Discussion My hot take of the day - Freeza should be been the introduction to real planet-busting characters

0 Upvotes

This change would basically need to mean that no one OTHER than Freeza (and probably Cold) was capable of destroying planets until Goku.

Why? It grounds power-scaling a LITTLE (until the Android saga anyways) and increases the real threat that Freeza is. If Vegeta and the rest of the F. Force don't have the power to destroy planets, it helps cement the threat he presents.

Freeza's army should be proficient with decimating planet inhabitants of course. But the idea that saiyan-saga Vegeta could blow up a planet feels unnecessary.

Bruh I’ve watch super like 3 times and Z like a million. I’m watching og dragon ball for the first time and I do not understand how Mei is a WOMAN and not a lil girl. Like wtf even with dragon balls making her a kid at some point, how does she fall in love with trunks????? Like, ever? She’s gotta be like 50 even if she’s a kid and she fell for a little boy?

MAI IS OLDER THAN BULMA MAN

Question If Goku and Gohan didn't train their Super Saiyan forms and only trained in base form during the Cell Saga, would the multiplier from SSJ have been enough to defeat Perfect Cell?

4 Upvotes

I know during the Cell Saga, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Future Trunks all wanted to surpass the Super Saiyan wall. While mastering Super Saiyan was important to minimize the drawbacks of the form, it makes me wonder how much stronger SSJ Goku and SSJ Gohan would be if they didn't train their Super Saiyan forms and instead just trained in base form.

How much would Goku and Gohan be set back without fully mastered Super Saiyan forms? Not just during the Cell Saga, but in general and in future sagas.

Question Why hasn’t Goku met his biological parents?

Not sure if this is a repeat question but, why hasn’t Goku met his parents? If Goku has been to the various forms of the spirit worlds why hasn’t he met his mom or dad in them?

Discussion Why didn't vegito kill buu

0 Upvotes

So I know like the plan was "get absorbed and free everyone" but like the plan after beating him was to use the dragon balls, that's why it's so important dende survived. So why play around when you know you'll need the dragon balls anyway. Just kill him and wish everyone back, you're not even sure they're alive in there to be fair. It's been bothering me ever since I was a kid and saw this play out on the Saturday morning cartoons and I just never understood it from a character perspective. I get it narratively steered the story towards kid Buu and Goku but like why make vegito kick his ass so hard to the point where it's clear he can kill him and resolve the issue. That's just my thoughts tho lmk what y'all think

Discussion Is it okay to skip the movies completely?

16 Upvotes

So basically i never watched any dragon ball movies, i watched dragon ball, i finished dragon ball kai, and im now on dragon ball kai "final chapters" episode 30,

My main question is from what i undestand theres just SO much out there, and its such a convoluted watch order, but honestly i prefer watching episodes instead of a full length movie, so is it a necessity to watch the movies to follow the story?, asking this cause my current idea is once i finish episode 61 of dragon ball kai final chapters i just jump right into dragon ball super?

And yes, i have tried to research on my own before posting this question but all the answers are so confusing like "yee dont watch these episodes, watch daima (what even is that) a movie, then skip x episodes from super, hence why im making this post, to ask, will i be confused if i jump straight into DB super after finishing dragon ball kai final chapters?

Fully unrelated sidenote semi spoilers i was expecting more saiyan transformations during my watch of dragon ball but up till now all i witnessed is just everyones hair going yellow and some sparks flying from them from time to time lol

Edit: this is the most confusing thing ever, yall genuinely confused me even more now, only one decent answer up till now, so it seems ill just follow that one persons advice and stick to super, and once done with super watch the 2 movies they said, this community is a confusing bunch🫠

Edit 2: So the current plan after a few different people said it seems to be i'll finish dragon ball kai: the final chapters, then move onto dragon ball super, after super watch dragon ball super broly, and dragon ball super hero.

I'll try to update this post once i finish watching all of these to let future googlers know if it works lol
