A thing in shounen in general and DBZ in specific, and this is even called out specifically, kinda, in Battle of Gods, is that just knowing that another tier of power is attainable helps you train to become stronger than you could if you didn't. I think in the Android saga, the saiyans, especially Gohan, gain more power in a single year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber than they do in the three years of training beforehand.

So if Goku were to meet Superman and then trained really hard...

Why is it that no matter how much clothing gets destroyed, pants always survive? Do they concentrate their Ki in that one spot to protect their vital areas and the pants survive as a side effect?

You have to admit that a number of things in GT sounded good on paper (e.g. the return of the giant ape forms, invasion of Hell, the dragon balls turning evil).

Why couldn't anyone use some manner of healing power to restore it? Sure it'd be a Deus Ex Machina moment, but it wouldn't have been as awkward and horrible as that.

I really want to see World's Strongest Abridged because I remember that being my favorite as a kid thanks to the focus on the DB crew. And while I am wishing for Kaiser to be crushed by the workload I want a DB Abridged.

Wasn't there a World's Strongest abridged? I could have sworn I saw it, though it was years ago.

I was rewatching DBZA (again) and just finished with the 2nd DBZ Kai Abridged episode. For the 3rd DBZ Kai Abridged episode, I have to wonder who will be the one (if there is someone) to say "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say".

That whole "stronger than Buu" thing was weird to me even as a dumb kid because I thought it wasn't that the guy was stronger, but rather that he was trickier to fight since he can merge and control any and all metal while Buu is a singular entity. So while I could easily look past this as a translation error, I don't know what the Japanese had and that could be the one at fault.

There's something that confuses me a little. Shenron is only able to grant wishes that do not exceed the power of his creator (i.e. Kami and Dende). How is bringing someone back to life not exceeding his creator's power?

At this point, I am looking forward to every new TFS interpretation. They have been consistently amazing with their character interpretations.

Like Mister Popo, that was an incredible choice. I only hope that they can do Buu and his other forms justice.



... Wait a minute. Super Buu is evil because he absorbs Mister Popo! Or maybe he gets possessed after trying to absorb Popo and Popo is the final villain of DBZA..

So I finally managed to catch up on Dragon Ball Multiverse. The story has some weak points, and despite claiming they are separate universes I feel they're parallel timelines, but the art is (mostly) decent and there were some cool moments and fights. Also, I can understand the choice to not include GT (for obvious reasons) and the new movies (BoG and RoF). Even so, I kinda want to see SSG Goku vs SSJ4 Goku. It's like a fight of the opposites (the new movies are manga canon while GT has all the anime filler and the other movies as canon (somehow), and I sort of see SSJ4 as more physical while SSG is more spiritual (though I could be wrong about that)).

From what I can remember, Dragon Ball had an old world sort of feel to it despite the modern cities and the technology present. The fighting tournament gives the strongest feeling.

I seriously would love to see other Saiyan's reaction to the ridiculous level Goku and his friends and family have archived. I mean, the Super Saiyan was a legendary figure of their mythology, it must be akin to not one, but 6 messiahs running around simultaneously. And since the strongest Saiyan rules, literally, I doubt they would be any trouble.

I have a theory that the "Super Saiyan" figure is actually based on Super Saiyan God.
