Re: King Cold a creation of the Tsfurian Race?

I'd doubt that Freeza was the only one with transformations; considering how many there were, and how drastic the transformations are themselves, I'd guess they work somewhat like Super Saiyan levels, though they might not be nearly as hard to achieve; everyone of his race is born with the ...

Re: Does not training make one's power level decrease?

Not every fight is violent but whatever, doesn't matter.

Unless you're getting into the realm of verbal arguments, yes, every fight is violent. Some fights aren't particularly NASTY (a lot of the verbal ones are), but they are all violent.

Goku with only Super Saiyan 3 was able to bring out all ...

Amiga, if memory serves, they weren't even that surprised when Goku popped up and went Super-Saiyan and such(though they got sweating when he proved to be tougher than them); the way they acted, I'm lead to believe that, after they let their bug go(which I'd say was the most impressive technology ...

Sparking! METEOR. When you really got into it, it could get as fast-paced as some of the fights in the show, if not faster; also, Future Gohan FTW.

Seriously who ever thought about Kaioken after Super Saiyan being introduced? No one and much less Akira Toriyama. :P

That is an unfair and unfounded assumption to make. Sure, Toriyama forgot about tails, but they hadn't been an issue since the end of the Saiyan Saga; by the time they would have ...

Rereboy, being in awe of someone's power implies you're much weaker than they are.

For that argument, I'd say that Kibito + Kaioshin simply wouldn't be as powerful as a Gohan + Goku, while possibly being a bit more powerful than Goku, simply guessing off the fact that Kibito half pood his pants ...

.......But Broly's power does rise continually when he hits LSSJ.

And just because Gohan HAD SSJ2 doesn't mean he was smart enough to use it, nor does it mean that he was strong enough in basic SSJ to outdo Broly; and even if he was(there is a fairly valid argument in that Gohan was fighting not ...

I'm honestly lead to believe that Bulma poofed one up for him, maybe gave it some spiffy boost that kept it from breaking when Trunks used it.

I gotta agree with Dayspring(though not Kid Trunks) on how the sword was able to slice through things. As Trunks's offensive force was greater than Freeza's ...

I honestly found Broly's uncontrollable love of clotheslining to be entertaining, I'm sorry.

And I can still be entertained by some of the initial Gohan v. SSJ Broly fights; those 15 or so seconds are heavy on technique and one could guess that Broly had picked up a martial art somewhere. Then ...

I have no idea how you justify Nail getting wished back.

A) He never died; came real close, but Piccolo merged before he kicked the bucket.

B) Piccolo didn't murder him while they were fused. That one's moderately impossible.

C) The wish brought back dead people; since Nail didn't die, he couldn ...

I actually really enjoyed the Goku vs. Perfect Cell fight; except for the silliness involving the maiming and regenerating, it was a real physical fight. I also wanna give it some credit for being one of the few fights in which Goku is able to outdo Cell on technique; if memory serves he would've ...

I personally feel that since Cell is all about *evolving* that his body apparently found the secret to the ability and he no longer needs his head to be intact to be able to regenerate.

I'd personally say that Si Xing Long could eventually drop Kakarrot; from what I've seen of the fight they aren't THAT far apart in power or speed, so I don't think Si has the extreme advantage that would be necessary to make such a tactic really viable, nor is Goku so far above the 4-star in power ...

Assuming the generator was biological in nature, then, yeah, I can see it as being able to increase its power output; they'd probably need to do Vegeta-and-Goku esque high gravity/afterlife level training to do any better.
