Re: Do you think Full powered SSJ unlocks/increases potentia

I'm just catching up to what I missed all of those years, when discussing Dragon Ball was popular on the net, without actually being part of or as in-depth as the community that existed. In other words, I've just recently re-discovered Dragon Ball.

Re: Do you think Full powered SSJ unlocks/increases potentia

Without strain, they can unlock more power, when it deformed and slowed them down before. Notice that they were stated to be regular SSJ as well, before they increased their power. It could be more than 50x when their mind is set for battle, and they release suppression.

Didn't SIC Radical have DB Kai at one point? I wonder why the entirity of it hasn't been dubbed already.

Re: Lack of source material behind Dragon Ball Super

I disagree with Dragon Ball Super lacking in terms of great moments. It's just that a majority of it was told through BoG and RoF, and the fact that production values are lacking in comparison makes it all seem worthless. However, we had Gotenks appearing to fight, Ginyu coming back, Gohan's near de...

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread

Here's a description of the Saiyans' battle ever since it started: Earthlings vs the Saibamen Tenshinhan - 1'830 - a decent power level to start with, which is enough to defeat the Saibaman, who dies at the hands of Vegeta. Saibaman - 1'200 -> 732 -> 0 - after losing his battle against Tenshinhan, V...

Re: Plot Holes

The argument is that they must not have had a strength increase, but were able to tap onto more power by going all out. Akira Toriyama has said that there is a limit to one's strength, and that power should increase, like FP SSJ Goku thought that it would make up for needlessly toughening their body.

Re: Plot Holes

I don't actually see the problem with tapping onto more power without locking it in a new form. It's like accelerating a car without changing gears, which makes it waste gas, like Vegeta has quickly reverted. Nobody had noticed Vegeta before the rage boost either, specially when he had fought Beerus...

Re: Plot Holes

He has swung the same sword at base that took SSJ Gohan a few tries to master. If anything, Gohan was playing catch up to him, and then got his power unlocked. Goku used SSJ3 against Buutenks, which is enough for him to get used to it, and fought some more as Vegetto, well after surviving Buuhan. Th...

Re: Plot Holes

Can't we simplify things? Yes, the Buu saga has ended with Goku being the strongest, because he fought the toughest battle against Kid Buu, while Gohan was standing on Earth waiting for it to be finished. How likely it is for someone who doesn't fight to be the strongest? Saiyans, humans and even Na...

Re: DB and DBZ: Parts vs Whole

The original Dragon Ball anime is still watchable, although we could use an official and international uncut version. Could you explain what you mean by that? Do you think the original Dragon Ball should get the Kai treatment? If Kai is a Director's Cut, then by Uncut I mean the original product, h...

Re: DB and DBZ: Parts vs Whole

The best Dragon Ball RPG that I played, Attack of the Saiyans, used the Tournament as a starting point for the Saiyan arc. However, this tournament was not a set up like the one preceding the Babidi saga was, so we'd have to go through an ending nonetheless. I think that Dragon Ball Kai has done a g...

Re: How would you adapt terminology?

Likewise, what I suggested towards Majin Boo wasn't an adaptation, but a concept change. Two different things, regardless of translation.

Re: training for base to = SSJ without magic discussion

SSJ4 said about the same thing, so it's relative to a time or event, like SSJ Goku could have been 50 times stronger in Namek. Gohan used SSJ as a shortcut to his full power against Captain Ginyu though, but if you tread back a few sagas, you know that whatever power Gohan claimed to himself through...

Re: training for base to = SSJ without magic discussion

Perhaps Gohan needs to be stronger at base for his SSJ to surpass the Ultimate state, as if it were a threshold of power that changes with training, instead of a multiplier. It would be something along these lines, in mathematical notation: Boost = Max(Ultimate, SSJ * Power) / Power More power at ba...

Re: training for base to = SSJ without magic discussion

You want to explain GT Kid Goku, don't you? :P I think there's always something above, like a forced increase, which is a stepping stone for the natural state that needs a forced increase, and so on.

Re: Plot Holes

It's still illogical when we're told by Kibitoshin that it was specifically Dai Kaioushin that affected him negatively I'll play the role of a guy who sticks to the manga with the blinders on to everything else, and now I agree with you. We don't need to make a different rule of power for Dai Kaios...

Re: Plot Holes

Goku suggested a rather noticeable power decrease when Buu went from South Kaioushin Buu to Pure Buu, which supports what Kibitoshin indicated in that only the Dai Kaioushin actually negatively influenced Buu. South Kaioushin didn't affect him any way other than normal (form change and a power incr...

Re: How would you adapt terminology?

Majin Boo could have been Boo-jinn, as the Boo genie. Since Bibidi and Bobidi are magic words, Boo would finish them with a wish. I would have called Freeza's clan "The Cold Blooded", although I don't know what the Japanese name would be.

Re: Plot Holes

So therefore you're of the opinion that it is something like this: Fat Boo: 250 Evil Boo: 300 Ultimate Gohan: 350 SSJ3 Goku: 400 Boohan: 350 + 300 = 650 Pure Boo: 700 SSJ3 Goku(100%): 750 ^Where is the logic in this?
