Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think Kai is much better than Z, it tells the story a lot better, I'm talking about both sub and dub
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Olibu vs Pikkon was the most entertaining fight of the Afterlife Tournament.
Scott Morgan's Pikkon Theme also made the fight much more interesting to watch.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I'm not 100% sure this is unpopular , but I've sen quite a few people argue against it (at least here):
The android siblings from the main timeline and those from the original timeline were always different in terms of personality and character and the author tried very hard to make that obvious.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't think it's unpopular, as I think so too and also I have a feeling that this was discussed somewhere on Daizex, maybe even described in some DB encyclopedia.Michsi wrote:I'm not 100% sure this is unpopular , but I've sen quite a few people argue against it (at least here):

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Except that afterwards, he says to himself, "Among Earthlings, that is..." So that's a clear assertion that Yamcha himself thinks that Kuririn's stronger than him.Travis Touchdown wrote:His line about Krillin being the strongest human, despite Tenshinhan being considered human by the cast, seems obvious; he's talking to Krillin's daughter. She's scared for her dad's well-being and he's just giving her a confidence boost.
Not to mention that Kuririn's BP is 206 in the Saiyan arc, as opposed to Yamcha's 177.
Another unpopular opinion: I think the fight with the Androids in the main timeline (the one that follows the story) closely mirrored the fight with the Androids in Trunks' timeline, only that the most significant defining change was Kuririn chickening out, thus being able to give the Senzu to his fallen comrades, who, as #17 said, would die if he didn't rush to revive them. This means that Androids #19 and #20 existed in that timeline too, but Blooma nor Trunks, since they both weren't present, didn't know about them.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Well, we know that Gero existed as #20 in Cell's timeline, because we see him converse with #17 and #18 before they kill him, but there's no sign of #19. I would think things would play out similar in Trunks's timeline.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't think we see that in the anime, but I still think what Piccolo Daimao said is plausible. Of course, they wouldn't all be waiting at the correct island for the androids to show up if Future Trunks hadn't told them about it, so there should have been some differences leading up to that point.LiamKav wrote:Well, we know that Gero existed as #20 in Cell's timeline, because we see him converse with #17 and #18 before they kill him, but there's no sign of #19.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Cell gives us an extended flashback while he's having his Kamehameha-off with Gohan. Since Cell is the one remembering it, it would presumably have to be his Timeline that he's thinking about, rather than Trunks'.
I'd also disagree with the theory, because for the fight to go the same everyone would have to be at similar strength levels, which means the 3 years of intense training would have done nothing.
(Although we can assume that Vegeta probably trained just as hard, in an attempt to overtake Kakarrot. We know at least that he had turned Super Saiyan in Trunks' timeline. And that Bulma had still made him some new armour, for... some reason.)

This isn't that unpopular of an opinion. I think most here prefer Z, but there's plenty that prefer Kai, myself included.Nex Carnifex wrote:I think Kai is much better than Z, it tells the story a lot better, I'm talking about both sub and dub

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I believe Super Perfect Cell was much stronger than SS2 Gohan, why else did his attack do so much damage to literally incapacitate an arm, if Cell could do that with ease he could have easily destroyed Gohan with more careful attacks, but giving Gohan the option to unlock more power in desperation was his downfall, cuz gohan always does that.
yeah but I can understand why long term fans would like ZPokewhiz7 wrote:This isn't that unpopular of an opinion.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Gohan was off guard, and if SPC was so much more powerful than how was Gohan able to hold off Cell's Kamehameha with his one-handed Kamehameha after losing a lot of power and confidence?Nex Carnifex wrote:I believe Super Perfect Cell was much stronger than SS2 Gohan, why else did his attack do so much damage to literally incapacitate an arm, if Cell could do that with ease he could have easily destroyed Gohan with more careful attacks, but giving Gohan the option to unlock more power in desperation was his downfall, cuz gohan always does that.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
The plot required it and he was in such a desperate situation it makes sense he'd hold it off for a little bit, was Cell nervous until the end? Not at all.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
You can't just say the plot required it, or else someone can say it was Gohan that was much more powerful and he only got injured because the plot required it for the drama value.Nex Carnifex wrote:The plot required it and he was in such a desperate situation it makes sense he'd hold it off for a little bit, was Cell nervous until the end?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
You can't say one casual attack somehow took away all his power if Cell wasn't stronger, all he did was a casual finger beam not a strong attack at all clearly this was to show the power difference between the 2, Gohan saw it coming he jumped in the way of it but he wasn't surprise attacked. Characters stand there as other characters rain down attacks like nothing in DB if they are stronger, clearly this was the opposite with Gohan. He got pwned with Cell not even trying but with the help of plot power and desperate he managed to hold off in a struggle long enough until he got that gohan power burst.Saiga wrote:You can't just say the plot required it, or else someone can say it was Gohan that was much more powerful and he only got injured because the plot required it for the drama value.Nex Carnifex wrote:The plot required it and he was in such a desperate situation it makes sense he'd hold it off for a little bit, was Cell nervous until the end?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I like Sean Scheamel's King Kai voice and Linda Young's Freeza voice and think they fit great with the characters they are for. I like pretty much all the English voices that are used for the season set/DBOX dubs (not the Toonami dub) I like Jheese's Funimation Kai voice. I like the accent they always give Jheese and I can't imagine the character without it.
I prefer the remastred dub over the original Saban dub. I prefer Dameon Clarke as Semi Perfect Cell over Norio Wakamoto.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Shit, I meant to say I didn't think we saw that in the manga. How did I type the exact opposite of what I meant?LiamKav wrote:Cell gives us an extended flashback while he's having his Kamehameha-off with Gohan.

Hmm, I suppose so.I'd also disagree with the theory, because for the fight to go the same everyone would have to be at similar strength levels, which means the 3 years of intense training would have done nothing.
Well, that's only in the anime. We don't know if "Future Vegeta" became a Super Saiyan in the manga.We know at least that he had turned Super Saiyan in Trunks' timeline. And that Bulma had still made him some new armour, for... some reason.)
Why would he need to be "much stronger" for that? Just being in the same league would be enough with a well placed shot against a target who wasn't defending themselves. Heck, Daimao and Goku was more or less the same, and he not only took out one of Goku's legs with a casual ki beam from his eyes, but further broke the rest of his limbs by blowing rocks at him with his breath.Nex Carnifex wrote:I believe Super Perfect Cell was much stronger than SS2 Gohan, why else did his attack do so much damage to literally incapacitate an arm

Gohan was off guard, trying to protect Vegeta. It wasn't just a casual blast, it was a blast meant to kill Vegeta. And a weaker character can injure a stronger character with an attack - Piccolo tore a hole through Raditz after all. So you can't say Cell must be stronger because he can injure Gohan. There's no plot power about it - Gohan's inner strength exceeds Cell's full power. He lost a lot of power after Cell's attack because he lost confidence, but once he tapped into his real power he obliterated Cell.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I believe that Gohan was not a ssj2 against Dabura and Boo.
At this point I think it's becoming more and more of an unpopular opinion here.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
It was a casual attack, there was no charging whatsoever, he shot a simple little finger beam because he was just that godly enough to easily kill Vegeta. Gohan jumped in the way and took the attack, it severely damaged his SS2 body. Therefore Super Perfect Cell>SS2 Gohan, if Gohan shot a ki blast at Cell you think that would destroy his arm? We can clearly put 2 and 2 together to say Cell effortlessly bested Gohan's durability, yes he tapped into his hidden potential once again to come out on top but so did he with Raditz and Vegeta who were both naturally much stronger.Saiga wrote:You obviously don't know if you go ahead and say something like that.Nex Carnifex wrote: You can't say one casual attack somehow took away all his power if Cell wasn't stronger, all he did was a casual finger beam not a strong attack at all clearly this was to show the power difference between the 2, Gohan saw it coming he jumped in the way of it but he wasn't surprise attacked.
