Re: Would you classify the Buu as a symbiote?

Are you confusing DBS with DB Multiverse by any chance? Because people do not get "digested" by Boo and then fade away in the official series like they do in Salagir's fanfic. Dai Kaioshin still very much exists physically in Boo but merely lies dormant. I'm only familiar with the anime c...

Re: Is There Any Noticeable Difference Between A Power Level of 1,000,000 and 1,000,001?

Someone with a PL of 2 is twice as powerful as someone with a PL of one. That's a big difference, and easy to predict the winner of a fight.

1,000,000 vs. 1,000,001 is no significant difference. Fight could easily go either way.

Re: Would you classify the Buu as a symbiote?

By definition, a symbiote is two organisms that join together for mutual benefit.

Whoever Buu absorbs, gets no benefit from the situation. They sit around, inert, inside Buu. After some undisclosed time, they are completely digested, and cease to exist (Grand Supreme Kai).

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

Y'all think Bardock is coming back? I think Bardock is coming back. Next chapter, we'll certainly get a flashback of Bardock sparing Grano-mom and her offspring, if not outright saving them from the other Saiyans. But I don't think it will end there. Hearing the tale will spark something in Goku, a ...

Re: Do you think there will be a Goku VS Superman movie in the future?

With Disney owning movies rights if anything a Goku vs Insert Marvel character here movie seems more likely. Probably Spider-man or Wolverine I don't think Disney own the movie rights to Dragon Ball. Fox has distribution rights to new DB movies. (This is a holdover from the deal to produce Evolutio...

There are no answers in canon, so you can do whatever you want, without contradicting anything.

Who knows how the wish will turn out, but how strong is Granolah anyway? He easily wipes out a whole squad of 73-type androids, who are stated to have been updated to be equivalent to the original. So that would make Granolah hella powerful. But then, he gets owned by one of the Heeter gang. And the...

Hey OP,

I hope you had fun typing all that. Hopefully it helped you work out some issues. Now, show us on the doll where Funi touched you.

I still prefer the dub. Sorry, not sorry.

Re: So is Tarble now non-canonical?

Tarble is mentioned in two movies that, unlike the older crop of movies, are in continuity. That makes him "canon," even if he's never actually appeared again. A far more egregious case of "out of sight, out of mind" is Tights. Bulma has been a main character since the very begin...

Re: So is Tarble now non-canonical?

I'm not much for canon debates. The franchise has always had a "made-up-on-the-fly" quality to it that precludes there being any true canon that doesn't ignore massive swaths of story from various media. Regarding author comments: I don't consider something "true" just because th...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?

A lot of fans were quick to embrace nonsense like Yamoshi and S-cells, as a display of fealty to the mighty Toriyama. Just Saiyan. Will this be a step too far? By the time the movie comes out, I doubt it. The reason this trailer is such an info dump is a pragmatic one: Let the fans get used to it. L...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?

It's always been fairly well accepted that while the movies aren't canon, the Bardock and Trunks specials are (they don't contradict anything, and Toriyama apparently "liked" them). It's just a lesson: This fanbase has been obsessed with "canon" for as long as I can remember. But...

Re: Why does it seem that Gogeta has way more fans than Vegetto?

I think fans carried the torch for Gogeta for two reasons. One, power counts for a lot, and SS4 Gogeta was top dog pre-Super. Second, until the Potara retcon, Vegito was a permanent fusion. So Gogeta was much more likely to appear again someday.

Re: Why didn't Roshi train to prepare for the Saiyans?

In the Saiyan Saga, Roshi believed he had reached his limit. In the intervening years, he saw the others (particularly Goku) surpass their own limits time and again. So he realized he was wrong, and resumed training. This is explicitly stated during the ToP. It's not a retcon, a plothole, or inconsi...

I know this is just a short promotional throwaway, but I hope we get some explanation of who Cumber is, where he comes from, and how he can be so absurdly strong (fighting on par with SSB Kaioken Vegito in base?).
