And, IIRC, the Demon King Piccolo and Ma Junior share the same memory and personality. Freeza survived Goku's kill blow and was killed by Trunks. Kid Buu did die, but was almost immediately revived as Uub so that could get a pass. There was that one guy he fed so much energy to he exploded

Vegeta killed all three of those, and Ginyu wandered away as a frog then probably died on Namek. He did technically kill that frog though by putting it in Ginyu's mortally wounded body.

After he trains with Kami, he only kills Yakon and Kid Buu.

Man...I am so weirded out by the insane Dragon Ball revival of the last few years. The franchise was more or less over and done, other than a handful of video games, but then suddenly we get American Dragon Boxes, two theatrical releases, a whole mess of higher-budget video games, one of which included a remaster of an ancient OVA. This series has some insane legs.

One thing I always loves about Frieeza was that he had a poo poo took of mooks so people besides Goku could have fights they could actually win. This movie looks like it's going to have plenty of that, can't wait to see Roshi ruin some alien assholes. I wonder what Frieeza's reaction will be to seeing Trunks.

I just got back into it a month ago, the only thing I knew was Battle of the Gods came out and Dragon Ball Abridged did that bardock sequel that totally took me by surprise. Now there's an even bigger extended universe and glazing over things like the Dragonball MMO and Dragonball Heroes is just surreal. Super Sayain 4 Broly is like official.

It's probably less than what a x2 Kaioken would do.

WickedHate posted:Which is also as official as Broly is. You know, looking at the "official" pictures of SS4 and SS3 Broly, I can't help, but wonder why he is still buff. The buff stuff is the result of the Legendary Super Sayian Transformation, not just him being him. He should be slim Broly in those forms.

Because no one remembers or gives a gently caress about slim Broly, all they care about is roid monster Broly.

It's not like slim Broly had a personality anyway. GIANT rear end in a top hat JUGGERNAUT is the totality of his existance. It's awesome.

Xibanya posted:So Vegeta's character in the androids/cell arc really bugs me. It seems like Toriyama himself was like "what is Vegeta's personality again? Oh yeah, he's obsessed with challenging strong guys and beating them!" and then he went from there. When I watch the Saiyan and Namek episodes it's like I'm seeing a totally different character. I'll explain. Page or two late on this, but I completely disagree. Vegeta until his sacrifice seems to have two personalities. There's extreme arrogant braggart mode in the Saiyan saga and parts of the Cell saga, along with Majin Vegeta, and more humble scheming mode in the other parts. The difference in the two happens depending on whether he is or thinks he is the strongest on the battlefield. There's not much difference between Saiyan Saga Vegeta and Super Vegeta if you think about it, and definitely no difference between Super Vegeta and the Vegeta who thinks he's a Super Saiyan against Freeza. However, when Goku is a Super Saiyan, 18/Perfect Cell just kicked his rear end, or Freeza is around, he's humbled and plays a bit better with others. It's actually a pretty consistent characterization that stays around until his sacrifice in the Buu Saga, where afterwards he's basically a silent brooding good guy. Also not sure how I feel about super Freeza. Kinda cool in a campy sense.

Yeah, it's actually slim Broly that's the one who can never say anything but "KAKAROT!" and scream. It isn't until he goes all super-muscleman that he has any personality, and a lot of his lines are pretty great. In the first movie he basically spends his entire rampage against the crew enjoying every last second of it and mocking them constantly.

I could go into a long, dumb rant on the hypothetical justifications of such a thing and the nature of "Legendary" Super Saiyan, but I think I'll just leave it at "his power is maximum" unless you really want me to.

Calling it: The movie is going to end with Goku and Vegeta flat on their backs and awaiting the killing blow. A grinning Freeza lifts his arm skyward and begins to conjure a death ball... Only for a clawed hand to grab his wrist from offscreen. Beerus pulls his arm behind his back, puts him on one knee and holds him there while Whis slaps him until he finally stops screaming things like "UNHAND ME" and "I'LL KILL YOU!" The final shot of the film is an ashamed Freeza doing kata alongside Goku and Vegeta. Hobo Siege fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Mar 3, 2015 |

Parrotine posted:drat, talk about a lazy power-up I think it's not a matter of Toriyama being lazy this time. It seems like they're really hyping up Frieza as a rival to Goku and Vegeta, and giving him access to the same power-up they've had for 20 years is a pretty good way of showing that.
