What's so out of control about that? Transformations aren't tiers of power.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

It seems like Toriyama's role is helping everyone get to where they want to go rather than being the one who decides where to go so he simply gave them what they wanted which he even says when the movie was announced.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Indeed. He wrote the script and approved the character designs and thats about it.

Wow! the Budokai 3 intro has come so far. I'm 100% sure this will be executed way better than that trash of Vegetto vs Cumber though.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Bruh. You're using Heroes? Seriously?
Heroes' powerscaling isn't out of control. The Prison Planet characters are based on the DBS characters (they even had their own ToP before the Prison arc).
It isn't at all applicable to the actual story. It is simply a promotional anime/manga and it is absolutely nothing else.

Again, why is this a power levels strength thread?


Anyway, just wondering when we can expect a second trailer. I've heard people mention October?

There's going to be a big movie panel at NYCC next month with Nagamine and Nozawa as part of the DB tour. They'll likely have something there.

It’s all really confusing. There was an anouncement that they’ll show off a trailer at Jump Anime Festa, which is held at late November to early December. It seems way too late to reveal a trailer. I still think that we’re going to see something next month, possibly at New York Comic Con.

In other news, here’s a poster for this one event happening in Japan.

That's not how powerscaling works.

Cumber is a new character, with no preconceived, or pre-established rules on how strong he was or should be. Cumber has the lore surrounding him as an ancient evil Saiyan, possibly in the same era as Yamoshi, a lore whose power levels have been quite ambivalent.

Or else, you might as well have said that BoG powerscaling was out of control when they introduced Beerus & Whis, when before all we had to gauge god ki were the Supreme Kais and they were weak as shit compared to the duo.

I'm not totally convinced the supreme kais have exclusively god ki, since it seems they can be sensed

People misusing "Bad power scaling" with story directions or author decisions they personally don't like.

Power scaling is just comparing how strong one character is to another.

Broly looks absolutely killer in this poster. And I am glad to for once see Freeza again in a way that I like.

I do wonder what the game plan is for taking Broly down.

No matter how it's done, he WILL be defeated. But the question remains what the method will be. Tiring him out? Beating him in a straight fight? Getting a Deus Ex Machina power-up? Making him realize the error of his ways? Many possibilities indeed.

Is it just me, or does it look like they poorly photoshopped Freeza in at the last second?

Kunzait_83 wrote:No matter what twisted pretzel logic you contort yourself into to try and convince yourself otherwise, Raditz landing on Earth is the middle of the fucking story. Zero context, zero setup. Its in NO way meant to be seen as a "beginning point" for ANYTHING other than the next story arc. It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

I don't know. Goku and Vegeta never beat Beerus or Zamasu/Goku Black.
