I'm just lucky she laughs everything off, or at least accepts it as being stupid. We just finished FMA: Brotherhood, so this is a bit of a step down.

Has anyone counted how many times Yamcha says "Wolf Fang Fist" in the anime? Good loving lord, it's like that's all he can talk about.

Dragonball has way better gags than Brohood did though? :confused: But yeah, Dragonball straight up started as a gag manga and Akira Toriyama was fresh off of Dr. Slump. It gradually becomes more about fighting due to the pressure he gets from just about everyone, but yeah, Battle of the Gods is the way it is because Toriyama loves him some gags.

It's a good thing Toriyama doesn't have a massive ego and could listen to what his editors etc. were suggesting because left to his own devices he produces mostly crap.

If he'd viewed Dragonball as a serious artistic endeavor/passion project and stuck to his guns it would be a largely forgotten piece about the wacky adventure (singular) of a monkey kid.

I wonder as well. After being deaged, Shu is the only one that's thankful about it, and he pointed out that he needs all the years he can get, implying his life is shorter than average.

King Dog seemed to be pretty long-lived though. Survived from well before King Piccolo all the way to the Cell Games.

You know, it's a good thing that anyone more powerful than Kami doesn't die when they use the mafuba, otherwise this training session would have gotten awkward fast.

It might depend on power relative to your target.

Goku is stronger than Zamasu by a big margin, he just can't actually kill him.

Gohan with one arm due to him taking a shot without blocking so he could rescue Vegeta still had more power than Super Perfect Cell (and was scared to release it until he got the pep talk). And out of practice one being about equal makes enough sense.
I'm not sure about this, if he really was that much stronger I don't think he'd be that hosed up from a single blast from Super Perfect Cell. Also in that last Kamehameha he literally gave everything he had, since he went straight back to base form rather than SSJ (like after Cell blew himself up). And it's not like we haven't seen weaker people killing stronger ones with ki attacks (Piccolo and Goku vs Raditz and Freeza being scared after getting hit with Kaioken Kamehameha from Goku). Or something.

I want to believe the Royal Dog Clan, after wishing to rule the world with the Dragon Balls, later found them again a long time ago and wished for immortality on behalf of President Fuhrer King Doggy and he just gets a dyejob every 20 years or so and pretends to be another dog king.

Dragon Ball characters have to actively block stronger techniques from anywhere in the same ballpark of power as them. Gohan was speeding over to protect Vegeta and didn't create a defense for that attack. It's only the movies and Toei's filler stuff where characters can just wade through and ignore attacks from characters a little weaker than them. At the greatest extension of that concept, not blocking and not powered up has Goku being near killed by a laser.

Gohan and Cell were using the same attack as each other against each other. Cell had a slight distraction in which Gohan timed finally releasing all his power.

A BIG part about the Gohan/Cell fight was that Gohan refused to use his max power during the fight because he was scared to blow up the planet by accident. When Goku finally convinced him to do so, his kamehameha overpowered SPC's.

You could always sub, but then download the inevitable rip. Click Super each week when the ep is up for the metrics but still watch it in a means that suits you best. So you're still paying for it and such but still getting it in a viable means for you.

In real life people's hair color can change as they age. Maybe purple/blue shades are determined by nutrition.

It's a weird concept, but I actually dig how Vegeks looks. His clothes are a little iffy, though. Also, I am glad we finally know what happens when you fuse Trunks with Trunks. I'm sure we were all eager to find that out.

Now where the gently caress is my Vegito/Gogeta fusion.

They retconned his hair in the flashback with Gohan though, his hair is just blue now just because.
