Nappa killed half the cast of Dragonball on his own including Piccolo.

Serious post I always thought of the Nappa battle as Toriyama saying 'yeah these characters will never really be relevant again moving forward' with respect to the ones that died. Piccolo sort of being the exception. Gohan still sucks though and I don't get why people like him.

I liked Gohan all the way through, especially his fight with Super Buu. He was like the coolest poo poo at that point when you're a kid and you've watched this pink bubble gum man run roughshod over the whole cast and the character you've seen through all of DBZ loving wrecks him. Then Bubble Gum man absorbs people and then Vegeto happens and the Buu Saga is the best.

Takao Koyama wrote movies 1-13 and is a member of Sukyo Mahikari.

he also dislikes beerus because he's not as "scary" as Broly.

quote:

After much hard work, I was unable to come up with an opponent stronger than Broli, and fell into a rut where I made him appear three times.
That is to say, there’s the matter of questioning the idea of Broli as the strongest. As you are well aware, vehement opinions on the subject have been flying back and forth on this message board, as well as a variety of [other] websites.

For this time, Goku’s opponent, designed by Toriyama-sensei, was even a God of Destruction.
In the world of Dragon Ball Z, that’s a setting where even Broli, before the God of Destruction, would face a gap like that between a Yokozuna and the very bottom of the sumo ranks. That Broli, reduced to a pushover.

Only, from the impression I got of the character on the screen, Broli was scarier, no contest. Am I the only one who found that Broli looked overwhelmingly frightening? Or am I just biased towards my own creation?

Any more than this would become a spoiler, so I’ll hold off on it, but Noppo would like to hear the impressions of the Broli fans….

World's Strongest, Dead Zone, Cooler's Revenge, Tree of Might, and Bojack were pretty good. Super Android 13 wasn't bad.

Well, at least we know there's some people out there who agree with him. Namely, the Heroes team. Because goddamn they love Broly a lot. Not only does he get SS3, not only does he get SS4, he also gets a powered-up Super Saiyan 4 for a mission in Heroes. Because we can't pile up enough forms. Can't wait for LSSGSS4 Broly.

Toriyama has a thing for making the baddest dudes look the most unassuming. Both Freeza and Cell had their final forms be the most sleek and humanoid. Vegeta was shorter than Nappa. Buu's first form was a fat baby and his last form was a little kid. And not only is Beerus not physically intimidating but his attitude is lazy and immature. In fact, final forms that get big and buff specifically backfire a bunch of times, Trunks's buff mode is too slow and Freeza's buff mode is hilariously inefficient.

I like to think (and this is probably stupid) that when characters attack in DBZ they're effectively enveloped by their Kii, meaning even an attacking character has some level of defense. When they're calm they don't have any defense up at all.

So when Cell is in the beam struggle with Gohan he still has some rudimentary level of defense for the back attack, but when Goku gets shot by the ring he doesn't. We know from the earlier Final Flash that Vegeta /can/ do enough to actually hurt Cell as long as he doesn't see the attack coming so it seems reasonable that the Big Bang attack should do /something/ to Cell.

Yeah the TFS ranking videos come out in the afternoon. So today's is up now.

As for the latest episode of Super, I was a little disappointed with "that place" that Whis sends Vegeta/Goku to. It was about 10 seconds of "Oh noes I can't do anything' and then immediately Vegeta going "Wait if I do this specific thing that we don't really bother with at all, magically I can move fine and this is no longer a problem'.

If there was SOME foreshadowing for it, like Whis telling him off for how he managed his ki or something, that would at least make more sense. It's just really jarring as is.

Unless there was something, but it was like a month ago so I forgot. :shobon:

yeah whis has been like "ugh you guys need to stop leaking your ki and control it better" a few times, so there was a little bit of buildup to that

honestly its going to be really weird if we see dbz characters learn to contain their energy aura stuff and only villains glow anymore

Easy money. They've gone on record saying ResF isn't very good, especially compared to BoG. It might snag third place but there's a good chance it'll rank lower.

edit2: Apparently it is, actually, a johrei thing - Sukyo Mahikari is an offshoot of the original cult that practiced the healing hands thing. Guys, if you don't know anyone who's into it, johrei is the dumbest poo poo. It surprises me not even a little bit that the creator and #1 fan of Broly is a practitioner.

The only bad thing about Wrath of the Dragon is Goku winning the big fight, and not Trunks and Tapion teaming up somehow. Otherwise I'd say it's one of the better of the 13 original DBZ movies.

I agree. Maybe it's just childhood nostalgia but I felt the first two (even maybe the third and possibly fourth, though TFS has already done those two) were a cut above the crap. Starting probably with Lord Slug and especially the first Cooler move they fall into a generic formula and become hard to watch.

Personally, I don't see why metal Cooler is so poo poo upon. The animation is bad but kids rarely notice that stuff, and the Vegeta/Goku metal Cooler fight has some of the best fight choreography in the entire series.
