The kind that divides the fandom and results in mudslinging from both sides so I'm going to just avoid it.


These female saiyans might be the best example of be careful what you wish for, though I never wish for female saiyans, you just might get it. They might be one of the most divisive things about super and that is saying a lot.
People got mad at the Arale episode? When she is a gag character like Saitama, Bugs Bunny, etc.

From what I've seen from the fans in other sites , Caulifla reactions in the West are as mixed as Ronda Rousey at her peak, WWE Alexa Bliss :think:
Yes, that episode was very mixed.

And Piccolo wouldn't have had to jump in then if Gohan had been able to defend himself. See what I did there?

Had Gohan kicked away Saonel himself instead of relying on Piccolo (I mean, Gohan needed Piccolo to help him help Piccolo?), then I would've also thought Piccolo was struggling more, but the scene seemed specifically built to show how in tune they were as partners - nothing more.
But he wasn’t. Piccolo was.
Was what? I'm missing the connection here? Struggling? They both were. They both were out of breath by the end of it. And honestly, I feel like Gohan shouldn't have been. The namekians seemed fine.

Feel free to think differently, we obviously interpret the scene differently.

Was a cool scene either way.

But that was a filler episode.

Anyways, I was going to say about what Cabba told Caulifla, the whole "Overconfidence is what will cost you". She is going to fight Freeza soon, and the only way I could see her surviving is if Kale sacrifices herself to protect her, maybe Freeza kills Kale(she dies on the stands meaning no penalty). :think:

Why is not being disable a ‘minuscule of difference’? In a battle, a moment where you can’t defend yourself can be fatal. It makes a huge different.



But it doesn’t. In this tourument, Piccolo isn’t that strong.

She fought a Pride Trooper around her powe-range since not all the Pride Troopers are god-level. And 18 nearly lost to U4 members. Krillin had to actually saved her and the blind wolf was so strong that 18 wanted to retreat.

‘Toei nonsense’ is just a salty excuse to explain why Piccolo’s weak. Gohan in base form preformed better than Piccolo who couldn’t defend himself for a brief moment. If Piccolo isn’t going unleash his ‘true’ power now, this is his limit. It’s the same excuses we kept getting about Tien until he was thrown out.
Gohan got slammed to the floor by Pilina just like how Piccolo got hit down by Saonel. Gohan protected Piccolo and then Piccolo protected Gohan. That seems even to me. You say you take everything into account when determing how good they are but you are not this time.

Piccolo would be doomed unless they think of something creative for him. Gohan always pulls things out of nowhere so he wouldn't be screwed. Regardless, I hope they save the two Namekians for Piccolo. This isn't Gohan's fight, I see him fighting Dyspo. Let the Namekian on Namekian violence continue!

Also, the androids especially 18 have been sort of forgotten about. She hasn't done anything worthwhile since she berated Krillin for dropping his guard after he saved her, and that feels like ages ago.
I see Frieza fighting Dyspo and Toppo against Vegeta.

If Piccolo and Gohan beat the Namekians then this is also not Piccolo's last fight.

They might fuse but I think they will be insanely strong if they do.
Jigurashi wrote:The Namekians fusing would be cool, but I don't see them getting Jiren to do anything lol. I don't want Gohan taking them down though. I'd rather they actually create a clever scenario to have Piccolo defeat them, but it's far more likely Gohan gets involved in defeating them some way with Piccolo.
If Piccolo and Gohan beat them there is no way Piccolo doesn't get the final hit.
I'll wait for the conclusion of that fight instead. Too many people like to think they know how something is going to turn out, but it doesn't often go the exact way people think it will.

They went to Gaf Discord.
Can I get a link to that?

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

You are right how did you miss this?I thought you would know of all people.
Its time to educate yourself on the matter.
It even has a few comics created,its pretty much an escalation of the joke of people saying Gohan will beat Jiren,so of course after he defeated him he went on to defeat the Grand Priest(who is surely the mastermind and not Zeno).

I knew the joke about Super Saiyan White Gohan, but I didn't know it grown to this point.

Indeed is, I ROFL pretty hard at the intro:

[spoiler]"Super Saiyan White CHADhan is the transformation that GODhan achieved in the ToP after getting tired of his father's horrible fight against Jiren, his anger made him tap into Angel Ki, giving him the White hair and having his power multiply by 100.000 times, his attitude also changes making him disrespect his opponents and toying with everyone since his transformation is so strong."[/spoiler]

This is honestly like every bad Dragon Ball fanfic I read in the early 2000s.
