Why does Hit always have his eyes closed? Did he fall asleep? Hit vs Monaka will just be the two of them unconscious.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

The writers seem really intent on showing off the cool attacks that we only saw once on DBZ (Which I like). Piccolo's stretchy arms and Special Beam Cannon, Vegeta's Galick Gun and Final Flash. I bet if Tien had made it in we'd see the return of Volleyball Fist and that four arms thing.

Theres probably numerous people on staff that all grew up with Dragonball and are huge fans.

I wonder if Goku sometimes thinks about fighting Jackie Chun and getting his rematch in since he never got to personally beat him

maybe he talks about it with Roshi

My theory is that Monaka is a mindless doll for Beerus himself to use in order to participate in the tournament (kind of like Kami did in the 23rd Budoukai) and will be about to beat Hit when it's revealed. Then he'll be disqualified and Goku will step in.

That can't happen. Goku's going in before Monaka, Beerus already said that Monaka must go last no matter what.

I don't buy for a minute that Goku couldn't have beaten Cell as he was, before going super Cell anyways. It just would have taken goddamn effort from him and he wanted to prove a point about Gohan because Goku is a moron.

Oh, I don't disagree. If he hadn't thought that Cell worked on Namek rules (destroy the head, they can't regenerate), then he would've won - his Warp Kamehameha did disintegrate the entire top part of Cell's body.

Then again, at that point I'm pretty sure Cell himself thought he worked on Namek rules, so I really can't blame Goku for not seeing that coming. After using his trump card Goku really had nothing left though, Cell was just more powerful and Goku lost the element of surprise needed to get that kind of full-power Kamehameha to hit without completely destroying the Earth trying.

Yeah, but Goku already went. Monaka can go, lose, and then they'll *mumble mumble Frost was cheating mumble mumble* and then Goku gets to go for a round 2.

But you see, that conversation actually already happened. Monaka is still going last, with Goku stepping in once Vegeta loses eventually.

How about a tournament where everybody has their power dropped to DB levels, and then Jackie Chun and Krillin crush everyone else?

Well he is able to blow up the moon. No one does anything more impressive than that until Vegeta blows up that bug planet. Roshi is legit powerful, he's just really lazy and doesn't want to get involved any more.

Anyone have any good theories on why Beerus is so desperate to keep Monaka as a trump card? Boring as to teach Goku humility or does Monaka absorb Beerus' strength or something?

I don't think Monoka has any powers. He passed out after seeing a single Kamehameha and everybody's mistaking unconsciousness for unflinching meditation.

My guess? The dude Beerus fought was Monoka's great great great grandfather from 3,000 years ago or something like that. Beerus didn't realize Grandpappy Nipples dies 2,950 years ago, and enlisted Monoka as a way to save face. Beerus wants to keep Monoka for last in the hope Goku will finish everyone off first, because if Monoka were to fight he'd instantly lose and expose Beerus's bluff.

Either he made up Monaka to get Goku/Vegeta to try harder or Monaka is dead/busy/whatever and he just grabbed some random dude to fake it.

What is the "THAT" that Krillin is referring to in the last panel here?

Like obviously Vegeta is about to fire the Final Flash and Krillin is concerned, but it almost reads like Krillin has seen the attack before.

I think it's that Krillin senses the energy Vegeta's building up and can't believe he's firing that (big gently caress off amount of energy) off on Earth.

Ah in that case never mind then. I think I was just misreading it then.

EDIT: A couple of interesting minor things I noticed in DBZ Volume 17:

1. Vegeta actually refers to Goku as Goku at one point.

2. Hercule is mentioned as being a wrestler formerly known as Mr. Satan (lol Viz).

3. Trunks The Story is garbage compared to The History of Trunks. I think it comes way too late in these manga volumes as well.

It's like if you're going to a little league game with your friend and he brings a giant gently caress-off RPG with him. Like:

"Whoa dude, you're bringing that to a little league game?"
"Yeah man, people get really riled up when their kids are playing"
"Isn't that kinda really dangerous and overkill?"
"I don't see how."


Raxivace posted:

The extra time and budget for an OVA really let them flesh out the story I guess.
I can't really imagine Trunks going Super Saiyan having the same impact without the dark, atmospheric lighting that the animated scene had.

Trunks is a super saiyan by default in the manga IIRC, the buildup to him transforming isn't a thing there.

Yeah in the manga Trunks is already a Super Saiyan. It makes Gohan's decision to knockout Trunks and fight 17 and 18 alone make even less sense than it does in the special too.

Well it makes sense in the special because Trunks would be dead weight in a fight. If he is a super Saiyan it's just dumb. Plus the whole movie is building up to that so the manga must have a completely different thrust.
