ZenMasterBullshit posted:Cooler isn't real. Nope! A thing in shounen in general and DBZ in specific, and this is even called out specifically, kinda, in Battle of Gods, is that just knowing that another tier of power is attainable helps you train to become stronger than you could if you didn't. I think in the Android saga, the saiyans, especially Gohan, gain more power in a single year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber than they do in the three years of training beforehand.

The dark secret of the Dragonball Z universe is that there is no upper limit to power. Everyone has unlimited power but they have to justify it like a game of Calvinball. Humans just have lovely imagination.

Some humans are dogs, like the king of the planet. Edit: Prison Warden posted:Yo does the customisation for the Earthling race in Xenoverse let me make King Dog? No, unfortunately. The best you can do with earthlings and saiyans is some alien-looking skin-colours and not having a nose.

So basically they should have just told Goku about Beerus right off the bat and he would have effortlessly steamrolled everything.

I like that this explains why Gohan and Picollo didn't show up while Frezia was in the tank and fillet him. They took him off planet asap so they just had no idea where he was. Plot Hole filled.

Shame about Tagoma. I rather liked his look. Anyway Piccolo went from being around Freeza's 2nd forms level to being stronger then Freeza at his peak in a year. So I can believe that Freeza who had never even attempted to train and heighten his power can become super strong with a little training.

In manga canon they're unnamed entirely. In show canon they are unquestionably Arcosians. Case closed.

Where in the show did they say Arcosians? Genuinely curious, I thought it was ancient fanon.

LORD OF BUTT posted:Where in the show did they say Arcosians? Genuinely curious, I thought it was ancient fanon. In the show, there's a filler scene that shows a masked, robed alien species called Arcosians giving the Saiyans tech in exchange for exterminating planet's populations, which is their job under the Planet Trade Orginization. I think King Kai was telling Goku this, which is also when he said Planet Vegeta was destroyed by their version of Kami summoning astroids because they were so evil. "Arcosian" only showed up in the dub though, so it's two degrees seperate from canon.

An explanation I've heard is that King Kai was trying to avoid tempting Goku to seek Freeza out. It's not like he expected him to end up in space to find out otherwise.

...you know, between King Kai doing exactly that with regards to Beerus in Battle of Gods, and them reusing the filler joke where Tao Pai Pai mistook Gohan for Kid Goku, I'm kinda wondering if Revival of F is gonna have a dramatic driving test scene now.

Nope, but they better add Animal People, Monster/Demon People(like Ghiran and Dabura), and Androids(including not just Dr Gero style, but Dr Miu, Dr Wheelo, and Dr Raichi style Androids as well) as options for Xenoverse's inevitable sequel(along with maybe a generic Alien option as well) Also man does Dragon Ball have a lot of Mad Scientists when you think about it

Well by Monster I clearly mean Dinosaur people(I'm just lumping Ghiran there for simplicity, since that's where Piccolo's monster offspring would go as well as most of Babidi's henchmen since he'd aesthetically fit better there than with more normal Animal People) drrockso20 fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Mar 2, 2015 |

He didn't teach the other guys the Kaioken nor the Genki dama. Goku was also awful. He trained with Picolo and Gohan for years and didn't teach them those nor the instant transmission.

Two Finger posted:gotta stay relevant somehow He couldn't pronounce it. To some extent Toriyama must have known Goku was a poo poo dad. In Gohan's most dramatic fight he's wearing the getup of Piccolo and not the knockoff turtle pajamas like everyone else. In Dragonball the turtle gi looked red on introduction. I like that better than orange. Oh well.

Gohan always looked best in his Piccolo getup. If Goku was able to do introspection at all, he'd probably be a bit upset that his son was dressed up like the guy who tried to kill him. Did Demon-King Piccolo wear the same outfit? I can't recall.

Yeah, King Piccolo dressed the same except for a pinkish red cape instead of the white cape and turban when he wasn't fighting.
