Are we seriously going to argue the result of Buu vs. Kirby?...again...for the same reasons that everybody else has?

God, this is the only negative part about Death Battle for me, because both sides take a loss as some personal slight against them and get all defensive about "X WOULD NEVER LOSE TO Y, FUCK YOU DEATH BATTLE". I guess its inevitable because internet and nerds seem to have a thing about arguing things to come off as right, but its so goddamn annoying to see. Literally every Death Battle is like this.

EDIT: OH...page topper....uh...talking about nerds and irrelevant internet fights.

If Goku fought Goku, would Goku win or would Goku?

No, no, the most important question is, could Broly beat up Superman?

Sun Wukong's pretty broken.I think he could take Goku on.

[up]x4: I think I'm one of the few who likes Kirby vs Buu despite disagreeing with the result. I just like both characters, and am glad they actually gave Kirby the time of day, instead of writing him off as a harmless pink ball.

[up]I like this idea. Maybe one of the universes in Super would be Journey to the West, and Son Goku would finally face Sun Wukong? tongue

Oh, I like the Kirby Buu fight. I just think the ending blow is a bit of a contrivance.

I was okay with that fight. Then again, I wasn't analyzing it.

If Goku fought Goku, would Goku win or would Goku?

Or Goku from GT vs Goku from Revenge of F.

Inconsistent or not, GT Goku did some crazy stuff like backhand an energy blast from Gohan while in base form, and GT is more or less its own wacky, alternate reality at this point.

I'm curious why Death Battle decided on a rematch (fanservice aside). Battle of Gods didn't have Goku do anything particularly out of the ordinary, ignoring the narrative and Beerus. All I saw was Goku punch through King Kai's planet, get smashed through mountains and trees, and tearing through the Earth's crust.

That's not much of an improvement from what we already knew he could do is it? So did he do something special in Revenge of F?

Why are you calling it Revenge of F? Revenge isn't anywhere in the title's possibilities.

I mean, I think their arguments for why Kirby could beat Buu were pretty well laid out.

Not sure why there's a big controversy about it.

...Sun Wukong vs Son Goku would be pretty great.

I mean, Arale-chan operates by the same rules when she's crossed over with Dragon Ball.

You can't beat cartoon physics. Their magic is too strong. Reality warping too much.

Dragon Ball started to take itself seriously, and so everything got infinitely weaker.

The main reason Goku will never beat Superman is that he forgot how to breath in space.

What they don't know is that for Vegeta, 'Amusement Park' means taking his son out on a planet purging expedition.

I can just imagine him and Trunks being halfway off planet and him going "Oh, wait, if I destroy another civilization, there'll be no sex for... like a week or something. Change of plans! We're going to an actual park!"

Personally, I think Vegeta can probably go without sex with Bulma longer than Bulma can go without sex with Vegeta.

I mean, Vegeta's character arc in the Buu Saga, the reason he turned to Babadi was specifically because he wasn't that kind of person anymore.

Vegeta's character development was also his motivation.

Not dissimilar from Piccolo, in all honesty.

Vegeta specifically hated how nice and peaceful he'd become.

He rants and yells about how he's the sort of dad who takes his son to the park. Who has only hit his kid once by accident.

He turns to Babidi specifically to correct how weak he sees himself as having become.

I think that's legitimately good writing, personally. And it's a fascinating thing with Vegeta's character.

It's so rare for character development to be treated as a motivation. It's a sorta meta storytelling that I love to see.

The facepalm is because it's a joke you seemed to take seriously.

On a more serious note, Vegeta has no problem killing and even makes sport of doing it to poor Pui Pui. I can see him still wiping out entire civilizations, but I don't see him going out of his way to do so.

There's a civilization that pisses him off? Yeah, he'll blow them away and make jokes while doing it. Would he go to a random populated planet and start killing people? Probably not.

Pui Pui seemed like the first time he's done it in a while.

And it was a very important day for Vegeta, and it was being interrupted, and he was getting impatient.
