Re: i'm not pissed about super's powerlevels

People who complain about Super’s “power levels” are probably 99% of the time referring to power consistency, not exact mathematical numbers. Z never had any issues with this, even when power levels were not really a thing anymore in the Cell and Buu sagas. Super’s consistency is all over the place....

Re: Piccolo Daimao death (Anime VS Manga)

I didn't like Kuririn's death in the anime. Too overblown, not subtle enough. Felt a bit overdramatic in comparison to other deaths in the series, even in comparison to some or the more dramatic ones like Majin Vegeta and Goku vs Cell. Even in comparison to Ten's death in the anime, it just isn't a...

Re: Who are your favourite DBS characters?

Gohan is my least favorite. He fucking sucks. Lol this is getting pretty hillarious. You really don't like how Gohan is in Super do you? Absolutely. Making him weak destroys his entire character. There is no reason to like him now. He is trash. When GoD Toppo said "trash belongs in the trash c...

What’s bittersweet about it? Everyone was happy and alive in the end, even Freeza.

Re: U6 secondary protagonists?

Yes, I think U6 was definitely the secondary protagonists, especially given how much Universe 7 actually worked alongside them and had relationships with the people in that universe. Technically they're still antagonists as well to our Universe 7, but as a whole I think you can definitely consider t...

Re: Who are your favourite DBS characters?

Beerus and Caulifla are the most interesting characters to me, and I think they're the Super characters that have left the biggest mark on the franchise (aside from Black) since their debut.

Re: Retrospective - Tournament of Power

I like your grading system Lord Beerus , so I'm stealing it, but using numbers instead. Please don't destroy me. Krillin: 6/10 I really enjoyed the episode of him vs Goku, even if it caused a lot of controversy with SSB. He also had a great showing in his episode in the ToP, except all of that build...

Were the movie retellings necessary for Super to survive?

It's no secret that the production behind Super was incredibly rushed, being announced to run only 4 months(?) after RoF, so they took the safe way out and retold the movies, which lasted 7 months*. The first 7 months of the entire show was the movies you already saw, and the animation was way worse...

Best thing: Tournament of Power & Ultra Instinct

Re: With Super over, what are your top 10 episodes

1. Episode 116 This was the fight of the tournament for me, and it's easily the episode of Super I have rewatched the most. While not initially caring for Kefla as a character, this episode almost makes you feel bad for her with how much she gets smacked around. I had my doubts that they would be a...

Alas, DBS is over. I doubt it's coming back. There is A LOT to suggest that it will be back, between the timing of the show ending around the time of the movie announcement (can't have those resources split), the narrator saying they're taking a "brief break", Dragon Ball merchandise proj...

Re: Super Animation Catalogue 2.0

I really thought they couldn't top the animation we saw in 130, but wow, I'm speechless. I can't believe they gave Kitano his own solo episode, and he was able to pull off cuts that would make Shida look like an amateur. Still, the writing on this episode left much to be desired (as usual). Why did ...

Re: How will they fix the writing problem that Super had?

Yes, Beerus explains that it's absorbed, but that's later directly contradicted by him using it again during the tournament with no explanation. Poor writing. Nope. The POWER of SSJG was absorbed into Goku. The FORM of SSJG is still something separate. Thus when Goku loses the form against Beerus, ...

Re: How will they fix the writing problem that Super had?

Beerus explained that his power was "absorbed" and again, that is how his base went from weaker than Namek Freeza to stronger than SSJ3 Gotenks. Goku went from having difficulty in SSJ2 to putting a beating as a SSG, yes this is true, when I say "particularly massive" I mean in ...

Re: How will they fix the writing problem that Super had?

Super Saiyan God was always portrayed as a much larger boost than to Potara. Except SSG Goku gets destroyed by base form Kefla. Once achieving Super Saiyan God Goku absorbed that power and that is how his base form went from being weaker than Namek Freeza to stronger than SSJ3 Gotenks. If he absorb...

Re: How will they fix the writing problem that Super had?

There is a reason why "he was just holding back" has literally become a meme, and it's not because the show itself keeps saying it, it's the fans. Like Doctor. pointed out, fans are left to fill in these holes and gaps in logic and consistency by using excuses like "holding back"...

Re: How did you like the characters introduced in the ToP?

I immensely enjoyed Caulifla and Kale, they're wonderful new additions to the franchise. They're everything Saiyan girls should be (except the horrendous Broly homages and the poor writing allowing Caulifla to get a bunch of transformations in a day). Kefla was fun in 116, but really annoying in 115...
