Didn't Vegeta almost killed Goku in their first fight tho?

Like if Krilin, Gohan & Yajirobe weren't here, the dude be ded, right here and there.
Yeah, they both almost died that fight, though in Goku's case it was mostly because of the Kiaoken doing a number, where Vegeta nearly died after the Spirit Bomb doing a number on him. However, one could argue that Nappa killing 4 of the Z-Fighters could have changed the outcome of that fight.

I will say, it's crazy how durable Vegeta was then, and then every subsequent arc he gets handled with no effort

Hope you feel better soon.

...And apparently I can't actually write a thoughtful post without being treated like dog****. Excuse me if this is why I've been tempted to leave the forum forever. I don't tolerate that. I don't see any legitimate reason why I was ever replied to like that. Yes, one person was ****posting. And they responded reasonably to say effectively say "eh, really don't care that much about the subject" and that's it. Whereas suddenly I'm mocked for having a non-****post? The hell?

Grow up, people. Cause I'm sure as hell done with this thread. I thought it had gotten better, but I was wrong. Clearly you can't actually have a decent conversation anymore. Good riddance.
...Uh.


I don't think they were mocking you.

Like yeah it wasn't perhaps done in the best way, but I think they were just joking here.

Vegeta definitly was a crazy mothertrucker before,. Dude could take & deal alot of **** because the power levels weren't too crazy back then, atleast, compared to what it eventually become.

....power levels are bull****.

School is finally over for me! I just barely passed my math class :happysheep:


A decent chunk of the teachers(including the one who runs the MTG club) are leaving and/or retiring, which is pretty sad. I hope the MTG club survives, would be a shame for that to go. I know at least one of the other teachers plays MTG, so it's not impossible to continue doing it.

I said it before and I'll say it again:
Power Level were possible the worst idea in the series and were a disaster to Dragon Ball as a whole.

Like, in the Super Manga, Roshi was the one to teach Goku Ultra Instinct, he told him to remember all his previous teachings from all his previous masters, and gives him one final lesson on how to move with ease

Poetic, his first teacher ever was also the last one to teach him how to align all his senses to the max.


And all the fans focused on was the fact that Roshi dodged like 3 of Jiren's punches. Like damn did Power Levels ruin ANY discussion DB can possible have.

Didn't Akira back then put power levels as a joke? Like to show how useless trying to read power levels via scouters really are when peoples can just hide their powers & power-up when they feel like it?

I think I heard something like that about the Frieza saga, but sadly, if that's true, peoples took it way too seriously and decided to keep power levels discussion after Frieza & Goku showed how trivial it really was.

Know I'm in the DBZ talk but just posting this:


Not one to usually care about stuff like streaming wars as much but seeing Amazon looking to buy one of the most well film studios in the world is pretty concerning.

**** sake Amazon can you just keep to being a shopping site and that's it?

I mean, Power Levels were always useless given that these big bad 1m power levels still lost to the power of family and friendship. Even Krillin, who was definitely the weakest of the Saiyan and Namek arcs, was able to actually inflict some damage against characters seemingly out of his league when it came to protecting Gohan.


Sadly, all power levels led us to in the end was the Goku and Vegeta show, even though they were phased out.

can't be the weakest when Yamcha is around

Yeah,big power level =immune to all attack from very weak opponent did no favor for the story balance.

Like Krilin was able to cut Frieza tail with a Kienza, and there was a BIG difference of power here.

If anything, despite many peoples liking it or calling it the last good saga of Z, the Cell Saga introduced a ton of big problems that the franchise would never be get away from. (Such as bull**** regeneration powers that make the main vilain unable to die for a very long time. Super Sayian outside of Goku and level above SS that make the human cast even more useless/weak, Goku not really adding much at this point since his arc is complete, etc..)

What I find interesting about the Android Saga is that a good part of it didn't involve the saiyans: a huge chunk if it revolved around Piccolo, Krillin, the titular androids with some aspects of Vegeta. Goku was out, Gohan didn't get his development until near the end, Trunks was just an exposition dump until Cell arrived, and everyone else was useless.

And then Semi-Perfect Cell came and suddenly it was the Saiyan Show again

I don't know the abstraction of your case, but I'm sorry that happened to you. I think with my time of the old FGC arcades, post SRK to the mid 2000s, there were uncomfortable times for me, because your situation have me reflecting on people that would relentlessly mock me for personal gratification and being different. It was clown show, with the overly masculine old guard, and basement dwelling mentality.

Overall, bits and pieces of the past may be directed toward you from a defective mindset that was never needed to begin with.

What 4chan rumor? The crowd cheers one?
No, there was another one talking about Mario + Rabbids 2 and Rayman in smash. Probably fake unless a M+R sequel exactly as described is announced.

I don’t really like the crowd chant theory because it means Cinderace is out meaning I can’t watch M MooMew64 scream himself into the void.

Is Silksong in it? We have confirmation that the publisher won't have any announcements for E3.

What’s crowd chant theory?
The theory that the remaining character won’t have names that are different in other languages, because then they’d have to record different crowd cheers for each version. Because of COVID restrictions or something.

Doesn’t make much sense to me, seeing as how Pyra has different names in other languages. But y’know.
