What exactly makes Cabba anything like Vegeta? I mean, even as foil/mirror I don't think any personality traits really stick or match up.

Also it was Gohan who deflected the bullet into Beerus.

And into his wife's leg.

Just to confirm that he is in fact a giant screwup.

Why was it so hard for them to grasp "Evil Goku voice"

Because a large part of Black's character is not that he's 'Goku but Evil', it's how he acts absolutely nothing like Goku. (Except for the evergrowing battle-lust)

Well, my opinion is this: 'I want senpai to notice me' is indeed better motivation than 'Baby next to me cried. A lot. For like, three hours', but not really much better.

Hit being Purple Pikkon is basically just saying Hit is Purple Piccolo with Serial Numbers Filed Off so I'm not sure that's really a bad thing to be.

if anything it's another hosed up/funny aspect of dragon ball cosmology

the entire divine bureaucracy apparatus exists only to keep a nebulously defined "quality" of mortals up to an arbitrary standard to appease...well, no one because Zeno doesn't really seem to care so it must just be The Way Things Are.

I hope/believe that before the end of the series we're going to be introduced to Zeno's doting mom.

... Uh outside of that one moment with Shin Kikoho (admittedly a great moment), Tien has literally never been useful in a fight.

I mean I know they brought Freeza back with the intention of having him do something big but right now he's pretty much there to take up screentime every once in a while so I'm just waiting for the payoff.

Also Frost is hardly Freeza-lite. Freeza's greatest defining trait is utter arrogance to the point of self-sabotage, which Frost doesn't display very much at all. (except at the start of his fight with Vegeta? that was a weird moment.)

a cartoon duck posted:

Is that even the case when basically every Dragon Ball villain since Radditz overpowered the protagonists and was only ever beaten by a bullshit powerup, a desperation attack, or both?

I think it was the DBZAbridged guys who first said this, but Nappa's fight is basically Broly's fight except better. He's completely superior to the main team in a straight fight, he inflicts actual losses on them, but at the same time they get hits in and fight back properly in what is clearly a losing struggle.

Also it doesn't go on loving forever (at least in the manga. I dunno about the show)

Gohan, for whatever reason, really does not want to fight right now.

He is 100% dedicated to just conserving his power and doing as little as possible.


If it pays off with him as the last man standing, I guess we'll know why

The reason is that they wanted U7 to be capable of stomping all over 99% of the competition but also wanting to draw out the narrative tension somehow.

Goku loses to Jiren. As soon as the special ends, Jiren and Hit go at it

Goku loses and then everyone immediately jumps in with a transparent attempt to pad/buy time so he gets his second wind and gets the 'real' fight.

That doesn't even make any sense. Champa is there too and the manga established early on that they're pretty much blow-for-blow equal during a fight sequence.

The only thing good about the manga is the violence is more impactful which hardly makes up for the rest.

Nah. They have some good scenes that aren't the manga like the family playing Super Dragon Kart and Future Mai meeting up with Pilaf and co.

The actual fight parts are way worse than the anime unfortunately.

I'm not limiting this to fighting games

Rock Paper Scissors

Edit: I was gonna go for 'chess' as the snarky response but then I rememebered white statistically wins more often due to first mover advantage and most pros playing the black side tend to be more focused on ensuring draws instead of wins.

Is it lame? I don't know. It'd be really weird if that kind of massive power was normal.

I don't have much beef with your analysis of the issue in particular, but I'd just like to refer to this and point out that this is the series where a scientist working off a defunct criminal organization's resources created at least 5 androids/cyborgs that could have easily shitstomped the galactic emperor who ruled through fear of his ability to personally crush everyone.
