Re: Do you want a spin-off about Gohan?

Only if he's a Super-Hero again. I was really only interested in him during the filler episodes when he was a kid or the filler episodes when he was in high school. It would have to be slice-of-life-ish like DBS: Super Hero and have to have a lot of Piccolo, Pan, Videl, Satan, Krillin and & 18. ...

Re: Does DBS really blatantly copy tropes this much?

I will say this much about DBS, though, each ending was unexpected. U6: Monaka winning. FT arc: Goku hiding under mommy's skirt and calling Zeno to beat the bully, and the heroes actually losing. ToP: Goku teaming up with fucking Freeza and the android that wanted to kill him, to win and save us al...

Re: On An inherent Level, Does Ki Gain Vigor & Rise In Response To Higher levels Of Ki Being Introduced?

Some of it is imagination too though. A really strong person shows up and shows everyone that it's possible to break current limits. Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Frieza, Trunks, Androids, Buu, Beerus, Frieza again and other universes all showed that it was possible to break current limits and sparked thei...

Re: On An inherent Level, Does Ki Gain Vigor & Rise In Response To Higher levels Of Ki Being Introduced?

I started to think zenkais worked like this to headcanon my way around the namek era boosts. I can see it working like that in general though as a sort of survival mechanism. It seems like all races may have this ability inately but that the Saiyans have a boosted form of it. Out of universe, we all...

Re: Do you think Orange Piccolo Could have beaten Cell Max if he wanted to?

But if I'm being honest, if can't stop thinking about what could have been for my favorite Character. It just would have been so amazing to see Piccolo defeat Cell Max and be the big hero, to get his huge Cinematic moment of a Dramatic finish. So I really really hope there will be another chance fo...

Re: Do you think Orange Piccolo Could have beaten Cell Max if he wanted to?

In the movie as we got it, no, I don't think he would have defeated Cell Max one on one. If he was fresh he's probably 75% - 80% of Cell Max's power, at least the injured one we saw in the movie. Funny enough, a friend of mine recontextualized the ending for me after we went to watch it. He pointed ...

Re: Namekian Absorption: How Influential Are They to Changing their Personalities?

It might be headcanon but I think that Goku's naive purity had more of an impact on Piccolo's personality than any fusion with other Nameks had. Goku just has some enigmatic effect on others that makes them desire to change even if they never had or felt any reason to so before. It's due to a wish ...

Re: Let's talk about the Movies Continuity for the Millionth time (DB/Z Only)

Really they just wanted Goku and Vegeta to be the stars of the movie and didn't want Piccolo to overshadow them. Piccolo should also be stronger than them in movie 7 as well. To be honest, Piccolo was doing pretty well in Movie 7. He even managed to grab and hold off Super Android 13, who was unmov...

Re: Characters Being Called Out Much More Often.

Right after Moro was finally defeated, Krillin should have drop kicked Goku in the face. No you call him out the first time for giving an enemy a senzu. Second time he does it, make sure he's so drained of energy that he can't even summon basic super saiyan: then kick his ass. Bravo! This is great....

Re: Could Goku learn the shapeshifting technique?

I don't think Goku really needs it. He can already Megaman people's attacks just by looking at them. Transforming would just be for aesthetic purposes at the level he fights. He does like trolling, so maybe he could use it to tease or trick one of his serious opponents, like Jiren. I would like to s...

Re: Didn't like the movie doggin' my boy Krillin

Power creep is a thing in just about any anime, Krillin simply got Power creeped like Neji did in Naruto Shippuden, and that's okay. Krillin is weak but it wouldn't make any sense otherwise Still mad that we never got to see him truly cut loose in Shippuden. He was my favorite. You'd think they'd h...

I think so. The decisions they make tend to effect the entire world - the universe even.

Re: How do you feel about DBS retroactively saying "Beerus did it"?

I mean with regards to events from the original run. I think it feels kind of forced, and a cheap way to hype up Beerus, which really wasn't necessary as he's an intimidating presence without that. Him being the one to seal Elder Kai in the Z Sword is weird, because the latter originally implied it...

As someone who is starting to view the cast as dysfunctional and terrifying as the Greek gods, I would definitely find some catharsis in this. But I don't see it changing anything. It would just elicit a "you're damn right" from people like me. Imagine these fools lording this much power a...
