Kanzenshuu

I'll buy the manga argument that they are FTL (for very short journeys apparently), because those things obviously didn't take ages, but if the anime shows a beam going to the moon in seconds, it also shows beams going slow enough for us to see all the time, so using it to show exactly how fast they...

If it says that despite his huge size he's so fast, it doesn't mean that he actually got faster for sure, but it certainly means at minimum that he didn't slow down like you'd expect. As an aside: Vegeta also lost power when creating the moon, so he wasn't at 10x 18,000 = 180,000. Considering his b...

WTF!!! Gyumao is 4 Meters tall!! Damn that's tall. It sounds kind of accurate to how it looks... for a change. It never ceases to amaze me how weirdly Japanese fiction seems to treat weight and height. In Pokemon, a giant rock monster snake at 8.8 meters long, Onix, is listed at a far too low weigh...

Maybe he knows that Dragonballs can't make you immortal. We never saw anyone get that wish outside of the... Dead Zone (?) movie, anyway.

Is Yajirobe the most randomly powerful character in the series? A completely lazy guy who is afraid of people stronger than him is stronger than loads of previously appearing martial artists who have trained hard for years and have personality types that seek out challenge, and he's even a fatso! It...

Wait. So there's a Dragonball Arale and a Dr Slump Arale? It seems like the databooks imply that if they say Dr Slump takes place in an alternate universe, but then the books also have Penguin Village on a DB world map.

Buu could be just that hard to destroy, since you have to erase his ki. Perhaps Gohan wouldn't have been able to beat Super Buu either even though he's stronger than him. Super Vegetto was the only one who demonstrated that he could annihilate a piece of Buu completely, and he's the strongest charac...

These are used outside "the South". They are even used in England, in the North East! Different intonation, of course.

A very powerful attack engulfing him from someone on the same level is enough to finish him, shown by Gohan being a little bit stronger and vaporizing him. Since suppressed Cell said that Trunks had far surpassed him at that time, then he should be able to destroy him if it's just a charged ki attac...

Yeah, I mean why was the statement added? Characters can be wrong, but usually the author is trying to point something out that is true if they don't then show that the character is mistaken. That's pretty standard story telling. If Beerus was wrong, it would just be random.

When did Mary Sue just mean "a ridiculously strong original character"?

I thought a Mary Sue was about being a perfect character who has no character flaws.

He thought he was loads stronger as a cyborg and his new power would easily beat Goku.

Hmm. You could be right. Kaioshin could just be that bad at sensing stuff. It makes him look really bad. Dabura could be rubbish too which is why he can't gauge the trios strength correctly. Maybe this also means that the whole scene where he leaves the three strongest alive is just Dabura guessing ...

I would have called practice training, so I think we are getting a bit semantic here. Most people think he didn't increase his battlepower by many many multiples, but I'm sure that he developed his techniques, and he may have increased his strength over time. I can imagine him taking practicing his ...

I was thinking about the Yakon scene and and what it means for this topic. That's a big part that makes people think something changed even before the Toriyama comment. The Beerus comment is a little in conflict with that reading. How can base Goku be at 60 if he's able to contend with Yakon? There'...

Otherwise, you're saying that the energy just disappears for no reason. Where did all the energy go when Chiaotzu detonated? A sphere the size of the moon was not created. Or Vegeta for that matter - the planet didn't blow up. It's hard to believe that someone is suppressing energy that is vaporizi...

I think Malik has improved a lot with that with each update. More panels in the past were copies than now.

That and he's excited by a fight.

That's totally excellent, but is the panel of Gogeta going "HAA!" unchanged just out of interest?
