Doing that to Broly is so much fun.

As much as I DESPISE GT... the Para Para Dance should be the next Rick-Roll (he says in 2016).

...I could be imagining it, but Beerus and Whis seem to get really into it. To the extent that they sometimes do their animations for the dance before the user does them.

So it could almost be that it doesn't actually work on the two of them, but they do it anyway because they're dorks.

Or Xenoverse is a glitchy buggy mess.

Yes, when discussing Super Anime vs Super Manga, filler is not a relevant term. When discussing Original Dragon Ball vs TOEI's innovations, it is. Xenoverse came before Super.

Now I guess if a version of Super does drag Xenoverse or Heroes into its continuity, that will also force us to take a different look on everything past, but my wishful thinking is that it happens to Dragon Ball Online(which was comfortably in continuity until "Battle Of Gods" was released) or Jiya(which people thought Jaco was going to be a sequel to) first.

Again, doesn't Super's anime reference the old anime filer from Z sometimes?

Like.

Fine, you win. Filler is no longer a good reason to assume Xenoverse is out of continuity. Broly is, even though him being forced to dance is most appropriate.

I don't even know why Toei keeps mentioning their filler in Super. I get they were the ones who made it, but who really likes the filler? Besides the driving episode, of course.

They even mentioned the stupid Ginyu!Bulma stuff, and NO ONE likes that part.

Not to mention that there's absolutely no way in HFIL that Ginyuu could be alive anymore, even if he got teleported off of Namek for some reason.

I mean.

Porunga brought back all the other animals.

And the plants.

And Android 8.

...Maybe Namekian frogs just have really long lifetimes?

Or, like.

Maybe Ginyu had been a good frog since he got to Earth? Or, at least, not an evil one. Generally kind to his fellow frogs.

And went back to Frieza now because of the trauma of dying and having to meet the frog version of Yemma.

And because of the temptation of Frieza being back.

I mean, Vegeta got revived by that wish. So it's not like changing alignment is impossible.

Even if Ginyu killed more people than Vegeta, somehow I doubt he was as much of a dick about it.

...Also, Vegeta killed a stadium stand full of people literally that week. And he was smirking about it. How recent your last evil action was doesn't seem to be a factor.

I mean, the wish was technically to revive the not!evil people. Not just the "good" ones. Ginyu could go from evil to neutral in 11 years.

I think Ginyu might possibly have eventually just accepted being a frog. And tried to live as well as he could under his circumstances. Until Frieza came back after six more years and Ginyu remembered just how much he missed space taco tuesdays.

And that's assuming Porunga could tell the difference between Ginyu and any of the other frogs and wildlife and flora and fauna and killer androids Porunga brought back when he restored the planet Earth.

Who doesn't like filler? RESPECT THE FLAMING NAMEKIAN GOD OF WAR.

While it did have Frieza overreact to Goku taking out the Ginyu force, it also made Frieza and Cell besties.

People treat filler like it's sinful. FMA Filler led to the AU in FMA 2003. Filler led to Gohan fighting Cyborg Tao, Krillin beaning Goku upside the head, and Goku and Piccolo driving cars. Filler led to a far more satisfying final battle in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Filler is bad when you do it the way Naruto, One Piece, and Fairy Tail do with like 100+ episodes worth of filler arcs, or like Gantz, with the crappy filler at the end. Filler is bad when you're trying to argue what Goku or Vegeta can or can't do, it's not representative of what Toriyama originally wrote - as much as that's good for these days.

Yeah the Otherworld stuff before the Buu Arc is an example of decent filler really. Pikkon was a cool character and his fight with Goku was well-done enough. A shame the games STILL haven't given us the Super Kaio-Ken.

I can picture that being the case.

Whis, definitely. Beerus might just be humoring his opponent. I mean, that's pretty much the only reason either of them is beatable at any point.

Whis even has the most half-assed "oh no you've beaten me" lines in the game.

I think I made the perfect concept for a DB video game.

TL;DR - Think Dragon Ball Online and Xenoverse meets Heroes and then even more expanded!

The races are too complex for me. I'd prefer just an accurate version of the five races from Xenoverse with greatly expanded create-a-character options.

We only really need the races already present in Xenoverse and maybe the Kai race. All those 'transformations' are utterly ridiculous, too.

It's better for it to be simpler and easier to use than overcomplicated.
