His point was "Bulma made a fucking time machine in a fucking post apocalyptic world out of fucking scrap to send her son back in fucking time to prevent the world from becoming a fucking wasteland."

And yes, the Cluster F-Bomb was totally necessary, because This Is for Emphasis, Bitch! is in full effect here, and I want to point out how insanely badass what Bulma did is.

Incidentally, whatever the motivation for it is, having Marron be guarded by 18 is the smart thing to do, because 18 is stronger than Krillin. And if someone were to sneak by 18, they have a great deal better chances to take on Krillin than they do on 18.

It's very Bad Ass.

Bulma's actions saved two worlds really.

Also, I don't see Krillin telling 18 to protect Marron as the work being sexist. He's just protecting his family. Just because he knows 18 is stronger than him doesn't mean he'd want her out there risking her life.

I find it pretty cute that 18 humored him instead of bringing up that point.

Edit: Anyway, something that made me chuckle.

What is with this fandom's obsession with Gratuitous Japanese? I can understand using the Japanese attack names but why bother calling Goku and Vegeta's species the Saiya-jin when Saiyan works perfectly well? What's wrong with calling it the Hyperbolic Time Chamber (which is a lot better than The Room of Spirit and Time)? Why do people call it Vegetasei instead of Planet Vegeta?

You get that stuff with any Manga and Anime fandom with edited American names, but flexibility is possible. For example I prefer american names for the Pokemon franchise but will use original names for Digimon.

It may just be my string of luck but I've noticed quite a bit of it while perusing through the fanfic recs (most of the ones we have fall squarely in the "The fuck?" territory).

[up] I can see the point in it on certain occasions but I'm talking about occasions where there is no point that I can see. I mean, I also use Saiya-jin when abbreviating Super Saiyan transformations if only because the absence of the J makes it look stupid.

Krillin: "'Vegetasei'? 'Vegeta Star'? Why not just go full-blown unoriginal and call the place the Death Star?"
Vegeta: "That's already what it means."

The latin dub used the japanese names.

So you'll hear me say "Saiya-jin", "Kakarotto", 'Kaioshin', 'Namekusei' and the like. At the same time, they grossly mispronounced Vegeta (Veguetta instead of 'Bejiita', which opens up a hilarious 'vergueta' pun (Verga is a very vulgar way of saying 'cock')) and quite a few other words like Namekusei, because unlike the Japanese, we pronounce our 'u's.

So do the Japanese, under the right situations. And sometimes when they feel like it (like with the name "Sakura" where sometimes the U is voiced and sometimes it isn't).

About the SSJ thing, without the J it just looks like you're talking about a ship. The SS Saiyan, ready for its maiden voyage.

Anyway.

There were some skills and Z Souls that were in Xenoverse for some of the characters that the first DLC pack let you use.

And I'm wondering if Super Saiyan 3 is possibly gonna be one of those in later DLC packs.

Super Saiyan 4 and God probably aren't because they're not technically transformation skills.

...Granted, it'd be disappointing if it didn't give the custom characters the long hair and take away the eyebrows.

Having a Super Saiyan 3 that looks exactly the same as normal just seems kinda wrong.

My primary motivation for wanting to play Xenoverse is to play as a female Super Saiyan.

Also, based on SSJ 4 Gogeta, it kinda seems like Super Saiyan 4 doesn't actually work like the other levels. Doesn't give you unlimited Supers or anything.

Kinda disappointing, really.

I beat the Buu Saga. Bought Super Saiyan 2 finally.

...Next up is Beerus.

At least I'll have God!Goku's help.

...Until that mission I keep hearing about where I have to fight Beerus and Whis with an extremely aggro Time Patrol Trunks.

Not looking forward to that, to be honest.

I don't think the all-energy capsules actually work in Time Patrol missions either. They didn't seem to. So I don't think I can actually heal the literal bastard.

If you ask me, the fight is easy considering who it is you're fighting but that may have been due more to my characters moves than anything else. I beat it at like level 55 though it may have been 57, and didn't even pay attention to Trunks at all. To be honest I didn't even realize he was aiding me in the fight until I heard others say he was getting his ass kicked.
