Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?

SSJ2 has always come off as a fairly optimized form. There's no strain or restrictions on it and it has a lot of power. I do think that there may be some strain on it, albeit not to the crazy extent of SSJ3. While Goku & Majin Vegeta were still engaged in their big fight, their SSJ2 energy outp...

Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?

I suppose it is possible, the issue is that it's pointless given that there are several transformations superior in every aspect to SSJ2 & SSJ3. After BoG came out, Toriyama stated that SSJ2 & SSJ3 were merely power-upgraded variants of SSJ and that Goku(and by extension, everyone else) wasn...

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

What if Freeza was in Super Hero? The SH movie doesn't follow the manga, so no Black Freeza. Well, if Freeza isn't in a fighting role, he'll probably just be doing his usual shtick of inquiring from his minions about the latest interplanetary affairs and if any potential worlds are up for grabs.

Re: Should the anime come back?

Given the year now, I'm more thinking of the dreaded day in which the Japanese voice cast have to retire because they're really starting to get up there in age. DB has been on air since February 1986 and they've already lost a few voice actors due to age & health complications. Toei certainly co...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Why exactly is Gohan Beast's hair white? Is it supposed to be like a reference to SSJ5 since Toyotaro has history with DBAF? Is Beast supposed to serve the role of a canonized SSJ5 and that's why Gohan's power jumps so radically? I can't really find any justification for why Gohan is so strong aside...

Re: I feel bad but god, Gowasu was really blind.

As overlooking as he might've been prior to the zero mortal plan was enacted, Gowasu's most clueless moment in the whole situation was when he tried to appeal to Black in giving up his plan and offer him a path at redemption. With how far all of Zamasu's iterations had gone with their plan by that p...

Is Cell Max Stronger Than Broly?

I am not at all aware if the team behind DBS: Superhero took the manga into consideration when hyping Cell Max out to be stronger than Goku & Vegeta. However, they likely at least used DBS: Broly as a reference as it was another anime production, so would that mean Cell Max is stronger than Brol...

Re: How do Freeza Force soldiers learn to fly?

Earthlings seem to be an outlier in comparison to many other inhabitants across U7. Namekians can use Ki innately. The Saiyans could. The Yardrats got a more specialized usage of Ki in the form of spirit control. Freeza's race appears to be particularly proficient with Ki. Various races of humanoids...

Re: Someone today tried to argue DBZ Buuhan and up are stronger than Beerus

Why exactly start a thread about some misinformed person on the internet posting a misinformed opinion on Boohan's strength? I don't mean to sound snarky or rude, but this would probably be better suited in the non-thread worthy discussion.

Re: What Can A Tournament Of Power Part II Offer?

Another ToP doesn't necessarily have to be a free for all battle with strict rules, that was just the format set by Daishinkan to keep the fighters within the Zeno Twins' line of sight. Moreover, the result of what happens to the losing universes doesn't have to erasure either, it can actually be so...

Re: Would Buu able to copy UI or Hakai?

I imagine Boo could copy UI but it wouldn't be on the same level as Goku's or that of the Angels' level. It would probably be on par with Roshi's UI-knockoff, UI Sign, or Moro's attempt at stealing and utilizing Merus' UI. It's a technique that gets better based on the personal growth of the individ...

What Can A Tournament Of Power Part II Offer?

Even though a wider multiverse exists, the only attempt at exploring it thus far been through SDBH so I am wondering if we won't see the characters from other universes again until there is another multiversal tournament. If that is true, what might we or what would you like to to see if the twin Ze...

Re: Is Jiren really still a big deal?

It's not so much how strong Jiren was now, rather it was the lasting impact that he had on Goku & Vegeta. When you think about it, there wasn't much about Jiren that set him apart from any other fighter when it came to simple training. However, Jiren knew how to mentally make the absolute most o...

Re: How close are the humans to Ultra Instinct?

Pretty far away. Goku didn't exactly learn UI through simple training. He first needed to undergo a ritual to harness the power of the Gods and spent a few years fine-tuning his control over God Ki through a couple transformations and an improved state. Next, Goku required motivation by Roshi to tra...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

The last chapter I can say that I personally felt genuine hype about was the Vegeta vs Raichi fight but after that, I think that's when the decline in quality began. The "jump the shark" moment though was definitely the Majin Rebellion arc. At this point, I'm only reading now to see the co...

Re: Cell Max Genetic Makeup?

I finally took the time to watch the whole film today and Hedo did say something about Cell Max having grown cells in his make up so...maybe he's a true organic-machine hybrid? A hard, mechanical endoskeleton with flesh grown over it to complete the hybridization. It's also worth noting that Cell Ma...

Re: Is The Silver-Haired Ultra Instinct still potentially the strongest form we've seen yet?

Wasn't the giant aspect of Perfected UI just Goku's God Ki taking the form of a giant and not actually part of the technique of UI? He only used it after being greatly supplied with God Ki and/or in a manner of desperation. It seems to be that Goku should be able to figure it out without the use of ...

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

IMO, Goten & Trunks are really just not interesting enough to want me to see them become substantial fighters in the series. Even back in the Boo arc, I don't think they were ever intended to be the new generation of the Z Senshi, as they were children who just happened to like fighting as a pla...

It really feels like this first chapter should've been the second chapter.

What we got here is basically just a flashback to the ...
