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.

Was Dragon Ball Online fun? I never got to play it.

Also, if Xenoverse 2 actually runs decent on Xbone I'll get it. Burst Limit is still my favorite DBZ game but Xenoverse was almost really cool.

Burst Limit was fun, but the cutscene-interrupting-fights mechanic was dreadful.

Whenever I played with friends we just didn't use the cutscene items. I feel like a Burst Limit 2 would be stellar.

Toriyama's art style changed and he focuses less on muscle mass. Super uses him to design characters or so I presume.

Yeah Krillin is undeniably successful. He may not be rich, but he's got a hot wife, a steady job where he's basically a super hero, and he has rich friends that he's not afraid to mooch off of. And if 18 is still running that Tournament scheme with Mr. Satan, they're probably financially set for a while.

I think Bulma is the real winner of DBZ. She doesn't have to die all the time or train but gets to enjoy the lifestyle of the gods and wishes whenever she wants.

While that's true, she never put herself out there in the thick of things.


That said, I do find it kind of sweet that Toriyama always looked out for Bulma and kept her somewhat relevant well after it made sense to. No forgetting about her like Lunch.

It's amazing that all the D-listers of the group end up living pretty normal lives when each and every one of them has the power of Superman despite being painfully inadequate compared to Saiyans and the like.

Even Yamcha could end crime on their world in like a week, but instead they all get nine to fives.

Probably baseball player. Assuming their season is like American baseball they play over a hundred games a season. He could conquer a planet in a week and live a life of luxury. Say what you will, yamcha is still a good guy at the end of the day.

Yamcha, in canon, was never shown to be that much tougher than Raditz. Only in filler did he do anything that wasn't pathetic.

Again, RoF makes a point that Roshi is more powerful than him.

Yamcha would try to take over a planet and then get his lunch money stolen

A Saiyan weaker than Raditz was hypothetically intended to take over a planet, so it isn't that far fetched.

Goku was sent to Earth to conquer it as a baby, even as an ape he would be way weaker than FULL POWER Yamcha. There are clearly weaker planets out there in the universe. Yamcha could likely only conquer a weak to intermediate planet, at best.

Krillin or Tien could conquer any planet they wanted to :black101:

I'm actually curious, did Krillin ever get any stronger than he was when he fought Freeza? Or at least, did he ever get stronger than Freeza was?

We know Tien was, just by virtue of being able to hold off Semi-Perfect Cell.

I don't necessarily think Tien was stronger than Frieza. In fact, I doubt any humans were. In Tien's case, he has a move that allows him to punch waaaaaaaaaaay above his weight class, at the expense of some of his life energy. I'm a big fan of the "Krillin is the strongest" theory, and even I doubt any of the humans ever eclipsed 100% Frieza.

Krillin also has a skill that hits way, way, way above his weight class and it doesn't cost him HP to do it.

I think in Krillin's case it's less "has the highest human power level" (because powerlevels are bullshit) and more "is so skilled at manipulating ki he can do more damage than other humans with his attacks".

That fight against semi-perfect cell wasn't Tiens top power. Tien (unlike Krillin and Yamcha) never stopped training after the Cell games. He has been training straight for 7 years by the time Buu is around! Buu is able to chump all of the minor guys in one move, but Tien is able to avoid Buus Genocide attack. He is also able to deflect one of Gotenks Buus blasts, and avoid getting disintegrated instantly.

Its not much, but I think that makes him stronger than Krillin :shrug:
