Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Based on the manga it's South > All other Kaioshins > current Kaioshin . The strongest and the weakest is specifically highlighted, why should we think otherwise? Boo could have absorbed Dai Kaioshin for a number of reasons besides power. After all it absorbed Piccolo for "brains". The mos...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
Formulaic and dull chapter for me. Most if not all arcs in this manga start with these warm-up battles mostly to demonstrate and explain the current power-scale. Which is fine, however, when the character whose power I want to know for plot and character reasons, Beerus, is ignored to avoid giving a...

Re: Do you like fusions?
I do. They have however overstayed their welcome. The main problem being character suppression. Trunks and Goten are the main victims, always being connected to Gotenks. Gogeta and Vegetto were overused in Super with the latter even forcing a plot rewrite "btw the earrings are temporary as wel...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread
Honestly surprised the game lasted this long at EVO. The support started to fade in 2021 already, when they finished the last season pass. A year later you have Labcoat which was probably already half done and follows no logical reason for release besides grabbing a few bucks. Shortly after with the...

Re: Power Levels should have more relevance
Power-scaling always existed and still exists(later Super anime excluded). All the "many times stronger", old Villain returning to get his ass kicked and the never failing "half as strong than" line frequently repeated. These are all for that purpose, essential by the very nature...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
So, soliciting some opinions: We know that removing weighted clothing gives a jump in BP, as the characters get lighter. Would this also apply to moving between differing levels of Gravity? That is, if a character was (say) in a Gravity Room that went from high gravity to normal gravity, would thei...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 98 - Official Discussion Thread
Highlight is Pan's flying save. Chapter is enjoyable, it's stretching the fighting for way too long. Once again Toyotarõ keeps copying the original manga, it's beyond the point of references. I hated when the anime did it, I hate it here. I wouldn't be surprised if 10% of this manga was straight up ...

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)
Having BoG after the timeskip means losing most of the cast, since they're old and retired. Who exactly? Krillin, 18, Tien and Yamcha all can still fight even post EoZ. Bulma would still be a smart scientist, now smarter than ever with age, much like her Future-self. And we would gain the addition ...

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)
Super with the exception of BoG just wants to go back, to be an highlight reel. BoG is the story that moved the series back and made us stay there for 10+ years.. Yes it brought new cast and new form, but it could have been done post EoZ and still feel the same, except with actual tension. The writ...

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)
The major problem with Super is being a midquel, which plays as if everyone suddenly gets amnesia at the 26th Tenkaichi Budokai. Goku was always changing in tandem with his goal of continuous improvement. Yet his most salient trait since the Cell arc, his succession/the next generation, is ignored. ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
So when the Superhero arc is over in the manga, does anyone think Daima may be the next arc? I'm just thinking it could potentially be unless it's a completely new thing. I'd say perhaps a buffer arc in the middle before Daima since we're still a year away. Like early Super I expect for Daima to de...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I'm mildly optimistic about this. Mostly from the statement from Toriyama which mentioned exploring a new World and Goku needing to bring out the nyoibõ. The animation appears good as well, not like Super. Hope that means a thematic return to older Dragon Ball, focusing on the adventure and martial ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
For sake of comparison, Tao is stronger than Gohan. Goku tanks attacks from both: while with Gohan he's not even damaged; with Tao he receives moderate bruises. Just looking at the fights, I disagree. Goku was trading blows to blows with Gohan, with both dodging each other more than once and making...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
He really, really doesn't though. As I've laid out there's no indication that Goku was ever at full exertion at any point in that fight, and more importantly, no indication that anyone at this point can sense ki the way they can in Z. If anything we're shown the opposite. We're agreeing,. I also do...

Digging up an years old list I made I have Tao at 49. For the 22nd TB: Tenshinhan - 70 Goku - 68 Jachie Chun - 65 Kuririn - 52 Yamcha - 44 Chiaotzu - 42 Kuririn said Yamcha was about as good as himself, and they both had the same info about Goku's old power. I wouldn't put Yamcha more than a couple...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Random ass question: Is there any indication that anyone in the 22nd Budokai arc besides the two finalists and Roshi have surpassed Tao Paipai? Knowing that Tao was about on par with (but slightly inferior to) end-of-arc RRA Goku. I'd think Crane Hermit (power level of 120 given in Weekly Jump) and...
