Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Well, yeah, but I'd say that leap in logic occurred the second Goku threw his ki at him and kept the limbless guy alive with it. Never thought that made any sense. Besides the fact that, up until now, throwing ki at someone seriously *hurt* that person, it also seems to completely invalidate senzu or any other healing item or device. I mean, just throw ki at someone. It'll stabilize any wound, including, apparently, losing half of your body, and you have a nigh-inexhaustible supply in most cases.

Throwing ki is just another way to transfer it. Just earlier Gohan and Kuririn were doing the same to Piccolo.

I like Future Trunks and how he easily destroyed Freeza and King Cold.
I also like Perfect Cell and the Cyborg/Cell saga.

Also, liking Perfect Cell isn't unpopular. He's the most popular incarnation of Cell even if people here are (now) ragging on him. He's not my favorite though but at least he's not Fat Majin Boo.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I've always seen the Android/Cell arc as the most popular one in the American Dragon Ball fandom, but I'm not sure if that's just including dub fans.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't know if I mentioned it in this thread, but I preferred even season 3 Schemmel over Kelamis.

Fat Buu is a much better villain than Perfect Cell.

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
This is more of an unpopular opinion among Kanzenshuu members: I don't hate FUNimation. *insert gif of all the Metacoolers (representing the many FUNi haters among the Kanzenshuu ranks) running towards Goku and Vegeta (representing the few who like FUNi)*

Wait.....hold the phone. People here HATE Funimation!? What!? WHY!? You sure you're not confusing them for hating Funimation's treatment of DBZ?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I swear I remember someone saying Gen Fukunaga kills puppies on here a while back. As much as FUNi bastardised and cash-cowed DBZ, that's a bold statement.

Burglars make better villains than Fat Buu. At least they're not cheap bastards (some are though) who recycle previous concepts.RandomGuy96 wrote:Fat Buu is a much better villain than Perfect Cell.
As you can tell I didn't like Fat Buu much as a villain.
So... basically less than Vegeta?He blew up 1/10 of the Earth and murdered millions if not billions of people. He's an anti-villain though.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Well that's not really fair. Vegeta is Vegeta, he exterminated multiple civilizations. By that logic Cell was less of a villain than Vegeta.

Given that this is a Dragon Ball forum, the line is pretty blurred in that regard.TheGmGoken wrote:You sure you're not confusing them for hating Funimation's treatment of DBZ? That Funimation the company?
But FUNi does consistently release the most reasonably priced DVDs/BRs. Fuck Aniplex.

Cell ate his villains, Blew up islands, killed main characters, and destroyed the military. Not only that but Cell diedRandomGuy96 wrote:Well that's not really fair. Vegeta is Vegeta, he exterminated multiple civilizations. By that logic Cell was less of a villain than Vegeta.
Not one
not two
but THREE times

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
One could argue that Buu doesn't exactly have free will at that point. His creator was evil and he created Buu to do evil, so he's evil as evil implies choice.RandomGuy96 wrote:He blew up 1/10 of the Earth and murdered millions if not billions of people.

Treatment of DBZ notwithstanding, FUNi's a pretty good company.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
There's a difference between bolstering one's spiritual energy with your own (although even that came out of the nowhere) and suddenly and instantly making it so the dying guy doesn't really need the lower half of his body anymore to survive. There's a BIG difference, and the implications are huge! I mean, if it's that easy, why didn't Goku just throw some ki on Vegeta while he was monologuing himself to death?Storm wrote:Throwing ki is just another way to transfer it.

I liked Battle of Z quite a lot o.o
