[up]

DBZA's does take some of its jokes from the dubs the series has had over the years. For example wasn't that part in the Lord Slug movie (the Super Namekian AND being the discarded half of an elder Namek) referencing the undubbed script AND the English dub for it?

Dragonball meets One Punch Man, huh. It's about time. OPM just got an anime too.

-reads-

I love this. The art styles aren't all that different. Vegeta's a little OOC but given OPM's satirical nature, it works. Is it official or just a fan work?

Well damn, I love it. One Punch Man is good, One Punch Man x Dragonball is even better.

I want Saitama to meet Krillin and Tien and think they must be the strongest out of all the Z-Fighters.

I kind of want to see Saitama vs Beerus or Whis.

Thematically, I'd say Saitama knocks him the f'ck out. Objectively, you'd have to look at Saitama's fight with Lord Boros and compare it to Beerus, but I'd still wager Saitama wins.

On a somewhat different topic, I didn't know this scene was in GT.

On a completely different note, did anyone notice Satan took multiple punches from the titular One Punch Man?

No wonder Saitama let him win.

Beerus can destroy galaxies while Saitama's best feat is punching a hole through the moon. Saitama still hasn't shown his full power yet but I can't see him challenging Krillin in canon, much less Beerus.

As much as I like Krillin, you might be selling Cape Baldy a little short there Pushover.

Until shown otherwise I am assuming that Saitama is capable of destroying anything in a single punch.

I'm gonna wait until he shows his actual full power before I start comparing him to people.

But he punched Satan multiple times just now and didn't kill him.

Those Adamantium Satanium injections sure did pay off.

It's just, usually Saitama's cherry taps send the opponent skywards. I guess it comes down to whether Saitama decided to let Hercule win before or after the first punch - probably the former.

So wait, was there a point where Satan didn't have a fro and mustache?

Also, I kinda have a passing interest to watch the entire series again with the Ocean dub. Is it still good, or objectively worse than Funimation? I remember watching the very first few episodes as a kid with the Ocean dub.

I say stick with Ocean until the Android Saga.

Piccolo and Vegeta's voices were great, but then you get to scenes like when Vegeta was in the rain, lamenting his defeat against the Androids. I say the Funimation version sounded better around this point, Vegeta sounds more pissed off, conflicted, older, losing his purpose in life. I like to imagine it marks his gradual shift toward anti-hero when you switch between those versions.

Yeah, I remember Ocean Piccolo basically being Wolverine.

Found this picture and thought it was exceptionally radical.

EDIT: It's kinds funny that you used that clip to show Funi's superiority, because I feel like Drummond's Vegeta still carries a sense of... nobility, I guess? It's different. I kinda like it.

Why DID the original anime decide to make the retarded decision to make Vegeta's Ascended Super Saiyan form comparable to a non-existent ancient race of Super Saiyans when nothing even remotely similer to that is in the manga?

Did you even watch the clip? In both Ocean and Funi OG, he whines that the 'ancient Super Saiyan race of legend' wouldn't have lost to an Android and throughout the anime version of the Semi-Cell beatdown he's monologuing in his head that he has finally realized the ancient power of this race of Super Saiyans and that he is now worthy to be the king.

Coming off of the manga, which has nothing even slightly like that, makes the whole thing seem like a bizarre Non Sequitur that really messes with the established continuity, as well as an unnecessary continuation of Vegeta's character arc from the Freeza Saga.

I don't think Vegeta is saying that there is any sort of legendary ancient Super Saiyan Race that looked like Super Vegeta. All he's really saying is that the fact that his legendary form of ultimate power that he'd worked his whole life towards achieving turned out to not be strong enough, which was fucking bullshit, which just meant that he wasn't a true Super Saiyan yet, because a true Super Saiyan would reduce his enemies to ash with a flick of his hand. There was a level of power that was still beyond him that he needed to reach.

"The invincible Super Saiyans were an ancient warrior race!" -Anime Vegeta

Rewatch the Semi-Cell fight; it's bizarre, and completely changes Vegeta's entire character for the Cell Saga. I'm just surprised that no-one has ever mentioned it when talking about why the anime sucks.

Seriously, look at this: most of Vegeta's dialogue about his new form is connecting it to this non-existent race of Ascended Super Saiyans and congratulating himself for having risen up to their level:
