Seeing Thousand Hands die like that was traumatizing enough to make Goku go Super Saiyan, so clearly death still has weight even when you can revive people.

Also the last time he died he chose to just... stay dead for like eight years, and while he probably won't try that again maybe it's best not to take the chance.

Why would a boy who grew up in isolation and who every time he experienced death had it reversed with no consequences fear death? Fear of death isn't instinctual, it's a socially learned reaction, mostly learned through the grief death of those around you causes but partly learned from the greater society, like media. Goten wouldn't have any of that, because every time death entered his life it was reversed and he isn't subject to society for most of his life, living in relative isolation with Chi Chi.

This is a viewpoint only you share. Take my advice:
Please stop doubling down.

I mean, poo poo, they went to Namek specifically to get their cheat death button back and Goku still flipped the gently caress out when Krillin died for a second time.

If you take into account that upon getting revived, said cheat death button decided to IMMEDIATELY ask to get teleported in the way of imminent death again, you can see how Goku could be upset.

Like jesus christ, just lock Piccolo back in the Mafuba pot and toss him inside a vault.

Not to mention that Earth Dragon Balls couldn't revive someone for a 2nd time, and the Namek Elder had died of natural causes too. At that point in time Krillin was super dead till they exploited a loophole in Earth Dragon Balls

I imagine because it's not really easy to fit in. There's no clear place for Black to get a second upgrade pacing-wise.

It helps smooth the power curve a little. Makes it so black isn't capable of going toe to toe with Super Saiyans in his regular form.

ImpAtom posted:

Honestly the Anime pacing for this part of the arc was kind of hot garbage, and I think the manga version is actually doing a more solid job keeping the relative strength of characters consistent, for whatever that is worth in dragonball. Vegeta fights Black with both of them in Super Saiyan on relatively even terms. Vegeta busts out SSB first and nearly kills the poor bastard. Black is healed up by Zamasu and (maybe) gets a Zenkai out of the bargain at which point he will go SSB to be able to compete with the top level form.

Honestly better than him fighting on par with Super Saiyan 2, getting randomly stronger for no reason to be able to fight on par with SSB in his base form, then Rose makes him stronger, but Vegeta gets stronger after going back to the present etc etc.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
Yeah the fact that they took 3 trips back and forth to the future kind of shot the arc's pacing to hell. Dunno why they didn't have Goku actually pack some senzus and have a more extended brawl.

I honestly love that this turned into a meme.

It's funny though, whenever I hear these lines I try to replace them with Tenkaichi 3 ones. To me that scene was always "You mean Krillin?!" or something like that over and over.

If Gohan hadn't killed the Cell Juniors do you think they would have eventually grew up to become full fledged Cells? Would they have stayed blue or would the have become green over time? Would they have been able to have their own children, all named Cell the Third?

They have Goku DNA so they would have stayed short for 15 years until having a massive growth spurt and becoming the size of their father.

Would a resurrected and turned good Perfect Cell not be the perfect person to add to the universe 7 team?

He would be able to go golden, ssb and kaioken.

Hit's time stopping abilities don't give a poo poo about how powerful you are though. That and whatever he did to ghost himself so Goku couldn't hit him.

Also how could he go SSB without hair. :colbert:

Well in Xeno 2 if you get Cell as your mentor, one of his missions has you fighting an Imperfect Cell that's explicitly one of Cell's children...
