>>527144684 (OP)i like how squadra looks but i don't like assfaggots, what now?
What do you think is the next DB game that gets a sequel? When do you expect it to happen? Why won't it be Fusions?
>>527146007Enjoy watching other people play it, i guess.
>>527146110>the next DB game that gets a sequel?Unironically XV3. Nothing else has a chance unless they do another revival out of nowhere, but very slim chances for that.
>When do you expect it to happen?Late 2026 if we're lucky. At the moment the only thing set for that year is Kakarot's DLC Part 2.
>Why won't it be Fusions?Because the devs are now gonna be busy for years with an online game as you can see.
>install project multi for the new test (not calling it chingchongningnong bingbong that's a fucking horrendous name)
>play a few matches, they're complete stomps where we win
>get a match where a teammate quits after the first like 30 seconds cause he got assraped
>lose
>get a match where both attackers try to go in one lane
>lose
>play a few more matches, they're all one sided stomps where people being stupid and crippling your team are the main factor in a win or loss, not anything to do with the game itself
what a total shitshow, and there's no way to come back from a loss without great ape anymore, instead of tuning it they just got rid of it, what an odd fucking choice cause now you see the fact of a win or loss within ~1m of the match starting, and it takes that long to FIND the fucking matches and wait through the fucking cutscenes and minute long character select (it's not a draft, why is it more than 15 seconds?)
I actually thought I'd like the game and maybe even buy in, but no fucking way as it is now.
Maybe in a day or two it'll be a little better on the retard front but I'm not super hopeful.
>>527149765first matches have to be against bots they felt too braindead
>>527151260I was up to 50 before I stopped for the day, it never really felt like it changed. The first few were definitely against bots, you can tell by the names (Single words, capitalized), but after that it's real people, it's more telling because you get someone AFKing in EVERY match thanks to mobilefaggots, just a coinflip whether it's your team or theirs. And there's no punishment lmao.
>>527121580>Nostalgiafag absolutely entrenched the fact a goat oc btfo'd another lame recolorThe people have spoken. SS4: cash-in edition officially sucks.
>>527121683>Literally just won a big awardFrom pedowood of all things, the same frustrated group who think Studio Ghibli movies are chinese animation.
Also got it because the fucker died.
>breaking record revenue for Toei this fiscal year.Because of Gacha, Dragon Ball Daylight, and Sparking! Shit, which was before Dragon Ball Aruma characters got released.
>>527149765>where people being stupid and crippling your team are the main factor in a win or loss, not anything to do with the game itselfthat's every game with online teams to be fair, it's just not something you can effectively do nor enjoy with randos
>Officially the first Dragon Ball game to have my wife Kusu (formerly Cus) in it.
I love Ganbarion.
they need to skip the ready shit. way too many people don't click join
there's also too many errors in search
these are two important things
>>527167263>canonically a hag
>>527151260definitely, i just did my first few matches and i was legitimately able to slowly go through bottom lane all by myself without anyone from the other team realizing that 3/4 of our team were on top and coming down to try and kick my ass
i know people may be braindead but i know we wouldn't get away with that shit versus real people

Where's the fake frenchie claiming the new manga thing wasn't a mistranslation and Toyo was 100% moving to a different manga now?
>>527168271Holy shit imagine if Super comes back with a doctor Mashirito and Toyble team up.
Just looked at Sparking Zero's costumes and sighed...
why are there two niggers always not clicking join?
>>527168767they either can be monetized or cosmetics just aint gonna happen, simple as
of course, then there's modders making them in their free time for free (usually), but they're chumps and we're masters of our craft obviously
>>527161392this nigga spitting.
>>527168232wait, they have mobile players and PC/console players in the same matchmaking pool? i'm not touching this hoe if that's the case.
>>527167697HEY! She's a wise lady, not a hag!
>>527167263The game is officially better than Dokkan and Legends
I think we're entering a new dark age.
>>527169346i wish Sparking had monetized costumes. i would roll over for 'em.
>>527167697Pussy is pussy
>>527168271I wonder how /dbs/ took the original report? Was it endless Toyo shitposting?
>>527172538She's literally the oldest angel of them all only second to her father
>>527175070Pretty sure you can type "Toyo new manga" and find it in the archives. Not like the place isn't already endless shitposting 24/7
>>527175505Man if this guy gets to be Toyo's editor Super is gonna be something else
>>527175741oh, it's gonna be something else alright...
>>527178437...but enough about Daipa...
Reminder that Majins can shit actual feces or literal chocolate/candy out of their asses anytime they want.
Reminder that you'll never have a Majin gf or bf.
>inb4 source
I work for CCT, Daima Season 2 will be post-End of Super/Z. Bye.
>>527168271It's still not mistranslated, it was just wrong.
Since y'all talking about scat, let's talk about pedophile debaters too.
>>527180384watching this nigga get BTFO outta the scene, community, and internet was hilarious.
>>527180384Broly is a movie character, the movieverse puts every Dragon Ball characters at their maxed out stats.
>Krillin tanking a Broly attack >Videl being able to keep up with Broly>Goku's Kaioken x100 put him above SS2 via multipliers>Tien being able to keep up with Trunks without losing an arm again >SS Goku actually ridding Cooler down to his eyes>SS3 Goku shakes the fucking heavens and hell itself
>>527180975You say it's inconsistent fanfic tier shit like base Bardock being SS tier in Heroes or Legends
>>527181381to be fair, Bardock is a Super Saiyan in Heroes. that wasn't a good point of comparison to draw. lol
i also think it's a hair dishonest to imply Tien was tanking bloodlusted Trunks and that Videl was tanking bloodlusted Broly.
>>527181778I'm talking about base Bardock. in Heroes Bardock can go up to SS4, but has been fighting Super Saiyans since he appeared there in base form
>>527181904Even funnier when you remember Toriyama's opinion on Bardock's strenght
>Oh yes he was really strong for a low class saiyan. Oh no he would never reach the elites
damn

Can Torishima fix Toyotaro?
>>527144684 (OP)you can see his inner bioarmor inside, kinda cool
I'm DPS/ tank, anybody want to make a 4chan team? i feel like 4 of any us would win most matches. DPS i prefer goku, tank i prefer caulifla. not a fan of technical role at all.
>>527180384Goku and Paikuhan dealt with Broly in the afterlife and Goku said that Janemba was the second one after Buu to push him to use Super Saiyan 3
>>527180384I do not care what autism delusions they have, Broly is in between Cell and the Buu saga so he loses to Buu, that's just how DB's inner logic works.
>>527180609Didn't he use to get millions of views?
>>527183306No, Toyotaro isn't Toriyama, he'd literally crumble under the pressure. Torishima's method only had success because Toriyama is a genius and you get gold when you squeeze him.
Most other mangaka Torishima tried that method on went to shit until they got a less retarded editor who was more constructive in their work method.
>>527185982That sounds like a bad editor man, if your only method is pressure a genius until he produces a wonderful result then you are terrible at your job. Like those teachers who proudly announce their classes are really hard and their students rarely pass
>>527184407I haven't started playing yet but a 4chan team sounds cool.
>>527186268It's not for nothing that Torishima is known as 'the guy that was Toriyama's editor and busted his balls a few times even after not being his editor anymore' instead of having multiple similar big successes.
I wouldn't call him 'bad', he has a lot of experience and can use it well but he's not all that above average IMO.
>>527185982Even then Toriyama pushed for things he wanted that were against Torishima's wants, specifically, allowing Goku to grow up.
Im glad that thing about Toyotaro making an original manga isnโt true, but the wording kind of makes me think there wonโt be anything new at all. Almost definitely not true, but for all we know, most of that interview can just be these two talking about their experiences working with dragon ball, how they felt about super, and when asking about continuing (if theyโre even asked) itโs a vague nothing-answer
>>527175741>a guy who hasn't worked at Shueisha for 10 years>who hasn't worked as a "frontline" editor for 30>whose editing philosophy was all about guiding young talent to create new original hits>will agree to go back to Shueisha to work in a spin-off magazine to supervise a middle-aged veteran who has only ever worked on someone else's franchiseYeah, I don't think it's particularly likely.
>>527186268No, he had a point. Teacher is there for students. Editor is for the magazine, not for his mangaka. In the world of manga, 1 big hit will bring you more money than multiple okayish series. If you can't make it big, then it's better to move on to somebody who can.
>>527149765by your own logic, great ape, would have just went to your opponents and you would have got stomped even harder..
>>527186626He was an editor-in-chief for 5 years and fostered the same kind of a maximum pressure culture in the entire magazine. If you read Kishimoto's interview about early Naruto, his editor Torishima'd the hell out of him. It worked.
>>527190620>It worked.Shippuden says otherwise
Is Akio attending too in July?
>>527188907No he fucking didn't. Editors work for the magazine but are there for the authors just like teachers work for the school but are there for the students.
If you just crush all rocks hoping one of them becomes a diamond under the pressure you are just terrible at your job
>>527191116It went to shit is what it did. If all Torishima can do is turn manga into wannabe DBZ then he was a bad influence at best.
>>527190620>his editor Torishima'd the hell out of him. It worked.IIRC Yahagi didn't just go "rejected" since he was an artist too and he helped Kishimoto with the art on occasion. He also cut down Kishimoto's bad habits like info dumps (Compare Naruto's first chapters with Samurai 8's, when Yahagi isn't around anymore), suggested the chunin exam to include other villages faster, and he pushed to keep the plot unpredictable in fun ways, such as Orochimaru crashing the chunin exam, instead of going with the tournament until the end.
While Yahagi did squeeze Kishimoto, he tried to help on the writing as well. Wonder what he's up to nowadays.
>>527192709>suggested the chunin exam to include other villages fasterI think that was a mistake. We needed more Team 7 missions before the Chunnin exam. It's kinda jarring they only ever went on 1 mission that mattered.
>>527191969No. Ultimately the school is being paid to have the student learn at the end of his education. So if he flunks a course, it's a failure for the school as well. But the mangaka isn't the ultimate purpose of the magazine. The readers are. It doesn't matter who writes or draw the manga, what matters is whether you produce content people will pay for.
Torishima and Toriyama worked because they were just a pair of weirdos who liked bunny girls. Despite hating each other's guts at times, they respected one another as equals. The dynamic between Torishima and Toyotaro would be too uneven, and the latter's too engrossed in the manga/anime scene (and IP) to do anything fresh and interesting. It reminds me of when Nozawa said something along the lines of newer VAs regurgitating anime performances to the point that they sound like a copy of a copy.
>>527193178True, although there could have been more missions after the tournament, as long as they happen before Itchi shows up, but Itachi showed up not long after...
>>527192709Neither did Torishima. E.g. Toriyama didn't come up with wanting to draw a martial arts manga, he just didn't want to continue Dr. Slump anymore, and Torishima suggested martial arts as the new project based on Toriyama's interests.
>>527193665I thought Toriyama's wife suggested that, something about him always watching martial arts movies and she suggested him to do a manga about it after Dr. Slump. I could be wrong of course.
>>527194098If I recall the story correctly, Torishima meet up with Toriyama at his house and then is wife talked about it more as a small talk than anything, and then Torishima suggested making it into the next manga. Obviously, Torishima is very much an "I, I, I" person based on his intervies, so he could be giving himself more credit than he deserves, but at least according to himself, he was contributing to the ideas. And I don't think Toriyama ever contradicted any of it.
>>527193439That's just saying it doesn't matter how much you make people suffer as long it makes money you pig
>>527193439If an author flunk and his manga flop, the magazine lose money, anon.
how do i use the cards in the moba?
>>527191932He's uh...visiting Fuji TV for more "deals".
>>527195171So you try again with him or move on to another one (I think Jump gives you three chances). A school is paid to teach this particular student. A magazine is paid to produce a manga by whoever. A single hit will pay for many failures. A better comparison would be a company that hires multiple interns with the intention of keeping only one of them after a couple of months. They do not train him for his sake but for their own. Of course they lose money on all of them. But it may be worth it.
>>527195070A magazine is for the readers, not for the mangaka. It's a highly competitive field. You may be put through the wringer and still lose in the end. No one can guarantee you success.
>>527196701>So you try again with him or move on to another oneOr you stop being a retard wasting money and you guide him properly from the start.
There's no possible defense for fucking up and being lazy on purpose, give it up.
>>527196701>A magazine is for the readers, not for the mangakaReaders benefit from the mangaka being taught and guided properly.
>>527197426>PLEASE STOP BTOFING ME!!!I guess I can accept your concession. You're free to go.
>>527196701>A magazine is for the readers, not for the mangakaGuess who makes the readers happy.
>>527197684>Complete non-sequiturYou realized you were wrong just now, didn't you?
>>527197631Readers benefit from having a manga they want to read. The ultimate question is "can this guy produce a hit". The point isn't making the mangaka's life comfortable.
>>527197823Well, the one that made all of us happy was put through the wringer.
>>527198174>Readers benefit from having a manga they want to read.Which you get by teaching and guiding the mangaka properly instead of just pressing a genius that was gonna be successful without you.
>>527198174>the one that made all of us happy was put through the wringer.He would have made us happy regardless and told Torishima to go suck a dick several time as he tried to 'put him through the wringer'.
Otherwise Goku would still be a kid who never aged.
>>527198406You're assuming the who's been there since the beginning and has been known for shooting down ideas and suggesting other ones was irrelevant to the proccess which is silly.
>>527198585And if Toriyama went all-in on what he wanted, it'd be a gag manga with some martial arts here and there. It's necessarily a back-and-forth. Torishima wasn't an omniscient god, he could be talked into things.
>>527199135>was irrelevant to the proccess which is silly.He wasn't irrelevant to the process, I'm just saying Toriyama would have done something great regardless, as he did before and after Torishima. That's the thing with being a genius.
>>527180384https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iafqaw0u4eY
>>527199135>And if Toriyama went all-in on what he wanted, it'd be a gag manga with some martial arts here and there.And that part was actually guidance instead of just being 'put through the wringer', by your logic, Toriyama should have just been shit talked until he either succeeded or failed.
It's just a fact that the magazine has a vested interested in their mangaka being successful and avoiding flops and failures and I don't get why you insist otherwise.
>>527199252>beforeTorishima was there since the get-go. From the time of Dr. Slump.
>afterHis second editor was similar in attitude; Plus, Toriyama was already a matured creator. It's only the last one that changed (but it's hard to judge since Toriyama was obviously burnt out by that point).
>>527199417Because you assume I'm arguing for some version of Torishima that exists in your head and not the real deal. Torishima just like Yuhagi mentioned before was harsh, but they were also guiding their mangaka. Of course every editor wants their mangaka to succeed, just like the magazine does. The point are making is that ultimately the proper metric isn't how a magazine's mangaka does on average, but how many produced big hits. Which is what makes it different from the school example.
just had project multi crash in the middle of a match then not even close properly while trying to use all my memory, cool stuff
>>527146110Super Kakarot in two or three years. Ideally starting with Goku meeting Bulma and ending with the ToP, with the rest as optional side stories/post-game
>>527203616nobody buying that shit
>>527203616I think they'd rather do that with DLCs
okay getting stuck in bot teams is still a thing right? because otherwise i'm gonna start losing faith in people
>>527207034You're playing with phone players probably.
>>527207034im getting faggots who pick offensive then go same lane with me (offensive) then proceed to feed the offensive + tank team
>>527207459I just go to the lane closest to me honestly
It takes a while to find a match now
>Two matches
>MVP twice
No way I'm that good of players, either they are Ipad babies or bots
>>527203616That's just Sparking Zero with a real campaigns though
>>527198174>The ultimate question is "can this guy produce a hit".Yeah, and some people can produce modest hits if they have an editor to polish them up some instead of crushing them and hoping to find gold
The AAA strategy of burning through as much money and talent as possible in hopes of finding one single platinum score is a failed one and equivalent to gambling
>play vegeta
>random effects are max 1 skill and skill 1 damage up
>enemies can do fuck all the entire game as i blast them as they approach, blast them as we fight, and blast them as they try to run
>any time they even get close to killing me i just explode and heal up
>able to clear out the bottom lane all by myself
>when my team and the enemy are fighting i just sneak on behind them and nuke the last GoD on top lane and yoink the ball before they can even attempt to fight me
feels good to be the prince
>>527147340Future Saga 4 isn't announced yet, but it's likely 2026. Also, both 2021 and 2023 had no new games, so it wouldn't be a precedwnt if 2026 was the same. As for the revival, I think that Butoden would be the only one that would make sense for the name recognition. Since Budokai is Dimps as well, and I don't expect them to make another DB game on top on everything else.
What does the freeza invasion event even do, I beat the ginyu force like 10 times each but freeza himself never shows up or anything.
>>527213525But it works. Because one hit will carry you further than multiple modest successes. It will not get individual sales, it will boost the prestige of the magazine. And it will of course sell tons of merch. And enough people will try their chance of being a new Toriyama or Oda to get near certainty of a big boy. Shonen Jump is the Olympics level, it's not enough to be decent. There are more niche magazines to try if you don't want to deal with the pressure. Or self-publishing (even back then indies would sell their dojins).
>>527213563Peek Vegeta experience right there
>>527214787>But it worksSo does scoring a jackpot or drawing a straight flush but if you're counting on that to make all your money then you deserve to go broke the moment the wind shifts against you
9 years ago, Toriyama introduced the most divisive character to spawn from the franchise. All out of his nostalgia for Kamen Rider and acknowledging the fanfic hype for Goku to fight against a dark yet divine mirror match of himself (i.e. he literally saw the first Evil Goku Photoshop edit on DeviantArt and called it a day)
Loved by spics. Tsun'd by Z-onlies. Fawned by Fujos. Hated by critics. You name em.
This man was definitely Black.

>>527215891>I'm you, but cooler.
>>527215237Not if your business is so lucrative or prestigious you attract best talent. They're not taking random people from the streets.
>>527215891There are people that think that mfer wasn't senile kek
>>527214787>Because one hit will carry you further than multiple modest successes.And multiple modest successes will carry you further than multiple flop.
You are arguing for pure loss for no reason.
>>527216562>Yeah, bro, we're just always gonna attract guys that will always make us money no matter what to finance all our flops because we don't take care of our talents!You are deeply retarded.
>>527216663There are people (everyone on earth) that know you should go back to your shithole.
I understand it hurts a lot that everyone hate you there but everyone hate you here too.
>>527215891>Divise>Literally a 99.9% approval rateYou guys really need to get out of your bitter delusional echo chamber. There's nothing divise about Black, he's massively loved by almost everyone who watch or read DB.
I'm kinda annoyed by him because apparently Goku's V got a bunch of letters from people saying her Black voice made them horny, what the fuck at least she got to hang out with Caulifla and Kale's VAs alot during the Kefla fight they seemed to like her
Gikishin stop being fun when your teammates are completely braindead.
>>527217461Everyone who loves that garbage lives in a shithole
>>527217606you people are deranged
>>527218635>The vast majority of the population is deranged!Cope.
I had more fun playing Gekishin during the last test where I was playing with someone from this general honestly.
I'm not sold on the Gekishin system, the fact you can't use your normal moves around the GoD while Zeno is hitting them is super annoying.
Why does Multi have a better Caulifla than Sparking Zero
Anyone found a way to check the currencies yet?
Shintani did horrific damage to the game.
>>527220701Sparking Zero had to make close to a hundred model, Gekishin just had to make like 10.
Also her animations are way more basic since it's a MOBA so more time can be used to make her model.
Without forgetting that this is a free to play game so they'll make you pay for more skins for her so she better look good to entice whales.
Zamasu seems just as overpowered as before. Dude is fucking unkillable.

>>527220819I don't think so actually. I'm beginning to think this whole "broly movie style" thing may be a misconception.
My theory is that while some characters actually from the Broly movie are based off of how they looked there, the others were made following various modelsheets from their respective DB shows/movies and then the developers applied basic features from Shintani's art style like curved eyes and rounder faces.
The reason why Caulifla looks so good in the moba is because her body is actually proportioned correctly instead of her head being too big for her neck, her eyes being all bug-like, and her arms being ridiculously skinny
>>527221485fucking hell that hair my god it's like she has a hedgehog for a wig it's no wonder she looks so ridiculous in xenoverse 2 as a super saiyan her hair's as big as Beast Gohan's
>>527223042You're late, it was already shared last thread
>>527222739>big as Beast Gohan'sIs it actually?
>>527220819Sparking! Mono is under production and will have Kubota (30%) and Nakatsuru (70%) as the chief character designers.
Just like how Zero was supposed to be the DBS game, Mono will be taking after it's card game anime counterpart.
>>527223042OoC
My hero would not fall for such average earthly lust.
>>527226586>Kubota>it's card game anime counterpart.
>>527226586I always wanted a true Dragon Ball all-star fighter that made use of it's vast array of arcade original characters.
But sadly, that's not gonna ever happen. :(
>>527183306nah, man. DBZ is finished unless they dumpster everything that came after Wrath of the Dragon and start fresh. the DBS and Daima timelines are spaghetti.
>>527192347people who think Naruto fell off after Part 1 misunderstood the show from the jump. you were never going to enjoy it and shouldn't have come anywhere near my fandom.

So are the OP characters from the beta (Vegeta, Zamasu, Krillin, Piccolo, 18) still stupidly powerful?
>>527229521The 'Pain' arc is literally just one fight, the rest is glorified filler.
Also the Pain arc is like what? 3 arcs into Shippuden?
>>527229791Vegeta and Zamasu yes. Stupidly so.
Piccolo and 18 feel normal so far.
I haven't tried Krillin and I only saw him played by braindead troglodytes who can't aim so I don't know.
>>527230034Retarded logic of enjoying anime
may as well say namek arc is just one fight, cell saga is just one fight, buu saga is just one fight, rest all filler
>>527229229At the very least it was still fun up until Sasori.
>>527230314No, because those arcs actually had stuff going on that mattered leading up to the big fight. For the Pain arc, it was literally all filler. It's like if you made Nappa vs the Z fighters waiting for Goku into the entire arc.
>>527230380Yeah but I'm easy to please so of course I had fun. It was still a noticeable downgrade in quality.
Though to be fair, that started all the way at the tail end of the Chunnin Exam.
Naruto went from borderline useless on his own in a fight to beating Gaara too fast and then escalating even more with the Sasuke retrieval arc right away was too fast.
I honestly think we should have had at least 1 more mission before the Chunnin Exam and then another mission between the Chunnin Exam and the Sasuke Retrieval arc.
>>527229791>>527230034Seriously, Vegeta is already pretty hard to face solo but at least it's doable.
Zamasu? If it's not 2 v 1, you're done.
>>527230380Sasori was such a waste of a puppeteer, dude just had a swarm of puppet to spam instead of doing a more advanced and OP variant of what Kankuro did in the Chunnin Exam.
The fact Temari and Kankuro had no role in saving Gaara either was bullshit.
If Naruto made a CaC game that isn't live service shit, I'd be a Genjutsu or Puppet main.
>>527229057>>527229229the final arc was fine except for the 10 minutes where Madara got betrayed and Naruto and Sasuke had to fight an alien. Kaguya was the only speedbump and i wholeheartedly place blame for that at SJ's feet, for pushing Kishimoto to include sequel bait, instead of letting him end the story logically at Madara. as soon as the alien was outta the way we got right back to kino with the Final Valley fight, The Last movie, and the Boruto movie. Boruto sucks but that first movie is a fun 'victory lap' and has some incredible fight choreography.
>>527231392It was shit the moment Madara went 'Lol no, I cancel the cancelation of the technique keeping me alive. All this because I'm really mad Hashirama didn't respond to my love letter BTW and my entire clan has BPD'.
>>527230034>Pain' arc is literally just one fight, the rest is glorified fillerKakashi did not die fighting the Deva Path for you to downplay him like this. half the village was jumping Pain until Naruto showed up. you got a selective memory, lil bro.
If Goku was in Naruto, how would he fight? Would be from a specific clan or village?
>>527231752he would be a mix of might guy and minato
>>527231497>nooooooo!!! why does the Reanimation Jutsu have clearly defined risks and limitations!!! in a series where every Jutsu has limitations!!! it should be a Mary Sue Jutsu!!!
>>527231715They jumped him to be filler like I said. If they did jackshit and Pain took a nap until Naruto showed up, it would have went the same.
>>527231752He'd be from Kimimaro's clan because I wanna see what Goku would do with an ability like that.
>>527231818I'm not sure about that, Goku might be a martial artist but he never held back from diving into the mystical side of martial arts. Not as much as Roshi but he's still the most 'Cultivator'-like out of the main fighters.
So I don't think he'd ignore Ninjutsu and Genjutsu might even hold his interest as a form of mental strengthening similar to Image Training.
>>527228728This, If only he had passed right after BoG dropped.
>>527231919Anon, I'm literally complaining that you can just decide to not have the justu stop working when it should.
If the technique is canceled, how the fuck can you just decide to keep living anyway? That's the OPPOSITE of a limitation.
It's like if Goku just decide 'Nah, I'm canceling the Kaioken's canceling' and he just kept the power boost with no drawbacks.
>>527232136You already got your charity (you), you don't need to samefag.
>>527230684>Naruto went from borderline useless on his own in a fight to beating Gaara too fastI find it hilarious that his fight against Gaara was far more impressive than Sarutobi's fight with Orochimaru... Even more hilarious that while Naruto and Gaara were fighting, Sarutobi and Orochimaru were staring at each othe...
But yes, there's no real sense of progression with Naruto, he was that useless level 1 party member who suddenly jumped to level 40 to beat a boss. All after like one month of training.
>and then escalating even more with the Sasuke retrieval arc right away was too fast.How did it escalate even more? IIRC he was only really useful when using Kurama's chakra.
>I honestly think we should have had at least 1 more mission before the Chunnin Exam and then another mission between the Chunnin Exam and the Sasuke Retrieval arc.Agreed, it's weird that Naruto and Sasuke are basically brothers not related by blood, but all the time they spent together was: Kakashi's first training, Land of the Waves, Chunin exams, then they went their separate ways to train, only really met again when it was time to fight Gaara, Itachi showed up and put Sasuke in a coma, and after Tsunade helped him out they had a fight in the hospital, and then Sasuke left with Sound Four... It's just not that much time they spent together, might've been less than a month even...
>>527231259Yeah it had a bunch of issues. Temari not playing a role in it was pure bullshit, specially with how useless Naruto was on the arc itself, plus the excuse of not bringing more people is flimsy at best, because they could always have more than one team if having that many people was a real issue.
>Sasori was such a waste of a puppeteer, dude just had a swarm of puppet to spam instead of doing a more advanced and OP variant of what Kankuro did in the Chunnin Exam.Yeah he's a classic case of a character being way too powerful so he fights in dumber ways.
>>527215891>Toriyama introduced the most divisive character to spawn from the franchise.Pic unrelated, so who are you talking about?
>>527231752>how would he fight?Goku would casually crush most characters since so many of them leave themselves wide open.
Aside from that I'd see him more of a taijutsu kind of guy. Basically a better Lee/Guy. Maybe he would have an affinity for wind to use for positioning himself (Similar to how he used feet kamehameha to sort of fly).
Not sure about which village he'd be from, probably leaf, or maybe someone who got his parents killed in a previous war/conflict and was adopted by another village, like say, parents killed during Bloody Mist era, but for that case in particular he may have a Kekkei Genkai (Though not necessarily, since that era killed more than just people with Kekkei Genkai if Zabuza's background story is any hint).
>>527232017>He'd be from Kimimaro's clan because I wanna see what Goku would do with an ability like that.On one hand, the bones power is too creepy for someone like Goku to have. On the other hand, Kaguya clan is talked like they were warlords, so Goku being from that clan and not being a warlord would be fitting with the kind of character he is.
>>527232454>I find it hilarious that his fight against Gaara was far more impressive than Sarutobi's fight with Orochimaru...It's funny how Sarutobi somehow beat the first two Hokage only for Shippuden to make at least the first Hokage so stupidly OP, just his cells are a top tier power boost that can curbstomp entire villages and multiple Kages.
And make Sarutobi's panic at the fourth's coffin really funny because while strong, Minato is not even close to Hashirama's level given how hard Madara stomped everyone.
>Sarutobi and Orochimaru were staring at each othe...I wish we got to see more of Sarutobi's monkey summons honestly.
>All after like one month of training.That's the worst part tho, the training had very little to do with it in the end.
Like Naruto just used Kyubi's chackra to summon Gamabunta, he could have done that the exact same way right after signing the damn summoner contract.
Hell, just look at his fight with Neji. It really wasn't THAT different from how he fought Kiba, just kinda less pathetic.
Sasuke's the one that had a bullshit power up after 1 month of training, with his increased speed and Chidori but at least the dude had a more solid base to build upon with said training, Naruto still couldn't do shit outside of spamming clones and Kyubi buffs at that point.
>IIRC he was only really useful when using Kurama's chakra.He essentially became stronger than Sasuke at that point. With the whole Chidori vs Rasengan where Sasuke got BTFO'd which motivated him to fuck off.
>Agreed, it's weird that Naruto and Sasuke are basically brothers not related by bloodEven beyond that, Team 7 as a whole is treated like some super important and tight knit group when factually, they had like 1 real mission together.
Hell, Kakashi never even taught something to Naruto. Not one fucking move.
>>527232183that's part of the risk and limitations, man. it was clearly explained. you're not supposed to bring people back who are strong or ancient enough that they know what Edo Tensei is and how to flip it back on you, the user.
>>527232454>Yeah it had a bunch of issues. Temari not playing a role in it was pure bullshit, specially with how useless Naruto was on the arc itselfEspecially since Temari's AOE wind spam was a much better counter to Sasori's puppet army spam than whatever the fuck Naruto and Sakura were on about.
>Yeah he's a classic case of a character being way too powerful so he fights in dumber ways.Yeah, if he actually fought like a puppeteer with that many puppet, it would have been OP and very complex to show at the same time.
>>527232136i would've kept him around till Super Broly wrapped but knocked him off before Super Latino and Daipa turned the series into a self-parody.
>>527233314It's not a risk or a limitation, it's fucking bullshit, that's what it is. It basically turn that jutsu into an infinite free revive for anyone, even better than Shenron at that point.
>>527233536Why do you keep spamming this thread? Did your mom ground you for sperging out at your brother?
>>527233537>infinite free reviveyou would have to be a complete psycho to willy-nilly hand out immortality and infinite chakra. you're trolling. there's a reason it's a Forbidden Jutsu and not part of the fucking Academy curriculum.
>>527233109>On one hand, the bones power is too creepy for someone like Goku to have.Eh, depends on how you use it. Stuff like spawning and extending a bone staff, making bone knuckleduster / gauntlets to hit harder and throwing sharp bones are all rather un-creepy use of the ability IMO.
Hell, Kimimaro's weird spiral bone arm could make for a good replacement for Goku's Oozaru punch.
>On the other hand, Kaguya clan is talked like they were warlords, so Goku being from that clan and not being a warlord would be fitting with the kind of character he is.Man, I hadn't thought of that angle. That's interesting.
>>527233537You're overlooking the fact that people actually respect death and the natural order in Naruto. They're not playing pachinko with resurrections, barring one exceptional instance after Naruto beat Pain.
>>527233717So it's indeed some retarded limitless OP thing, thanks for confirming I was right and you were wrong.
>>527233124>It's funny how Sarutobi somehow beat the first two Hokage only for Shippuden to make at least the first Hokage so stupidly OP, just his cells are a top tier power boost that can curbstomp entire villages and multiple Kages.Sarutobi even thinks to himself he can handle the Hashirama and Tobirama just fine, it was Minato who would be a real problem.
Tobirama is also funny, since he used water jutsu exclusively, but by the time he returned in the war, he's basically a jack of all trades with some powerful jutsus (Edo Tensei, teleportation), and didn't use a single water jutsu.
>I wish we got to see more of Sarutobi's monkey summons honestly.Sarutobi is wasted potential yeah, since we never really got to see him using that many jutsu. Then by Shippuden he was a pushover and useless as a hokage back when he was alive.
>Like Naruto just used Kyubi's chackra to summon Gamabunta, he could have done that the exact same way right after signing the damn summoner contract.And the training itself was just Naruto trying to get Kurama's chakra to summon Gamabunta, of which Naruto didn't do any real progress until Jiraya had enough and decided to throw him off a cliff like he's Heihachi Mishima.
>He essentially became stronger than Sasuke at that point. With the whole Chidori vs Rasengan where Sasuke got BTFO'd which motivated him to fuck off.I see. Been a while so I forgot about those details...
>Hell, Kakashi never even taught something to Naruto. Not one fucking move.Yeah. While it makes sense that was the case given that he had to prioritize training Sasuke (Since fighting Gaara was life or death, Neji had nothing against Naruto), and at least, he got Ebisu to train Naruto, and later Jiraya took over. If anyone got the short end of the stick it's Sakura. Sure she was disqualified, but her going an entire month without training when she's supposed to be improving for the next opportunities is just stupid.
>>527234003>respectThey LITERALLY summon the God of Death as a supermove.
>Barring on exception of an entire village being given a free reviveSounds like a pretty massive exception for a world that respect 'the natural order'.
Also 'They wouldn't' isn't even related to what we're talking about, what's important is that they can.
>>5272341481/10, you got me to reply one last time
>>527233717>It's abusable ad infinitum but only bad people would do it ... okay? Dude, you could learn Eso Tensei, genjutsu someone into using it in yourself in a minute, slit your own throat and come back in seconds, undo the jutsu and become an immortal with infinitely regenerable chakra forever, the only way to stop you would be being imprisoned by a seal and that's something that could happen to you in life anyway so there's literally no drawback
>>527233109>Not sure about which village he'd be from, probably leaf, or maybe someone who got his parents killed in a previous war/conflict and was adopted by another village, like say, parents killed during Bloody Mist era, but for that case in particular he may have a Kekkei Genkai (Though not necessarily, since that era killed more than just people with Kekkei Genkai if Zabuza's background story is any hint).He could be a Sarutobi or adopted into the clan or a related clan, given the monkey association.
And that way it would give the Sarutobi an OP member because they really stand out as weaklings amongst the Hokage families.
>>527233124>It's funny how Sarutobi somehow beat the first two HokageOrochimaru didn't succeed at fully resurrecting them. Sarutobi got a Mickey win against suppressed versions of the first and second Hokage. if Orochimaru had fully resurrected them, they would've shrugged Edo Tensei off and kicked his ass. Just like Tobirama threatened to do when Sasuke fully resurrected them.
>>527234308Tobirama did spit water at high presure like a laser against Madara but yeah other than that Tobirama was basically a slower but otherwise objectively superior Minato.
>>527234341You could just admit you were wrong instead of that seething attempt at sounding sassy.
>>527234479Don't forget that seals aren't forever easier so unless people forever remind to protect / re-apply them, at some point you'll get out.
>>527234315>They LITERALLY summon the God of Death as a supermoveOne guy does that one time in the first like, 80 episodes. lol
>>527234613That's a retcon, anon, and you know it. Nothing from before the war arc even implied shit like that was possible or that the two first Hokage were infinitely stronger than the third and like 10 times stronger than the the fourth.
>>527234838Or you could just admit you don't remember what you're talking about.
>>527234838i know we're not throwing the word retcon around in the /dbg/ thread. didn't they just make a whole retcon anime for you niggas? LUHMAO
>>527234308>Sarutobi even thinks to himself he can handle the Hashirama and Tobirama just fine, it was Minato who would be a real problem.Yeah, I have no idea what Kishimoto was thinking when he decided to retcon those two into literal gods after dismissing them so early in the story.
>Sarutobi is wasted potential yeah, since we never really got to see him using that many jutsuWhich is especially a shame because he's hyped up as someone who knows a shit ton of jutsu, especially the powerful and forgotten ones.
Like an even more OP Kakashi...Who also only ever use like 3 jutsu so it's fitting I guess.
>Then by Shippuden he was a pushover and useless as a hokage back when he was alive.And Shippuden make him an asshole too, promising he'd raise Naruto only to stuff him into a fucking 1 room apartment and giving him so little money or supervision, he drinks spoiled milk like it's nothing.
>of which Naruto didn't do any real progress until Jiraya had enough and decided to throw him off a cliff like he's Heihachi Mishima.Yup so again, he could have done the same without the training since Gaara was also a life or death situation.
>While it makes sense that was the case given that he had to prioritize training Sasuke (Since fighting Gaara was life or death, Neji had nothing against Naruto)He didn't teach him any moves before or after that point either tho, that's the problem. It's not specifically about the 1 month, it's a general issue.
Kakashi taught team 7 like 1 thing: Walking on trees. That's it. Everything else, he only taught Sasuke.
>>527234923NTA but Sarutobi was called THE GOD OF NINJA like Hashirama, except he came later and was trained by both Hashirama and Tobirama, so yeah you would have to be crazy to think Hashirama could kill Sarutobi with a fart. But turns out he could. Because Kishi retconned it and the second coming of "the god of ninja" was a disfuncional 15yo teen in fentanyl compared to the first.
DB is the father of the Big Three. Naruto is by far the worst of the Big Three.
With these facts made clear can we go back to DB? This IS /dbg/
>>527234923Why would I 'admit' something that isn't true?
>>527235208Sorry, this thread is white only.
>>527228728>>527228910That's what Iyoku gets for pushing his button over Gohan instead of doing an all Piccolo movie.
Ask and ye shall receive, you'll get your funny blanco form, you analytics-obsessed goon.
>>527235440>With these facts made clear can we go back to DB? This IS /dbg/Answer my question of Goku in Naruto then. That's DB related.
Or would you rather talk about Goku in Baki?
>>527235519I'm very happy with my funny Blanco form and so is everyone that isn't terminally online.
>>527233392>Yeah, if he actually fought like a puppeteer with that many puppet, it would have been OP and very complex to show at the same time.I honestly think Kishimoto gave him a little too much. Sure overwhelming enemies can be fun, but even a small cut being deadly and Sakura barely having any cures relly made sure Sasori didn't use his strongest stuff that much. He was even particularly stupid to use so many his puppets "That can wipe out a country" at once, just have a few out at a time, replace whichever are destroyed, and win by attrition.
>>527234001>Stuff like spawning and extending a bone staff, making bone knuckleduster / gauntlets to hit harder and throwing sharp bones are all rather un-creepy use of the ability IMO.He's taking them out from his body, Kimimaro was even shooting bones from his fingers. Using a bone staff like any other staff would be fine but he'd have to take it out, unless he were to take it out offscreen but then it's kinda wasting the Kaguya clan schtick and giving him a bone shaped staff.
>Man, I hadn't thought of that angle. That's interesting.While I find the bone stuff to be weird for Goku to use, as far as background goes, Kaguya clan is the closest to saiyans in Naruto, and I never made that connection until this conversation.
>>527234537>He could be a Sarutobi or adopted into the clan or a related clan, given the monkey association.That could work too. Or at least, someone who was trained by Sarutobi (Since he did have Genins under him, and he could have trained more than just Jiraya/Tsunade/Orochimaru).
>>527234648I see, damn, I forgot a lot...
>>527235267>Like an even more OP Kakashi...Who also only ever use like 3 jutsu so it's fitting I guess.Characters were only defined for using a few jutsu, so Kishimoto claiming Kakashi and Sarutobi had a lot is just weird...
>it's a general issue.Agreed, after Land of the Waves it's just dealing with the next big threat and no downtime.
>>527235540>Or would you rather talk about Goku in Baki?I remember seeing a discussion about Goku's ability of sensing air currents to detect someone's position as a Baki-like ability, and how hilarious it was since apparently in Baki, characters have that as their entire gimmick, meanwhile, Goku had that as a side ability he only ever used twice (Vs Tien on the 23rd tournament and then many years later vs Yakon).
>>527235540If you change Goku's background to make him from a ninja clan he wouldn't be Goku anymore. I guess you could transport little Kakarot to the ninja world but we have like four autists who fight only with martial arts and the energy emited from those so just picture another Guy/Lee
>>527235882>characters have that as their entire gimmick,That's actually a powerup one of the convicts from the Death Row arc had to make himself blind and deaf to acquire.
>Goku had that as a side ability he only ever used twiceTo be fair, it's because at that point he has intention and energy sensing. Also he probably use it all the times in fights, it's just not mentioned because it's not some kind of super move, it's something he always does passively.
>>527235694>Characters were only defined for using a few jutsu, so Kishimoto claiming Kakashi and Sarutobi had a lot is just weird...He literally had Kakashi's big title be 'Kakashi of a Thousand Jutsu' at one point or something like that.
Pretending that transformations like Blanco, Orange, and Magic Super Saiyan 4 aren't pushing discerning fans away from the series is irresponsible. The "cool factor" of DBZ is evaporating. It's becoming super corny, and soon you're gonna look around and see the only fans still hanging around are the corny ones you don't wanna be associated with.
>>527236708DBZ has been corny since the era of Shop Da Woop and Piccolo Dick. Zoomers only like the series because of DBZA.
>>527235694>He's taking them out from his body, Kimimaro was even shooting bones from his fingers. Using a bone staff like any other staff would be fineThat didn't look creepy when Kimimaro did it. As long as Goku doesn't just have bones protruding from his body at all times like Kimimaro does, I think it would look fine enough.
>as far as background goes, Kaguya clan is the closest to saiyans in Naruto, and I never made that connection until this conversation.Me neither. Always fun to realize stuff like that.
Also it's so weird there's a Kaguya clan given Kaguya's the final big bad's name.
It'd be like having a OG DB bad guy talk about his 'Frieza clan'.
>>527236783DBZ was a tasteful balance of cool and corny. that's why cool and corny people liked it. modern Dragon Ball lost the recipe and they keep putting too much corn and not enough cool into every dish.
>>527236708You're not discerning, you're just an annoying sperg people shun.
DB's literally at its most popular.
>cornyHood weeb.
>>527235882A lot of big important top tier martial art skills and abilities in other manga are just shit Goku learned as a side ability back in OG DB ironically enough.
>>527237017what I meant is the fanbase interpretation of it, and how it influenced people's interpretations of it. long before rojo, azul, rose, and whatever most people's idea of DBZ was mostly TFS's satire combined with the "ironic homoeroticism" of millennial e-comedy.
>>527235694>Or at least, someone who was trained by Sarutobi (Since he did have Genins under him, and he could have trained more than just Jiraya/Tsunade/Orochimaru).Eh, the problem here would be there's no way Goku wouldn't instantly become his main teacher's star pupil, dude is just too good so there's no way he wouldn't get his own big title before Naruto is even born.
I guess you could make Sarutobi start training him around the time of Naruto's adventures but I don't think Sarutobi took in genins anymore at that point.
>>527237047DB's popularity peaked during the Tournament of Power. that's why the series hasn't won an industry award since 2019, and nothing they've released after has pulled comperable viewer metrics. Toriyama had to fucking DIE for this series to get a Mickey award in it's current state. you're wearing a blindfold.
>>527237354>DB's popularity peaked during the Tournament of PowerIt didn't, it literally has never made more money, get more views or made more sells than now. Any objective and verifiable metric says you're wrong.
Also if you think people here didn't have meltdown about 'Goku Blanco' ruining the franchise back during the TOP, you have Alzheimer.
Hell, DB's reputation has never been better. I remember the pre-BOG era where the consensus amongst normies and Anitubers was that DB was brainless without any character or plot.
>>527237538God, don't remind me. All those people who's only exposure to DB was TFS, BT3 and Raging Blast 1 and 2. Talking as if they knew the first fucking thing about DB.
>>527237538you have gotta get off SLOPlays Twitter, man. this echo chamber you live in where they insist Dragon Ball isn't cratering is unhealthy and unrealistic. IF Dragon Ball is making any more money today than it did 5 years ago, it's because they've got three times as many live service games generating revenue and because of their big push into the Chinese market. dudes were just in here the other day mocking Moro and Gomah for having less Twitter engagement than the Tournament of Powerโbut today DB is more popular than ever? you can't have it both ways.
>>527237841>The objective numbers reported by major companies is an echo chamber.Not how any of this works.
>Twitter engagement It wasn't twitter engagement, it was Twitter's trends, which just tell you how many times Twitter picked up a certain word being used.
Fucking Toriyama's death had less 'engagement' than twitter by that metric despite getting TV news coverage.
>>527238181>Fucking Toriyama's death had less 'engagement' than Daima on twitter*My bad
What would Goku's Fullbring be?
>>527238453The problem with Fullbringers is that they don't really have rules or themes IMO. You can just make up any power and call it a fullbringer, no?
Or I'm mixing it up with the quincy shit?
>>527235889He could always be from a ninja clan but not know about his lineage, so he grows up with the powers of that ninja clan (If he were to have a Kekkei Genkai) but without their influence, which is essentially his entire life as a saiyan. What is a harder sell of Goku living in Naruto's world is him going to school at some point.
>>527236428>it's just not mentioned because it's not some kind of super move, it's something he always does passively.I'm not so sure, he specifically mentions it when fighting Yakon, and he couldn't sense Yakon's ki because of majins having weird ki, and any other time, he only thinks of sensing ki. I chalk it up to him using an old, redundant power since it wasn't redundant anymore against Yakon specifically.
>>527236893>That didn't look creepy when Kimimaro did itI dunno man, it's not too detailed but he is opening his skin and taking bones from his body, it's a least a little creepy, even when he uses it as just weapon.
>Also it's so weird there's a Kaguya clan given Kaguya's the final big bad's name.Yeah, even weirder they're an offshoot of her without any of her other powers. Although Kaguya herself does have the bone power, she only uses it like, once? When killing Obito.
>It'd be like having a OG DB bad guy talk about his 'Frieza clan'.And this guy isn't relevant or barely talked about ever again.
>>527237241>Eh, the problem here would be there's no way Goku wouldn't instantly become his main teacher's star pupil, dude is just too good so there's no way he wouldn't get his own big title before Naruto is even born.Good point.
>I don't think Sarutobi took in genins anymore at that point.He seemed to be more or less retired until he became Hokage again, and after becoming a hokage he just wouldn't have time to train anyone... He'd have to be younger than Jiraya, but then I'm not sure of when Sarutobi became a hokage... "Part of Sarutobi's clan" would work better then.
>>527238689>What is a harder sell of Goku living in Naruto's world is him going to school at some point.He went to school just fine with Arale in the Dr Slump remake.
>>527238637That's how all powers work, Fullbring, Shikai, Schrift... They all are just different manifestations of one's personal power, the difference is that Shikai always involves a sword in some way and Fullbring just an object the person has affinity too, so you would have to think about Goku's abilities manifested via some item, like his gi, his pole, the 4th star dragon ball...
>>527238689>>527238813Also Itachi and Kakashi were both Jounins at like 9 years old so there are seemingly ways to skip most of school or mostly do practical stuff.
There are also seemingly guys who just go through a parallel system through their clans but still count as active ninjas somehow.
>>527238689>So he grows up with the powers of that ninja clan (If he were to have a Kekkei Genkai)Those are genetic, anon. You are thinking about the secret techniques some clans have like letting bugs living in your body or turning fat into strength and body size, those can be learned by anyone but are only taught to clan members.
>>527238872Good point but honestly I'm struggling to come up with anything interesting.
>>527238689>Although Kaguya herself does have the bone power, she only uses it like, once? When killing Obito.Technically, Kaguya has all the powers. All the ninjutsu and Gekkai Genkai you see in the franchise descend directly from her so she should be able to do it all.
I don't give a shit if its popular or not
DB iconic form is SS, a yellow hair transformation.
Super is doing a lot of cringe retarded shit. Some are good, but mostly cringe
>>527239241>I don't give a shitWhy are you talking then?
>>527239319Because you're arguing popularity = good
when its the farthest from the truth
>>527239196Unironically a good Fullbring concept for Goku or Vegeta would be recovering their saiyan tails and having a pseudo-SS4 (another one) since we know the Fullbring object can be a part of your body like your skin
>>527239241I agree that super saiyan should've stayed gold.
I wish Namekians got this "legendary dark form," from DBO, it's fucking cool.
https://youtu.be/eCm3TXrwT1k?t=157
>>527238689>"Part of Sarutobi's clan" would work better then.He could a kid the monkeys from Sarutobi's contract found inside a rock on their mountain and once he got to a certain age, Sarutobi noticed him and both he and Enma agreed it was probably best to have Goku join the village as a ninja.
That way you both have the monkey and monkey technique connections and the Sarutobi connections without stepping on the Sannins and Minato's toes.
>>527239363You're the one who started arguing that losing popularity = bad. Not my fault you had to pivote because it was shown that DB has GAINED in popularity.
Just pick a lane.
>>527239662Then why are you getting involved in a discussion you don't care about?
Nobody made the argument that popularity = good, we were just addressing the claim that losing popularity = bad and that DB was losing popularity.
Because I like to give my opinion, as this is a thread discussion retard?
Pink hair is gay as fuck
Same with purple and all other gay shit
>>527239423Goku should be a Bount because they are my favorite Bleach race and I wanna see Goku handle such a different kind of power.
>>527240013Luckily Goku can't be that shit because it's not canon. Turles on the other hand...
>>527239990>Having an opinion you want to shareSounds like caring to me
>>527239010True I guess... Although the biggest problem I should've realized before is that the ninja system has superiors ordering other people around to do missions for money and whatnot, things Goku doesn't care about since he lives in his own pace, doing what he wants, so he most definitely shouldn't be someone living on the village doing missions.
>>527239051>Those are genetic, anon.I know, I was saying "If Goku were to be from a clan with Kekkei Genkai, he'd have the powers but not the clan's influence", but I worded it poorly (Shouldn't have said "powers of that ninja clan" since I meant Kekkei Genkai when I wrote it).
>>527239543That's pretty good actually. Could also be used to keep Goku as a country bumpkin if the place Enma is from is more of a farm.
>>527240175I do not give a shit about canon. Goku will be a vampire pokemon master and that's final.
>>527240202>Could also be used to keep Goku as a country bumpkin if the place Enma is from is more of a farm.I'd imagine it's like the frogs's mountains and similar to Mount Paozu or Flower Fruit mountain given the obvious DB / Wukong inspiration.
>>527239423Wouldn't Goku just gain some color-fitting for Bleach version of Sun Wukong's full regalia as his maxed out fullbringer? Like how Ichigo got that white armor thing?
>>527240392That depends on the item I guess. The nyoibo would probably be Sun Wukong mode, the tail would probably dive more into saiyan territory
>>527240202>things Goku doesn't care about since he lives in his own pace,I mean, Goku isn't hard to convince to go on adventures, just look at how easily Bulma recruited him.
And it's not like Ninjas go on real missions daily outside of war time, they don't really act like a proper military and Goku wouldn't be given grunt work he wouldn't have interest in like guarding the gate since he clearly stands out.
>>527240392What's Goku's opinion on children card games on motorcycles?
>>527240496Does that mean the 4 Star Dragon Ball fullbringer would look like this?
should I be worried if Caulifla turns me on too much?
>>527240597He wishes he could fight the monsters.
I wonder what deck Goku would play.
>>527240558>I mean, Goku isn't hard to convince to go on adventures, just look at how easily Bulma recruited him.True. I was thinking on the more "serious" side of missions that involve politics, information gathering, money and whatnot, things Goku doesn't care that much (Although it's not like the few of Naruto's missions involved that much of those things either...), though I guess he would only be handled straightforward missions given that.
>>527240862He should go to Digimon and meet Masaru then
>>527240856Yes, that would mean you're straight, which is unacceptable for a DB fan.
>>527240914I mean, the higher ups aren't retarded, they know who to send on what mission, they're not sending Goku on anything requiring trickery just like they never sent Naruto on that kind of stuff.
The most Goku would have to do with politics would be to stand guard while people talk in case of an attack.
I guess they could send Goku on a diplomatic mission because they can trust he can defend himself if it turns out to be a trap but they'd know that what they're doing is essentially just pointing Goku in a general direction and telling him to go make friends.
damn its impossible to win solo in squadron if you have all braindead teammates
>>527241312Yeah, I had the same realization earlier, which is kinda frustrating given how braindead some people can be.
It's also impossible to beat Zamasu solo unless you're way overleveled.
>>527240856Kale is cuter, she's sweet and shy
>>527240749That's Vegeta's armor fullbring but with dragon balls instead of Bulma's bath bombs
>>527241428Is Kale a gypsie or just tanned?
>>527241428Its not just her looks...her entire personality gets me going too
>>527240914>>527241190There's also the fact that by Naruto standards, Goku is a survival expert and basically a Inuzuka-lite, which also make him a decent recon pick.
His ability to live off the land would also really limit his need to go on missions he doesn't want AND since more dangerous missions pay more, he'd unironically be getting pretty good cash every time he does one he prefers.
Hell, he could easily just live in the Forest of Death like that one fanfic I read once.
>>527241484Are you stupid or just drunk?
>>527241762>Hell, he could easily just live in the Forest of Death like that one fanfic I read once.That could be another alternate 'origin' for Goku in Naruto, some wild kid they just found one day in the Forest of Death, seemingly already accustomed to the environment.
You could even tie that back into why the Forest of Death was selected as the second trial of the Chunnin exam since now they basically had an expert who live there most of his life to help them out with planning it.
>>527241914Jokes on you, I'm both.

OTHERS = SHIT
>>527242743Bojack was fun.
Several days ago we talked about Hyourinjutsu's videos and how he used clones in the UI Goku x UE Vegeta fight, and how it didn't make any fucking sense. How it must just be apeing Naruto.
Today I remembered the multi-form technique. lol
>>527243167Nice feet.
I forgot to ask for Kale while filing out the survey, sorry.
>>527243356The thing is that the multi form is shit and make no sense for them to use it.
It literally makes you weaker.
It was even mentioned when we talked about it.
How it was used in the video was clearly closer to Naruto.
>>527243513Given that Kaioken exists and does just straight up let you multiply your power, I don't think it's a stretch that multi form could potentially be upgraded to not divide your power output
>>527241483Wouldn't Vegeta's armor just be a fancier version of his saiyan armor?
What would Goku's armor be like then?
>>527243513copies make you weaker in naruto as well
>>527243167my face belongs right there, on Kale's butt
>>527245151They cut your stamina, not your speed or damage output, that's why Naruto's rasenshuriken spam works.
In DB, it cuts ALL your stats.
>>527245151lmao no, you just consume some energy once per clone created but they all are identical to the original. Madara even made 25 clones and made them use Susanoo because the only weakness the techique has is that they drop in one hit, if you can't hurt them you effectively doubled your DPS
>>527246495>is that they drop in one hit,And even that can be alleviated with defensive stuff like a susano or a chackra cloak.
>>527244362It isn't, but until it's shown to do something like that or just tone down how much weaker someone becomes to the point the strength in numbers is a positive, it's not a good technique.
Although thinking of it, it could have a good utility, if you're overwhelmed anyway, you can divide yourself in two, and have one of the clones hide and try to charge a spirit bomb.
>>527247305>Although thinking of it, it could have a good utilityIt's an assassination technique, it's useful to get your killshot easier and quicker but it's shit in a stand up fight clearly.
One of Toriyama's best 'show, don't tell'.
literally who even likes daipa but the people who only praise it because it was the last thing tori worked on before he died
>>527247557And Tien was dumb enough to use it in a tournament, perhaps the worst possible place to divide himself. Even Goku tells him it was a terrible idea to use it.
>>527248193What would have even happened if Goku was actually pressured but managed to throw one of the bodies out of bounds? If you are out once ANY part of your body touches outside the ring shouldn't that be a loss even if other bodies are still in?
>>527248193Tenshinhan hadn't moved past the assassin shit completely yet I guess. Or old habits die hard.
>>527248402I think the tournament would be pretty forgiving as long as it's not the 'main' body that got thrown out. It's a technique after all.
>>527248575There was no way to tell them apart tho, even in the manga you aren't given an indicator of which one is the original once they first move. It's an equal split, after all, they all are equally Tenshinhan.

The amount of people who cant press a button within 10 seconds is insane.
>>527248159I think Daima is okay. Toriyama worked on it and added his own weird flavor to it (Hybis having the Third Eye, Tamagamis, Gomah, Kuu, more than one Third Eye existing and it's sold in a random shop, etc), but a bunch of issues prevent it from being good.
Tamagami#3 is a great fight though, the way Goku and him blocked, dodged, countered eachy other was just beautiful.
>>527249052After 3 times of that happening in a row, I'm taking a break for the day.
I wish you didn't have to pick attacker, tank and support in advance because I always end up picking Attacker to play Goku, my main, despite also wanting to play the other roles more.
>>527249121Don't acknowledge a scat poster, anon.
>>527246495friendly reminder this is an Edo Tensei Madara feat performed with unlimited chakra. it's not necessarily indicative of standard clone performance.
>>527249145>3Baby numbers.
>>527249469That just mean he has unlimited stamina like an Artificial Human, not that he has infinite stats.
>>527249596I'm just not very patient with that stuff
>>527249469Madara could create a Susanoo taller than mountains. You are insane if you think he couldn't create 25 normal sized Susanoo. It's still OP as hell anyway, the only weakness of the technique is that the clones die in one hit, and thus mixing it with a defensive technique makes it broken
this should be canon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjmXcYAFwTQ
>>527249615i didn't say he had infinite stats.
>>527250142If unlimited chackra doesn't mean infinite stats then it's irrelevant for the current topic since we're talking about how Multi-Form split your stats but Kage Bunshin No Jutsu just split your stamina, which is why one's useless in a straight up fight and the other is viable.
>>527217307It worked for decades. If they lose their prestige, they might change their business strategy, but so far they didn't have to. If there were only 20 mangakas that wanted to work with them, of course they would shift to having them produce the best work they can do. But as things are now, they can require certain standard and say goodbye to these failng to meet it. The inflow of talent is ongoing. If all you can do is modest success, it's better to make way for someone else to try to create a truly popular work.
>>527252373>It worked for decades.It hasn't, they don't use your retarded idea.
>>527247305I liked how it was used in the manga
>>527253724And that was...
>>527249121Shame how Tamagami #2 and #1 were so underwhelming. 3 had the most character, best fight. Heck in #2's fight the Kraken did more damage to Bejita.
>>527251440alright bro, you got it, whatever it is. lol
>>527259374I don't even remember the third one. I just remember the fat one with the hammer and the one Vegeta went SS3 against.
>>527261513Tamagami 3 is the one with the hammer
tamagami 2 is the one with the tridant and the one Vegeta fought against
tamagami 1 is the one with the most screen time with the saw sword
It's a pity we never got to see them together i'm rather curious if Neva made them himself and how he did that, honestly Daima left a lot of things on the table, it's a bit of a pity we'll never see those characters or that location again in future stories in the super era or post end of Z just like we'll never see the results of Black Freiza, Controlled Super saiyan Broly or Piccolo and Gohan's new power either. Ah, Toriyama why did you have to take a bob saget? now the corporate folks are fighting and your family couldn't care less to settle it because they'd rather live on the forever royalties doing their own shit than get involved. We'll never see more super saiyan 4 canon either or super saiyan 4 laced with ultra instinct
Okay, I'm trying gekishin and I'm guessing the technical characters are just random shit they couldn't fit into the DPS and tanks
I said I wanted Android 21 in the Gekishin poll. Sorry bwos.
>>527263912Nothing to be sorry about. You did good.
>>527263627they're support roles like buffing you, healing you, krillin can basically plant mines and hit you from a very long distance with the scatter kamehameha, i wanted to play as frieza but i hate support roles hopefully he gets final form that transforms to golden that's DPS or tank
>>527263912Seems likely anyway, same with Towa.
>>527228728The fact "people" defend this and say it looks good is ridiculous
>>527228728I don't care if this is Toriyama's vision, this Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta looks like crap. Raging Blast did it better.
>>527262428I feel bad that you typed a sincere reply to my post, I didn't even watch Daima, I'm a fraud.
>>527243513 Cell can make clones at equal power to himself with only stamina drain in the Anime
>>527243513I think cell's multiform is also perfect and the clones have no power weakness, only stamina which isn't ever going to be an issue for him either
>>527262428I thought Neva was going to make them combine like MumBoh-JumBoh in DQ
So for Gekishin Squadra let me get this right
- normal capsules are to unlock recolors
- sg capsules for emote, mvp, etc.
- zeni mostly to upgrade heroes
- dragon gems for premium skins? (although you only get 250 in the beta, enough for the premium pass but is it worth it?)
are there any other uses for the currency aside of listed?
>>527263912would be cool if her gimmick was having a changing moveset when she transformed, would give some use to being able to choose when you transform beyond the free heal/invulnerability
>>527263912>>527279897I think she would work like Mew from Unite where you can choose between different skills for each tier and make a custom moveset.

>>527289645Meh, I can beat Freeza and his goons pretty easily with DPS and tank. Krillin is the best technician. Set everything to manual, if you use auto you're really gimping yourself.
>>527292424>Meh, I can beat Freeza and his goons pretty easily with DPS and tank.It's not a question of beating them, it's a question of Dodoria going back and forth at high speed with just enough AOE to stop you from hitting the GoD with Gekishin attacks.
>>527292365Based, hope you win.
>>527292593They're very, very easily beaten.
damn the other squadron mods suck ass lmao
so all the guys with the cool shiny skins paid for them, right? because i don't see any way to get more gems currently
>>527293606Again, beating them isn't the issue, the issue is that they deny you GoD damage
>>527295042You can't pay for gems yet, they probably got lucky on the gacha.
>>527295841for like what, seconds.
>>527296047Nah, under the max level skill rule, it last for most of the GoD timer if not all of it depending on how long you took to reach it and when he dropped Dodoria.
It's kinda funny how Goku's big stomp is his best move by far.

I just tested the territory mode, it's neat, more combat focused for those that don't like to bother with crossing the map every time.
>>527303896Toriyama designed and invented Bra
>>527303896Even if he didn't make GT, he designed the Earth cast. You'd think, when asked to make older versions of the characters, he'd scale Pan and Bulla with each other, not randomly make one so older-looking. It's just funny, is all.

>>527320380The current ratio does not back up your point very well.
>>527256849The two guys who became the strongest of the universe fight and the good one can't keep up with the other. The good one decides to split into multiples copies and it looks like he made Tenshinhan's mistake of dividing his strength but it's actually a plot to make the bad guy focus on them so when he's beating the clones the real one shows up charging up an attack, reabsorbs the clones to get his full power back and shots him off-guard. He still feels the damage the clones got so it's a pretty suicidical strategy but at least someone managed to make good use of the multiform

Goku is the main character, Chichi isn't. Champa is a tertiary character, Vados is also one. Your comparison is shit.

>>527327619>Champa is the one with the tournament arcNo, he isn't. U6 as a whole is the one with a tournament arc. Champa does nothing that whole arc and Vados basically set up the whole thing.
>They have more chance because....I said so!So they don't have more chance and Vados would 100% get in before Champa
>Your comparison is actually good unlike me!Thanks I guess.
>>527327723>Really?Yes. Now keep getting bullied.
>>527327823Champa literally started the arc. The whole tournament was HIS idea. Remember? Did you even watch Dragonball?
>>527327924>Remember my shitty edit?/dbs/ is that way.
>>527327895I'm enjoying your tears, go for it.
>>527327991So you really didn't actually watch it. I don't know who told you that Vados set up the tournament so that you wouldn't actually have to watch the show, but they lied to you.
>>527327995Sure, fat furry fag, you're totally having fun getting lynched, I'm sure that's why you're squealing and raging.
>>527328127You're loudest sobber hasn't even watched Super in the first place. That's the best "lyncher" you can find?
>>527328095>So I have to make up a bunch of nonsense to try and change the subject because Vados would indeed make it before ChampaNice to see we all agree now.
>>527328215>the literal plot is making things up
>>527328190>You're loudest sobberTry again but in english, fat furry fag. I know you're about to have a heart attack from all the bullying but it's not my problem.
>>527328286>Muh plot of Gekishin Squadra!!!Completely mindbroken.
>>527328418You mean the plot that basically invalidates both Champa AND Vados and yet you think she has a higher chance anyway because muh duck. Completely retarded.
>>527327686For pure blooded saiyans maybe, and Goku did take a while to get his growth spurt, but even then, Gohan grew at human rates, and when we see future Trunks before future Gohan was killed, he did look like a teenager.
If there was never an intention of full blooded saiyans and hybrids to have different growth rates, then at some point Toriyama imagined saiyans growing up normally (Though again, Goku did take a while to get a growth spurt) but then changed his mind. Either way, point is, there are clear contradictions with this whole "Saiyans don't really until they hit a certain age" since future Trunks and specially Gohan grew normally.
And all of this becomes even weirder with Bulla, since Toriyama did design her in GT, and she's around the same age as Pan, yet looks like a teenager, but she's not even 12...
Marron in DBS makes all of this far funnier since she never aged past 3 until Toyotaro's Super Hero adaptation, and there's no saiyan DNA within her to excuse this...
>>527328532>Yet you think something completely logical for a valid and obvious reason everyone agrees on!Yes, that's called being right, you wouldn't know about it.
>>527328405>english*Fixed it for you, fat furry fag.
>>527328681No, you didn't.
>>527328676>literal who side character who never contributes anything>completely logical
>>527327619>Champa is the one with the tournament arc,By that retarded 'logic', Zeno would have made it before Caulifla.
>>527328829Zeno isn't a GoD. Speak when an angel gets in before any GoD.
>>527328812>My weaker side character that never does anything except get mocked is totally better!Character fags are so funny when faced with reality.
>>527328625At some point you realize there is no lore answer and Super was made with very little attention to detail. Far less love was given to it than it should have gotten.
>>527328727I did, just like you did get bullied.
>>527328993Yes, he is indeed better. Good observation.
>>527328812>>literal who side character who never contributes anything>Champa out of NOWHERE
>>527329037You're making an attempt at least. I think.
>>527329131>out of nowhereI see that goldfish memory is working for you again.
Playing Squadra. Want team. I play tank. Caulifla..
>>527328926>Zeno isn't a GoD.And?
>Only keep pointing out I'm wrong under my random retarded conditionNo. You said Champa should get in before Vados (never ever happening, she's 100% getting in before him if any of them does) because he technically was the co-organiser of a tournament.
And yet the same would apply to Zeno, so your argument doesn't work.
>>527329042>Snarky gay reply not even trying to deny Vados has indeed more chance to get inThat was easy, damn.
>>527329290>And?And he's not relevant to the discussion.
>No. You said Champa should get in before Vados (never ever happening, she's 100% getting in before him if any of them does) because he technically was the co-organiser of a tournament.The actual point was that Champa was the actual catalyst and the reason for the arc. Vados stood on the sidelines and watched. An actual equivalent comparison on your side would be "Zeno's guard will get in before Zeno."
>>527329134>You're making an attempt at least.I'm actually not, it's just that easy to correct and bully a fat furry fag.
>>527329131You made him mad with that one.
>>527329437Well, you'd probably know I already know she has less of a chance if you could keep more than 1 post in your memory. I didn't think I had to remind you every single post?
>>527329532>I'm actually notOh. Are you gonna start? I thought you said you were already bullying me.
>>527329460>And he's not relevant to the discussion.He is since he has his own tournament yet a participant of said tournament made it before him, which make your Champa argument invalid.
>The actual point wasI am talking about your actual point and your point is both wrong and presented in a way that doesn't work.
Just say you like Champa more instead of having a meltdown just because people think he's even less likely than Vados to make it in.
>>527329036Oh yes, I'm aware, DB has weird retcons all around because Toriyama changes things on a whim. DBS is just a continuation of that.
>>527329290>>527329460You guys could compare the rate of which Champa and Vados are playable in other games and see which one is ahead.
>>527329690Did you try reading more than 4 words?
>>527329607Why would I start trying for something I'm already doing without even trying? Fat furry fags make no sense.
okay why the fuck did you guys start sperging out over fucking champa of all things
>>527329753You're not doing anything.
>>527329769Upset waifufags that Vados has no chance. That's all.
>>527329542>I didn't know I had to keep defending my dogshit argument in a discussion!That's some next level retardation
>>527329885>having to keep reminding you of something everyone already gathered and remembers is "keep defending"
>>527329872>You're not doing anything.And yet you're still getting bullied.
>>527329769Fat furry fetishist is having a meltdown because someone voted for Vados on the Squadra survey for new characters.
>>527329769>Naruto talk yesterday>Champa vs Vados todayThreads is unpredictable, if anything.
>>527329993>And yet you're still getting bullied.I'm waiting to actually feel bullied.
>>527329970>Not changing the subject after getting BTFO'd on a point? I never heard of anything like that!Sounds like you just know Vados would also make it before Champa.
>>527330107Nobody changed the subject, you just forgot the basic topic and thought it changed.
>>527330083I think your uncontrollable crying is a pretty obvious sign.
>>527327312Gohan only looked taller to look cool in that part of the arc, after the Cell Game (in the lookout) Gohan looks tiny again, shorter than Krillin, who looks more like a midget than in the tournament too, basically the same as 7yo and 8yo Goten and Trunks in the next arc. And no future Trunks didn't grow up differently either, we canonically see him looking taller than kid Trunks but shorter than adult Trunks ONE single day of his life and it's in the same year as the last time we saw present Trunks as a kid so that just tells us the year Trunks starts growing into his adult-self, the next time we see both version of Trunks he's already a saiyan adult just like Gohan was in the Buu arc.
>>527322343We have never ever seen a 11yo Gohan.
>>527330195What an odd thing to say after crying to me that I voted for Champa.
>>527330182>Nobody changed the subject,Yeah because you got smacked back on topic, you still tried because you know Champa has no chance compared to Vados's already slim chances.
>>527329872>Vados has no chance.More of a chance than Champa, that's for sure.
>>527330325I was the one who already told you that Champa doesn't have a chance first. But thinking that VADOS has a higher chance is hilarious.
>>527330373Like this for example. Hilarious.
>>527330291Nice to see the bullying is giving you brain damage and making you imagine stuff that never happened to cope now.
>>527330441We wouldn't even be having this conversation if I imagined that up. This started because I asked for Champa.
>>527330424>Calls everything hilarious>Is clearly madGod, that's sad.
I LOVE seeing schizos fight! These are the same two people that call you a retard in every debate btw.
>>527330559>says hilariously stupid shit>thinks I'm mad about thatGod, that's...still hilarious.
>>527330578i swear they fight over legitimately fucking everything
>>527330518There is no conversation, you're just getting mocked, the consensus has long been reached that you were wrong and Vados has a better chance than Champa.
>>527330424>I was the one who already told you that Champa doesn't have a chance first.Yeah, even less of a chance than Vados.
>But thinking something obviously true is hilarious.It's really not.
>>527330710Have you tried asking somewhere that isn't full of retarded waifufags?
>>527330626>How dare you say I'm mad! I said hilarious 30 times while crying! Stop it!Lol. Lmao. So mad.
>>527330712The same repeated cope as before. Again, Vados isn't getting in before Champa does. There's no universe where that happens. Either neither one gets in, or Champa gets in first before Vados does.
>>527330765>Muh waifufags!At least you're aware you're all alone dying on that retarded hill.
>>527330853>I said ur mad 30 times while this only started because of how mad I am that you dare say Vados has less of a chance than Champa in the first playNot fooling anyone.
>>527330867>The same repeated cope as beforeWe noticed.
> Again, Vados isn't getting in before Champa does. Reality, basic logic and everyone that isn't you say otherwise.
>There's no universe where that happensExcept this universe where she'd 200% get in before Champa if he gets in at all, which is even more unlikely than Vados.
>>527330913>Coping is more fun with a friendCope away then.
This should end the debate
>>527330937>No u, stop disagreeing when I say stuff that's wrongDamn, you got even madder?
>>527331016>We noticed.Did you? Because you seemed to have trouble remembering more than 1 post before.
>Reality, basic logicYou don't have logic.
>Except this universe where she'd 200% get in before Champa if he gets in at all, which is even more unlikely than Vados.Says the guy who hasn't even watched Super.
>>527331097Have you tried disagreeing without being mad?
>>527330241Friendly reminder hybrid saiyans do grow faster than pure ones. Gohan was a midget but by the time he was 16 he looked like an adult (Boo arc), same for Goten (SH), and Trunks wasn't shown as a grow up until his 17 (also SH) but we know his growth spurt hit him in his 14. Meanwhile Goku still looked like a kid at 19 years of age
>inb4 no he was.. He was canonically 19. Read DB Minus.
>>527331107>Did you?Yes, we all noticed you just repeated your cope in an attempt at a do over.
>You don't have logic.Reality, basic logic, this argument and everyone except you say otherwise.
>Random non-sequitur about his shitty attemptAt least you don't even try to deny the truth anymore.
>>527331028>Everyone but me is coping!Lol. Lmao.
>>527331091I don't think he can count.
>>527331189I don't think you're capable of that.
>>527331310>RealityThe reality is that neither one is one. What reality are you using?
>At least you don't even try to deny the truth anymore.Why do you keep forgetting shit from 1 post ago
>>527331315Nothing post.
>>527331406I'm not the one who initially got upset at me saying Champa has a higher chance in the first place. You are. Your turn.
>>527331416>The reality is that neither one is one.Did you have a stroke while writing that?
>I didn't stop coping, you just forgot!You're getting CTE from getting slapped around so much.

>>527331597Did you have a stroke when I said Champa has better chances and that's why you keep slamming your head against the keyboard?
>>527331503>I'm not the one who initially got upsetYes, you are. You're literally the only one upset in this discussion.
>>527331657Ooh. Or else what?
>>527331634Champa is the name of a historic country so of course it will get more searches due to sharing the same name. You're retarded.

>>527331754Goldfish memory post number 50 from you.

>>527331882>Okay, you won and I have no counterpoint so I'll start crying about some fanfic I made up about you!So Vados indeed has a better chance to get in than Champa.
>>527331967>I'M A HISTORYLETNGMI nigga. Thanks for the concession.
>>527331882Cool to see even you realize how retarded what you said is.
>>527332071You indeed will keep coping.
>>527332114I'm only realizing how retarded you can get with every post.
>>527332045>Because you told me to shut up.Because you said you had nothing to post. Shutting up is just the logical thing to do there.
>All this fake aggressionThis is cringe.

>>527332538Ask yourself.
>>527332549Vadosfags haven't even watched Super yet think she's the main character. Proof they're the biggest retards.
>>527332552Are you just saying random shit in hope people think you were only pretending to be retarded and stop bullying you?
>>527332628I'll take that as a 'it feels awful and make me cry, stop asking'.
>>527332686What "random shit"
>shut up!>or else what>SO RANDOM!!Dumbass.
>>527332728We're reaching new levels of delusion previously thought impossible.
>>527332628Did you just imply Champa was DBS's main character? Is your caretaker aware you're online?
>>527332770So that's a yes.
>>527332853Did you just imply you can't read?
>>527332852Finally some self awareness from you.
>>527332927It's actually a "What random shit"
As in what, confused your dumb ass so much that I now have to explain it to you
>>527332943No, I didn't do that, now answer the question.
>>527333039So once again, that's a yes, you're saying random shit in hope people start thinking you were only pretending to be retarded.
>>527333050>I didn't do that>but Im gonna misread "Vadosfags think Vados is the main character as Champa is the main character anyway"Uh huh.
>>527333159No, once again, I'm asking what "random shit" I need to explain to your retarded ass. I'm asking what confused your single digit IQ so much that you think what I said was "random."
>>527333162So you won't answer the question.
>>527333249I'm not confused, you've been quite obvious.
>>527333275It's a no for anyone with common sense. You'd already know if you watched Super but I expected nothing less from someone who thinks Vados made the tournament.
>>527333320If that was true, you wouldn't think me telling you you're not taking your own advice was "random shit."
>>527333438>If that was trueIt is true.
It is random shit because my advice was about you stating you had nothing to post, which doesn't apply to me because I never said I had nothing to post.
The anger is frying your peanut brain.
>>527333354>If you attribute to Vados what I attribute to Champa, you think she's the main character!So you are indeed implying he's the main character. What a delusion.
>>527333614Hence my response about your conceit, which completely confused you and you thought was "random shit." Be honest, you completely forgot what you were even talking about.
>>527333617You already lost back in
>>527327823 when you said Vados made the tournament. Everything up till now has just been fluff to see how far you can make up that Vados is a prominent character.

>>527341529This place is a little too hugbox-y but I like how they discuss fanfics and other media I'm interested in.
How would Goku fight if he was in One Piece?
>>527345409Ever heard of Monkey D. Garp?
>>527267000Shes cute I should play her game someday because it doesn't seem like xenoverse 2 is ever gonna have her she got any doujins?
>>527345836I don't really see Goku fighting like Garp, Garp is really too brute-strength focused.
>>527345836To add to that, given Goku's apetite he would 100% end up eating a devil fruit just like Luffy did then it just depends on what fruit. A Saru Saru no Mi: Model Wukong would be the most fitting one obviously
>>527346178>A Saru Saru no Mi: Model Wukongwhy does this shit sounds gay
>>527346041I'm talking about the power system. Would would keep his usual style, but in terms of abilities he would just use his guts (Haki) to beat the shit out of others like Garp does, unless he ate a fruit accidentaly.
>>527346178>>527346319Goku could just use one of the many magic martial arts of the setting too.
Like Jinbei with his Sharkman Karate or the CP9 with their Rokushiki.
>>527346178A monkey Zoan type sounds more like Vegeta's thing since he was the one to actively weaponize Oozaru IMO
>>527347208Vegeta gets the normal monkey zoan and goes apeshit. Goku gets the mythical Wukong fruit and fights graciously
>>527341529The fact this got multiple
>NU-UH!replies and a boogeyman allegation almost immediately only serves to reinforce the point.
>>527343473I only prefer this thread 'cause it doesn't move at lightspeed.
>>527345409Generally I like coming up with stuff that's pretty different from what Goku usually use for questions like that but I can't think of anything in One Piece that's too different from what Goku usually does while also making sense or being interesting.
Like make him a weapon user and it's just him using his nyoibo as usual.
Can't make him a sniper or ranged guy, that would be more Vegeta's thing with the ki blast spam and wouldn't make sense for Goku.
I guess he could have a devil fruit but I can't think of an interesting one that make sense and making one that just give him the usual saiyan power kit is boring.
>>527347383>The fact me shitting my pants in public got multiple people to point and laugh at me just prove I'm smart/dbs/ is that way. Your shithole is calling for you.

He's literally the only character that does anything for like half the story.
wasn't bamco supposed to do a survey to ask players what they wanted to see in S0? whatever happened to that?

Not even a single Tamagami but Panzy is in? Anyway, once they're in and people want to try them out, it would have been a good moment to put a survey up.
>>527383178It won't even tickle a fraction of the momentum the game had in the first two or so months after launch
>>527383412Well, it won't, but there was no hope for that anyway. The question is where to time survey factoring in when you will even have hope of addressing any issues.
>>527383178they definitely did Panzy because she doesn't have anything too flashy and because she's a small character modelโespecially compared to the big ass Tamagami's.
>>527382598but enough about the U6 ""Saiyans""
>>527381929absolutely. its crazy how much he has done for the modding scene
For real, should we expect Sparking Zero's DLC2 to finally add a new stage? Third Demon World, because holy hell advertising SSJ4ku and Gomah on plains/mountains is going to be so off.
>>527319962This plus a skinship minigame with other Dragon Ball characters.
>>527390198No. They never implied anything about new stages. No point in setting yourself up for a disappointment.
>>527355012>>527356163i'd assume the main reason it's not coming out now is because they've got a lot more characters to put in and cosmetics to add so it's profitable
i mean fucking cell and final form frieza aren't even in yet, never mind all the easy bucks they could make by adding videl, kefla and other women
plus with the whole gekishin burst mechanic getting added they're clearly actually trying to rebalance through these tests and aren't just teasing us with them
Frieza is so fucking fun in Gekishin, so much map control
>>527380523That's not how video games like Sparking 0 work, it's not a live service, people pick it up, play occasional and then pick it up again when a new DLC or update comes out.
Everyone who has Goku as a favorite character is mentally 12
>>527405582Everyone who doesn't have Goku as a favorite character is a redditor trying to feel special and grown up.
>>527405715To be fair, they ARE special. Special needs that is.
look i'm just saying if you don't appreciate YOU WILL KNOW THE HORROR i don't appreciate you
Does Goku ever say 'You are courting death!' in the chinese dub of DB?
>>527405715>CHADdit out of the ETHERWARPED and mind broken
>>527406108Keep the /dbs/ speak in /dbs/, please and thank you.
Get on Gekishin now, they gave away 500K gems, you can buy everything in the game now. I'm gonna bully people with Hawaian Goku.
>>527409163oh shit thanks for the heads up
>>527409725You're welcome.
What's Bulma's favourite Vegeta?
>>527413657The one that beat up Goku
>>527414027So none of them?
The fact I spent 100K gems already and I don't have everything in the game is INSANE
>>527414538Goku has been beaten by rival Vegeta 3 times. This is known as the "3-0".
>>527415524That hasn't happened and nobody knows that as anything.
>>527415805Vegeta fags can't make up their mind on if Vegeta is some poor little guy always getting shafted and who needs a win or if he's some undefeated giga chad battle god.
>>527415292yeah these rates are abysmal, i dread to think what it'll be like when the pool expands
>>527264773I hope you get final form Frieza in a role you like but personally I'm very happy they gave me a version of him in a more tactical role. For me the fun of these games is playing the objectives and not so much the fighting so I'm having a blast zooming around the map with Zarbon and Dodoria and farmer with a shotgun
>>527416980The premium coin or whatever for the animated outfits are the WORST, I spent 100K+ gems on the gacha until I had nothing left to pull but still only had enough for two of those outfits, it's insane

Frieza first form power level
Future Gohan is going to make it in. Right? As a Tank, right? Since he tanked the Androids solo for like 10 years. Right?
I'm an amerifat who started with DBZ, so to me, Gohan is the main character. He is introduced to the gang on Roshi's island, where everyone on screen knows each other, except Gohan and the viewer. When he gets kidnapped, the show keeps going back to him in the pod. He's the one who breaks Raditz' armor and start the real opening. The training arc is a mix between him, the humans, and Goku. Goku spends most of his training arc running on snake way. Gohan powers up from a 4 year old to a kid who is literally the third strongest on Earth (Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, the humans). Piccolo dies for him. He comes back to save Goku, he fist fights Vegeta, he oozaru's vegeta, and he literally is the one to actually hit Vegeta with the Spirit Bomb. Namek is literally about Gohan until Goku goes SSJ. Goku spends nearly the entire namek arc training or in a rejuv pod. Android saga and Gohan is the mentor to the brand new character and ends up taking center stage at the end, obviously. What is Goku doing for over half of the Cell arc? In bed screaming in pain. Buu arc opens with Gohan, but Toriyama wrote him like a fucking loser so he lost popularity and they shifted away from him being the MC. GT isn't canon. Movies aren't canon. Super is canon but it sucks so I just ignore it. Daima isn't canon.
I never really liked Goku. He spends most of Z Training, Dead, or Recovering. He doesn't really have much character to him either, in my opinion. The only times Goku ever has character in Z is when he asks to spare Vegeta and when he goes SSJ, the rest of the time he's just some guy who donkey stomps a character others struggled to even scratch, then he barely scrapes by with the final boss. I tried watching the sub, but I just can't deal with an old granny trying to sound like a little kid voicing a 50 year old alien man.
>>527424605They should happen on that scale because holy shit, the rates is insane.
>>527424560canon is a deadword nobody cares
>>527425423Don't acknowledge retards who started with Z.
>>527390198>For real, should we expect Sparking Zero's DLC2 to finally add a new stage?You mean DLC3.
DLC1 didn't add any.
DLC2 didn't add any.
I wouldn't expect DLC3 to suddenly incorporate the things some of us wanted all of a sudden.
We don't have a reason to believe that it'll have more than some characters, custom battles and PERHAPS some costumes.
>>527424560This but I watches the original anime, read the manga, and hate both Goku and Gohan
>>527424560>>527425651Great, you're both faggots, now get a room.
>>527425651>Why yes, I watched 100+ episode of Goku's adventures following him almost exclusively but I hate himTsundere.
>>527426319Im the amerifatt, and I really like kid goku. I just dont much care for adult goku.
>>527426319No Goku is just boring. You've seen everything he can do after 519 chapters.
>>527418253Orange and Green soon
It's a shame they didn't give infinite normal capsules too, I wanted to get all the alt outfits too
>>527431627these are just recolors
that's why the caps are free
>>527431818>these are just recolorsYeah but I want everything unlocked since I have everything else with the gems
>>527432236just play bro its closing in 10 hours with data wipe anyway
>>527429436>"NOOO! STOP!!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOSE TO ME!!!!!">the seven Vegeta souls:
>>527434319but could vegeta beat the roaring trunks?
>>527424605Cheeky bastards.
>>527423427Sooner or later but not necessarily at launch.
My overall thoughts on Gekishin is that it was fun but it really need something to keep coming back, maybe a story or something.
Also more maps.
>>527424560>I'm an amerifatStopped reading right here.
Why the fuck couldn't sparking zero get these costumes
18's model is the worst one
she looks great everywhere else but the playable model looks off, it's the face specifically maybe not enough spacing between features of placement or something
>>527444412yea they gave us her super shit
>>527444412Looks fine to me
>>527444301It's almost like SZ has real fighting game gameplay and over 180 characters
>>527444301Sparking's selling point is the number of characters.
Gekishin's business model is selling you shiny outfits for your characters.
So they distribute their ressources and focus accordingly.
>>527445175>real fighting game gameplaylmao you can't be real
its simpler than Gekishin
>>527443757>maybe a story or somethingwhy the fuck would a moba need a story
>>527446020Read the full sentence and you'll know.
The game feels like a mobile game desu
they just put a version for steam and consoles early enough
>>527446420yeah and my point still remains, why the fuck would you need a story to play a moba
the full sentence doesn't change that, it just implies you can't play a game if there isn't a story
>>527446464It IS a mobile game.
>>527446583What point? You asked a question and I told you my full sentence already answer it.
>>527446864anon i'm not gonna start a big argument over this shit just because you want there to be one
every other moba game doesn't need a story for people to 'keep coming back', i don't see why gekishin would randomly be the exception
>>527447208There's no big argument, you asked a question and I answered.
If you think that a story wouldn't make you come back, that's irrelevant to what you asked and is just your opinion.
>>527446020To give a reason to the player to keep coming back to play the game.
>>527445535This game will have multiple times the characters currently shown at launch.
y'know i don't know why i even bothered to ask
>>527447728Yeah, it was pretty dumb to ask a question that was already answered in the original post.
>>527447650Where did they say that?
>>527447650source: my ass
You ever thought of playing FighterZ online and gone "Nah, there's no overarching narrative as to why I'm fighting FukVidelDesuRabuRabu so who cares"?
>>527445986Gekishin isn't a fighting game, anon.
>>527449084FighterZ online has been dead for years and it wasn't a free game that is dependent on long term micro transactions to stay alive.
Also you had to specify online because FighterZ does have a story.
>>527449084>You ever thought of playing FighterZ onlineNo. I'm white.
>>527449084I play DBZ games to try and recreate fights from the anime as closely as possible, and to come up with cool hypothetical fights. I like any DBZ game that lets me do this, and tend to not like ones that don't. I do not like the 2D fightan because the fights are too small-scale. you're on a tiny arena, and a Solar Kamehameha only knocks the opponent back four feet. I should be able to send my opponent flying back a mile, smashing through mountains and levelling entire cities.

>>527444301for what it's worth, it looks like all Gekishin has right now is the one unique alt for everyone and then one fancy recolor of that unique alt. they haven't totally blown the doors off the barn yet. and i don't really want Rue 21 ass galaxyprint.gif textures on costumes in Sparking Zero anyway. lol
>>527413657So does this confirm that Ultra Ego doesn't change Vegeta's hairstyle?
>My last game of Gekishin was a MVP game
I think I'll leave at that, ending it on a high note.
Why does Gekishin have to be a MOBA? At least Legends has PVE as half baked as it is. I just want to goof off with my favorite characters, recreate my favorite attacks, and bully the computer.
>>527464114Most MOBAs let you play solo with a team of bots against other bots, I hope that'll be an option.
At least bots have an excuse to be braindead, unlike the legit toddlers I've played with.
>>527413657Her fav is blue. The 3 wives in SZ were commentating about the hair colors.
With heroes death I feel like the desire for stories with Dragonball died or rather Shueisha smothered them with a pillow
>>527464114its nothing like legends
its a mobile moba
>>527464592Nah Toei DBZ movies are better than what nu-toriyama writes unironically
Super and Daima are great. Just as good as Z and OG. 4chan just hates everything.
>>527466507You're retarded
They're utter dogshit
>4chan just hates everything.No I just have my opinions. I like the non canon (Z broly, Z Bardock) better than their canon versions too.
Buu arc, which is (or was at least) disliked. Is among my favorite arcs ever.
>>527466959Case in point.
>>527464592that's how i feel. Heroes was the only thing i was seriously checking for anymore. i don't care about Toyotaro Ball.
>>527466959You sound american. It's the cholesterol and lead paint in your brain talking, not your own opinion.
>Buu arc, which is (or was at least) dislikedLiterally nobody dislike any Z arcs outside weird internet bubbles.
>>527467490You sound like a spic. Super is a cash grab of cashgrabs. Anyone who likes that shit is soulless
>Literally nobody dislike any Z arcs outside weird internet bubbles.That was a common opinion back then. You must be a zoomer.
>They took away my Japan only arcade card game, that was truly the only DB story people cared about!
You faggots can't be serious right now.
>>527467714So you are indeed an american just repeating what the lead in his brain is telling him. THAT'S soulless.
>Yeah bro, it was totally a common opinion that 1/3 of a beloved anime was badIt really wasn't, you just got your opinions from a retarded bubble.
>not enjoying an obvious cashgrab with the most shitty writing is soulless
The Buu Saga oscillated between 80 and 90% approval and had similar viewership to the Namek Saga with no decline.
Numbers don't lie.
>>527468112>Muh shitty writing, Reddit told me about da plotholes and da retcons!Man, boomers really need to pay for all that lead in the amerifat's brains.
>>527468319It's microplastic now, not lead.
>>527467903The Buu arc drags on super long and runs contrary to Dragon Ball's own themes while simultaneously being a huge narrative mess. It starts and ends in such completely different places it is effectively not the same story any more by the end.
>>527469082You can have your opinions and critics, just stop pretending it's somehow a popular and widespread view of the Buu Saga. The Buu Saga has similar ratings as the rest of the show on basically every website that record that kind stuff.
>>527469464I am of the opinion (fact) Namek was the peak and Androids started a long decline in writing quality.
>>527466959Z Broly and Super Broly are essentially different characters. i don't think you *have* to prefer one over the other. especially not now that Toriyama's died before doing anything else with Super Broly. what's the difference between Z Bardock and Super Bardock, though? they seem pretty similar to me, based on the Broly movie flashback. unless you mean Super Bardock from the Granolah arcโin which case that's probably fair, i don't read the dog water manga and wouldn't know.
>>527444412the white recolor is way better than the mono pink
>>527467725such is life when both continuities have become procedural fan-fiction tier. i'd simply rather follow the one where GT, the movies, and Super are all utilized and coexist. plus Xeno Goku reminds me of my FUARKING hero, Toonami Goku.
>>527470465>what's the difference between Z Bardock and Super Bardock, though?Nothing except Bardock didn't have future vision in Minus and just kinda figured out he should edge his bets because Frieza's a suspicious asshole.
They even end the same way, blasted by Frieza after rampaging in an attempt to stop him.
just force toei to release the 16mm film reels for all Z and movies
>>527470739>such is lifeIt's really not tho. Almost nobody outside of Japan gives a single shit about Heroes, let alone its story so it ending has 0 effect on anyone's opinion or desire for DB stories.
I have no idea how you came to such a bizarre conclusion.
>>527469709And that's a stupid opinion you're entitled to hold.
>>527469464the series' ratings factually peaked on Namek.
>>527471053The two highest rated episodes of the entire franchise are Goku going SSJ in the Namek Saga and Vegeta doing the final atonement in the Buu saga, both with a 9.4 score.
>>527471279and what's the saga average?
>>527471279Trunks's debut episode is 4th.

>>527471403Let me try if I can see averages by sagas, imdb only has per episodes.
>>527471053So did the series' writing quality. Notice how contrived everything after Freeza is. The next Arc literally starts with Androids made by an old man on a technological backwater planet in a cave that can bully Super Saiyans
>Why did no one make Androids to overthrow Freeza?>Why did Vegeta's characterization change completely from Namek?Two of many questions that won't get answered ever.
Then the Buu Arc is even more contrived (anything involving Shin for example) and goes on for way too long with too many unnecessary elements.
>>527471478That's for Japan tho, where OG DB is the most popular. No way the RR army arc is more popular worldwide than the Namek saga.
>>527471661>Why did no one make Androids to overthrow Freeza?Because they weren't smart enough nor had the technology, Gero was a super genius that had stumbled on a technological gold mine powerwise.
>Why did Vegeta's characterization change completely from Namek?Cause he got his ass beat and had to spend 3 years on Earh.
>Two of many questions that answer themselves if you're not retarded and watched the show*Fixed it for you.
>>527471478this pretty much confirms that Namek was the most consistently watched Z saga. the only outlier being the Cell v Gohan hype when everyone thought Gohan was going to inherent Goku's legacy. when he didn't, the ratings fell through the floor.
>Start talking about Z
>4chan hates it too
See? 4chan hates everything, their opinions don't matter.
>>527471887>[HEADCANON]Didn't ask for that. Asked for statements in the show.
>Cause he got his ass beat and had to spend 3 years on Earh.Namek Vegeta wouldn't have spent the one year on Earth before Freeza came without causing a ruckus. He was the strongest one there and was unstoppable. He definitely would have wished for immortality.
>>527390669Skinship with Champa?
>>527471982>this pretty much confirms that Namek was the most consistently watched Z sagaIt does the exact opposite actually, it literally shows it got completely molested by a Buu saga arc and the android arc.
>the only outlier being the Cell v Gohan hype Literally rated lower than the Android arc. Cell is below both the Android arc and the Namek arc.
>>527471887>Gero was a unique genius who invented what nobody else couldseries never says this, Frieza force has arguably more advanced tech
>Vegeta had to stay on earthno he didn't. he chose to stay on earth. which is the point the other anon was making; Saiyan or Namek-era Vegeta would've simply taken the dragon balls and made his wish to be immortal during the year when Goku was fucking around with the yardrats.

>>527472225Saiyaman Saga lasted for less than a dozen episodes and isn't a part of Buu. it's immediately set in the aftermath of the Cell Games, where Gohan became the most popular character in character polls. Buu saga is literally the lowest Z saga on that list. learn to read.
>>527472303>series never says thisIt both say and show this, even Super Hero re-mentioned it.
>no he didn'tYes, he did. He had an objective and to fulfill that objective, he had to stay his ass on Earth

>>527472508>Saiyaman Saga lasted for less than a dozen episodes and isn't a part of BuuAnd yet has higher rating than the Frieza saga and is very much part of the Buu Saga
>Immediately setLiterally a 7 year time skip.
>It's the lowest despite having the highest spot>Please forget Namek being below both it and the android saga with Cell being even lower below.Man, the Namek saga was such a downgrade in writing compared to the RR arc.
>>527472635It literally shows you a Cyborg Frieza reconstructed by alien tech get fodderized by Trunks just before he goes 'Those artificial humans made by that Gero scientist? I can't do shit against it', what the fuck did you think it was supposed to imply?
It's literally there to introduce that Gero's tech is even better than the best Frieza had.
>>527472840Anons are all for 'Show, don't tell' until they are faced by the most basic 'Show, don't tell' narrative out there.
>>527472840Hold on that's interesting, I never noticed that detail before. I knew it was there to meant to compare Freeza to the androids but didn't think about the tech comparison.
>>527472673>very much a part of Buunot according to the TV ratings which segregate them.
>timeskipyou're an idiot, we're talking about TV ratings. the show didn't take a hiatus, a few weeks apart the end of Cell and the beginning of Saiyaman. for the manga, it was literally the very next chapter.
>>527473245Mecha Frieza's whole deal is both super interesting and a master stroke because it introduce several things to the audience in a way where their brains don't even realize they received new info.
1: It introduce that bio-mechanical bullshit exist and does it through Frieza, an alien, something audiences wouldn't question having such tech due to genre conventions long established.
2: It introduces the idea that such Bio-mechanical bullshit can make you stronger by itself, with Frieza being confident he can beat Goku now.
3: By having Trunks curbstomp Frieza before immediately talking about being unable to beat the Androids, it introduce the idea that Gero's tech is better than Frieza, in a situation where the viewer is already prepped into accepting sci tech bullshit.
That way, by the time the Androids actually show up, the viewers don't even question why and how they are so strong, at least not until the story is long over.
I don't know how much of that was luck and how much of it was a conscious decision by Toriyama but I always found it fascinating.
>>527472225>It does the exact opposite actually, it literally shows it got completely molested by a Buu saga arc and the android arc.can you read? higher is more viewership btw
>>527473368>not according to the TV ratings which segregate them.It also segregates Cell from the Saiyanman arc and has it lower than the rest.
>you're an idiot,Cope.
>it was literally the very next chapter.Just like the Android arc was the very next chapter of the Namek Arc, that doesn't mean shit here.
Also I checked and those are the Japan only TV ratings.
>>527473730>can you read?Yes I can and that's how I see the Android arc above the Namek arc and the Cell arc.
>>527473245>but didn't think about the tech comparison.The most telling part is how Frieza says his new body is stronger thanks to the reconstruction or however they phrased that. That put the emphasis on the tech rather than Frieza himself, who we already knew wasn't shit to a SSJ.
>>527473681Fuarkkk this is incredible story telling. I refuse to believe Toriyama was some lazy guy who got lucky. He was a humble genius.
>>527474753You don't stay lucky for 519 chapters while consistently innovating in terms of paneling and genre conventions.
Hell, even his work flow that he called 'lazy' had other mangakas being like 'How the fuck is that even possible? How does he do it?'
Being able to deliver a high quality chapter just in terms of drawing after procrastinating most of the week is NOT something you can normally do, you'd end up with scribbles at best and yet Toriyama did it regularly.
>>527473859https://www.kanzenshuu.com/episode/dbz/
episode-by-episode breakdown of TV ratings. early Cell saga had a ton of low-rated episodes, once Goku starts his fight with Cell they start climbing with the peak hitting some of the highest-viewership episodes in the series being when Gohan goes SSJ2 and beats Cell. do you know how averages work?
the highest-rated episodes in the Saiyaman Saga are when Gohan is acting like the protagonist of the series, and when Nahare+Kibito first namedrop Buu before the audience knows anything about him. once Buu the character joins the cast, the ratings fall off a cliff.
>copeyes you are.
>that's the Japanese ratingsyes. your original argument was that "only Americans think the Buu saga sucks", well Japanese TV ratings say the Japanese believed the Buu saga sucked too.
>>527475023too bad he lost the touch at super and anything modern
>>527475534Too bad your mom didn't swallow.
>>527475505>do you know how averages work?I know averages don't work by having 'Bigger hype' for a saga less people watched.
>once Buu the character joins the cast, the ratings fall off a cliff.You mean like with the Cell saga?
>No uCope harder.
>well Japanese TV ratings sayIt doesn't say that at all tho.
>your original argument was that "only Americans think the Buu saga sucks"No, it wasn't, my argument is only a mini internet bubble your amerifat ass is in thinks the Buu saga sucks, which is the truth, as shown by every metric possible.
Literally nobody in Japan has anything against the Buu Saga, they just love OG DB more than Z in general.
YOUR cope argument afterward was 'Everything after the Namek saga is less popular!' only to instantly get cucked by a Buu saga arc and the android arc, both being above the Namek arc.
>>527475904Cell is above Buu saga in ratings.

>>527476317>Cell is above Buu saga in ratings.And the Namek Saga is below the Android saga and both are lower than a Buu saga arc.
>Lowest ratedIt's technically the highest or at least on par with the Android saga by average.
>You completely curbstomped me so I'll just shut up nowThat's a good bitch, know your place from now on.
>you at for everYou lost so hard, you had a stroke.
>>527472508>Saiyaman Saga lasted for less than a dozen episodes and isn't a part of Buuno way, dude. everything after Gohan ages up to High School is Buu Saga.
>>527476620You indeed don't deserve to live. Glad you noticed.
>>527476672not according to the TV data, and most people generally don't group them either for the same reason Androids and Cell tend to be considered separate sagas.
if you want to group them together, then we can do that, but remember that the rest of Buu is 72 episodes so their significantly lower average outweighs the highs of the Saiyaman episodes. quick and dirty maths raise the average rating from 18 to the high 19s or low 20s. somewhere between Cell and Saiyan Sagas in terms of TV ratings. in other words, it becomes the second-lowest rated saga only beating Saiyan Saga.
>>527476994>most people generally don't group them eitherThat's a bold faced lie. 99% of people just consider DBZ to be the Saiyan / Namek arc, the Android / Cell arc and the Buu Saga. Nobody consider Gohan's bullshit it's own arc.
>>52747711020 < 24.
And that's a good bitch, eyes on the ground and everything. Keep not daring to reply.
>>527477135Saiyan saga is considered it's own saga too. I've seen people split Frieza from the rest of Namek.
regardless, the point was Buu is consistently considered the low point of Z for popularity and quality. Japs like Majin Buu the character but didn't care much for the saga he appeared in, as we can see from the fact that the majority of the highest-viewership post-Cell episodes are the ones before he's even introduced.

>>527477606>I've seen people split Frieza from the rest of Namek.A micro minority that doesn't matter, almost everyone just cut DBZ in 3 and call it a day.
I've seen people say Raditz was his own arc, doesn't mean they aren't niche as fuck.
>regardless, the point was Buu is consistently considered the low point of ZNo, it wasn't, your point was that everything after Namek went down in popularity and quality.
And both version of your 'point' have been pretty thoroughly debunked by this thread.
>>527467490>>527467903Buu arc is dogshit. Fat buu is the only good part. The gag manga parts aren't funny at all. Goten shouldn't exist. Fusion is a waste of time, and if it wasn't a lame enough asspull, there is a second time wasting fusion that does nothing as well. Toriyama did not give A SHIT when he wrote buu, he wanted DB to end already.

I want a DB equivalent of Pokemon Shinobi
>>527473681Man I know that Freeza was fodderized so the androids are clearly the bigger threat, but I never considered that it was also a way to say that Gero's tech was superior too...
>I don't know how much of that was luck and how much of it was a conscious decision by Toriyama but I always found it fascinating.Toriyama was very good at "invisible themes", so to say. Like may you take them subconsciously and that helps in making the world develop organically. It shows issues if you think about them more still, but the way he does such things is impressive.
Freeza himself benefit from this since Toriyama made the claim that he's the strongest in the universe believable. Androids are stronger than him but they're all recent creations. Dabura is stronger than him but he's from another realm. Buu is stronger than him but he was sealed.
>>527474753>I refuse to believe Toriyama was some lazy guy who got lucky. He was a humble genius.He was either humble or just not aware of his talent (Much like Goku himself). Like he used to claim that him doing entire chapters on the weekend showed how lazy he was, but other people learned of this and though "How the fuck did you make an entire chapter in a weekend?!".
DB has the benefit of being his world. Other shonen make their stories to follow specific shonen clichรฉs because they're expected and whatnot, but Toriyama was making a shonen back when there weren't any clichรฉ to follow (Though Toriyama did follow his own clichรฉs, but those are patterns of his writing style and not copying someone else for the sake of it). We even have something like Goku sort of realizing he's a crutch for everyone else, and in Buu saga he actively tries to make everyone else go on without him because he can't keep saving everyone since he was dead at the time.
>>527489342>but I never considered that it was also a way to say that Gero's tech was superior too...As said above, the telling part is that the focus is on the power boost from the tech, rather than Frieza's own power since we already know it was below a SSJ.
>Toriyama was very good at "invisible themes", so to say.Yeah, his writing style is extremely natural somehow.
>It shows issues if you think about them more stillIf a story need you to think back on it for years to start showing issues, the author already did a perfect job.
Especially 99% of 'issues' is just people looking at it from the wrong angle or having missed something.
>Freeza himself benefit from this since Toriyama made the claim that he's the strongest in the universe believable. That's something I always appreciated, they always throw in something to say whatever post-Frieza threat didn't count back when Frieza claimed to be the strongest (Vegeta's own claim aged poorly in comparison, dude was just bullshitting and knew it).
>>527478127He wanted to end it for most of the run, it means nothing. He was having a blast with it, at least early on. As he apparently got tired of the Buu fight in the end. But it's not the same as not giving a shit.
>>527490325>As said above, the telling part is that the focus is on the power boost from the tech, rather than Frieza's own power since we already know it was below a SSJ.Thinking of it, this "theme" is something the characters don't comment on, since only Freeza knew he became stronger because of his own tech, but he was otherwise killed too fast for the rest to even learn he became stronger, so later on, they only comment on Trunks being strong enough to kill Freeza, with no mentions of any enhancements.
>If a story need you to think back on it for years to start showing issues, the author already did a perfect job.Eh sometimes the issues aren't hard to notice, Goku blowing up Cell's upper half only for Cell to regenerated, and then it turns out Cell can be killed by destroying his head, makes his earlier regeneration a massive plot hole.
>Vegeta's own claim aged poorly in comparison, dude was just bullshitting and knew itVegeta's own claim can't even be excused as him bullshitting it since he was thinking to himself.
Vegeta's and Freeza's relationship overall is a weird retcon that I didn't even notice how much of a retcon it was for years. Back when Raditz showed up, he talks about the saiyans like they're self employed, and when Vegeta leaves for Earth it's treated as him leaving on a whim with neither him or Nappa commenting how this is an act of rebellion, this combined with Vegeta's thoughts where he thinks he's the strongest in the universe, while later on he's very well aware he isn't, should make all of this be obvious retcons, yet, since those moments don't get too much focus on, the retcons aren't too noticeable. (1/2)
>>527490325(2/2)
Also, even while retconning, Toriyama changed character reactions based on the new information. Back when Freeza as a concept didn't exist, Kaio talks like Goku training with him will be enough to defeat Vegeta, and while Goku was ultimately weaker, he wasn't that far below him. But by the time Freeza was created, Kaio constantly says nobody should ever fight Freeza, even after numerous power ups, so while both Vegeta and Freeza at different points had this "I'm the strongest in the universe", Toriyama changed Kaio's reaction to Freeza compared to Vegeta to really make it clear Freeza is far, far more dangerous.
Another case of this is SS3. Goku claims he'll go all out against Vegeta but then doesn't, which is why SS3 is so clunky when it's suddenly introduced, but even then, SS3 has the drawback of using too much energy, somewhat excusing why he didn't use it on Vegeta Goten and Trunks didn't respect him at all before he used it, but after it they do respect him.
Basically at his best, even while making retcons like these he kept making the world grow and advance in organic ways, which is something I've come to appreciate.
>>527462521Haven't you seen the panels? The bottom back changes
>>527492561>and then it turns out Cell can be killed by destroying his head,That's not what happened tho. What happened is we learned that he has a nucleus in his head that can keep regenerating even if everything else is destroyed, it doesn't negate the rest of his body's ability to regenerate nor do we know that Goku destroyed that nucleus to begin with.
Blowing up someone doesn't mean you destroy every molecule of the part you blew up after all.
Since people are talking about the Mecha Frieza thing, it's kinda funny that Toriyama kinda did the same thing in reverse with Raditz and the Saiyans.
With Mecha Frieza, he used established stuff to justify a bunch of unrelated shit later on.
With the Saiyans, he used a bunch of pre-existing unrelated stuff and used them to establish something.
Goku's tail? He's an alien! The Oozaru? It's their super weapon, which is why even untrained kids have a chance to destroy planets. Goku love fighting? The Saiyans are a warrior race! The whole shonen MC thing where they get back up stronger? That's actually a zenkai, a racial ability.
None of that shit originally was connected but then it was all taken together to form the Saiyans.
>>527494460Yeah, that complaint was always retarded. When Cell blew himself up, his head was destroyed to. It's jist that the core survived.
>>527494676Oh and also: Goku is a lost orphan with no clear origin or ties to anything or anyone on Earth? He's actually from Space and his family just decided to come looking for him now.
>>527494686>When Cell blew himself up, his head was destroyed to. It's jist that the core survived.Exactly.
The one who could be killed despite his regen by destroying the head was Piccolo.
But then he regen'd from getting broken into pieces by Dabura, I don't remember if that was explained.
I guess getting stronger and getting more energy to fuel said regen helped get rid of the weakness? That or his head was relatively left in one piece by chance? I dunno.
>>527494460Sure, but the problem is that Cell didn't regenerate from some stray part of his head that was blown away by the kamehameha, he regenerated from his torso, making it clear that the nucleus on his head wasn't thought of at the time.
