Pure Boo was only brought down by a group effort because Vegeta insisted on it. Once Earth was brought back and everyone was revived, Gotenks or Gohan could have easily curbed stomped Boo with no effort.

So? It doesn't change that the fact that teamwork happens in Dragon Ball, including the freaking final battle of the manga.

Ginyu is technically an example but also not really. Multiple people were only needed because of the Body Change, not because of Ginyu's raw power. It's also worth noting that Vegeta did most of the work in that fight after Ginyu and Goku switched bodies.

Ginyu's power is still his power. Also, again, it doesn't matter why it happens, but that it happened.

While Vegeta is an example, the others were only able to contribute after Vegeta had lost a majority of his ki fighting Goku and, even then, most of the work was done by Goku.

...So? I am not even seeing your point here.

Your claim was that cooperation is "never how Dragon Ball has ever worked" which is just blatantly untrue. It have been part of the series ever since Yamcha helped Goku to defeat the Bunny gang in the first arc. Sure, most of the time it ends up being a one on one, with minimal teamwork, but that doesn't mean team work never happens or ever stopped happening.

Were you even talking about how Super related to DBZA? Didn't seem like that to me. Just felt like a normal DBZ conversation.

Normal Dragon Ball conversation happens every time here. Its rather pointless to get huffy whenever it does at this point.

Especially since there's been nothing related to the Abridged series to talk about for a few months now.

So if it doesn't actually have anything to do with Abridged why can't you use the actual normal Dragonball thread? I mean, didn't you justify that Super discussion is okay here because it was related to Abridged somehow?

They've technically done Super abridged, so it is related.

And because there's no rule saying that people are only allowed to talk about the subject of the topic title. Maybe people don't want to use the general Dragon Ball thread? There's no actual guidelines on what is or isn't allowed to be talked about in relation to the topic unless it's completely off topic.

So it feels weird to call people out for talking about Dragon Ball....in a thread related to a product about Dragon Ball.

Why do you think the Naruto community thread exists? Or the SMT thread was split off from the Persona thread? Because you're supposed to stay on topic. And the topic is DBZA, not Super. Go ahead and talk about Super Abridged if you want to.

I mean, if that's how feel, fine. But it's not really like you can stop people from talking about Super. It's currently airing and it's main subject of the community soooo....people are gonna talk about it.

Bojack, which likely won't be done until the Cell saga is finished for the sake continuity.

If they aren't doing the Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans OVA, it'll bee Bojack.

I agree that there is little sense in discussing Super here until it pertains to the Abridged series.

That being said, strictly policing off-topicness and getting huffy at the mere mention of Super is unnecessary.

Bojack is the next MOVIE, but they've said they're doing a new special before Episode 60 so that will almost certainly be Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans since that fits chronologically between Broly and Cell.

I'm not going to call the mods about it, but I feel like I shouldn't have to in the first place. I simply asked for an off topic discussion to be moved to the proper thread.

Whatever. Either you'll move (or have moved, didn't check the other thread) or you won't.

DBZA takes after and references the entire Dragon Ball franchise from Dragon Ball to Super. They've ha d Jones and references in episodes to events that aren't part of Z proper.

Super will always be a valid discussion point because TFS aren't making Abridged in a perfect vacuum, we know they watch Super as well.

This isn't a SMT and Persona type situation, since those are two different franchise that don't cross over with each other. It would be more apt to compare it to someone complaining about people discussing Persona 5 in the general Persona thread.

On the topic of the next special, it'll probably be plan to eradicate the Sayians. They've mentioned the special a few times and it doesn't have as many problems with continuity as the remaining movies.

The remaining movies require Gohan to have SSJ 2 and Goku to be dead, so post-episode 60.

If they get done. Which I hope eventually to be the case.

I don't really have a problem talking about general Dragon Ball here, but if someone does we should probably drop it because this isn't the general Dragon Ball thread.

Going "TFS watch Super too" doesn't automatically make super relevant to the thread.

Masako talks about Super in his vlogs so it's related in that sense.

They've already confirmed Super is canon to DBZA by having Beerus name dropped, at some point I expect a Super Sayian God Super Sayian joke.

Broly: Second Coming takes place in the lead-up to the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, which is part of the Buu arc. So it's not happening unless they abridge the Buu arc, which is currently not on the plate.

I think it's possible to be a little too strict about staying "on topic".

Like, conversations are fluid, man. Sometimes you need an example to demonstrate what you're talking about, or a thing happens that's like another thing.
