How old is he suppose to be? He's born year 757 and the Cell Games occur year 767. He then spent a year in the time chamber so he's 11.

Stairmaster posted:Dodoria is one of the biggest jabs the series takes at power levels. He's got a higher power level than vegeta but since he's one of frieza's guards he never fights at all and easily got wrecked by a well trained martial artist like vegeta. She lost cus she's a girl.

Well Toriyama said that in the most recent interview about Cold and Freeza since Cooler isn't canon. Goku was much stronger than Freeza when they fought. The anime made them seem more equal but it wasn't the case at all in the manga. Goku wanted to break Freeza and make him feel powerless.

crankdatbatman posted:I've never seen Cooler's Revenge, but his fifth form kind of irks me. It's established that Freeza's fourth form is his 'true' form, right? Unlike the rest of the villains in DBZ, it's established Freeza's transformations are power downs instead of power ups. So why does Cooler have a fifth form that is more powerful than his fourth? Is he basically a super Cooler in the fifth form? I'm asking because I've never seen it and maybe they explain it in the movie, but that tidbit never really sat well with me since it's a direct contradiction to Freeza's tranformations. His 5th form is a powerup that no one other than him knew. The CCG says his base form is actually his third form. Jump stated that he doesn't have lower forms like Frieza and can control his power freely in his base form.

It's really hosed up, there's zero reason for one of them not to stop it. Were they worried about getting disqualified or something (in the tournament that they don't give a poo poo about anymore)? The Kai wanted to out Babidi I believe but I've not watched it in forever.

WickedHate posted:They probably met off screen. Goku might have came back for tournaments when Goten was too young to remember, and the two sparred or something.

Esroc posted:From a certain perspective he's potentially the most powerful enemy they ever faced. As a standard Super Saiyan he's more powerful than SSj2 Gohan in the second Broly movie. The gang is lucky he never surpassed the first Super Saiyan form. An SSj3 (or 4 if you want to include it) Broly would be so mind-bogglingly powerful that he could stomp a mudhole into Buu without a second thought. Toriyama said Super Saiyan base form is the strongest in that interview linked the other day.

g0lbez posted:I get that Saiyan's are supposed to be dumb evil ruthless fuckheads but even though Goku did bump his head initially he still permanently retained his good side. It would probably make sense that Bardock himself was a bit different since Goku probably inherited his good side genetically. Yeah even initially Bardock was quoted as caring for his squad. Compared to say Raditz Nappa and Vegeta where they hated on Raditz and Nappa meant nothing to Vegeta.

From what I remember when he talked about it it showed a Saiyan in monkey form going SSJ and blowing the gently caress out a planet and taking himself with it. Well that was anime only. Vegeta talked about it all throughout the Namek saga. Which is why DBZ Abridged pokes fun of it. Kild fucked around with this message at 19:37 on May 11, 2014 |

Vegeta is blown away by how much stronger Goku is than even the Ginyu force now, which prompts him to wonder if maybe Goku had become the legendary Super Saiyan. Yeah I typoed

BlitzBlast posted:his main stated issue with his dad is how he is never around. Goku only hasn't been around by choice is the year he spent on Yardrat and later when he doesn't wish to be revived after Cell is defeated. He died saving the planet and Gohan against Raditz. He drat near died again doing the same thing against Vegeta and was forced to spend time recovering in the hospital. Gohan insists that he going to Namek instead of Gohan spending time with his Dad after being apart for a year. Then Goku is forced to travel to Namek and drat near dies again to rescue Gohan and friends. He selfishly stays on Yardrat for unexplained reasons (learning instant transmission?) for a year. After returning he spends 3 years with Gohan and additional year in the time chamber before he dies once again to save Gohan and the planet. Cell is defeated and he declines to be resurrected because he felt like he was the reason everything bad was happening to Earth and this was the best way to protect it.

crikster posted:I'm watching the original remastered. I just finished that 10 hour Freeza battle in season 3, and when it ended, it felt like it was ME that beat Freeza just by having forced myself to pay attention for 2 days. King Kai would say, "Oh no Goku, the planet is going to blow up in 5 minutes!" Then several episodes later, "Oh no, 1 more minute Goku!" Then another hour of watching. On the other hand I thought all the episodes were good for the most part. I especially liked when Goku fell off snake way and raced the Goblins in hell. For an example: DBZ had Goku charge up the spirit bomb for something like 10 episodes when it was only 2 in Kai.

crankdatbatman posted:Going to have to disagree here. Krillin gets more love than Tien in the manga because Krillin is and always was more of a central character than Tien. Even in the manga Krillin is never on Tien's level. Tien is easily the number 2 guy at the end of Dragon Ball and is pretty much considered on Piccolo's level before Piccolo's Kami power up (they at least get their rear end kicked by the androids with about the same effort). Yeah Tien might have a bullshit move, but Toriyama paints him as more powerful than Krillin all throughout the manga, he's just not as present as Krillin. Theres no way Tien is even close to Nail fused Piccolo.
