Part 1 of Legends Fest. Broly is amazing.

Also I think this is the best DBS Broly's looked outside of FighterZ. He works best when you portray him as a rabid out of control monster that needs to be put down, not just in his attacks and voicelines/screams, but his idle animations, his transformation sequences, his posing, his win screen and Legends conveyed that perfectly. I don't think Sparking Zero or Xenoverse did a good job at even portraying it in their attack animations for him.

Also a modern Dragon Ball game can only be at its visual best when they're allowed to go crazy with model deformation and camera angle/perspective tricks like FighterZ does. Sparking Zero and Legends both shine bright when they do that.
>>
>>568036818
Why did it take them 8 years to make a character that transforms twice? SS3 Goku is basically asking for it.

Nothing really to say for Gogeta. I don't understand why they didn't take the game-original attack he did in Dokkan, they even had the perfect opportunity to do so when they added the dimension thing. With how high quality Broly is, I think it makes sense that he may have put a bullet in their budget

Gogeta being an ultra also means they may start doing second ultras which I'm also not crazy about. I do think movie 8 Broly and SS4 Goku kind of deserve it though because they had boring animations and slightly touched-up models for theirs and deserve better.

So what do we think, will the remaining SZ characters be mostly returners, newcomers or will they keep the balance? My prediction is 36 characters total with the remaining ones being Pilaf Machine (both forms), Chi-chi (flip a coin for kid Chi-chi returning or adult Chi-chi debut), Vados, GT Goten (base and SS), Kibito and Hatchiyack
>>

Probably returners and the missing DBS guys.

>Kushina not raising Naruto is just stupid, even worse that she for some reason hasn't been visiting him lately. Naruto could easily still be lonely even if he has a better home life
>Goku/Naruto/Sasuke having a free-for-all fight where Naruto and Sasuke teamed up against Goku, knocked him out of the ring, then Sasuka casually just kicks Naruto away from the ring and declaring himself the winner like a chuuni was hilarious

>>
The fanfic talk was fun. Don't hesitate if anyone has any to share.
>>
>>568040826
>Goku's personality took a little weird turn. He's all chummy with Naruto because he was asked to, which kinda goes against his free spirit personality
Yeah, sometimes there's some weird angles to stuff but honestly I can't see Goku minding making a friend.
>Story is implying a Goku/Ino ship, but they really don't have much chemistry
Yup, that's something I noticed too, even if I hope I didn't influence your perception of the relationship by mentioning it earlier.
>>
>>568041094
>Yeah, sometimes there's some weird angles to stuff but honestly I can't see Goku minding making a friend.
He wouldn't mind making a friend, but he aggressively interacted with Naruto until they became friends, partially because he was told to, and friendship with Goku is more like, you stay near him long enough and he'll call you a friend. In DBS he even bailed on playing with Zeno because he wasn't interested in doing so. It would make more sense if Kushina showed up and had them hang out until Naruto became friendly with him.

>even if I hope I didn't influence your perception of the relationship by mentioning it earlier.
You just mentioned it was weird, but I waited until I saw it to judge. The way Ino is being written here is similar to Bulma in how she's an occasional opportunist (Such as the pinky swear), which's odd for Ino's original personality since she's like a girlier and nicer Sakura. Worse is that with her being writen closer to Bulma, she lacks the hilarious chemistry Bulma had with Goku in the OG manga. It's something that can improve but right now I'm not impressed. Had that "Don't eat me!" moment happened with Ino instead it'd work better (And IMO, reacting dramatically like that feels a little more Ino flavored than Sakura).
>>
>>568041927
>It would make more sense if Kushina showed up and had them hang out until Naruto became friendly with him.
That's a very good point.
>Had that "Don't eat me!" moment happened with Ino instead it'd work better (And IMO, reacting dramatically like that feels a little more Ino flavored than Sakura).
Yeah, now that you say it, Sakura would be more likely to react aggressively like she does when Naruto messes with her. She also tend to not take seriously anything she consider bizarre at this point in the story.
>>
>>568042187
>Yeah, now that you say it, Sakura would be more likely to react aggressively like she does when Naruto messes with her.
And the way Ino grabbed Goku's tail in chapter 4 while telling him to not start a food fight is a little closer to how Sakura would act if she knew of the tail weakness (Even then, that'd still be too aggressive, as Sakura would at least wait for him to start it to scold him). Ino feels more like an OC, which happens often enough in fanfics (Sometimes even in official media), specially love interests, so I'm not surprised. A little disappointed, but not surprised.

>She also tend to not take seriously anything she consider bizarre at this point in the story.
Ino or Sakura? Well, either way they're not reacting much to Goku after chapter 3 aside from his pranks (And him being a prankster stealing lunch and money from teachers is pretty damn odd too).
>>
>>568043803
>Ino or Sakura?
Sakura. A big part of why she's so dismiss toward Naruto at the start is her MASSIVE normalfag complex IMO. Ino honestly doesn't have that much characterisation.
>Ino feels more like an OC
True but sadly that's kinda hard to avoid when you expend on most of the Naruto cast.
Yeah, I didn't get the 'Goku is a prankster' thing either but it almost never come up so I shrugged it off as 'Goku being Goku but people see it as a prank'.
>>
>>568044285
>Ino honestly doesn't have that much characterisation.
Yeah she got sidelined pretty quickly after her fight with Sakura. All that we have of her personality is her crush on Sasuke, her being a bitch to Sakura because of said crush, IIRC she was annoyed by Naruto's antics once, but otherwise she's friendly (She's the one who comforted Sakura back when she was bullied), girly, if occasionally vain, only shows minor annoyance to Shikamaru and Choji's antics, and according to one filler scene, wants big tits. Remove the crush on Sasuke and she's almost a blank slate, yet this fanfic changed the few traits she has.

>Yeah, I didn't get the 'Goku is a prankster' thing either but it almost never come up so I shrugged it off as 'Goku being Goku but people see it as a prank'.
IMO it'd make more sense if this was Naruto influencing Goku into it as a way for them to mess around, that way it could have Goku being innocent and unintentionally annoying to the villagers, but the story implies they planned it together.

Kid Goku's spotlight trailer for Gekishin Squadra is out
https://x.com/i/status/2058387829450031415
>Passive allows him to dash around immediately after a skill
>Skill 1 is Kamehameha with a Shockwave that damages enemies
>Skill 2 is Power Pole Extend that pierces enemies
>Skill 3is Rock, Scissors, Paper. 3 hit combo that applies Defense Down, Shrinks Field of View, and AoE with stacks for duration.
>Ult is the Great Ape Punch
He looks pretty fun. Skill 3 might be trouble.

>>568053805
>English localization
>Using Kinto'un and Nyoibo
That's cool honestly.
>>
>>568053805
>>568054082
He looks very fun. I didn't expect him to always be on Kinto'un and to have the Oozaru punch as a less obnoxious Ryuken.
I love how his kamehameha looks.
>>
>>568054082
>Using Kinto'un and Nyoibo
This game prefers Japanese terminology for character names. Majuub is Super Uub, Kid Buu is Pure Buu, Kid Goku is Goku Youth.
>>
>>568054082
Feels wrong for me. Power Pole and Nimbus all the way.
>>
>>568054506
I think it's for the best. Would be cool if they could unlocalize the attack names like Dragon Fist, Spirit Bomb and ESPECIALLY Destructo Disk. The first two at least are literal translation but the disk is just goofy. Same for Piccolo's SBC.
>>
>>568054693
>Power Pole and Nimbus all the way.
Those names make no sense tho.
>>
>>568054991
Maybe so.
>>
Hot take: I don't like Goku Jr. The whole 'Oh, he doesn't even remember he fought the bad guy or had powers and think he got saved by the bear mom while passed out' makes no damn sense with how anything work in DB.
>>
>>568055526
It kinda fits, with how Gohan couldn't remember getting mad at Raditz and hitting him before he learned to control his powers
>>
>>568055661
That was for one attack tho, not a whole transformation and fight.
>>
>>568053805
>Another zoner Goku
Are these devs for real? This game has 5 Gokus, and four of them are zoners now, and Teen Goku of all characters as a zoner too? He should either be a tank, or a DPS with plenty of HP like Dabura. Anyways...
>His passive is similar to Kefla's. Might be even better for quick use or in 1vs1 since it's after a skill is used. You'll really want Defense Step with him
>S1 seems similar to Piccolo's S1, with it doing more damage the further the range
>S2 looks really linear and slow. It'd need to hit pretty hard to be worth upgrading
>S3 might be a pain in the ass. Two defense debuffs and Blind when he uses Scissors. Because of his passive, he can just use this once and dash away. If the devs went full retarded (Meaning, not impossible), then each use refills his vanish meter, giving him 3 dashes.
>The ult can be useful for mobility, create distance
>>
>>568056056
Given that they have a weird 'Versions of characters will always be in the same category', they're probably making them zoners on purpose.
>>
>>568056221
they mentioned characters would be role swapped after the first batch, whatever that means
probably meaning Tech Goku UI, DPS Bejita Blue, and Tank Orange Piccolo
>>
>>568056421
Would be cool, it'd be funny to make a full Goku team or a full Buu team.
>>
>>568056647
>full Buu
would be funny but I don't think we have enough Buus
Super Buu + Buutenks or Buutenks + Buuhan is likely a transformation, and then because Kid is Tech we'd need another 2
Evil Buu would be funny but unlikely
>>
It's actually insane how good Kid Buu (still) is over the other Techs. I'm a F2P who just came back at the tail end of last season and just had enough memories to hit my next tier 1 after a few days, and if I didn't have Kid Buu idk how I'd rank up to S. After reaching A3 with an 80% winrate, I played around with the other techs like my favorite Good Buu, 17, and Gotenks, and holy shit they just can't compete. It makes no sense that Kid Buu not only deals way more damage than them, but is way TANKIER than them as well. Genuinely what the fuck, why did they make the other Techs so dogshit? And Frieza's rocks skill dictates the flow of the game. It's crazy.
>>
Good Buu should be reworked into a Tank and Baby could be reworked into a Tech.
>>
>>568056221
We only really have characters being part of the same role, but other repeats have been more flexible. SS4 Vegeta is an insanely defensive tank that can kill you in a few seconds if he gets you near a wall, and SSG Vegeta is a squishier tank with faster healing as his passive and a teleporting ult, and then there's fat and kid Buus, who play nothing alike. While the zoner Gokus have different kinds of zoning (Daimaku by throwing one explosive skill you can detonate with another skill and S3 to move if someone gets close, 3ku by being a slower charged one with teleports and an amazing ult, Godku being a Dot god, and OGku by being a poke and run), it's still weirdly repetitive of how much he's zoning, when Goku in general prefers to fight face to face. It'd be ironic if they add a GTku who isn't a zoner...

>>568058116
>It makes no sense that Kid Buu not only deals way more damage than them, but is way TANKIER than them as well.
The only balanced skill on his kit is S2. If he manages to hit you with it you're probably dying because of the stun, but if he misses, he has a really long recovery.

>why did they make the other Techs so dogshit?
It's not even that the others are that bad, more like kid Buu gapes techs that much. Of thers you mentioned you played with, 17 is the best one, but even he can't compete with how good Kid Buu is. It's ridiculous that Kid Buu's S1 had its damage cut by half (no exaggeration), and he's still a really strong character. Godgeta is in a similar position compared with other tanks, and I usually see people not even asking for him to be nerfed again, but to buff the other tanks to his level, since tanks aside from him are suffering (Though, Caulifla is still good).

>>568060073
>Good Buu should be reworked into a Tank
That would be nuts, to have a tank with respectable damage who can also heal you. He'd be doing Baby's thing better than Baby.

>and Baby could be reworked into a Tech.
He would benefit from going to top lane...

Not in this instance, since the English dub is still using Flying Nimbus and Power Pole. This game's localization feels like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. Some things use dub terms, other things original terms, it's a jumbled mess. They really should have it where, if you switch to English audio, it uses English terms, and if you switch to Japanese audio, it uses Japanese terms. As it stands now, there's just a huge disconnect on the English audio side of things. Though to be fair, people who play in Japanese are probably used to this feeling.

>Tankōbon or Kanzenban?
Kanzenban is bigger than the Tankobon and have better quality paper.

>DBZ or DBZ Kai?
Dragon Ball Kai takes the actual footage from the Dragon Ball Z TV series (which ran in Japan from 1989 to 1996), remasters it in high definition, and cuts out an average of half the material (generally “filler”). A new musical score has been provided by Kenji Yamamoto, and a new English dub

>>
>>568109010
Excalibur is English. or rather, a Saxon affectation of Celtic, which English partially descends from.
it's more like translating continental European placenames into English alternatives, which need I remind you was very common until the 20th century. one notable one is the country of Germany, which is 'Deutschland' in the native tongue.

No, it's fucking not.
Another exemple: Nobody translate Joyeuse as 'Happy'. Or Durandal as 'Hard Fire'.
>which is 'Deutschland' in the native tongue.
The native tongue of Germany has long been extinct. It's called Germany because the Romans called it Germanica after conquering it and Germany directly claim to be descended from them through the Holy Roman Empire.
>>
>>568110120
>it's more like translating continental European placenames into English alternatives
It's not translating at all because as in your exemple, Deutschland is not translatable as 'Germany' in any real extend, it would translate to 'The People's Land'. Germany is not a translation, it's a completely different name.
>>

'Germany' is just one region of the area. Germans don't call themselves 'Germanian/German' outside of when they're speaking English, their language isn't Latinate. the etymology of the word 'Germany' is irrelevant, my point was Germans don't call themselves that. it's a name foreigners gave them and use to refer to them in non-German languages.

>>568111583
it would be called Dutchland, if we followed the principle we do for other countries. instead we ended up calling people from Holland (another foreign imposition by the way) 'Dutch' because 15th century English speakers couldn't tell the difference between the German and Dutch languages so assumed they were the same people, and because we ended up associating more with Holland than Germany we applied the German name to the Dutch people. they call themselves Nederlanders/Netherlanders.

>Toyotarō:
My question’s so trivial I’m kind of ashamed, but… why does Super Saiyan Blue have blue hair?

>Toriyama:
In Battle of Gods it was red, so I figured for Revival of “F” I should go with blue. That’s all (laughs). Well, actually I was thinking about having it be white, but then it would color-clash with the “next enemy”… so I figured I should save it for another occasion (laughs).

>Toyotarō:
… I get the feeling I’ve just heard something amazing (laughs). Lord Beerus and Whis turn up in Dragon Ball Super, and have become an unsurpassable wall for Goku and the gang. What do the two of them mean to you?

>Toriyama:
Well… First off, right now I don’t have any plans for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Beerus and Whis.

>Toyotarō:
Ever since Battle of Gods, Beerus and Whis have become central figures.

>Toriyama:
If it hadn’t been for those two, making any more story after that would have been a nightmare. There wouldn’t have been anything to expand upon. That’s why I’m so glad to have them around. And their voices are good, too! Those voice artists are so talented!

>Toyotarō:
I really like the very start of the Majin Boo arc, when Gohan is attending Orange Star High School. I guess because it was so laid back.

>Toriyama:
Yeah! I really liked that part too… (laughs)

>Toyotarō:
Had you already come up with Majin Boo when you were drawing that part?

>Toriyama:
… Nope (laughs). I’m pretty sure I just kept on drawing without a clue Majin Boo was going to turn up. I enjoyed working on that part, but eventually I figured it was time to come up with a new enemy… Even though I would have liked to just go on with the “slice of life” stuff… (laughs)

Bravo Toriyama

Got to chapter 9
>"Ain't that right, Mochi-Chan?"
>She lowers her head to the table groaning.
>"Please, Tazuna-san... It's bad enough that Goku calls me that."
>Goku chirps from across the room.
>"It's cute! I thought you liked cute!"
>She leaps to her feet scrambling to get her wrathful hands onto him as Kushina raises her arms slightly to keep the mischievous monkey out of reach.
>"YOU WOULDN'T KNOW CUTE IF IT SLAPPED YOU IN THE FACE!!!"
>"But you're trying to right now!"
Kek. So weird Goku has better chemistry with Sakura.
>Story has some weird tree in the Forest of Death that Sarutobi claims to be a fossil, might be related to 10 tails
>Goku's personality is off for a while now. He made a speech to Karin about how great Konoha is even if a bunch of people hate you, seems Naruto's setting is affecting his personality, which makes sense, but he is kinda starting to sound like Naruto
>Amusing how the story puts no emphasis on Uchihas being around this time, there's only one throwaway line in chapter 1 hinting at a snowball effect, then years later they're still around with no emphasis put on it
>Kakashi got the short end of the stick, still being consumed by hate until recently changing his mind, and now Shisui is the leader of Naruto's team
>Shisui being the leader of Naruto's team is a good idea to keep the snowball of changes. The story is still pretty conservative when it comes to them (Kushina not raising Naruto for no reason is really noticeable), so at least this can get somewhere. Hopefully he just doesn't get killed only for Kakashi to take over later
>All this time I assumed that Goku had to leave the village to rampage as Oozaru because nobody knew that he could just not look to the moon, or that the story removed the looking at the moon requirement. Then it turns out they did know of it, and Goku later prevented himself from transforming simply by covering his eyes with his headband, so the Oozaru rampages are pointless
>>
(2/2)
>Weird that Oozaru Goku typically goes to one place with what I think is another 10 tails tree, and he befriended Karin.
>Karin is psychotic here, might even go full yandere. Had Oozaru Goku destroy the grass village in revenge, and even blackmailed Sarutobi into letting her do it, and live on leaf village or she'd make Oozaru Goku attack the leaf village, and it's odd the story treats it as something that could happen despite Oozaru Goku recognizing Anko and Sarutobi.
>On the other hand, Sarutobi handled her afterwards well. He plainly said that he could kill her and Goku would eventually move on, and that if Goku were to become trouble, he could kill Goku too, just that he really would rather not do it. I doubt he really meant it but it's good to say something to someone as potentially dangerous as Karin so the power doesn't go to her head
>Kinda boring the characters are now doing Land of the Waves with little change to the plot. So far the only differences are a possible Goku clone working for Zabuza, and Goku's ki being something that others can learn how to use. At least Kushina is acting more like Kushina
It's still interesting enough, but plot points are becoming more and more forced. Karin in particular and the whole "She befriended Oozaru Goku from multiple meeting and has some control over him" is the worst, pretty bad. Her killing in revenge in Naruto's setting is also questionable, though how Naruto itself treated revenge was questionable, but never to this point.

>Hopefully he just doesn't get killed only for Kakashi to take over later
Very unlikely, especially since Shisui is generally a fan favorite of people who are that deep in Naruto lore and he's considered at least Itachi tier so it'd take a LOT to kill him.
>Weird that Oozaru Goku typically goes to one place with what I think is another 10 tails tree
The thing is that Oozaru Goku just instinctively go to those trees and is calmer around them IIRC.
>Karin in particular and the whole "She befriended Oozaru Goku from multiple meeting and has some control over him" is the worst, pretty bad.
I thought it made sense with how the tree is said to influence the Oozaru and Karin's own connection to the tree.

When Sparking Zero first got teased it was an officially nameless project and there was 9 months of silence, from March up until the game awards in December.

It wasn't, he had like 1 magma spell, everything else was just absorption and copy.
>the Evil containment wave was the bane of Demon King piccolo and it was a mix of magic and energy,
1: It failed and 2: It's not magic at all, it's a ki technique.
>Vegeta even abuses healing magic on namek
No, he didn't, he 'abused' every type of healing he could and said abuse were Zenkai, which was a mix of normal spiritual ki stuff and sci fi alien biology stuff.
>Gohan's ability is based on a magic boost,
No, the fuck it isn't. Magic was used to used to unlock his existent potential, Gohan is using exactly 0 magic.
>dragon balls,
Never were able to defeat a single bad guy and were always utility. Very useful utility but powerless if Goku didn't just beat the bad guy with martial arts.
>magic is used as a plot device for Dabura being an enemy,
No, it's not, his magic is treated as a petty trick while he was dangerous because he was Cell tier and fighting a rusty Gohan.
>it's use in Daima, etc.
And it's all weak shit Goku folds with no effort except the Third Eye, which just so happen to boost Gomah's normal fighting abilities AND has a goofy easy to exploit weakness. (Almost like it's on purpose).

Love the guy who's like 'Shenron could have actually done more in Daima', no he couldn't have, he explicitly did as much as the chink in the Z fighters' defense that Gomah noticed could allow (AKA their defense work like white magic so any magic that's 'dark' AKA intend to bring harm is blocked off while magic that's not dark doesn't trigger their defense, which is why he has them turned into kids, cause that's not actually harming them, erasing their memories or turning them into fetuses would).

NTA but Neva's barrier was pretty powerful too, and Neva's magic created the Tamagamis to begin with, even if it's just to create someone who punches hard. Although magic in DB is typically not very strong anyway.
>>
>>568180830
>NTA but Neva's barrier was pretty powerful too
Yeah but Goku kinda just break through anyway by the end anyway. And it's more again more of a utility thing than something that would actually make you a threat by itself.
>and Neva's magic created the Tamagamis to begin with, even if it's just to create someone who punches hard.
That's just like the third eye tho, it's magic but in the end it just result in being converted to normal strength anyway.
And again, Goku beat them and despite being a VERY cool fight, it's not like it was a desperate struggle or a one shot like Salagir portrays stuff.
Don't get me wrong, you could make a SUPER cool fighting character in DB based on magic, combining powerboost, summons and barriers like all the Neva stuff but it's very different from how THEY mean 'magic is...STRONG!'.
They mean it in the 'DnD munchkin' way.
>>
>>568180830
>>568181045
Magic in DB is treated the same as Science in DB, which just so happen to be Salagir's other great love that he also get completely wrong.
His science feels more like the shit you'd see in Marvel or DC (the instant kill goo for exemple, it's peak Capeshit logic, especially how it can somehow kill a Broly who can tank infinite gravity).

His kamehameha broke through the demons realms but the barriers were gone by then. Granted, I would expect SS4 to be capable of breaking the barriers anyway.

Yeah, the only magic that isn't straightup combat related that is strong is the candy beam, and if you're strong enough you can brute force it. Plus even Buu rarely used it.

Turning the goofy into something fearsome will always fit DB more than turning technicalities into power.

The reverse as well, and since you mentioned Tuffle Quest, there was this whole part of having to get a nice soft panties to get in Konpei's sanctuary, Piccolo was involved and still acting sort of villainous, and we get this completely ridiculous moment where him and Maple are having a competition where both are making panties, with the panties Piccolo made even having his demon symbol, which was a feared symbol not too long before. The audacity of doing that felt very Toriyama flavored.

>What do you mean?
It's pretty straightforward. Gunnm is a scifi space manga with killer robots using fictional, tech enhanced martial arts in deadly battles. The heroine, Gally, is quite reminiscent of Bra (except done well and a good character) and a few characters there are using the power of SCIENCE to escape consequences and outdo naive poor gooders, including Desty Nova, a villain turned anti-villain who Salagir references in a webcomic.

Salagir WANTS to take Dragon Ball closer to Gunnm, which he loves, but he also knows on some level he can't go too far. It's a shonen. He'll stop just short of showing sex/rape (although he made Kakarotto an implied rapist), he wont go TOO dark but he's going to get pretty close. He'll have science and plans overcome honest martial arts like Desty Nova did for a while. He'll portray superpowers in a sci-fi way reminiscent of Gunnm (there's a chapter where Gally goes like nanosecond fast and you can see the world unravel in front of her eyes and everyone else being frozen, that's the kind of way DBM shows speed)

>>568180705
It's a manga first, but yeah it has clones/replacements and it's actually pretty solid but because it knows its strengths and how to leverage them. Art is the first step, you NEED a competent artist.

I didn't bring up DBM gore/dismemberment but Gunnm's full of it (Gally's signature move is actually losing limbs, it's actually pretty funny).

Except Gunnm also had a honest martial arts knucklehead being the best influence on Gally and the heart of the story, so... well.

>>568180217
>It's not magic at all, it's a ki technique
These guys haven't watched a single kung fu movie in their lives. Ki is basically magic to them. It doesn't MEAN anything martial arts related for them, it's just capeshit superpowers with specs and all.
>>
>>568183018
>It doesn't MEAN anything martial arts related for them, it's just capeshit superpowers with specs and all.
Yup, in their head, Goku is flying just cause he has the flight superpower, not because he is using a specific martial art technique called Bukujutsu (Literally 'Sky Dance Technique').
To them, ki isn't a literal culmination of martial art where you learn to wield your ki (literally 'breath', just like controlling your breath is very important in every martial art and fighting style) just as you learned to wield every other part of your body, it's just a random superpower energy like Superman's solar energy stores or Flash's Speedforce.
I think it's one of the most fundamental misunderstanding of DB in the west.
>>568182750

I'll say this about how Tuffle Quest handles its actual "Magic" system, it does tend to keep it both somewhat vague and yet structured enough to be variable and useful and open (as it's supposed to be a Quest, a game played by people, rather than a straight up fanfic). It also doesn't specifically present Magic as better or worse than Ki, but rather something that can either do things that "normal" Ki-based techniques can't easily (like breaking curses or creating clothes) or more often supplement it, which usually just takes the form of flavoring certain skills (for example: Maple learns to add Lightning to Ki attacks and creates techniques that can stun an opponent, Chiaotzu learns to add Ice to his to create techniques that can freeze an opponent, etc.). A big emphasis is also put on characters trying to train up those skills though, learning the basics and then trying to experiment with them to come up with something new. Which isn't to say that certain effects applied through combining them with Magic are impossible to replicate with "pure" Ki, either; Vegeta creates a variant of the Galick Gun with a stronger, spiraling version he dubs the "Helix Galick Gun" without having to rely on learning Wind Magic like Chuu Lee or Peppa did for the spiraling effects they applied to certain techniques. It does also have some more involved stuff with Magic later down the line, usually linked to Izzy's unlocking of a proper Magical Girl transformation ala the Kamikaze Fireballs (which itself ends up more of a Rayearth reference), but in spite of that one of the Magic techniques she tends to favor isn't anything extremely powerful or fancy or complicated; it's creating distracting dummies filled with glitter bombs, causing a blinding mess whenever a foe attacks one.

Do you think Freiza could raid the galactic patrol prison to recruit the convicts there for his army as well as recruiting the people who made seven-three to make him more androids of that caliber, Granola kinda obliterated their back ups but he took Seven-three to the heeters who then used the information in him to extort Zuno, imagine what Freiza could do with the information within Seven three, especially now that he owns Maki and Oil which means he now controls the Heeters former information network and resources with Gas and Elec dead, it also means he has the recordings of seven three-s battles with Merus, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and will learn of his copy abilities and probably the people who made him

imagine that, with a freiza this strong, with information from Zuno, with a potential army of seven three clones AND possibly the convicts he'll be a massive threat in the future even if Freiza no longer desires immortality his high ambitions haven't deteriorated one bit, imagine if Zuno tells him about how to get the super dragon balls or, about the demon realm's dragon balls or and this is the big one, where new namek is.

Basically, after an adventure that involved settling an ancient temple's magic gone awry, her Magical Girl transformation ends up with a much stronger "Magic Knight" upgrade she can access.
>There we go, that's the Dragon Ball kind of joke I want to see.
Honestly the fact that we keep getting lucky with it is part of why it's so fun. Even if it's a temporary distraction, foes still have to live with the shame of getting glitter bomb'd because that shit ain't getting out for months.

>Do you think Freiza could raid the galactic patrol prison
Freeza from the Namek Saga could genocide the galactic patrol and everyone in the prison with 0 effort. A Freeza soldier or adult Saiyan literally can't be defeated by the Galactic Patrol.
>>
>>568191706
yeah they typically stay out of Freiza's way even back then, Merus could of folded him but he's not suppose to interfere like that, through now that he's been reborn as a mortal while still allegedly retaining his ultra instinct I'm kinda curious how he plans on living his life now, does he take more liberal use of his overwhelming power or does he stay as he is? The game goes for Granola, he said nothing about restoring his long lifespan or reversing his wish despite being surpassed by Freiza, he only said he'll restore the damage to his planet and let Morito seal away the 2 dragon balls of their planet meaning his race will be extinct by the time Goku leaves with Uub.

Huh, when Grand Priest said he made Meerus a mortal and no longer an angel I wonder if that means if Meerus plaps a baby into someone will that baby be an angel still and if Meerus is mortal now is he a new race entirely or is it fair to call him a mortal class angel? he doesn't have pointy ears so he can't be classified as a human, if anything he probably now falls under the umbrella of human type aliens like Recoom, Apple,Granberry, the Tuffle race from GT, the glass race from heroes, that Vidro girl looked human compared to Lagss yet they're the same race? then there's Ribranne and her two friends they have different names and appearences in the anime while in the manga their transformations are their real selves, what's up with that?
>>
>>568192625
>Merus could of folded him but he's not suppose to interfere like that,
There's actually no justification for Merus not doing that and it's a complete plothole. He very much could have solo'd the Freeza Force and put the Galactic Patrol in charge of the universe using the amount of power we kept seeing him use without getting in trouble.
>Huh, when Grand Priest said he made Meerus a mortal and no longer an angel I wonder if that means if Meerus plaps a baby into someone will that baby be an angel still and if Meerus is mortal now is he a new race entirely or is it fair to call him a mortal class angel?
The answer, like for ALL Toyotaro-only arcs and plot points is: It doesn't matter because he'll never show up again and whatever could come up later again has been removed, is dead or has been sealed, same as the whole wish stuff from the Granolah arc, including Granolah himself and the dragon that could cheat infinite power for everyone.
>>
>>568192625
>what's up with that?
A lot of stuff from the TOP is stuff Toriyama came up with for the anime or as a reaction to anime idea and Toyotaro just kinda did a rush job throwing them in randomly cause he didn't care and the TOP in general was a mess in his version.
>>
>>568192625

Toyotaro write his arcs like they're self contained fillers and it shows
>>
>>568193216
moro arc had vegeta learn spirt fission and instant transmission he vocalizes he'll never use either one again after he pulls both off successfully

granola arc has vegeta learn ultra ego well enough to take the transformation at will and instantaneous loses every fight with it, apologizes that he can't utalize his ego to the fulliest like he thought

next arc he goes back to super saiyan blue during the brawl with beast gohan, ultra instinct goku, super saiyan 1 trunks, super saiyan 1 goten and legendary super saiyan controlled broly

does anyone have the group shot of Vegeta, Goku,Gohan, Piccolo and Broly seemingly teaming up against Black Freiza? Is vegeta still wearing the earring there? if he is I think it's safe to say ultra ego won't be returning in future arcs
>>
>>568192625
This is why I hope Merus is written out.
>>
>>568193945
>seemingly teaming up against Black Freiza?
There's no actual evidence of that BTW, Toyotaro just said he wanted to portray 'the strongests' now that they're close in power.
People VASTLY overestimated Black Freeza's importance and Toyotaro's plans for him.
Also Toyotaro genuinely tend to default to the anime version rather than his own version, like when Goku mention how he first unlocked UI and it fit the anime, not the manga.
>>
>>568194009
Genuinely, removing him and the Kaioshins purposefully giving Moro to the Galactic Patrol for safe keeping (they're LITERALLY the WEAKEST faction in the setting) would already make the arc a hundred time more bearable.
Just have Moro escape the Kaioshins after being depowered and comically getting picked up for some petty shit by the Galactic Patrol and they just proceed to be too scared to ever let him out after his time was up.

Only IT, he never says anything about not using fission and even tells Granolah he will use it if he tries to pull tricks like that. He also used UE after his apologize for not being able to use it as good as Beerus, and appears in the most recent volume and Vegeta's illustration of Jump Festa, this cope of UE not reappearing will never make sense

Can someone explain why people complain over Merus as if we knew when he joined the galactic patrol?

>>
>>568208420
Retards love to complain over things they just imagined. In the manga the Grand Priest even seems fascinated with U7 at the end of the Future Trunks arc and he's the one who personally decided to send Merus there to broad his vision so it's even more likely Merus hasn't been around for years and he was only send there after Goku surprised el grande padre
Anyway any timeframe is purely headcanon at the end so there's no reason to think he was there the 30 years Freeza was playing space Hitler

>Justin Cook was actually in his late teen years, when he first voiced Super Buu
>Chris Sabat says they were paid $20,000 per year in the beginning
>Chris Sabat got a lot of hate from purists such as Steve Simmons, he got into Dragon Ball Z in the early '90s, started compiling an online episode guide, was one of the original Funimation haters online, complaining about them changing the music, censoring, releasing dub only DVDs, fucking the names up and cutting episodes, and then starting with the Captain Ginyu Saga DVDs he was the guy translating and writing the subtitles for Funimation, his subtitles are still used for the DBZ, Super and DAIMA blu-rays too
>Sound design and audio mixing were way better on the original DVD/VHS singles; everything Orange Bricks onward has botched audio mixing and missing sound effects (Android 19 robot voice, Super Buu voice, etc.)

>James Marsters, who played Piccolo in the Dragon Ball Evolution movie, offered to voice a character in Dragon Ball Super completely for free in order to "redeem" himself. Marsters couldn't be paid as he was from the union and DBS was a non-union production, so in order to have a role in DBS, he had to use the pseudonym "David Gray" and take no salary

He's coping, the DBS remake already proved him wrong because Goku still absorbs SSG's power into his base form (a thing that only happens in the anime and the movie, not the manga). The stupid fanfiction shit like UI-Susanoo, Goku using Hakai, SSB stamina drain forcing Goku and Vegeta to use SSG in the Goku Black arc and other shit like that aren't going to be adapted, and the Moro arc won't be 1:1 with the promotional toilet paper either.

It's overall inferior to the anime on all points. It sits with GT as 'the closest DB has gotten to being bad' even if I can read it without having a bad time like I can watch GT without having a bad time.
>Should it be the main canon going forward?
Fuck no.
>>
>>568253425
It clearly already is somewhat canon since the anime is adapting the Moro arc from the manga.

I don't really think it's fair to say one is more or less canon than the other they're just different and both shit.
>>
>>568253425
Anon I don't want to trigger the autist but it has been canon since Shueisha declared it that way many MANY years ago, the DBS anime is like the old anime in the sense people take it as source because it's what most people consume, nothing else. Even Toei treats the DBS anime as a sequel of the Z anime too so there's no discussion anyway, not even Toei considers the anime canon, it's just the continuity they usually work in.

For the people who were talking about a '7th stand user-like' game for DB, I don't think you actually need to justify your race much. You can just have randomly ended up on earth as a kid and just grew up assuming you were a weird earthling and everyone around you did the same.
Just look at Tenshinhan, Pilaf, Oolong, Piccolo or Goku, nobody really questioned it.
Hell, they have fucking legit vampires, werewolves and demons around.
>>
>>568262589
the DB fanbase has a particular habit of overthinking things

>>
>>568183018
Just saying but they did the same with the Devil beam from Devilman. They just assumed it was magic when as far as the manga say, it's just an attack like any other and thus is probably 'just' ki.
>>
>>568262831
And he's honestly kinda right, it's not like anything stop anyone from just...going to Earth.
It's what they did once on Earth that matters.
Just look at Piccolo. He was just kinda sent to Earth randomly, he could have been sent anywhere else.
It's after he arrives on Earth that stuff is actually justified, like why he was split, why he became Kami, why he became Piccolo Daimao, why unsplitting is such a power boost etc.
Also technically, Piccolo isn't a mutant, he's 'just' described as an uber prodigy.
>>
>>568262589

An alternative to races could be fighting styles but then you run into the issue of being a vanilla human with no transformation not really scaling as well in coolness or utility in the story as being able to go Super Saiyan.
And even 7th Stand User had issues with not having Jotaro just do everything against Dio toward the end of the story because it's just that hard to justify being useful against Dio without also having some form of time stop counter. (Even if the author came up with a really neat non-stand specific trick against Dio in the Mad World ending where you go evil, side with Dio and then betray even him, it's just one trick and doesn't really go into the actual story of the fight like it does with Jotaro, instead just abstracting it with the normal combat encounter stuff, same for the 'Save Everyone Route' except that one doesn't even have a neat trick to justify Dio not timestop insta-killing you before the encounter starts)

Well I'm thinking to make the race matter to how the MC ended up in Earth, different starting points and the like. I never imagined characters being too weirded out about MC's appearance besides maybe a Namekian's (Roshi should at least think to himself how much the MC looks like king Piccolo), specially since DB characters may assume you're a foreigner if you look different. Just to add a little more flavor to the races, stories, and how they're implemented. It's fine either way though, the only real headscratcher is trying to justify someone from Buu's race being thrown on Earth before Buu himself is freed, since there are no other Buus so it can't just be said "someone from Buu's species just happened to be shoved to Earth". Although, the first discussions about 7SU DB game were made before Daima came out, now with it, a Buu MC could simply be a flawed prototype Marba came up with, and Bibidi dismissed him because he was too weak.
>>
>>568265050
>(Roshi should at least think to himself how much the MC looks like king Piccolo),
Very good point actually.
>Although, the first discussions about 7SU DB game were made before Daima came out, now with it, a Buu MC could simply be a flawed prototype Marba came up with, and Bibidi dismissed him because he was too weak.
Given that Daima established you can make a new Majin just from a random bit of Buu (magically preserved to not just regen into Buu) being thrown into a cauldron, you could have it that some witch found some Buu bits left over from when he got sealed, threw it in a cauldron and boom, you got your Earthling Buu.
Or you're just one of the attempts at making a Buu for Arinsu that failed due to being too weak (which we got direct confirmation exist) and you just kinda stumbled into Earth after being told you were fired (cause again, that's what was done with those defective majins, they were just fired).

>And even 7th Stand User had issues with not having Jotaro just do everything against Dio toward the end of the story because it's just that hard to justify being useful against Dio without also having some form of time stop counter
It's why MC becomes a supporting character when it's time to fight Dio. There are multiple times Jotaro can defeat Dio on his own without the MC at all, and IIRC, even when teaming up with Jotaro, you can lose most fights and advance the story (With the notable exception of Kakyoin's route. MC, Jotaro and Kakyoin will fight Dio, assuming you don't kill Dio earlier, but once you get to that point, victory is mandatory, and Jotaro won't counter timestop).

>>568265584
>Very good point actually.
Thinking of it, there are a few more situations where other characters should note a Namekian's appearance
>Korin
>When Crane Elder sees him
>Kami himself
>Maybe have a few civilians panic when seeing him during 23rd tournament?
None of these have to be plot important, just there for flavor text, and acnowledge a fellow Namekian.

>you could have it that some witch found some Buu bits left over from when he got sealed, threw it in a cauldron and boom, you got your Earthling Buu.
Very good point. It also removes an MC Buu being technically a super important character by being connected to Bibidi, and being older than dirt.


>Or you're just one of the attempts at making a Buu for Arinsu that failed due to being too weak (which we got direct confirmation exist)
Really? When was that said?

>and you just kinda stumbled into Earth after being told you were fired (cause again, that's what was done with those defective majins, they were just fired).
It could be excused as him following Arinsu to Earth while she was trying to find Buu, and she just fires him there. Comedically of course.

How would you handle Full Power Super Saiyan in a video game? (The form Goku & Gohan had after emerging from the time chamber during the ten days of rest before the cell games).
Would you have them achieve this form simply when at max ki?
Would you make it a separate character?
Would you leave it out entirely?
Also how would you handle the super muscular slower forms (Grades 2 & 3).
I'm thinking hiding them behind the Bulma's Armor alternate costume, like an added little bonus. (Too much clipping and animation issues or too many creative liberties required to have those forms on all costumes. (It also looks stupid).

Since people were talking about Goku in Naruto, what would Goku be in Bleach? The only 'mostly evil' race are Hollows but since they're basically just human souls that went evil (until they become Menos Grande, which seem to create a new individual), that doesn't really fit Goku.
Maybe Bounts? Their genocide kinda reflect the Saiyan's?

>It could be excused as him following Arinsu to Earth while she was trying to find Buu, and she just fires him there. Comedically of course.
That'd work pretty well. Could even be the Buu race tutorial / intro and it end with an unwinnable boss fight that Arinsu just shows up, one shots and goes 'Holy shit, you're weak AND couldn't find Buu, you're fired'.
>>568270650
>It's why MC becomes a supporting character when it's time to fight Dio
Yup and why the 'Save Everyone' route has very little narration and dialogue once you charge Dio's mansion alone. You could tell Clayman really had trouble deviating from canon around that point, which make sense given 1: The Jojo autism and 2: How fucking close they all came to just getting wiped. It's basically the Freeza fight of the Stardust Crusaders, where if ANYTHING had went wrong, victory was just impossible due to the raw wall and escalation Freeza / Dio represented.
>>
People talked about what they want the anime to change and personally I hope they remove 'True UI' entirely, that shit was dumb and just Toyotaro backpedaling because he jumped the gun on Goku controling UI.
Also remove Goku learn something from Bardock as a warrior. I'm fine with him remembering his parents tho. Just have some mention of Grandpa Gohan too.

In this universe they managed to deal with Bibidi and prevent Buu from being freed, then decided to go on killing sprees of whatever looked dangerous (Conveniently never shown killing anyone that we know wouldn't be dangerous, such as Goku). In other universes, Buu kills most of them and Shin does nothing afterwards.
>>
>>568370216
>Is super saiyan ever protrayed as being all that draining?
There are only claims of causing strain in their bodies and that maintaining it requires a lot of effort, but not stamina issues. You can argue SS2 has stamina issues since Gohan was tired and out of stamina after the kamehameha against Cell, but that was an extreme situation where he had a broken arm and unleashed everything he had. Only SS3 is really shown having stamina issues.
>>
>>568371771
I'd honestly argue that super saiyan causing strain on the body is outright a retcon, it essentially never comes up every by anyone who uses it until Toriyama needs to come up with a way to improve it so they train out the strain on the body. I GUESS you can imply it was implied with the heart virus stuff but that feels like a stretch
>>
>>568372113
>I GUESS you can imply it was implied with the heart virus stuff but that feels like a stretch
Goku was shown to be tired from just a short flight, so Heart Virus would fuck his condition even if he fought in base form. While fighting in super saiyan speeds up the process, I'm honestly not sure it would be that much faster compared to base form. SS1 is overal shown to be a very balanced form, and whatever strain it has, it's not that bad because on the same page Goku claims SS1 has a strain, he also says it's the best, balanced form.
>>
>>568373758
The whole mastering super saiyan thing is a deeply weird thing in general. It seems extremely simple to do yet goku just decided not to do it in the three year gap, as well as it being almost entirely forgotten in the minds of most fans because it's not like super saiyan in general was known for being heavily draining, so a form that looks exactly the same and is vaugely stronger doesn't stand out in the mind of most
>>
I feel like there's a degree of confusion on the difference between "strain" and "stamina drain" that's causing the issue.
You can get a "second wind" of sorts while still suffering from increased strain on one's body, like with adrenaline flooding the system. Super Saiyan would act more like that, tapping into hidden reserves of strength and boosting power up beyond normal limits, at the cost of exerting more strain on the body. That COULD result in stamina drain after a while, but the initial boost isn't taking much a toll on stamina; in fact it would appear to be the opposite, the "second wind" of going all out. This also could be seen as more of a limitation on the body itself than the form, hence mastering Super Saiyan before the Cell Games letting Goku and Gohan treat it like their base state. 3 is where the stamina problems become an issue, and that might just be because it's taking so much that it's hard to balance it like you can in 1 and 2.
>>
>>568374597
The issue is, if you differentiate strain and stamina, strain just becomes this vaugely ill defined and invisible thing. Like you can FEEL strain on your body in real life but actually defining that in a shounen where long term consequences for abusing your body aren't a thing at all makes it kind of a nothingburger
>>
>>568374536
>It seems extremely simple to do yet goku just decided not to do it in the three year gap
more egregiously vegeta goes back into the time chamber right after goku and gohan leave and STILL doesn't master it, which considering how simple it seems to be on paper is pretty fucking hilarious
>>
>>568374984
On that note and the talk of strain generally not meaning anything, it feels weird for Goku to have lectured vegeta that extra time chamber training would have just been torture on the body. Who gives a shit in a setting when senzu beans exist. Shit, Goku himself did some torturous training when flying to namek and it didn't matter because he had senzus.
>>
>>568374536
People ignore it because like you said it's very simple, SS but you are used to it, it's not even a different form, what is there to remember?
>>
>>568374536
It's not meant to be a new form to begin with, it's just SS1 but without the weaknesses, though, it still doesn't really stand out besides a lack of aura. Heck, being possible to do this with SS1 raises the question why they don't do it with SS2. But yes, it's weird Goku didn't come up with it in the three years gap since if there are any strains, he should have tried to find a way around it, but the three years training are really weird since only Piccolo and Vegeta got any real results from it.

>>568374597
This all would make sense if we ever actually saw it. Even a tired Goku in Namek fought Freeza and only had mental problems caused by the transformation, but not any physical ones. He even detransformed, tried to leave, transformed again, and nothing happened, and Goku doesn't mention any problems in Yardrat besides initially not managing to transform. In short, the strain is a pretend weakness.
>>
>>568376003
What also makes it feel like a fake weakness made up so toriyama can justify an upgrade is we SEE what strain looks like, Goku is strained super badly after he uses kaioken too far and we see absolutely nothing like that when anyone uses super saiyan
>>
>>568376003
Probably same reason SSB doesn't have 2 and 3 variants, the further you go from the basics the more specialized you become. SS2 and SS3 are overclocked versions of SS so they aren't compatible with keeping the form as if it was your normal state.
>>
>>568376003
>>568376662
Who's to say that goku and vegeta didn't master super saiyan 2 offscreen? It's not like it's ever revealed to have any sort of strain issue. Then again as brought up earlier neither was the original until much later
>>
>>568375232
>Who gives a shit in a setting when senzu beans exist. Shit, Goku himself did some torturous training when flying to namek and it didn't matter because he had senzus.
Goku mentions that even doing nothing there is rough, so you never properly rest, and there are only so many senzu to be used. And while he did some torturous training on the way to Namek, he did sleep, and even did zero training on the day he arrived on Namek. Toriyama occasionally keeps in mind that resting is an important part of training (Even if it's contradictory at times), and as late as FnF we had Whis telling Vegeta that he overtrains and doesn't let his body rest properly. Of course, the fanbase doesn't even tend to know that resting is an important part of training because the results Vegeta got on the three years of training, and that everyone got from HTC, were too good, so I can't blame them.

>>568376432
Kaioken is exactly what I was thinking when it comes to strain. Even without other characters saying it, it's clear Goku is putting a lot of effort into it. He doesn't look like he's putting much effort in say, SS3, but after he stops using it he is typically puffing, and against Buu he couldn't even keep it active. SS1 never showed any such issues.

>>568376662
That would make sense if the anime didn't have SSB Kaioken, or Toyotaro treating SSB as a massive stamina waster that makes FnF Golden Freeza look good. So odd both of them screwed up in different ways kek.

>so they aren't compatible with keeping the form as if it was your normal state.
There was also Toriyama's interview claim that you can use SS2/3's power in SS1, without their downsides, so if he can do that with SSB, no reason to go SSB2/SSB3.
>>
>>568377780
I don't remember senzus being on such an absurd ration that having two of them just to squeeze in some extra time chamber training would've gone amiss, especially with how much of a massive boost full power super saiyan is. Like you can't spam them son bra style but they're usually not running out completely unless it's something like the future timeline
>>
>>568377780
Kaioken is its own thing separated from SSB and both versions of the form have stamina drain, the manga's difference is the cooldown. Neither of these have anything to do with the full power SS talk

The anime didn't screw up, Kaioken is only straining if you mess up or push it more than you can control.
>>
>>568407598
I think the idea of kaioken being something that constantly damages you because that's how it works in videogames, so people assume that's how kaioken always works. When in reality it's either zero damage or it totally fucks your body, there is no tick damage like the games

>>568406392
>Goku is 10 times stronger than Vegeta during this fight
I do wonder what his napkin notes said specifically. Maybe both Toei and Toyotaro interpreted it as "Goku is 10x stronger than Vegeta" and not something else like "Goku fought 10x better than Vegeta". After all, Vegeta was fodderized in SSB, while Goku kept up with Hit in base form initially because he figured out Timeskip, so there's at least something there indicating Goku would fight better... If it was written Goku is 10x stronger though, then there's no way to fix it. Even having Goku be 10x stronger than Vegeta without a new form all of a sudden would look weird since Vegeta would have caught up by mid Black arc at the latest.
>>
>>568407783

Also I loved how the anime portrayed the aftershock with Goku's muscles just spasming and convulsing. I wish it portrayed damage like that more.

Anon, he was top tier. Great ult, good damage, and if you get close to him, he S3's and takes much less damage while getting away.

>>568420748
They said they'll change it "in six months time", (about 3 seasons) at the start of season 4, so the system will be changed/gone at the end of season 6 or so.

wonder if I should spend my star grades on getting Frieza now then... there might not be another tech even left for Season 6 or it might be the last released
>>
>>568422542
How much zeni do you have, and what's your current level? Maybe send a screenshot. If you're playing the game constantly you might have enough zeni to level up a bunch, if it's the level 190 though, then maybe not worth it.
>>
>>568423539
Already did a bit of the math Got 100k zeni almost on the dot, and it's the 109 while I'm at 78, so I need 31. I have 13 raw level ups available + a few extra from excess memories. +6 (Star Grade 3/4 is pretty easy to reach) from the Tier 3 and 2 is enough to reach the second Tier 3. Another +3 and I'll be at about 23 from my 31 goal, so I'd be grinding about 7 Grade 5s to hit Frieza. After that it's another 7 (10 - Frieza's easy first 3) to hit the next Tier 1.
>>
>>568424429
Also noticed something humorous
Since Uub was moved to 4 I can now only get him at Tier 148
>>
>>568424429
That's not too bad, it'll just make it rougher to get another character at level 119 in case anyone else interests you, although until then you'd likely have enough zeni for 10 level ups (3230 from Freeza + 17500 from getting 5 characters to level 5, assuming you don't have other level 4s left). Daily shop gives zeni often enough (Though they changed it so for it to give free memories on occasion). There's battle score too which gives 1000 per character (A tip I can give is to switch cards, as doing that gives a lot of points), the battle pass, and premium battle pass helps out a lot since it's an extra 50k, and once you're past level 50, it now loops from level 50 to 55, and it's 2000 zeni, though it is really grindy and you'll have to use rerolls on shitty missions ("Push characters Xm within tower" "Interrupt opponents attacking your tower with X characters" are the ones you should avoid like the plague.)
>>
>>568424779
>Since Uub was moved to 4 I can now only get him at Tier 148
Oh yes, the system still has these garbage moments. Something like that happened with a lot of people when Bojack was moved down to tier 4 too. Getting the weekly characters mitigates this at least. Uub was a free weekly character back in season 4 so I wouldn't expect him to be free again so soon (Although, it can happen.Kale, Cell and Hit all had a rerun on being free characters). I would recomment you to at least check the game when a new season starts, every season start so far they made a tier 1 character free. (Won't happen with season 5 characters so soon. This season's free character was from season 3, so next season will be Godku/Godgeta/Pure Buu. I personally believe it'll be Godku).
>>
>>568425706
Yeah I just came back at the literal tail end of Season 4 lmao
I don't even like nor want Uub either, it's just extremely funny he's probably being locked for me until the end of Star Grade, and that's maybe
Anyway yeah I think I'll try and grab Frieza

I'd make 100% MAX Power a temporary transformation ult like Hope Sword that can be used by any race and stacked on top of any form. Using it while super saiyan gives you the darker shade of yellow. It will make you look super deformed in most outfits and you just have to live with that.
But I would include some kind of universal, unrelated mechanic that lets you have your character explode out of the top half of their outfit when entering burst mode. So you could combine them to get the full Roshi experience
I wouldn't bother with the lower ones that don't make you slower except as super souls or some equivalent that just modifies your regular super saiyan awakening

This looks extremely OOC for Dragon Ball, but it's neither the first nor the last time Multiverse does that so whatever.
I'm feeling this might be their take on Demigra? And the female he's referring to might be Chronoa?
Hopefully not, because this looks retarded and I kinda liked Demigra (base form, not the transformation).

Between FighterZ, Xenoverse 2, and Sparking Zero, how would you rank them from easiest to hardest to git gud at in PVP?
>>
>>568451897
when they first announced the game 5 years ago they said it was gonna be a "more mature" game (even though the games are already "mature" enough, there's constantly talk about death, loss of loved ones etc. I remember even the builders spinoff, aka the minecraft like game clearly targeted to kids, had you literally bury dead people, what's more mature than that? doing taxes?)
now they reannounced the game cause the original project clearly wasn't working out, but it's not like we really know what's different given the original announcement was literally just a logo. We can assume it's pretty different cause they changed the subtitle of the game, but even then it could mean anything and nothing
>>
>>568452682
If we consider maturity dealing with the loss of loved ones and death basically any kids cartoon that isn't geared towards actual preschoolers is maximally mature. It always weirds me out when people go "and people say this was for KIDS and vaugely gesture at dark things happening as if all things aimed at the 13-17 demographic don't do that

Which like, pot meet kettle and all, but that aside Goku has 100% full confidence that Gohan can beat Cell. Remember that Gohan is straight up just stronger than Goku is, like just in his base super saiyan form.

Pic related, it's before Piccolo's speech (which was wrong btw, Gohan wasn't questioning his role or something, he just didn't have a switch for his rage)
He looks confident but you can tell he's actually pretty nervous below the facade. He's putting Gohan through the ringer and it's the only way they have forward, and while he believes in his son it's such a dangerous task with little chances that it's hard.
>>
>>568679470
DESU I really think the angle piccolo should be coming from here is that Gohan's rage has been largely useless so far. Goku's mostly been incapacitated when Gohan used it but every single time Gohan uses it he gets to at best match the threat for a couple seconds and immediately gasses out, this should be a terrible plan given how his rage has actually worked so far
>>
>>568679612
If you really wanted to "explain" it and draw the mechanics, you could say Goku making Super Saiyan the "normal" state is because then Gohan would be neutral and could rage on top of it to achieve a Super Saiyan^2

In universe I think it's just written off as "muh potential"
>>
>>568679725
Well yeah but even if that were true piccolo wouldn't know that, he'd just see Goku sending Gohan out on a super unreliable powerup that has to this point never actually worked once. I'm not talking about the literal mechanics of how ss2 works I just feel that's a better angle to attack Goku's plan from and makes piccolo look like less of a hypocrite. That being said I really question why Piccolo never just walked up to Goku and asked about the plan before the cell games, it would at least be peace of mind.
>>
It's also kind of weird because this happens a second time up in Buu saga with the Super Spirit bomb. Vegeta has seen that thing fail firsthand and should have no idea how it even works and no reason to assume that it SHOULD work but just kinda instantly comes up with a whole plan around it somehow
>>
>>568679860
I guess he'd just answer "don't worry about it". But yeah in a general sense you shouldn't take Dragon Ball with the same rational, risk assessment mind as you would real life, or a fiction with stricter rules.
>>
>>568680732
Goku wouldn't really have any reason to lie about it to piccolo, though. Even if you assume he wanted to keep Gohan in the dark for emotional reasons I feel like piccolo wouldn't find it so unreasonable if you didn't just drop it on him in a fight to a death.
>>
>>568679470
>it's before Piccolo's speech
Piccolo was just projecting his own Saiyan Saga fuck up and it's unreal that people don't notice it. He think it's like when Gohan froze against the Saiyans.
>>
>>568680883
>I feel like piccolo wouldn't find it so unreasonable if you didn't just drop it on him in a fight to a death.
Gohan showed up knowing and expecting to fight and Cell wasn't gonna spare anyone.
The only 'surprise' was Gohan because the last hope instead of Goku because he hadn't realized how hard he had surpassed his dad.
Gohan having to fight was NOT a surprise or unplanned.
>>
>>568681053
That's a very interesting interpretation here. Well I don't think anyone is 100% wrong here, it's true that maybe Goku thought Gohan liked fighting a bit more than he does as an extension of himself (it's thematically very sound) but I doubt this is the choke point, the issue or really the subject of those moments. Piccolo's speech resonates with Gohan wanting Cell to stop fighting and call it a day but not with Gohan having balls, as shown on Namek (him killing soldiers, trying to kill Frieza...).

There's probably a lot to unpack here, between Goku, Gohan and Piccolo.
>>
>>568681223
Goku, Gohan and Piccolo are all supposed to have missed something about the situation, which is what make Cell have the upperhand until 16's death finally make everything fit together and Gohan snap IMO.
>>
>>568681163
Obviously Gohan was going to have to fight if Goku dies or something, yeah that's just obvious, everyone would have to fight by that point.but that's not really the same thing as what the plan was which was for goku to give up and just have Gohan fight, which is an entirely different thing.
>>
>>568681223
>>568681338
TLDR: Goku was OVERLY confident and proud of Gohan. Piccolo noticed something wasn't working but misidentified the issue and Gohan didn't notice Goku couldn't keep up with him and was afraid of his own unleashed rage, which he also had a point about with how it provided Cell an opportunity to turn thing around.
>>
>>568681409
Basically Goku giving up means he broadcasts to everyone Gohan has surpassed him. Seeing this rather than him outright losing the fight by continuing is a show of pride and fatherhood
>>
>>568681490
>Piccolo noticed something wasn't working but misidentified the issue
This. That's why a lot of people think Piccolo is 100% right in his speech, because he's RIGHT there is an issue right there (Gohan can't just go MONKE on command) but it has nothing to do with pacifism (Gohan's speech is misleading these readers) or not liking fighting (Piccolo's speech misinterprets the issue)
>>
>>568681338
I mean in all honesty it's a very bizzare setup that feels like it only works in the meta perspective of toriyama wanting Gohan to be the twist hero. We can sit here and argue all day about why Goku did what he did but in reality the story just gives no particular reason whatsoever and just rolls with it.
>>568681490
Gohan being afraid of his rage always felt like bullshit, it's never been something he's failed to control and it's always been something that fails to do anything meaningful. It gives him a couple seconds of a short boost then completely leaves him vulnerable
>>
>>568681579
I don't really think I buy this interpretation because Piccolo has always been characterized as one of the smartest and most observant characters in the whole series, and even then he's able to straight up convince Goku that he's wrong as well. It never came off as Piccolo being wrong to the readers at all

I mean Piccolo was making an entirely reasonable assertation given the information he had.

>>
>>568682050
I'm talking about the final Kamehameha here. Generally speaking I think Piccolo is making decent points and he's a very important uncle figure for Gohan but at that point in time Goku was the one making things happen for Gohan
>>
literally all Goku had to say was "Piccolo I know his anger is key to breaking the super saiyan barrier, I saw it in the time chamber" and that would be that, that's literally all he had to say, it's not that hard.
>>
>>568682208
It wouldn't fix the situation. The issue is that Gohan is a 9 years old having to fight a deathmatch where the lives of everyone he loves rely on him and him alone, and the only key to win is to unlock some esoteric rage power on command, which might have happened in the chamber but it doesn't undo all of that factor

Nobody wanted Gohan to be forced through that basically
>>
>>568682450
No one really had a choice in the matter and it kind of wasn't up to them. Besides it's really way too fucking late to try and moralize about sending your nine year olds into death matches after you trained him to fight the saiyans, fight in namek, and trained him to fight in the androids and he was 100% on board with the latter two
>>
>>568682663
He was never the one bringing up the rear with all hopes being entrusted to him. Not in this way
>>
>>568682801
That's not really what Gohan nor Piccolo are actually saying though. Both of them are directly unambiguously saying that this is because Gohan never liked fighting and doesn't want to kill anyone. You can rationalize it as them both actually meaning something entirely different but I kind of doubt that. Toriyama doesn't really do extreme character nuance mostly just what's stated in the text is kind of just how it is, given how he's writing this by the seat of his pants
>>

You know, from the way that Goku is shocked here from Piccolo bringing up that he never told Gohan the plan I genuinely wonder if the intended interpretation is that Goku was just so confident he either forgot about it or didn't even think he needed to. Like there was no deeper nuance or plan here he just got overconfident in gohan
>>
the real reason Goku threw Gohan into Cell's meat grinder is because Toriyama couldn't think of a better way to instigate Gohan's rage and have Goku fight Cell beforehand. it was a quick and easy way to get Gohanb into the fight, and everything else is post-hoc justification
>>
>>568683658
It's really funny to me that we're sitting here defending the narrative intent of an arc that has Android 16, a character gohan has never met and has zero attachment to, give Gohan a rousing speech to make him learn a lesson that saiyan saga already taught him
>>
>>568683785
If you have an issue with Android 16 being the last straw then you're lacking media literacy. Yes the Cell arc is written by the seat of Toriyama's pants but this part is good and Gohan was already on the verge of transforming before 16
>>
>>568684194
Anon, Android 16 is clearly supposed to be the big emotional climax of the scene and it kind of falls flat because of the issues listed above: Gohan has nothing to do with 16 as a character and everything 16 has said is something Gohan really should know by this point. All it really does is make you realize that for Gohan being the whole twist protagonist of this arc he's done basically nothing in it. Even Goku at least has his short fight against android 19 and spurred on the time chamber stuff, Gohan's just been entirely irrelevant until just about two chapters ago. All that aside, it really does basically highlight that I think that what the anons are saying about Piccolo's speech actually being projecting and largely untrue are actually incorrect. Given Gohan outright says it, Piccolo outright says it, and android 16 outright says it, i'm fairly sure you're supposed to take it at face value that Gohan doesn't like fighting and that android 16 says that there are good things to fight for. Which isn't something that Gohan should need to learn

>supposed to be the big emotional climax of the scene
He is, but Gohan was already about to get there. It'd have happened if Krillin died. Or anyone else.

>Gohan has nothing to do with 16 as a character
16 is just a nice embodiment of the peaceful innocent Gohan is and wants to protect. Gohan doesn't need to have met 16 before to make this any more true, in fact it would only take away from this.

>Given Gohan outright says it, Piccolo outright says it, and android 16 outright says it
Not really actually. Gohan says once "hey, let's not fight", but later he says "well I'm TRYING but I can't do it on command". Piccolo doesn't say "he's a pacifist", he says "Gohan's a kid and doesn't know where he is and what he should do". Android 16 tells Gohan to unleash his rage and that fighting the wicked isn't a sin, but that's also a natural dialogue line to say in this context. Yes, you can argue the scene is kind of hinting it was actually the pacifism thing because of that 16 line, but then again Gohan's lines (and pic related) show that it wasn't just that and contradict this theory.
>>
Also on the topic of android 16, the stuff about him being a copy of Gero's son is never actually explained anywhere in the text, right? That's like interview or daizenshuu stuff, right
>>
Gohan has no particularly pacifistic tendencies before the Cell Games. On Namek he was all too happy to start fights to the point of coming off as a hothead.
>>
>>568685153
>happy to start
I wouldn't go that far but yeah he was willing to kill. I can still buy him trying to talk to Cell but I wouldn't want this to be about "pacifism".
>>
>>568684854
I mean, I dunno, anon. Walking up to the guy who literally just backhanded you through a wall and monologing to him about your rage powers and how you dont like fighting came off as extremely stilted to me. Like why the fuck is Gohan talking about this to cell what is he doing? It felt like kind of forced exposition because this kind of thing doesn't really come naturally with how Gohan was characterized during cell saga and androids

Like I said I'd have issues if it was a deliberate prolonged Undertale attempt at sparing, but the way the scene is written doesn't bug me, it feels more like Gohan is vocalizing his own thoughts as he assesses the situation. There are visual cues he's kind of nervous with the sweat drops, so I can see it happen organically. Also Gohan fights back right after that.
>>
>>568684854
Is there any real precedent to believe that android 16's speech is supposed to be incorrect or not actually representative of what Gohan's going through, though? When Toriyama has a good guy do a speech like with Roshi after the 23rd budokai, Goku to frieza at the end of namek, or even Vegeta at the end of buu saga it's basically the character turning to the camera and explaining the themes directly to the viewer. Why am I supposed to believe that just for this specific case that 16 is just talking out of his ass

Also 16's speech isn't 100% about "it's okay to fight baddies". The second panel in particular provides a pretty different perspective on this Gohan SS2 thing, especially given how sadistic and bloodlusted he becomes, explaining his fear
>>
Can we at least agree that Goku's farewell at the end of cell saga was a bit poorly handled in the manga? He just kind of explains his reasoning in two pages, doesn't let anyone talk back to him or try to talk him down, and he's gone instantly. Gohan doesn't even really get to say goodbye he's just gone
>>
>>568681607
>it's never been something he's failed to control and it's always been something that fails to do anything meaningful.
The narrative is that it always failed BECAUSE Gohan never just let it go and wielded it, which is why he'd swing once and peter out.

Bulma just couldn't stop herself from spewing some retarded theory and Goku took it too seriously. That's why the Buu saga quietly dropped it.
>>
>>568686401
>The goodbye is powerful and emotional and passes the torch well
ehh i'd actually say that was done better by the father son kamehameha. The actual goodbye scene is Goku just kind of dumping a bunch of bullshit on Gohan and leaving instantly, it's kind of more confusing than emotional. Though, I'd argue that Gohan has kind of proven himself not ready to take over the mantle of protector yet, he kind of had to be handholded and bailed out constantly during the cell fight. You can argue that Goku got bailed out of his fights like with him being incapacitated after great ape vegeta but that should just be even more of an argument for Goku to stick around and provide support for Gohan.

On that note, if Gohan was really going to be the next protector after Goku, I think Gohan really should've been able to lock in himself after the death of Goku. He really doesn't feel like protagonist material after he instantaneously gives up the second his arm is broken. Like the father son kamehameha moment is super iconic and I wouldn't change it for the world, but it really puts a damper on the idea of Gohan actually being the next protagonist

I finally actually started watching DBZ for the first time and I am fucking amazed how little that final attack Vegeta does on Frieza on Namek shows up in other media. That might be the most fucking insane looking attack at that point in the series judging from the explosion being hundreds of times bigger than Namek itself.

I guess being a failed attack that immediately leads into Vegeta getting absolutely destroyed is why it rarely shows up but goddamn it looks cool as fuck.
>>
>>568747107
yeah, the anime really oversold just how strong these fuckers are supposed to be which lead to a lot of problems that still plague the franchise eto this day, namely that one time they acted like Goku was running when using Instant Transmission rather than just straight up teleportation, huh, now that I think about it not only did that only happen once but way to fucking many villains starting being able to copy instant transmission just by seeing it starting with Cell, he saw it once, when Goku did it to slam a full powered kamehameha into his face, Kid Buu did it after seeing him leave earth, but in Super at least in the anime only Goku Black learned how to do it by seeing Goku use it and in the manga only Gas learned to do it by seeing Goku do it but he wasn't as skilled at it which lead to several pages of Gas being made a fool of until Goku lured him too far to instant transmission back so he had to fly back like Jiren was alleged to have done in his introduction in both the anime and manga, you know what always got me that there's not really an excuse for how Buu and Gas could copy by observing while Freiza and Vegeta have witnessed it countless times yet never once thought to try it and Vegeta needed a whole training arc to do it correctly once and vow never to do it again.

OH, even the non canon Android 21 learned it just seeing it once!, wait, plot hole, how did Goku managed to do it to get to the world of the kais? it's at the edge of the universe he even did it to get to king kai's planet which isn't even in their dimension

Buu copies stuff after seeing it, that's where the "Vegeta's technique" meme comes from.
>Frieza and Vegeta have witnessed it countless times yet never once thought to try it
It's not like Vegeta copies anything else like the Kamehameha, other than the Destructo Disc. He usually makes his own moves.
Frieza... I don't know, I guess he just doesn't care about Goku's monkey business.

>>568753875

He actually saw it a lot.
>When Goku teleported to save Tien
>Teleported again to Piccolo
>Teleported both of them away
>Teleported in the Cell arena after Cell was done with it (Although, Cell didn't see Goku teleporting in that case, as he had his back turned to Goku)
>Teleported away
>Teleported behind him after Cell used a Kamehameha
>Warp Kamehameha
>Teleported to Kaio's planet
Goku used IT around 8 times, and Cell saw it no less than 7 times (And it's only 7 if you don't want to count when he wasn't looking when Goku teleported to his arena).

>Kid Buu did it after seeing him leave earth
He actually saw Kibito's teleportation, which might be even harder to do. Weirdly enough fat Buu did see Goku using IT but didn't copy it (Although, Piccolo says "This one can sense ki!" when talking about Super Buu, so seemingly Fat Buu can't sense ki).

>and in the manga only Gas learned to do it by seeing Goku do it
IIRC Granola could do it too. "Strongest in the universe" wish just randomly gave the characters new powers (Granola copied Moro's lava attack and could use Hakai too).

>Frieza... I don't know, I guess he just doesn't care about Goku's monkey business.
He never showed interest in copying techniques so it's not too surprising he didn't bother.

The androids/ cell arc stuff is mostly for giga chads who enjoyed the series when they were young.
The jacked ass transformations of grades 2 & 3 are absolute kino.
Best attacks too, big bang attack on 19, father son kamehameha against cell, final flash against cell, warp kamehameha, piccolo vs 17, tiens tribeam against cell. Soo much kino.
Ptsd riddled trunks is fucking dope as fuck too. Anyone whose seen combat overseas knows why trunks doesnt play games.

Yes, the cell arc is the best in all of dragon ball. Its the middle core of the series. Fighting ai and terminator inspired androids will never not be testosterone fueled kino.

The "issue", if you can even really call it that, is people overthink it and get angry from short circuiting. Like most of the franchise, really.

Case in point.
>Why didn't they just wish to go to Gero's Lab and kill him off?
Would be a complete waste of a wish, considering they just axed Frieza and there could easily be more Red Ribbon Bases they missed in the 10 years since dismantling them as shown in Super Hero.
>>
>>568820738
Nah, "overthinking doesn't make the arc bad" applies to stuff like Namek "why didn't they teleport back to Earth with the wishes / why the FUCK did they agree to teleport Piccolo on Namek holy shit". The issue with Cell is that if you read it again you'll see the fights are considerably smaller scale and quite a bit lamer than Saiyans/Namek/Buu (yes, even Buu actually) and the arc story relies far too much on "A beats B, B powers up, beats A, C beats B, B powers up, beats C....". Also the cast is lame here somehow, it doesn't have the grit of Saiyans/Namek (remember when Krillin and Gohan blasted last Freeza form?) or the cool moments (and smaller cast) of Buu

Dragon Ball Z, at its core is just the Androids & Cell and that entire arc.
Saiyans/ Frieza is basically a prequel arc and buu is a crappy sequel arc.

If you watch the original dragon ball, youre probably gay. Which is fine, but like it is what it is.
No im not gonna watch the red ribbon army arc to get a better understanding of the android/ cell arc. Im gonna be a man and gain all my knowledge about it through flashbacks and exposition that roshi gives to maron when she comes crawling back to krillin but hes off fighting the androids. And thats all a man needs. And if you need more then that, I really dont know what to tell you. I'm not gonna larp and pretend like dr.

The beautiful thing about this roster is its layout. 6x6 for a nice total of 36 characters. Despite being smaller then most modern rosters it allows for a pretty comprehensive story mode from the hero and villain perspective. Cyborg Tao is a neat little nod to the ten day filler arc before the cell games. He fights some jobber, so it could be cool to beat up that npc as tao. Here's a good example of less is more, because Frieza doesnt have all his forms presumably, King Cold, could in theory just adopt Second Form Frieza's traditional moveset and feel more robust as his own character instead of swinging Trunks sword aimlessly. The race of hera being entirely playable would be neat, it adds a cool anagram or parallel to the Saiyans in a sense. Last of their race, have super forms. And theyre sorta just cool because theyre essentially Makaioshin before that concept really came into existence. This game could be really cool if it had a higher rating like M and was really grity.
>>
if the xenoverse 3 game has more than earthlings and saiyans, how do you imagine they balance out the other races? Humans, Namkikans, Freizas, Majins and Glinds or are glinds only the kai folks and people like panzy, glorio etc are another race of demon?

NTA but I kinda would like a Hera CaC, they have a nice balance of 'non-human features' coolness and 'simplicity' in their designs and transformation. So it's neither overdesigned nor bland.
>>
>>568882161
I like henchmen, they make story mode longer in video games if you can actually play as them or against them. Its like youre actually playing out the battles of the movies when theyre included. A lot, if not most henchmen typically have a novelty gimmick or ability that would them somewhat different or interesting. Their similarities to Saiyans arent vast, but theyre are some. A warrior race dwindled down to a small handful, and has the ability to transform into a super saiyan-like form. Hair changes color. Thats about where the similarities start and stop though. But its enough. If you dont like henchmen, okay dont like them. Doesnt prevent others liking, enjoying, or thinking theyre cool.
>>
I honestly really just don't get the premise of making a cell saga fighting game? It's a period of time we've already seen covered by countless games a billion of different times over by now to the point where there's not much left to say about it. I can see it working for something like attack of the saiyans or legacy of goku where you're going through a bunch of wacky rpg antics. But given you're having to scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel for that roster list I genuinely don't understand what the appeal is other than "cell saga cool"
>>
>>568882728
Nothing about that post said that I unilaterally hate henchmen or something, anon. Bojack's henchmen are simply a complete nothingburger even among movie villians, they have nothing on the armored squadron or the crusher corps. The only reason anyone remembers they exist in the first place is Zangya being hot.

I don't get the obsession with rosters in general for DB games, it's like people can't even think of a game outside rosterfagging, let alone types of games without a roster.
>>
>>568883231
to me the most important thing about putting a character in a fighting game is their moveset potential, it's why Gotenks or the buus tend to almost always be in these games, they have an absolute ton of stuff to work with to make an imaginative moveset. Sure you can always make stuff up but then you're basically making up a complete OC character

>>568882787

anon the vast majority of the characters on that list are already in videogames, multiple of them in fact.

>>
>>568883672
Anon I genuinely have nothing against Henchmen, they allow the smaller guys to have something to do in movies and allow for some fun stuff, like Roshi against the three rando dudes from world's strongest. I just think Bojack's minions are some of the weakest of any movie villians. Aside from the one that dies to trunks their fights kind of suck and consist of instantly deleting the z fighters or getting oneshot by goku. Or Bojack in the case of Zangya I guess since they didn't want Gohan to kill a girl. Granted I do admit that they have some stronger character designs than most movie villian henchmen in the sense that they're not butt ugly like most are.

The superiority of the cell arc is it basically abandons all the shonen standards of a mandatory youthful character to appeal to kids. The frieza arc had gohan, and buu has trunks & goten. Theres a much more serious tone, borderline horor with imperfect cell. The arc even opens up with frieza sliced to bits. Buu arc never comes close to the level of violence, or intensity. Frieza arc had nappa disarming tein and krillin getting impaled, and maybe you can count goku getting beam canoned.

Wow, youre really making a compelling point that these random mooks and henchmen have sort of compelling abilities that arent really seen with other characters and would perhaps make them an interesting moveset in a video game.

>>568888924
the freezing telekenesis thing is something frieza does as well, anon. Granted, it's not with wires. Either way that's not really enough to make a moveset with

It drains energy.
Takes out super saiyan.
Potential puppeteering.
Its great, you lack imagination.

I bet you haven't read or watched more than 3 shonen from that time period. How else could you have stated something so stupid with such confidence?

Anime is gay.

I mean... they were imprisoned by the Kais before.
>>
>>568889761
True, but for whatever reason it seemed like king kai was in absolutely no rush to do anything about bojack this time around. Like yeah he's dead, granted. But you'd assume he would bring that up back when they had the dragonballs active after the end of cell saga

They were imprisoned inside a star by the kais but when King Kai died because of Goku teleporting cell, the seal broke, and the pirates escaped their prison.

King Kai, let you remember this day as the day you almost imprisoned Captain Bojack Sparrow.
>>
>>568888924
My whole point was that they're bland and you have to scrap the bottom of the barrel to remember anything about them as characters, but that got sidetracked. They have interchangeable personalities and powers, and imo, the most standout thing they do is how much they fight dirty and gangup on everyone. Thinking of it, like >>568889054 said, their telekinesis is a different application of Freeza's, and weakening those grabbed by is similar to 19/Gero/Cell absorption, and years down the line, Moro gets a longer version of the latter with actual energy stealing. Bojack himself also does fuckall. Bojack Unbound's villains are really unremarkable imo.
>>
lmao i know actual transformers manga both more edgy and with more naked young girls than the cell arc could ever have
>>
>>568889926
Makes me wonder if Bojack was waging war with the Kais directly, like Hearts.

I think youre just racist against Heran's and their green skin, and looking for any excuse not to include them on a game roster in favor of more green eyed blonde characters.

>>568890172
No? King kai says he was a thug just going around wrecking all the galaxies and trying to destroy them. Also they weren't sealed in a star they were sealed in King Kai's planet, which Goku destroyed

Salagir, calm your hairy French ass down.

>>568890282
I know, but if you were to expand the story it could be interesting. As they clearly have no noble intentions. They just somehow managed to reach the other world and decided to ransack it.

Anon I quite literally had the movie open in another tab to cross check it, Kaio specifically says he trapped him in a planet at the edge of the galaxy, and that the destruction of his kaio world and his death broke the seal, implying said world was kaio's world.
>>
>>568890603
Yeah destroying king kais planet broke the spell/ seal. They werent contained in the actual planet u goober.
>>
>>568890727
even if you don't buy that specific world isn't kaios world, it's still straight up just not a star like you said it was

Youre an ass hat, theres literal dialogue that states he was sealed in the heart of a star or some shit, I aint gonna spoon feed you the entire lore. Watch the damn thing.
Also Daizenshuu 7
"Long ago he rampaged through the 4 galaxies (north, south, east, and west), and so was sealed away by the 4 Kaios. Due to Kaio’s planet being wiped out by Cell’s self-destruction, and the North Kaio dying, his seal was lifted and he was resurrected."

This states on a planet, not in one.
And says far reaches of the galaxy, not otherworld.
So clearly its for certain not INSIDE King Kais planet.
