Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?

This actually has me thinking. I'm not well versed in deeper metaphysical and cosmic fabric of the DC universe. Is there anything resembling "qi/chi/ki" in the sense that East Asian mythology shows martial artists as being able to tap into and weaponize for superhuman feats? Are there any...

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

[They are still very much below the adult saiyan males. This is even supported when the fusion ran out. Buu reverted to the next most powerful form which was Piccolo. It's a bit more complicated than that. In the manga, there are two "Buuccolos," the one with Piccolo and the kids that you...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Concerning the various Buus, I think Fat Buu is essentially the same as Mister Buu from the end of the Buu Arc, but he occasionally has "rage boosts" that make him stronger for a time. We see this a couple times after he first appears. The greatest of the enraged moments is right before he...

Re: What would be the political stance of DB characters

However, Hitlers national socialism and communism are very similar, more than historians want to admit or they just don’t know… Hitler wrote his auto biography to state his stupid vision for the world, and in it made the statement “hey I’m not a communist because I’m racist too, so please don’t get...

Re: So was Piccolo planning on killing Frost and taking the disqualification?

Definitely think it was a case where he planned on putting a hole through Frost and either knocked him out (of the ring) or otherwise let the immense injury leave him unable to fight anymore. Enough damage to seriously maim Frost, but not so much as to kill him if he kept the beam below the heart o...

Re: VegettoEX -- why do you act so pompous?

I haven’t appeared anywhere in a Dragon Ball story (I guess all those checks I’m sending aren’t helping), so unfortunately I don’t think there’s a good answer for this one quite yet. (…unless I missed something somewhere?!) If and when Toriyama (or I suppose Toyotaro at this point) write me into th...

Re: Criticism

I'm not really that active here anymore, but a lot of this criticism seems to be a bit...late? This seems aimed at pre-2013 Mike, before I even joined. The moderation has been pretty relaxed since the current wave surged in post-Battle of Gods.

Re: What would you choose: Good voice acting with bad translation or Bad voice acting with good translation?

I'd have to go with good voice acting with a bad translation. In the end, a show's job is to make money, and you'll get a lot more viewers and higher ratings if the acting is good than you would with just a faithful translation. And, in the end, most people don't really care about things being super...

Re: do the people of earth think Mr Satan can destroy the world on a whim?

They should think that, I guess. If he had defeated Cell in a close fight, if he had earned the W, like Goku vs Freeza (if he had killed him with the genkidama), or vs Z Broly, then maybe you could expect Mark to not be able to destroy the planet. But according to himself, after all the dancing aro...

Re: To the People who Watched Dragon Ball on Toonami...

You all seem to remember Toonami DBZ way differently than I do. My biggest memory was them rerunning Raditz to Ginyu endlessly for forever, the voices being shitty when they got back, the Freeza fight lasting forever, and capping it all off was the Garlic Junior arc. I didn't get back into DB after ...

Re: How far would a zombie virus get in the Dragon Ball multiverse?

I can see a Marvel Zombies style infection eventually requiring Zeno to intervene. That one doesn't seem to have any limits on what it can infect, and all it would take is getting an infected family member of one of the Saiyans close enough to bite. Once that happens, it's over, a zombie Goku could ...

You'll see this in Western fiction as well, say novels set in the 19th Century where a character might have been born in Cherokee culture but now goes by "John" until somebody from his tribe shows up and calls him by his Cherokee name. Like Kryptonians often call Superman Kal-El. It's jus...
