Like I said, Frieza probably wasn't the actual strongest being, just the most notable one. Buu wasn't around to blow up planets, something Frieza probably did every Tuesday.

Well, yeah, Frieza wasn't. Buu was much stronger but sealed away, and Dabura is stronger but has no real excuse for not being known as strongest in the universe.

And of course King Cold's power is vague in regard to Frieza's.

Other than that, though, everyone stronger than Frieza was either created after his death (The androids, Cell), a god (the Supreme Kais), or trained to become that strong (our heroes). Or a movie villain and thus non-canon anyway.

Cooler and Bojack are justified, since the latter was sealed away and the former never showed anyone his true power, so most would think Frieza was the strongest. At least, I think Cooler said that no one had ever seen his final form.

Dabura was in the Demon Realm or something, right? He's stronger than Frieza, yeah, but he wasn't actively attacking anything, so nobody really bothered to count him.

...So, what exactly does Dabura do that makes him evil? He gets mind controlled by Babidi, and does stuff under his orders, but that's about it...

The reason everyone knew Freeza was because he named all the planets he conquered Freeza-[Insert Number].

I wonder what happened to any minions who had the sass to say that's a boring naming scheme?

So yeah, I'm gonna start Kai later today. I feel it's only fair to see the whole thing before I weigh in on Z vs. Kai ya know?

So I was just browsing ebay for any interesting DB merchandise and I found this.

I'd buy that.

...once I have my own place.

Actually, Dabra was given a very explicit reason for not being known about as being stronger than Freeza - he comes from Demon Realm, which is sort of a mirror Universe to the Dragon Ball universe. Kaioshin outright says "You may be the strongest in this Universe, but Dabra is the strongest in the Demon Realm". So yeah.

Freeza being the strongest in the Universe at that time is true for the manga.

@Nik Well, they also let you play as 17 vs 17.tongue So they're not bothered by stuff like that.

That's not how time travel works in this series. If Bardock went into the past and became a Super Saiyan, he'd be the LSS of that timeline, not the main one.

Doesn't matter anyway since Episode of Bardock is horeshit meant to cash in on Dragonball even more.

Ms. Mc Coy even gave 18 a perfectly creepy sexy theme song.

[up][up]The result of ImmaVegeta finding posable models of DBZ characters to use in Gmod.

I like how Goku communicates using his hair, and how Vegeta wants to be a Namekian... so he fuses with Piccolo.

As far as i can tell it is. I've heard some good impesonators before but the 'director" yelling at Vegeta sounds exactly like him.

So I'm making my way through Kai and it's made me curiousa bout something.

What is the infamous music debate about DBZ vs. Kai? I think DBZ was originally scored by a guy named Yamamoto maybe? The Kai guy was fired or something?

I recall people on Kanzenshuu asking about Kai DV Ds with one soundtrack or the other...

I have no idea which score I'm listening to. There's very little music except at very dramatic moments. I recognize a lot of teh tracks from Dragonball Abridged though.

The two major composers are Yamamoto (who got fired for plagiarizing) and Kikuchi. I don't know much more than that.
