I never liked Future Trunks.

I always thought Bulma and Vegeta hooking up was dumb but Trunks was a badass.

Endorph posted:

also all ssjs besides goku were lame. it should have just been his thing, and you could still write the rest of the story the exactly the same because there's never a point where he isn't way stronger than every other saiyan

Yeah I always thought if Vegeta had just come out and killed Android 19 by being Vegeta instead of having some flimsy excuse to be super saiyan it would have been cooler.

It's because Bulma's hair is blue and Vegeta's Hair is black and Purple is a dark shade of blue and a light shade of black. :geno:


Fake Edit: I know the above isn't true. You don't need to correct me.

Vegeta had red hair in his intro and red+blue=purple.

As much as I'd love to beat Raditz as SSJ9Dende, 50 bucks is still a lot for a dragonball game, even if it does look like one of the better ones.

Then again, I bought Taiketsu for GBA so at the very least Xenoverse couldn't be TOO disappointing.

The DLC looks like some triple a bullshit but that's the videogame industries fault.

Ultimate Gohan might have been the most pointless powerup in the entire series. The only reason I can give it was to power up Buu and then to make Vegito seem all the more badass.

Future Trunks owning the poo poo out of Frieza and King Cold is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series as well as his future fight against the androids. He's sort of lame in Xenoverse though.

Bardock's first movie is also really rad and it's a shame they couldn't just let him die in a blaze of glory like a true saiyan.

The first time I ever saw DBZ was when I woke up at 6 in the morning and flipped on kidsWB and was greeted to Dodoria's pink ugly self throwing energy blasts at Krillin and Gohan while they tried to escape with Dende and for whatever reason I thought it was the coolest thing. I must have watched the Raditz to Ginyu loop three or four times before I even knew about the other sagas, let alone DragonBall.

I want just Toriyama to bring back Future Trunks. Why does he never visit? Outside of movies? Literally all his friends are in the other universe.

Theres a psp game where Buu makes his way into his timeline and he has to bring everyone from the main one over to beat him.

Unfortunately since fighting Buu over and over again would be boring you spend most of the game fighting clones of good guys which is anime filler level writing.

Was it a joke? I mean powering up to it was played up as super epic and the first shot of it is meant to be badass.

It was at least impracticable enough to never accomplish anything. Both of the major villains before Buu were defeated after entering their final form by someone going super saiyan(and then A LEVEL BEYOND) but even the weakest Buu fought evenly with SSJ3 Goku. Thematically it was a way of showing that someone already figured out how to super saiyan harder than last time and it wasn't gonna cut it.

Honestly, all the SSJ transformation past the first one were kind of boring and, in retrospect, kind of a mistake.

Yeah each subsequent super saiyan after Goku was lamer than the last. Future Gohan dies for future Trunks? Alright I can buy it. Vegeta gets...angry? Gohan trains or some poo poo? Then Goten and Trunks inherit it from their dads?
