What makes Bojack like King Piccolo is that he is a demon that just shows up and sends his minions after the participants in the last world's martial arts tournament so they will not get in the way of his takeover. The only meaningful differences between them come from their back stories, and Bojack's Icantbelieveitsnot Super Saiyan form, neither of which was really explained or explored enough to be of any merit.

How do you waste a plot involving a demon space pirate? On the other hand, Bojack unbound at least got SS 2 right, unlike the show's rendition of the cell fight.

What was wrong with Super Saiyan 2 against Cell?

Technically, Bojack wasn't a demon, he was a space pirate; whereas King Piccolo wasn't a demon nor a Namekian, he was the manifestation of all the evil that had built up in the Nameless Namek.

Which makes him a demon, and also a Namekian. Our Demons Are Different.

So he's a Demon Namekian?

Hmm, that's actually accurate. I mean, it's obvious, but I always just saw him as a Namekian who thought he was a demon.

I never considered that technically, he kinda is a demon as well.

…. You know, I kinda like Bojangles Bojack. I wonder what things would have been like if he'd been a filler villain instead of a Movie villain?

The show gave it a muscle growing scene even though the complete lack of it was a plot point in the comic. Also, since the show gave electricity to practically everyone post Freeza, the sparks of power flying from it and Super Cell did not carry the same relevance.

Wait. I thought the sparks didn't become a thing until Post Cell series?

And even though, I only recall see it on Super Saiyans 2-3, and Full powered Dabura.

I never thought of it that way, but you guys are right. Demon King Piccolo is, in fact, a demon. For some reason, finding out he was an alien always just sort of invalidated the "demon" part, but there is absolutely no reason for it to do so. He's still a demon, he's just an alien demon.

Not super Cell, Vegeta and Trunks had sparks in the show too, to be fair to TOEI they did not animate it the exact same way when it came to SS 2 and Super Cell but they still lose points for having a zoom in of Gohan growing in bulk.

I suppose we can blame Toriyama, maybe if he had been watching the show he would have seen they had been using sparks already and came up with something else but then again I can't blame him for not watching it either. TOEI's extra effects were just to drag out scenes anyway, rather than anything of much meaning.

For nostalgia.

I like both. Some of the VHS releases used Cha-La, and Toonami had Rock the Dragon. There's one that was used for the Broly and Cooler films I haven't found yet.

Anybody else laugh at the irony behind Super Saiyan God?

The war-mongering race of space pirates can achieve a divine level of power by combining six, good-hearted members of their race that will only last for maybe five minutes.

That's because the original draft of the script was about how Saiyans were naturally pure hearted and Beers made them evil with his powers.

I don't know, Rock the Dragon is awesome for how cheesy it is, but Head-cha-la starts off every episode of TFS...

I like Dragon Soul from DBZ Kai, too. I think it's funny that when the song says, "We will fight for love and glory, we will live to tell the story," we see Tien elbow a Saibaman in the face, and it's like, "Uh, hate to be a downer, but Tien's only gonna live for like another ten minutes. I dunno, maybe he can tell the story to all the dudes waiting in line for heaven or something."

Apparently Kid Goku, Kid Krillin, Young Yamcha, Master Roshi, Pilaf Robot, Ninja Murasaki, General Blue, Pirate Robot, Kid Pan, Big Gete Robot, GT Gotenks and Liu Xing Long/Oceanus Shenron have been confirmed for the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game.

Any thoughts?

Big Gete Robots are Meta-Cooler's mooks, right? Neato.

GT Gotenks should be interesting to see.

And Oceanus Shenron is pretty cool.

[up][up] This is the first game to have characters like most of the movie mooks, GT Goten, GT Satan, Hell Fighter 17, Paragus, Kid Vegeta, Young Nappa (the one with hair) and many others as playable, including what-if forms like Baby Janemba and Super 17 Cell Absorbed. It's a surprising roster I'll tell ya. tongue

I still find it odd how Future Gohan has SSJ 3.

What will make it or break it is if they can get the original voice actors back, or if they can reuse old voice clips.

But I don't care about Heroes. Battle of Z is where it's at.

I didn't really like "Dragon Soul" at first, but I've heard it a bunch of times. It's catchy.

Battle of Z looks pretty bad, the only good features are team battles and the colour editor. And team battle being a good feature is debatable when you're locked into 4 vs 4 without any other options.

Poor roster choices, no in-game transformation, 1 combo, 1 special and 1 ultimate per character, awkward graphics, weird control layout... yeah, I'm hoping this is going to be like Tenkaichi 1 and we'll see a sequel that shows a surprising improvement.

Or they'll make a Raging Blast 3 or Tenkaichi 4. tongue

What is this Color Editor though?
