Re: Unwatched Movies/Specials

I don't think I've ever seen Path to Power.

It might be the only one I haven't aside from Evolution.

I also don't think I've watched more than three episodes of GT, but I have seen the Goku Jr. Special.

Re: Gotenks is by far the most annoying canon character of the entire franchise

Fusions are inherently obnoxious. I've never seen a fusion(outside Namekian fusion) that isn't overly confident, arrogant, and wastes time showing off how superior they are. Even Vegito and Gogeta have been shown to mess about a whole bunch in battle. Gotenks however is a special kind of obnoxious, ...

Re: Do you think we'll ever see more of the ToP fighters?

Universe 9 with it's crap sack universe and the Trio De Danger were pretty fun, but Bergamo and his brothers roles varied greatly between the anime and the manga. Sadly I can't see them returning though. The Tournament of Power seemed to open up huge future story possibilities but I feel like it's g...

Re: Cutest (not hottest) Dragon Ball character?

Cutest characters? Puar and Upa are pretty damn adorable.

Kid Gohan, Chiaoutzu and even Krillin are all cuter than they have any right to be.

Do you think we'll ever see more of the ToP fighters?

Universe 6 aside I mean as Champa interacts with Beerus a lot and Cabba, Caulifla and Kale are the Universe 7's saiyans students.

Do you think we'll see anything from the other competing universe fighters in future arcs or do you think they're done with entirely?

As of now: buying FighterZ on Switch during the lockdown which has reminded me of how much I love the franchise again.

Re: Whatever Happened To The Concept Of Vegeta Being The Protagonist For Once?

Goku will be the one to take down Moro despite all the build up because that's the status quo. The status quo that everyone working on the franchise won't let go of is easily the biggest thing holding modern DB back from reaching its full potential. Completely agree. The franchise could be far more...

Re: Who is your favourite character?

1. Krillin 2. Yamcha 3. Piccolo 4. Gohan I really like Krillin's growth from the snotty little selfish brat to one of the kindest individuals in the entire series. It's not as prominent and obvious as Piccolo, Tenshinhan or Vegeta, but I ended up liking both personalities a lot and he was consistant...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Just read the chapter.

Goku can't hold Ultra Instinct for long with his stamina... so he's just going to use his stamina to keep activating Ultra Instinct? The stamina that he doesn't have otherwise he could maintain the form?

I'm lost how this makes sense. Have I missed something important here?

Re: What if all Universe 7 Saiyans were revived, together with planet Vegeta?

Not going to lie, the idea of Raditz and Nappa being revived on Earth and utterly confused is going to be very amusing. Even better if they try to kill Piccolo and the Z fighters only to get one shot KO'd. Nappa confidently going after Yamcha only to get casually slammed into the ground by him. Radi...

Re: Out of All the Characters in the Franchise, Does Cell have one of the highest fighting potentials ever?

He'd get pretty far between Frieza's potential and toughness, Piccolo's regeneration and the saiyans frankly insane zenkai boosts, but as stated without a pure heart he can't obtain the SSJ God form...also no one would do the ritual with him let's be real. However, as far as potentials go, I'd say C...

I'll be genuinely surprised if this ever actually happens. Goku will be the one to take down Moro despite all the build up because that's the status quo. Vegeta will almost definitely do something really impressive, he may even briefly outshine Goku, but I can't see it being anyone but Goku actually...

Re: What if Yamcha cheated on Bulma with a GUY.

I am saying this because I am desperately grasping at straws to reconcile the idea that he's a cheater with the fact that he fears women. To be honest this always came off as nonsense. Toriyama just wanted to have Bulma have a saiyan kid and had more contempt for Yamcha than Bulma. Yamcha's shown t...

Re: Is Back Tingling Proper? (and extras)

If you had control over the Tournament of Power, what would you change to make it better for you? Give Krillin and Tenshinhan more screentime before their eventual losses. Roshi got a great moment, I just wish the other Earthlings got that sort of love. Have Krillin be forced to make a decision abo...

What I love about this game, that unlike Tekken for example, it is accesible for casual players from the get go and you can still have tons of fun and full experience... the game starts to be competitive in rating matches, online (I don't count the Arcade Mode on hard, as that is simply rudiculous ...

Because it's a story and despite popular belief the only thing that matters is that the narrative is interesting.

Re: Who is a Mary Sue in Drago Ball.

Not many characters in Dragonball characters come close with only a few exceptions. Old Bardock doesn't even register as his whole story was one of tragedy and inevitably. Future Trunks in Super had some Gary-Stu like moments like how he unlocked SSJ-rage and the genki-dama sword but do to him losi...

Just got the game today(finally) on sale on Switch.

Definitely going to need to practice more. The roster is insanely good w...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I vastly prefer the slice of life character pieces to the Goku and Vegeta vs. a new enemy arcs. I feel we've done all we can do with increasingly stronger villains. Dragonball was far more interesting when every battle wasn't to save the universe from imminent destruction. I don't care about the ent...
