Do you think Dragon Ball would have worked better if Goku died on Namek?

Son Goku is unable to find a working space ship to escape Namek's destruction, he resigns himself to his faith as he wa...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

1. We have prior dialogue from Son Goku that he did not account for Vegeta's blast in helping Gohan win. As Goku clearly says early in the beam struggle that if Gohan cuts loose like cell, he can win. Once more: Vegeta's blast clearly distracted Cell, and took his focus entirely away from the beam-...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

We saw Super perfect cell tank blast from an enraged vegeta when he SSJ 2nd grade and enraged. Correct. The difference, however, is that Cell saw Vegeta coming in that instance, and was fully prepared/ready: https://i.ibb.co/Sc1rnyC/image.jpg ...So of course his attacks were effectively no-sold, gi...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Daiz e nshuu though has several entries in it that are flawed because when created they look at things in isolation and there is oversight into how they relate to one another. For example, daizenshuu entry states that Piccolo daimo's strongest attack can destroy only a city. This is because this is...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

It's rash to just lock in on Gohan's remark about being at half-strength while overlooking everything else. Ki is just as much a spiritual and mental power as it is a physical one, and Gohan's despair was holding him back just as much as his injury. He didn't win in the end because his 50% was stil...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Except this isn't how it went down. In your analogy, Cell would be a guy who starts an arm wrestling contest with someone who is only using 50% of his strength, while cell is using 100% of his. Cell cannot immediately overpower this person despite this person only using 1/2 their strength. Cell the...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

How does cell being momentarily distracted become a factor? If we consider that then we should acknowledge that gohan was also distracted having conversation with goku. Gohan digging deep is not any increase or extra power, it's the power he always had from the beginning that he was intentionally h...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Except that wasn't the case. Goku throughout the entire fight was telling gohan to unleash his full power. He was not only telling gohan to do so at the moment vegeta struck cell. It was indeed the case. Goku was gently pushing Gohan into utilizing his full power against Cell throughout the beam-st...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

How does cell being momentarily distracted become a factor? Because it was then...and only then...that Gohan unleashed his full power. And Goku explicitly prompted him to do so in that moment(ie. "NOW!!!"), because he also saw the brief opening in Cell's defense that was provided by Veget...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

That blast from vegeta makes no difference. Except... It did. Granted Vegeta's blast didn't harm/damage SPC, but it was obviously sufficient enough to distract Cell, thereby providing Gohan with the precious moment he needed to dig deep and definitively overpower him... So I suppose the bigger ques...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Cell being hit by an attack by base vegeta would not have caused any real change to the fight; it's like saying a mosquito biting you caused you to lose the fight. This isn't exactly accurate. Attacks from weaker characters can injure/distract stronger characters IF the latter is unprepared at the ...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Multiple guides state that SPC was equal to or slightly stronger than Gohan. Goku made it clear that Gohan did not lose 50% of his power. He only lost his confidence. Once he got a pep talk from Goku, he got his power back. Gohan was only able to win, because Vegeta created a distraction. I hope th...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

So let me this straight. Everything in DB Super has been some variation of events in DBZ. And now they are turning them into kids as a call back to DB:GT. I don't want to say it but they are running out of ideas.

https://i.imgur.com/SmdZVFd.jpg In their fight, Gohan was stated to have lost more than 1/2 his ki, had a broken arm and was talking to his dead father for a pep talk. Cell was 100% serious and ready to kill Gohan and all of the solar system. When their beams struck, Cell had more time to charge up...

Chi Chi and Goku should have gotten a divorce a long time ago

Chichi's was infatuated with Goku when they were young and had little to no responsibilities. Chichi's love was superficial; she saw a guy who was strong and good looking and wanted him for herself, but like a lot of women secretly wanted some aspects of Goku to change. https://images4.alphacoders.c...

Let's suppose each of these mangaka were allowed to write 1 full story arc that follows off from the Granola arc in Dragon Ball Super, what direct do you think they would take Dragon Ball as a series? Do you think it would be better or worse than what we have now? 1. Masashi Kishimoto - who is the c...
