Here's a reminder of the latest XV3 news in V-Jump
>>
Trailer today?
>>
>>571028192
I dunno, are thrusday trailers normal?
>>
>>571028192
Should be soon.
>>
trailer for what?
>>
>>571029087
Probably either Sparking Zero Neo or XV2's final DLC. It is summer after all.
>>
>>571029087
>>571029149
We're speculating a new trailer for XV3 because these days they don't let V-Jump be the only source to reveal new things, and what we have is a leak.
>>
>>571027857
>Battle Style
If XV2's servers was already full of copies of the official characters, just imagine what it'll be like now that you can assign them their own fighting styles...
>>
>>571030403
Assuming the same roster as XV2 (lol), I wonder which character would have their combo strings copied the most
Probably Hit
>>
Chi Chi rolling up to Yamcha with that outfit only for him to tell her "I'm not a pedophile" is one of Toriyama's best moments.

>>
What's the appeal of Zangya?
>>
>>571042010
Well, she's a woman in a series that doesn't have a lot of women in semi prominent roles. Same reason that Seripa is moderately popular

Maybe as DLC because so far this game is all about the future. And the first known character model we see is Future Trunks.

That's what Superku would do. Zku gave him time to train and prepare himself.
>>
>>571067415
I mean, the point was never to fight uub in the first place it was to pick him up and train him, so it doesn't really matter when Goku decides to do that he just arbitrarily just made uub walk his ass all the way from his village to papaya island just so he can take him away
>>
>>571067574
He wanted to train him through fighting but forgot he couldn't fly lol
>>
>>571067970
In goku's defense, everyone since the 22nd budokai aside from Goten just knows how to fly natively. If anything it's weirder than uub doesn't know how to fly
>>
>>571066798
Kirano was trained by the strongest human btw.
>>
Could any character left in the NEO dlc be a surprise at this point? Mighty Mask, Tora, Kid Uub and Chilled on the previous trailer completely blindsided me, didn't have any of them in consideration, but now that the bar has been set I feel like next trailer could show something like Farmer with Shotgun, Pirate Robot or any of the lesser GT dragons and it wouldn't feel surprising.
>>
>>571069086
It depends on whether or not they bring back Arale. If she returns, probably expect a second guest character, like Beelzebub.
>>

Another game content, like #21 or Xeno Trunks. Otherwise, yeah, with the DLC being so stretched, anyone else will fit in at this point.
>>
>>571069086
There's a good chunk of characters they could add, there's still a few missing from BT3, and maybe they could even add the few RB2 exclusives too. Could Tarble win against Chi-Chi?

>>571065494
Maybe OG KidKu and King Piccolo, otherwise don't count on it. Iirc, Nips don't really care for the first part of DB.

Humans are the same way. There is an upper limit to how long a given hair follicle of yours can grow before it breaks off, and for most people that's around shoulder length. Having follicles strong enough to withstand being grown down past your butt is super rare outside of cultures that selectively bred for those genes

The hype is precisely because it has never been done before outside that one, for 37 years that was the only instance of an old Goku and no media ever touched the design, now the guy who took over the mantle of drawing DB manga turned that small cute panel into a detailed full art talking about how eternal DB is and Toriyama who sadly is no longer among us, of course people will be moved.

I just noticed something really cool about Goku having white hair from old age is that you couldn't tell if he's using UI or not other than by looking at his eyes and you couldn't even separate Sign from full UI, basically you would have old man Goku and the moment his eyes change you don't know if you are fighting a refined angelic warrior or a crazy heavenly monkey

To be fair I feel like Salagir feels like he wrote himself into a corner with Zen buu.

>Now: This piece was done when I was experimenting with colors to draw mascot-esque characters. These characters I drew back then were ones I thought would work great on merch.

>The player character will pick up battle styles from a variety of different races to pursue their own unique style"

What an interesting way of saying that

In the og teaser we see
Piccolo
Final Form Freiza
Future Trunks
Perfect Cell
Kid Buu
Beerus
Super era Broly
Adult Gohan
Vegeta
Goku

when they mean learning do they mean the mentor system will return? are we learning their normal attacks as well, I don't see how another race can do the things Freiza, Beerus and Kid Buu can do in their normals seeing how two of them have tails and 1 of them morps their body around, only another majin could copy that combat style, I'm not even sure Majin Kuu even did any of the things Duu, Buu and the non canon Android 21 were doing with their bodies.

there's the other things on this I'm curious about as well, you have awakenings and soul changes to use in a fight do you have to choose betwen one or the other or are you using both? Awakenings are tied to your ki and can be used as many times as you want, will soul change be the same way or will it have a different meter you have to fill up during the fight, on top of that if the character you use has transformations and you turn into that character can you use those transformations or will there be soul change equipment entirely on that transformation alone?

the soul assist seems pretty simple, assuming it's the same as xenoverse 1 where once you master a skill a little ghost of the CAC the move belongs to appears by your side to power up that attack, through from what I remembered this only happens when using ultimate attacks like super galic gun or super kamehameha or special beam cannon

What's critical break? guard penetration sounds like stamina break it is an aggressive version of that clash mini scene you get in sparking zero for parrying?

it doesn't look like beam clashes are in this game unless that's what ki crusher is they need a trailer to explain this because I have a few ideas but nothing solid
>>
This probably means nothing but I noticed in the animated part where they call Brett to a scene, John and Jane are already dressed up for combat and are at different locations in the city, Gamma 1 looks to be at the glaciers going by the montains in his background yet when Brett arrives John arrives after him, wouldn't John be there first?

Despite aping the Superman archetype, the Great Saiyaman persona can better be compared to Batman in the sense that it is crafted almost entirely out of those that have victimised Gohan rather than any positive ideal: the Saiyan name and battle armor have no association to him other than the now-sort-of-friend who destroyed his entire extended family in front of him, the hell that was Namek and the Cell Games and the so-called uncle who first took his father and any hope at a “normal” life away from him, the Sentai act is self-explanatory
It’s actually pretty funny in retrospect that you can interpret both Chi-Chi and Goku’s early parenting styles as a kind of corruption of the Turtle Hermit’s training style, as they are the heirs of his school: Chi-Chi with often directionless study that offered Gohan little idea of what it offered him, and Goku, though circumstances offered him little choice in the matter, in putting Gohan through trials so intense that he felt little identity outside of being the “protector”
I doubt this was nearly as intentional on Toriyama’s part as my structure may imply however
>>
>>571261147
You think its based off Ginyu Force or Gohan just happened to watch some Sentai episodes on his TV?
>>
I kinda wish Gohan or Goten as fighters would use some of their mothers moves, like I get why they don't they don't have the body type, Chi-Chi is a slender woman whose body moves like liquid when she fights, on top of that she's hyper aggressive and never stops attacking, even if you try to distance yourself she'll chase you down to continue the assault unless you actively push her away, that kinda style isn't that great against people who fly
>>
>>571236795
It's anime and she's 9 years old. A simple case of Bulma's libido passing on to her as well as just being the kind of bitch that male Saiyans like is all it takes.

If you could differentiate how Gohan and Goten fight compared to Goku what would you do?
>>
>>571279474
Gohan fights nothing like Goku except for Kamehameha. Goku is the smartest fighter in the series, Gohan is the most braindead.
>>
>>571280538
Now that you bring this up, it is sad how Gohan is the perfect example of how hard Z fell off. Can name the exact moment too, it was Gohan fighting Frieza. Granted it fit with their characters back then, but both times they squared off in canon Namek it was "ATATATATATATATA" followed by energy beams.
>>
>>571281460
Freeza, contrary to all his minions, actually can fight, he just doesn't unless the brute force doesn't work. He doesn't actually do anything but stat-checking people until Goku arrives.
>>
>>571281917
>>571281460
To continue, it's kinda the point that Freeza Force are no martial artists and rely almost entirely on power level or inborn powers. But Goku, Piccolo and Krillin actually do think and try to be creative most of the time. Even Vegeta does, though more in a street fighter manner than martial artist. Even as late as Goku vs. Cell you have a duel between seasoned and skilled masters.
>>
Toriyama stopped caring about battle chrography affter Freiza ,his very last one was Goku vs Vegeta before the great ape transformation, ever since those it was just beams and rapid fire back to back, and seeing how the animation Toei only seems to care about it for big fights almost all of Daima and Super is the same way, the only good chorgraph'd scene in Daima was Goku vs Tamagachi 3, the only good chrograph'd scene in Super is either the brief double fight of Goku blue and future trunks vs black and zamassu or Gogeta vs Broly
>>
>>571282286
DB is a Wuxia setting, you can't separate power from fighting skills in some form. The point was that the Freeza Force was stagnant and didn't believe in improving yourself and growing past what you're born as.
They're basically a sect that has hard rules about only taking in motherfuckers with Heavenly Constitution who just naturally grow up stronger than every other cultivator.

Like the Elder Kai said in Xenoverse 2, Frieza's a natural born warrior, if he were to train he'd be near unstopable, low and behold ,Black Freiza with no god ki or tutaliage from an angel or a god of destruction immediately surpassed Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta with one punch each and going by the final volume cover, he's naturally way stronger than Beast Gohan, Orange Piccolo and Legendary Super Saiyan controlled Broly god damn do I love his super hero design it's such a pity we won't see that actually fighting likely decades to come if at all with Toriyama dead and the story not going to move forward, we'll be lucky to see Granola finished in 2030 let alone the super hero epilogue chapters animated.

I'll be honestly with you: They were not gonna do anything with Black Freeza regardless. Toyotaro loves throwing stuff like that in his manga-only arcs that go nowhere and are never mentioned again.

18's especially bad, she was vaguely alright at one point but she's just gotten worse and worse as time goes on
we've already got a small pool of female characters to work with, one of them being arguably the worst damage choice isn't exactly helpful
>>
>>571298537
Cell's biggest problem was always his early game. The change of NPC spawns and Rider helper benefit the early game since he can survive and grind better. Once he goes Perfect he's a pretty good tank, and his ult can really fuck up one player since he can turn a 4vs4 into a 4vs1 while his arena is up (Although there are ways around it), and that can lead into a 4vs3. He also has a higher skill ceiling with something like dash behind someone into S2 for a back grab, something a lot of players won't do.

I think she's just a worse Trunks. But they're both glass cannon close quarter combatants which makes them a gamble combination, especially with Snowball rewarding DPS heavily for not dying.
>>
>>571318249
18's problem is that she's made around her stacks so much that if she can't get them, she's not hitting as hard, and she can only put stacks in one player at a time, which means she's basically useless in a team fight. All of that on top of her not being capable of putting stacks on bosses (Unlike say, Toppo) and she's really not gonna be useful overall. Dabura has a similar problem with his petrification. Trunks by comparison is just raw damage with no gimmicks.
>>
>>571318249
They are what in mobas are usually called assassins: very mobile short ranged glass cannons. Except in this game that's a shit archetype by default since invisible walls inherently favor ranged DPS (if SS3 goku is beaming you behind tower what can trunks/18 do? They literally can't get to him to kill him) and also teamfights are defined by fuckhuge AoE so their mobility usually means jackshit
>>571313607
Krillin is such a shit character. He's Teemo if his mushrooms had a super strict amount limit, if they could be shielded/avoided after triggering them rather than explode instantly, if they could be destroyed while invisible and also be instantly destroyed by any damage that touches them. How the fuck did they ever expect this character to function against anyone who isn't a bot?

I really wanted to believe in trailer hype, I wonder whatnext months VJUMP will tell us about xenoverse 3, probably different race, no shot they actually ditch that concept, I'm actually curious what if any awakenings they show for each race will be different for Namkikans, Humans, Demons and Majins, the new battle system doesn't seem to support Turn Giant, Power Pole Pro and Pure Majin anymore, Pure Majin is pretty much a jank version of the new Soul/Transphere like system they have now, Power pole pro seems like a battle style type of thing now under this system, the only I can imagine returning is Turn giant since saiyans with tails are a thing again, they might get that great ape awakening they've been yearning for since xenoverse 1

Salagir himself claimed SS1 Vegetto was THOUSANDS OF TIMES stronger than Buuhan, and in Multiverse, SS2 is a 500x from base, 10x from SS1. Somehow Buu managed to get thousands of times stronger without training, just absorbing, and the story even shows he doesn't absorb people for their power in general, just weird talents unrelated to fighting... And then there's Gast, who's weaker than base Vegetto, yet, he can turn off his SS3...

Even if you were to not take this line literally, Vegeto (base) is still about Gohan level and Buu Gohan (with Goku and Vegeta on top of that) would be like... 2 or 3 Gohans worth.

Meaning SS2 Vegeto would be 500 Gohans and Buu would have gotten 200 times stronger somehow.

Cell can actually get to Gohan tier as well. But Goku and Vegeta cap below Gohan and need 20 years to even get anywhere close to his level.

DBMfags REALLY love to pretend their powerlevels make any kind of sense when it just doesn't.

Also nevermind powerlevels, what about the characters? Look at this fucking panel holy shit. Why is Uub so friendly with Buu who basically ate all of Uub's new family, masters, friends? Disgusting.

>Even if you were to not take this line literally, Vegeto (base) is still about Gohan level and Buu Gohan (with Goku and Vegeta on top of that) would be like... 2 or 3 Gohans worth.
Without taking the line literally, it still doesn't work
>SS1 Vegetto > Buuhan
>Magic doesn't work well on SS1 Vegetto because he's too strong
>Gast = Gohan (According to novelization, he looks about equal to SS3 Evil Vegeta in the doujin)
>Buuhan > Gast
>Logically that means Gast can nulify SS3 Vegetto
Makes no sense. Somehow Salagir made Buu look like a massive wimp with this claim when he's anything but otherwise.

>Cell can actually get to Gohan tier as well. But Goku and Vegeta cap below Gohan and need 20 years to even get anywhere close to his level.
Cell is really weird because Salagir downplays the power of anyone who isn't his OCs, yet he grew this much in power by training... And he still needed to get zenkais to officially surpass Gohan.

>Why is Uub so friendly with Buu who basically ate all of Uub's new family, masters, friends? Disgusting.
Because Buu's MAGIC is much cooler than Goku, who's so lame he can't do DRAGON FIST.
>>
>>571364825
That's not even Bojack tho. That character they call Bojack is basically an OC in all the way that matters, from the personality to the backstory to how he fights.
So even their cope make no sense.

>>571364913
You could probably still go "well Gast's magic is more effective and it just werks there's no hard rule about it" but then he tries to write rules about it and they make no sense either

>Because Buu's MAGIC is much cooler than Goku, who's so lame he can't do DRAGON FIST.
Yeah that's the annoying part. And you just know Uub will be the one to defeat XXI while Goku maybe helps a little bit somewhere, probably not so much though. Just like how Vegeta lost in his own chapter for Bra to win for him because "IT MAKES SENSE SHE'S THE STRONGEST SHE HAD TO BE THERE"
>>
>>571363938
>Cell can actually get to Gohan tier as well. But Goku and Vegeta cap below Gohan and need 20 years to even get anywhere close to his level.
That's despite Gohan saying he wasn't the strongest in his universe (back when Salagir wasn't coping as much about the GT inspirations and Gohan was clearly set to become GT Gohan), which was retconned into 'he was lying / bluffing' despite said bluff accomplishing nothing and ultimately being pointless in the context of the story, especially since it'd be exposed sooner or later.
>>571364913
>yet he grew this much in power by training...
Despite Salagir saying training was limited and had a set cap forever.
>>
>>571365056
Lots of those characters don't 'need' it either and yet they still do it.
Yujiro doesn't need to be in Tekken, Ashura doesn't need to crossover with Baki, Rick and Morty and Superman didn't need to be in Fortnite. Goku didn't need to be in PUBG. The Xenomorph didn't need to be in Dead by Daylight and neither did Vecna etc.
>>
>>571365146
>which was retconned into 'he was lying / bluffing'
He actually put this "he was lying" quote in the page when Gohan said it first, this isn't a retcon, Salagir always wanted Goku and Vegeta to be little bitches who hardcapped long ago.
>>
>>571365076
>And you just know Uub will be the one to defeat XXI
Nope, it's gonna be the sacred warrior or whatever that the XXI backstory chapters insist is set to return. So another OC with Gast's help.

>>571365289

>>571365393

>>571365316
Meh, maybe she'll return, maybe not, but Uub will 100% play a big role, he's been teased with the Buu training, he's a big magic user, he's the only guy who'll actually get shit done while our obsolete heroes can just cheer
>>
>>571364954
>That character they call Bojack is basically an OC in all the way that matters
Any time Salagir puts focus on an established character he does that.
>Gast is Nail after fusing with all Namekians, yet he acts nothing like Nail (Who was an overly loyal guy) or Guru (Who's a peaceful, wise leader) or any other Namekian
>Ginyu in Cold's body has none of Ginyu's personality traits, and the little we see of Cold in other universes, he has the same personality as Ginyu-Cold, only with worse control of his own power
>Son Bra is the obvious one and the only one with a justification for a different personality. Still practically an OC to call her Bra when she doesn't even have the same father.
>Zen Buu is a quirky chaotic super powerful guy and has little of Super Buu's actual personality
>Raichi is more of an empty man who can never let go of his desire for revenge, has a very different power set (As in the game he couldn't actually copy the dead and their powers, just fakes to mess with them) and lacks Destron Gas. IMO he has the best personality since original Raichi was just a Gero ripoff
>Bardock is a super smart saiyan using his future visions to come up with plans to save the saiyan race (Although it backfires once Raichi arrives and copies Broly)
>Raditz from Emperor Vegeta's universe is a weakling who overcompensates by becoming more of a diplomat, and is decently skilled, when originally he was confident in his own power and relied on brute force
The only character I can think of who acts like himself in all of Multiverse is Babidi... And even him comes with an asterisk since you have to ignore that special where he was a complete retard for future Gohan to get a win.

>>571365076
>but then he tries to write rules about it and they make no sense either
That's what makes it worse. Salagir is one of those autists who thinks he made a complex power system and acting like he's smart for it, which makes the flaws all the more noticeable.

As a Nail enjoyer that makes me deeply sad. I think Nail is kind of overrated as a cool character and design. I get that the entire Namek people in one body would maybe use another name but it's still crazy that we get NO Nail mention whatsoever, nothing Nail-like, just nothing.

>Ginyu in Cold's body has none of Ginyu's personality traits, and the little we see of Cold in other universes, he has the same personality as Ginyu-Cold, only with worse control of his own power
Also this. Ginyu is way too goofy and whimsical and funny for Salagir's peabrain.

>Zen Buu is a quirky chaotic super powerful guy and has little of Super Buu's actual personality
One of the most egregious ones. I don't think I need to elaborate but he's really evocative of that one Salagir self insert character from his other webcomic, Geek's World.

>Bardock is a super smart saiyan using his future visions to come up with plans to save the saiyan race
Don't forget OG Bardock actually can't see the future and just dies without any of the OVA cool scenes. All because Salagir thought "maybe future sight is a bit too powerful for my DND power system, remove it!"

>Raditz from Emperor Vegeta's universe is a weakling who overcompensates by becoming more of a diplomat, and is decently skilled, when originally he was confident in his own power and relied on brute force

Most definitely. I didn't mean a good subversion. He could do something stupid like XXI's rampage somehow being part of Bardock's keikaku to get rid of him and Raichi, and they're both thrown in that black goo planet (Or a black goo universe). Or the heroes find an universe with a good XXI and he defeats the evil XXI... Only for the good XXI to eat the evil one and now he becomes the evil XXI only much stronger now. Something that makes you wonder if Salagir should drop Multiverse and go write for Netflix.

>I can't believe this happened too
That's line itself is already absurd for Gohan to say in general, and Main Gohan saying it too... At this point Gohan knows Vegeta can be trusted and would never take such a threatening tone... And even if he were to take such a threatening tone he wouldn't say it like that too.

Yeah, that's why I said that DB characters are irrelevant in it. When they get focus, it's just to reveal they were an OC all along.
Dude couldn't even be bothered to come up with alternate Gokus that weren't dead jobbers or a cringe underling for their uber wanked Vegeta OC.

>>571367409
>they're both thrown in that black goo planet
Honestly that could happen. Buu defeated by SCIENCE, XXI defeated by the black goo that even science couldn't remove. Did you like that ending?
>>
>>571367409
Nanomachine goop defeating everyone and everything (except magic, which just snap it away) is SUCH rationality nerd / sci fi redditor brained thing.
The universe being destroyed couldn't take down Broly but the goo one shotted him on contact.
>>
>>571367620
>Honestly that could happen
Nah cause the goo can be wished away. Salagir loves his magic rule lawyering that make him feel smart even more than he does science.
>>
>>571366764
>nothing Nail-like, just nothing.
Nail was just a means to an end unfortunately. They had an idea for a cool Namekian fusion, and decided to use Nail for it since he was the most powerful character to be the "base". IMO, Gast would make more sense if they made an actual OC who decided to go for such a desperate gamble because he saw Nail being killed. That way he's an actual OC, not an OC pretending to be Nail, and it would give a better reason for Gast to exist in other universes, since Nail is one of the last to die.

>Also this. Ginyu is way too goofy and whimsical and funny for Salagir's peabrain.
Not to mention too loyal to Freeza. Salagir had to change Freeza's personality to justify Ginyu's own change, and the justification is flimsy at best.

>but he's really evocative of that one Salagir self insert character from his other webcomic, Geek's World.
I had no idea he made another one. I do wonder how much brainrot that'd have without DB's setting (barely) holding him back.

>Don't forget OG Bardock actually can't see the future and just dies without any of the OVA cool scenes.
And the future sight is explicitly a curse, a point Salagir missed. The entire OVA's plot is that Bardock will see the future and be incapable of doing anything to change it.

>Crazy stuff, but once again you can see Salagir's fetish for INTELLIGENCE and KNOWLEDGE. Now we have DIPLOMATS.
Even this idea itself isn't so bad, but it's not something Raditz would do on his own. It would make a lot more sense if he enslaved someone into giving him diplomatic advice while Raditz takes the full credit for it, but even that kind of sliminess feels weird for Raditz to do.
>>
>>571367842
>but even that kind of sliminess feels weird for Raditz to do.
Raditz didn't have that kind of forethought or concern for anything beyond violently taking out his inferiority compared to other saiyans on. He was basically an Hokuto No Ken bandit, nothing more.
>>
>discussing left to right "manga"
>>
>>571368035
Exactly, that's why it felt weird. Raditz is a character who only sees power as something that matters, diplomacy for him is basically "Be stronger than your opposition". Multiverse Raditz (And a lot of its characters) is like fitting a triangle on a square shape.

I think Power Pole will become a Style like Trunk's Sword Style. So, I don't know what the third human option should be. Maybe go with Krillin's bullshit from that filler ep of Super? Beast could be made human exclusive. Gohan said he was training his human half exclusively from now on.

Frieza Clan can live with two. I see Frieza Black as his God Ki Form. Namekians don't really need Giant Orange. They also have Blue Eyes, but that's apparently their God Ki Form, according to that one mobile game.

Saiyans have a lot of bullshit that could be done better. We don't need Super Vegeta 1/2 or SSGSS 2 Evolved/Perfected. Super Vegeta can just be cut or rolled into SSJ and all the Red and Blue stuff can be under God Ki.

I really hope you can equip two Awoken Skills. I think being able to swap back and forth, or combine them, would add an interesting layer of complexity.

It's bizarre he got SS2 on his own too, and he got SS3 before Schizoku got 2. A post Namek Vegeta getting SS1 is already odd, but if he got it he would grow complacent if anything... And if he did have a reason to think he should go beyond SS1 (Maybe to kill Cold, or to have a massive leap over Schizoku), he would instead think the grade forms are good enough.

>is some of the funniest slander ever.
To make it all worse, Schizoku is treated like a jobber, and he's still stronger than Pan. Pan later claims 18 is too weak so she's at least above that level, but it still means Schizoku is way stronger than he logically should be for such a jobber, and he's still above Pan too. Bra gets to be a powerful hybrid who's Perfect Cell level in base form because she's Vegetto's daughter (Which means she's about as strong as SS1 Goku at worst), but Pan is the daughter of a Gohan who's still stronger than Goku and Vegeta, his powers didn't decrease, and she's been training since she was a toddler, and she's still so pitifully weak. Uub has a similar problem where he's way too weak for a Majin Buu reincarnation, so Multiverse Goku is a terrible teacher.

>But couple that with how everyone else in this webcomic seems to get super saiyan fairly easily it just makes her look like the biggest fraud ever
She's also the oldest hybrid who got super saiyan aside from maybe future Trunks. She's about 14, Goten was at most 7 when he got it, Trunks got it when he was at most 8, and Gohan got it when he was 9 or 10.

Uub is one of the most bizzare characters in multiverse.

Probably not given that SS3 Goku gave him a decent fight and DBM thinks Gohan is really THAT much above SS3 Goku. Well, he was stronger in the manga too but the way DBM describes it, you've got
>SS3 tier: Goku SS3 (Buu saga)

Multiverse is really odd because some of the characters are supposed to be stronger, specially with the absurd multipliers the SS forms have (500x for SS2, 5000x for SS3), yet they can feel really weak? I really find it hard to believe Multiverse Goku is even on the level of Buu saga Goku, much less stronger... Heck, Goku promises Buu he'll be much stronger when Buu reincarnates, and End of Z suggests he's above Vegeta and Gohan, which's why he's so excited to train Uub, yet, Multiverse Goku is strictly below Gohan and dead even with Vegeta. There's also Piccolo during Babidi's rampage, who was about to get killed by Cooler and Freeza, even though he should be far above their levels (He also fought Cold, but Cold barely did anything to him before the Kaioshins started to fight Cold, so Piccolo doing one SBC and looking worse than Cooler whose body was chopped off is particularly humiliating).

That part always made me confused why so many people were convinced Goku was nearing his limits or that the power hierarchy wouldn't change anymore after the Buu Saga until Super happened.
>>
>>571497558
>who was about to get killed by Cooler and Freeza, even though he should be far above their levels
Which is extra weird since training is supposed to be useless and Piccolo should be at the level of power were not only he can one shot both but he could also one shot people who one shot Freeza and Cooler, like 17 and 18 just had Trunks's sword harmlessly break on them.
>>
>>571497558
>>571497734
The multipliers aren't so crazy given that SS2 Gohan fucking murdered those Cell Jrs like it's not even close to being close
>>
>>571502647
To be fair you have to remember super saiyan 2 Gohan isn't just super saiyan 2, but it's ss2 on top of whatever crazy power multiplier that his rage boosting gives. I consider them seperate things because Goku seems to imply it very much so works like that in buu saga. As long as you assume Gohan's using 2 against Dabura, which should be the case.
>>
>>571502647
Also, Cell Games Gohan was significantly stronger than everyone else there at his base, even Goku. To the point that he didn't even register the level that Cell was fighting Goku at to even really be much of a threat, and assumed they were both holding back (true for Cell's case)
>>
>>571509115
It's kind of weird and not 100% consistent, honestly the way I see it multipliers are bullshit but if I had to go with multipliers SS would only have to be x50 because of the Kaioken x20 issue but if not for that I'd only see it as like x10 because it's way better than base form but it's not like base form fighters are complete insects, SS2 should be a fat x4 at least because of how Gohan butchered the Jrs, and SS3 I feel is between x2-x4 because SS2 Vegeta can kind of fight SS3 level fighters without horribly dying while still getting his ass kicked
>>
>>571509523
>SS2 Vegeta can kind of fight SS3 level fighters without horribly dying while still getting his ass kicked
I mean, I'm not sure i'd take the Kid buu fight as much of a feat, Kid buu was very much so not taking vegeta seriously during that fight and was beating the shit out of him to beat the shit out of him. If he wanted vegeta dead he'd do that big ass attack he used to destroy earth
>>
Also, I'm not sure why you're taking the cell juniors specifically as a feat when it's implied that he can easily do the same thing to Cell himself but wants to to make Cell suffer and is therefore holding back

Also Vegeta is striking back which Buu dodges, it's obviously one-sided but it's not "you're completely useless, don't even try to compete" one-sided like we see in Cell arc fights. I don't think Buu is fucking around that much, he's really going for a kill here, if Satan didn't interrupt Vegeta would've been choked to death

I'm taking the Jrs as a feat because that means SS2 Gohan is beheading Vegeta/Trunks tier fighters with single strikes and while he's stronger than Vegeta and Trunks in SS1 I still think it's a pretty crazy feat that might imply a bigger multiplier than 2. Could go either way.

Of course the real answer to any of these questions is simple, multipliers aren't real, powerlevels aren't real, and even base Vegeta is going to throw hands with Kid Buu for some reason believing he can gain any amount of time like that. It's a funny debate but this is the real answer.
>>
>>571509926
Trying to determine strength off of being able to damage people is weird with regnerators. Cell took a lot of visual damage from the Final Flash and the Warp Kamehameha but given the "he still has most of his ki in this form" statement from Goku it's kind of implied it didn't even do that much damage, really? It's weird. Lots of people like Gohan and Dabura are able to damage buu but it's not taken as much of anything, really.
>>571510326
Oh I do ultimately agree that Cell Games ss2 gohan's multiplier is higher than just 2x Super Saiyan. I just personally think it's a combination of Gohan's base being stronger than everyone else by default + Rage boosting as opposed to 2x not being a 2x
>>
>>571510531
Regenerators are weird, definitely, but Kid Buu showing surprise is kinda big. Even Goku says they might be able to hold out for one minute like that. And in fact they do, Vegeta did a really good job here.

>>571510072
>I don't think Buu is fucking around that much,

>>571510883
That doesn't really change my point, Kid Buu was taking nothing seriously. I don't think he even can. It's not for nothing that even Toriyama was like 'Yeah, even Buu himself has no clue how strong he is'.

He fell asleep before the fight started while Goku and Vegeta were arguing, and obviously woke up when Goku transformed. He pulled an emote when Goku was discussing battle plans with Vegeta. Before that, the fight with Goku is actually very vicious and even, with a little edge for Goku power wise but Buu being too tanky to actually get killed. That's why Goku thought he had a shot at killing him but needed time for that, he wouldn't be able to if he was weaker.

So that's why I reject this idea that Kid Buu is just fucking around in the sense "he's giving you tons of leeway", obviously he does that here >>571510326 but for the most part that's the scary thing about him he's like a wild chimp, he's NOT going to adjust to your strength and give you time, Vegeta actually had to earn that minute through blood and resilience rather than Buu's mercy.
>>
>>571511287
I mean to be fair if vegeta has anything it's tanking comical amounts of punishment, it's kind of his thing. Unless you're 18 I guess.

Cell took damage because he was fucking with Vegeta on purpose, he let himself take the damage.
Buu takes 'damage' cause he's a blob person and his regeneration work in a way where you didn't even damage him to begin with so he put up no defense up just for the fuck of it or to do funny things like turn into an army of mini Buus that just fly at each others and reform the full Buu.
Both take no damage when they actually put their defenses up instead of just using regen to not have to bother.
>>
>>571512041
To be fair, both in the final flash moment and the warp kamehameha moment Cell looked suprised. Both goku and vegeta were comcially weaker than Cell so really he shouldn't have taken any damage but due to being a regenerator he kinda just does.

>>571512795
For the Final Flash, Cell literally pretend to be hurt and then smirk and no sell the damage, he did it on purpose to fuck with Vegeta.
The Warp Kamehameha was because Cell was suppressed to Goku's level.
So in both case, he let himself take the damage, it has nothing to do with being a regenerator beyond Cell and Buu relying on it instead of having their defenses always up.

While we're on the topic of Krillin, I feel like his biggest detriment to his character niche of "Being Goku's best friend" is that Goku as a character doesn't really need friends. I don't mean this in the edgy "I work alone" kind of way but in the sense that him having friends doesn't really do anything for him within the plot, he's not a guy who needs someone to talk to emotionally or confide in or really hang out much, so Krillin doesn't really feel intrinsically any more special than anyone else, he's just the guy who just so happened to show up first.
>>
>>571514072
Actually to add onto this, In Saiyan saga to Namek saga this isn't that big of an issue, because at the very least you can show Krillin as this kind of ride or die guy who's willing to throw himself into the line of fire for Goku's sake, even if they aren't interacting much on a personal level, which culminates in the whole sacrafice is super saiyan reveal. This falls off extremely hard in Androids and Buu saga and Krillin still being "goku's best friend" feels entirely superfluous, he doesn't really have much of a character niche at all anymore

I disagree, we don't need Goku to go and confide or hang out. Krillin can be the best friend and it adds another dimension to Goku, personal attachment, memories, all of that.
>>
>>571515068
I actually respect saiyan/ namek saga krillin a lot he wasn't cowardly at all, dude got shanked by second form frieza, revived, and then immediately started taunting his ass to get pressure off of the rest of the group.
>>
>>571515130
Goku really only has a singular arc of particular attachment to Krillin specifically in Roshi training, and that was largely offscreen or a montage in the manga. In universe I absolutely understand why Goku is so attached to krillin because "well he was kinda my first real friend" is all goku really needs and relationships never decay for him at all" This is mostly a meta perspective for me. And as mentioned his character role deteriorates dramatically after namek saga
>>
>>571515068
He went to Namek and fought Freeza and his henchmen. He was smart enough not to attack 17 and 18. He was moral enough to not kill 18 when he could have. He was the first one to attack Perfect Cell. He became a cop to promote the general good.

You sound like a beta faggot who can't handle the fact that a fictional midget did more with his life than you. Also, fuck Yamcha.
>>
>>571515384
>And as mentioned his character role deteriorates dramatically after namek saga
The Cell saga poorly handles its cast and the Buu saga is focused on lots of concepts that don't really tend themselves to what Krillin could do, it's a big comedy arc (a great one).

I don't really see the issue, nobody in Dragon Ball really goes and "bonds" onscreen for long periods of time, hell even offscreen it's pretty rare, these guys don't see each other that much. And yet, having that character trait of Goku, being that he has a clearly defined best friend adds a lot to him.
>>
>>571515626
>nobody in Dragon Ball really goes and "bonds" onscreen for long periods of time, hell even offscreen it's pretty rare
You're absolutely correct, the issue is Krillin specifically is a character largely defined by his bonds with Goku, much moreso than other characters who comparatively have their own thing going on (all of them are linked to Goku, obviously, but Krillin moreso) so I think Krillin specifically really suffers when there's no direct fight plot for him to be involved in, because his role as goku's friend is as comparatively shallow as most bonds are in this series. Like if Piccolo can't fight he can still do a bunch of stuff as evidenced by buu saga, but if krillin can't fight his secondary role as goku's friend kind of cant do anything for him if he's not fucking dying

>>571516050
Given the situation of namek I think being cowardly against the frieza soldiers was generally a sound tactical decision, as fucking up and alerting the frieza force can cause them to get swarmed. Even then he just doesn't feel that bad in namek compared to androids

>the issue is Krillin specifically is a character largely defined by his bonds with Goku, much moreso than other characters who comparatively have their own thing going on
What? Krillin has tons of things going on, far more than Yamcha or Tenshinhan ever did. He has a good dynamic with Piccolo, with Gohan, with Bulma, with Roshi, with Trunks, with fucking EVERYONE. What the hell do you mean with that? Krillin is one of the most well defined characters in this entire manga.

It's pretty much canon that regular humans are the weakest out of all the fighters. There's only so much improvement they can have and they had him fight plenty of non-humans. Tien and Yamcha always get beat too.

I agree that his falling for 18 was pretty much the end of him being a competent fighter, though.
>>
>>571516050
>he's a coward against literally every frieza minion, weak or strong
No? When exactly? All he did was very sound tactical decisions
>he was too terrified to defend his friends against the androids
That felt slightly OOC but part of the general "we're useless, we're not doing anything!" trend of the Cell arc where characters would just say this over and over again. The characters themselves said he was right to not jump in, so it's not like it mattered at all.
>he fell for 18 and risked the entire planet for a single kiss from a girl who wanted to murder his best friend
18 was already completely irrelevant when it came to Goku being killed, if she ever had a chance to do that it was long gone. At this point Krillin wanted to save an innocent, which he did, although it was a foolish decision that was mostly on Vegeta.
>not only is he the stupidest of the cast, lower than hercule, he's also totally worthless to the point even his wife calls him out on it in eoz
You posted filler. I suspect you're a /dbs/ obsessed retard, one of those cuckposting guys. Canon Krillin is actually admired by his wife, DBS showed it.
>>
>>571516478
He interacts with a lot of those characters but I wouldn't exactly call him having a great dynamic with them. The closest thing to that I'd call is his interactions with Gohan during Namek saga, where he played the straight man to Gohan's rage and tried to keep him from fucking up their stealth at times. He doesn't really bounce off of any of those other characters nearly as much. Tien and Yamcha both have absolutely zero character niche, they existed to be a sort of rival turned good but that's Piccolo's role, and Piccolo does that way better and has way more things going on than either of them. I regretably and Tien should have stayed dead after their saiyan saga deaths

You didn't really do that except name the Krillin-Gohan duo which was indeed one of the highlights of Dragon Ball (and too underrated). My point is, if we're not bringing up stupidly obvious contenders like the Goku Vegeta rivalry, then Krillin is easily one of the characters with the most clear identity in this cast and the one they can just add without thinking about it, he can work with pretty much any of these characters. He's never the main, but he always supplements them well.

>and he really only started to feel aimless around Cell
Here's the thing though, Cell was annoying because it rubbed it in your nose by having all the humans go "we're useless!" and even Piccolo's big powerup amount to nothing, but even then they didn't have that much screentime and in Buu it's pretty clear they're not here for a long time, so it's not that they're aimless, they're just letting other characters take center stage. Buu is about Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Gotenks, Buu and Satan, maybe Piccolo too.
>>
>>571517110
>having a job isn't doing something with your life
It is when you compare them to Goku or Vegeta basically just training the entire time. That on top of the fact that he spends time with them compared to those two. Even Chi-Chi has accepted that Goku is a shitty father and doesn't care so long as he provides financially for Goten. Krillin doesn't win father of the year, but in comparison he's *much* better than the rest of the cast except for Gohan maybe.What does Gohan do for cash anyway?
>If he was passionate and was doing more than being a ticket cop, maybe, but it's not like he's chief of police or a detective
Fair enough, but that's honestly probably an issue with the writing more than Krillin's lack of motivation. He barely gets any screentime as it is and we only had 1-2 scenes with him as a cop to start with.
>just imagine an experience fighter like krillin and tien with android level upgrades
Agreed, but they're probably still human to give the cast at least some level of humanity rather than all aliens and robots.
>>
>>571517110
>i blame the lack of human progress on bulma not being willing to take the android blueprints to upgrade the others. just imagine an experienced fighter like krillin and tien with android level upgrades. he pretty much just gave up the second he got laid and sought out no avenues of progress. literally wasted potential
That's stupid, the lack of human progress is Toriyama having 4 Super Saiyans and 1 Namek and rewriting his arc multiple times so nobody had anything to achieve other than defeating the main villain so obviously nobody can defeat the main villain except the very strongest guy at the very end and the weaker characters can't do anything at all. It's not about characters being lazy or something. Similarly:
>if he was passionate and was doing more than being a ticket cop, maybe, but it's not like he's chief of police or a detective
This is also retarded. Toriyama wrote him as a cop because it was kinda funny and endearing. He didn't want to go "errm... POLICE CHIEF HIGHLY RANKED TAKING ON MURDER CASES", he wrote Krillin as a cop doing cop things, it's silly and endearing, that's just what it is

I mean aside from Vegeta I wouldn't even really argue Buu saga uses a large amount of its cast all that well. Gohan's powerupp also amounts to nothing (granted it really shouldn't have because it was a free powerup that too nothing) and they rub it in your face pretty hard how useless piccolo is with the gotenks fight. Goku is also kind of weird during buu saga with him being extremely callous at times and comically overconfident (what the fuck was he thinking dumping buu at goten and trunks' feet they've never even been in a real fight before)

He has great interactions and funny moments. We don't really care about him punching people good.

Goku has literally some of his best moments during the Buu arc. And he was actually right the kids would defeat Fat Buu. In fact they would've beaten Super Buu if they didn't fuck around. They were more than ready. Goku wouldn't have helped trying to beat Fat Buu in SS3 which he probably couldn't have and leaving everyone now stranded without help.
>>
>>571518230
>In fact they would've beaten Super Buu if they didn't fuck around.
I mean, yes? Goku saw this exact scenario play out back in cell saga? Why would he think that goten and trunks would be any more serious about it this time around? Gotenks is strong enough to beat fat buu i'm not attesting against that i'm saying they would've made the same mistakes Gohan did and they in fact did do that (for different reasons obviously, but still) Goku being confident on whether or not he could beat fat buu is an odd one, he tells piccolo he couldn't, and he had no reason to lie to piccolo because piccolo respected Goku's decision to leave it to the next generation either way, but during the kid buu fight he IS confident he could've done it.
>>
>>571518508
>I mean, yes? Goku saw this exact scenario play out back in cell saga?
They were fighting Fat Buu, not Super Buu, and that was Fat Buu withotu Babidi. There was NOTHING Goku should have done differently at that time, it was a FAR safer choice to teach the kids fusion no matter what he says later and how much you believe him, either he could beat Fat Buu but he had good reason to leave successors to defend Earth behind (canonically, acknowledged and praised by Kamiccolo) or he just couldn't beat him so it was safer. This is such retarded levels of nitpicking.
>>
In fact i'm generally weirded out by Goku's deep autism about "leaving it to the next generation" leaving the whole cell saga speech aside because i've pointed out how weird that is several times, it's just odd that Goku's going out of his way to leave Gohan out to dry when Goku's constantly been supported by his friends and rivals during important fights. Like what if Gohan gets himself in a raditz situation is he just supposed to figure that out himself? He saw evidence that leaving Gohan by himself didn't somehow make himself stronger or more determined to protect the earth, so instead of just dropping the pretense and reviving himself to help he just tries again with goten and trunks and THAT also fucks up
>>571518768
There was always the option of reviving himself and vegeta and having them fuse, there's no reason to be so stingy with dragonball wishes when the namek balls are right there

Bulma's dad was a genius, but his specialty was capsuletech, not weapons designs. He said Gero's blueprints were too complicated and ahead of their time. He even lamented that Gero was an evil genius and used his intelligence in the wrong way

Bulma is a generalist and made crazy shit like a time machine, but that took decades and that was her future counterpart. Present Bulma still wonders how the fuck her future self cracked time travel. Ironically enough, Pilaf uncovered time travel and Bulma didn't understand a word he said

They only had Earth DBs which only revived people who died once. And you're going into "why didn't they just fly to Mordor" territory. Why did they let Piccolo get teleported on Namek to fight Frieza? That was INCREDIBLY retarded and yet I don't see anyone call Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin the biggest retard trio in the universe. Hell, they should've asked to be teleported to Earth to escape, end of story. They didn't because maybe it's not about hacking the system with wishes.

>it's just odd that Goku's going out of his way to leave Gohan out to dry
When did he do that? How exactly? He DIED. He supported Gohan all the way through. Even from heaven he managed to get one call to support Gohan psychologically so he could defeat Cell. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>571519275
Yeah he died, in a series where death is meaningless and he was explicitly going to be revived and denied the notion of doing so, Goku being dead doesn't mean anything inherently
>>
>>571519275
>They didn't because maybe it's not about hacking the system with wishes.
This is a series where King kai and vegeta do massive wish chains to achieve certain goals, going "hey let's just use the dragonballs to revive a couple people to do fusion" is nothing compared to the shit King Kai and later Vegeta got up to with those things
>>
>>571519428
>HEY why did this manga author try to contrive a reason to have an emotional death instead of having characters hack their way to undo it?

Are you autistic? Genuine question.
>>
>>571519428

They had a whole moment in the Buu saga where Piccolo adopt that mindset for a bit and get all of Earth killed and is horrified by what he did.
>>
>>571519116

He also could make ship engines. Briefs' intellect is basically "Bulma but not as smart", so he's a generalist as well. He just doesn't have as many chances to show off snce he's made redundant by Bulma herself.
>>
>>571519564
That was when they explicitly had two sets of Dragon Balls available. Toriyama mostly wrote off Namekian Dragon Balls after Namek, only bringing them back for the big finale, even though it should be an easy "fix everything" button for any issue. Cell kills everyone? It's fine, Kaio-sama can give the Namekians a call so they revive our guys. Bad future? Hey, where are the Namekian Dragon Balls?

At that time they didn't have that. That was out of the picture. You can't blame GOKU for not using Namekian Dragon Balls when NOBODY used Namekian Dragon Balls in far more dire circumstances. This is so fucking stupid.
>>
>>571519619
Hacking the system, what? Using the dragon balls to revive someone is just about one of the most standard things done with them in this series? It's Krillin who explicitly brings up using the Namek Dragonballs to revive Goku. This isn't hacking the system this is something explicitly brought up as explicitly possible within the narrative but was chosen not to be done because of Goku's wishes

Why is everyone okay with what he's saying, including Kaio-sama? Could it be that Toriyama tried to induce a "natural" death for Goku that characters would have to accept for various reasons (that don't really make much sense but whatever), and facilitate that by having Goku not able to be revived by Earth balls while Namekian balls are far away so it's less obvious they have other means?
Aka, admittedly shakier, less logical storytelling, but still emotionally strong and iconic?

Or is it that Toriyama wanted to characterize Goku as a psycho, Kaio as an enabler and everyone else in the crew as retards for not contradicting him?
>>
>>571519712
>Briefs' intellect is basically "Bulma but not as smart"
From what I recall Briefs is actually smarter than Bulma isn't he?
>>
>>571520315
I mean, really I feel like Trunks should be calling out Goku here pretty badly. His reasoning for staying dead involving the "man I cause bad things to show up" really doesn't hold water when his entire timeline is predicated on the idea that the bad things still showed up when Goku died. I'm aware of the themes that Toriyama was attempting to do with goku and he was attempting to setup Gohan as the main character, I just find this whole thing to be on extremely shaky ground and I don't think emotional resonance entirely negates narrative problems from existing.
>>
>>571520532
I completely agree with you and I think it sadly brings down this otherwise pretty strong scene because it stands on very shaky grounds, logically and sadly also narratively (although you could argue now that Goku truly made Gohan his successor they don't need him to drive hope forward, he gave them everything). I'm just saying it's obviously asinine and stupid to pretend this is about Goku being characterized as a deadbeat suicidal piece of shit when it's clearly trying to rationalize this outcome as the "natural" one that you're supposed to accept rather than challenge.
>>
>>571520725
>I'm just saying it's obviously asinine and stupid to pretend this is about Goku being characterized as a deadbeat suicidal piece of shit
Huh? Anon I don't think that at all that's not where my point was going with this. If anything I just think Goku wanted to hang out and do cool training shit in the afterlife and everything else was secondary. I just think he also left Gohan out to dry because of that
>>
>>571519848
I don't think Toriyama is immune from criticism for setting up the namekian dragonballs as a thing and not letting them be used. If they were never used after namek saga i'd largely be okay with it but Vegeta doing his thing at the end of buu saga kind of opens the floodgates

That's bullshit, everything about these scenes and this death was emotional. You're trying to explain Goku not coming back by having this by having Goku choosing to have fun in the afterlife even though the plot is very clear and obvious that this is some kind of "fate" and something for characters to accept. The passing of the torch, the father dying but leaving his spirit to his son. That's what these themes and these (oddly) emotional scenes say, not "Goku wants to see if some dead guys he never saw before and hasn't even seen yet can punch good"

>>571521226
I'm not saying he's immune from criticism, I'm saying this "okay I know we can fly to Mordor but this isn't the point so please ignore this okay? I wont mention those eagles just don't bother me with them we need to actually do the adventure shit" stuff is an authorial choice that doesn't actually reflect on the characters.

I don't think they're directly or indirectly compared in the OG manga. The closest thing I can think of is Briefs saying Gero's androids tech is so advanced even he struggles to understand it, while Bulma doesn't comment on it, but she was talking about something else (Saying that because of the way 17 and 18 are bio enhanced, it makes sense for Cell to be able to absorb them). Jaco's manga though, does have pic related, and that's Bulma as just a kid, so she's definitely smarter than him by the time DB takes place.
>>
>>571521724
I mean again I understand what the themes are trying to say about Goku, but I think the presentation of it is kind of extremely shitty. Gohan is barely able to so much as get a single word in before Goku just leaves forever. In any other setting this would be a miracle last visit from a dead loved one but this just does not work at all in dragonball. I don't think Themes should come at a detriment to the narrative or vice versa.
Also again, i'd be very okay with the "why didn't they fly the eagles into mordor" thing if they very much so did do that. Vegeta DID use the namek dragonballs and therefore now every time else they didn't is immediately under scrutiny. I'm entirely okay with giving stories the benefit of the doubt but you aren't allowed to sidestep it one time then say the rest of it is also under benefit of the doubt
>>
>>571522315
>but I think the presentation of it is kind of extremely shitty.
If it only fall apart after 20+ years of the internet stewing on it, the presentation was probably actually very good.
I doubt that's how you saw it the first time you read it.
>>
>>571522510

>>
>>571522757
So you already knew about it and had already seen the decades of stewing the internet did.
>>
>>571523083
I've basically heard nothing but absolute praise for that scene, anon. It's one of the most popular goodbyes in shounen and Goku's sendoff to Gohan is something i've almost never seen criticized. Granted, i'm personally of the opinion that no one actually reads dragonball and most experience dragonball's plot through videogames and such
>>
>>571522315
I'd partly agree and partly disagree, I think it does some things right and others wrong. The shaky logical foundations are hindering the emotional payoff but it's still effective on me. I don't love the Cell arc, but the ending is what saves it imo.

That said, my point was about trying to infer things about these characters based on these things when it's clear what they were meant to be, aka not that.
>>
>>571523378
It entirely depends on how much you allow death of the author to enter your analysis of a narrative, and yours is just as valid for not letting it in and only analyzing it through the lens that toriyama probably intended for you to see them through. Really though my main criticism is it probably should've just been longer. if it wasn't so short and Gohan was allowed to respond and say like "yeah okay dad, I wont let you down" or something as basic as that but it's just so abrupt and kind of out of nowhere that I cant help but poke at it. But that aside I think we've gone way off topic. My point is that the shaky ground that Goku bases all of his "next generation stuff" off of, even if you think it doesn't affect the goodbye in of itself, I think does affect his actions in buu saga and makes them come off as odd.

Breakers required too much thinking, planning, and analysis for the average dragon ball fan. And Bandai namco/dimps did not understand or care about the game at all either.

>>571525001
It just didn't have the right look, art direction or atmosphere to work long term and even then, it's technically still alive so it survived surprisingly long even for a DB game.
It should have been actual DB Dead By Daylight instead of basically a Xenoverse 2 minigame / DLC.

To be fair that's how these have always been, remember the Cell and Bojack specials where it's just the respective villians just slowly killing everyone with no retaliation. The broly one too.

That's just Dragon Ball fans, who in particular have a consoomer mindset when it comes to anything official that the franchise gets. Sometimes when it's bad or overhyped you'll see a switch up, kinda like how you'd get called a fake fan and got the "hype momments and aura" fallacy when you had a problem with Daima when it was announced and airing and now you've got people shitting on it and even throwing tantrums at the thought of Daima possibly headlining gacha anniversaries.

Same with Sparking Zero, when it's marketing started you were called every slur under the sun for rightfully pointing out how ugly it could look, but now you've got people comparing it to Legends and the new Xenvoerse game and pointing out how underwhelming it was and that Neo should have been apart of the base game.

Anime game fans outside of Dragon Ball generally have decent enough taste. Bamco shat out Cursed Clash at the height of JJK's popularity and it flopped. HxH has a big enough following for a game to do well even when it's on hiatus, the game 8ing produced was considered a failure before it was even out. One Piece fans are practically a cult when it comes to the anime and manga, but even they draw the line at their shitty games. They won't even play their Chinese gachas even though they're objectively higher quality than anything else they have.
>>
>>571543425
Isn't Toei making their own gaming division? For whatever reason it doesn't include anime, but why doesn't Shueisha do that for its shonen? Outside of DB and Saint Seiya bandai basically squanders every other shounen battle anime.
>>
>>571543425
>HxH has a big enough following for a game to do well even when it's on hiatus
I disagree, I don't see a HxH game ever doing mainstream-like well, people who follow that series are mostly theorists and not necessarily fighting enthusiasts.
Even if the game was very good it still doesn't have that kind of mass appeal to sell anywhere as much as any Naruto Storm for example, even Connections.
