I know there's goofy extended-univerese stuff that explains where most of the characters are, like Gohan making his own book and stuff. Is there anything that explains what Goten goes on to do?

So I just finished reading Dragonball.. I thought Goku had some kind of adventures with Chi-Chi after beating Piccolo, but it just kinda ends with him flying away with her in tow. I know I've seen some video of him and Chi-Chi meeting Grandpa Gohan. Was that just anime filler?

Ytlaya posted:One thing that bugged me some about the Cell Saga is how Goku was only slightly weaker than Cell after choosing not to train anymore after the initial less than a day in the time chamber. If he had decided to train more, even if he didn't reach SSJ2 he still probably could have made enough of a difference to defeat Cell (he had more than a year left in the time chamber). Actually, why didn't Vegeta/Trunks achieve the "full power super saiyan" thing prior to the Cell Games? They figured out what Goku/Gohan did after they came out of the chamber and then supposedly went back in themselves to train, so I'm surprised they didn't also train in the same way. It was also kind of strange that Gohan, who should have been at least as strong as Goku in his SSJ1 form, was getting owned by Cell (whereas Goku could fight evenly with him until getting worn out). Then again, DBZ has never really cared much about consistency. while we're on the topic of cell one thing that bothers me is that yeah, goku basically fights him to a standstill then loses by putting all his bets on the kamehameha finishing him off. cell wins but barely. then he fights gohan and after gohan goes ssj2 he goes MWA HA actually i was holding back this entire time! i mean he still gets chumped but does that mean he was loving around with goku the whole time? is that why he was encouraging goku to take a senzu bean, bbecause he was still actually holding back? idgi i mean it kind of makes goku's whole fight meaningless

Yes, cell was holding back against goku. Goku could not have beaten perfect cell

# ? Oct 12, 2015 16:43 |

The point of the fight was so that gohan could see cell's fighting style and get a feel for cell's power. Remember all those conversations where gohan is convinced that goku is holding back because he's comparing gokus power to his own.

It doesn't make Goku's fight meaningless, because it sets up how loving strong Gohan must be when he could have done everything Goku could have done.

My favorite cell sage scene is goku powering up after coming out of the time chamber and everyone quivering in awe while gohan is just standing there, confused about why everyone is so impressed
|
# ? Oct 12, 2015 16:59 |
eh i more meant scenes like where cell is panting for breath but smirking because he knows he's winning don't really seem to match up with him revealing he was actually holding back this whole time i get that goku couldn't win, that's pretty obvious or maybe i'm just griping, who gives a poo poo really

I think the point of the Goku fight was two-fold: give the audience what they've been waiting for and establish Cell is above Goku thus, later on, establishing that Gohan has surpassed his father when he beats Cell.

Yorkshire Tea posted:A couple of reasons. Basically the Hyperbolic Time chamber is like being tortured for a year, Goku and Gohan come out when Goku feels they're sufficiently strong and staying in might hurt them more than it helps by exhausting them. When Vegeta goes in the second time he gains almost nothing because his body is already completely exhausted from the first time. Revival of F sortof calls back to this when Whis says that the biggest thing that holds Vegeta back from being as strong as Goku is that he's unwilling to take rest when he needs it so he always gets less out of training. It's like if you tried to revise for an exam for an entire week without sleeping. You'd do great maybe the first and second day, but by the third the guy who's been getting his regular 8 hours is just going to absorb more when he does work. Eh, but he could just go into the hyperbolic time chamber and chill out in the hot tub for 2 months before beginning training in earnest. It's not like he has to spend every waking hour training in there and it's clearly possible to do things like sleep, so it's not like you're experiencing nonstop suffering. I attribute Goku stopping the training to him just being really confident that Gohan will end up going SSJ2 and winning against Cell (which, while it ended up being true, was still really dumb when considering the fact that the fate of the Earth was at stake). It does make sense that Vegeta is always worse than Goku due to overtraining, though. Regarding Gohan not fighting against Cell; even though he had psyched himself up, he's still a child and Cell is super scary and intimidating. So I don't blame him for not fighting at his full potential.

I think my biggest problem with the Cell thing is that he wasn't any more intimidating than Frieza, and Gohan didn't hold back then - plus he'd had a lot more combat experience by the time they got to Cell. It just didn't make a whole lot of sense.

Yes this was outright stated. The point that seems weird is cell clearly being exhausted by the time goku gives up and gladly eating a senzu (pretty much acknowledging he was worn out) then going well mwa ha I have yet to actually fight at my FULL strength like if that's true then why did you need a senzu and well there we go I've put more thought into it than toriyama did

Maybe Cell was saving some energy just in case he needed to blow up the Earth (he's a bad loser).

I think we should all take a moment to reflect upon the fact that Krillin and Yamcha are both demigods who could effortlessly destroy the planet and conquer worlds.

Maybe Cell wasn't fully aware of the zenkai poo poo, so after he ate the senzu bean he got one and was like "hm, I see, this must be my HIDDEN TRUE PERFECT POWER." Also I think in the DBO book, Gohan authors a textbook with do it yourself instructions on how to learn ki powers, which had previously been rare esoteric things. This is why you have hundreds of people farting around with ki powers.

Yeah, and apparently Krillin and Tien start their own martial arts schools (the New Turtle School and New Crane School respectively, I think) and Trunks/Goten start some school based around using swords. (I spent a while reading random articles on the DB wiki last night.)

Caros posted:Yeah, the thing about Trunks' super buff form is that it ups his strength to a ridiculous level (pretty close to Super Saiyan 2 levels of raw strength is Cell is to be believed) but it bleeds energy like crazy and is actually an overall speed decrease from the Super Vegeta buff form that smacks cell's second form around like a rag doll. Wasn't it that Vegeta could have bulked up as much as Trunks did, but he realized that the costs outweighed the benefits?
