Re: New movie announced for December 2018!
I'm excited for what potential possibilities can be explored. Heck, I want this film to have a primary focus on the past with the Yamoshi stuff and still succeed massively despite Goku and co. not being the main character, if only to show that it is indeed possible to the doubters in this thread. No...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
You know, the Tournament of Power has done a lot to help justify some of the more inconsistent fight showings throughout the anime's run by specifically pointing out the martial arts know-how behind how a fight actually works, and then translating that into the traditional power-slugfest scene. For...

Re: What is the problem with Goku using Super Saiyan God in the anime?
Honestly, I feel that the anime would've been fine if they hadn't brought back SSG. They didn't do so for every other instance that Toyotaro utilized the form in his manga adaptation, and I liked how it set itself apart like that. Think about it: SSG's role can be and has been fulfilled by the other...

Re: What is the problem with Goku using Super Saiyan God in the anime?
I said it before, but I'll say it again: I think it's mostly the timing. Unlike regular SS, nobody expected SSG to return once SSB was introduced. But then, Toyotaro did it anyways, and thus seeded an expectation that wasn't fulfilled in the anime until long after we'd gotten so used to it not retur...

Re: Has Vegeta been a good character as of recently? I think not.
^That is what I'm talking about. People treat Vegeta as though he's entirely literal and idiotic, failing to realize that he's already learned his lesson and that he's mostly just boastful and cocky like pretty much ALL proud pure-blooded Saiyans are, especially one hailing from his heritage. Goku I...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I'd say that Bullza has the right idea to a degree. I also utilize both mediums to an extent when powerscaling, but not for rigid identical levels. Instead, I use them concurrently to gauge where certain characters and/or forms are meant to fit in among each other. For example, everyone disagrees on...

Re: What is the problem with Goku using Super Saiyan God in the anime?
I'd say people's problem with its reintroduction, at least around these parts, is the fact that it occurred so late into the anime's run. Toyotaro had reintroduced the form as early as Hit's fight with Goku in the tournament between Universes 6 and 7 in the manga. But the anime has gone on for its e...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Another episode focused on technique and combat skill than power levels, though the exchange between Vegeta and Katopesla should at least provide some decent fuel for the fire. Katopesla got over 300 times stronger than his previous self which was 300 times stronger than his normal self, but SS Vege...

Re: Super Episode 119 (10 December 2017)
A pretty inoffensive episode for me, not much more.
Some good strategy all around, though I will admit that it feels like an appetizer to the bigger events to come.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
But Super Saiyan Rose Black was enormously more powerful than Super Saiyan Berserk Kale. Zamasu was about Super Saiyan 2 level so should have been similar to Super Saiyan 2 Caulifla. So Merged Zamasu should have been far more powerful than Kefla. Yet he wasn't that far above Super Saiyan Blue Goku ...

Re: Has Vegeta been a good character as of recently? I think not.
Honestly, I'm against most of the folks here (as usual, really). I really like Vegeta's character. He's arrogant and cocky, but shows off his softer side in nice and funny ways. He talks big, but that's just because he's EARNED his big talk thanks to the massive catching up he did to Goku in recent ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Initial Merged Zamasu isn't that strong because of Future Zamasu. Remember that when Shin and Kibito fused they were still weaker than SS2 Vegeta. And Elder Kaioshin also supposedly didn't grow much in power and potentially got WEAKER after fusing with that witch millions of years ago. Potara Fusio...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
It could also be that Merged Zamasu's fusion wasn't a perfect fusion like Vegito or Kefla, so its boost wasn't too high. For example, Kibitoshin ended up being, well......... yeah. Maybe Zamasu didn't add as much to the fusion as Goku Black did because he was a Kaioshin. He made the fusion permanent...

Re: The original Super Saiyan revealed!
And why exactly would that be? Why would being gentle increase your S-Cells when the Saiyan biology is wired to fighting and respond to self-preservation? It sounds arbitrary. How does anger awaken that intense power when its contradicting pacifism? Calmness and gentleness aren't inherently the sam...

Re: The original Super Saiyan revealed!
I've seen people say that the whole idea of S-Cells being produced more is contradictory to the whole point of Saiyans and only a justification for Universe 6 Saiyans. I disagree. Personally, I find the notion to be somewhat poetic in a sense. Despite being immense warriors that constantly battle, t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I think what makes things much harder is that fights aren't predicated on "pure DBZ power", as I like to refer to it as. Fighters can exchange blows and pit their moves against each other irregardless of power level with some notable exceptions, and "clean hits" has replaced &quo...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Let us remember that SSB is also 50x SSG, this was confirmed scaling via Kefla once again. Well, that one also depends. Some people, including myself, are of the opinion that SS Kefla was equivalent or greater than SSB Goku with Kaio-ken. Which level, we don't know. Could be 2x, 10x, possibly even ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The way I've been looking at the whole "Potara vs. SSG" shebang is that the ritual boosted Goku far beyond what Vegito was capable of......... at the time. But by acclimating to that power and making it his own, he closed the gap. The power of SSG that he attained didn't change, but Goku d...

Re: Goku's Stamina In Battle: A Deeper Look At Self Improvement
This is probably why Goku is so popular with the core Japanese audience (from what I've seen and interpreted, I could be wrong). He epitomizes the two extremes that they hold so dearly in real life and in fiction: hard work and pure fun. He's childish, naive, and pretty thickheaded with regards to e...
