Re: Why do people think that Android arc Trunks>Mecha arc Trunks?

Then how did Trunks go from weaker than Yardart Goku to stronger than Piccolo who could handle the androids who were not as bad as the rumors made them out to be. The rumors were they would beat Yardat Goku easily and both Piccolo and Vegeta say they weren't that bad, not they weren't anywhere near...

Re: Where was Vegeta in Movie 10?

Training in his gravity chamber? In a state of deep meditation? Piccolo may have been doing the same.

If Vegeta were dead, I'd imagine Trunks would've wanted to use the Dragon Balls to bring him back to life rather than wish for his own amusement park.

Re: Why do people think that Android arc Trunks>Mecha arc Trunks?

Tien trained for 3 years and got a lot stronger and was still shocked at SSJ Goku's power to point it was like he had made no head way catching up. Sick Goku is as much stronger than Yardart Goku as Tien was to himself 3 years ago. Trunks also goes from having no chance against them to could fight ...

Re: Why do people think that Android arc Trunks>Mecha arc Trunks?

Tien is talking about Sick Goku's standing around power. He saw Goku and Trunks 4 years ago and was still surprised at Goku's power before fighting. We also know that Gohan who trained Trunks knew he wasn't as strong as Yardart Goku and he kept fighting the Androids. Based on dialogue it makes sinc...

Re: Why do people think that Android arc Trunks>Mecha arc Trunks?

Yeah, I think people generally take for granted that they continue growing stronger after a long period of time, even when it doesn't explicate that. Important points to note is that Tenshinhan didn't truly get to see Super Saiyan Goku fighting and at full throttle until he took on #19; he had a 'sw...

Re: Jinzouningen psyche

And whatever happened in the Mirai timeline that they went full psycho? Just Goku and 16 not being there? Even though I fell both stories could work standalone (selfdefensing and psychopaty), I dont see it being both coherent for divergences. I mean, they WERE the same individuals before divergence...

Re: Your explanations for why the Super Saiyan forms look that way

Super Saiyan forms are not a natural state for the Saiyan, they occur in response to situations of high stress as a survival mechanism and its physical traits are a reflection of that. The strain it causes to the body to produce such a high output of energy is at a genetic level; the mutation result...

Re: Kaioshin

I don't think it's a stretch to say that Kaioshin started 'losing it' while in Babidi's ship over the prospect of Buu being revived due to his traumatic experience with him in the past.

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

These pages are from the pamphlet for the release of Movie 8 at the Toei Anime Fair. I was curious if they make any correlation to the original story with Cell and how the characters obtained their powers, or if they just base it as a standalone story/alternate universe sort of thing: http://i67.tin...

Re: Why Couldn't Gohan Go Super Saiyan 2?

This is silly, even with the dialogue that I admitted Piccolo is still stating that Gohan is a child and that he is wondering why his father isn't helping him. That is obviously confusion! If you're questioning things like this then obviously you're not in the right frame of mind. Whether or not Go...

But Gohan wasn't in the right frame of mind. In fact Piccolo directly implied it when he questions Goku about using Gohan to save the world. He even says to Goku "Do you know what's going through his mind right now? "Why won't dad help me when I'm being hurt this much." He may be #1 ...

Re: Why Couldn't Gohan Go Super Saiyan 2?

I never said that Gohan wasn't at full power. What I'm saying is a mixture of things made it so that his full power was not his true power. Things like being in the right frame of mind, having courage and not being sick can effect a character in both negative and positive ways. Gohan is a prime exa...

Re: Why Couldn't Gohan Go Super Saiyan 2?

But Gohan wasn't trying in the beginning. Far from it. He was never on the offensive. He spent the whole time just avoiding Cell's attacks and saying he doesn't want to fight Cell. The only actual attack he did was when Cell ramped up his speed. And he didn't follow through with it. He hit Cell and...

Re: Why Couldn't Gohan Go Super Saiyan 2?

Being at full power and trying are to completely different things. Furthermore we know that frame of mind is also part of how much Ki a character can use so if Gohan is reluctant then that is going to effect his Ki. Much like getting Angry amplifies his Ki. I also don't see why Cell would randomly ...
