Re: Do you like all filler?

I actually enjoy the filler. What would be really nice if it were rearranged so that it doesn't hamper the action so much. It would be even better if they expanded upon the filler at times of peace. Unfortunately that is never gonna happen. The only arc I don't enjoy is the Garlic Jr crap. Even fake ...

Guess the next DB live action movie can now be set in the Cell arc. That dude IS Mr. Satan.

Re: When did Kuririn lose his passion as a martial artist?

I think Kuririn just got fed up with fighting when he got blown up by Frieza. The final straw though would have to be as he watched helplessly as Gohan struggled to fight Cell's Kamehameha. By then he gave up on fighting and settled for a family as he had always wished.

Re: How strong was Gohan after the 3 year training period?

Gohan in my opinion was the fourth strongest. Vegeta was first, Goku second, Piccolo third. If Gohan's got into his rage mode then he would have probably been stronger than Piccolo, but not SSJ Goku and Vegeta.

Agreed. I don't know if this is on the manga or not but before they started the 3 year ...

Re: Toriko Takes DBK's Slot On April 3 (Kai Ends with Cell)

Hmm... Considering that they pegged Kai as being more faithful to the manga I wonder what Toriyama has to say about it getting canned/being planed for only up to the Cell arc. They definetely spent some cash to get this thing redone but it isn't something astronomical considering the scale of the ...

Re: How would you rewrite the ending of the manga?

To me having Mr. Buu survive always felt wrong given his previous actions.
Huh, he was like a kid, it wasn't his fault.

Do you think the giant toddler from "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" (sequel of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids") should have been destroyed? :P

I guess you could put it that way, but if ...

Re: How would you rewrite the ending of the manga?

Didn't really flesh this out, but here is a rough draft of my own personal ending.

I would have changed it so that Goku did not return to life. After Gohan returns to Earth, he adopts Goku’s gi style in honor of him. Replace the situation involving Goku, Vegeta, and Vegetto with a back and forth ...

Re: Z-Senshi Battle Royal

Unless they all teamed up on him, Gohan takes this one. He's leagues above the rest and could easily incinerate most of the competition.
If Gohan had equal strength as all the others, he would be one of the weakest as he's not really a good fighter nor he has good techniques.

Actually that is ...

Re: How strong is Kid Trunks and Goten?


First of all, Gotenks is clearly much stronger than Goku.

Actually, it isn't clear at all. Were it clear there would be no debate over Gohan being stronger than Goku and vice versa.




Second, #18 is much weaker than the Full-power Super Saiyans.

• #18 is a bit inferior to #17.

Re: How strong is Kid Trunks and Goten?

One little detail people have been forgetting is that C18 wasn't really scared of what they could do to her but what they could do to the immediate surroundings. She decided to end the fight quickly to avoid them from hurting anyone.

I highly doubt they could have defeated her if she was really ...

Re: Gohan forms when he fought Dabura - the topic

Here's what I think....

Option 1 - SSJ Gohan vs Dabura

Pros

1) The art indicates Gohan is a SSJ, AT is able to draw probably 30 or 40 pages of SSJ2s with lightning. Also, Dabura's blast has lightning. It's just highly unlikely that AT would forget the lightning by accident, seeing as the chapter ...

Not to mention that neither Vegeta or Gohan were seriously fighting Trunks/Goten.

What I meant was that Cell was fighting at the same level as he was when he powered up to fight Goku at full power. But I guess you are right, he wasn't really trying to kill Gohan.

Re: Kaboom!!!

I think destroying a planet has less to do with power than how its done. Blasts directed towards the core in a focused form are likely enough to destroy a planet. It is possible that even Roshi could destroy the Earth had he directed his Kamehameha towards its core.
That doesn't really make sense ...

Re: How strong is Kid Trunks and Goten?

It's hard to say because they only fought against themselves and collectively against C18. My guess is they are about as strong as Goku/Vegeta/Trunks at the start of the android saga. This would put their strength just bellow C18 who could easily handle Vegeta but could perhaps be beaten if attacked ...

Re: Gohan and Goku

I agree that is pretty clear Gohan is stronger than Goku. However, it doesn't appear to be so because he is does not want to fight Cell, he is merely defending himself, trying not to get killed. Cell on the other hand, is actively trying to kill Gohan right up until the "hidden power" speech. During ...

Re: A Goku and Gohan What-If

Yep, Cell would probably have been beaten before achieving his Perfect form. However, I think if that happened Gohan would have become even stronger on the long run as there is no way Goku would allow Gohan to just study. If you look back on the story, whenever they are together they are training ...
