He did take it off vs raditz,to which raditz said his power level was rising.....
Goku's Shirt=Goku's kryptonite.

I'll co-sign this.
But I really like cosmically powerful, dangerously bored Goku.
Thirded.
Ambiguously heroic and blood knight Goku provides far more intrigue to the plot.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Definitely an opinion I agree with. Dabura could've been used as a much more notable character than he actually was. He could've been a main villain.

I really really hope you're kidding
No. I could go into it,but then we'd have a lot of people arguing weather or not fusion is a multiplier.

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

1. I agree 100%
2. Not so much.
3. Yeah, but it still isn't great.
Broly>>>>>Buuhan. Do you REALLy want me to go into it? Because I can tell already it'll be just disagreeing on a lot of thing. We already disagree on the buuhan vs goku thing. Vegito owned buuhan.

Are you serious, man? C'mon, what the fuck? And then you say calling you Brolytards isn't appropriate.
I always thought that there were many instances in Dragon Ball that could be compared to previous developments, like SSJ transformations and power ups to the many forms of Buu and the Ginyu Force. Here it goes:
SSJ2 -> Super Buu -> Ginyu - a strength and agility increase over FPSSJ, Kid Buu and Jeice.
FPSSJ -> Kid Buu -> Jeice - full power with no drawbacks over stamina, plus great Ki control.
USSJ -> Buff Buu -> Recoome - a shortcut in power with great bulk at a loss of speed and energy.
ASSJ -> Evil Buu -> Burter - stronger and faster than SSJ, Good Buu and Guldo, respectively.
SSJ -> Good Buu -> Guldo - a powerful form that serves as the base to all others.
