Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Goku can still match GoDs with blue just like how freeza could beat sides with gold which means he isn't too far behind beerus. Freeza barely managed to catch a tiny portion of Sidra’s energy of destruction. He can’t beat Sidra or any God of Destruction. Goku can’t either, not without Ultra Instinc...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Beerus is a 10 while whis is a 15 according to Toriyama. That was retconned (and only applies to the Z movie version). I'm talking about generally how much stronger the Angels are compared to the Hakaishin. How can something Toriyama came up with be "retconned" unless he did so himself? W...

Re: Dragon Ball's depiction of evil in its villains: actually more true to real life?
Indeed, Anime and manga in general has a very bad habit of being overly sympathetic to it's villains despite the fact that they are horrific mass-murderers because they have tragic back-story or the overrated value of moral ambiguity. (Masashi Kishimoto and Yoshihiro Togashi are two of the biggest ...

Does anyone else think the Moro saga could have the perfect opportunity for Piccolo to be relevant again?

Re: Is Toriyama lazy?
A lot of the narrative elements in the franchise) stem from Toriyama being lazy or convenient (Goku's core characterization, SSJ's hair color, many of the abilities like flight, much of the character design, tails disappearing after the Saiyan arc, etc.) according to the man himself.

Re: The base Saiyajins in the Boo saga
1. Goku (who's only ever seen & fought Final Form Freeza) himself said that base Goten & base Trunks could easily beat Abo & Cado and nobody disagreed. 2. The series made it clear that Gohan even before unlocking SSJ2 was the strongest Saiyan in the Cell Games. He was the only character...

Re: Should the Z-fighters split up after the Broly movie?
No, because they are boring and uninteresting. I'd rather see them go to U6 and train with the new superior saiyans. I feel like U6 Saiyans are the boring ones. If we never saw them again I’d be happy. But unrelated to what you said, I don’t want Freeza to do anything. Toriyama and Toei slowly addi...

Re: The base Saiyajins in the Boo saga
snip 1. The "Yo! Son Goku And Friends Return" argument is pretty weak. Abo & Cado were both said to have surpassed Freeza, yet Goten & Kid Trunks (both of whom are weaker than Goku, Vegeta & Gohan) were able to stomp Abo & Cado in just their Base forms. This means that all...

It's easily Zamasu, with Freeza at 2nd place.

Re: Should the Z-fighters split up after the Broly movie?
Many people in the fandom are tired of DB being "The Goku show, featuring Vegeta" and want ALL of the recurring fighters to get important roles and arcs for themselves. One way this could be done is that when Super comes back to TV, have the Z-crew split up and travel to the other Univers...
