I just hope it doesn't end up like that Otherworld Tournament arc and Goku just clowns everyone except for the one guy they decided to flesh out a tiny little bit before forgetting about it entirely the next time he was on screen during the Buu saga.

I think it's after Broly only because Gohan has access to SSj1 in it but not Android 13. Unless they just forgot for 13.

E: Broly was released 8 months after Android 13, I think in narrative they are both in the week before cell?

Good god, think about how stressful that WEEK was. The Androids, Imperfect/Semi-Perfect Cell, Android 13, Broly, Perfect Cell, Bojack...

13 is worth watching just for racist android and hick android. Once they fuse it loses most of its entertainment tho.

It would have been much better in my opinion if they tied it back as some sort of Cell prototype and the fused android wasn't a big blue Broly-Vegeta-Sonic the Hedgehog fan-art combo.

Real talk - in the new "multiple universes" Super developments, where does that put Future Trunks' timeline? Does it constitute its own universe, or is it a splinter universe of the main timeline? If this is the case, does his splinter have its own multiple universes with other Gods of Destruction?

For all we know Champa is twice as strong as Beerus; I know in one of the movies (or Super i can't remember which) Whis said that Beerus wasn't the most powerful destroyer god in the multiverse.

Someone has said somewhere that Champa is the weaker of the two. It might have been in the manga.

Hey - I'm interested in actually physically reading the Dragonball / Z manga. Are the 3 in 1 books a good way to do that?

I'm a big fan of Dragonball Abridged and have watched most of Z/Kai, but have no experience at all with the original dragonball.

I read the 3 in 1's and it was great. I'd recommend it. They're pretty cheap too.

When Goku did the underwater Kamehameha spheres to gently caress with Frieza when they first fought on Namek, they were just spheres that sat there. That said, from the first Kamehameha you see in Dragonball, they've always had the tail.

Okay seriously, after watching the episode, I understand the complaints, and gently caress the change with Krillin. He wouldn't have forgotten literally decades of martial arts training and all the bravado that brought him to the fight in the first place. He should have been able to sense the ki of the worthless mooks and known he was leagues beyond them. That's just stupid.

Didn't Hercule win a Strongest Under The Heavens tournament (that none of the Z-Fighters participated in)?

Yeah, that's why he's the Champ!

I've always assumed he's probably as strong as anyone who can't fly and shoot ki blasts who has entered the tournament in the past. Hell, fighting that dude who shot Bee, he moved so quickly he disappeared for a second.. before getting shot.

I was kinda hoping Yamcha would show up to the Frieza fight at least. In the movie I get it, but if they're bringing in Gotenks, they could have thrown in Yamcha.

I thought Roshi came to bring senzus and then just ended up being stuck there, only to show he had been working out. Or was that the manga adaptation of the movie?

Why would Roshi bring senzus when Krillin had to carry him? Krillin would have had to carry him out too. They just swung by Korin's tower together to pick them up.

Also, Yamcha boasts to Beerus that he's one of the greatest martial artists on the planet in Super, which, while technically true, seems to hint that he's still doing something.

If Vegeta actually became stronger he wouldn't be all KAKAROT any more.

Sure he would, if he's not clearly dominant, he isn't "winning" in his mind. Plus he's seen Goku's uncanny ability to leap drastically ahead of him at least a dozen times at this point. This was his one opportunity to get an edge and that bumbling idiot Kakarot had to show up and ruin his fun.

goten mentions it the first time he goes super saiyan in front of gohan. apparently chichi was training him and he went super saiyan because she was kicking his rear end. she told him not to do it again

that might be anime filler tho, I don't remember

This comes up a lot.. He spars with Chi-Chi and happens to go Super Saiyan, but I honestly don't think that was intended to be viewed as the first time. I think he and Trunks figured it out together since Trunks knew how to do it in the chamber with Vegeta.

Kaiser mentions in the latest Episode Breakdown that he grew up with the Japanese version and doesn't particularly care what people like. Specifically it means that he favours the Japanese score unless there's a good reason not to.

He seems like a nice enough guy, but the fact that he goes out of his way to use the Japanese pronunciations of names when we have an accepted English dub pronunciation and they're basing their series on the English dub irritates me for some reason. It's like that guy who gets really into the Italian pronunciation of foods at Olive Garden.

Guys, an important question jumped into my head today that could forever change the history of Dragonball.

Master Roshi is a virgin.

Think about it. He's obsessed with women way out of his league, he has poor oral hygene, he's got a scruffy beard, we've never seen him land a girlfriend.. Roshi is a neckbeard virgin.

Almost everyone here watches fansubs. Dragon Team Subs are the best of the groups available. You can find it where people tend to find anime illegally and such. I don't believe English Super is licensed yet and is certainly not available so it's kinda grey anyway.

I watched to a point when Frieza first showed up but got frustrated with Krillin forgetting his decades of experience after kicking minion rear end in the movie, but it seems like it caught up to the manga at some point. I'll probably hold off for a long while and binge watch it later, but I do like seeing the manga art from time to time.

Speaking of, SSJ3 Adult Gotenks from DBM looks really great. Though with recent developments, I wonder how this is all going to play out..

Xenoverse's custom outfits were awful too and they missed a bunch of gimmes for outfits that were non specific to any characters.

Like, how do you make a Dragon Ball game for custom characters and not include the Cell era Saiyan armour that Gohan, Goku, Trunks and Vegeta all wear?

Xenoverse 1 was a good base and theoretically at least, could be made to be something much better if they listen to fan feedback.

My biggest gripe was that the outfits had STATS tied to them! Goku doesn't wear his outfit because it maximizes his Ki output, he wears it because that's what the gently caress he wears and gently caress you for asking. I wanted to be able to make my own stylized character without having to worry about restrictions and you end up looking just like everyone else. DBX2 needs to disconnect stats and gear entirely, or let you use a "cosmetic" set over your actual set.

Really though, Goku has never been a teacher. He's a fighter. I doubt he even knows how to teach those skills to another fighter.

King Kai however is a dick head. Maybe he's just ornery about being dead all these years and won't teach anyone else how to Kaio-ken!

Even before then when the other Z-fighters were there, he really didn't teach them poo poo as far as I can tell. He spent most of their training staring at Namek while they all hosed around.
