Poor Gohan, hitting Super Saiyan at around 10 was insane back then. Then his little brother and alternate future student reached it even younger, and now his daughter might have reached it before even being born. Being a Super Saiyan is not very impressive anymore. At least there's Super Saiyan 3...oh wait, Heroes gave that one to literally everyone.

VJeff posted:Is that SSJ3 Future Trunks? Heroes gave SS3 to everyone. Everyone. Every Saiyan that can transform into a Super Saiyan can become a Super Saiyan 3 (except for Goten, weirdly enough, and even he can do it after Fusing). Trunks in particular has quite a few variations of his Super Saiyan 3 form, and was the first one to get one in Heroes IIRC. Future, GT and Xeno Trunks all get their Super Saiyan 3 forms (but the first and third are the same person, so it shouldn't be too surprising I guess)

I was searching for a gift for my girlfriend like two weeks ago, and I found this guy and I couldn't resist, I had to have him. I also bought her a kid Gohan, because she thinks that Gohan post-Androids was lame as balls so she didn't deserve the super cool Ultimate Gohan toy. Which I should've bought for myself but I ran out of money.

projecthalaxy posted:Here's a list of the DBZ movies and their villains, with ripoff status as determined by me. To be more specific (and adding my own opinions, I guess) -Garlic Jr.: Looks are Pilaf's, but story role (and the plot of the movie in general) is taken from Raditz. He kidnaps Gohan, Goku has to team up with Piccolo to beat him. Points for actually succeeding in using the Dragon Balls, though. -Dr. Wheelo: No idea, I know I watched it but like hell if I can remember it. Most forgettable movie. -Turles: The character himself is based around a simple question, "what if Goku hadn't hit his head and grew as an evil Saiyan?". It's definitely an interesting look at things if nothing else. Being an evil Saiyan, he takes cues from Vegeta. -Lord Slug: Combination of both Piccolos, mostly father, although the growing giant stunt was done by son. Not very creative. -Cooler: Freeza, but understandably so. Personality actually differs from Freeza's, showing actual interest in his subordinates. Shin Budokai fleshes him out quite a bit. I like him! -Meta-Cooler: Mecha Freeza. Unlike the previous one, the movie is straight-up taken from Namek and Mecha Freeza, and is overall far more boring and unimaginative. -Androids 13 to 15: Cell, 17 and 18. Human-like Androids, get absorbed by Cell/13 to obtain a powered up form that is stronger than a Super Saiyan. In-series, might be actual prototypes for it. 15 is great. -Broly in general: Overused and boring, but at least unique. Video games love him for some reason. Has gone up to SS4 in Heroes, jesus. -Bojack: An obvious take on the Cell Saga, but set after it. Bojack takes Cell's place, with Zangya as 18 (up to Krillin showing affection for her). Goku is dead, Gohan is losing, turns SS2 and wins. Uncreative, but gives us more Future Trunks, and holy poo poo he looks cool as hell in that movie. -Bio-Broly: Takes inspiration from the early Buu Saga, showing the same important characters. Really lame movie. -Janenba: Buu, completely. Fat form, turns into tall and slim form, forces Goku and Vegeta to fuse to win. Gogeta is cool, but Vegetto is cooler even if his clothes suck. That said, the movie itself is great and very much worth the watch. -Beerus: An interesting take into the psyche of Toriyama's cat. -Resurrection "F": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtYWTj3ef3M

Every Mr. Satan scene in this episode was gold. I can't help but respect a man whose first instinct upon knowing everyone and everything will be destroyed is to do everything in his power to protect his daughter and unborn granddaughter, the only family he has. Also trying to bribe Whis with food was genius. His love saved us all. Mr. Satan, champion of the universe. Gohan suddenly getting energy out of nowhere after saying that he couldn't even fly before only to shield Videl even when he probably fully knew it was pointless was great too. As was Piccolo just silently, calmly accepting death. In short, can we focus on that particular eyecatch? It has the best characters.

Going through the God ritual might've given Vegeta some slight God abilities of his own. Not enough to become a Super Saiyan God or fight with God Ki, but enough to somewhat sense Goku and Beerus' own God Ki, hence how he follows it. That said, this is also speculation, Vegeta might just have insanely good eyesight and be able to see space, who knows. Having slight God Ki after the ritual despite the fact that it should only affect Goku would give a good reason for Whis training him later, as well as being able to become a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, since that went unexplained in Resurrection "F", where he just had God Ki randomly.

Super Saiyan Satan is amazing and justifies Super's existance all on his own. That said, it's hard to ignore Super Saiyan 4 Gohan. This is the kind of love both Toriyama and Toei have decided Gohan will never get, and Heroes just comes and says "oh yes, we remember that character everyone except the production team liked. Here, have a super mode!". It's an amazing thing, after Gohan has gotten humilliated over and over after DBZ ended. GT removed his final form, BoG had him one-shot (and Super made it even worse), and then RF combined both into one movie because that's exactly what we wanted out of Gohan. This? This is the respect he deserves. Hopefully it'll open the way to a SSG or SSGSS Gohan in the future too. The other two are fine, I guess. Super 17 looks weird like that, and I'd like to know what the context is on Towa's new look. I just hope that this will be taken by the next Dragon Ball game that actually releases worldwide, Xenoverse 2 or whatever. Because it is cool.

Ytlaya posted:It's funny that they even had to gather together to defeat the Frieza soldiers. Presumably there would be no one left stronger than, like, Zarbon. Gohan/Goten/Trunks should have been able to easily solo all of them. Yes. This is outright stated in the movie. Freeza points out that Gohan could beat all of his soldiers, alone, and far faster than they are. The entire point is that they don't want to, they're stalling for Goku, since everyone together are still nowhere near a match for Freeza.

Cozz posted:I doubt Toriyama really thought about it all that much. It really depends on what properties keeping your dead body has in the Otherworld, and also what happens when you're not wished back to life but given life. Going off of previous Dragon Ball Deaths where the characters were disintegrated(Krillan on Namek, Chaotzu against Nappa), and wished back to life, I think Frezia should have been brought back in his normal form. I haven't seen Revival of F yet to see if that's explained better on why Frezia was also brought back in pieces when he was wished back. It is explained in the movie. Because he was brought back when he died over a year ago, Shenlong could not repair his body. As such, he was reborn on the same state as he died: as a bunch of body parts that were only still alive because Freeza is really, really resistent to death. He's then thrown into a super-powerful regen chamber that was only created after his death and could get him back to full health. Technology!

High five Budokai 2. I absolutely love Shin Budokai with all my heart, but it angered me so much when it teased Yamcha and Tenshinhan fusing again...and then Tenshinhan just shoots that idea down hard and it never happens.

Hjalmar posted:could future gohan beat up dad gohan No. No matter what you take as canon, Future Gohan just doesn't compare. Even with Heroes giving him Super Saiyan 3 and Shin Budokai 2 giving him Ultimate, Gohan has the same power ups, so they'd be tied at best. Hell, in Heroes he can become Super Saiyan 4. And of course, in the main series proper Gohan is just much stronger than his future counterpart even as a pre-teen, and the power gap only grows greater as Gohan gets his power unlocked. Which is then lost because reasons, but he still should have Super Saiyan 2.

Every Krillin moment in this episode was wonderful. And every Vegeta moment was absolutely hilarious. I love Vegeta when he's forced into the comedy role. And the bird that constantly imitated him was great too, I hope it gets to teach a dinosaur how to ride a ball someday. Also goddamn Vegeta, that was pretty smooth. He could've just accepted the offer of being a God of Destruction, but instead managed to perfectly find the way to get what he wanted without needing to become that. When you consider how Vegeta would've gladly taken that offer in a second before, it seriously shows just how much he's grown.

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. He got a haircut at the end of the Cell Saga (and even inside it, after fighting Cell as his super buff form), and we can guess that he never grew it long again (since growing it long wasn't a choice of his to begin with, there just probably wasn't any good way to cut his hair inside the Hypernonsense Blink Chamber, just look at how Gohan's hair ended up!). The size...just the usual inconsistencies. It's anime.

visceril posted:I thought that Red was full god mode and that Blue was them being able to tap into a portion of God ki after training with Whis. That's a misconception, actually! Super Saiyan Blue comes from mastery of God Ki, and then turning into a Super Saiyan, making it far more powerful than the original Super Saiyan God form with no disadvantages whatsoever. In fact, videogames (namely Xenoverse and Extreme Butoden) put SSGSS Goku and Vegeta above every Super Saiyan form in terms of power, including Super Saiyan 4. As proof of this in-series, Goku and Vegeta's base state is now known as "Saiyan beyond God", so they've clearly surpassed the power of Super Saiyan God. They're still not on Beerus' level though, much less Whis'.

I really hope that Ginyu appearing there was set-up for him having a role and not just a cameo. Because I'd love to see Ginyu again. Also I really like that Super fixed the errors with the Dragon Balls in both BoG and now. It justifies only one wish in the BoG part by having Shenlong run the gently caress away from Beerus, and here he correctly gives three wishes, even stating how the wishes work. And Mai got ice cream, which is always a good wish. And the best ice cream is, logically, the best wish. Good for you, Mai. And I honestly just felt so sorry for Pilaf here. He worked so hard to get those Dragon Balls, after decades of trying he finally succeeds...only to get them stolen. Can't a man just wish for world domination in peace? Geez.

Ytlaya posted:Actually, didn't he just go base form > Kaioken X 100 (or whatever his max was) > Spirit Bomb > Super Saiyan? I only remember him using Kaioken once during that fight, and it was only for a couple minutes (during which he got one or two good punches in on Frieza) before burning himself out. Goku canonically never goes beyond x20. He starts the fight in x10 (which he has total control of, to the point that he can turn it on and off at will and we can never see the aura apart from specific shots), then increases it to x20 when he realizes he can't beat Freeza, and it isn't enough. x100 is used once, though, against Lord Slug in his movie. Goku needed Piccolo's Ki to use it. It also made no goddamn sense. Kaioken is a flat multiplier to power, as is Super Saiyan, and a Kaioken x100 would make Goku a Super Saiyan 2 in terms of power. If, you know, power levels made any sense.

Bulma is the weird exception to the rule in Dragon Ball, in which marriage didn't remove her personality and ability to act on her own at all and instead might've actually boosted it, if only because she and Vegeta work really well off each other. Because they're both egocentric, selfish, easily triggered and immature, which ends up being absolutely hilarious. 18 also clearly still has her personality, she just doesn't get to actually act a lot of the time despite being stronger than every human. Which isn't saying a lot in Dragon Ball, but still!

For everything that's great about Heroes (treating Gohan better than canon does, for one), it still doesn't have God Satan playable and that is a big mistake.

Even in the movie it makes no sense whatsoever. Tenshinhan's reasoning to not tell Yamcha is that it will be too dangerous for him...as Krillin brings Master Roshi, and everyone acts as if that was the most normal decision in the world. At least Super doesn't have Tenshinhan say anything about Yamcha. Now it just looks like everyone forgot his existance.

Yeah, unlike Resurrection "F" (where he gets one-shot by Freeza with no flair whatsoever, making him look stupidly weak), here he gave a great fight to TaGinyu, far stronger than anyone else on the human team, and Freeza went for torture rather than a one-hit kill so it looks far more dignified than his Yamcha-level performance in both that movie and BoG. And Gohan's studying a Difficult Book, I'm not sure how that isn't enough info for you. If you consider Online canon, though, he'll later tell the world that Ki exists, and katchin can be cut, making swords immensely popular thanks to Goten and Trunks in spite of Future Trunks constantly proving his sword was completely worthless during his time in the show.

This is ignoring his core cell apparently wasn't blown out of his skull when Goku vaporized his entire upper half. "Out of his butt". Freeza spent the whole goddamn fight since he hit Final Form saying how he was fighting at X% of his power. Hell, I'm pretty sure he pointed out his current percentage of power more than Vegeta said he had become A SUPER SAIYAN. The Cell thing did come out of nowhere though (plus it was a retcon considering how Namekian regen needs you to keep your head...which Cell ignores, twice). That said, saying it was no point to it...I'd say that "villain self-destructs" would be a really boring way to end a fight and it would make the entire plot about Gohan having a ridiculous hidden power in him totally pointless if Cell just killed himself instead. And this is basically the only time in the series in which Toriyama actually went the whole way with that instead of pointing it out then having Gohan rely on someone else anyways.
