[up][up] Except for that time she showed up in the manga and beat up General Blue.

EDIT: Meh.

The blast itself is more circular.

It's a circular blast fired from a triangular hand position that leaves square holes. That's why it's forbidden.

[up] As I said, Dragon Ball Arale =/= Dr. Slump Arale.

Forbidden because it makes no geometric sense?

[up][up] No she isn't. There is no reason for you to say that.

Exactly. That's how Tenshinhan used it to keep Cell at bay - Cell is a product of SCIENCE and could not comprehend the Kikoho's violation of logic.

[up] Yes there is. Penguin village is in a different location, Senbei isn't as smart in Dragon Ball as he is in Dr. Slump, and Arale hasn't shown anywhere near the strength she has in Dr. Slump.

He kept going to the bottom of the crater to see what kind of impact the blast would leave, expecting it to leave a circular impact only for it to be yet another diamond one.

"Wow, how does it do that?! Okay, Tien, now you die! OOH, another one! Whoa, diamond again!? Okay, Tien, NOW you die for real this time! Whoa, another!"

I like the Destructo Disk and Tri-Beam names, and prefer Special Beam Cannon because though it's silly, I can still remember it better than megansnuffleupotamas.

Also, I learned the english names for all three far earlier than the Japanese.

I really dislike the concept of those kids being stronger than any of the other Z fighters. But that's me.

Well it'd be complete bullshit if they weren't stronger than the humans.

It does in the vidya gaems!

But in all seriousness I think it's supposed to be invisible, like a shockwave.

I like the Special Beam Cannon because of a Raging Blast 2 match I had with my brother. I was Super Buu (Gotenks Absorbed) and spent the entire match trying to hit him with the Special Beam Cannon. Plus the way Buu says "Special Beam Cannon!" is funny.

I could stomach each kid being individually stronger than Yamcha, Chaotzu and maybe Tien, but 18 and Krillin are special to me.

#2888: Jan 30th 2013 at 5:19:41 PM

I could stomach them being weaker than 18, but definitely not Kuririn.

But as long as they're behind the adult Saiyans I'm fine with them. Maybe behind Kaioshin as well.

Oh yeah, they should be behind all the adult Saiyans and Kibito and Kai. But I think that even a Super child shouldn't be as strong as a base Vegeta, Goku or Gohan. Super 3 fusion should've been... SS 2 Goku strong. Maybe. I don't really care too much to think about it.

And the SS kids should've been weaker than Piccolo, too.

It isn't infeasible they're weaker than 18. The Androids were able to quite easily curbstomp Super Saiyan Vegeta, after all. And it's quite possible 18 has gotten more powerful since then, if that's possible for her.

No, they're definitely stronger than 18 as Super Saiyans. I was saying that if things were written diffirently I could accept them being weaker than her, not not weaker than the humans (in base) or the base adult Saiyans (as Super Saiyans)

And I definitely disagree about them as Super Saiyans being weaker than base Saiyans. It's a 50x boost. That'd just be too big a difference in strength to take seriously. And Gotenks should also be stronger than any of the unfused adult Saiyans, otherwise fusion is really, really shit.

Kibito's unimpressive, as well. He'd be a tough fight for base Gohan but still only around that power.

It's possible for her model. She and 17 could get infinitely stronger. Really, I don't see why Gero bothered building himself as his own model. Makes no sense, and I hope TFS calls him out on it.

Should've just made himself the 17/18 model and worked on a way to integrate the power drainers.

I miss 16 and Dabura. Would've been nice to see them redeemed in Piccolo's Hell (the rare GT ending I can accept).

[up]50x a child. I get hybrids are supposed to be strong or whatever, but I still can't get behind Trunks at 8 or Goten at any age being worth anything.

Instead of Goten, they should've had Gohan train Trunks in the main timeline, on the side of his studies. Keep him from being totally rusty. Also, it wouldn't give Goku another child to produce and then not bother contacting with King Kai mindlink.

This will be the third time I've asked you this. Why do you keep saying that? There's no evidence for it anywhere!

You really keep track of that?

I thought the evidence of that was... everywhere. Wasn't that the point of their model? Of course, I really don't care to look for it, and of course I don't read the manga, so whatever.

#2896: Jan 30th 2013 at 5:38:26 PM

I keep track of that because it bugs me when people don't answer my questions :I

And infinite energy is different from infinite power. They have a set level of power, and it never drops from using up too much energy or anything like that.

Although seriously, 17 and 18 are still organic enough for 18 to have a working uterus and ovaries, in spite of the fact that the slightest imbalance in hormones can drastically affect fertility, and they obviously have blood considering the uterus would need a lot of that to support a child with nutrients.

And 18 uses the Destructo Disk at one point in the Buu saga. That's a ki technique.

Saiga Since: Feb, 2011 Relationship Status: Getting away with murder
#2900: Jan 30th 2013 at 5:48:46 PM

Oh and to answer your question about Gero, he first made 19 as an Energy-absorption model because it was easier to control that model (since 17 and 18 were rebellious fucks, and 16 was screwy). He just didn't trust his infinite energy model enough to stick his brain into one.

But yeah, 17 and 18 are practically human. Gero modified them but not drastically so.

[up] Kuririn's is, yes, but the Androids can reproduce ki techniques with their artifical energy.
