My god, it's full of cat!


My impression of Kale specifically was that her transformation is based off envy rather than anger, which is why she doesn't go regular SSJ. There is definitely room for expansion in her stuff and that alone makes her interesting.

When future Trunks went back to a different future, was Bulma still alive? Do they still have a time machine? I hope he comes back. Maybe he has a kid with Mai. :3:

Yeah, the timeline Whis sent them to was one where the Zamasu/Black stuff never happened so Bulma should still be alive. But there is also another version of Trunks and Mai for whom that's their "home" timeline so it's complicated.

So future Trunks learned the fusion dance from young Trunks, and comes back with the other future Trunks who together can fuse into.. double Trunks.

So what happens if Future Double Trunks fuses with Gotenks

Does Goten just completely vanish, or become a fourth Trunks?

I find the reason behind Broly's berserker-ness to be dumb, but in a laughably silly way. Like if Broly was in the original Dragonball, that explanation would fit right in. The fact it's played straight, like we are supposed to take him not liking Goku crying seriously enchances the laughable absurdity of it in my mind. But I can understand just finding it to be stupid.

I think, just as a character, Kale is nearly better by Broly by default. It's a little unfair to Broly because he comes from not-great movies while Kale comes from a good show and has had more on-screen time AND actually talks like a normal person instead of Broly who is silent in his "normal" form and his bad dad does all the talking about his backstory for him.

That's only true last week. She did it the Vegeta way this week. The U6 Saiyans are really new at this, but they develop quickly with the limited time they're given since their introduction. I bet if Kale masters her SSJ form shown this week she'll stay in it full time like Jennifer Walters.

The same could also be said of Kale, but to a lesser extent on both counts - she at least has one or two character traits besides "is real mad about crying babies" and being in love with Caulifla is infinitely more understandable than having a monstrous, universe-destroying grudge over crying babies.

I mean, being around crying babies once if not a lot of the time is possibly one of the most annoying sounds in existence, but Broly could maybe be more angry over the fact that he, I dunno, has been hated and nearly tried to be killed by King Vegeta or used as nothing but a tool by his dad. You know, hate how poo poo most of his life is just because of a power he was born with and actually become something of a unique joke within Dragon Ball of the guy with MAXIMUM POWER hating the fact that he has it?

Kale actually has goals and desires she doesn't let herself have until now because people have treated her like poo poo except for Caulifa. I sympathize with that little berserker more because her breakdowns are a lot more human and understandable instead of KAKAROT CRIED.

They also didn't get three movies like Broly did.

Kale's transformation this week was based on her wanting to not be a burden, it's not really like Vegeta where he just wanted to beat Goku. I'd put this more on the level of something like Cabba's transformation.

I think the point of comparison is that they were both mad at themselves rather than another person like the rest of the saiyans (barring caulifla who just has back problems)

That's a lot like learning how to control it though, like how every other saiyan goes SSJ with back tingles instead of feeling angry. I feel like the basis for it is envy, with Kale being angry at herself that she's not measuring up.

Let's look at how all the Saiyans went SSJ:

Goku: saw Krillin die and lost his poo poo
Vegeta: tried to train too much on some meteor, got upset and lost his poo poo
Future Trunks: saw future Gohan dead and lost his poo poo
Gohan: realized he was the weak link of the z-fighters and lost his poo poo
Goten and Trunks: ???
Cabba: Vegeta threatened to blow up planet salad and he lost his poo poo
Caulifla: midochlorians back tingles
Kale: saw big sis getting too friendly with Cabba and lost her poo poo

With the exception of Goten, Trunks and Caulifa, seems like losing your poo poo is a preface to going Super Saiyan, ya'all.

Wheelo is generally well liked because World's Strongest is a fun movie.

Lord Slug is just an adaptation of Demon King Piccolo, but at least it tries to bring that concept into the more Sci Fi world of Dragon Ball Z, which is something I appreciate over them just stealing the plot to a Z arc and adapting it differently.

Broly could have been cool, I admit I know nothing about how the movies were made and all that, but the whole him hating Goku thing always felt like some board room meeting poo poo. He has a real strong motivation to hate Vegeta and Paragus, but it's a Dragonball movie so we need him to fight Goku. I think if they had just gone with him hating Vegeta there wouldn't be as much backlash against him as there is today, but you know, that's how it went. At least Kale's Goku freak out has some logic behind it and now that Kale is in control they can expand her past being a Broly look alike and we can see, hopefully, more of her character.

Tends to be, but with even a bit of discipline and training you learn how to control it, regularly access it, and refine it. I imagine it's something straddling the line between an innate ability and a technique.

Imagine if you never punched someone before. Then one day you got really upset, lashed out, and clubbed someone with your fist. That's what Goku did on Namek, and in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber he and Gohan refined it so they didn't have to throw wild, tear-stained haymakers every time they punched.

Technically you're not right about Trunks who in the manga was Super Saiyan before Gohan died.

I mean thematically the anime version feels a lot cooler but Trunks needing to lose his poo poo to go Super Saiyan was made there.

Vegeta gained SSJ by throwing a temper tantrum because Goku had something he wanted but couldn't have. And no, that's not TFS revisionism.

To be fair, you should probably factor in the destruction of his planet as well as his enslavement, horrific beating, and the subsequent murdering of his person at the hands of Frieza into that temper tantrum.

It'd have to be a pretty bitter pill to swallow that you spent your whole life training to topple some guy and that loser Saiyan you beat up on Earth shows you up and does it while you get killed.
