He said the theory falls apart for that reason, what's the problem?

And if you're looking for "good" Dragon Ball AF I think you could be missing the point. There are some admittedly good fan works that take ideas from AF but the AF "family" was created to capitalize on interest drummed up by fan art, is loosely based on a novel called Xiyoubu and is called "AF" for a very good reason.

Fanmade stuff that somehow people thought was an actual continuation of the series. Fanfiction as a concept wasn't that well known then.

Edit: never mind, sorry.

I'm not sure how good Dragon Ball Z 2 from the old "My Favorite Games" forum would look to me today, how much my tastes have changed since then, how much of it being "good" was due to GT being fresh in my mind, but I do remember liking it. But I also recognized AF for what it was pretty early on.

Incidentally, while reaching for that piece of evidence way up there, I recalled something and checked it and it's also true.

In that same fight, Cell actually felt a hit from a very weakened base Vegeta while he was at full power. The difference between Super Perfect Cell at full power and Vegeta, at that point, is significantly bigger than the difference between Super Perfect Cell and SSJ 2 Gohan.

Well besides the thing about Freeza almost coming true, one AF story dealt with the "The Guardian"(aka the English term for god) of space and time defeating all of "Earth's Special Forces" only for Goten(who for some reason was a little kid again) to save the day at the last minute, by himself somehow, after flying out the window while Chichi thought he was studying and defeat the Guardian/God with a Kamehameha after turning super saiyan for the first time.

While that hasn't happened, Dragon Ball Online actually did have a "World King Of Time" who accused future Trunks of committing a sin against him(who is apparently a her according to Xenpverse), which I thought was ironic and hilarious.

Oh yes, super saiyan five-super saiyain god super saiyan. There's probably more AF stuff that's sort of come true that I simply can't think of right now.

One common thread was Goten and Trunks wishing for immortality. There was a fic on the old gametalk.com about Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr from GT being attacked by a new saiyan out of nowhere who was too strong for them, so they had to fuse to become Gogeta Jr, who was winning until the new saiyan discovered Super Saiyan 4 and was about to kill them only to be blocked by Trunks in base, who according to his scouter had a power level of 130 billion or so, and thus he stopped fighting, admitting he was now "out of his league."

I'm not sure I want that one to happen but I am totally pulling for Universe 6 saiyan to be Goku's illegitimate son who is half god and was born a super saiyan god super saiyan.

There was also a thing in the story with Xicor about how they needed seven Super Saiyans to put their Super Saiyan energy into the Dragon Balls to bring Goku back from the realm of the Dragons to fight Xicor, which was basically like the Super Saiyan God ritual.

Except they were one Saiyan short so they wished back Broly.

I've started to realise if Resurrection 'F' is anything, it's an arc that's trying to highlight just how much Goku and Vegeta suck at this 'defending the Earth' business.

Freeza's back? And resurrected? And is even stronger? Well, let's not take this seriously. What's really important is we get our turns!

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

It's because they have no interest in defending the earth. They are not heroes, they are Kung Fu Hobos.

Though both have homes so neither is a hobo. Vegeta's wife is also super rich. And if Goku's wife wasn't so terrible with money, they'd probably be rich too.

He did have a castle full of stuff, didn't he? It was all just burnt up in that fire or blown up by Roshi putting the fire out.

Wasn't there a village around his castle, too? Presumably he rules over those guys. Or ruled. Before he killed them all 'cause he thought they were trying to steal his stuff.

Half-power SS2 Gohan beat Super Perfect Cell with the latter distracted and possible supernatural aid from his dead daddy.

That doesn't change the fact that he beat Super Perfect Cell at full power while he himself was at only half power. And he still had to overpower Cell's Kamehameha to do it.

And the endless debate of "The Great Kamehameha Duel" continued and raged on.
