@Nikkolas: Super Saiyan Pan! Are you implying that women in Dragon Ball can reach the same power as the Saiyan man!?

Lol

@ Saiga

Fair enough about the Daizenshuu thing.

And doesn't each SSJ transformation make you 50x stronger?

So SSJ 3 Goku is 50 times more powerful than Vegeta. That's why it's relevant.

Only the first Super Saiyan is a 50x boost. Then Super Saiyan 2 is 2x Super Saiyan 1, and Super Saiyan 3 is 4x Super Saiyan 2.

So SS3 Goku is 4x stronger than SS2 Vegeta. And I'm not trying to say that SS2 Vegeta is going to rival SS3 Goku directly, but there's only one transformation apart which makes it plausible for Vegeta to achieve that himself and level the playing field. Then the fact that SS3 is so inefficient might mean that SS3 doesn't even come up and they stick to SS2 only, much like the Graded Super Saiyan forms that were abandoned.

Something's been bothering me...

Piccolo and Kami are linked and all. Piccolo Sr. spits out Ma Junior, and since he's a reincarnation, Kami still survives.

So...When Piccolo is dying against the Saiyans, why doesn't he pull that card again, to keep the Dragon Balls? Original Piccolo managed to muster the strength to go Yoshi, and he had a hole on his chest. And the whole Piccolo Jr., thing on its own raises a couple more questions about the life link between Kami and Piccolo, and...

Because Vegeta and Nappa were right there. They would've killed new!Piccolo before he even got the chance to hatch.

but HOW?

Piccolo Junior can't lay eggs.

"If you called out your technique’s name during a fight, you’d probably get your ass kicked" - quote from Toriyama in one of the recent Q & A's. His reasoning for why he didn't actually like naming techniques, I know he's said similar before but the way this was said made me laugh.

The rest of the Q & A's. Not fond of most of it because a lot of it is extremely unnecessary and full of retcons. I do like the tidbit about there being fusion techniques for things other than fighting.

Mister Satan wife name was Miguel [lol]

Saiga - During Buu Saga there was huge difference between them even with Goku sticking to SSJ 2 which is why Vegeta went Majin.

@ Super Saiyan 4 broly: Daw, no Ascended Meme based on the MUGEN version of SJJ 4 broly (With the green fur).

Still, holy shit.

It would be an even bigger shit storm if Broly gets a Super Saiyan God form in heroes....

He's the Legendary Super Saiyan God you mean.

The others are just imitators.

Broly has been declaring himself a god for many years before Battle of the Gods came out.

I think he might have said both... It's been a good while but I'm distinctly remembering one of his win quotes in either Budokai 3 or Budokai Tenkaichi 3 being "I AM A GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!"

And then there was this exchange in a story mode in one of those games too:

Piccolo: What an enormous power level! He's a monster!

Broly: Monster? No, you are wrong...I am a GOD!!

Wait, Broly just barely got a Majin form and he's already going SSJ-4!?

If he does go SSJG, his hair wouldn't be the bright red Goku's is. It'd be blood orange. tongue

It's weird how Pan still doesn't have SSJ even though the female avatars can go SSJ-3.

Nobody respects Pan-chan. :(

I've always liked her. One of the few things I did like about GT. Great character design and full of pep.

Some dubbed Battle Of God scenes:

Vegeta singing about bingo

Super Saiyan 3 Goku vs Beerus

This is why many people consider Dragon Ball Z one of the few animes where the dub sounds more natural than the subbed version. Sabat nailed that bingo scene and Krillin's line, "Okay, he's been drinking more than Gohan!" [lol]

Beerus sounds a bit more menacing than the Japanese version but considering the sort of shit he pulls later in the movie it's justifiable.

Sean Schemmel... what more can be said? The more the years go by, the more you outclass Nozawa. In my opinion, you are Son Goku.

Funimation, you've outdone yourselves. I think more people are gonna love this movie dubbed than subbed. smile

[up] I'm just saying, people have started flame wars over less. Though, I don't think they actually happen here, as far as I know, so I don't think you actually have much to worry about.

We're all civil and level headed here on this forum, so I don't think any flame wars would start just based on one meager opinion made by little old me. smile

Dubbed Dragonball Movies, except no substitutes.

Also put me in the camp for those wanting a Super Saiyan Pan from Heroes. I mean for me it's probably because I read fan fics and comics when she is endearing because the nostalgia goggles weren't working for me rewatching GT on Nicktoons. Still a Super Saiyan Pan is a Super Saiyan Pan!

That scene, however, just gave me an ulcer.

Oh no, it's not even the voice being particularly bad.

It's just worse because now I know exactly what they're saying. Before I had to pay attention to the bottom of the screen.

Frieza probably sh't himself when this happened.
