going to disagree, he's got a good design, visually. Giant swole Grey Alien loving owns. His shirt came off and unleashed his tiny bit of personality which is cool too. In summary, Jiren got good baby

With all this multiverse stuff, there has to be a universe where Piccolo found Frieza before finding Nail and just got instantly murdered again mere minutes after resurrection.

Also there has to be a universe where Piccolo turns up at the same time the Frieza and Nail fight starts and they both get the poo poo beat out of them, so they wish for Kami to be transported to Namek and Kami fuzes with both of them and beats Frieza before Goku has time to fully heal

That doesn't make much sense for him to be stronger, since Piccolo just spent a week at Kai's just sitting there, but then he decided he was strong enough to fight someone way more strong than Vegeta, so who knows.

I think the power level shown was like 50,000. Which is hilarious in retrospect considering only the Ginyu Force and a Frieza could have fought him.

sassassin posted:When? Nail's power level on the ever-unreliable scouters (Namekian's are shown to manipulate their power levels) is way beyond anything Piccolo shows prior to his resurrection. He was stronger than Piccolo probably. But he was stated to be inferior to the whole Kami and Piccolo.

That scene would have lost something if Nail and Piccolo sat down to do the power level math. Or gained something depending on the type of fan you are.

He kinda deserves this. Piccolo immediately wishing to be teleported to Namek to take a swing at Frieza before they've even used the earth's dragon balls is a stupidly bad decision up there with Vegeta letting Cell eat 18, he only gets away with it all because he has the dumb luck to find a rapidly dying Nail to get some level ups out of. By rights he should have turned up and immediately turned into dog food by any of Frieza's forms.

Remind me, Piccolo fused with both Nail and Kamisama is supposed to be as strong as a super saiyan right?

He's as strong as 17, and 18 utterly wrecked a regular SSJ Vegeta of that era (who was more powerful than the original SSJ transformation). You needed their Room of Space and Time upgrades to outdo him. This is why I kind of believe Piccolo's nonsensical gains, since he gained more than anyone did exponentially by...meditating. He died, went to Kais for a week, meditated, and thought he was enough of a peer to Namek Goku to be able to help fight Freeza (and inference was that he was in that random Ginyu Force range at that point). He then trains with Goku and Gohan after merging and Gohan remarks that he's comparable to a SSJ (and he's confident that he's a peer to Vegeta now and can fight some androids just fine on his own).

Most of Piccolo's training consists of meditation and occasionally screaming at a mountain until it explodes.

I like the conceit that sure Piccolo will train with your monkey offspring and teach them new mystical techniques but the only way the slug plant man is going to make gainz is by sitting down in peaceful silence and drinking plenty of water

He almost goddamn died while on Namek and could have ruined his whole plan. I do love how the TFS this is just Krillin jumping the gun and making a spectacularly dumb wish.

Why doesn't Kami-Piccolo just spit out children like Demon King Piccolo? They could fight each other to get stronger and stronger until they can fend off any threat.

can a namekian make baby namekians at will? could one spawn a bunch of kids, fuse with them, and repeat infinitely for unending powerups?

If anything Piccolo Jr seemed stronger than Piccolo and the Cell Jrs (who are assumedly Cell's version of that considering the name) were certainly helluva strong.

Like Goku wouldn't eat him first if cannibalism was an option. Saturn Devouring His Son but it's Goku instead.

I just don't think GT has very good body language/expressions. By and large I think Super is better about this which makes it easier for me to watch when it's looking like rear end. Same goes for DB and DBZ where the body language is often really good even in badly animated episodes.

Part of GTs weird look is the colors used. They redid their whole palette from Z and it has this trend towards yellows and pinks that wasn't a thing before, and hasnt been since, but it feels very early/mid 90s. Which makes sense but dates it in a different sort of way than DB or Z we're I wonder if this was just a studio limitation like how early Batman TAS was stuck with Tiny Toons colors and had this kind of pastel blue feel due to that

Nanigans posted:GT is so monumentally ugly, Jesus gently caress. ???    However, there was an animation team in rotation, let's called it "B-Team" that either for lack of experience, skill or budget, always produced the most wonky looking episodes where nearly everyone was off-model and cheaply animated. The screencap in question is an example of it, as is the infamous clip of Vegeta reverting from his SSJ4 form. Thinking about it, nearly any and every clip I've seen used to prove how GT is uglier than sin is from episodes animated by that team. They're easily recognizable by the way they draw faces, with weirdly proportioned eyes and general lack of detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur3I3LRbmj8 Thankfully, the other animation team was more skilled, delivering consistently well animated episodes and they're the ones handling the more important moments of the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNPrTPCVMIc Both animation teams worked on Z as well, and I distinctly remember the B-Team handling of bunch of episodes during the Cell saga.
