Yeah, DB vs. Naruto strength debates are immensely headache-inducing. Especially when power levels come into the mix. :P

I think I've once seen a FA of Inuyasah armwrestiling Goku in SSJ form. Inuyasha was looking bored and unimpressed while Goku was struggling and on the loosing side.....it was kinda pathetic.

I mean even if I adored Inuyasha and dispised DB, I still think this attamept to promote your favorite series is sad and childish.

To be fair, techniques like Kakashi's "dimension teleport" would actually be able to teleport, say, Goku's arm into another dimension. But when it comes to sheer strength and such...naaaah. :P

I think I remember Venom9808 uploading a DBZ Top 10 Villains video and he put in Broli (not at No. 1, mind you) just to stop the Broli haters complaining...and they still complained anyway. :roll: Broli fanboys are the worst type of DB fan.

If you're the kind of Broli fangirl who obsesses over Broli battle power discussions, tries to enforce your opinion onto others that he's the most powerful villain ever and that he's the greatest villain ever, then that's the worst type of DB fan too.

Those obsessed with him on another level that heretosexual man will never understand. Well... authors of fics that should be rated as M. Yaoi fangirls that pair him with Vegeta or Goku===>Kill it with fire!

You know what I like about Broli? That's one of a few characters that can't be spoiled by any ff creation. No matter how non-logical, naive and bad written it can't be worse.

Meh. I can't say I'm a huge fan of bashing people for their tastes, opinions, and mistakes, but, you know, sometimes I just have to let out steam, especially since most of the annoying comments I receive on YouTube are in relation to my DB videos. So, yeah, here's one:

"For the love of God, if youre going to call yourself a nerd, learn how to pronounce things.

Its "SAY-yin" not "Sai-YAN" and "SAI-ba-men" not "Sai-BY-man"

Dragonball Z is NOT a animated adaptation of the Dragonball manga with a new name. Its the animated SEQUEL to Dragonball with its OWN name.

Dragonball started when Goku was 12, and ended when he beat Piccolo in the world Martial arts tournament and married Chichi at age 20.

Dragonball Z starts 6 years AFTER the end of Dragonball."

It's certainly not the worst-written or rudest comment I've ever received. In fact, it's pretty tame in comparison to other things I've received. But I just don't like being corrected by someone who makes such a huge number of mistakes. I count at least 5 mistakes there. About the only thing that's correct is that Dragon Ball begins when Goku is 12. Oh, and in regards to the Saiya-jin pronunciation, you might think it's just because he's a dub fan, but I saw him reply to another comment on the same video asserting that the Japanese pronounce it "SAY-yin." So, yeah...

Anyway, I didn't feel like starting a fight, and, honestly, it's sooooo wrong I thought at first it might have just been a joke. So I instead pretended that it was indeed a really funny joke, a perfect parody of the ill-informed fans that make me wretch, and he hasn't bothered me since. :P

Goku didn't know how to count when he was talking to Bulma. After being taugh by Muten Roshi he corrected himself at the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai.

Out of universe it was obviously Toriyama retconning his age.

I've always wondered why Toriyama decided to retcon Goku's age. The only thing I can think of is maybe he thought 14 was pushing it in terms of being able to show Goku naked... but then again, I don't believe you ever see Goku naked after the moment he reveals he's 12.

Maybe not fully naked but you see him with no bottoms on during his second encounter with Pilaf after the Baba stuff. They zapped his pants and underwear off with their robots if I remember correctly.

Oh, wait, that's right! Duh! *smacks head* Thanks for reminding me. You do see him fully nude from the waist down during that encounter. I think that's the last time, though... but then again the next time you see him, he's at least 15.

The other day I saw a top 5 DBZ villians video. In the comments there was a Broli fan complaining about how the creator of the video put Raditz ahead of Broli. His ever-intelligent defense for his position on the matter was " WHAT? why did you put Raditz in front of Broli? Raditz isn't even a Super Saiyan!"

Brilliant....

Anime wise you see him chilling in a roaming lake totally naked.

Yes, I know, but I didn't think that filler would be a motivating factor for Toriyama to change Goku's age. But you never know, I guess. Toei could have requested he make Goku younger so they could further their own agenda of showing Goku naked. :P

And not that it matters, since it doesn't contradict the battle with Pilaf being the last time we see Goku naked, but I just realized there was yet another occasion after the age retcon I stupidly missed: Goku strips down to dive into the ocean to find the DB that General Blue is looking for.
