Kanzenshuu

The reason why manga version of this arc stomps anime version is because all of the trash fighters lose quickly so we can focus on what we really want instead of watching 25 episodes of U7 fighting with bugs, waifus and robots. (although Ribrianne could've lasted slightly longer in manga) This just...

With this episode I've kind of pinned down that they really like the wacky oddball humor side of Dragonball, but they don't like it when it undermines the dramatic moments and they think they should be separated in tone. I kinda agree, really.

I find the skip to "many hours later" to be fairly humorous. Did Buu shoo him to the back of the line to take his proper go?

I agree with everything else, though God Ki didn't have to be a mistake and had the potential to be interesting until they actually went in the direction they went. As it is, I consider it a mistake. In a show where the battles partly are the story, power scaling remains important (not in silly over...

What's interesting is that besides people giving energy willingly, the Genki Dama was already stated to take energy from the animals, plants, and even rocks, but clearly it's weaker than Moro's magic, because he takes so much that it kills living things and is able to draw massive amounts of ki just...

Because poison is a message. Cynicism isn't the same as nothingness.

We've seen energy stealing before from Yakon and the Androids, but we've never seen anyone using energy steal on such a mastered level before. So Moro has OP Lvl.100 energy stealing in the same way that Goku and Vegeta have OP Lvl.100 fighting power. The energy drain is a nice touch but please let h...

So from the perspective Tavarano is promoting, is Dragonball a secretly cynical work or a secretly nihilist work? Stuff from Toriyama about their being "no message" clearly conflicts with other stuff from Toriyama about "poison", or maybe we have to just take this one level up, a...

What makes you think that? They love the humor the most in DBZ. I feel like they have trouble getting used to the different tone in the Buu saga, compared to the rest of Z. And I'd argue that tonally Dragon Ball is a lot more like the Buu Saga, than the rest of Z, don't you think? Yeah but if you'v...

Sigh....

It's weird because there are tons of english speakers who would be willing to correct the translations for free.

they're incapable of busting the Earth even though they're both as strong as Hakaishin in raw might. In Dragonball attacks can get stronger without blowing up more stuff. I wouldn't use real world reasoning. An attack from Gogeta that only creates a 10 meter wide explosion is vastly more lethal tha...

The thing about those two reasons are that they are placed there to prevent Goku from defeating Buu. If ssj3 couldn't handle Buu on it's own there would be no reason to place weakness on the form. In the three times ssj3 confronts Buu a new weakness is created to prevent the person from killing Buu...

Toriyama makes two statements in the manga that FP ssj3 would have beat Buu and neither are contradicted seems open and shut to me But isn't the question whether Goku could go full power? Wouldn't he have used up all his time on Earth considering he was already burning through it super fast just pl...

Something I just noticed while re-reading through a small bit of the Buu Arc (Chapters 442 and 443): So, while they're at the Tournament, Videl is getting destroyed by Spopovich, which causes Gohan to rage out and become a Super Saiyan next to all of the other fighters (destroying his bandana in th...

Molten lava's temperatures are too extreme for anything to survive short of having an insulator protecting you and only being in momentary contact with the substance. Piccolo Daimou's flesh and muscles would quickly carbonise before he even realises where he is. Best case scenario for him is that h...

To take this further, if Goku and Vegeta were totally out of character and teamed up then Goku could have taught Vegeta Kaioken. The point is: Vegeta with only the powerlevel of 18,000 from his first appearance could boost up past first form Frieza with Oozaru using Kaioken x4, which would be 720,00...

With the way the story went there's nothing he could have done. If you allow for the same power he was then but a somewhat altered scenario then there is a small chance to beat Frieza without Super Saiyan. The only way a Goku of that power could beat Frieza would be if A: he had the Dragonballs wish...

If in an alternate reality of Dragon Ball , the Turtle Hermit had thrown the Electric Rice Cooker housing the likes of the infamous Piccolo Daimaō into a pit full of lava, would Piccolo Daimaō have survived? It would have melted the container freeing Piccolo from whatever dimension is inside, and t...

I just want to reiterate how glad I am this is coming back.

Cell's absorption is non-linear at least, because absorbing all of those humans took him from being weaker than Piccolo to being on par with Android 16, but it can't be that non-linear otherwise there'd be no point absorbing the Androids in the first place. It's either Cell is being dumb (villains a...
