Re: Theory: Goku and Vegeta already managed to hit Whis, but...

I don't think so. Whis would probably be way too proud of them even being able to slightly scuff him, to want to trivially negate their success like that. Goku's Perfected UI got easily blitzed by Whis' UI so I don't imagine that any of he or Vegeta's lesser forms have been capable of landing a hit ...

Re: Goku's favourite and least favourite fights?

Isn't Goku's enjoyment of fights not tied to how he emotionally feels about his opponent outside of battle? SSJ Goku certainly did relish the idea of fighting 100% Freeza on Namek even though the fate of the universe was at stake, only stopping because Freeza was losing strength as a result of inexp...

Re: Vegeta and Beerus' different ways of using Ultra Ego

I think it would be more simple to say that they use the concept of destruction in different ways. Beerus plays it straight, having used destruction to raise his power and fulfill his role as a Hakaishin to the best of his ability. Meanwhile, Vegeta does use destruction to get stronger but more impo...

Re: Would a complete Cell Max really be stronger as Broly

Why didn't Ginyu have a power level of 90,000 despite possessing Goku's body? The concept of using not just the body, but the mind has been a thing in DB for a long time: If something is preventing the mind from fully connecting with the body's Ki, the energy output will either be lower or in the ca...

Re: What if Masako Nozawa dies? (God forbid)

The role of Bulma has already had to be replaced as a result of her original voice actress, Hiromi Tsuru tragically passing away at only age 57. A few more of the original voice actors such as the ones that voiced the roles of Roshi & Kaio-sama, sadly passed on due to old age and had to be repla...

Re: Did Freeza base his supernova attack on Beerus judgment attack?

Did Freeza ever actually witness Beerus use that exact attack? Because Beerus can destroy planets without even needing to form a massive Ki-ball, a mere tap of the planet's surface or just sneezing is all that's required from him. On a side note, I don't think Freeza is any fanboy of Beerus. He cert...

Re: Which villains could resist Babidi's mind control?

It's my headcanon, but I think the reason why Vegeta resisted Babidi's control is because when offered the opportunity to become stronger, Vegeta had a desire to put it towards a certain purpose...and he was hellbent on achieving that purpose. All of the other minions that Babidi had gathered may ha...

Re: How strong would Bardock need to be to do this to Freeza?

No stronger than he actually was in the main story. The game might initially make it seem like Bardock could've done better if he had simply tried harder and/or had more time, but even it makes the situation clear that Freeza was just toying around and would still end things not long after. Unfortun...

Re: What do you think is the multiplier for Orange Piccolo

I can't really think of a proper multiplier for Orange Piccolo as the only challenge he has faced thus far is Cell Max, and that thing's power fluctuated way too much: between being low enough to be damaged by the fat Base Gotenks, to being somewhere above Orange Piccolo. Any sort of seemingly-even ...

How Would You Have Liked SSJG To Be Improved, If Not As SSJB?

After looking at fanmade art of a possible SSJG2 and SSJG3, it really has me wondering what they could have done with SSJG as opposed to rendering it obsolete by the very next arc via SSJB? What path would you have preferred SSJG to have gone? Personally, I like the idea of SSJG being mastered in th...

Re: Should The U6 Saiyans Have The God Forms...Or SSJ4 ?

It is an different universe. It doesn't have to work exactly as it did with U7 in GT's timeline. Perhaps U6's SSJ4 could be the Saiyans of that universe rediscovering their monkey roots, for example?

Should The U6 Saiyans Have The God Forms...Or SSJ4 ?

Say that a future arc is set on Planet Sadala and we find that Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale have been training hard and each achieved SSJ3 since the ToP, and now they're looking to reach even greater heights. What form should they strive for next? Should it be the same as U7 and they learn SSJG/SSJB? O...

Re: Does Freeza believe he can take Beerus now?

I wouldn't put it past Freeza in merely believing that he can take on Beerus now, but he might be apprehensive about just doing it as he is aware that it might draw immediate attention from Zeno or the Angels; beings that Freeza is either way less sure about crossing or is hoping to never have to fa...

Suppose one of the alternate timelines resulted in there not being just an evil Goku, but evil counterparts to the entire team?

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Given what we learned about Vegito in both versions of the Future Trunks story arc and the Broly movie, it seems fairly consistent now that the base form of Vegito/Gogeta rests at the strongest level of power that the Fusion partners both share. In the case of DBS, it's their shared Super Saiyan Bl...

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...

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?

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...
