Well, "eight" is "hachi" and "nine" is "kyu". I don't see how lip flap sync would be the difference here.

Vintimus Prime posted:There is also the point he made of, well if I kill Buu now, I'm still dead and will be back in the spirit world in less than 24 hours, Vegeta is gone, Gohan is gone, so these kids like it or not would be the future hope of the world. Let the living defend the living world. For someone who is always craving a good fight, it's an interesting take. Something changed with him during those 7 years. Besides, it's not like Goku is 100% certain he'd be able to beat Buu by himself. Even later on when he really tried, Goku needed Vegeta to buy the time to build up full power (which failed but that's meta-knowledge). But fusion gives such a huge boost that it would certainly exceed even his SSJ3 power. I don't think Goku could have predict how goofy Gotenks would be.

Seemed reasonable to me. Goku tried his absolute best using a single-shot trick and it failed to finish Perfect Cell. Even with a Sensu he still doesn't have enough to beat Perfect Cell straight up (unless he can think up another trick where he can unload his full power at an undodging Perfect Cell).

He loses, yeah, but according to the Official DBZ Power Level Rules, he wouldn't even be able to scratch her if the gap in their powers were huge. And the moment 18 got serious, she basically manhandles Vegeta. She was basically playing around up to the point where she decides to go and break Vegeta's arm (and then his other arm).

New Leaf posted:My biggest problem with the Death Battle was that Superman was ready and willing to blow up the loving PLANET at the end. He presumably had to know the consequences of attacking Goku like that would be, and "Man of Steel" jokes aside (I love that loving movie and will defend it forever), he never would have taken that route. I think he would have allowed himself to die before blowing up the planet. And I know the whole point is that it is a "death" battle, but THAT is a Superman "weakness" that was not explored- putting the lives of others before his own. Of course Supes was allowed to go blow up the planet but we don't let Goku blow up the solar system and then teleport somewhere else.

Blue Star posted:I know wuxia has been a thing for centuries, but I'm talking about things like glowing blue/yellow energy beams that characters shoot from their hands and what-not. It seems weirdly modern. This isn't some pressing mystery that I want answered immediately; it's just interesting. Ki is part of Chinese wuxia for a long time. The modern codifier is Jin Yong and in one of his stories, there's a martial art that basically lets you use ki like a lightsaber but from six fingers at a once. This was serialized from 1963 to 1966 so it's a pretty old story element.

He was raised in the woods by a monkey alien and a woman who lived in the mountains before she moved to the woods.

I take suggestions and go outside my comfort zone a lot, I iust don't have the time to watch literally everything there is or any desire to. Also I watch other things than anime. It's not like I've even watched Attack On Titan myself here (although I may in the future). I'm pointing out that if you're saying things like "I won't watch My Little Pony out of principle" (and I haven't watched this either) then you don't really have the right to say things like: quote:Also I think Dragon Ball, One Piece, Jojo's and Fist of the North Star are like the only good Shonen series You've basically made a claim that shows with "little high school girls" sucks without actually having watched any of the ones considered good!

New Leaf posted:I've always liked that, too. He does keep yelling about being stronger and stronger during the first movie. Who the gently caress knows what happened when Gohan was able to beast him solo in the second movie, though, unless Broly had de-powered a bit in the interim.. I can't imagine Gohan was any stronger then than the first time they fought, and he certainly didn't have a numbers advantage. I thought Gohan was only SS1 in the first movie and had SS2 in the second?

Prison Warden posted:Just been rereading my manga copies of the end of the Piccolo/start of the Saiyan Saga and, aside from weird dumb translation choices and Piccolo's bizarre speech patterns, the weirdest thing is just how quickly the transition from "Dragonball" to "Dragonball Z" material is. One chapter everyone is happy because Goku has beaten Piccolo, he flies off vowing revenge and Goku turns down becoming God to fly off to celebrate his new marriage. Then, next loving page, it's Raditz's space pod crashing down to Earth. It's a real shame that the anime became the stereotypical drawn out anime, because god drat the manga's pacing is loving lightning fast, so good. Goku actually says he needs only _10 seconds_ to make a spirit bomb during his fight against Vegeta. Goes to show how much the anime dragged things out.

That part, Piccolo is actually wrong though. Gohan himself is pretty certain he has the power Goku believes in but was afraid of giving in to his rage. Not that Goku was right either but it's not like Gohan wasn't ready to fight either, he just isn't going to relish it.

Vegeta being stronger than Goku is pretty much the wish of a great number of fans as well as the animation teams. It's the reason why they added filler in the Buu Saga where Vegeta gets to beat up Goku as well as Vegeta getting a super out-of-nowhere boost to surpass Goku in BoG. It's appreciated fanservice but fanservice nonetheless. I don't like SS3 very much though (except in Fusion Reborn because it was a nice fight) so I like that Vegeta took regular Super Saiyan (I honestly feel SS2 is still a regular Super Saiyan compared to the freak transformation SS3 is) to a higher level, one-upping Goku using Goku's own method from the Cell Games.

Condiv posted:lol that's just wishful thinking and you know it Since everyone is so gungho happy about using anime stuff to prop up Vegeta, then why are the multiple places where Goku directly gets a second wind (e.g., just before Kaio-ken x20) because he thinks about his family and especially Chi-chi being ignored? The Goku is a bad person meme was funny but it's being run into the ground AND is being taken seriously, making it less and less funny because it's no longer tongue-in-cheek.

projecthalaxy posted:Goku forced his terrified nonconsenting 11 year old to fight an unstoppable bioandroid to the death before consciously willingly abandoning his whole family for seven years because that's how much Goku loves his family. It's amazing how you can spin things. You could just as easily say: Goku depended on his son Gohan, who he directly saw his potential while training, to defeat a monster Goku himself could not defeat. This is in accordance to Gohan's own claims that he wanted to protect the Earth and his friends as said to both Piccolo and Goku. or Goku, realizing the wisdom of the gods telling him that he seems to be a magnet for Earth-destroying weirdos, decides to stay dead after his heroic sacrifice to save the Earth yet again and retires to his well-deserved heaven.
