That isnt the power of friendship its strategy. Like...Zamasu and Black werent using the power of friendship lol
I remember Basil saying that his bonds with his brothers made them stronger(later we saw Goku and Vegeta use Blue on them), and now imagine a group of characters, who are magical girls, claiming that their bonds also make them stronger.

The difference will be enormous. If they get to defeat Vegeta, it would make things very interesting, someone characters would say stuff like..."Power of Friendship....How do you even defeat that"?, then cue Beerus losing his mind.

Then I guess is ok to have people insulting each other and saying petty things like fanboys with no context and all of us agree with the rule before we made an accounts here

    Well it's not necessarily about wanting to see it. Just about when they might throw it out there if it's still a thing. I can't imagine any point in this thing where it would be good but they might do it for padding.


    They can also do a hilarious episode where Yamcha tries to win Bulma back. Keep in mind everybody is gone at the tournament, the kids are at 17's island, and Yamcha's opportunity has never been bigger :lol:
    Ugh I hope they dont do that. It'd be much better if it was an episode of him fighting off some threat,because ot would make up for him being shafterd in RoF and ToP.

    Come to think of it we never did find out what Yamcha's VA was talking about when he was recording lines for him, did we? :lol:

    He hasn't been in any of the episodes at all since they left Earth, and unless he was talking about the upcoming videogame, I don't know what that was for.

    I feel your pain man. As much as I like Roshi I don't understand why they brought him back from retirement and have him take Yamcha's place. Outside of RoF, Roshi wasn't active as a warrior since Dragonball when he died against King Piccolo. Yamcha was much more recent than that, at least he tried at the Cell games and fired a blast at Cell to distract him along with the others, and he did help protect Goku against the Cell Jr's.

    Oh well. Probably Toriyama's preference.

      At this point I think he meant he was recording lines for the DBFighters game.

      Neither do I. When your lady is long gone to the guy indirectly responsible for your death, when everybody sort of neglects you except Puar, and your voice actor teases something about you that doesn't appear to be coming to fruition, it must suck being the scar faced bandit.

      I mean, when a figure of your dead body after being killed by a Saibaman is one of the main profits you generated for the franchise, you know its time to hang up the gear and call it a day for good.

      Thank god for the Yamcha manga.

      Or he was just joking about how much voice work he was doing, or didn't actually mean he was doing a lot.

      Isn't everybody blasting Cell anime filler (aside from Vegeta)? Either way I suppose you're right about how active he was late into DBZ.

      I think he was specifically talking about voicing Yamcha though, not VA in general.

      Why do people have a problem with Caulifla going SSj2 so quick when characters like Goten and Kid Trunks was able to go SSj so quick as well. I mean even Gotenks went SSj3 under 24 hours while it took Goku half a decade to become a SSj3.

      Yeah it sucks. Hopefully Toshio's comment about his power being needed leads to something cool.

      Also Bulma has a sister, he doesnt need to chase after Bulma again

      I don't have a problem with Caulifla getting super saiyan 2, but I understand those who do dislike it.

      As ridiculous as Goten and Trunks were, they come from established prodigies themselves in Goku and Vegeta. The audience should expect their kids to be insanely strong. Plus Trunks had the benefit of learning first hand from his father, Goten at least had Gohan and his mom, and all of them not including Chi Chi are better fighters than Cabba.

      There's just something that irks people of someone coming out of nowhere who isn't related to the main characters and all of a sudden achieves something everybody not including Goten and Trunks had years to train for.

      And lastly, it's also partly because Caulifla is a female. I certainly don't have this belief, but there are insecure, ego driven sexist people out there who just don't like the idea of a female being that strong, fictional or not.

      Tho I dont agree that she's around God level, the line was there for a reason, like it or not he only raised a little bit of his power, yes he was that dumb, like how he was when he fought Beerus and had the nerve to hold back.
      Haha, I love how I am being referred to as "The guy that made the chart." Sure, why not? I do want to point out that it was not meant to be a chart, more of a metaphor for SSBerserker being a true, unreachable form that Saiyans could not achieve unless through an anomaly.

      I totally see where you are coming from though. That line about Goku using a little more power would imply that he went to around SS3. However ...

      Ki Breaker wrote:You know, upon further thought..
      Jiren wouldn't have stepped up if it wasn't something he needed to for..
      If she was below blue level, toppo would have went instead, like he sends other people behind us when challenged instead of himself engaging..

      And why would goku fire a Kamehameha which does no effect? He saw it didn't do anything, powered the wave up further but it still didn't do anything..
      What exactly was he going for there if he intended to hold back so much his attack dosen't even phase her
      This right here ^ is my thought process. Goku got tossed around rather easily, implying Kale was stronger than him in the moment. He can sense power rather well, so if he jumped up from SS2 level to SS3 level of power, he should have been sure it was enough to beat Kale. However, SSBerserker Kale tanked a blue kamehameha. Goku was shocked by this, as can be seen from his facial expression when she grabs his face. That was unexpected to him. When Kale first emerged she begins to steam and power-up. This draws the attention of many other on-lookers. In that frame where the screen splits into fifteen people or so, we see Android 17, Toppo, Frieza, and Jiren. #17 and Toppo, who managed to push Goku into SSBlue are looking very serious about learning that Kale in berserker has this much power. Frieza has his usual sadistic look on his face. ... But Jiren shows no expression whatsoever.

      His eyes are closed as though he is not fazed by this. This is reminiscent of Hit during the U6/U7 tournament, where the power of Super Saiyan did not faze him. He opened his eyes out of surprise to feel SSBlue. Even at the power that would get the attention of Frieza, Toppo, and #17, Jiren does not get fazed. He has used minimal energy throughout this whole tournament because he is just that strong. He stood still not moving, and even when Rabanra from U2 went to attack him, Jiren only glared at him. In the scene where Kale is knocking out contestants with a barrage of ki attacks, Toppo readies the troopers for an assault. Jiren steps in though because he knew he was strong enough to beat her.

      If SSBerserker Kale is powerful enough to draw the attention of Android 17, Toppo, and Frieza during a battle royale, and walk through an SSB Kamehameha and beat down Goku. Then she is SSBlue tier. Jiren is clearly stronger, but SSBerserker Kale, SSB Goku, SSB Vegeta, Hit, Toppo, Golden Frieza, and Android #17 are all in the same realm.
      Gohan is also in that realm as well
      Kale also in that realm but she isn't>blue

      Gotenks was a fusion so him acheiving ssj3 isn't bs
      People still bitch about Goten and trunks achieving asj
      But even then you could buy it with them due being hybrids and we saw what guys like gohan and f.trunks can do at a young age.
