[up] No, you misunderstand. That scene wasn't meant to be impressive for Trunks, it was meant to be impressive for Trunk's sword as it showcased that it could grow in size depending upon who held it. Sadly, this ability never got brought up but it's still there.

See, there are two androids, so Toriyama needed Trunks to beat no only Freeza but also another guy close to his strength to establish that each Android is individually stronger than Freeza.

King Cold should've been the one to gather the Dragon Balls to resurrect Frieza.

  • KING COLD: My son! I have raised you from the dead!
  • FRIEZA: What, really? Wow. I would have wished for immortality.
  • KING COLD: We're on New Namek. There's still two wishes left!

Personally,if i were Freeza's mooks i'd ask what Pilaf's wish was beforehand.Money should be easy to steal.

Then bam!Two wishes.

Toriyama needed someone to retrieve Frieza while also upping the ante some. Random mooks finding him and repairing him doesn't have the same threat as his father that was established previously doing it and then accompanying him to Earth.

Yes, yes, I know. Revival of F. Blah.

I know there's virtually no evidence Toriyama wanted to end there, but I'd have been okay with Frieza being the end.

Actually, Piccolo Jr. would've been a decent end, too.

I don't think Super Perfect Cell is comparable to SS1 Gohan. Cell was winning that beam struggle quite easily and I believe Gohan's 50% was his holding back level.

Speaking of Cell, would Goku have let Cell become perfect?

[up][up] So, I'm confused, do you think SP Cell was stronger or weaker than SS Gohan?

Stronger than SS1 Gohan, weaker than SS2.

I follow the Budokai 1 interpretation where Gohan and SP Cell could have had a mostly even fight but Cell would be at a disadvantage until he killed Trunks and Gohan got injured.

[up] I'm not sure how Dabura could be as strong as Cell, then.

#17114: May 20th 2015 at 4:00:27 PM

Because Cell has more than one level of power.

There is a guidebook that says Gohan was SS2 when he fought Dabra so if you believe that Dabra could easily be SS2.

Eeh, probably not. It would've required the death of the Androids, and Goku only lets people power up when it doesn't require murdering people.

I mean, Vegeta is petty and vain enough that he probably cares about everyone's opinion.

Here's a game I like to play whenever Vegeta goes into his internal monologues about being the strongest and blah blah blah. Which he does several times.

Imagine what he looks like to everyone else who just see him standing there.

I think Krillin could draw on his face and he wouldn't even notice.

EDIT: Oh my god he literally thinks "why won't you leave me alone".

Are there people who actually take Vegeta seriously?

How does anyone take Vegeta seriously?
