Eh, Toriyama's signature Writing By The Seat Of His Pants may pull l some kind of accidental Chekovs Gun out of it later again like he kept doing all series, so I'm holding my breath.

First look at Enhanced Super Saiyan 4 Broly.

Notice how much bigger ESSJ4 muscles are compared to LSSJ4, so much so his skin is literally ripping.

Broly, I think it's time we sat down and talked about your steroid addiction.

Well, the only important so far we have for the Resurrection F arc is the fact that Frieza didn't blow Tagoma to smithereens. And yeah, 18 stays behind again. Drat. :(

Does Dragon Ball's violence really stand out that much? I've been told Bleach is pretty violent.

Yet, anyway. I get the feeling that in the next episode, Tagoma is going to end up back talking Freeza and get made an example of.

Fist Of The North Star isn't meant to be a series aimed at all ages.

I've actually gone through three volumes of Fist Of The North Star recently. It's pretty crazy.

Zelenal: How insensitive. You know as well as I do that Broly can't bend at the waist anymore thanks to those muscles.

@PMC: It was in the same magazine as Dragon Ball, aimed at the same demographic at the time.

The only reason it seems that it is not aimed for children now is because the series is aimed at the adults that grew up with it in the eighties.

So Super Saiyan 4 Broly wasn't enough, they had to give him an even stronger variant on top of that?

Jesus.

Well, there is the thing about Ginyu and Tagoma and that's...a deviation.

But I think it says a lot that the Super manga literally skipped out RF and we didn't miss much. (I know they did a manga for it beforehand, but that didn't cover the entire movie)

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

Boo Saga Goku is so sassy. After Elder Kaioushin tells them that Gotenks and Super Boo are fighting in the Dimension of Time and that Piccolo let him in, Goku says this to East Kaioushin:

Goku: "...Wow... You can tell all that? He powered Gohan up, too... That's what a Lord of Lords should be like!"

Kaioushin: "Hmph... Excuse me... Next time I won't bother..."

I love the Boo Saga so much. I can't believe I had forgot most of it.

Let's be perfectly honest here, Gohan is lucky that he even has eyes.

Ligers and Tigons are prone to birth defects and shit. Cancer.

Not a pretty picture.
