This week I learned that making toast made for more compelling gameplay than DBZ.

Has anyone been watching Xenoverse develop? I've got to say, it sounds awesome, but the gameplay looks... lacking.

DBZ Kinect 2 also went up.

And i feel like pointing out that, for the entirety of his battle with Goku, Vegeta (scouter) was not wearing a scouter.

Vegeta (scouter) never fought with it equipped in the series either, and has costumes without it.

Dumbest character division evaaar.

Even then, 'fight' seems a little generous for the Arlians.

Honestly, how did they expect that to go? The media field day would've been justified.


I choose to believe that Launch was the only significant contribution besides the Z Warriors.

I was always amused by the existence of Vegeta Scooter Edition in the video games.

I love how his ego saved the universe.

Considering Hercule did more to save the universe than the Kais...

Satan did what God could not.

This is so disturbing.

Not so much his ego as his popularity.

[up] ah, but a Kai invented the Spirit Bomb. They just needed Satan to bring it to full power.

[up] Which still didnt do the job, they had to wish Goku back to full power to finish it.

And by Goku's claim earlier he could have beat Buu at full power by himself but he took too long, so really it was the dragon who saved the day any way you look at it.

[up]And technically, that was thanks to Vegeta. He realized they had a third wish, despite the Namekians standing right next to the dragon.

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

'Save the day' implies there was any danger at that point.

There really wasn't. At that point the deck was stacked so hard against Boo he couldn't win no matter how stupid Goku and Vegeta acted - even if he killed Goku, that would just mean dead Goku immediately gets up and uses Super Saiyan 3 without drawbacks.

Well, depends on where in the afterworld you go if you die while there and alive. Might be the same spot, might be that you get whisked to King Yemma's desk of rich mahogany first.

And even then-

Wait. No.

[up][up]Isn't that assuming Goku could beat Buu in Super Saiyan 3? He thought he could but there was no gurantee.

But even if that was the case and Super Saiyan 3 Goku couldn't beat him Gohan would just come in eventually and easily destroy Buu so either way...

If Toriyama was going to due the whole pure Buu thing he really should have at least come up with a bullshit way for him to be the strongest like "absorbing all those people actually made him weaker because having a concious mind unintentionally put restrictions on his power" or some such nonsense.

That was actually what happened, at least in the dub. The purity of the Kai's he had absorbed made him weaker, which is why Fat Buu is shown to be the weakest of the variants.

Super Buu is stronger than Kid Buu, though. The South Supreme Kai made him stronger, it was the peaceful influence of the Dai Kaio that made him less powerful.

Isn't Kid Buu the most dangerous since that form is unthinking and basically a force of nature?

The problem with that is the show never made it quite clear who was stronger Kid Buu or Super Buu they claim Kid Buu got stronger but Goku get his ass kicked by Super Buu but say he could beat Kid Buu.

He's the most volatile and unstable, yeah, since he'll just casually blow up a planet. Super Buu may be able to do that twenty times over, but he won't if he has reason to keep it around, like good fights or good food.
