Re: I always felt weird that Sergeant Metallic was in a commanding position...

While he has that rank, it may be the equivalent of just being honorary and not something that he actually ever operated on (i.e. gave orders to underlings), and perhaps just a title given to him to make other soldiers able to accept working around him more readily.

Re: Did Kuririn and Yamcha in the 23rd Budokai...

Maybe we have different interpretations of the story about what they actually mean, but whenever someone's strength or speed is called not normal in a story like Dragon Ball it's because they are above the person calling them not normal. I linked to the manga page where Yamcha makes the comment and...

Re: Did Kuririn and Yamcha in the 23rd Budokai...

That doesn't make sense. Why would they even say Goku is not normal if his speed was still lower or around their own? If anything, they should have said that only Tien is not normal since he is the one that truly considered that speed as slow given he was even faster than that. There wouldn't be an...

Re: Did Kuririn and Yamcha in the 23rd Budokai...

Krillin and Yamcha said "they" as in both Goku and Tien aren't normal to them. Such a quote is obviously talking about both of their levels. This means Weighted Goku's speed, which is equal to Kid Goku's (against King Piccolo) speed, is above Yamcha and Krillin's speed. By that logic, Kid...

Re: Did Kuririn and Yamcha in the 23rd Budokai...

They were amazed by Weighted Goku's speed, calling it not normal, although they were strong enough to see him (Tien was even faster to the point that Krillin and Yamcha could not see him at all). You misunderstood what was said. They weren't saying Goku's speed wasn't normal. They were saying that ...

Re: Giran Beat Goku - Tenkaichi Rulings

Goku should have been DQ'd, and Krillin should have been DQ'd as well. But you know who shouldn't have been DQ'd? Tao against Tenshinhan. He could use Giran's statement, and point out that as a Cyborg, he can store quite various things inside of himself. I think the counterargument could be made of...

Re: Giran Beat Goku - Tenkaichi Rulings

I mean, if we're also going to go by rules that weren't enforced, Kuririn should have won against Jackie Chun in the 21st Budoukai, as he left the ring prior to the 10 count ending. Even though Kuririn didn't end up getting up by the end of the count, the count is what determines whether someone is ...

Re: Is Broly the LSSJ that Beerus wants to fight?

Beerus specifically wanted to fight the Super Saiyan God, as that's what the Oracle Fish's prophecy said, and the Oracle Fish said that Beerus's opponent would appear that specific day that Goku became the Super Saiyan God. So no, there's really no wiggle room for Broly to be the individual. Now, im...

Re: Opinion of Lunch

I always liked her as a side character. Toriyama probably wasn't too fond of her, which is likely why he wrote her out in the Saiyan arc. That along with Chichi being added to the cast. There were plenty of opportunities to include her afterwards, but clearly Toei/Toriyama just weren't interested. ...

Re: The TRUE timeline of Dragonball

What is more is that in the Dragonball Super Super Hero movie the creators said it takes place 10 years after the defeat of Buu so around the original ending. Yet Toriyama has changed the design of Bulma and no longer appears as visibly aged as she was in the original ending. No, Iyoku said that it...

Re: Was it ever explained why Majin Vegeta turned into a stone statue?

He is using life energy, because ki is life energy. Contrary to what the Funimation dub tried to push, that there are two different forms of energy within the body, and that life energy could be added in, ki is life energy in the original manga and anime. It's nebulous, but there is something of a ...

Re: Would you classify the Buu as a symbiote?

I'm only familiar with the anime canon, and the DBS manga. In DBZ, everyone Buu absorbed recently was cocooned inside his body. The Kai was nowhere to be seen. Since that happened millions of years ago, I assume he was digested. His consciousness resurfaced in DBS, but there was no indication his b...

Re: The TRUE timeline of Dragonball

In any case here are a few facts. The ending of the original manga has been officially retconned by Super, the moment Vegeta no longer learns about Uub from Goku right before the 28th TB but instead much earlier. And in general, it is unwise to use the original ending anymore if you are also going ...

Re: How *Low* Can PLs Go?

I guess if you try to read Whis’ battle power, the scouter will show he has zero, right? I don't think that it'd read zero so much as just not scan him at all to even register a battle power. It'd be like trying to scan a rock or a car. It's just not giving off a signal to which a reading could eve...

Movie 9 already fits perfectly in the timeline in my opinion. I don't think they can do anything new or interesting with Bojack. The way time travel was explained to us in Super prevents the events of movie 9 from playing out the way they do. Trunks is said to have returned from the future to visit...

Is it canon that there were other Earth gods before Kami, or was that Toei filler? If the latter, then the title is just a Namekian thing. The elder on Namek is their version of Kami. Think about it. What do the gods of Earth and the elders of Namek have in common? They both create Dragon Balls for...

I personally believe that he didn't necessarily have what it took to defeat Buu, or at least that Buu was going easy on him toward the end. When Gotenks Buu was facing off against Gohan, he makes this comment to him. Boo: “It’s your fault. You were stronger than I, who should have been the absolute ...
