King Piccolo, and he will fight Piccolo. It will be somewhat evenly matched because power levels are bullshit.

Or flew to Namek for that matter. Raditz probably still attacked so all the events of the Sayajin and Freeza saga could still have happened, with King Piccolo finding some substitute for the Super Sayajin.

Yeah, I figure either the two main universe's Piccolos fuse, or one of them fuses with Gast. Or both!

No, what we need is a three-way Piccolo fusion.

Piccolo 18, Piccolo 16, and Demon King Piccolo. That's enough to make him pretty drat powerful.

In the new DBM page, it seems like the organizers aren't just carrying in the Dragon Balls but the idiot ball as well. They've had a half-dozen reality-warping extreme health-and-safety risks make mincemeat of their security already, and now they are placing the Dragon Balls in between all of these risks and asking them politely to stay put. Presumably also to not shout any wishes, either.

Also, does it seem like the fansubs for Dragon Ball Kai have ground to a halt? What's up with that?

Well, they can set up a protective barrier that takes Broly to break for the audience. Presumably they can set one up around the Dragon Balls, and set it up so that Shenron has a soundproof barrier around him.

Well, when five pure-hearted minions gather and pose, they transfer their energies into a pure-hearted frost demon. This allows them to achieve a new level...their truly, for realsies this time final form!

Weighted training armor kind of lost all purpose after a while, didn't it? Unless Bulma invents armor that weighs more than a planet, but can still be worn as clothing, they really wouldn't get anything from it, would they?

Their bodies would weigh more when they are thrown against various objects, allowing them to hit it with more force.

Now I know that doesn't seem useful, but who knows when you'll need to do a kamehameha into an evil overlord's chest cavity, and maybe you just aren't forceful enough to piece their vital organs.

Re: Frieza third form.

It feels like what was meant to happen is for Vegeta to hit his zenkai before Frieza transformed, think he's a Super Saiyan, beat the tar out of third form and challenge Frieza to go up to fourth so he can prove his Super Saiyan power, only for Frieza to then come back and beat the ever loving poo poo out of him. Narratively that gives third form purpose and also would play into Vegeta's arrogance more, as well as allow for a callback in the Cell saga where he does it again.

I think it was just really hard to draw third form because it's so elaborate?

Well, Cell stayed around for a while, and apparently Toriyama hated drawing all of his spots every time. Maybe he finally realized "Oh hey, they've been on Namek for several months now, probably should fix that. Skip the Xenomorph, move on to Androgynous mk. II."

Burdock is a type of plant. All of the names in DBZ are probably some sort of pun.

So is it confirmed bullshit that Freeza was lying about his 530,000 power level? Or is it just something we have to accept as bullshit to make all the other zenkai in that saga make sense? I know why it's bad, and why it was dropped, but the idea of power levels still intrigue me.

Power Levels are bullshit, so it really doesn't matter if he was lying or not.

Okay, so, since the engine of Xenoverse apparently has trouble with model changes or something, we can work around this.

Saiyans get Super Saiyan mode.

Frost Demons go Super Frost Demon mode, like Freeza in the new movie.

Majin...uh...get buff? Like Super Buu.

Namekians also get buff, like Lord Slug.

Humans...uh...Great Saiyaman, but not a Saiyan?

Cell's semi-perfect voice seemed a bit...inconsistent (maybe the point?). One minute he had a distinct warble to it, the next he sounded pretty much like what I expect Perfect Cell to sound like. A few times he sounded more like his previous form, I just couldn't really place it down. Again the more I process it the more it might have been intentional, but I dunno.

Well, he's not perfect yet, he's only semi-perfect. He has some...bugs...to iron out.
