New Ginyu theme is impressive and especially manly, I like.

Loved the episode, but I'm afraid I had the distinct impression throughout that Vegeta needed very badly to clear his throat.

I liked it, especially the faster pacing makes things seem much more urgent without the 'something happens, then take 5 minutes to stop and get everyone's opinion even if they're on the toilet' approach.

They do need at least another death/sad/grief theme though.

I always thought he sort of said that as a lame boast, possibly because Vegeta and Nappa wouldn't have had anything to do with a weakling like him before their homeworld got blown up. Now that he was working along side the Prince and a powerful noble like Nappa, he could boast of being a high class ...

I actually really liked #3. While I think the first two episodes have been basically mediocre, I really enjoyed this one. The whole episode was tight and crisp, no annoying but memorable cutaways like in the original. I also feel that the Seiyuu have really warmed up and gotten into their roles, as ...

If his body can regenerate itself, I would think it only works one way. After his defeat, his minions had to built him almost an entirely new body instead of him just shifting forms to regenerate. I would think Freeza's reluctance to risk damaging his body in his final form is shown in the manga in ...

I think it's a safe guess that Toriyama was eating some kind of salad when he thought up the names for these guys.

I honestly thought it was fine (fine, not great, not terrible, but fine). My only points of contention are the opening (Dokkan Dokkan thing just doesn't do it for me, it sounds too fast and poppy), and the Piccolo/Raditz scene. That 'demon theme' really made the scene in my opinion, and in the Kai t...

I always had the impression that Broly was weaker after waking up from being frozen in the ground. He had that large wound on his chest (from Goku's 'Toei punch' cheese move at the end of movie 8) that Gohan seemed to focus on several times, even managing to land a few small blows (something that Go...

Re: The Super Saiyan 2nd Grade's Weaknesses

I think part of the reason it was abandoned was because it had a linear path of advancement that inevitably led to stage 3, and all of the drawbacks already stated.

The path that Trunks and Vegeta went down in the RoSAT led to a dead end, and was the result of a flawed training regimen.

Yeah as far as I know 'ningen' refers to humanoids and 'chikyujin' (don't know exactly how it's spelled, but that's what it sounds like) specifically refers to earthlings. Chikyu being 'earth' and Uchyuu being 'universe', uchyuujin (sorry if I butchered that) refers to 'alien.' This being what I hav...

We can also assume Ginyu unlocked his Super Frog Powers (SFSJ) in order to be able to attack Cell.

One reason that Goku got so much more out of that post Ginyu zenkai than Vegeta is because Goku did extensive gravity training. While Vegeta got beaten up repeatedly, it's not too much of a stretch for extensive gravity training to be much more intensive than just fighting. Vegeta largely made up th...

Re: Taopaipai and Bukujutsu

I don't think Tao Pai Pai ever is actually stated to be stronger than Kame-sennin, though him easily beating Goku after Goku gave Kame-sennin such a hard fight certainly implies it. Howevr, Daizenshuu 7 only puts Kame-sennin at 139 after he powered up from training for the 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai, ...

I am no expert on this, but I believe that 17 is the stronger of the two, but by how much I am not sure. Vegeta could keep up with 18 but the fact she didn't get tired made her impossible for Vegeta to defeat at the time, Once Piccolo and Kami merge Piccolo is Equal with 17. Yeah I think Piccolo ha...

Indeed. Though, it only bothers me when there's no logical reason for such a huge strength increase. Goku becomes a lot stronger after training eight months with Master Roshi? Sure, Roshi put the kid through hell. Goku's a lot stronger after training three years between the 21st and 22nd Tenkaichi ...

I think one of the reasons he kept Vegeta around is the same reason that he keeps the Ginyu force, Zarbon, Dodoria, and his other minions around. While he doesn't need them and could accomplish what they do with a mere flick of the wrist, it's more amusing to be able to give orders and play the role...

They weren't switching in and out of SSJ2 during that fight. They were raising their ki to it's respective maximum and lowering it again, hence the auras. Additionally, while it would be nice to be able to use the anime scenes as an accurate indication of what they were doing and when they did it, t...

That's not even the right quote. Goku's going off of what Tarble said. Why would Tarble be referring to a form of Freeza he doesn't even know exists? Tarble is the one that compares them to Freeza. Not Goku. Tarble says Abo and Cado have reached Freeza's strength. Given that Goku does not contradic...
