So are we just not going to talk about the latest episode where it was confirmed that Base Goku and Vegeta > SS3 Gotenks?

And? They were in Mystic Gohan's ballpark. Mystic Gohan isn't very impressive anymore so neither are they. Without some new ability or transformation, they won't be relevant to the fights anymore.

I really appreciate the attack fodder, though. Sherbet will love using Miracle Kick like a maniac in Xenoverse 2.

Just saying that this totally deconfirms Saiga's theory that Goku and Vegeta reverted to Buu Saga levels post Resurrection 'F', while simultaneously providing evidence for my own stance on how powerful they are, as I've elaborated on in the past.

It was an opinion some of us shared about Goku and Vegeta. There was a bit of a debate on how powerful their base forms were during the beginning of the U7 Tournament.

Umm...

Isn't it possible that when he says he absorbed all of Vegeta's power, he means all of it?

So any power he'd get from any of the Super Saiyan forms (normal, 2, 3) and the God forms as well?

He just looks like Base Vegeta, but has all the power Vegeta has in any form at his disposal, hence the stomping of SSJ 3 Gotenks...

Who really should have used a Super Kamikaze Ghost Attack by the way.

I was thinking that Base Goku and Vegeta were around Ultimate Gohan level, with Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Blue both being a 50x multiplier, while Saiga thought that Goku and Vegeta reverted to Buu Saga levels after Freeza's return, to explain Piccolo being in-between base and Super Saiyan Goku.

[up]Base Goku being even with Copy Vegeta would contradict that.

Copy Goku would be the purple goo with Goku's power. Black Goku is the rumored antagonist of the upcoming Future Trunks storyline.

Seriously, why do we call him "Black Goku"?

Every time I hear that it's a little bit funny, and then I go right back to, "Why Japan, why? We buy your stuff (most of the time), we spread your stuff, we make crappy dubs of your stuff, we hock your stuff on ebay, we buy your stuff and then mail it to Jessica Nigri, and sometimes, sometimes, we even crowdfund your stuff. Why do you continue to mock us?"

The only suitable answer I've come up with is 'payback for Dragonball Evolution', but that was, what, 2009?

Gokus in Japan are typically black.

But for seriously, what's the mockery?

... You really don't know why Japan would hate the USA and by proxy the west in general, do you?

Hint: It involves a fat man and a little boy.

Also the USA as a country has a habit of pissing off everyone. I blame it on the fact that you have a ton of people with enough money to go be tourists elsewhere. As we all know, dumb tourists are one of the most annoying things that can happen to you.

[up] (3) Constant, terrible caricatures of black people/Americans in general in anime (the baseball episode of Samurai Champloo). You've seen a few by now. Its not just anime, its games too - Sazh Kitzroy from Final Fantasy XIII.

[up] (2) And yes, that's a reason, but I was being a little facetious.

As it is with every time the 'Black' or 'Dark' descriptor is used.

Mostly because to the Japanese the implication of racism doesn't even occur. Not because they're so super progressive or super retrograde, but IIRC, it's because there are very, VERY few black people in Japan.

[up]To be fair to you bringing up Final Fantasy XIII... it was a terrible game in general.

[up]

That thing about a lack of Black people making it not too much of an issue may be true, but I'd think by now they'd have caught on to how others outside the country feel about it.

Then again, that's not really their first concern when they make these shows either.
