Yokai Watch never took off in the US, Pokemon has basically eternally dominated monster trainer stuff here aside from Tomagachi's brief reign.

We're getting to the point where Pokemon apparently took a design idea from Yokai Watch (the Rotom dex) for its new series. He was fine in the game, but it's actively making the anime worse which is sad.

Add the fact that their Supreme Kai is sporting Robin colors and what may or may not be his Kibito equivalent is a shadowy figure and it seems both blatant and intentional.

Secret truth is this is the 'Future' Trunks from Xenoverse.

Xeno Trunks outright states otherwise though. In fact, he's really, really angry at Time Kai for saying they're the same.

He goes on a gigantic rant about how he isn't GT Trunks and it's hilarious. Dude really hates his other timeline self.

Why didn't he use it on the androids if it was so great? When 18 was beating Vegeta's rear end he really could have spoke up. Kind of a dick move, Tien.

I'm pretty sure Tien enjoyed seeing Vegeta beaten to a pulp.

Goku could certainly trash Snyderverse Supes, at the very least.

It depends because, like Goku, Superman's power fluctuates based on the story and also if he decides to go Super Saiyan.

Even top tier Superman got owned by The Antimonitor, which puts him below Goku in terms of raw power. Superman has never been able to destroy the entire universe.

Okay, let's be real here. The Neo TriBeam would kill Future Gohan.

The only reason it likely wouldn't kill Imperfect Cell is because the dude has crazy regen and the insane Freezer biology.

Like, yeah, Tien normally cannot punch that high above his level- but the Neo Tri Beam kicked the poo poo out of Semi-Perfect Cell, kept him from being unable to do anything in return. In fact, we know it was powerful because he let Cell fly up towards him before putting him right the gently caress back down again. It couldn't kill the fucker, but it basically would have wasted anything less powerful than him.

Anything less powerful than him includes all of the Androids and a good number of the rest of the cast. And Piccolo, for that matter. For comparison on how effective it was, Piccolo couldn't do poo poo to Imperfect Cell after his gorging, and 18 and 16 were powerless against SemiPerfect Cell.

Give credit where it's due, Tien knows how to suicide attack.

The neo tri beam explicitly didn't hurt Cell at all, just slowed him down. In gamer terms, Tien could make him lose a turn but always did zero damage

After reading all of the Z part of Dragon Ball again, I can definitively say that Gotenks vs Super Buu is the best fight, with Goku and friends vs Vegeta in a close second, while Satan befriending Buu is the best series of chapters overall

The opposite actually. The manga version makes it clear Cell is getting hurt by it, he's just regen-tanking it. You can see him look roughed up as he's charging through.

And yet Goku apparently can't survive being near magma, while Supes swims through the planet's mantle for fun.

As much as people like to argue about this, the fact is there's no real way to compare the two. They operate in different universes with different rules which change all the time.

And anyway the Flash would clown them both.
