Calaveron posted:Something I just remembered from watching the BoG latam dub last night; it mentions that it’s Bulma’s 38th birthday and that Mai is 41. Is that mentioned in the japanese original / english dub? I wouldn’t think so because the timeline wouldn’t work since Bulma was what, 16 when the series started and 22 years wouldn’t be enough for Goku’s family to make sense Well, there's over 6 years passing in DB, 5 until Raditz, a year for the rest of the Sayians, around a year for the Namek saga until Trunks shows up, then 3 years for Androids and 7 for Buu. That adds up to 23 which seems about right.

Burkion posted:The way I've always read that whole thing I've read it as - if a single blast hosed up SSJ2 Gohan so much that he was barely able to challenge Cell's Kamehameha afterwards, then Cell was probably stronger. At least in the manga, where the final push during Vegeta's distraction took a fraction of a second. In the anime, with Cell going impossible or whatever while Gohan's slowly walking forward it looks like the opposite.

Blaze Dragon posted:That single blast only accomplished what it did because Gohan let his guard down to protect Vegeta. Ki-defense has always worked the same (outside of filler), if you aren't actually focused on protecting yourself, you're getting hurt, no matter how strong you are.

Manatee Cannon posted:as is it's just funny how they don't even stop to consider the option when he could easily win if they brought him in. it's just an artifact of the story shifting back to goku near the end Sure they did. When Vegeta mentions wanting to revive everyone on Earth, Goku's first thought is that it will allow them to bring Gohan and Trunks/Goten in, before Geets clarifies that it's Earthlings' time to defend themselves.

Blaze Dragon posted:(this, in and of itself, is one of Toriyama's favourite writing techniques: a blatant retcon, since the Dragon Balls didn't even work on people that died over a year ago before). I don't think this was ever mentioned in the manga.

Blaze Dragon posted:The x2 is also shouted in the Japanese version but it's a mistake, the base Kaioken is x2. How this mistake happened is beyond me, since it's dumb as hell, but it happened. The reason Goku needs to be concentrated during Kaioken is that he needs to multiply his ki in exact integer increments. King Kai forbade using higher multipliers than 2 because he knew Goku would gently caress up his math.

There's 3 years between 22nd and 23rd tournament and 5 years pass (I think) when Raditz comes. As an aside, it's no wonder Piccolo think Gohan is a spoiled brat when he kidnaps him - at Gohan's age he already had a fair shot at conquering the world.

Covok posted:Anyone know if Goat-Wizard from Super manga will be in the anime? I think the general thought is that previous manga arc adaptations were kind of meh (with single touches being better than in the anime, like Roshi showing off Ultra Instinct moves), but this Moro stuff is pretty drat good.

Blaze Dragon posted:Yeah. It's the biggest wish to OG Shenlong, to the point that Kami is genuinely doubtful if it's even possible. I was going to say this should've brought back the guys on Kaio's, but now that I think about it, Vegeta/Nappa didn't kill anyone that was still dead - Tien and Chiaotzu died by suicide; Yamcha died to a plant, that I don't think you could count as being a part of an army; and Piccolo was already resurrected by that point.

Also looked at Sayian era Goku, erred on the safe side and within 4 years made 5 different beings stronger than the space emperor that he didn't even know about, with a sixth one in the tube.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:I like this video by PlagueOfGripes where he's basically like "Goku loves fighting, because he met all of his friends that way and had a bunch of fun adventures. Gohan hates fighting, because literally his first experience with it was his (father's) friends and family getting murdered before his eyes when he was 4-years-old. After he was kidnapped for a year and left to die in the wilderness. And then he met Frieza." Also Cell saga Gohan was still younger than Goku at the beginning of DB. So while Goku was chilling with his adopted grandpa, Gohan already had to deal with 4-5 groups of villains beating/murdering his friends.

Main timeline Gero didn't know about SSJ, so it's fair to say he didn't see first hand the fight with Freeza/Cold either. Gero just looked at Saiyan saga Goku/Vegeta, decided to turn up the power just a wee bit and ended up with half a dozen androids/cyborgs capable of taking over the galaxy.

I'm in the middle of rewatching of DBZA, and I agree - the quality starts to rise around the point of Vegeta and Nappa arriving on Earth, getting up there at the Goku/Vegeta fight and definitely being good at early-ish Namek.

There's something I've remembered now that you mentioned it - the Dragon says he can't do something that surpasses his creator's power, but Kami says during his first meeting with Goku that he can't bring people back from the dead - he can only resurrect Shenlong. I think the dragon is lazy and makes up rules when he doesn't feel like granting a wish

CharlestheHammer posted:It’s also kind of funny that the introduction of the clones is when he became irrelevant. As after a hard fought battle Goku reveals he was just loving with him the whole time At least in the manga Goku wasn't loving with Tien and figured out the clones were horrible after a single attack. Though I'm not sure if this is better or worse, really. Also Tien somehow compliments on Goku figuring out he's getting slower and weaker, so I don't really know what Tien figured out was going to happen in the first place.
