I mean how else could Goten & Trunks have become Super Saiyans?

All those hits to the dick Goku & Vegeta got turned their sperm into super sperm. tongue

[up] Exactly.

If he kicks Trunks in the nuts, how is Trunks going to be able to even have Children?

Senzu's don't grow on trees you know?

...In fact, what the hell do they grow on?

Simple. Donate whichever sperm manage to survive. I never said Trunks' happiness needed to factor into this equation. Go all mad scientist on this. Whichever sperm survive the Vegeta dick-kicking will have substantially increased in power.

As for where Senzu Beans come from...

...

...where exactly do they come from? Korin just shows up with them. I'd like to think he has a planter with a little bonzai tree-shaped, Senzu Bean root somewhere.

Remember that Super 13 did destroy Goku's nuts but the beans healed em up right quick.

I think there was a filler arc about the Senzu Beans wasn't there? I know it was a thing in Attack of the Saiyans.

I believe Korin grows them, and the only Senzu plant in existence is in his tower.

Okay, I'm going to give Super another shot. This time I am just going to start with the movies and then start where return of Freeza ends with the subbed anime. Hopefully by then I will be invested enough to not instantly stop watching like I did with episode one of the anime the moment Goku opened his mouth.

No, I literally couldn't stand Goku having the voice of a little boy.

Honestly, the first few episodes are pretty good. The ones between Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' are pretty great too.

[up]That part doesn't change and has been consistent for the whole franchise. Watch the dub if Nozawa bothers you that much.

[up][up] Ha I get ya, I get ya. [lol]

I myself don't like Nozawa's voice but fuck it I have learned to tolerate it. The dub is so far fucking behind so I literally have no other option.

[up] The Battle of Gods & Ressurection F arc are the worst parts of Super. Arha just watch the movies, at least the animation will be better.

Well, I'm fully expecting a cheap cash in like bringing back Freeza to be awful, but isn't Battle of Gods supposed to be really good?

The movie is. The Super version of it drags on for-freaking-ever.

Well yes the overall story is good but ya see the TV version of Gods had the climactic fight really stretched out to the point it wasn't fun anymore.

The majority of the main fight basically becomes guys throw one punch, they stop, & everyone spends 5 minutes reacting & talking about how powerful said punch was. Rinse & repeat till like the last episode.

[up] Yeah pretty much that. Though everything leading up to it was decent with some pretty good jokes added by the dub.

Personally, I liked both of the movie retellings in Super just as much as the movies themselves, albeit in different ways. While they are longer and more drawn out, getting to see more of Beerus being a horrible God of Destruction is fun, and Freeza's extra scenes interacting with the other characters are great.

The animation is significantly worse in some places, like in SS3 Goku vs Beerus and much of Goku vs Freeza, but the writing and direction is better in some places, like in most of SSG Goku vs Beerus, Blue Vegeta vs Freeza, and Freeza destroying Earth. If you're really impatient, the movies are shorter and perfectly fine, but I would recommend checking out Super's take on it if you have the patience, and definitely watch the in-between arc episodes.

Oh, that. Yeah, I'm aware that the Dragonball anime has always had terrible pacing. That's a big reason I'm going with the movies instead. And some of the added anime sounds just sound incredibly irritating.

Why is Puar still alive?

Because he's a cat that has to be like fifty years old at this point!

Puar's like a year younger than Oolong, who's 3 or 4 years younger than Goku.

He's not a normal cat though. Same with Oolong, I'm pretty sure a pig isn't supposed to live that long.

They both went to shape-shifter school.

Even then this is DB. Weird shit abounds.

A cat-like alien thing is a Destroyer Deity for example.

Oh boy. Pilaf. And the other two. Just who I wanted to see. Ugh, I do not look forward to that Mai/Trunks thing I've heard about.

Was this what Mai's personality was even like back in Dragonball? I feel like she was stupider.

cringecringecringe this is terrible I didn't know the Trunks/Mai stuff would be starting already. She's old enough to be his grandmother! Okay apparently less time has passed than I thought. Or did Super screw up the dates?

Yeah this is definitely not what Mai's personality was. I guess I don't really care though, there wasn't much you could do with the original version of the character.

Aaaand Roshi is a creep. Well, no news there.

Bingo dance Vegeta was more impressive than grrr you hurted my wifey! crap.

Also I don't feel the stakes for this at all. Even if Beerus blew up the Earth he'd just go home and go back to bed, then King Kai would be like 'Hey Namekians I lost my Earth have you seen it anywhere hey why don't you just wish me up a new one thanks!'
