I forgot TFS was part of Channel Awesome until this video.

[up]I want to say they used the Dragonballs to have 18 come to this world just for this video.

I'm pretty sure they did but that doesn't mean they no longer have a good relationship with them. Or that TFS isn't potentially most popular than everyone else on Channel Awesome.

That was the silliest music video I've ever seen and I'm totally alright with this.

You know, with how they once had Goku arrive on Namek to Hulk Hogan's theme, having Gohan be the John Cena to Goku's Hogan could work, at leas for that moment.

With the hype he's got behind him, some could call Cena a modern day Hogan.

One of the video's YouTube is commending me is SSJGSSJ Goku VS Naruto.

EOS Naruto is probably saiyan saga dragon Ball at best.

I haven't seen Naruto, but I think some anime vs. peoples sorely underestimate how powerful the characters in Dragon Ball became due to the fact that they tend to limit themselves to city-size explosions.

Frieza was a planet-buster. Cell had enough power to destroy the entire solar system. Super Buu ripped a hole in the fabric of space and time by throwing a tantrum and shouting really loud.

And none of them are even in the ballpark for the kind of power thrown around by the likes of Beerus, Super Saiyan God, SSGSS, or Golden Frieza.

Forget Freeza, Saiyan Saga Vegeta was a planet buster. Super Buu killed every human except two with one attack. That bit in the underground lake during BoG shows that SSG Goku and Beerus were likely moving at near relativistic speeds.

Compared to people from almost any other series, the Dragon Ball fighters are nearly unparalleled.

Sailor Moon and a few others from that series are arguably just as powerful.

Usagi fights enemies capable of destroying planets (and in one case, kills a sentient evil planet).

That's to say nothing of Chaos.

I'm not saying that there aren't characters of near equal or even greater power, I'm just saying that the number is rather small.

As noted, Goku was fighting enemies capable of destroying planets in the Saiyan Saga. Krillin is capable of planet-busting.

"Can destroy a planet" is actually meh-worthy by Dragon Ball standards.

Namek made the powers seem very impressive, and everything on Namek and after gets exponentially stronger.

Final form Freeza was insanely overpowering. As in "pointing a finger to a planet and atomizing it".

[up][up] Character statements from in verse are scrutinized until actually proven true. Their is no proof that cell was a Solar system buster at any point. And any casual planet busting in the anime up until Buu saga is seen as filler or is its own continuity entirely compared to the original source material.

Hell, SSGSS Vegeta was killed by a regular planet blowing up,Maine by a Frieza that was almost out of energy entirely, which should have been enough to make people realize they actually "overestimate" dragon ball more then underestimate it.

Survivability in a vacuum is not indicative of planet destroying ability.

Oh really when?

Sure. But not being able to survive in a vacuum limits you quite a bit on a cosmic power scale.

Yeah, but I saw that part (though I still haven't watched the whole movie) and Vegeta's body was nowhere to be seen.

To put it in terms you guys can understand, Vegeta got Yamcha'ed (killed by a weaker enemy, because he couldn't properly defend from an attack while his guard was down).

Untrue. Frieza blowing up Namek was decidedly not filler.

'Course, that wasn't casual either. It took some buildup, and the explosion was delayed.
