I know there's goofy extended-univerese stuff that explains where most of the characters are, like Gohan making his own book and stuff. Is there anything that explains what Goten goes on to do?

Goku already had a heart condition, it's honestly quite sensible. Vegeta probably could have lived to 100 but he wasn't about to let Kakarott beat him to dying.

I'm just saying that if you have a virus that almost kills you and leaves you screaming and in agony for days you're probably not going to come out of it without long-term damage.

Cozz posted:Maybe Goku would have future heart issues...if he didn't die (that hole in his chest was healed the first time he died ) and was given his life back by a deity of the universe. I don't think that being revived from the dead actually fixes long-term health conditions. Frieza was still in pieces after all. Just... alive pieces. Plus I don't think you can be revived from 'natural' death.

Ytlaya posted:Speaking of Gohan, is there any reason they didn't just repeat the Super Saiyan God ritual for every single saiyan? I mean, they were able to do it with Vegeta apparently, so why not also hook Gohan up with that sweet god ki. Super actually gives a pretty good explanation for this. Goku punches so hard with God Ki that he almost destroys the entire universe. Probably not something you want in the hand of Gotenks or a dude with severe anger issues. (Probably not Vegeta either honestly.)

Kild posted:Goku vs the Ginyu squad. Goku vs Nappa. Goku vs Mecha Frieza. Goku vs Ginyu: Two were taken out by Vegeta and Goku lost his body and had to be rescued by other people. Goku vs Nappa: I guess it counts. Nappa took a pounding but it didn't slow him down. Goku vs Mecha Frieza: Didn't happen. I guess techically it happened in another timeline but in another timeline Krillin beat Majin Buu so hey. Goku vs Buu: Nah, he'd have gotten his face pushed in if not for Vegeta (plus Satan assist) Vegeta and Future Trunks probably have the best solo record. Vegeta for his long-rear end killing spree on Namek + a few kills after and Trunks since he technically ganks two Androids, Cell, Frieza and King Cold without help.

Kild posted:Considering how weak Ginyu was in Goku's body was I think even Goku in Ginyu's hurt could've beat him. And its not like they beat him up to get Goku's body back. Yes they did. That is in fact how Goku got so badly injured and why he needed to be healed. At this point you're also arguing "Well, he probably COULD have won that fight" instead of "he did win that fight" which kind of defeats the point. Goku did not defeat Kid Buu or Ginyu on his own. (Edit: Also, looking it up, I don't see where Goku says he could have beaten Kid Buu.) ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Oct 17, 2015 |

Caros posted:You are correct! The game includes a Super Saiyan Gohan sprite but there is no way to unlock it during gameplay. If you hack it in with a Game Genie your entire party becomes super saiyan and the game crashes almost immediately. I could be misremembering but what I think actually happens in this case is that it's just pallet-swapping. There are actually codes (as well as at one point a fully-featured editor) which made it pretty trivial to alter characters by swapping their pallets. Gohan in this case just ends up as kid Gohan with yellow hair since he swaps pallets with SSJ Goku. I remember fooling around with it and making SSJ Yamcha. (Who was one of the only other characters with hair!) You could also pretty trivially hack any character into your party since they all functioned under similar rules.

Asuron posted:There's nothing to really say about Super. It's a pile of dogshit that's making GT look good. No, you're just being ridiculously hyperbolic and it makes you look pretty silly. "This show... it's... it's repeating material viewers are already familiar with and doesn't have the best animation. Clearly this is unheard of for an anime and everyone must despise it! They certainly must think it is far worse than Dragonball Z, a show that repeated material viewers were already familiar with and didn't have the best animation!" Edit: I really do find it kind of funny that Super is basically More Dragonball Z and you get people flipping out because it doesn't match their rose-tinted nostalgia glasses for the original show but instead actually matches the original show. It's an interesting view into what the internet would have been like if DBZ was airing for the first time now. Also seriously if viewers dumped anime because it had poor pacing, bad animation and so-on, stuff like Naruto and One Piece woulda died ages ago.

Asuron posted:It feels like you're projecting really hard here. I find it bad and stopped watching it and I see very little discussion on it anywhere. That's all I'm pretty sure I'm not projecting into you calling it a "pile of dogshit." v  vAs far as people not discussing it, it looks like it has pretty active discussion threads on any anime board I care to check. It's relatively dead in discussion here because it's largely going over older material at the moment so there isn't a lot to discuss. The Naruto anime thread on this subforum is a lot deader than the manga thread was largely because there's a lot less in terms of discussion material when everyone knows what is going to happen.

Asuron posted:You already said it has bad pacing, bad animation and is still repeating content most people have already seen but done worse. What exactly makes it anything except bad? Dragonball has all of those things and you seem to like it. Dragonball Z had all of those things and regardless of your own opinion on it, it was extremely popular. In fact a good percentage of anime had bad pacing, bad animation and is repeating content the viewer is already familiar with. (Being manga or other adaptations.) I'm not big on Dragonball Super but if it is bad, it isn't bad in a way that stands out from the crowd. I don't mind if you dislike it but the hyperbole over its quality is pretty silly. So far it's been, at worst, kinda dull and had some poorly animated episodes. Which isn't great but is literally something that applies to the entirety of the franchise.

Asuron posted:I didn't find Dragonball to have bad animation, sometimes it did but that's the case in most long running shows? Pacing could be shoddy at times, but it at least had the excuse of not trying to get ahead of the source material. I'm not really passionately defending it. I've criticized it multiple times. I just find the level of hyperbole of a pretty bog-standard shonen anime to be pretty silly. You yourself are making up excuses to justify why the show you liked is different, despite the fact that both of your excuses are pretty silly. I don't think I need to explain the budget one and padding out a show to avoid running out of source material is not something they 'have' to do, it's something they do when they want to take advantage of a popular-but-still-running product to make money. Like based off your argument you seem to blame the Super production team but give the DB/DBZ production team a pass and I don't get why. You say they 'have no excuse' but don't they have pretty much the same excuse as the original series? ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Oct 18, 2015 |

It doesn't actually take a lot to hurt people in DBZ. Krillin was able to create a technique which (barring goofy Cell filler) can obliterate dudes many many many times above his level. He could have killed Nappa with it despite Nappa being able to step on his face effortlessly and was even able to wound Frieza. Ain't no reason someone else couldn't figure out a similar thing.

Esroc posted:I love the idea that he eventually gets pasted by Buu or any of the post-Cell movie or GT villains and the main timeline group never stops to think about this. Then there's the fact that it would be impossible to create a Super Saiyan God in his timeline, so even if he lucks out and beats Buu it all goes tits up when Beerus pays a visit. It's pretty likely Buu doesn't get released because Trunks doesn't gently caress around releasing energy, and Beerus has no reason to visit Earth without Goku there.

They are going to have Super Saiyan Blue at something like 1/4th of the way through the series. You're kidding if you don't think at LEAST one more Saiyan transformation, plus probably something for Piccolo or someone is coming down the line.
