Wow, Goten VS Trunks is a really cool fight.
The look on Videl's face as she realizes she's vastly outmatched by mere children is great.
Also, Christopher Sabat is so much better at doing Vegeta now that it's crazy. They almost sound completely different.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I feel like Chi-Chi was written as a Hate Sink.
Do any of you think that's accurate?
Yeah, that was a good one.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseSuper Saiyan 3 being flawed doesn't really matter much in the video games.
And while it's a flawed transformation, it's still useful (It's the only way Gotenks stood a chance against Super Buu, and Goku probably could have killed Fat Buu if he didn't play around) and at the very least is symbolic of achieving a high internal power level. Goku may be better off in Super Saiyan 1, but the fact that he achieved 3 at all while Vegeta was stuck at 2 is a testament to the former's superior strength and better training.
But it is ugly as hell, yeah. Goku the Barbarian.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
I like the design of SS 3. Missing eyebrows and giant anime hair taken to it's Logical Extreme makes it stand out, unlike SS 2 where, with the exception of Kid Gohan, looks almost exactly the same as SS 1 on everyone, especially Vegeta who, aside from lightning in the aura, looks exactly the same.
Although those characters look, like, 12. I wonder what it'd be like on an adult. Not that we'd ever see it.
I don't know whether Chi-Chi was supposed to be sympathetic or not. I think she was just a joke. Her character was just a joke about how Gohan's studies were more important than the fate of the world.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!Chi Chi doesn't care about Goku getting hurt because for him, it's nothing new. Goku has gotten the shit kicked out of him a number of times, he's fine, he can take it. What she doesn't know is that Gohan is just as hardy, both mentally and physically, as his father is.
Also, the female SSJ 3 have huuuuuuge foreheads. I like it, though I do wonder how the hell they managed to find something to tie their hair that wasn't disintegrated by the transformation, considering Trunks' hair tie was destroyed by him going Ultra Super Saiyan.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariThe thing about Pan becoming a Super Saiyan is that, ultimately, this is right:
It's a bargain sale on Super Saiyans at this point. It would mean less for Pan to become a Super Saiyan than it meant for Goten and Trunks to do it, and wouldn't change any of her scenes.
But that's the problem. It means so much that she didn't become a Super Saiyan because it would mean so little for her to do so. The omission is what's meaningful because there is literally no reason for her not to be one. She was needlessly snubbed.
Krillin even calls her out on this, just in case the audience somehow missed the fact that Chi-Chi is being an uberbitch for no good reason and deserves massive scorn.
It's, in my opinion, the second-worst depiction of Chi-Chi in the entire series. The worst being in the Buu Saga, when not only is she Fridged to give Goten some added motivation, she politely opens the refrigerator door and climbs inside for her murderer.
She storms off to throw a fit at Majin Buu and then he kills her because of course he f*cking does, just in time for Goten to witness it and suddenly have feelings to feel. Not only did Chi-Chi get killed off for Goten's dramatic benefit, but they made it her fault for being Bitchy Before Reason.
That Word of God was talking about the end of the Buu arc prior to Battle of Gods, Revival of F, and Dragon Ball Super. When Battle of Gods came out, it became outright canonized with Beerus remarking in his first meeting on Kaio-sama's world that Goku could never have defeated Frieza as he is now and thus must have some method of increasing his power. Goku confirms and transforms.
He's become stronger in the time between Battle of Gods and Revival of F.

By the time he fought Buu, he was still weaker, but not necessarily a lot weaker. Personally, I like Saiga's estimate of 80 million as his Base BP. Weak enough to lose, but even just the standard Kaioken would put him above Frieza.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Yeah, there's really no way to justify Super Saiyan Goku having any trouble at all with Frieza in the Frieza arc, let alone by the time Buu comes along.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Huh. Now that I've seen Female Super Saiyan three......
Hmmmmm......
It's like I said: They'll give multiple Super Saiyan forms to everyone and their mom DAD, including a pair of OCs, but they flat out refuse to do it for a character who actually exists.
I think I remember hearing Toriyama say something about female super saiyans not happening because women deal with anger better or something (which might have come before the whole hurr! I can't draw a girl super saiyan cause I don't know what one would look like!), but I doubt that was ever the case now.
It's clear someone somewhere (or a lot of someones) just have a ridiculously huge hang up over it.
One Strip! One Strip!Thanks for the reminder man! I can't believe I forgot that stuff.
Now, I hate that Gohan got snubbed and the humans aren't strong.....

One Strip! One Strip!Seriously, it sucks that Chi-Chi never became a Super Saiyan, Pan was needlessly demonized, the humans got snubbed despite being the strongest warriors in the universe, and Gohan wasn't strong enough. These are all important points!

Dude I agree with you about it not mattering how the form looks on women, though the thing about Toriyama being forgetful has been thrown into doubt.
I maintain that Super Saiyan 3 is ugly on everyone, regardless of gender. I'm 90% sure that's equality.
Plus, it's seriously flawed anyway, so why bother?
I do like your theory, except that Super may not even go past the Buu arc, and into the era that the final Arc of DBZ took place in, so there really is no reason to hold back on SSJ Pan, unless they plan to tackle the series after the official end, and fully retcon GT (which they could, since the existence of the God forms already brings it into question).
