The Bee posted:Goku trains Caulifla. Gohan trains Kale. Vegeta trains Cabba. I actually really would have loved some kind of interaction between Gohan and Kale given their similar circumstances. Shy, timid, turns into a raging monster due to their natural inborn power? There could have been some fun scenes there.

It'd be nice to have Gohan do loving anything. On an only vaguely related note, I ended up getting linked to this earlier in the week and thought it was kind of cool. Someone is doing a tongue in cheek writeup of Groundbreaking Science, the book Gohan wrote about Ki usage as a setup to explain Dragonball Online. A bit silly, but the author actually seems to have put a lot of thought into the 'mechanics' behind Dragonball in a way that is remarkably entertaining.

All the deleted universes so far have taken their deletion in stride right? Except for Quitela and that one first universe's Kai freaking out right?

TheGamerGuy23 posted:I mean by that logic none of the good guy deaths in the entire series should've tried to have any emotional impact since they all just came back anyway. Except 16, poor guy got screwed over. tbf they didn't really have any impact after namek since the dragonballs got upgraded, 16 aside the whole reason chiaotzu and krillin dying were big deals was because they couldn't be revived, tien by comparison just got a "welp guess he's dead now" i mean there's still tension because the villian is usually going to blow up the planet unless they're stopped immediately so people dying is still a big deal in that sense

Also no one gave a poo poo that Trunks died except for Vegeta and when he lost it they were all '... we have Dragonballs man'

The lack of meaning in death is a plot point for the whole Buu saga. So long as Dende is alive nothing matters and they know it, which is why they offer the enitre human race for Buu to slaughter while they train up Goten and Trunks.

Piccolo very specifically felt horrible about suggesting it though, so that's not a great argument

Yeah, Piccolo wanted him to gently caress off to do it or w/e. Fat Buu already tore thru like 80% of the population tho so even if Buu did leave the lookout to do it, he prob wouldn't have been gone long.

Fat Buu is like a gag character gone horribly wrong. He's scarier than his other forms imo, just because of how unassuming he seems. Like when he cures that blind kid's sight and then goes off to get him some milk and brings back a carton he made out of some old dude. Spoopy.

True. Evil Buu is upfront about it at least. Fat Buu pre-Mr. Satan was just such a wildcard.

Fat Buu (Pre-Mr. Satan) was one of the best villains out there. He was so insanely powerful, yet erratic as all gently caress. Things were ruined once he became purely evil.

I always forget Evil Buu even exists until someone else brings him up. He lasted like, one full episode, right?

Nah he's around for a while. Has some gimmicky long rear end fight with Gotenks and later fights Gohan.

drilldo squirt posted:Was super buu the generic buff one? Depends on how buff you mean. The DB usual build one was Super Buu, yes. The REALLY BUFF one was just Kid Buu (some Kaioshin or other absorbed). The latter lasted for very little since he only appears during a flashback and then for a moment as Super Buu reverts back to his Pure form.

Early Super Buu, until about when he destroys the lookout, has a great serial killer vibe to him that just gets lost in a really bad Perfect Cell imitation after absorbing Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan.

I don't entirely mind how childish and petty he is when he's facing off with Vegito (whereas Cell was just petty), but yeah

Yeah, I've been digging Super Buu a lot up to his fight with Gohan on my rewatch. I do remember him getting bland as hell tho.

Well yeah but the point is they were consciously aware it was an option. Once your series has reached that point is there any real point in writing death as anything all that major? After a certain point as a writer (or writers in this case) you just kinda gotta shrug and accept that you're not gonna milk any tension out of it since you've already acclimated your audience to not giving a gently caress.

Basically everyone but Bulma seems to be super casual about it. Even her parents opt to stay with the pets rather than go to the lookout, because 'well y'all can wish us back later anyway!'. Piccolo feels terrible offering Buu the rest of humanity to buy time, but he doesn't hesitate to do it.
