It is a good question to ask though.

Canonically known as Super Saiyan Blue, because Goku bit his tongue. Really.

[up][up][up]SSB is probably stronger than SS 4, but SS 4 had the better design and origin. Of all the dumb things they did in GT (that I read about, I admit to never having actually followed the series), that was the one thing I actually liked and I'm disappointed they didn't even glance at it when designing this new upgrade

Well, I beg to disagree on that; 4 always felt a bit like wasted potential, and didn't mesh at all with Goku forced into being a child. Could be far better, but at least it is better than about the rest of GT (although the Shadow Dragons ALSO had potential).

I will always think 4 replacing the great ape form in those who manage to control both it and super saiyan would be better that just pretending to follow a progression; it was clearly NOT something beyond 3, but a different thing altogether. But hey, my opinion.

Super Saiyan 4 was only really wasted after Goku beat Baby; after that it was Base Goku Time.

SSB is probably stronger than SS 4, better design/origin

Does "almost destroy the universe with our punches" count as an actual feat for SSG now? I skimmed that part of the fight and only heard about it from here.

In which case, not only is that completely ridiculous, but yeah, SSB is probably stronger.

Darn, I was expecting Dead Zone to be 6. Ok, so it HAS to be the next one then.

Let's see...that's Dead Zone, Bardock, Trunks, Battle of the Gods and World's Strongest, right?

Oh God! Natural light!

Yep, that's the remaining 5. I guess with Fusion Reborn out of the way, I can see their order being Dead Zone, Bardock, Battle of Gods, World's Strongest, Trunks.

Do we know what the special video after the list is complete will be? Because I have a strong suspicion that World's Strongest will be number 1 and the special video will be World's Strongest Abridged.

DBZA Episode 51, Hellsing Ultimate 6, Attack On Titan Abridged episode 2, and potentially Broly may come out in short order. Kaiser did express a desire to abridge World's Strongest a while ago, as well.

I'm surprised they didn't bash the "why did he summon literally the only thing that could defeat him" thing that they seemed to hate so much in DZ Abridged. Not upset, just a bit surprised.

It actually didn't matter that he did because he was gonna win anyway until Gohan got involved.

They kinda did. "Although the amount of hubris on display here is astonishing even for this franchise."

[up][up][up][up] ...Sorry, why do you think that they hated the Dead Zone?

Yeah they made fun of it in the show, but I think that doesn't imply contempt the way you think it does?

They do this because they like Dragon Ball. Because they love it.

And they make fun of it because they love it even when it's kinda dumb sometimes.

...I think they wouldn't be able to do GT because of that. It's hard to make fun of something you despise without just becoming meanspiritied and bitter about it.

Like, they managed to find nice things to say about Episode of Bardock. They liked the animation.

On an unrelated note I like how much the animation matters to Kaiser. It's a neat thing. Makes sense, given what he does.

...I remember a thing in one of the Breakdowns where he put "fixing your shit Toei" in one of the layers.

Seriously, I like how Kaiser edits the series.

...what makes you think he thinks they hate Dead Zone? He was specifically referring to the "Garlic opens the Dead Zone when it's the only thing that can defeat him" thing. Not the whole movie.

I also got that impression from the "the whole thing is just a movie idea Krillin's pitching to Nappa" thing.
