Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Deftones being used for Goku's transformation against Cooler is peak-cinema and nothing will change my mind.

True Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego both being abandoned after that awful Granolah arc would be fine by me :lol:

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Battle of gods said so. Fusion was denied an option to beat Beerus. This has never changed. Let us know when it does. You're not making any sense whatsoever. You're saying that because what is essentially a hypothetical Buu saga Gogeta / Vegito couldn't defeat Beerus... he's stronger than all fusio...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"

Manga and entertainment should stay away as far from politics as they can. Why? because it might offend you personally? We don't want another situation like the Death Note, which featured a sudden appearance by President Trump. Why? It made for a hilarious visual and made sense in the context of th...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

Whitewashing aside he made a decent Boo saga era Gohan, shame that wasn't the character he was supposed to be playing, but that's not his fault just the way the character was written Goku isn't white? Oh he's super white. Based on the super caucasian Jackie Chan and the Monkey King from the very wh...

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

Some could argue that without the awfulness of DBE Toriyama wouldn't have been as fired up when rewriting the BoG script and thus launching the Dragon Ball revival era we're still in today. And not saying this applies to you, but many of the same people going "he's not Asian, he's an alien"...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

A dark thought that I had was about all of those fans complaining about not getting DBS season 2... Well with Toriyama passing away an animated adaptation of the manga exclusive arcs are pretty much an inevitability and may happen sooner rather than later. Hell maybe they'll even make movies out of ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

While I’m not entirely convinced (movie) Beerus was only quite as strong as Goku and Vegeta fighting as a team, more like close to Broly at full power, I can see why Gohan and Cell Max would be up there with this reasoning, but why Piccolo? Is he that much stronger than Goku and Vegeta even fightin...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

No one ever surpassed Beerus in the movies, Broly, Beast Gohan, Gogeta Blue, Cell Max and Orange Piccolo are all stronger than Beerus. Jiren is not stronger in terms of raw power but is a better fighter than him. The last stated strength level of Beerus was when Whis said SSJB Goku and Vegeta worki...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I find it mildly interesting that Vegito named himself instantly meanwhile Gogeta had to think of a name, maybe it's because Vegito was already taken.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

Your concession is accepted. Says the guy who got desperate enough to start denying manga canon and can't give any of my questions straight answers because the writing he is defending is so garbage. But you know what's hilarious, even if we go with the Daizenshuu, guess what? It proved me right. Du...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

Doesn't change the fact that his rage boost ability is there; exists. So you can't give me a straight answer then? In turn admitting Gohan's rage boosts aren't consistent, contrary to what you claimed before? If the writing wasn't "bad" you would be able to give me a simple logical answer...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

There was no plot twist. Your simply reaching and connecting dots that aren't there. It's stated that Gohan has rage boost it's not stated that he can't do it. So between the Cell Games and Super Hero, where were these massive rage boosts when Gohan needed them? I'm not moving goal posts I posted s...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

You completely misinterpreted that line. What Gohan is saying is that even though he feels anger, he can't get angry like he could back then. He's stuttering and sweating and shitting himself and obviously isn't flying into a rage like he did during the Cell Games. Okay, but then Gohan is put into ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

In the Buu Saga Goku also told Gohan to get mad so he could release all his true potential and he wouldn't lose to anyone in the entire world. You do realise Goku and Vegeta's words were just building up to the reveal that Gohan couldn't get anymore meaningful rage boost power-ups? Chapter: 458 (DB...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

The "bad writing" part is Super Hero recycling a bunch of Cell Games imagery with it, but I digress. But at it's core that will always be the issue with Beast, you can't let a genie out of its bottle twice. Toriyama already gave Gohan a transformation which paid off all of his rage boosts...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

The confusion is here: Beerus is not making a statement of fact but asking a question . Whis's answer is an assumption with the word "seems." Let it go man. There are no lines to read between. MUI is Goku's strongest form. Toyo or Toriyama aren't pulling a 4-D Chess gambit on the audience...
