Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Assuming the anime or anime-associated guides aren't taken into account at all, I put it like this. Super Boo is triple the strength of SSJ3 Goku, if Goku's fear of taking him on even with Vegeta's help is any indication, and if he is able to challenge SSJ3 Gotenks for a bit. Boohan is around two an...

Was Perfect Cell's Buff Form Him Growing Stronger...Our Simply Growing In Size?

Piccolo revealed in the latest film that his Ki doesn't actually increase when he grows larger so if we factor that into Perfect Cell going 'buff' to try and kill SSJ2 Gohan, did Cell(in a moment of blind rage) make another mistake by growing bigger rather than stronger in the manner of using Piccol...

Re: What's stopping UE Vegeta from getting unlimited power from getting beaten up all day?

Vegeta might consider some viability in such a method of getting stronger, but his pride simply wouldn't allow himself to go through with it. Even after Vegeta let himself go wild in battle with his newfound power and push it to it's limit, he ultimately chose to fight with discretion, with Vegeta e...

Re: Is anime Kid Buu stronger than Vegito?

Goku also holds his own against Gotenks Buu in the anime. I took the time to watch it over, Goku didn't really hold his own. The best Goku managed was gaining a few seconds to charge up a Ki blast while Bootenks' back was turned and blast him some 40 feet away. Bootenks immediately demonstrated tha...

Re: Is anime Kid Buu stronger than Vegito?

Let's say Pure Boo was the strongest, what reason did he have to repeatedly hold back against Goku but decided to book it against Vegeta & Fat Boo? What sense does that make? Why hold back against the strongest guy but get more serious with the weaker opponents? Why even take the time to fight a...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

In the end, I think we all knew that Goku was going to be the one to go up against XXI in the finals. It just would have gone against DB tradition for Goku to legitimately lose in a tournament before it got to the final round. I'm not sure what exactly Salagir has planned for the next and then final...

Re: Is anime Kid Buu stronger than Vegito?

If Pure Boo was stronger than Vegetto, Goku would also have to have been stronger than Vegetto in order to damage Pure Boo so much. Has there ever been an instance of a character surpassing their respective fusion from doing absolutely nothing? Because Goku had no time to train or receive some poten...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

Put yourself in the mind of a Toei employee in 1997. After the studio had spent 11 years working on an anime series that produced hundreds of episodes, a dozen and a half films, partial work on additional media, and some noncanon promotions, you kinda might be in total despair upon believing that yo...

Re: Which Grandfather would Gohan like more?

You know, given that Bardock has had a gradual heel-face turn since 2011, Gohan might not find him to be so bad. Compared to how he was first depicted all the way back in 1990, Bardock is almost a different character. He might still be a Saiyan warrior but he's changed to also being a family man tha...

Re: Mai's age

Perhaps the Pilaf Gang are aging a little faster than normal as a result of having been biologically-older before? That could also explain why Bulma looks older at the EoZ despite having been using the DBs to make herself look younger(and potentially why SSJ4 Goku in GT transforms back into an adult...

Re: Can the Super Dragon Ball revive people that have been dead for a long time?

They very well should be able to. The Zeno Twins reinforced the statement that no wish is beyond Super Shenron's ability, if their word isn't reliable then I don't know what is. It could be as easily explained as the previous lives of souls being able to return so as long as something from their pas...

Say that a run of the mill earthling witnessed the strength of the team during the events of the current arc, and was able to gather the DBs to then summon Shenron for the purpose of wishing to be strong like them. If the wish was along the lines of "I wish to have absolutely any & all unse...

Re: Would 17's wish restore Zamasu's faith in mortals?

Unfortunately, Zamasu is not the kind of villain who would accept redemption i.e Darth Vader turning back into Anakin Skywalker. Zamasu had a burning god complex, believing himself absolutely divine, pure, and 'clean'. In his eyes, mortals were a parasitic scourge that made the planets & univers...

Re: Moro arc vs Granolah arc

I think the Moro arc was better simply due to the fact that Goku & Vegeta got pushed farther(physically & mentally) than they did in the later arc, Moro being a better villain than Gas & Elec could dream of, and the great opportunity to see the rest of the team play a part in whatever wa...

Re: Did Baby increase Vegeta's strength or did he just gave him extra abilities?

It's probably a case of Baby needing a few test runs to draw out the best in his host body, that and Vegeta was the 2nd strongest fighter in the team with potential that was still mostly untapped judging by his later boost with SSJ4. If Baby couldn't have Goku's body, Vegeta's was certainly the next...

Re: Is it possible for fusions to fuse?

Possibly but not likely for a potential reason. With the confirmation of the anime that fusion creates a warrior "several tens of times stronger" than the individual fusees, it could mathematically create quite a broken fighter if fusions were able to just fuse on top of each other and mul...

Zeno far surpasses Beerus so it's a solid "no" even from his own series. There's also Super Shenron and potentially Zalama who are not Angels but still stand above the Hakaishin. Any creator god/eldritch-demon-god-that-rules-over-or-destroys-everything from other Shonen series are more tha...
