Two punches ends Zen-chan

The resulting warrior however is trapped in a state of mad divine zen and murderous intent as they boil with the minds of four warriors raging for a way to expend all that multiplied quadratic fusion energy

Probably ending in universal destruction

:eng101: Dragon Ball Fusions uses a combined form of the two fusion methods and 1. fusions don't run out 2. if 5 people who fused by this method all dance fusion together they turn into some massive bullshit powerful but short lived form that basically decimates everything.

Did you know Lord Slugh was title "Super Saya-jin Goku" in Japan and released ten days before Super Saya-jin premiered in the manga. That the entire movie was a rush to get Super Sayian out before it premiered in the manga to drive sales, but, due to Toriyama not having a final design, having to guess at what it might look at and even doing a cope out by having King Kai sound confused if it is super sayian.

Turns out fake super sayian was an attempt by Toei animation to beat Toriyama to release with a super sayian form to drive sales of a pretty boring movie.

I just recently learned of this, I've never actually watched the Lord Slug movie. It's a pretty neat bit of trivia for sure.

The movie is dumb, the only good thing about it is Gohan's whistle song trolling Piccolo, just watch that.

Vegeta getting trolled is the new Piccolo getting trolled, which is to say that Piccolo getting trolled is very good. Lord Slug is dumb as hell, though.

The sad truth is that most of the DBZ movie villains kind of suck, and the better parts of those original 13 movies mostly have nothing to do with them.

Spiderdrake

They're generally better in DBZA format, except when they come up with side jokes that don't really improve the main jokes.

I mean Slug is ridiculous and their take on it just accentuates that element.

ImpAtom

The major problem with DBZ movie villains is that almost to a man they're Budget Knockoff versions of existing and better-done characters and storylines and while that's okay for a 2-hour well-animated fight it doesn't actually give them anything meaningful to do. They actually rely on "oh, it's Evil Goku/Piccolo Again/Frieza Again/Androids again/etc" to fill in the blanks and because it's a film there's no development or growth or change in characters. It's why BotG/RoF (even with RoF's problems) stand out because they do actually advance and change things, even if it's in a minor way, though obviously Super somewhat replaces that and it becomes "do I want the nicely animated coherent version or the bloated one with more buildup."

RoF is absolutely closer but at least introduces a For Real New Super Saiyan Form that ends up continuing to be a thing compared to the other films which just have people relearning the stuff they knew already except maybe Vegeta and Goku doing the fusion dance.

Funnily enough most of the movie villains are so aggressively uninteresting that they're easily beat by Hildegarn/Janemba, who don't have any personality at all, just cool designs.

It also fits in continuity, which is only really true for movie 9 and kinda-sorta movie 5.

Yah, ROF basically just promised a cool fight with a popular returning villain, and the series hosed up the rather important cool fight part.

I still think the first half of rof is really really good but everything from the cow vs piccolo on is kinda lame

the super version sucks as well but the animation also sucks

Nah. I think RoF was cool. I was craving that rematch between Goku and Frieza that we got denied right on the beginning of the android saga

This but only if it's actually the first episode of an OVA that's an expansion of the History of Trunks story and has Imperfect Cell killing Future Trunks as a twist ending, and ends with an extended shot of Cell growing down into bug form so he can fit into the time machine, activating it, and then vanishing into the aether.

Say didn't like 6 of them fit in the same time machine in the Goku Black arc? How the gently caress could one vaguely humanoid being not fit inside, even accounting for wings and tail?

Cell is a being of class, and as such would not force himself to be cramped on his way to perfection.

Trunks isn't THAT much smaller than Imperfect Cell, and he wasn't exactly crammed in there with no room whatsoever. It was just a Toriyama story beat, so don't think on it too hard.

The thing that frustrates me about the Dragon Ball movies is Gohan's stupid little dragon friend who just stops showing up and is never mentioned again in the movie universe.

That's a timeline that doesn't have Trunk's kickass '80s time traveler theme and thus completely inferior.

There are 2 Cooler movies, and Cooler is just a palette swapped Freeza at the end of the day. Plus Freeza is probably the most popular villain of the entire series, and I doubt that's just because it's been decades since he first appeared, so I'm going with "yes."
