I don't care how cool this was visually, the writing for this moment was just fucking abysmal. [tdown]

[up] Agreed. [tup]

At least it had Vegito, which is why that's still my favorite episode of Super.

Which is easy when I have a generally low to middling opinion of Super in the first place.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Okay, the Spirit Sword was actually fucking awesome. Sure it came out of nowhere, but it was really fucking cool, and that's all that matters in DB.

With god energy and spirit energy and Ki being all over the place and blending in weird ways, I'm completely done with trying to track what power levels are what anymore.

So, sword is cool. That's about it.

I have a message from another time...

[up][up][up][up] Why do people shit on the Bayformers despite having great effects?

That's why.

Fuck it wasn't that cool anyway. Too much cheesy JRPG cringe shit.

The Spirit Sword is cool. Y'all are just salty. You should be saving your salt for what happens in the next episode...

Difference is the Bayformers look like shit, while giant energy swords are objectively cool no matter what.tongue

And honestly? I don't exactly watch Dragon Ball for the tightly crafted plots and writing anyway.

[up]Agreed

In a series where Piccolo fusing with a random shmuck makes him stronger than Frieza's second form, the Spirit Sword is not a big deal at all.

Optimus Prime had an energy sword there.

So your reasoning is invalid. tongue

The problem with the Spirt Sword is that it was cringe JRPG shit.

Dragon Ball is manly for that wimpy shit. [awesome]

[up][up][up] But you said the Bayformers look like shit so which is it? tongue

Oh hi Great Sayaman![lol]

@Spirit sword talk: My last bit about the sword. It was dope as fuck but being a stickler for continuity can really take the fun out of it. Really, I should just say "power levels are bullshit!" and just enjoy the awesome action scenes.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

The sword was stupid but it's okay to like stupid things. Something being stupid and it being awesome (I didn't think it was awesome, but whatever) aren't mutually exclusive.

Does that solve everything?

Fuck, this arc has no sense of power curves.

This entire show has no sense of power curves.

Anyway, you guys can feel free to lambast this all you want, but I'm with Rynnec on this one.

Was it an Ass Pull? Sure.

But given everything else that happened up to this point (including a Retcon of how the Potara earrings work just to ensure an Only the Author Can Save Them Now-level Diabolus ex Machina where Vegito Blue was concerned), I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

If you're trying to make sense of Super by this point, you're going to have a bad time.

And with that said, I can't wait to see how you all react to what comes next. [lol]

@ slim: You see, there's this little thing we call opinions...

@slim: Eh, I'd say it was cringe in the Super Robot and classic JRPG way, which are so ridiculous and Hot-Blooded it stops being cringe.

Chi-Chi looks like a whole new person in that outfit and hairstyle. Not bad.
