Re: If your post number were your battle power

I'm moderately stronger than Raditz, huzzah. :cry:
On a more positive note, I'm just above Nail with the Kaio-ken x20, but I would need to do fusion with someone to get anywhere close enough to taking on Freeza's first form.

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Is it possible that the manga & anime depictions of the beam clash are getting mixed up and causing confusion here? The manga clearly shows Cell having the advantage against Gohan's momentary struggle of power flow and nearly winning until Vegeta distracted him, while the anime greatly drew the ...

Re: Who deserves and should to train under their GoD and Angels

Umigame. He has the lowest power level among anyone but he's old & wise enough to understand what the responsibility of having all that power means. Imagine seeing an Umigame from an alternate timeline being Beerus' replacement in SDBH? The attack name of Turtle Destruction Wave would have such ...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

The manga & anime have somewhat different depictions of the beam clash so it would probably be better to just go with the manga, as it is the quicker, simplified version. It's made clear that half of SSJ2 Gohan's power(essentially, his SSJ form) was inferior to SPC, and Perfect Cell as well for ...

Re: Why is Goku bored?

I'm guessing the actual question here is "why does Goku still desire to find challenges against bad guys, as opposed to simply training with & fighting good guys for the rest of his life?" I think Goku just enjoys the thrill of fighting someone who won't hold back against him as a resu...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

If there's one thing the manga should do, is make Cell Max start to take on some of Perfect Cell's physical features to signify it's boost in power as well as to change it up a bit more from the movie. If the fight ends with Cell Max's face starting to shift into the more human-ish look of Perfect C...

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

What if every Saiyan on Planet Vegeta inexplicably & spontaneously transformed into SSJ3 just minutes before Freeza launched his blast at the planet? How would history change if the Saiyans not only did not go extinct, but also had the full potential of the SSJ transformation unleashed?

Re: Where did the idea of Goku getting the heart virus on Yardat came from?

I vaguely remember Yamcha and Chi-Chi saying they'd take the medicine too, so it is infectious. Goku doesn't hang out with his friends that much. Gohan, Piccolo and maybe Chi-Chi were the only ones he saw frequently in the present, so maybe Piccolo is immune and Gohan and Chi-Chi just got lucky? Al...

Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?

Bra probably inherited her mother's genes and looked older than what she actually was. When we first saw Bulma in DB, she could've fooled us all into thinking that she was adult age, especially when she towered in height over Kid Goku and even stood taller than Roshi. Not that it's any reason for ad...

Re: Where did the idea of Goku getting the heart virus on Yardat came from?

On that note it would have probably been a better idea writing-wise for Goku to have come down with some kind of genetic heart disease as opposed to the heart virus. I do think it is very possible that this was the case. It's true that the heart virus was a thing in Trunks' timeline and that people...

Re: Where did the idea of Goku getting the heart virus on Yardat came from?

It's interesting how no one else among the team caught the virus despite frequently being around Goku, implying that the virus was either unique in that it only affected Goku...or it wasn't a virus. It's possible that the medicine that Trunks gave Goku was merely a placebo or had been regulated to b...

Re: Do you think King Cold has the same potential as his son?

He was probably not a 1:1 with his son in terms of potential or the absurdly fast rate of growth that Freeza has, but Cold definitely should have been able to greatly increase his power if he had trained as well. Cold's lifetime of being a tyrant made him more-or-less on par with Freeza's 4th form o...

Dai Kaioshin isn't dead, he's just been transformed into the Good Boo with his original personality remaining dormant most of the time. However, the link with Beerus apparently only accounts for whichever Kaioshin is left to claim the title; and since Shin was the only alive & pure Kaioshin out ...

Goten & Trunks and Jiren: They'd absolutely lose their minds seeing him perfect the look and the act of the stoic superhero, on top of his immense power. I wouldn't be surprised if Goten & Trunks suddenly became Jiren fanboys, starting up their training again to try and make their new idol p...

Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?

That was along time ago And GT is still recognized by the owning company as a sequel to the DBZ anime and is occasionally used in other media. To my knowledge, no one at Shueisha or Toei has stated that we should disregard GT because Super is a series currently having more work done on it or becaus...

Nah that is too much headcannon Toriyama is more involved with super than he is in gt which he had little to do with it ...because Super is more modern and regularly ongoing.

I like to think of GT as a what-if version of the events. What if Beerus never woke up. Definitely not something part of timeline N°7. I feel like it can also be the other way around, in that Super is "what if there were 13 universes, each having a Hakaishin & Angel, a grand ruler overseei...

Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?

In the context of the DBZ anime, GT & Super are both official sequels as Toriyama & Toei came up with the general ideas for each series. They're parallel timelines that split off from the Majin Boo arc, and either one does not hold a greater or 'true' canon status over the other. The fact th...
