Just in case you didn't know, Toriyama already drew what the theorical fusion between Krillin and Piccolo would look like:

Speaking of which: was him punching Jeice in the face anime filler or was it in the manga too?

It was.



I also don't think that's uncharacteristic of Goku knowing that Monaka is supposed to be stronger than him.

I want to meet alternate Broly who is a peaceful scientist and researcher helping the underfranchised peoples of the universe gain ki energy, but is still ten feet tall and five feet wide. All hunched over a keyboard and everything

Broly as some sort of Dr.Jekyll totally fits if you think about it.

I gotta say, that Piccolo/Frost fight was really good. Great to see all of Piccolo's techniques on showcase, from the multiform technique to the stretchy arms. Probably Super's best fight sequence so far, imo.

I loved Goku channeling the older fans and getting all nostalgic over the antenna lasers.

Chichi was introduced as the daughter of a cruel ogre that had villages and travellers terrorized, I assume her outfit is supposed to evoke the usual skimpy dressed villainess in fantasy settings and you're expected to find funny how inappropiate it is for a small girl.

He didn't fight Apple specifically but he and Gohan kicked some Frieza's soldiers butts upon reaching Namek. It's still a shame they didn't get to defeat Guldo at least, that Guru powerup only worked to impress Vegeta for like one second.

Rutibex posted:

No even vaporizing Buu doesn't work. They tried that in the time chamber and the gas just reformed into Buu again.

The only way to defeat Buu is to attack his single weakness: Toriyama. It is only by weakening Toriyama's resolve to write more chapters of DBZ can Buu be truly defeated.

I don't think it's that hard to get, Cell could come back as long as his regenerative organ was still intact, Buu is the same only every particle of his body is like that. During Gotenks' fight they realized the more tired he got, the slower he recovered so an alternative way to defeat him could have been punching him until he can't move (like Kid Buu did with Good Buu) then take all the time you want to prepare and fire a ki blast concentrated enough to not leave a trace of him afterwards like the Spirit Bomb did.

So uh...what's going on here? Would GT have already been in the development stage by time this came out? Was Toriyama trying to plant the seeds for the Shadow Dragon stuff? Clearly this doesn't actually go anywhere in the manga itself, and this idea hasn't come up again in Battle of Gods, Ressurection 'F', or Super to my knowledge.

Thoughts?

This is why the Shadow Dragons is one of the best ideas in GT (with poor execution, as usual), it actually fits in the continuity, it makes the dragon balls central to the plot and it's believable that artifacts that can alter the order of the universe itself could generate such strong adversaries (as opposed to, say, Rilld somehow being stronger than Majin Buu for example).

Yamcha's scene cracked me up. I liked the original ending but this is also true:

Ammat The Ankh posted:

I thought it was pretty good, but not enough laugh out loud moments. The bit at the end that relied on original artwork looked really weird to me. Not just the fact that it was off-model (I know aping Toriyama's style is really difficult) but it wasn't color corrected/balanced to match the original footage, making it stand out too much.

I wonder why they didn't use actual shots from the show, I don't think it'd had been very difficult, if not the group shot at the end, at least that front shot of Gohan when he talked to Wheelo.

I'm pretty sure it was stated that Hercule is actually the best martial artist on the planet among those who don't know how to use ki.

Actually they put the part where Chichi didn't allow Goten to "train" with Goku and Piccolo as a foreshadow of his descent into evil :ssh:

New Leaf posted:

I vote it's alternate world Goten all grown up and he's got a second earring that he wants to force on to Trunks to make them fuse into Black Gotenks.

I like to think the Supreme Kai in the opening is a red herring and the earring is a memento of Chichi, representing the last bit of humanity inside him. It'd work for both Goku and Goten.



On the other hand, I don't think Dragon Ball has ever done a twist like that so I don't think that'd happen.

Then how did Vegita come back in the Buu saga?

He was still dead until they made the mass revival wish, Yemma just kept his body and allowed him to go to Earth, but had he died as a soul, he would have ceased to exist for good.

Didn't Black blow up a bunch of other planets beforehand? Does that square with his stated goals?

While "ningen" literally means "human" and we usually use the term "human" only for earthlings, etimologically it refers to "people" in general, saiyans and namekians count as "ningen" too, for example.

They might well change his name to avoid it entirely, like Dark Goku, just use Black Goku in any cases like that, or something that removes that.

"That dark person" still sounds bad, they'll probably just use his full name every time.

Modern dragonball media is so fanficy that it's awesome and amazing and I love it.

Not really, you can pretend DBZ stopped at any time and the rest of it was added to Super years later and it'd still look "fanficy".

Cell saga is probably the most fanfic-like arc if you think about it, Trunks looks like the typical cool self-insert OC, time travel shenanigans, new super saiyan transformations, return of the red ribbon army...

New episode is out, at least in spanish.


It's a bit frustrating the characters still don't seem to get how time works and automatically discard Zamasu as a suspect of being Black. I thought Whis'd be better than that.

Love Trunks and Vegeta's interactions, and Trunks tricking him into thinking he's still stuck with bulky SSJ form (Vegeta wasn't present when he showed he could do SSJ2 already?).

Even Whis losing his cool at the idea of a meeting between Goku and Zenos was fun to see too.

I thought he might be Zamasu's evil side like what happened with Piccolo and Evil Buu, only taking Goku's shape since he hates him the most but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, maybe he's some sort of magical Frankenstein's monster or something.
