I always kind of figured Cell fully metabolized all of his victims and didn't produce any waste products. I mean, considering how nonsensical everything about him would be in real life, what harm would adding a "doesn't need to poop" function do?

This talk about Cell pooping out 18 reminds me of this. Dragon Ball SD could've been 10 times better than it ended up being.

Recoome always struck me as a Dumb Muscle character (no offense). Ginyu switching bodies with a frog was priceless, along with Jeice getting punched in the face by Goku and the fight following that XD!

Uh, no. Did you not get the memo? The blond thing is pretty much the only indicator.

In recent months I've come to appreciate Super Buu immensely. I used to not have a favorite DB villain, but he was definitely my least liked. This has done a complete 180 and he's now my favorite. waii

He's my favorite as well. I didn't care much for him at first but I find something appealing about his fluctuating intelligence.

He was immensely entertaining against Gotenks and entertaining in a different way against Gohan.

I'm not a fan of Super Buu, but I was rooting for him in the fight with Gotenks, considering how foolhardy the guys is.

Super Buu is very smart, very stupid, and very powerful.

Well, ok, more childlike than stupid, but the mix of intelligence and lack of maturity combined with all that power, and Buu's already Confusion Fu heavy fighting style means that you seriously did not know what the fuck to expect out of him.

More so than any who came before him. Toss in a level of regeneration that surpasses Cell's (coming back when he was only fucking smoke? How is that even fair?!), and you were in for a totally insane battle.

I actually like all forms of Buu, because on top of being a legitimate threat, he was silly in a way that we had not seen from Dragon Ball Villains in the longest time.

Ever since Piccolo came onto the scene, the bad-guys became stone cold serious, so it was nice to see someone who could destroy the entire planet Earth one minute, and then take a few minutes to laugh hysterically when he knocked someone on his ass before getting sick of it the next.cool

Buu: Will you stop that? Fight like a man!

Vegito: Do you see a man around!? -proceeds with beatdown-

[lol]

Probably the only thing I liked about Vegito other than the Spirit Sword.

I love how painfully anxious Gohan is here. It's almost as if he's actually thinking he's about to be molested. It really does set an eerie mood.

So I have a question; is it universally agreed that the Kaio-ken and Kaio-ken x2 are the same thing at this point, or do some people think they give different increases in power?

Some people still think that, but most people are in agreement on that.

And that's what it officially is anyway.

That always did confuse me that sometimes it's Kaioken and sometimes it's Kaioken x2, despite the former making no sense relative to the latter. Would that mean Kaioken is a multiplication of x1? tongue

I want to see Kaioken x0.

I just figured that if Kaioken doubles power, then Kaioken X2 doubles that.

So If you have a power level Over 9000!!!!!

~Ducks a brick~

....er, a power level of 1200, Kaioken would make it 2400, and Kaioken X2 would make it 4800.

How does that sound?

That's wrong.tongue

Kaio-ken x2 double base power as well. The reason they're the same is because it's the minimum level.

Kaio-ken became Kaio-ken x2 when x3 was introduced. Budokai 3 suggests that Kaio never intended for it to be taken further than Kaio-ken x2, offering an alternate explanation - it's originally just known as Kaio-ken because it was only intended to be a doubling effect rather than an increasing multiplier.

So....then what was....

Right. I need to watch those eps where Goku was fighting Vegeta again. I'm clearly forgetting things again.

Personally, I always saw the normal Kaio-ken as a x1.5 multiplier.

Kaioken is just short for Kaioken x2.

I think it's kinda ridiculous that he uses Kaioken x100 in Lord Slug. He literally went Super Saiyan 2 by doing that, before Super Saiyan 1 was even a thing.

[up][up][up] Well, he went Super Saiyan in that movie before Super Saiyan was a thing, and fought a guy said to be even stronger than Freeza before 100% Freeza was a thing, and said guy was said to be stronger than Super Saiyan Goku as well before that was a thing, so it's appropriate.
