Unless it's supposed to be deliberate training for UI, Goku shouldn't suddenly be such a shitty fighter that he gets caught off guard all the time. Again, he's not only the strongest of the Z fighters, but also the most skilled, no buts or ifs.

Dragon Ball online did have the dragon balls as a means to allow humans to have access to the power of a Saiyan.

Wasn't that because most humans had at least a little bit of Saiyan heritage at that point anyway?

For it to be that well and evenly distributed in the population, someone had to get around an awful lot.

To be fair, being rich and famous certainly might help Trunks out in that department.

And to not count Pan and Bra out, Saiyans having that thing where they stay in their prime of youth to fight longer could also delay menopause.

I want "bird nerds" printed on a T-shirt. That may be the funniest thing to have come out of Cell's mouth yet... I can't decide:

  • bird nerds
  • I ain't no helicopter papa, sink or swim b-tch
  • You're either perfect or you're not me
  • Hi, I'm Trunks please love me daaaad~
  • That is how I power the beautiful temple that is my body
  • Can someone explain the definition of "filicide" to Goku? I'd ask Gohan but... well he's been filicided

I guess Cell wins the "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say," contest this season. Its been a non-stop rollercoaster of quotable material from him-

Oh, right, we're talking about Super. imagine that

If an hypothetical Broly the Second Coming happened in the future, what do you think would set Broly into becoming Super Saiyan?

I was theorizing that instead of Goten triggering him, it would be Trunks. Why?

Even if Pan and Bra were hopped-up on fertility drugs, they could safely have, at most, eight kids a year in bursts. And yeah, Trunks is rich and famous, but he's also been shown to be a massive, awkward dork as an adult in every iteration of his adult self (GT, Xenoverse, End of Z, Future Trunks) And I'm 99% sure he's as gay as the day is long.

The Saiyans are functionally an extinct species. There's no way to naturally change that, and no one seems interested in bringing them back to Universe 7 with the Dragon Balls somehow. And, like, why would anyone be interested in that? They were kind of terrible.

They can only hope to get now is absorbed into humanity enough to make the species stronger as a whole in the future.

MM Os usually have a large Story and Gameplay Segregation regarding the number of players active.

For example, in World of Warcraft's Legion expansion, there is a single order champion for each of the twelve classes. But every player who does the legion storyline plays the part of that champion, so that is twelve lore characters representing hundreds of thousands of players (maybe millions, not sure how many 110+ characters playing).

So the fact that Earthling players all have Saiyan genes in Online doesn't necessarily mean it is meant to be as widespread as the number of real players. It could be storywise that there are a small number of distant descendants that represent the player characters.

Super gives me the impression that Trunks isn't exactly the "spread his royal oats" kind of guy.

I'd say the "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say" award either goes to Cell or 16 this season.

It just occurred to me that I am REALLY curious to see their take on Buu. A character already as childish and goofy as Buu should be a treat to write for.

I'm wondering how they handle Adult Gohan, and Krillin's hair.

Dabura should also be a fun villain while he lasts.

Given how they kept the villains villainous, I also expect Babidi should be pretty awful.

I touched on this a bit ago, but you know that modern TFS would totally flesh out Spopovich's grudge against Mr. Satan and make that into his driving character trait, and that sounds like it'll make for some really interesting interactions.

WOW's subscription base is probably still in the millions. I assume the game is past its peak playerbase but I remember it being in the 10m range and I seriously doubt it's dropped to below 10% of that. And a lot of players have more than one character.

Edit: Oh wait, that would be each champion representing hundreds of thousands of players. If we go with a guess of 5m still playing I doubt each account averages the 2.2 dedicated high level characters needed to average 1m per class.

That is incredibly off-topic. Impressively so.

Oh wait, you were responding to Saiga. I was all confused.
