Manga/Dragon Ball

That. They just recolored LSSJ Broly's hair to be red, which is actually a rather lazy way to do it; one of the most noticeable traits of Super Saiyan God was the fact that Goku's muscles diminished rather than increased. Super-Bulky Broly isn't SSG, it's just regular Broly after someone pranked him with hair-dye.

Someone actually points that out in the comments of the video, and the response was basically "no, shut up, Broly's awesome, so of course he's huge." And when it's pointed out that this is impossible because unlocking the power of Super Saiyan God requires six pure hearted saiyans, the rebuttal was "Vegeta got to do it because he hadn't been evil in a long time, and Shenron didn't say six douchebag cunt saiyans COULDN'T do it."

From what I've read, the creator of the video essentially said "I did it because I was bored, Broly is stupid anyways."

Its a color swap.

Legendary Super Saiyan 4 Broly?

...

This is why Dragon Ball can't have nice things.

Ha.

This is really cool.

Well that was exactly what I was told it was.

Good lord, how I despise tumblr, and it's always linked to here.

Well...That was sudden.

I reached Goku's first transformation into the legendary Super Sandwich and...Considering how long and tense the transformation was in the anime, I was surprised it happened in less than a page.

That's the magic of filler.

Another testament to how much good filler can add to something, I guess.

A very accurate description Dragon Ball Z as a whole◊.

I'm guessing the flavor would be vanilla...

Senzu bean flavor.

I guess that's true.

There's some flavour though. There's a lot of background info we still don't know.

I wish Toriyama did a better job of revealing it though.

~Glares at Gine~

I'll never understand that one. It makes no sense at all.

I missed the chance to join in on some good ol' fashioned Broly bashing (re: speaking the truth about the awful character)?

I still think his Is truce the same as Coffin joke is funny.

I always will.

I also enjoyed the beat down he gave the Z warriors.

I don't see him as anything more than a engine of destruction who makes me laugh cause he's trying to kill everyone for really silly reasons.

I suddenly want fan art of Piccolo and Tien becoming the best of friends.

They spend so much time brooding at the same corner, they had to have bonded somehow.

Not alone.

But I wouldn't say silly. I mean, remembering Goku from infancy, yeah, silly. But other then that, he was doing it because he was fricking crazy, and probably because his father had him trained like a dog since adolescence.

...thinking about it now, that collar was able to restrain a Super Saiyan. I wonder how that would fit into the Expanded Universe. Like, if Frieza found that scientist first...

x5 Yeah, the whole scenario with Gine is pretty sad. But at least Toriyama implied she tried to fight. Tarble, on the hand... good God... what a failure he was. No wonder Vegeta never talked about him. If I had a brother who couldn't throw a punch if his life depended on it and instead of getting tougher when he was sent away on another planet, married an alien robot, I'd burn every single bridge with him. Tarble truly is a waste of Saiyan blood. Its made even worse by the fact that his existence in the Dragon Ball universe was made officially Hand Waved in Battle Of Gods by Toriyama. So it's not even a case of it being a one time non-serial thing, Tarble really is Vegeta's official brother.

In a way though, Gine being the one exerting effort might be making things worse. Even born with the burning blood of a fight hungry race, the woman can't fight, even if she tried to punch you. All her efforts to push herself were meaningless, when her true talents lied in the kitchen~

There's that other Saiyan girl in Team Bardock that measured up pretty well with the dudes but still.

Toriyama:"BECAUSE I SAID SO"

How did Saiyans like Tarble and Gine exist when everyone else had fighting spirit within them? Are they like genetic disorders of the race or something?

I honestly believe that trying and failing is way more respectful than not trying at all, which was heavily implied with Tarble. Gine wasn't a Blood Knight at heart, when trying to invoke the trope is backfired many time and lead to Bardock having to save. She eventually realize, "I guess this ain't my thing" and retired from fighting. Tarble never tried. He not only accepted his worthlessness in battle but embraced it and then spent most of his life running away from his problems. That is such an anti-Saiyain like behavior. You thought Bardock actually caring about his family in Dragon Ball Minus was kind weird behavior for an Anti-Villain Blood Knight, that's nothing compared to Tarble. I'm sorry if I'm ranting on about Tarble, but he is just such a badly written character, it's not even funny. He is the Yamcha of the Saiyan race.

I honestly think that the reason Gine and Trable exist is because Toriyama wanted the end all the bullshit fanfiction about Goku and Vegeta's long lost relatives.

Although another theory could be that pure hearted of Gine and Tarble would strongly imply that the legend of the Super Saiyan God isn't total bullshit. For all we know they could be the descendants of the Saiyans who aided to activating the first ever Super Saiyan God all those years ago. And that would be another case of unintentional Fridge Brilliance from Toriyama.

Oh yeah, the fan fiction. I may have very strong opinions against Gine, but at least she's not frickin' Hanasia.^note I enjoy DB Multiverse otherwise.

I vastly prefer a kick-ass Saiyan woman to a chef.
