[up][up]And funny enough, given time chamber shenanigans, Goku would be the "older brother" by age, even if their relationship remains the same.

Nah, spending 8 years dead compensates. Bulma was still a few years older anyway.

Reminder that Goku, due to years spent death, is physically only 11 years older than Gohan or so.

He did spent a few years inside the chamber, so the gap is drastically shorter. By about 6 or 5 now.

One way I'd upgrade the time chamber is for a Person's Soul to be in the time chamber while the body rests up, so it would be like being in the afterlife for a short time, and after a year, they'd walk out as if they'd never aged.

Its the room of SPIRIT and time for a reason. May as well incorporate the spirit part more. It would also incorporate more Xianxia elements that influenced Dragon Ball, as high level Qi users can freely split their soul from their body in order to reach higher realms of power in the spirit world, Kinda similar to Goku training in the afterlife, only they aren't really dead.

I feel like you desperately want Dragon Ball to go full Xianxia with how often you bring it up

Dragon Ball already is Xianxia lol.

Ok but seriously there are many that do think so. And even I am starting to agree.

Goku and Bulma's familiarity especially makes her relationship with Vegeta funnier, since Bulma expressly notes she has more faith in Goku than her own husband to solve whatever problem is beguiling them.

Which granted its also Vegeta's fault anyway since he is notoriously unreliable anyway. tongue

Ironically not even Goku is more reliable but there actually isnt anyone who actually is so they are screwed anyway.

Thing is Gokh has literally saved her life for decades now.

So even with his flaws he can be trusted to get the job done compared to Vegeta who has an active history of making things worse.

I know Heroes is developed by Dimps, but looking at gameplay like this makes me hope Spike adds team attacks to the next Tenkaichi (that is if 5v5 matches are brought back).

I hope they bring back transformations. Man I miss those.

The days when you can transform a character mid-match instead of the transformed forms being separate characters to pick from.

Judging by the teaser trailer, I'm pretty sure they're coming back. I do hope they're as cinematic as Frieza and Cooler's were in Raging Blast, I believe Goku's SSB transformation in the teaser is based on his transformation in DBS Broly.

Okay so this might be the wildest thing I have ever seen in Dragonball Tenkaichi

Kid Buu's CPU just dominating the player.

If Uub's energy was strong enough to help Goku's spirit bomb kill Moro, does that retroactively make Kid Buu stronger than what he was originally in Z? Or that reincarnation made Uub stronger?

They never really elaborated on that.

Buu had no idea of how to use divine ki, I think that was the explanation.

I think the idea is that Kid Buu had a ton of Godly Ki and magic power from the Daikaioshin, but no intelligence to access it. So Kid Buu was only as strong when fighting Goku and Vegeta as he was originally, but if he had a little bit of intelligence, he could have been far, far stronger.

The best version of that is not just Boo teleporting constantly but when he also just decides to perfect block your attack before teleporting as well.

Mother's basement just recently posted a video about the importance of letting things end, and how letting something go past its expiration date just results in diminishing returns;

I feel this is relevant to current discussions.

Considering Toriyama's past comments on 17 and 18 getting stronger through training, I feel like the same can be said with Uub. The Androids were already stronger than Frieza when activated, and we already saw how much stronger 17 is now after all that rangering. Considering Uub has the power Kid Buu stored up inside him as his base power, who knows how much stronger he could potentially get via training.
