Yeah, it's Toriyama, not Toei. It's the goofiest parts of the Buu saga.

Seriously while Vegeta's BINGO dance is the greatest thing in the movie, there are just way too many things to list in that movie that made me laugh and smile. The pictures etc scream it's super serious movie, but it ain't at all. I considering Battle of the Gods one of the best DB movies actually. Up there with Bojack and Fusion Reborn.

I liked it way better than either of those movies. Easily my favorite DBZ movie made thus far. The ending fight though was a bit.... too much. I understand that they needed to really try and elevate the fighting and make it all about Goku saving the day  but Vegeta seriously steals the show hardcore.I HIGHLY recommend it. I already bought my ticket.

Just FYI, there's about a good 20+ clips of Battle of the Gods on youtube uploaded by Funimation and other companies they permit of the movie. It's gotten to the point where you can probably watch the whole drat movie with just those clips.

Yeah, Generalivan actually works for Funimation and is going to be voicing the main antagonist of Thriller Bark, Gecko Moriah, in their upcoming One Piece DVDs. I'd say it's definite that they have jobs if they're that close to Funimations studios.

It makes the user worse overall, and is pretty much a handicap.

SS3 can be good, it just needs very specific circumstances. Very specific circumstances. Also you should preferably not being fighting Buu.

Super Saiyan 3 is a flat upgrade to everything, the only drawback is how quickly it drains the user's stamina (or Fusion time in the case of Gotenks, who never seemed too bothered by how taxing the form was). It's a bad form to use against Buu, considering his impossibly high survivability and regeneration. Matching Buu was a losing battle, you had to outmatch him for a full battle (like Gohan) or be able to just dust him into oblivion (like Vegito). Super Saiyan 3 wasn't a big enough boost to be able to do the latter and the users weren't seasoned enough in its use to last long enough to do the former (assuming Gotenks could even do that).

For example, Goku could have easily gone Super Saiyan 3 against Majin Vegeta, oneshotted him, and hen Majin Buu would never have been revived and killed billions of people. But, you know, I guess the God of the Universe telling you that the fate of existence is more important than your egos isn't enough of a hint for Goku and Vegeta.

If there's one thing you can say for sure about Vegeta, it's that he's not one for rolling over and giving up against impossibly stronger opponents. SS3 Goku vs Majin Vegeta probably would have ended with Goku running out of time and poofing back to the afterlife. Vegeta would have been so mad.

I never quite got how Goku going Super Saiyan 3 somehow made his ghost-time run out quicker as well. Did he have like a set amount of energy he could use or something? It's obviously an arbitrary cap for the narrative but the justification was off to me.

It cuts Gotenk's fusion time in half too, so it's apparently just so god drat draining it affects metaphysical timers too. Truly something the greatest student of the man who created the Kaio Ken would make.

The way I took it, SSJ3 was a form that was never intended to be used in the living world anyway. We see the transformation itself is taxing when you're not used to the form, and the energy drainage is max. Over a long fight it just isn't ideal. I actually like the idea of this kick rear end form that ends up being useless since it was never meant for the living anyway.

My favorite part of SSJ3 is how Goku's initial transformation threatens the entire planet.

It's also kinda crazy finding out how some effects you might take for granted seem to take up a bunch of time in comparison to cooler stuff.

Ah drat it. I forgot about it. Also in regards to TFS next episode should before Labor Day. Can't wait to see Piccolo's/Cell's fight. That was pretty cool because Piccolo tricks Cell into explaining things just so he can buy time to regain his arm. It's hilarious because it's the heroes who let the enemies power up/transform.

If anybody's keeping up with the currently-airing DB Kai, they just started the Goku/Vegeta rematch fight. Next episode: Buu. Although, beyond saying it exists, I'm not sure what there is to talk about. DB Online and TFS and "How dumb are powerlevels, right?" are more interesting for discussion.

I will say, rewatching the Mecha Freeza bit in DBA, am I the only one who kinda wanted to see the Z-fighters try and hold out against Freeza and Cold? It would basically have been them vs Vegeta and Nappa again, but gently caress, DBZ was generally more interesting early on anyway. You could have had the weaker fighters squaring off against Freeza's goons or an elite or two, while Piccolo and Vegeta tried to hold off Freeza or Cold - Cold would make more sense, have him square off against them in his lesser form for giggles while they wait for Goku to show up. Then Goku shows up (or maybe Piccolo dies and Gohan goes Super Saiyan?) and ices Freeza, but then Cold transforms and actually does poo poo. I dunno, sounds neat. Not to vomit my fanfiction onto SA or anything.

We know something pretty close happens in the original timeline where Goku teleports and fights/eventually defeats Cold and Freeza. I'd imagine it was a lot like the guys vs Nappa except no one died before Goku got there.
