Re: Gohan's Childhood

I like to think his response and stance during the Cell Games was a culmination of all those years. He finally realized, "holy shit... I don't like any of this. Why do I have to do this? Why can't my life just be normal?" It was just poorly built up, as was his transition to a complete ma...

Gohan's Childhood

Turning away from the superficiality of the manga and looking at Gohan's childhood, he was lucky to be so sane.I would call it impossible. The moment Raditz showed up his life was a nightmare. Take into account he was a spoiled and sheltered child. Saiyan Arc (Raditz) - He's kidnapped and hurt, phys...

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion

How is that "important stuff"? We know what Vegeta becoming Super Saiyan God looked like -- the same way it did for Goku. Having him show up in that form tells us all we need to know. The manga did the same thing after Super Saiyan first shows up too, Gohan at the Cell Games notwithstandi...

It should be closer to the latter, he did tank a galick gun. I have him at 7,5%.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion

Do you guys think they will show Vegeta becoming a SSJG, Goku and Vegeta becoming SSGSS for the first time and Freeza's ultimate training? They better do it! BoG hadn't many chances for changes, but you can't skip important stuff like that. In FnF the excuse was the length of a movie, here you can'...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Comedy/Gags Discussion

It depends. I think the two biggest examples we can use to debate are the Pilaf gang and the chef Vegeta scene. I agree that the Pilaf gang was completely misused in Super so far, and they're probably in the series because they were in Battle of Gods. They just were used for padding and haven't bee...

Dragon Ball Super: Comedy/Gags Discussion

I think it deserves it's own thread, it's the roots of Dragon Ball and we've had a fare amount so far in the series. Personally the retelling has been weaker in this aspect compared with the movie; specially the misuse of Pilaf and his gang. Could a mod please move this thread to the Super forum? Th...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread

It was showing constant drops until it's first place. I think it will place between 4th and 7th until the BoG arc ends.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Regarding the Fish, were the soldiers caught off-guard? I remember when Goku finished Recoome, Burta and Jheese thought he only did it because the other lowered his guard.

Re: Dragon Ball references in other shows

In Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei there's an episode where the characters do the fusion dance.

There's many more I must have saw and heard, I just can't remember. Dragon Ball is very influential.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Power Level Discussion Thread

By keeping up I mean not lagging immensely behind. They were always at striking distance, the gaps got wider but Kuririn and the others were always acknowledged by Goku. Until Namek were it got silly, maybe also the Saiyan Saga, but Goku had Kaio's training which benefit him greatly above the other...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Power Level Discussion Thread

I'd say humans have limits. I doubt they can ever keep up with people like Goku and Vegeta, or even try to compare to Piccolo. They kept with them until Namek by following the same training. But then Zenkais, SSJ and Namekian assimilation created a huge gap. Until eventually we see the humans give ...

Yes, not of human nor every other race. Evidence suggests there's no limit for how strong one can be, so everyone can always grow in strength. Potential is unlimited, for everyone. The difference is that some are geniuses(ex: Goku and Vegeta), which makes them have faster gains and others, are not,...

You're doing the same. Calling everything I say ridiculous, so much that it doesn't even need justification. Again, that's no argument. Plus you're reducing it to a extreme case "Mr. Briefs and Whis", to further diminish my point. Telling my views are so silly they don't deserve answer is...

The growing in frequency: "Gohan is a weakling" type posts. The joke got old fast, it's out of proportion from just one movie. It get's annoying with the frequency and how people extrapolate even the slightest thing, to have another opportunity to say "Gohan is weaker than_________(fi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Power Level Discussion Thread

Real life has plenty to do with it. After all, humans, Saiyans, Earth, the universe, four-limbed creatures, science etc. is all based on real life! If everyone has the same potential then who cares about Pan? Her potential is the same as Mr. Satan's and Mr. Briefs's. Why the sarcasm? The real-life ...
