Re: Would You Rather?

Being incarnated as a Saiyan whom I generally don't care for versus being sent to the future for a battle against one of the most sadistically powerful villains to date as a meagre human trained by Gohan and Piccolo... I would likely end my own life in a kamikaze gesture during the latter scenario, ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

So the Future Trunks ended in practically the same manner that the anime ended it. Zeno destroyed Future Trunks' universe, killing the immortal (Merged) Zamasu, Future Omni King is taken to Present Omni King and then Future Trunks and Future Mai time-travel to another universe. Did I get that right...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I'm in agreement with the people who are saying that Zamasu's last moment cowardice kind of besmirches the memory of his character. I preferred the self-righteous martyr in the anime who shed tears because he was believing himself to be shouldering the impurities of the world and the failures of the...

Re: What are you expectations for Piccolo in the tournament?

Some implications have #18 performing admirably against Frost. If that's true then Piccolo should be much stronger by comparison. So I think it would be reasonable to assume Piccolo would be strong enough to handle himself against any competitor who isn't part of the topmost tier of the tournament. ...

Re: Should Frieza have an heroic moment?

The closest thing to a "heroic" moment from Freeza would be attacking the competitor who is causing difficulty for the Saiyan under the pretext of no one except himself being allowed to defeat Goku; then proceeding to torture said contestant in any manner he can if possible. Freeza is not ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Is there any sliver of hope that the recent ending for the show may allude to a potential secondary protagonist role for Gohan? I mean in the context of him playing a significant role in the final conflict à la Goku and Vegeta against Kid Buu or Goku and Piccolo against Raditz.

Re: The 3 main fights at the end will be....

I'm sorry, since when did ethnological genetics singularly determine a person's plateau? Is the insinuation that the Saiyan species, with their moniker for being inherently primed for combat, grounds to assert they have no limits whatsoever themselves? It's strange how out of untold dozens, if not h...

Re: The 3 main fights at the end will be....

Could never? By who's criterion did you base that assessment? These characters' respective strengths are dictated by the whims and needs of Toyotaro and the anime studio. Any uppermost threshold has always been shattered if the willingness to do so was there. It's why you have the elite of Freeza's ...

Re: The 3 main fights at the end will be....

I see no reason for Piccolo to not be capable of reaching Hit's level if the studio and Toyotaro had incentive to allow it. We already have a precedent of him being trained by a deity in the past, King Kai. Some lessons provided by Whis could easily make him viable again. Would he be on par with the...

Re: Do you find it weird U7 is getting almost all the eliminations?

Seventy contestants from seven respective factional universes and yet all but one of the eliminations have been carried out by a member of Universe 7. You're right, it doesn't make sense. Much of the competition should have already been eliminated behind the scenes by other teams. It's only been a f...

Re: Freeza - gone for good?

Re: Zamasu's view at the GoD?

I believe Zamasu's line on the matter of his view of the gods was something the lines of "you would have disagreed with what I was doing and tried to stop me". His subsequent proclamation of only one god needing to exist may have just been his way of repudiating Gowasu and Kaioshin persona...

It has a predictable outcome with a similar setup to all of the other occasions where a previously big powerhouse is faced with the present arc's major powerhouse.

Re: Potential Unleashed: Form or Powerup?

Elder Kaioshin's variant of the technique and the method of how Gohan harnessed the power makes it seem like a form instead of just a power increase. Others like the Chonshinsui and the Grand Elder's technique are not left to interpretation since the characters consistently retain the power without ...

Re: 18 seems rather observant of Frieza in the Tournament saga

I'm sure #18 must harbour some animosity towards Freeza for murdering the love of her life. Besides the inherent distrust towards a creature who would not hesitate to slit your throat if he wasn't being kept on a short leash, Freeza hasn't proven himself to be a team player in the slightest. Team U7...

Re: Would two years have been enough to face the Saiyans?

The question wouldn't be if they win or not, but rather how many casualties it takes and whether they can do it without Goku's help. You're effectively more than doubling the amount of preparation all of the cast is being given. Assuming the gains remain the consistent, Chaozu on his own could likel...
