"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Sandubadear]

"Goku was tanking bullets before he knew what ki is" is not a good argument. He was firing Kamehamehas before he knew what was ki. He was on guard then. We don't know about this episode yet. You don't need to know about ki in order to have ki. Otherwise the Genki Dama would never work.

With his guard down, Cell Games SSJ Goku was hurt by a damn rock.

I just had to go and post the image... Well, if I hadn't, someone would anyway

Well, to be fair, this complaint isn't unfounded. The ability to resist bullets has been something established since chapter 1. This isn't something like "HOW MANY PLANET BUSTS CAN GOKU BUST WHILE BUSTING PLANETS?" conversation, this is a basic ability of a character who is millions of times stronger than he was back when he first displayed it.

It's also un-established as early as Lunch's introductory chapter when she makes swiss cheese out of Kame-Sennin, Goku and Kuririn, which they immediately recover from because it's a gag manga.

Later, Blue is able to pin Goku down with the threat of a close-range shotgun blast to the head. Kuririn throws a rock at sleeping Super Saiyan Goku in the Cell arc, and it hurts him. I honestly have zero issue with Sorbet being able to shoot him through the chest with a laser.

I do understand that there's precedence for the the fighters being able to resist normal weapons, but it isn't nearly consistent enough to lose sleep over. Goku can still be scratched by stuff. If he's in a situation where he's dicking around with a minuscule fraction of his power, as he would have to be to not turn human criminals into dust just by looking at them, he can be slightly hurt by a bullet.

I hate that I even wrote as seriously about it as I did in that last sentence.

[Beyond]

Every time something happens that doesn't make sense when considered with past feats and power level, I gain an extra day to my life span. It feels good.

[dbs fanboy]

Bullets are training, that's why they're able to hurt Kuririn and Goku. Next they'll transform into Super Bullet God and will be able to hurt Beerus.

I swear, if Goku gets injured by a mere bullet.........
Sigh

This. And let's not forget the fucking laser.

People are overreacting.

[pacz360]

Yes and it hurt him, bullets hurt him and General White knocked him out cold with his super gun.

A super gun thats more powerful Than the one bulma shot him with at the start don't excuse toei's bad writing.

Bullets hurt him (infact it knocked him of his feet), super gun knocks him out, stones thrown or blown at him can hurt and/or cut him, glass can cut him and lasers can pierce his flesh. Extreme heat can burn him and he can be frozen solid. Without air he will suffocate and die.

It has been shown time an again that when Goku for all his power can be hurt by mundane things if he dose not properly focus his power and I will never understand why people put Goku up on this invulnerable pedestal and flip their shit the moment they are reminded that their hero is only flesh and blood.

First off goku took a bullet from a sniper rifle and it only annoyed him never knocked him on his ass also second glass never cut goku stop making up bullshit only in gt which sure isn't Canon same thing with the rock which again fucking FILLER
Goku as a kid had even took rockets which didn't do shit to him plus took jet fuel in the face which didn't hurt him hell we see him survive atmospheric reentry in Super
The laser scene was recton to his base form which was clear his guard was down.

Just keep ignoring what I'm saying everyone... just keep freaking out over very little information like always.

If this is not a gag then wtf super Goku in the beginning of dragon ball literally got shot point blank by bulma and wasn't fazed so imma hold back my judgment into i see the episode

After that in the manga every time someone was shot for comedic purposes it would love bullet holes in their heads that were leaking blood.
Don't use gag scenes from Dragon Ball for examples of what the characters are capable of.

I can see you ignored what I said at the end of my post

Wow. That blows Chozetsu Dynamic out of the water.

Phenomenal song!

I'm not even going to bother responding to this or similer comments as others have adequately explained it for me above.

Hey look some positive stuff

I really REALLY needed this after what happened today.

The top comment was to the thread in general, that's why it was above the quote of your post, the only part directed at you was under the quote.

[zamasu121]

Even though i like super, it feels like toei and their writers just try to make me hate it.

[Kirbopher]

Anyone able to get on lyrics for Limit Break x Survivor?

[Vados_chan]

You guys get triggered over the slightest thing that doesn't fit in with your powerlevel crap

[ArchedThunder]

Anyone able to get on lyrics for Limit Break x Survivor?

If someone can get you the lyrics fast enough you should try and get a "cover" up before the episode airs

I'm embarrassingly trying to transcribe them myself, but it's gonna probably look nonsensical.

First I'm not using a gag as a feat of strength or durability. Second if it's a gag it can be written off as a joke and not bad writing and like I said I'm holding off judgment into I see it which is the part of my post you're ignoring

I still have quite the soft spot for Chozetsu Dynamic. Listening to it made me feel the novelty factor of a new Dragon Ball series after 18 years for a full 76 episodes, so much that each episode reminded me of how excited I was when the whole thing started in July of 2015.

Although I do get its time for a change now so I'm looking forward to the new song growing on me, and frankly after one listen I do feel it will.
