It amazes me that the fanbase is made up of mostly 20-year-olds, and it's still just as stupid as when they were all preteens.

~.~ What's to debate? The series is pretty clear about who is stronger than who at a given time.

Lack of new material meant Vs. Debates and power level discussions(Was Gohan SSJ 2 or SSJ 1 during his fight with Dabura?) were all most fans had to discuss for years.

It's not as bad as those people who take old Nicktoons seriously.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of overlap, actually; the age groups would match up.

Nowadays its crossover battles.Shounen has kinda dropped their general power levels,so they aim at comics or light novels to fight with.

Apparently some new episode summaries came out.

Nothing too surprising until episode 22:

According to this, Tagoma doesn't die in Super, he helps train Frieza, he's the one who knocks out the Z-Fighters and... the Frog switches bodies with him.

Guess who's coming back...

This is the most exciting thing that Super has done so far.

I mean, Frog!Ginyu being still alive on Earth wasn't exactly canon, but it made 100% sense. Like...geez. This is crazy.

Also, it seems like Tagoma is training, too. If he's taking Shisami's place, that would explain why he could be a challenge to Piccolo.

Frog Ginyu being alive on Earth is anime-exclusive and never even suggested in the manga.

The Dragon Ball Super anime is the only version of the story to feature this plot point, while the manga isn't even doing Resurrection of F at all.

This makes perfect sense. As has been previously noted, the manga seems to be canon to the manga while the anime is canon to the anime - filler and all.

To answer the mage of fire's question:

Yes, Shiki can, in fact, kill a Saiyan. Tsukihime Shiki can kill anything that can die. Kara no Kyoukai Shiki can kill absolutely anything, even if it can't die. She can kill stuff that doesn't even exist.

However, under Deathbattle rules, they'd both be insta-dead well before they could actually hit their Death Points or cut along their Death Lines.

And... Saitama's whole schtick is that he's the One Punch Man. His entry in the bestiary just reads "You Lose".

Anyway, the crossover battle raging fanboys can get both very, very irritating and very, very hilarious.

Yeah. OP Man's whole thing is that he's OP Man. He can beat it with one punch.

Like how Superman's thing is that he has no limits, OP Man's thing is he can beat anyone with one punch. He doesn't work as a character if you ignore the one punch thing, because he is by definition a gag character. Trying to seriously put him in Vs. Battles is silly, because the nature of the character is that he wins everything with one punch.

Saitama needs an opponent like Chuck Norris or Segata Sanshiro to for Death Battle.

If people are legitimately trying to calculate Saitama's strength, they're missing the entire point of One-Punch Man. Saitama's power doesn't even make sense in-universe. How is it supposed to make sense anywhere else?

It's like when people try to calculate Arale's power, even though that fully runs on Gag Logic.

Calculating strength in fiction can be rather silly in general.

Saitama vs. Arale is exactly what I was suggesting actually.

Saitama knocks her out in one punch but she spasms as she falls and accidentally breaks the universe.

And then that frees Chuck Norris and Segata Sanshiro and they team up to fight Saitama?

So...what I'm getting out of the above news is: WE DO GET TO SEE FREEZA'S TRAINING! HALLELUJAH! Oh also something about Ginyu.

Actually, Saitama vs Arale would work, because they both run on gag logic.

One of the ideas I liked about Dragonball Multiverse was that Arale, in a realistic universe, was a flat-out Reality Warper, and can probably be stronger than everyone if she feels like it.
