I-I...Well I bet you don't know Bulma's power level!

She was given a battle power of 12 in a promotional pamphlet for DBZ Movie 3, but that's obviously inaccurate.

HA SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL ANSWER. I WIN.

No, that is the answer. Officially all she has is 12. I know that's inaccurate.

You don't know any more than that so you don't win.waii

Look: at least both of us can take solace in not being the Dragon Ball wiki, listing Super Saiyan 1 Gohan as over 900,000,000 and Super Saiyan 2 Goku as 300,000,000.

so what happens if I delete the .zip?

edit: Oh man the wiki has Cooler stronger than Super Saiyan 2 Goku. That's hilarious.

This is why you don't mash together every official game and pamphlet battle power and pass it off as all on the same scale.

After clearing the Freeza arc, I managed to make a slightly more unique outfit. Used parts of the White Ginyu Force gear and Kuririn's gear from quests to keep the right stamina and ki boosts.

I also completed the Cell arc tonight and unlocked... GT Trunks and Kid Chichi's outfits. The most optimal choice right now would be Trunks' gloves and boots, with Chichi's top and bottom. Big upgrade but I look so much worse... I wish I could just equip Ox King's gear that I also unlocked, but it's male only.

Also I think all of the "new" Earthling gear is ki-boosting only, so I will never get a gear set I can change the colours of. Lame.

Pretty certain Goku never did that. He's always fought his hardest against anyone until he's ABSOLUTELY certain he can't win.

With the exception of Cell, Goku always kept fighting even after that certainty. Always looking for an angle, for some way to prevail; it's just that, in some cases, that way to prevail was to remove himself from the equation in some form of another. Goku quitting the Cell fight because he just can't win so it's pointless to try is an outlier, not a trend, that exists because the Cell Saga is shit.

The only times he doesn't fight his hardest are when he's certain he can win. Goku nerfs himself to make the fight more interesting and will even stop the fight if he feels his adversary just isn't up to par, even when that adversary is Frieza.

Saiga, aren't those power levels from some video game or book or something? Also, they kind of need to list this stuff anyways, since you can't really be called an encyclopedia of DB knowledge if you only post stuff on the manga and official interviews, otherwise you're as bad as the Kanzenshuu which barely has any knowledge on anything outside of the databooks listed.

[up][up]Wouldn't the Cell saga fall under the " Remove himself from the equation" point you made?

Bulma's powerlevel should be at or lower than 5.

A farmer, who spends every day of his life doing physical work, rated a measly 5. So Bulma, a scientist who hasn't had an adventure in years, should rate below that.

He was kinda overweight though.

And uneducated. I don't think he'd try things like meditation or whatever.

Bulma might.

Besides, Bulma strikes me as the type to be exercising fairly regularly to keep her figure to the way she likes, or whatever.

Hey, how screwed would the gang be if Dr. Gero had the notion to give Bulma's scientific mind to Cell, via Dragon Ball genetics?

Why would he have not been arrogant enough to use his own mind instead?

It wouldn't even be arrogance, Bulma admitted that Gero was way ahead of her and her father in that department.

I'm pretty sure Bulma uses something other than exercise to maintain her figure. She doesn't strike me as the kind who has time to exercise. Besides, sex with Vegeta ought to be an incredible work out.

Bulma or even Dr. Gero's scientific mind on Cell would've been an Instant Game Over, because Cell would've just created another pair of androids in secret, and promptly absorbed them, reaching his perfect form without anyone ever bothering him.

How many teenagers do you think Gero butchered before he made 17 and 18?

How many teenagers are still alive, how many babies are still being made, and what is the average life expectancy of each of those babies while 17 and 18 are massacring the planet?

What sorts of raw materials, wires, circuit boards and other parts are still available for use and not melted into slag? Because I don't think Gero actually had his own manufacturing plant, not after the Red Ribbon Army went under. Too conspicuous.

He made his robots in a cave with a box of scraps, but not in a cave with a bunch of unrefined metal ore.

Cell could go around salvaging what's left. I'm pretty sure he can find what he needs eventually. 17 and 18 haven't destroyed absolutely everything yet, and they certainly didn't raze the world until it was all a barren wasteland.

So I asked this before, but how come when they make their alterations to the past, Towa and Mira don't just create Alternate Universes the way Trunks did?

Probably because they are corrected by the Time Patrol quickly unlike with Trunks where no one went back and stopped him from killing Frieza.
