Close. 100% Frieza is 120 mil, SS Goku is 150 mil. So there's a pretty big gap between them. Supposedly, any scene in that fight where Frieza seems to be winning is filler.

That's correct.

Frieza was never a match for Super Saiyan Goku. Even after he hit his full power, he was still weaker than Goku even ignoring the fact that his power started bleeding like a sieve.

The anime let Frieza get a few good hits in and even faked out the audience with the possibility that he'd killed Goku, but in the manga, Goku utterly dominates that portion of the fight before attempting to quit the field because of Frieza's complete inability to carry his end of the fight.

In the anime, his announcement of, "I'm leaving because you're pathetic," is a bit more jarring due to the fact that Frieza almost killed him not long ago.

I remember that. What a weird moment. Goku gets knocked out for awhile, Gohan shows up, punks Frieza, and then Goku tags back in.

I kept meaning to rewatch that to figure out just why Goku was knocked out of bounds in the first place.

Even back then, they were overhyping Frieza.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

I don't know. Goku got a pretty huge boost in power. One could always assume that in the anime they just depicted him screwing around because he knows he can win easily.

At this point the problem isn't so much that they're overhyping Freeza but rather that Goku is incredibly pissed and wouldn't screw around at this point.

Unless he was doing it to deliberately mock Freeza by letting him beat up his body and do no damage.

Given that the entire reason why he quit was because he wanted to drive home to Frieza how utterly, completely, entirely impotent the Overlord was against him, I'm not sure what Goku would gain by screwing around and letting Frieza think the fight was more even than it was.

Frieza was the progenitor of Can't Catch Up.

Humiliation points.

The first chapter is out. We're beyond news.

Also, Vegeta is the best cheerleader.

The manga has the fake out as well, it happens when they're wishing everyone killed by Freeza back to life.

Freeza rams Goku into the ocean, everyone gets revived, Goku gets back up, and Freeza asks if hr's a zombie.

So I found the chapter and uh... it looks like it's a remake of the battle of gods plot?

Also Goku cannot math.

Goku can totally math. Roshi taught him, after all.

He just chooses not to.

And Vegeta is best cheerleader.

Seriously, check out his spirit fingers on the cover. I really hope he shows up to the first battle carrying pom-poms.

  • VEGETA: I had an epiphany when we were fighting Buu that Kakarot's always going to be the strongest.
  • KRILLIN: Oh. Welcome to the club. That doesn't explain the—

I'm not.

I'm still not done with Xenoverse as is, and when I want to play a fighting game...

My PS 2 still works, so I just put in Budokai Tenkaichi 2.

I just found out that Super will introduce a new character - Champa - who looks like Beerus fat cousin. If this was a sitcom, he would have just lost a job, got dumped by his girlfriend and needed to sleep at Beerus couch.

...

On the go?

The only time I'm 'on the go' is on the bus to and from work, and walking to and from bus stops.

If I had a PSP, Vita, GBA, DS or 3DS, it would probably last all of ten seconds on my hands before someone mugged me.
