I mean it isn't like Broly didn't get absurdly strong absurdly quickly too.

Yeah but the games and movies never seemed to put Broly above SSJ2 so people Who Really Care About Power Levels filed LSSJ at exactly .3563769 as strong as SSB.

There's going to be some event that derails the tournament and nobody gets erased.

Except the jobber universes like 9 and the robot universe that nobody cares about.

Cell was awesome because he did ALL of the bullshit the heroes did...to the heroes. Running away and hiding power levels, powering up ridiculously in a short time, letting people get away and power up to fight him, etc. He didn't have as much personality as Freeza, but he was still fun.

A lot of how Cell's personality *could be* if revived comes from having him as your trainer in Xenoverse, and he's one of the best trainers because he's so hilarious. He would be a little different than Freeza since he's less of a dick, but he's also more egotistical, somehow, which has the poetential to be hilarious.

Xenoverse Cell was basically Abridged Cell with Damien Clarke dialing up the smug to 11.

All the jobber universes will get erased, then we get our big showdown with Goku and Jiren before the tournament goes off the rails, and then everyone turns against Zen-oh/Grand Priest.

Jedah posted:

But what difference would it make if they turned on Zen-Oh/Grand Priest? Angels can turn back time, so as long as one of them doesn't get killed, they could just rewind time back to safety. Then Zen-Oh could just erase any troublemakers on the spot, before they even had the opportunity to start throwing punches. They're in a checkmate situation.

Goku using the Super Dragon Balls to wish back the deleted universes seems like the most likely ending.

Who's to say that the Angels don't join in on the rebellion? We've seen at least one distraught over the erasure of their universe.

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.

It's probably all based on some grand concept of divine balance/karma that even the highest of gods are beholden to. A lot of Eastern settings are based around this.

There is roughly a zero percent chance of this happening.

I will be stunned if this doesn't end with Goku just teaching Zeno not to erase universes anymore and then we move onto another villain-focused arc.

Yeah the fact that the Blue Kaioken hosed him up make sense cause he's stacking like three booster forms at once.

SSB Kaioken x10 might, since he never did it again after Hit.

Yeah but in the main timeline they were obsessed with 1v1 for some reason. I think, not counting fusion because it definitely doesn't count, we didn't have anything but 1v1 battles until Goku Black + Zamasu.

It's because 1v1s are easier to animate.

you do realize that dragonball was a manga first right

super has had more tag teams than anything toriyama was drawing when the manga was the main work

Things that are easier to animate are also easier to draw too. In DBZ's case you need to consider the massively increased complexity of the fight choreography adding even one person causes.

I feel really sorry for the Hyper DBZ guys, they clearly put a lot of work into their game and managed to stay under the radar enough to avoid legal action. Only for ArcSys to completely eclipse them with DBFZ.

To be fair to people not a fan of the above quotes many of them were from the 90s Funimation dub, which was terrible and rewritten to the point of butchery such as Goku's heroic "nightmare to you" speech. By contrast both Kai and Super are being translated with MUCH more care to what the original Japanese was saying, because back in the 90s the industry didn't give a poo poo.

Still no matter what you think of Funimation's dubs the Dragonball franchise has suffered from much worse, such as in the Speedy dub when King Kai had something to say about black human beings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyT68tXkctI

That "nightmare to you" speech was legit great and an unironic improvement over the original.

Universe 4 is going down next, since the only fighter we knew anything about before the tournament just got taken out. That leaves the robot universe as the last jobber universe (I think?)

Poor Vegeta though. He's never going to get a first is he? Even Gohan got to go SSJ2, even if he got benched for most of the show anyway. All Vegeta got was muscle form and that was the wrong path to take anyway

Watch as Vegeta gets SSJ4. Which looks nothing like GT's SSJ4, and is way stronger.

Bodybuilders are huge DBZ fans.

I guess i normally expect that kind of behavior from fat goons with noodle arms and not guys who can lift 600 lbs with their erections.

They said it was personal reasons. if it was C&D or something similar I think they wouldn't have called it personal.

On the other hand, if Toei decided to take legal action beyond a C&D, then TFS would be under a NDA and can't disclose the real reason.

The thing is that the Spirit Bomb isn't about power level though. It in fact explicitly isn't about power level but rather gathering power from many different sources instead. It's a move specifically designed to emphasize the idea of overcoming a single stronger foe with a technique. It is why (even though it fails 2 out of 3 times) each time it is used it is with the help of other people.

Plus, the Spirit Bomb is explicitly destroys evil. Kid Buu was pure, elemental evil so it was extra effective.

I got to play the Fighter Z beta tonight and it was frustrating at first. I might just be DarkSydePhil level incompetent but I don't think the game actually tells you how to play. After being trashed by enough high tier players I was finally paired with someone as lovely as I was and we learned together. I got to transform into Golden Freeza I got to shoot a SSJ3 kamehameha and dodge a super as 18 and do one of my own. The game's pretty fun once you learn it

Was it online multiplayer only? Arc Systems Works games usually have the best tutorials around.

All dragonball is objectively art by the literal definition.

Splitting art into "high" and "low" and "it's just entertainment shut your brain off" tiers reveals only the insecurity and immaturity of its viewer. It's a meaningless and arbitrary distinction. Read and enjoy.

It always kind of bothered me that Gohan's "signature" move is the Kamehameha. It feels like only people that trained under Master Roshi should be using that, even if he did train under Goku. The Masenko is really more fitting, especially since they gave it to Trunks.

It made sense for Gohan to use the Kamehameha after Cell to reinforce him taking up Goku's mantle, but we all know how that turned out so welp.


Manatee Cannon posted:

masenko used to be gohan's signature move up until he trained with his dad, at which point I don't think he ever used it again
