Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

This sole image shows more interaction between Pan and Bra than the entire franchise ever did. And I'm here for this. Hopefully there are more new interactions and new stuff.

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?

Don't forget that he spent several years in the RoSaT, though. 782 - 737 might be equal to 45, but Goku is a few years older than that. I don't forget, I just don't take any of that detail into consideration. Toriyama doesn't consider it either, otherwise he wouldn't have said Gohan was sixteen in ...

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?

Now, instead of Goku being born in 737, the same year that Planet Vegeta is destroyed, he was apparently born in 734. So now he's no longer 12 at the start of Dragon Ball, but 15??? Typical mistake one could expect from wiki. I'm actually more surprised wiki is even used in 2024... Anyway, Vegeta's...

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball would have worked better if Goku died on Namek?

Maybe, although I'm not sure if Goku knew about that at that point. And when Gohan tells Cell about it, no one was listening (well, other than Piccolo). Be that as it may, as I already said, the point still stands.

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball would have worked better if Goku died on Namek?

But "build tension" to whom, exactly? To the characters? To the audience? Perhaps both? If it's the middle, then you must realize the possibility of "building tension" may have cheap results. You often see the senzu bean situation being brought up as an example and there's someth...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Hey, finally one of these characters profile contained some unexpected info. I didn't expect they would know about Toriyama's possible name for Bulma's mother. I'm yet to see them mentioning something that comes from a guidebook.

They should. So far it wasn't revealed anything interesting (and it's almost a year since its announcement), so... The least they can do is add certain special characters like those ones.

Well, well, well. Xenoverse and now this game tackling a little bit that part of the series, huh. That's what I like to see. I'm not expecting this one to receive the same treatment Trunks DLC did, but if somehow it gets (and it should because otherwise it'd be a pretty short and devoid of content D...

I know Toriyama is famous for being lazy and forgetful... but the people saying this HAVE NO IDEA how had it is to do a manga on weekly shonen jump. YOU HAVE to do a 15 page minumum comic EACH WEEK. I know he cuts corners but HE IS NOT LAZY. I mean sure once he stopped he said "NEVER AGAIN&quo...

Re: The timeline of.... timelines.

Doesn't the Gokus age confusion come about due to the 3 years in an incubator thing? I guess so, though no confusion should occur. Changing Goku's birth year that much would obviously cause problems. But by changing to AGE 736 (if you think Goku spent full three years in an incubator), you will jus...

Re: The timeline of.... timelines.

There are a lot of stuff wrong, but I'm going to point out the most egregious one. The one that if you get wrong, you get everything else wrong: • Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman takes place ten years before the beginning of Dragon Ball. So if the beginning of Dragon Ball occurs in AGE 749, then Jaco, ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Pretty sure Gohan thinks so.

Gohan's line has nothing to do with power level, he just didn't want Goku's energy to be eaten. As you said, he says that after learning Yakon eats energy.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

I don't see how Base Goku could defeat Dabra if couldn't even defeat Yakon without Super Saiyan. Seems too far-fetched. Then go back and read the chapter again. The only reason Goku transformed into Super Saiyan was to provide light, and upon learning Yakon feeds on it, he just gave that. And consi...

Yeah, not saying that Saiyans don’t get stronger the more they fight strong opponents by other means, but fundamentally the largest power-ups until the battle with Freeza in the manga were seen in zenkais, like Vegeta was explaining to Dodoria in the panels you linked. And by getting stronger as th...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

From my perspective, for some people it seems this is only a matter of finding unbelievable that Goku couldn’t muster leapfrogging gains in those 16 years, when most of those gains that came before were from near-death-power-ups. The other gains were only seen in transformations and fusions. And th...

Yeah and not to mention that Beerus' examining Goku's body could be taken as him comparing it to what he saw in Whis' crystal ball, so since he noticed different body features by examining Goku's body (perhaps it's the 3rd point you raised, in which case I'll be just repeating it, my bad), it didn'...
