My online writing has a tendency to fluctuate wildly.

This is by design.

And because I have a tendency to get caught in certain habits, especially when I'm unaware of them.

So I'd say it's a little of both.

My old English teachers would be so ashamed.

If I have any one particular way of writing then I have failed massively and entirely.

Honestly, I have been eternally curious about that since seeing your posts always irks a small part of me but I figured it'd be best if I didn't know.

Also, you're way of writing seems rather consistent to me.

No real use of commas. A lot of paragraph breaks.

Gives your posts a somewhat rambling feel to them.

Sentence fragments. Due to the no comas things sometimes.

Random blogs posts. Sometimes funny. Sometimes interesting. Sometimes not.

If I was making GT, it would be the exact same arc-line up as GT... but with alterations.

  • Baby: The first 10 or so episodes would be a definitive history of the Saiyan race, detailing how King Vegeta rose to power, wiped out the Tuffles and lost everything to Frieza. There would be no machine planet with a bunch of throwaway villains. I haven't figured out how to introduce Baby, but I figure a good place to start is jogging everyone's memories about Saiyan history and creating a consolidated history for the race.

  • Super 17: Literally no idea how to make this work.

  • Star Dragons: Same origin as in GT, in that they're born from the negative energy left in the balls as positive energy is used for wishes. Would not specify which wishes created which dragons, because that was a lame idea when you have so many throwaway dragons. To deal with them, I'd have each Saiyan member of the cast take on a dragon (or two), simultaneously. So while Goku and whoever are fighting Nuova and Eis Shenron, Gohan/Goten/whoever are fighting the other dragons. Omega Shenron is getting killed by Gogeta.

As I understand it, he came from one of the more blatantly evil wishes as well, so there's some interesting irony in that.

[up] You use the word "irony" quite incorrectly.

The Shadow Dragons were born due to too much negative energy in the Dragon Balls since they were only used for good wishes. Nuova Shenron came from a wish that was entirely selfish. Ergo, the fact that he's not really evil isn't ironic, it's logical.

I was of course, totally aware of that.

Anyway, Yes, one dragon essentially being good due to Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad is kinda cool.

Kinda funny that the Z-warriors would have been fucked if not for a single selfish wish when you think about it.

King Piccolo would end up saving a world he wanted to destroy.

Piccolo Daimaou was never interested in destroying the world. There's nothing to rule over if he destroys it.

King Piccolo is more than likely too weak to destroy Earth. I mean, if you extrapolate and assume that Roshi's power level was the bare minimum needed to destroy the moon, you'd need a power level of around 10,000 to destroy Earth.

I've heard most "fictional battles" debates flat-out ignore Roshi destroying the moon, dismissing it as an extreme outlier for comedy's sake.

I honestly like the idea that Goku COULD go and save everyone from the newest threat, but he's purposely not getting involved because he's a massive troll and wants to see if others can handle it.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

[up][up][up] What [up] said. Also, Piccolo, before kicking his training into high gear, was able to destroy the moon without breaking a sweat.

Destroying the moon and destroying the Earth wouldn't require that big of a difference in power.

...Probably?

Shit, I wish I was a physicist now.

10^29 J according to this and this to destroy the moon and with this destroying the Earth is only like 2 * 10^32 J.

...Goddammit I don't want to do this math. This is why I didn't go into physics. I had the math grades for it I just really didn't like doing it.

Okay, so, it takes 2000 times as much energy to destroy the Earth as it does the moon.

2000 times Master Roshi is 278000. Significantly stronger than Vegeta was when he was using that Galick Gun. And stronger than when he fought Frieza.

EDIT: So I was wrong and it actually takes more of a difference in power than what you said.

Depends on how you do it. Vegeta was certain the Gallick Gun would take out Earth. While it is a possibility that he might just be wrong, it's just as likely that he has tested it on planets of similar size and composition as Earth and it has worked.

Which means it might just happen to work by piercing all the way to the center of the planet and blowing up the core, much like how Freeza's attack destroyed Namek.

OR I just proved that power levels are bullshit using science.

I like my explanation better, naturally.

If we divide Vegeta's power level of 18000 by 2000 we get 9.

This means that two farmers or one kid Goku were strong enough to destroy the moon.
