Oh god, I can see it now.

How did Vegeta beat up Beerus? Super Saiyan Rage.

How was SSJ Goku able to fight on-par with Frieza? His initial form was SSJ Rage.

To be entirely fair that's really not inaccurate- anger has always been the key thing to a SSJs power. Goku just doesn't have a whole lot of it in him because he's weird, and with Vegeta it's never the right kind of anger.

Emotions are the core of their power. They just keep forgetting that and focusing on it as a technique which doesn't work as well.

It'd be really neat if they rectonned that to be the case. Gohan awoke SSJ Rage back against Cell, then never again. It'd explain why his SSJ2 was so much stronger than everyone else.

his ss2 wasn't stronger than everyone else's, vegeta even says goku and himself are stronger in the buu saga

the thing where saiyans get stronger with anger has been a thing forever and there's nothing to retcon about that

This is probably going to apply mostly to me, but the is the reason the chichi and goku sex jokes got to me is basically because in my role as a learning disability nurse I've had to research the law on mental capacity tests around consent to sex, which in the uk is a simple test wherein the person must know the mechanics of the act, that the act can make you get stds and that vaginal intercourse can get women pregnant. If you don't pass the bits relevant to the sex act then you legally lack the capacity to consent to sex as an adult.

So first of all the show makes a lot of uncomfortable rape jokes which they eventually walk back a bit on by saying that goku is fine with it all, but then they reach the end of the goten episode (which dragged on the subject way too long) and goku explicitly only finds out when chichi gets pregnant that sex makes you pregnant.....yeah.



Intellectually I know it's not really relevant, but it's very uncomfortable

Goku thought marriage was food.

For the uninitiated to the deepest lore that Online has willed us: Buu found one of Mr. Satan's porno mags, wanted a family, and then made that family after some random Time Patroller fed him a bunch of food that was found on the ground.

That's why you can play as a Majin in Online and the Xenoverses.

So what you're telling me is that Mr. Satan helped birth an entire race of hyper-powerful magic users, whose 'father' was basically on his own tier in the entire universe only surpassed by the God of Destruction.

Satan Corps should be an alternate name for the Majin.

Hey now, they did resolve that love triangle, where Futrue Trunks and Future Mai went to an alternate future also populated by Alternate Future Mai and Alternate Future Trunks so Adult-In-A-Child's-Body Mai and Actual Child Trunks no longer have competition!!

Dragon Ball Lore Deep Tracks that Super should cover:

- Buu ethnogenesis
- Krillin becoming Turtle School Master
- Someone wishing that all humans had enough Saiyan heritage to go Super Saiyan
- Android 9
- Dabura has a grandpa, sister, and brother-in-law/nephew who all do evil poo poo for the hell of it


Needs Luffy as the final stage.

The perfect bookend to this would be Future Trunks & Mai burying the dead bodies of their Alternate-Future selves under a bridge a la Futurama.

Sadly, it isn't the case. The Majin race lost power after every generation, to the point that the current members of it are no more powerful than the other playable races in Heroes/Online/Xenoverse for the sake of balancing.

They can still retake all of their power temporarily through Purification, becoming literally a second KId Buu, but apparently that has an actual risk of making them regress to Kid Buu's mentality as well.

the Pure Form transformation for Majins wouldn't be hated if it used your clothing or hairstyle or face or any aspect of your character (other than skin color). in a game that's based around customizing your dude and unlocking more powers and outfit parts to customize them more, turning into literally kid buu makes all of it pointless

but if it just used your clothes and your hairstyle i don't think people would really complain

Can I just say, I loving adore that Freeza some how surpasses God Ki with regular old normal Ki just because he's absurdly powerful.

And that was through just self teaching. Seriously imagine what Goku could manage if he swapped bodies with Freeza. He would never be stopped.

I don't think he surpassed it, his energy blast did gently caress all to Goku, he was flat immune to them

It's his physical strength that helped get the job done up to a point.

What I wanted to see what Golden Frieza take on Fat Buu, and watch him writhe in frustration at his endless bubblegum regrow BS
