I think the section "Fear of a Black Super Saiyan" on this article linked two pages ago is a really good understanding. I like it, and can identify with that. I liked Piccolo and Krillin, two of the more non-standard heroes. It might've been why I really liked the Garlic Jr. arc, but tuned out during parts in the rest of the series where they didn't do much.

[up][up] [lol] I see.

[up][up][up]When'd he do that? I thought you were referring to how Goku nullified Beerus's planet destroying attack.

Having something around that can destroy energy like that seems useful. All that ki being thrown around without regulation is probably gonna cause a big crunch sooner or later, if it keeps scaling up as it has been.

And through process of elimination of Team Fourstar's number one movie/special, Battle of Gods.

But first, some "honorable" mentions.

I'm quite happy that's number one. :)

Also, I just realized that World's Strongest's Japanese name translates to "The World's Strongest Guy".

That just sounds a lot less epic.

Their #1 makes total sense. Now that the manga (and the anime) has started treating Beerus and Whis like actual members of the supporting cast, I keep realising how well they seem to fit inside the Dragon Ball world. They're some of the best additions to the franchise.

Now, if only Super's version was as good. All it had going for itself was Episode 6 and Episode 11. And a bit of 13.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

Episode 15 had Goku pretend to spar with Mr. Satan while skiving off work, if that's what you mean. That's the one where Goku ridiculously oversells one of Mr. Satan's punches.

Regarding Galactus's importance: I recall reading something about Galactus needing to absorb energy so that after the universe dies to entropy, he can use the energy he's stored to kickstart the Big Bang that gives birth to the next universe? Something like that.

[up][up] Agreed. That scene is fantastic. [lol]

Ah, yes, that scene was amazing. [awesome]

Too bad the rest of the episode was kind of shit.

Wow...unexpected reference at the beginning!

But it's actually a really heartwarming thing too, which is weird.

Goku so far beats Vegeta in the parenthood department.

Also, hoping we get a "like a bitch" from Perfect Cell in the upcoming humillation. Because damn, they really made Vegeta even more hateable in the events than just transpired, and he was already damn hateable in the original... As in, he draws more hatred here than when he was the main villian...

Vegeta wasn't really ever beating Goku at any point, he's started off bad and got worse.

Goku started off Okay-ish, then he majorly dipped for a good while with his constant ignorance, and he's now slowly getting back up there.

...Wow, this was one of the longer episodes and it still felt over with too quickly.

I don't know what that says.

...I really want to see Vegeta get his shit wrecked in like a month or two.

Anyone got a screen of the 'creepy solar flare image' this time? I couldn't catch it.

Also great episode, Vegeta was just awesomely hammy... It's such a shame that it's the last time for a good while.

I think we'll have to wait for it to go up on youtube. What with the playback speed options.

Apparently the episodes are back.

18/Krillin best thing ever.

Also, the deleted scene contemplated something that had been bugging me for a while.

The first time Cell approaches 18, he starts humming the Faulconer version of Cell's theme. grin

That was probably the best episode since 30.

Got the solar flare image as well.

It's Cell and 18, With Cell's tail thing wrapped around 18 in a "Rule 34" kind of way. You don't see anything explicit however.
