Cool. I guess it counts.

So....Super Saiyan Blue Vegito when?

I know Toriyama seems to want to forget it now, but now that he's shown two ways to undo earring fusion (being absorbed by Buu while encased in a force-field, then letting down the forcefield while in his body and escaping, and the far simpler method of use the namekian dragon balls) there's really no reason for him not to come back when an enemy strong enough comes along.

I of course, am fully aware that this is entirely the reason Goku and Vegeta seem to refuse to work together, even though back then it was Goku who convinced Vegeta to use the earrings because they had failed so unbelievably hard that this was the only chance to fix things and he was actually angry that Vegeta crushed the earrings when they were in Buu. It's clear he just doesn't like him and wants to avoid that so that he can have his protagonists purposefully make every bad choice imaginable in order to create drama.

I mean, Goku now has a button that summons God. Drama only exists because they love taking suboptimal solutions so much.

Not that it's anything new, mind you. Buu saga is a chronicle of Sayains winning despite their best efforts to sabotage themselves at every opportunity.

If they tried to play it off like dat, maybe people could forgive the more idiotic moments of the characters.

Good point.

Makes you wonder if Frieza had the right idea, even if it was for the wrong reasons.

Or that if the Saiyans had been left to their own devices after the war with the Tuffles, they'd have wiped themselves out eventually.

The entire series contains stupid people doing stupid people.

Yes.

I assumed by the fact that there's an edit note that you are aware of what that sentence says?

Are you sure you want to keep it that way? 100%?

Also Black is very different then Goku in personality. Goku would not have gone on about the beauty of his form and stuff like that.

Fair enough. Just wanted to be sure.

It is pretty accurate.

1) Goku and Chi-Chi. The latter married the former. The former is the former.

2) Bulma and Vegeta. The former has high intelligence and extremely low wisdom. The latter's ego has it's own gravitational pull. Together, they fuck up a whole lot.

3) Krillin and 18.....not that stupid compared to the other two. Krillin chooses to spare 18 is the stupidest thing he did, but that resulted in him marrying her. 18 chose not to run from Cell despite being told to do so multiple times, but beyond that seems pretty on the ball.

So yeah, stupid doing stupid people and having children. A very fair assessment. Marron will be the smartest kid in the series since her parents aren't quite as dumb.

Everything post-Freeza pretty much arises from Idiot Plot. Like, that's not new.

I think I enjoy it a bit more in the Cell Saga than in Buu, though.

And yeah please make Fusions come to the west I would buy that so fast omg.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Not unless it's a digital PS 3 download otherwise I can't play it. If I have to suffer Dragonball withdrawal so do 500,000 others.

Of course that wouldn't be a problem if Xenoverse 2 would just come out already.

Because it's the strongest Super Saiyan form ever, without having to rely on God energy.

It's poorly designed and suffers hard of 90s edginess.

Well of course, it was made in the 90s remember? This entire franchise is 32 years old.

Nothing else in the entire series is a quarter as edgy as Super Saiyan 4.

Neither even comes close to a furry transformation that creates eyeshadow, turns the user into a Walking Shirtless Scene, and ages the protagonist up into an adult to Shoo Out the Clowns with the same character.

Just get rid of that red eyeshadow and SSJ4 will be all good in the hood.
