if Gohan and Piccolo have a comeback, this might be pretty interesting.

also, a plus is that Piccolo has always been my fav characater and Gohan is my brother's fav character of the series.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I wonder if Frost

Spoiler

is a literal alternate Freeza or what the deal with his race is in Universe 6. Obviously he didn't care enough to (or couldn't) enslave the Saiyans, but his bio still lists him as emperor.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Gohan finally got good character development by wearing his own god damn clothes to a fight

hope they don't mess him up

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

So what everyone except most of the time Goku does.

every protag in DBZ is a fuccboi except Goku most of the time

Well only Gohan has the honor of losing his status as the strongest Z fighter by doing absolutely nothing for years, and the sad thing is he did it twice.

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm on episode 20 and I still can't believe what I just saw:

Toei, that was a fucking open layup. And you got an air ball. Literally the easiest filler you could do. Filler that would actually be interesting for the viewer, instead of just fucking stretching out a fight like you did with Goku vs. Beerus.

But nah, fuck thinking of new shit. Just take the movie and stretch out what's already there rather than writing something new.

Literally fucking baffled. They could have EASILY done an episode or two of Freeza's training and that would have been so interesting and different. EVERYONE I talked to coming out of Revival of F had the same criticism: "It felt rushed. Why didn't they show any of Freeza's training?" Dragon Ball Super is the perfect vehicle for filling in some of the blanks from that story. But nah.

Fuck Toei.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

They padded out the wrong movie. Shame BoG came first. I wouldn't be surprised if the Super adaptation got bad reception in Japan.

 

[Slaythe]

I'd appreciate a team A avy if someone could hook me up. Only preference I have is that it be SSJ Gohan. Something with him crying or screaming in pain with some text saying I lost would probably work good for this bet.

This is honestly some delicious crow. I simply lost hope in Gohan doing anything significant. Much happier with him training.



Yup, pretty much. Love Cabba aesthetically. This guy/gal just reeks badass.

I wouldn't exactly call Goku vs Freeza stretched out like the Beerus fight.

 

[bigosc2k]

Well I'm going to need a Gohan avatar, and a bet is a bet so if someone was kind enough to make one for me, that will be real sweet of you.

 

[KidA Seven]

Let it be known I didn't place a bet, I just hate Gohan

Same here.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Now that I think about it; Hit looks suspiciously similar to the live-action Piccolo from Dragon Ball Evolution.

 

[Anth0ny]

Good to hear. I'll be watching those episodes today and tomorrow.

Nonetheless, the fact that they skipped forward 4 months and decided not to tell ANY stories within that timeframe just baffles me. Like... that's what Dragon Ball Super is for. Considering how great the Mr. Satan and Goku/Vegeta training with Whis episodes were, I would have loved to see a Freeza training episode or just more random adventures on Earth with the kids or Tien or Piccolo SOMETHING.

Whatever. New stuff starts tomorrow. I'm excited

 

[Kagari]

They padded out the wrong movie. Shame BoG came first. I wouldn't be surprised if the Super adaptation got bad reception in Japan.

Overall I did like the Super version of the RoF events more. Though it was obvious Toei really wanted to get through it quickly to prepare for the new content.

 

[Zomba13]

Are there any gifs or stills or anything of the cool stuff Gohan's done? I mean, he has done super cool awesome shit by now right? People aren't getting hyped to hell over "I should train". Like, he's actually proven he's still got it and is just as cool as he used to be when he was the kid who saved the world? Right?

Honestly I'm just glad the RoF saga is over with really, I mean yeah it's like "this totally needs expanding on because wtf kind of 4 months could do that"... but I just don't think there could possibly be a reason that I'd enjoy so screw it whatever move on.

And yeah the show version is absolutely improved over the movie, patching up a few problems of it, but it's just not much for actually expanding on anything. I came into this saga with a "get it over with" approach and I'm moderately pleased with the result.

Yes

But really, this scene shows that Gohan still has a shit load of power. It is just that his current body can't sustain the power for long.

To be fair they sort of explained it with Tagoma, who was Freeza's training partner for those months and suffered to the point of death before being regenerated each day.

As a hardcore Gohan fan, the best we got so far is uh...

uhh....

Pretty much just an explanation for Tagoma though! Which I did enjoy, Togama turned out awesome... until well.... yeah....

 

[The Silver]

that movie angered AT so much he let it subconsciously enter his designs

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Goku's greatest enemy for Super needs to be Justin Chatwin.

 

[TheAwesomePossum]

Oh yeah, I technically lost an avatar bet. Give me one with his iconic defeated face from the RoF arc.

 

[sleverfunk]

Cabba is gonna be badass. I can feel it.

 

[Kagari]

Oh yeah, I technically lost an avatar bet. Give me one with his iconic defeated face from the RoF arc.

 

[TheRealTalker]

this whole thread should just be Gohan avis

 

[munchie64]

Awww yeah, the real Super starts now!

 

[Anth0ny]

Kinda sucks that they can't do blood anymore. Gohan just getting impaled by Freeza death beams over and over and somehow there is no blood at all looked weak.

 

[Calvero]

i don't think Gohan haters would mind wearing avatars like this that make Gohan look like a Jobber

beams so hot they instantly cauterize the wound

They all should just wear the crying one then. It's perfect.

 

[Magwik]

It's weird to think One Piece is much bloodier than Super. Though Super the hits and fighting is definitely much harder.

 

[TheAwesomePossum]

Beautiful.

 

[Anth0ny]

back in my day freeza beating the piss outta you meant BLOOD

 

[The Silver]

Beautiful.

BROTHER!!!!

 

[bigosc2k]

Can someone make this into an avatar for me? With the caption saying I lost a bet please.

 

[Hidden One]

So how do you guys think Gohan will receive his power up? Whis training?

 

[GuessMyUserName]

I'm realizing I should probably just join in on the Gohan avatar train while the frenzy's hot

So how do you guys think Gohan will receive his power up? Whis training?

He's gonna study the hell out of his ki!

Piccolo's "training" is just bringing him hot choco during his studies because he's the best dad

 

[SolVanderlyn]

GAF

Gohan Avatar Frenzy

 

[LAUGHTREY]

back in my day freeza beating the piss outta you meant BLOOD

You know.

The most disappointing thing for me was that Vegeta didn't even seem to care the guy who murdered the entire Saiyan race came back, and he wasn't filled with rage.

This wasn't Vegeta growing up or anything either I think, they just glossed over it. The one time you can hold a grudge and not seem childish is against the guy who committed genocide against your race.

 

[Daingurse]

Lol, much appreciated.

It's weird to think One Piece is much bloodier than Super. Though Super the hits and fighting is definitely much harder.

Yep, I've been watching the Dressrosa arc lately with my bro, and it's much less tame than Super. Super is almost Toriko level.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Did anyone think it was weird that they killed Piccolo in the last arc, made an offhand remark about wishing him back with the Namek DBs and he just shows up at the party like "hey guys whatever"

Like I get that death in DB is ridiculously cheap but they don't even show him being wished back or anything.

Nope, death has almost been completely trivialized in this series. It actually didn't surprise me at all lol. I just rolled with it.

It's been trivialized for a while now. Hopefully if they swap Earths, the Dragon Balls stop working.

 

[The Silver]

I keep saying the last arc needs to have the villain destroy Namek and all dragon balls everywhere, then fight the good guys so the stakes are actually high.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

You can bet the dragon who made the Super Dragon Balls is gonna show up at one point, at least.

 

[zulux21]

They padded out the wrong movie. Shame BoG came first. I wouldn't be surprised if the Super adaptation got bad reception in Japan.

whether the viewers like it or not the viewer numbers are there, it's constantly in the top 10 anime each week with around 5 rating each week

it will be interesting to see if the ratings go up once we hit this new content.

I keep saying the last arc needs to have the villain destroy Namek and all dragon balls everywhere, then fight the good guys so the stakes are actually high.

that is the sadest thing about rewatching db kai with my wife. all the scenes that go on and on "he is gonna die, he can't die I don't know what we would do without him. DONT DIE... awe he died... where are the dragon balls. YAY HE IS ALIVE"

death has no meaning, and the drama they try to build up around the dangers of death is so pointless in a world where you can easily grab magic balls to bring people back.

at least by the cell games they stop trying it and literally just go.. "eh if satan kills himself we can just revive him."

 

[Calvero]

back in my day freeza beating the piss outta you meant BLOOD

Freeza trained for four months. his beam ARE HOTTER

 

[CryptiK]

Gohan finally got good character development by wearing his own god damn clothes to a fight

Yeah I hope they make him better, by getting rid of that god awful tracksuit.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Gohan, my dude!

Bring back the Masenko why you're at it!

Where is this from? It looks great.

 

[CryptiK]

Where is this from? It looks great.

Pretty sure its from one of the specials Plan to eradicate the Saiyans

 

[LordAlu]

Where is this from? It looks great.

It's from an OVA called Dragon Ball Z: Plan to eradicate the Super Saiyans.
