When Pilaf and gang are flying away, the Oozaru turns his head all the way around. In the animation it looks like the Oozaru just snapped it's own neck. His head looks like it's on backwards.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

Whats the source of this shot?
Abysmal, filtered, low bitrate Dragon Box rip like every other shot he's posted, if that's what you mean by source.
Well until I can afford the $1,000 needed to get the dragon boxes, this is what I'm using. If and when I do get them, maybe I'll recapture these and replace all of my images on here. But until then...
Also, while I am here... The error found on this one was that Trunk's belt is cyan.... but what I just noticed is that Gohan's hair below the eyes is colored white.

Devil's advocate: We only see how two spacepods open in the manga. It's possible at least one of the other three have a door with the hinge at the bottom (like Raditz's).

It seems more like to me that the pod landed upside down, which is why it opened like that.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

Kunzait_83 wrote:And if you're upset because all this new material completely invalidates the tabletop RPG rulebook-sized statistical system and flowchart for the characters' "canonical Power Levels" that you'd been working on painstakingly for the last bunch of years now... well I don't think there's a kind, non-blunt way of saying this, but that's 100% entirely your own misguided fault for buying so deeply into all this nonsensical garbage in the first place. And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
