Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

The community already did it's research and the counterplay found was to shove her in the team. There's nothing to figure out. Combo Breaker this weekend had 19 Labcoats in the top 24. She needs to be corrected and I hope until the patch drops she's banned from tournaments. ArcSys probably agrees si...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Looks nice. Each time I see the new animations the more I get used to them. Broly's style was amazing which makes this new approach after the success alienating, I don't mind trying new things and Dragon Ball needs all the freshness it can get. Goku really is an extended cameo in this That's for the...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread

We had to dig up Bardock from the grave to provide "Saiyan Pride" when there's a whole other Universe with a Saiyan civilization thriving with connections to our own Saiyans.

Re: Giving Goku and Vegeta the boot for a long while

Starting with the Saiyan arc, this was what happened for the majority of the time. Goku was always dead or training, playing only a significant role in the final stretch of the arcs. Arguably Dragon Ball was ensemble show for a lot of it's duration. Super reverted this trend, adding Vegeta to the fr...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread

The wish is the extreme version of revealing Goku is a Saiyan, justifying his specialness compared to humans. The difference was, it didn't take away Goku's efforts. Tao Pai Pai got robbed. Maybe the symbolism of Goku being saved by the four star ball was foreshadowing, Toriyama was thinking decades...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread

I thought the wish wasn't meant to been real but Toyotarõ went out of his way to confirm it and destroy Goku's struggles for half of the manga. Personally it's the most offensive writing since the end of the original manga. Bardock's forceful insertion reached the present to deliver us "Saiyan ...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Does anyone feel that instead of a DBFZ2 they should just do a Shonen Jump FighterZ? Because the only thing I could see a DBFZ2 do differently is giving the cast install transformations instead of making separate forms separate characters. I personally think that DBFZ should just get the Xenoverse ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

Ever since Battle of Gods, Toriyama came up with this idea of Saiyans improving during a fight, which wasn’t quite really a thing in the original (it was always post-fight). I think that Vegeta just got a rage boost in Battle of Gods. It was Goku who actually improved during his fight with Beerus. ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

Well wasn’t it weird how only Bardock, among all the Saiyans, smelled that something was wrong out of Freeza recalling everyone? It kind of makes sense that he got some hint of it in the past. He wasn’t outright told so, by the way. Yeah it's weird because it portrays the Saiyans as apathic or wors...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

I didn't like this chapter. I don't care about Bardock, he's dead for over 30 years. This chapter destroys what Minus made interesting about the character, a brain that connected Freeza intentions, instead he's told(twice) and he's just as stupid as the other Saiyans. Elec in true Bond villain fashi...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Gohan was written better during the Saiyan Saga-Cell Game, that Gohan was able to balance both training and studying. Then Gohan got carried away during the peace time after Cell defeat and got weak in the Buu Saga. Gohan can see how not training affects his ability to protect others in the Buu Sag...

Re: Could other villains have been stopped with the Mafuba/Evil Containment Wave?

snip Excellent post, I agree with the relative in-universe explanations. Most of the time there wasn't any opportunity for the Mafuba but it's pretty "weird" that the thought didn't even pass the minds of the Z-Warriors on some occasions. Of course we know out-of-universe Toriyama just wr...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

I'm starting to repeat myself so this will be my last post about it. I agree that mental and others factors have influence, in this case at best it's minuscule. The Nappa example is good but I don't think it was a 50% difference which in Toriyama writing is "shit your pants" difference. Go...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Weakening Gohan sounds like a way of humiliating and humbling him after how he acted vs Cell. Having him just have a big fight to close the saga probably sounded too obvious for Toriyama too, who likes to subvert expectations. There’s no doubt Gohan is stronger, he’d definitely have won a straight ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Narratively Cell didn't return to bring tension, he returned to close plotlines as a tool. The character itself at this point doesn't matter, he doesn't even trade punches with Gohan. Nobody shits it's pants like usual about him(only after Gohan is injured), only Gohan has a passing comment about hi...

Well, yeah, sure, nothing says Cell cannot be that weak or that Gohan cannot be that strong, but if Cell came back stronger than before, confident enough to take on Gohan, so much so that he chose to fuck around with the rest without any concerns about pissing him off even more, he comes off as jus...

SSJ2 Gohan (Cell Games): 7,600 M -- injured: 7,000M (he said he was at half power, but that seems to be a figure of speech, Cell cannot be that weak) Why not? The expression is quite literal, "less than half of Ki" as per Herms translation. Could be that Cell isn't that weak, just that Go...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 82 - Official Discussion Thread

Well, Goku was a little bastard as a Saiyan, the head trauma changed his personality completely. Maybe Goku has his old personality return and mix with his current self? That would certainly make this possible outcome more interesting. I’m not sure that’s how psychology works. Goku has already embe...
