Re: So at this point, who the hell is even left for Gohan to have an epic fight against?

I could say the same of Freeza. They've stacked the deck too far in Universe 7's favour, they have all these ridiculously strong fighters and hardly anyone from the other 70 to match them. It's why I reckon Freeza should be the one fighting Kefla. I'm still holding out hope that Gohan will play a ro...

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

The moment she was revealed, we had to know that statue was going to be Kefla. They picked a neutral silhouette because people would have known right away it was a Saiyan otherwise. Still surprised there's Hit but no Jiren. They have a Jiren in the line already for another set. I guess. It's just s...

Re: Could you see Early DBS Vegito Impressing Beerus?(To not destroy earth)

It wasn't just Super Saiyan God Goku being strong enough to fight Beerus that impressed him. It was bigger than that; the potential Goku showed, the way he adapted to the god power and his acceptance of defeat. Beerus wanted a rival, Goku showed he could be that rival, even if it would take a while....

Re: Would Cell have accepted a ring out?

For all his talk of wanting a challenge, Cell showed himself to be a hypocrite when Gohan transformed. He may have Saiyan cells, but there's plenty of Freeza in there as well. Had Goku rung him out, he would have just ignored it. I mean, both of them were going pretty far from the ring as it was. It...

Re: What do you guys think about Kafla?

Her intro showed a lot of promise that 115 didn't fully deliver on. I don't have a problem with her personality being mostly Caulifla since she's the dominant of the two and it's hard to imagine how you can hybridise the personalities of such drastically different people. Especially since the last t...

Re: A Unsettling and Unique thing about UI...

It seems to be an unconscious state of mind for Goku at this point. He was basically walking dead when it triggered the first time, and I notice in the most recent episode Champa pointed out that he seemed groggy right before he activated it. It could be that it's something he can only tap into in a...

Re: The 1 year anniversary of Episode 66

It was a spectacular episode, watching it was what got me really invested in Super. There are some classic moments in it that I still go back to watch on a semi-regular basis. Zamasu's epic "SON GOOOKUUUU"*, Trunks getting the kill and Vegetto's big fight. I know a few aspects of the episo...

Re: Super Episode 115 (12 November 2017)

As someone who likes episodes focused on Goku, and who also likes episodes focused on Kale and Caulifla, and the interactions between them, I think I've figured out why this episode drew the line for me on as much as I'm willing to take. I could get invested in 113 and 114 because the idea was that ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Sarah Wiedenheft is the actor lending her voice to this delightful abomination. Great casting choice, she makes him sound cute and just a bit creepy as well. I love the lines too. Lots of short, simple sentences. Very childlike.

Re: Super Episode 115 (12 November 2017)

Pretty average episode. If 113 was the setup for 114, then this was the setup for 116, except without the character moments that made 113 enjoyable. Good musical cues. I wasn't expecting to get a reprise of Ultimate Battle so soon, even if it was just instrumental. Shame they saved it for the most r...

Re: People are always talking about the flaws of the ToP arc, so let's talk about its strengths

I have some issues with the arc overall, but on the whole the Tournament of Power has hooked me in like no other arc in Super. Before we get to the positives, I'll just say my two biggest criticisms with the arc (lack of tension and failure to follow through on some of the bolder ideas) are both thi...

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

So when do we get *the moment* with Jiren? You know the one. Reaction shots from supporting cast. Wide shot of him meditating. Cut to closeup of the face. Extreme closeup on his eye. Eye opens. Bam.

I'm thinking either next episode preview for 115, or at the very end of 116.

Re: Isn't it time for a new opening ?

It's a fantastic intro, I am absolutely down with sticking with it as long as possible. Could do with some updated visuals like what Chouzetsu Dynamic did per arc. Feels weird to see Goku still punching out Bergamo every week when Bergamo is currently dust to the cosmic wind. That said, if we get an...

Re: Fighting Fatigue

Some of the more mediocre eps feel like that. The best ones are the ones that use the action to inform character development. 99, 103, 105, 107, 110 and 112-114 have pulled this off reasonably well. And you know, for all the shit 106 gets (much of it deserved), it was a break from the usual endless ...

Re: Tournament of Power is a major let down

People so angry about Kale and Caulifa's power creep shouldn't forget the fact that Future Trunks had even more of a ass pull power up. Vegeta isn't that far behind with the BS ass pull skipping SSJ3 and SSJG all the way to SSJB, or Frieza training for 4 months to get to God level. It's the nature ...

Comments on this episode: - If potara fusion is allowed, how come Universe 6 is the only one that tried it? And how come they didn't give the earrings to Hit? He's their strongest fighter after all. Imagine if he fused with Kale or Botamo - Jiren would be in trouble. Okay episode but not great thou...

Re: Dragon Ball Super's writing - a thought experiment

I'd say the way Super presents it's fights compared to Z has the effect of closing up the previously ridiculous gaps, but keeping the rough "order" of power in check. Outside of a few anomalies like 17 being a lot stronger and Tien seemingly being a lot weaker, how strong each character is...
