Also, clearly Bra was born as a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan and is always in the form.

Bulma's hair colour is a bit inconsistent,isn't it?

Bulma's hair is unusual, but not really inconsistent.

I'd be willing to assume she died it if not for the fact that hair dye isn't hereditary, and Trunks seems to have split the difference between Bulma's blue-green and Vegeta's black to create his purple - which, by the way, is totally how genetics work.

Yeah, Freeza apparently never trained before his death(s), and apparently just doing so for 4 months was enough to make him stronger than Majin Buu and shit.

So, uh, good thing Freeza was a lazy ass, or the Namek saga would have gone a lot differently.

Also, if I recall, Bulma's hair was (most of the time) purple in the manga, which is where Trunks gets it, but it became blue in the anime and the anime staff didn't catch that Trunks's hair was supposed to be the same color as hers.

I don't get it, how is Frieza relevant again? Like I get that he gets revived or whatever but how does he not just get swept aside like he's nothing?

100 push ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km running. Every Single Day!!!

...for four months.

Violet hair is totally for a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 2.

Also, since Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is just the Super Saiyan transformation, doesn't that mean it only multiplies power by 50?

Also, Frieza probably doesn't know what a month is anymore than he does a minute.

Yeah, from what I hear, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan isn't so much a completely separate form as it is them just learning how to use Super Saiyan on top of Super Saiyan God (which implies that Super Saiyan God is a separate power up and not just a new Super Saiyan form, technically?)

I can't wait for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 3 and the explosion of hair and power wanking that brings!

According to the review on Kotaku he doesn't. The extra training helps in allowing him to fight somewhat on even ground, but both Vegeta and Goku are actually stronger than him. Frieza needs outside interference to finally gain the upper hand against Goku, and then he'd still have to deal with Vegeta.

If he does the training in a black hole, that helps significantly. A black hole is a gravity well. We've discussed before how increased levels of training are required to achieve increased levels of strength, usually in conjunction with Tien's battle power; Mountain Training can only take you so far, then you need to start Gravity Training and utilizing things like the Room of Spirit and Time and shit.

A black hole is the ultimate Gravity Training, and has never been attempted before in the franchise, so we have nothing to measure its effectiveness by. Thus, not only is it an avenue yet unpaved in the franchise, it's also one that feels like it should trump everything that's been done thus far.

Yay time dilation!

EDIT: Although, I think it'd work the other way around, actually.

Go watch Interstellar again.

Assuming one can even survive in a black hole.

#11141: Apr 22nd 2015 at 11:06:51 AM

I mean, it's Frieza. The sort of shit he can survive already is pretty cray.

...And, I remember a thing where black holes technically have mass? Well, obviously, because gravity. But, like, they aren't holes. They're just really really tiny and really really dense things. Not planets. Not stars. But they're physical presences, not, like, absences the way a "hole" would imply.

Also, they probably emit heat and light the way a star does. But light can't escape a black hole's gravity so it doesn't get very far.

i think reaching the event horizon stops time for you.also atomizes/spaghettifies/energises/blackholifies every single particle of your body,but those guys are supers.might shrug that off.

i guess if you got it,the moment you'd be out is that of the black hole's collapse.which is a bit (actually a LOT) before proton decay.

So according to physics nerds a black hole has 2.98 x 10^42 times Earth's gravity.

how strong is the Sun's gravity?might be a better start.plus extra heat resistance!

Our sun in our solar system has 27.94 times Earth's gravity.

Less than the gravity Goku trained under on the way to Namek.

I mean. There's a lot of different suns out there probably.

I don't think gravity and power level are the same thing.

That would be stupid.

For starters, gravity has to do with mass, and forces and stuff.

This being Dragon Ball, time dilation in Black Holes would be an aspect that would be just outright ignored.

I do like that "Training near a black hole" is an actual legit training method that would help Freeza get there in a relatively short time. Of course, Freeza better have a decent training method, what would happen if he skipped leg day? tongue

(On a somewhat related note, Freeza insists on giving precise estimates for everything. 5 minutes until a planet explodes, 4 months to reach a power level he can't actually sense, understanding that he's using precisely 97% of his power, etc. He's got to be wrong on quite a few of these, like the Namek exploding time)

Again, Namek exploding in five minutes is actually feasible in the manga when you take into consideration that fights were only lasting a second way back in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai and they only got faster after that.
