Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

Re: Furuya's private life should not impact his professional relationships. This is a huge misconception. Certain actions, especially those involving abuse and coercion, transcend the private sphere and directly affect public and professional life. When a public figure, like a voice actor, admits to...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Grand Kaioshin capabilities are a bit confusing in Super though. When he fought Moro at full power, he had no means of beating him without sealing his magic and sacrificing most of his god power in the process. Despite that, Oob didn’t inherit 100% of his god power and was able to feed Goku with eno...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

I don’t see any issue with thinking that Grand Kaioshin could be the strongest among the five Kaioshins based on the level of his importance, but the original dialogue [at least going by Herms’ translation] does suggest he is being considered among the five Kaioshins with whom South Kaioshin was bei...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Goku and co. are stronger than Beerus but haven't noticed because Beerus is gaslighting them. That's how I'm gonna take it now. That's honestly how I've liked to see it, too. Not to say they're way stronger or anything, either. This thought has been around my mind recently, considering Beerus seeme...

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

The effectiveness of fusion is not determined by its origins but rather by the individuals involved. Dragon Ball is all about challenging this idea that some beings are superior to others. Proof of that comes from Elder Kaioshin interactions. Chapter: 479 (DBZ 285), P10.1-5 Context: Elder Kaioshin e...

Gohan needs to get serious to bypass Goku’s ultra instinct speed. He wouldn’t need to go that far against Piccolo, given the large gap between them. If Piccolo somehow rivals Goku, one would assume it would be a level below what Goku showed against Gohan.

Re: What do you think is the multiplier for Orange Piccolo

Based on their second match, Piccolo probably doesn’t need more than twice his unleashed power to surpass Gamma #2. So maybe 2-fold? I’ve been thinking perhaps this estimate was too low, considering Orange Piccolo might be stronger than Gas, but hundreds still seems too much for me, if it’s coming ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

It's fascinating how this perspective strays from the essence of the original manga. In many Western storytelling traditions, there's this notion that only those born with special gifts can rise to the top, as if fate has already set their path. However, Goku, as envisioned by Toriyama, challenges t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I think the scenes following Gohan vs. Broly were made without the intent of faithfully represent real strength implications. It was intentionally conceived as a light moment, so that in the end all the Saiyans would have a great time.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

How strong are we granting current SS3 Gotenks? Assuming he scales similarly to his Boo arc self, he shouldn't even reach God Goku yet. Are we willing to grant the kids some leeway and assume the fusion boost gets bigger as they become adults? Even assuming so, I'd still wager they're below current...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

The “turn into dust” version of the technique won’t work unless the target is immobilized or let the user lock on them. None is simply tanking that, like it’s not supposed to be tanked in the first place, much like Dabra’s saliva. Beerus had to grab Zamasu to not let him escape. In the anime, Goku e...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I also think it gotta be a miscoloring. The Base Saiyans’ aura is usually represented in a shade of golden yellow. This can be observed in various chapters, including flashbacks featuring Bardock. An interesting case is that Gohan possesses this same color aura in all of his forms, with the exceptio...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

It’s important to note that Toriyama's involvement in crafting the dialogue for the Broly movie and his contributions to the original draft and additional elements of the Tournament of Power arc demonstrate his direct influence on the storytelling, as his vision shapes the character interactions and...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

While it's true that Toriyama didn't explicitly state that Broly is stronger than Beerus, it's also important to consider the context and narrative implications of Goku's perspective. While Goku may not have witnessed Beerus' full power, and that’s debatable, it doesn't necessarily mean he's complet...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

While plans may have evolved since 2018, dismissing the significance of the Broly movie dialogue overlooks its narrative impact within the Dragon Ball Super series. Regarding Broly's strength compared to Beerus, whether Goku saw Beerus in full action against other Gods of Destruction is speculative,...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

With all due respect to Beerus, this notion isn’t new. Toei and Toyotaro have already worked with the idea that Beerus was surpassed in ToP arc. And Toriyama as well in the first Super movie, by providing the dialogue implying so. You have to go out of your way to ignore dialogue and other implicati...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

That’s the whole point. The conflict being his own personal reasons for not using his full power, the solution being control. Until he figures out how to better use his power, he won’t be considered stronger than Goku, Beerus or any of the foes that came into play after he went berserk.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

There lies the problem. You claimed last post Broly was stronger than Beerus now you are saying it was implied. You corrected yourself. Not seeing the issue here. The implication hasn’t changed: the Broly from the movie is probably stronger than Beerus. It’s not wrong to make such a claim. I just f...

Gohan was the “controlled berserker”. Broly was more like Gohan when he is not in that “controlled berserker” level.
