Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?

I actually got into that same argument with a Batman fan 10 years ago. "Batman has learned more martial arts styles, therefore he is more skilled," I believe he said. To that, I replied Goku was said to have displayed the most skillful martial arts the World tournament had ever seen and he...

Re: How did Cell know Geros Shutdown remote was destroyed?

He might just be aware that Dr. Gero's lab is destroyed and assumed the remote along with it. Sounds like a bit of sloppy exposition on the writers part, though.

Re: Can Cell use Super Saiyan Blue and Ultra Instinct?

He would probably receive his own god-like form, similar to how Goku Black did.

Re: Should Universe 7 Saiyans get revived along with the planet

In the manga Vados says this "Ah, I've found it Champa-Sama! There's an Earth in our 6th universe as well. But unfortunely... In this earth's past, it appears a senseless massive war broke out... Driving all of humanity into extinction..." The humans were so evil in Universe 6, they basic...

Re: Would Goku had the same reaction (SS transformation) if Gohan was killed instead of Kuririn?

To add to this, the only other time before when we saw Goku lose his mind is the first time Krillin died. I think Krillin dying a second time triggered some past trauma in Goku.

Re: Who is the Strongest Person in Hell?

People in hell aren't supposed to keep their body, according to the in-universe rules. Only heroes like Goku get to keep their bodies. So filler episodes of villains in hell create plot holes. I guess Frieza is an exception, because he did so much evil in his life that he needed to repent before bei...

Re: Is the "Complete Illustrations" artbook by Viz still worth tracking down?

The first Daizenshuu is the only one that was released in English, so for collector purposes you can't even collect them all unless you choose to buy them in Japanese.

Re: Do you prefer reading the manga colored or black and white....? And also...

I prefer the black and white pages, except for the handful of colored pages Toriyama made. They don't really look good in gray scale. I honestly don't like the bright colors of the Full Color release. I think the best way to read it is the Kanzenban release if you can read Japanese. The higher paper...

The broadcast audio is important to the Japanese release, so if you're not watching in Japanese, your dub is probably already in better quality. I assum...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

If you don't want the Japanese voice acting, what exactly do you want from the broadcast audio that your preferred dub doesn't already have? Music? Sound effects? The only reason the broadcast audio is coveted is because it's such a higher quality version of specifically the Japanese performances. ...

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

Both herms strength guide and direct text from the manga tells us that gohan was at 50% power when he fired his blast at cell. Why are you denying a direct text from the manga? I remember that section of the manga vividly. The manga didn't say that at all. I don't know what else to tell you. You've...

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?

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 is incorrect, when we saw Tien do something similar to Semi-Perfect Cell. And if Vegeta's attack did nothing to Cell, then there w...

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 tha...

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Base Vegito isn't as strong as the anime filler would lead you to believe. My logic goes off of the fact that other characters do not seem to get a similar multiplier from fusing. Kibitokai was still considered useless in the fight against Bui, even though Supreme Kai was about as strong as a FPSSJ ...

I would probably just prefer they keep the old cast, unless they plan to remake all of DB/DBZ. In which case do a full recast.

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

My request was to separate the language from the rest of the audio, since this blu-ray release uses the broadcast audio. My hope was to combine it with my preferred language if possible.
