Isn't Episode of Bardock an else worlds tale?

The boo arc is the best arc and the Freeza arc is the worst.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Naho Ooshi does refer to it as a "what-if story" in the introduction. However, since Episode of Bardock is a sequel to the Father of Goku special, I don't think it's really relevant to Minus.Soppa Saia People wrote:I really don't know what to believe anymore.ABED wrote:Isn't Episode of Bardock an else worlds tale?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Out of all the things that came out the Majin Buu arc, the idea of Mystic Gohan/Ultimate Gohan/Potential Unleashed Gohan etc., was THE WORST.
I didn't mind that Gohan got some kind of power-up, but the presentation/appearance of it was so bland and so cheap that I could tell Toriyama probably was at his breaking point of creativity. In terms of power-scaling, I was so confused for many years as to how powerful he was in comparison to fusions and SSJ3 transformations.
Perhaps it would have been better if he looked SLIGHTLY different. Better yet, Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien Shinhan would have benefited in having their potentials unlocked since they don't transform.

DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least...
My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
As was Gohan's, yet the Elder Kaioshin was able to further unlock more of his power. Has there ever been any clarification on how the Namek Elder and the Elder Kaioshin's boosts differ? I seem to recall that the Namek Elder's boost simply unlocked up to the user's potential, whereas the Elder Kaioshin's boost actually somehow went beyond that.Danfun64 wrote:Krillin's potential has already been unlocked by the Grand Elder...not that it helped him much...Esfír Dedragón wrote:Krillin, Yamcha, and Tien Shinhan would have benefited in having their potentials unlocked since they don't transform.
edit: According to Daizenshuu 7, as quoted by VegettoEX,
So it seems like Kuririn would benefit from the Elder Kaioshin's boost even beyond what he got from the Namek Elder's. Similarly, Tenshinhan and Yamcha would get at least some benefit out of it.This is a technique that draws out the dormant power that each person has. In The Eldest's case, he only triggers the drawing out of that person's dormant power; if there is no power sleeping inside that person, no change will occur. He is able to use this technique merely by holding his hand over the person's head. In the Elder Kaioshin's case, he is able to draw out a person's dormant power beyond their limits, but this requires him to do a dance, and takes over 20 hours.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Gohan is (and always was) a useless character and I'm tired of hearing people moan about him. The only times he's been relevant or useful is when he's massively more powerful than whomever he's up against... and he screwed up both of those encounters quite royally. His character is done and needs to be retired. Have him work with Bulma, maybe train passively so he at least retains the power he had against Cell. He has no business being a front-line character anymore.
Besides his warning about the androids and delivering the heart-virus cure.. Future Trunks was also a useless character. He may have gone through a lot in his timeline, but he accomplishes little besides those first two things after the fact. Desroying the androids & Cell in his own timeline isn't exactly impressive when he's massively more powerful than them. His glorification, gary-sue powers, and his unexplained asspull transformation in Super are beyond ridiculous. I swear someone at Toei has a shrine dedicated to him.

It wouldn't help them like Gohan because the powers Elder Kaioshin unlocked were what Gohan already had but suppressed due to his docile nature.Esfír Dedragón wrote:Out of all the things that came out the Majin Buu arc, the idea of Mystic Gohan/Ultimate Gohan/Potential Unleashed Gohan etc., was THE WORST.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Another unpopular Dragon Ball opinion would be Superman Stalkers always claiming that their boytoy in red and blue would always beat Goku.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Golden Freeza is one of the best things this franchise has ever given us. The color palette consists of very nice shades of yellow, and it blends beautifully with the purple aura. Beyond that, the gold theme showed that Freeza finally overcame his fear of Super Saiyans, and went so far to even mock them about it.
