Cornwind Evil posted:Is it? Did it drop off in popularity or did the author decide it was time to wrap it up? I should catch up on it, I left off when they beat up the overwhelming villain by summoning Pac-Man. It's getting really close to the manga. They probably don't want to pull a Bleach or Naruto with filler.

Szmitten posted:Conceptually, I enjoy the Garlic Jr saga for having a threat that CANNOT be solved by Goku showing up and giving everyone else a chance to shine and look competant. I feel like it gave Gohan a little bit of depth that foreshadowed his involvement in the Cell sagas. Yeah but all that bullshit Piccolo did in the beginning was worthless when he ups and starts kicking Garlic's rear end all over the lookout. They should've had Krillin be the poo poo-wrecker.

Mister Roboto posted:Trunks beat Mecha-Frieza, not technically Frieza. There's conflicting sources as to if he was stronger as a cyborg or not. However, there's one bit of evidence: Goku beats him AND Cold apparently fairly easily in the unseen timeline when Trunks does not come back. Could argue that Goku got way stronger in those few months on Yadrat, I guess. Come on man, do you think Freeza would haul it to Earth if he wasn't confident that he was stronger than the Goku that beat his rear end and left him to die? And yes Goku got that strong. He went from getting punked by Raditz to punking Nappa in like 2 months (minus about 10 months of cardio).

You can see this really take effect first in the King Piccolo arc when Tien can't even beat Drum. Yeah, let this set in: They had to weaken Super Buu just so the series could end in Goku Time.

Blue Star posted:I've never understood why Bojack is so popular. He's got a really boring character design, and what even is his deal? He's a pirate that was sealed inside King Kai's planet, or some poo poo? Zangya and Bujin were more visually interesting. He's not. He's just some guy Gohan got to beat the poo poo out of. Hell, I think Zangya's been in more games than Bojack.

crikster posted:It's the voice, the candy, and the character design that would appeal more to a 2 year old compared to the rest of the series which may be 7yo and up. Listening to Gohan is hard enough although you get used to it. But with Buu, he's like that baby dinosaur on that old dinosaur puppet show on Fox in the mid 90s, "I'mmm the babbbbbbyyyy!!!" It's too cringe inducing to enjoy. I had the same reaction to the fat baby android that accompanied Dr Gero. I wanted to flip off the tv in disgust. I don't like babies! Other than that, my only other complaint was Garlic Jr. He was for sure the worst villain, terrible Emperor Pilaf rip-off. Watch the Japanese version then. He sounds like a Muppet until he gets pissed off. You also get a bonus with "eerie old man" voiced Babadi, and super gay Dabura.

Let's be fair though, he's been taking poo poo from evil bastards since he was 4 1/2. Now that I say that, when was the last time he won against one of those assholes? Maybe that's what Piccolo taught him to do when he's winning (Mr.Break-your-arms-and-legs-with-rocks). Rudoku fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Jul 7, 2014 |

Blue Star posted:I don't think Yajirobi was all that strong. He killed Cymbal, but wasn't Cymbal a lot weaker than Tambourine? And part of the reason Tambourine killed Krillen was because he got the drop on him, plus Krillen was still tired from the tournament. So Yajirobi killing Cymbal isn't proof of anything except that he's stronger than average. And as for the short fight between Goku and Yajirobi, Goku didn't seem to be going at it all that hard. But when Tambourine showed up, Goku went all out and killed him easy. I doubt Yajirobi could've done that. He was still stronger than Tenshinhan for that arc, and that's all that matters.

This mindlessness, coupled with the clone's retention of his source material's extreme levels of mental instability and rage, results in the clone being akin to a ravenous zombie that will attack anyone in sight. And it got peed on.

facebook jihad posted:See, I've seen the episodes but I just forget. I thought Piccolo was at Kame House and encounters the androids when they finally show up? But Goku should be awake at that point and Vegeta and Trunks should be in the time chamber. So why would the androids be at Kame House if Goku isn't there? That's why this part confuses me because I can't string it together logically. 16 knew that Goku likes to hang out at the Kame House, and never thought about Kami's place (most people don't even know their God was a slug-man on a sky-plate),so they decided to go there.
