Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Is Piano one of his children? I can't remember, but it seems that most of them are demons themed after medieval fantasy creatures, Piccolo himself reminding me of a goblin.

Re: How did Unseen Trunks get a remote.
There's the possibility that, by training, Trunks has only targeted the androids, since Cell did not show up for certain things to happen. In this branch of the present, where neither future Cell arrives nor his baby self gets killed, the existence of 16 is also at stake due to the fact that he only...

Re: When Have You Ever Actively Rooted for a Villain/Antagonist in the Series?
Canon Broly. I think most of us did to an extent. Obviously he had to be stopped because he was dangerous but I felt really bad when Gogeta attempted to kill him, especially when he started coming down from his rage. It felt like putting down an animal. This. Broly had a moment like Wolverine in th...

MyVisionity, this happened to me before, and I would too advise you to step out. Know where you are. Sometimes we're too engaged with a subject to let things settle in our minds. It's not worth it.

Re: What Kind Of Transformations Could Non-Saiyan Characters Get?
I would like to see Piccolo ask Porunga to take his place in the Namekian dragon balls and then for Gohan to wish his freedom by retaining their power. Piccolo could then be the wish granting Namekian in battle: revive the dead, heal their wounds, restore energy, teleport them, etc. I would like to ...

Alright. You've crossed the line. And what I'll do is simply... Nothing. Perhaps people can expose their topics in a manner that filters out or gathers those with the same interests? I don't know. Just stop replying to me.

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?
Are you saying it will only end when people stop watching? Ha, ha, no. What I'm saying is that Dragon Ball can only continue for as long as there are resources, just like counting or computing with numbers requires them, but since natural numbers can only get big very fast, akin to how Goku and the...

Re: What would make a good ending for the series?
Dragon Ball is just like the natural numbers: you can always define another through induction. For it to end and continue at the same time, Dragon Ball would have to behave like a field closed under multiplication, like the rational numbers between 0 and 1, whose depth only ends when you stop looki...

Re: The Unseen Timeline
Yeah I was just thinking this, the 17 blueprints were in the cell basement so I don't see how he's getting one without the other. But I don't see how he got strong enough to kill the androids and not Cell. I guess Cell could have got to his max first form power like when he owned a Piccolo that cou...

Re: The Unseen Timeline
Thing is, I don't think that's how the timeline system is actually set up, at least not anymore. After the Zamasu arc, the impression I get is that instead of there being a bunch of timelines, the timelines get directly overwritten, even if that doesn't make any sense. So there are only two timelin...

Re: Goku Black coming from Original Future timeline
The guides didn't hold before Super because they got four timelines corrected into three in the update and Super helped clarify which rules Toriyama goes by. Whis stated very clearly that it was Beerus's destruction of Zamasu that created the alternate scenario from which Goku Black came to be in sp...

Re: Should Dragon Ball Have Stopped After Cell?
I don't think so, and the main reason is Gohan, or his sudden change in character. He grew consistently when he was kid, but faded into obscurity by the androids' chapters, and resurged completely different in the Cell Games, because Toriyama's strategy was to set him up through hype, so that he cou...

Re: Goku Black coming from Original Future timeline
In both Dragon Ball and the DBS manga or anime, time travellers do not lead the events up to the point when the conditions are met for their existence (like a loop), but it's because they exist in the present that their changes have to create the historical background from which they departed (akin ...

Re: So what's the fandom's consensus on Grade 3 Trunks being stronger than Perfect Cell?
Goku was clearly more powerful when he used the full extent of Super Saiyan. He came out of the Room of Spirit and Time as a Super Saiyan and then proceeded to power up to half in front of Karin and then all the way up against Cell. It's not a situation where their full power is equal to their previ...

Re: Japanese vs English names
I like some English names which are kept in spirit with what the originals mean and how they fit into their theme. For example, Pui Pui gives me nothing, but Pocus does, because there's Dabra, Bibbidi, Bobbidi and Boo, with the exception of Yakon. There's not many like this one though, and while the...

Re: So what's the fandom's consensus on Grade 3 Trunks being stronger than Perfect Cell?
I think that I was misinterpreted. What I meant to say was that: Super Saiyan 2 > Full Power > Grade 3 > Half Power > Grade 2 > Super Saiyan. Cell's "full power" against Gohan would be half with respect to his near death recovery. Through the latter he may have gained a new state of being ...

Re: So what's the fandom's consensus on Grade 3 Trunks being stronger than Perfect Cell?
There's even a point when Cell decides to show some of his true power in the form of a Grade 2 against Trunks to demotivate him. The secret that he revealed almost instantly put his previous claim to rest. Cell's full power was still beneath that of his power weighted form, since he used the latter ...

Re: does the ritual make SSG far stronger?
The moment Goku said that SSB was the power of SSG in Super Saiyan form is when Battle of Gods' level was reached or surpassed in Resurrection of F. Transforming into Super Saiyan with the power of God still burning in him against Beers was the prototype of SSB. The latter was reached by having Goku...
