I wanna know if she has infinite energy generators.

Though Buu has redonkulous stamina anyway, so she might not need them.

But yeah, more confirmation of her type of android (beyond better Cell) would be nice.

For some reason when I saw mention of 21 the first thing to come into my mind was Super 17.

[up] Glad I'm not the only one.

Put me in for wanting to see 21 show up in the series proper.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

Well it was kinda Super 17 but in the opposite direction...

They said if she was popular she'd make it into the series.

How she's been faring in Japan and all that?

In a hypothetical singing/dancing Dragon Ball party game that uses Real Life popular songs, which characters would be most appropriate as singing/dancing representatives for which songs?

I would imagine that the love songs, depending on tone, would go to Goku/Chichi, Gohan/Videl, Krillin/18, and Bulma/Vegeta as duets.

If this hypothetical game came into existence, then there's only one song Vegeta can sing:

If he tries to sing anything else, he should be immediately disqualified. So says Rob.

...Additionally, Roshi gets rap because of this:

Some movie info, from a new scan:

"2 important Points in this Scan(Saikyo Jump)

1. As This Enemy is Clearly the Strongest; Those who believe that Goku will win may lose confidence. (Right Side : Written in Blue) 

2. Destruction Power more than the God of Destruction!? (Written Besides Broly Base Form : Left Side)"

[lol] who the hell has confidence in Goku winning at this point?

who the hell has confidence in Goku winning at this point?

As of now, me.

Why?

Because if there's any time for Toriyama to invert subverting our expectations, it's now, in the moment where he lampshades that Goku hasn't really actually saved the day in quite a while, and not nearly as often as he did pre-Raditz.

Now that we all expect Goku to fail and something else to let them pull off the win, he'll manage to flat out beat Broly in a brutal fight.

...either that, or I'm full of it.

Bulma still has faith in him.

He's the only guy in the world she truly wholy trusts.

People said that about RF and the TOP.

In both cases, he does win in the end but in a way that stays true to him losing at the climactic moment.

Its funny as hell that Goku has such a reputation for being someone who "always wins" when the amount of times he has one by himself can be counted on one hand.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

Its a stereotype what can I say.

Its like the Batman is stronger than Superman myth that was generated solely from that one highly conditional fight in an Elseworld story written in the 80's from a crazy-ass writer.

The same can be said some other protagonists like Yami Yugi, Yami Yugi does have a good win/loss record but he isn't invincible and has lost several times. Even if those losses were legitmate losses, he still lost to some individuals.

[up][up]

That's some interesting philosophy...

...if you ignore that Goku doesn't fight for his friends at all. Sure, when things are at their worst, he comes to bail them out, but it's always an extra helping on the yeah! great fight! table.

That makes a lot of sense. Roshi made a big deal out of how Goku wouldn't be standing here if not for his friends. Goku and Jiren both stood for good and their ideals. Jiren is a hero for justice who trusts no-one and believes only in himself. Goku doesn't see himself as any kind of hero, but he freely helps people who need it and trusts his friends, valuing how they helped and trained him through his life.

Goku vs Jiren was very much an ideological conflict about the nature of strength, and Goku winning prompted a change of heart from Jiren.

[up][up][up] No way. Yami's track record is insane, in canon he only loses three times - the final duel with Yugi, and then twice due to his opponents being cheap/cheating. And in both of those situations it was made clear that he would have otherwise won.

[up] You maybe right, Yami is a good player who is mroe or less invincible or at least really good at games. It seems like no player in the anime/manga could beat him legitmately.

Here's an idea: everyone thinks Fused Zamasu is subject to the Potara time limit, except he's not, like in the manga. That was a good way of giving the heroes a potential way to win just by outlasting Zamasu, but the reason for Fused Zamasu staying together was kind of nonsense. Instead of Fused Zamasu staying together because their souls bound together, Goku Black knew about the Potara limitation and planned ahead for it. Future Zamasu had already graduated to being a fully-fledged Kaioshin by his time.

I find it slightly ridiculous that the Potara have been retconned to only be permanent with Supreme Kai. Like, not just Kais, supreme Kais.

Like some little promotion suddenly causes these magic artifacts to affect you in a completely different way.

You are not alone.
