Re: Can Saiyans survive in space?

Short answer: no, not really. === Long Answer: Vegeta died in RoF because he couldn't survive in space, not the planet's explosion itself, and all instances of Saiyans supposedly surviving in space were either filler or explained to be thin atmosphere. === Yes, I don't like it either. If they could ...

Re: Official Unofficial "Dragon Ball Super" Power Level Discussion Thread

Goku using SSJ blue and suppressing it down to Kuririn’s levels is equivalent of using a superluminal spaceship to cover a distance of a mere 100 metres while supressing its speed down to bicycle speed levels! And that while even using a jet plane (SSJ) would be a complete overkill for the purpose ...

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?

Not to mention Blue put strain on your body, Goku was in very bad form after tournament, why would he put himself in danger like that? Goku was in bad form because he used the SSBKKx10 not because he used Blue. Blue putting strain on your body is a manga thing only. That's right. They specifically ...

Re: Official Unofficial "Dragon Ball Super" Power Level Discussion Thread

I'm liking the powerscaling. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan are looking to be high Buu-Saga levels of power in base form. Honestly, I just like the idea of a strong base and by extension Super Saiyan forms, and then god level. Keeps things simple whilst allowing our heroes to make significant gains. Intere...

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?

I'd say that the biggest factor in increasing the value of skill is the fact that IT'S A BATTLE ROYAL OF THE AGES HOLY SH*T I'M STILL SO EXCITED! It's gonna be absolutely bonkers, with 80 fighters on a single ring, all with varying abilities, skills, and power levels. The chaos can be taken advantag...

Re: The Inconsistency Rationalization Thread

Nice one.

I've heard about the confusion about Gohan at that point in the series around here when I was lurking as a pre-member individual.

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?

You know, everything about the setup for the Universal Survival Arc screams of Toriyama and Toei doing their damnedest to subvert all prior expectations about what the franchise means as a shonen fighting series, basically taking all of the "powerscaling" stereotypes that permeated the fan...

Re: Official Unofficial "Dragon Ball Super" Power Level Discussion Thread

I'm just wondering where Piccolo's at. He's been training with Gohan for a few years at this point, managing to get the boy up to actually giving his dad a good spar as a Super Saiyan. Would Piccolo be equal to base Gohan, or has he surpassed him in base again? I ask because we see that Piccolo got ...

The Inconsistency Rationalization Thread

After going through other threads regarding this touchy subject, I had an idea. My approach to Dragon Ball nowadays when I see a possible inconsistency is to first look for any and all established precedence, creative intent, in-universe statements, contextual cues, etc. If I've exhausted all of tha...

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?

I guess when it really comes down to it, I hate unfounded hatred. Even if it's not unfounded, I just find the constant bemoaning and grievances to be tiresome, ESPECIALLY when such people jump down the throats of those who earnestly don't understand what the fuss is about. I try to respect the serie...

I apologize for coming off as a "Care Bear", as I've heard the term coined before. Don't get me wrong, I realize there are issues and inconsistencies. I just get confused when it seems like people conflate them with a lack of quality and/or care. I absolutely DESPISE anything that seems li...

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?

I guess what I'm trying to say is......... Why do people take these inconsistencies so badly? I genuinely can't understand how a person could react so negatively, especially since we often get contextual cues and character motives to give context to the supposed inconsistencies I hear people talking...

I'm telling you guys with the way Super is heading now, by the end of this series we have Yamcha fighting on par with the Grand Priest! Mark my words. I'd be fine with it, because it'd be rife with comedic material. Just because I enjoyed how episode 84 handled the martial arts aspects doesn't mean...

Re: How strong is Base Goku?

I tend to analyze the anime in a vacuum, only using previous material to establish the baseline the series started off with, then going on from there.

I think you guys should to. Don't use the rules from previous material for anything beyond a baseline.

Re: How strong is Base Goku?

I try to work with what's said and implied in the series. For example, the implication currently and with the narration and character dialogue indicates that SSB is how Goku and Vegeta surpassed SSG, such as the narrator and Z-Warriors commenting on the fact when Goku first transformed into it again...

The thing is most of those arguments, are completely ignored. Can't even recall the number of "Did you know Goku likely held back?" comments. Yes people literally knew that...and yet that point is repeated like some users are idiots who never thought of that. No shit they know, and it's n...

You know, I think the general idea of the thread misses some crucial points. I defend the anime's inconsistencies greatly. Why? Because the people who go about deconstructing and criticizing them never do so with any regard to the feelings of others, always with insults, bile, and general negativity...
