In any case, I've said my piece, I'm letting this go. It's probably better if we both do.

Did he ever compliment them for accuracy? Because that was the context of saying the writers of the D7 encyclopedia did a good job.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.

:think: With head attack don't make more sense to me!!

Raditz have 1200. At that power level, his punches produce damage but did not kill any of the 2.

Goku and Piccolo without weighted clothes have more than 400 each. 3 times weaker than Raditz!

Enraged mini Gohan more than 1300. Gohan's head attack took Raditz by surprise and totally unprepared.

Makankōsappō ( more than 1400 in that time ) inflict way more damage and attack head is not even close to that.

That´s how I see it!

Practically every official source has Raditz at 1,500. Even if he were at 1,200, any attack capable of seriously injuring him would annihilate Goku and Piccolo, who are around 400. I'm not sure what the rest of your post has to do with anything.

You don't think a x3 advantage is enough to one shot? Krillin one shotted several Saibamen with generic ki blasts. He was 1,770 and they were 1,200.

Going full out can result in injuries. Going full out is by definition not sparring.

If they were using the full extent of their abilities, then the planet would be dust. If nothing else, Vegeta's gravity chamber wouldn't have survived his sparring with Trunks.

That's why the whole Earth was destroyed near instantly by the titanic powers of Super Buu and Gotenks colliding.

...right?

No, it wouldn't. Gohan wasn't even fighting back.

Trunks and Vegeta didn't use any ki attacks against each other (I don't think Goten and Gohan did either, but I don't feel like checking). By definition, that means they weren't using the full extent of their abilities since they weren't using their most powerful techniques.

Suggesting that they're stupid enough to aim a ki blast towards the Earth's core.

That hasn't stopped them in the past, and I don't think it would be very wise for Gohan to hold back when he's gotten rusty (Goten seems like he isn't). Only the inexperienced fear the likability of injuries.

Nope. Just stating the obvious. They aren't using their most powerful techniques, so it's pretty apparent that they aren't going all out. I didn't see any Kamehamehas, Final Flashes, Big Bangs, Masenkos, or whatever it is that Goten and Trunks use, did you?

When?

He's more or less shaken off enough ring rust when he's sparring with Goten, and it doesn't even seem like they are sparring as much as Gohan's just blocking.
Only the inexperienced fear the likability of injuries.
Huh?

Can't remember his JPN voice, and Mignona is an interesting choice for the dub.

Just from his behaviour he's unpleasant to have around and with a voice it just made it more obvious (I can't even remember his Japanese vocal), I wonder why Toei came up with such a crappy character for the Dragon Ball universe maybe it was just to annoy everyone.

I don't get the hate. He's a tad one note in 10 and 11, but he's not that bad in 8. The fights aren't that much different than the other villains in the other films.

Besides Dead Zone and World's Strongest was there any DBZ movie with equal fights? Or at least not a curbstomp until the end?

Movie 12 had fights that were at least not total rape-stomps. The weaker fighter could still keep up and get in some hits. Mainly SS3 Goku and SS2 Vegeta vs Janemba.
