Kanzenshuu

I really thought the comparison here would be premised on the body-stealing aspect of their characters. I was thinking during the latest episode that Black really reminded me of Baby when he took over Vegeta's body.

He's not one of Hit's race (if there's even a race of Hit-type people); there's no way an adversary with an identical ability to a guy in the last arc would be introduced like this. Your whole theory sounds way too convoluted to be likely.

I can't tell. It's all starting to become seemingly random now. Goku and Trunks are even at SS2? But then Goku goes SS2 against Black and was like, going even with him? And why specifically did Goku use SS2? Black warranted that? So Goku could somehow guess that Black was stronger than SS1 but ...

Hm, never would've noticed that on my own. I will say that the coolness level of the outfit makes it so I don't care how logical it is.

If they bring Kaioken back again, it would just be lazy as fuck. We get it -- it's a power-up that takes precise ki control to use and it'll probably fuck up your body. It's narrative purpose is so played out. Just focus on new techniques. These transformations and power-ups are stale.

There is an explanation of where the Black star DB's came from, it's just a nonsensical one - they were born when Kami and Piccolo split

Weren't they made by the Nameless Namekian before Kami and Piccolo split?
Yeah, I believe it's Pilaf who mentions that the Black Star DBs are stronger because ...

If I remember correctly, later on during the fight with Rild (once Rild powers-up), Goku says something along the lines of "I knew you had been holding back all along." So I'm not sure if Rild's base state is what Goku was comparing to Boo.

Maybe Super Saiyan 3 Goku? I dunno. If there's one thing I've noticed about the fandom, though, it's that if you've been arguing a certain stance for years, nothing will change your mind. I doubt if anyone would take Toriyama's word on battle powers with more than a grain of salt these days.
Gohan ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the different 'levels' of Super Saiyan 1 and 2 are simply un-mastered states of Super Saiyan. 'Mastering' Super Saiyan Grades 2 and 3 would just result in the state Goku and Gohan achieved after training in the Rosat for however long.

That being said, Vegeta, for ...

I would assume speed always goes hand in hand with power unless it's otherwise stated. I remember in the Namek arc, when Krillin had his latent power released by Saichoro, he exclaimed to himself about how much faster he could travel the planet after he first took flight.

Well, it's pretty apparent to me that the Budokai (specifically Infinite World specifically) engine is more suited to competitive play. The Sparking/Tenkaichi games are chock full of infinite combos and free counters to those infinites that make the game needlessly tedious as you grow more skilled ...

Like penguintruth says, you don't need to be fluent in Japanese to judge Japanese voice acting, because 99% of what it boils down to is intonation.

They aren't funny... to who?

I imagine that forcibly bringing yourself to a state of near death over and over again would be extremely unpleasant.

"I like looking at them" would be my guess.

I was open to this idea up until you mentioned the neo computerized shiny-mation. My thumbs are down now.
You say that as if traditional cell animation is still on the table. As long as it looks as good as the Episode of Bardock adaptation, I'm game; that's as good as I realistically expect the ...

I think it's just that Kai was edited so that it resembles the manga more than DBZ does. And I guess that holds true when you go through the general outline of the show (besides the missing ending), but I definitely feel like I'm just watching a strange iteration of Z when I watch Kai. It's probably ...

I recall being familiar with "Syn Shenron", but wondering why he had the Dragon Balls embedded in his chest on the disc's cover. So yeah, GT was definitely airing in the US at the time of Budokai 3's domestic release.

I never thought there was any error going on there. Black-haired Ultimate Gohan isn't hype; Super Saiyan Gohan is. The fact that he's wearing the orange gi makes it even cooler.

Boxer? Do you mean Dudley?

Boxer, Claw and Dictator are helpful nicknames given to the three characters who've had their names switched around in the American versions of Street Fighter games. M. Bison became Balrog, Vega became M. Bison, Balrog became Vega...

Will have to say with MvC3 I ...
