Unpopular DB opinions

[Soppa Saia People]

Super 13 is stronger than Perfect Cell.

I have evidence.

Prove it.

I think he was joking.

I actually liked the board game aspect of the Budokai 2 video game.

Eh. It was decent not as good as Budokai 1 or 3's story mode.

[Doctor.]

I think the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai is easily the worst tournament and probably one of the worst arc in the series, tied with the Cell arc for that spot.

[Hellspawn28]

22nd Tenkaichi Budokai did kinda suck. It was nowhere as good as the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai in my opinion.

[fadeddreams5]

22nd Tenkaichi highlights: Tien's character arc as a whole, Jackie Chun lecturing Tien as they fought, Goku fighting Krillin to Mezase Tenkaichi as the BGM, Tien breaking Yamcha's leg, Chaiotzu actually doing something, the final battle between Goku and Tien, and the ending, where Krillin is mysteriously murdered.

The 21st was overall more comical, but also memorable because of that.

They're a tie to me. =P

[Doctor.]

I don't think Tenshinhan is an interesting character, I thought the fights were all pretty boring and fairly rushed, the final fight was one of the worst main fights of an arc, since Goku had the upper-hand the entire time (and lost because of pure luck, extremely lame). Only highlight to me is Roshi's character arc being closed and the "ending" (which I consider a part of the Daimao arc, not the 22nd TB).

Honestly, I vaguely remember the fights of that arc, whereas the ones in the first and final tournaments are still pretty fresh in my mind (I haven't seen any in about the same time), so that says a lot. =P

I like Tien. But then, I'm a sucker for the stoic, strong guys. <3

The 22nd tournament was excellent. Tien, the rivalry with the Crane hermit, Krillin Vs. Chiaotzu, Jackie Chun stepping down to Tien, Yamcha Vs. Tien was great, etc.

[Hellspawn28]

-The original Dragon Ball is better than Dragon Ball Z.

That's not a unpopular opinion since I seen many people that say DB is better than DBZ critically speaking. I think casual American fans will say DBZ is the best, but I notice DB is rank second best by causal fans here in the US. GT is still view the least favorite. I think Super will be put in the middle of DB and GT by most causal fans when it's finished airing.

Is that an unpopular opinion? I don't think there is a lot of dislike for that arc.

Anyway, I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I think Super Saiyan 3 looks dumb. Also, I dislike the whole idea of multi-tiered transformations. Super Saiyan 2 was fine when it was just he manifestation of Gohan's dormant power, but when it just became something any Saiyan can achieve with enough training, I sorta checked out.

I agree, but from what I've seen a lot of people don't like it much at all, which is probably part of the reason why it wasn't included in the Budokai HD collection. I thought it was something a little different and while it could be annoying at times, I found it oddly charming.

[Hellspawn28]

Namco Bandai said that most people didn't seem to enjoy Budokai 2 over B1 and B3 which is why it's not added. I remember I try to replay Budokai 2 and I end up turning it off after 15 minutes.

Yeah, as a matter of fact during my Budokai marathon it was the only one I didn't really bother unlocking everything. I just used the glitch to get everything after like 73%.

[AS_Saiyan]

Unpopular opinion? I guess I have some...
- I like DB's comic and characters more than the fights. As much as the fight are great the Toriyama jokes are what actually got me into the show.
- I think Chi Chi is a great character, probably because she acts just like my mom, just in a more exaggerated way of course. Because of that I can really understand her motives, and don't see her as the "worst character ever who ruin other characters"
Aaaaand, that's it for now

Maybe this has been said already, but I actually enjoyed Dragonball more than I enjoyed Dragonball Z. I know that statement would make heads turn, but its just how I feel.

Its back when humans were relevant, and the fight scenes involved much more strategy and techniques. Don't get me wrong, DBZ had some incredible fights (my favorite being Piccolo vs 17), but many of the fights in DBZ involved one fighter totally outclassing the other or too much of an emphasis on powering up.

Characters such as Mercenary Tao, Master Mutaito, Tien, Android 8, Nam, and King Chappa intrigued me. Too bad their characters weren't developed at all as the series progressed, some of these characters had potential.

I never got the "characters were more useful before" praise about Dragon Ball. Everyone besides Goku was useless in the RRA and Piccolo Daimao arcs, just like in most arcs in Z. And they were only "useful" in the other arcs (besides the first one) because they were tournament arcs where every character had a set amount of screen time.

Bulma helps Goku get the DB in the Pirate Cave and useful isn't relegated to helping defeat the bad guy. Goku wouldn't have been able to defeat Piccolo Daimao had it not been for Yajirobe and it's likely that he might have died had Tenshinhan not helped him, he might not have survived Piccolo's giant blast that destroyed King Castle.

Humans were the main bad guys in the RRA Arc, something that could never be said about DBZ. During the Piccolo Daimo Arc other characters besides Goku got screen time. Although they failed, Roshi, Tien and Chiautzo went up against Piccolo. The Evil Containment Wave when used properly could have easily sealed Piccolo once again, hence that technique in itself was useful. Yajirobe was one of the strongest fighters around as well in that period of time, he killed one of King Piccolo's minions; Cymbal..

Dragonball had a much more adventure setting in it, and the tournaments were always fun to watch.

Well, if that's what's defined as being useful, which I agree with by the way, then Z had its fair share of moments of humans doing stuff to help serve the plot.

The early parts of Z yes. But as Z went on Toriyama focused almost solely on the Saiyans, something I didn't really like.

Muten Roshi was also useful in forwarding Tenshinhan's arc.
