pik_d posted:lmao come on, the B/C team is done with getting new powerups. The most we can hope for is SSGSS3 Gotenks (which would be extremely rad) Nah, they're doing a tournament so there's a good chance at least one dude is gonna get some kind of punchhard power, if just so he can job and Goku/Vegeta can show off their even-stronger powerup by beating the guy who beat him. Like how Piccolo powered up to fight Cell and Android 17. Or like how Piccolo powered up to fight Frieza. Or like how Piccolo powered up to fight Nappa. ... being Piccolo sucks.

Caros posted:This has been bothering me for a while, why does he get shorter? Trunks is noticeably taller when he comes out of the hypersonic lion tamer because of a year worth of ageing, but he shrinks back to (and adopts the old hairstyle of) pre-crying chamber when he shows up in heroes and xenoverse. I think it's probably just art weirdness in that area. Though "Toriyama forgot" is never a bad assumption.

Spiritus Nox posted:So, is OnePunchMan's gimmick like a magic thing, where he beats anything with one punch because that's just the way the universe works, or is he just supposed to be such a badass that he's never needed more than one punch, and it's still theoretically possible for him to have to punch someone twice if he meets someone tough enough? It's the latter. The joke is that he is hilariously absurdly ridiculously strong but it never matters because nothing can challenge him and his origin story is "pushups, situps and plenty of juice."

He has a supporting cast who are of a lower power level and it actually allows for some legitimately great (if often hilarious) fights, at least in the manga.It's just that at the end of the day you've got One Punch Man.

Yo! Son Goku is a much better Dragonball story than most. It is goofy and lighthearted and silly which is entirely what Dragonball is at its heart. That isn't to say it doesn't have serious moments but the franchise knows what it wants to be.

facebook jihad posted:This and posts like it are really dumb. Sure 'real dragon ball' is the goofy poo poo they did in the pilaf/red ribbon/Buu saga, but there was a period where it was a lot more serious in tone. And Funimation/English dubs really did market the show as being bad rear end. No one in my middle school liked DB because it was goofy and funny. We had nick toons for that. Kids wanted to watch Goku punch people. There's goofy stuff in every arc. Like you can point at Namek and how Frieza is so scary but it's bookended by Frieza's primary villain squad being the freaking Ginyu Force. Especially with the anime taken into account there's also tons of silly filler in-between (or even during, like Bulma vs the GInyufrog) dramatic fights.

facebook jihad posted:Recoome also broke Gohan's neck and Guldo was about to impale Krillin and Gohan like a kabob. I admit that there's a lot of goofy stuff in the series but if you think DBZ got popular because of Bulma switching bodies with a frog you are kidding yourself. Yes, and Dragonball features both Krillin winning a fight because he doesn't have a nose and Krillin getting his neck broken by an assassin. The series having moments of brutality doesn't mean it isn't full of goofiness too.

mycot posted:It's more an argument against bringing up the Ginyu Squad making the entire Frieza arc nonserious. They're pretty much the only comedic relief in the Namek Saga (outside of Bulma filler I guess) and even then they weren't exactly Team Rocket. Zarbon wasn't exactly Captain Serious either and he was basically the only other major villain before them. I guess there's Dodoria who barely was characterized before getting Vegeta'd.

mycot posted:Dodoria barely did anything but one of the only things he did do was massacre innocent namekians onscreen. I think I'd take that as "this is very serious" if Dragonball didn't play so fast and loose with mass killing but Beerus is a literal engine of genocide who kills entire planets when he's displeased and also a goofy cat-man.

Goku is both a good and bad dad. He genuinely cares about his son and wants the best for him but he is also a crazy kung-fu murderhobo and so his idea of what is best for his son is not always what is actually best for his son.

Who would people want to replace her as Goku's Japan voice actor/actress that wouldn't basically completely change the feel and tone of the character? I mean I can't say I wouldn't enjoy Koyasu's take on Goku but it probably wouldn't really fit.

It seems a little weird to argue that saying they could do better than a badly animated episode of an anime is claiming to be in the top 10. Darko certainly can turn something better out. A lot of people probably can, especially if they're not working on weekly anime conditions, including probably the people on-staff there.

Goku's one major flaw isn't that he isn't the best dad. His one major flaw (and this is honestly repeatedly emphasized) is that he is a giant kid who loves to fight more than anything else. This doesn't mean he doesn't love his family or doesn't care about people or whatever. It just means that he'll put a chance to fight and train and better himself over almost anything else that doesn't feel like a pressing concern and he seems to genuinely have a hard to grasping that not everyone feels that way. It's also part of what is supposed to be unnerving about him going Super Saiyan because at long last he's actually seriously angry and unhappy to a degree where his eyeset changes to that of a villain. It's why Battle of the Gods totally made sense as a plot point for him because he achieves a new more powerful form and he's spending the entire fight quietly sulking over the fact that he couldn't do this himself despite the fact he's fighting the most powerful creature in existence for the fate of the planet. And he does it but he doesn't want to do it because it's a serious fight he had to 'cheat' to get instead of one he achieves himself. He genuinely enjoys both training and pressing other people to train which is why PIccolo (and later Vegeta) are his rivals because they are the exact right mindset to go up against that because they both push him to train and in turn are pushed by him to train harder. And this flaw causes him to make dumb mistakes because he does view the world in terms of "I want to fight the strong guy" until poo poo gets really really bad.

SexyBrianPuppet posted:Piccolo using kaio-ken sounds dumb. Piccolo is too cool to rely on Goku's superpower sloppy seconds to stay relevant, and should only get unique Namek powerups. Relying on sloppy superpower seconds is a time-honored Dragonball tradition. Goku's iconic moves are all something someone else came up with.

DB seems to stick real real hard to the idea that if you're not actively interested in training you're not going to be fighting at any sort of high level. With RoF we basically can see that Frieza was fighting at like a loving iota of his maximum power level because he was abnormally strong by default and it just so happened that iota was infinitely stronger than everything else he normally encountered.

Goten is weird because for all intents and purposes he is an absurdly powerful character. Young Gohan was considered exceptional when his ragefits hit a few thousand and Goten is going Super Saiyan as a toddler but I guess he doesn't count as having immense hidden potential or something. He's the crap son.

LORD OF BUTT posted:I thought Goten's whole deal was that Goku and Chi-Chi were trying to give him a normal-ish childhood after all the poo poo Gohan ended up going through. Am I off-base? Goku was dead for literally all of Goten's childhood. Chi-Chi apparently was willing to train him in martial arts unlike Gohan who she tried to keep studious. I don't think they ever explained it but I guess when your husband is murdered by an evil bug monster and your son almost dies to it you decide that knowing how to defend yourself is a lot more important.
