Re: The Cell Saga is the most existential in the series
I also agree that Cell arc added unnecessary character traits to Gohan. That last minute drama also strikes me oddly, since he should be a full-fledged warrior by the end of Saiyan arc, killing when necessary without feeling guilty. The only reason his character arc wasn’t finished yet was his inabi...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
So to make a point of their irrelevancy, Freeza picked on the strongest character there which could draw the point home of how outmatched they are. That could be very well the case, but for real this is just one way of interpreting that scene — that Freeza is suggesting Base Gohan is stronger than ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
But Freeza had an accurate view over Gohan's overall power. He knew he could end the army in an instant but was holding back. If he knew what he was capable of if Gohan felt like it, I fail to see why he wouldn't do the same to Piccolo, who was likely fighting more unrestricted than Gohan. Because ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
But the intuition point is to convey that someone's power can be fairly accurately judged even if they aren't using a high effort level. Gohan was likely holding back even more than Piccolo due to his pacifist nature. The fact Freeza singled him out in response to Sorbet disbelief of the army being...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Because Freeza deemed him as the strongest seeing their display when Gohan was on his base state. They were all holding back, but the fact Gohan was still the one who drew attention to him besides the knowledge that they were all going easy shows it's the strongest power there regardless of transfo...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
So it seems more logical for him to be analysing Gohan's base state abilities... And knowing they were all holding back but still choosing one shows some perception of good eyes form identifying the strongest even when the warriors, overall, aren't exerting themselves. I still don’t see how that sc...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Well yeah, but Freeza still places special attention on Gohan without knowing he can transform and knwoing they were all holding back. But the fact that despite the fact he knows holding back is a factor but Gohan picked his interest more, it tells me he had something else there in base alone from ...

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the whole new cell max, gohan beast, orange piccolo etc
I’ve seen a theory those forms have some kind of relationship with Hindu lores, and are even hinted sometimes within Dragon Ball’s own universe. For Piccolo (Hanuman), it would the form of the legendary dragon clan champion, since the dragon balls were supposed to reward Namekian warriors that prove...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
What do you think of my gaps above? Well, if you mean the debate about Base Gohan vs. Piccolo in RoF, I think the movie suggests everyone is holding back immensely, specially Gohan. It’s rather inconclusive if Base Gohan can beat someone above Piccolo’s level. Instead, he resorts to Super Saiyan an...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
It never mentioned any forms for Vegito it just said Vegito when comparing SS4 and Potara Fusion(Vegito) and I agree with Herms take on it, he think its supposed to be a hypothetical GT Vegito and since Goku can use SS3 it's very possible that what's being compared is SS3 GT Vegito and SS4. ??? I’m...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Weird, that may very well be the case, but I always took that scene when reading as Shin thinking the sacred sword is already being used by other than Gohan and kinda being tested and played with haha. Which is kinda related, isn’t? (These Saiyans are treating a sacred object that not even the gods...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
This mostly comes from seeing Goku struggling initially to wield the sword, but as soon as Goku starts swinging it, Shin’s reaction is one of those moments where you can tell “this guy is just too strong for my standards”. Is that an anime thing? Because in the chapter 478 it's Kibito who looks baf...

it's hard to say if it also means Gohan's base form is above Shin in at least physical strength, since Shin never tried to hold the sword. This mostly comes from seeing Goku struggling initially to wield the sword, but as soon as Goku starts swinging it, Shin’s reaction is one of those moments wher...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Who is the strongest character that a hypothetical SSJ3 Vegetto (Z) could defeat in both GT and Super? Since we have nothing to go by, I guess SS4 Goku and SSB Goku, respectively? This seems like a almost logical answer to me, but something feels off. I come from the idea that SS Vegetto was surpas...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I haven't been following the manga much, but has the Super Hero arc ended? Did Goten and Trunks get more spotlight, and did Toyotaro provide a better explanation for Piccolo and Gohan's transformations? It covered pretty much all the movie content, leaving possible future developments for Carmine. ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I'm not aware of anything that puts Gas above the UI avatar. If the wish alone is the basis for it, then he should've been stronger than UI avatar even before he zombified, but he wasn't. The wish still works within the limitations of the fighter. The wish also doesn't necessarily give the fighter ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
What's the evidence for Supreme Kai being weaker than the base saiyans? Base Gohan and Base Goku can lift the heavy z sword, albeit with difficulty. Kibito and Shin can’t. That only speaks for their muscle strength though. Kibito, for example, has combat abilities that can make him a tough fight fo...

Re: The removal of the Power Pole in the Dragon Ball
I seems at least that Dragon Ball Daima will have Goku using the power pole again, but I’m still waiting for him to use it in conjunction with Ultra Instinct. Weapons embedded or made by spiritual energy are very common in the franchise. Very classical examples are Krillin’s kienzan and Vegetto’s ki...
