That explains that then.

Re: Burdock or Barduck

And here I am wondering why Toriyama sometimes used vegetable names directly (e.g. burdock) and other times did something funky with them (e.g. Kakarot).

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Oh god, it was even dumber than I could have anticipated! I mean let me clarify... A godlike warrior surviving a black hole and blowing up a galaxy sounds epic! It IS epic. And I'm sure it's happened in fiction before. But it still has to make sense! What sense is this? Broly is stronger than human...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

I wasted this time and I'm fully aware of that. I utterly wasted every second I spent writing this. But Broly could conceivably survive, even being next to a black hole. If he stopped himself in the ergosphere before reaching the event horizon, he could escape. I mean, the physics of this are alread...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

I presume Broly and Boo remain trapped in that black hole until the heat death of the universe, and then Broly survives because he hasn't actually aged due to time and space reversing positions inside of the event horizon.

Re: SSJ multipliers change!?

I feel people put WAY too much stock in these rigid multipliers to the point I feel a lot of power level/multiplier arguments could be spun as "the Freeza Force trying to understand Super Saiyan." Especially when the series itself goes out of its way to mock excessive focus on numbers and ...

Re: Can we talk about the Funimation Movie Soundtracks?

I unironically like some of the music, and it does give the movies an "AMV" feel. But by that same token, these songs give the movies a strong AMV feel. If that's really what you want out of them, more power to you. But at least back up and think about it this way: Imagine when they're loc...

I have not followed Super at all, but things that I figured it ought to do to be as fanficcy as possible: - Super Saiyan 5. It can get around this by having Xeno Goku go Super Saiyan 4 + Ultra Instinct https://i.imgur.com/OnY7azX.jpg - Golden Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta ALMOST did this. For whatever stupi...

A white-haired Super Saiyan form as Son Goku's ultimate goal, with Toyotaro on lead?

Re: Was Yamcha at any point stronger than Kuririn?

Should probably also be remembered that Krillin was still a teenager during Dragon Ball, whereas Yamcha was an adult. It stands to reason that Yamcha was physically stronger than Krillin, especially at the start of DB before either trained with Muten Roshi, but it says a good deal that the two were ...

Re: Vegeta's lack of reaction to Cooler in Movie 6

It's a Dragon Ball Z movie from the 90s, anything beyond basic story-telling was beyond what they were trying to achieve with them. Some movies were better than others with it. The chief thing the movies needed was that the fighting had context. When the movies relied too much on the main series or...

Indeed, when you think about it, the movies are where a lot of our perceptions and memes of the series stem from.
