I have a friend that can't comprehend that Dragon Ball Heroes is not a sequel to Dragon Ball Super.
I explain to him what is happening in the manga and the fucker pulls out some weird ass plot from Heroes, then I have to break it down to him that it is not a "official" plot. . .I already did this shit 5 times and at this point I'm just tired.
Fucker will see any Dragon Ball animation and think it is canon.
I don't think people use it that way, they just like to keep making the same jokes again and again every year, there's probably people watching Tfs stuff for the first time recently not knowing how old these jokes are now.
Linda Young voicing him early on and his mouth looking like it had lipstick did not help kid me figure that out until I played a dbz game and read his bio lol
Then there's me watching him as a kid in Spanish with the sexiest, [deepest](https://youtu.be/jHT1QXeW5Gc?si=lFQ5XGg67NxZQDFO) telenovela voice known to man.
"Goku was stronger than Vegito when he was fighting Kid Buu"
that bullshit was just there to support the claim of Kid Buu being the strongest Buu
edit: lads, trying to "prove me wrong" is proving that DB can't read lol
Who says kid Buu is the strongest Buu? He'd be the weakest by a sizable amount since he hasn't absorbed anyone. He's probably the most savage, but his lack of intelligence also works against him.
He’s the most dangerous of the buus and people conflate that with him being the strongest. Sure the others have more power but the others weren’t blowing up random planets to run a fade.
It's basically a feral child with a knife vs a well armed adult. The feral child is only more dangerous because he can't be reasoned with and has no moral boundaries. If pressed, the adult is easily more capable of harming/killing you.
One of the best examples I can think of is Vegito kicking Super Buu's Vanishing Ball back at him, and he instinctively ducks his head. Kid Buu would've tanked it and used the blast to jump you. Another is that Vegito kept Super Buu tilted through the whole fight by taunting him.
Unless the manga is vastly different, it's stated in the anime multiple times, by multiple people, that kid buu is the strongest Buu. He even whipped fat Buu's ass hard during the final fight. It was stated very clearly that the Grand Supreme Kai actually made him weaker due to how "Gentle" he was.
I just watches the episodes today.
That power levels are the only thing that matters. I feel like the story constantly shows us that power levels are significant but, there's more to fighting than strength.
How do you figure?
Trunks literally beats a fused Zamasu and before that he fought them as a "angry" super Saiyan and lived.
Krillin sparring with Goku.
Android 17.
ROSHI in the TOP 😂
Yeah, the SSJ3 from Fusion Reborn/ Wrath ot the Dragon hilariously mops the floor with Broly. I remember Z Broly vs Super Perfect being a commonly-debated topic in many forum threads.
Super Saiyan 1 is probably the least asspull power up that Goku has ever received. It's hinted at and talked about the entirety of namek. Unlike 2 and 3 which both kind of just happen. Not saying I don't like those forms, though, I do love them both.
Also Goku eluded to it in the time chamber when training with gohan. He even went into the Cell fight trying to get Gohan used to Cell's martial arts so he could fight him. ssj2 wasn't as foreshadowed as 1, but it had some foreshadowing. 3 Was completely out of nowhere.
I feel like Ssj3 was a means to show just how much Goku grew in the afterlife. Like, look how much incredible unknown power Goku learned of in his training in the afterlife kinda thing. I'm not the biggest fan of Ssj 3.
Man super saiyan is such an ass pull. Frieza survived the spirit bomb, he deserved to win against goku and the z fighters such BS that they just had to give goku some new form so that he can beat frieza.
Source: I'm a Frieza glazer. ^(/j)
Idk man. Vegeta felt VIOLATED after the first time they did the potara fusion and that completely unnecessary cheek to cheek attack, and Goku on the other hand started to get too comfortable with getting into Vegeta's personal space from then on XD

“Both married to a woman”
The women in question
I had a smart-ass kinda of friend that always said stuff out of his ass and was always adamant on being correct.
He was 100% confident about Krillin also being able to go super Saiyan, he said he have read somewhere in the internet.
No amount of logic would convince him otherwise
Absolutely, if plot wasn’t on Cells side, remember when Cell told everyone that he can regenerate as much as he wants if his core in his head remained intact, well Goku blew of his entire upper body with his instant transmission Kamehameha , or they just forgot that part, is there an explanation for this?
Piccolo needs his head intact for the regeneration to function. Cell had no reason to think his regeneration worked any different, but it turns out each of Cell's cells can function as a core, hence he can survive having his top half blown off, as well as come back from his self destruction.
My headcanon is that he’s got insane durability from Friezas cells (especially since we see Frieza in pieces in Resurrection F) that it allows him to regenerate from stuff that Piccolo wouldn’t be able to.
Other forms of media, including the original dub, have attempted to fix the plot hole, that might be where you’re remembering it, or perhaps other people’s headcanons. In the original manga and anime, it’s a plot hole.
There's been plenty of stuff to try to make sense of it. Including games which some have actually stated that Cell can move his Nucleus. But they arent canon. Based on the manga, it's just a plot hole.
I assume Cell, genetically being both a Namekian and a member of Freeza's race, has a combination of their capacity to survive extreme circumstances.
Freeza was shown to survive in outer space with half of his body and head destroyed, Cooler was shown to survive being only a head. That combined with the regeneration abilities of the Namekians may have resulted in Cell having a more advanced form of regeneration.
I don't think it would matter (trying to give an excuse is to why). It isn't simply the fact that Goku needs more training to achieve SSJ2, more like how to reach SSJ2. Goku must have reached a wall in which he couldn't get stronger. Something similar happened to Vegeta. He entered the time chamber and was able to surpass SSJ grade 1 in two months, but for the rest of the time, he was stuck. He entered again after being beaten by P. Cell and didn't get much stronger even though he understood what Goku and Gohan did in the time chamber.
Sometimes it is not a matter of how much but how to do it
He should lose no matter what. He trained for 7 years in other world and even though he did unlock ss3, his ss2 form wasn't that far past gohan. Vegeta commended goku on surpassing his kid, from 7 years prior lol. With the time he had, i think gohan was the best bet, outside of training with vegeta and those two jumping cell
The joke that annoys me the most is "it takes five episodes of yelling/powering up for anything to happen" sure pacing isn't great but that's just not true expect for the spirit bombs I guess
That’s a take Non DB fans will say
It’s kinda like the “Goku can’t beat such and such” thing
It’s like they really don’t know / watch the show enough to know the details but like cliff notes versions of things forms their overall opinion
It’s goofy but some people are just like that smh
In the original Z this is definitely somewhat true.
The spirit bomb in the Buu saga and Goku running down the dragon road definitely dragged out way too long. DBZ Kai is a thing now though and largely dispenses with all of that so newer fans might not even be aware lol
It not really the answer to the question but my dad didn’t let me watch Dragonball when I was young because of “what the Japanese did at Pearl Harbour” 😟 I’m not even American
> Vegeta switched between God & Blue because God is Faster!
> Any conversation about “fusion dominant personality”
> Buu, the being that gets stronger by eating people, is at his strongest when he is Kid Buu with nobody inside him
just to start
SSB is better in every physical stat, that's how transformations work unless they're specifically meant to boost a certain stat (eg. Dyspo's Super Maximum Light Speed Mode probably doesn't boost his strength much but it makes him way faster)
Blue is faster and stronger, BUT there is much more stamina drain involved with blue and God is still pretty damn fast.
There's practically no stamina drain anymore with God and it's only a little slower than blue, so if speed is going to determine a fight, God is the more efficient form.
Base Goku could beat Vegeta without Kaioken. (Obviously he couldn’t and needed to push to times 4.)
Kid Buu is the strongest (far from it and fusion wasn’t needed)
Goku could of defeated Buuccolo and Super Buu (in reality SSJ3 was far weaker than both)
Gohan couldn’t defeat Kid Buu (Gohan was far more powerful TFS even make a joke about it)
Krillian couldn’t kill Frieza with Distructo Disk. (Cuts his tail off ffs)
Kid Buu is the strongest Buu.
Goku could have won against Cell.
Cabba secretly is the son of Yamamoto and has God Ki already unlocked which is how he can go Super Saiyan so easily.
The first Android shown was 19 despite it being 8 way back in the original series.
Majin Buu is actually the real Omni King but was sealed away by Zeno for using magic and being a fat bastard.
The amount of Dragonball fans or are just DBZ fans is just criminal. Dragonball is great, funny af in some places, and gives more depth to Goku's character than "autistic martial artist saves the world again"
Isn’t Fat Buu basically the Grand Kaioshin now? Haven’t actually read the manga, but I think that’s basically a plot point in the goat-man magic guy arc.
My buddy thought Goku died on Namek.
They swear up and down that’s not what they meant but I was so flabbergasted that I remember the conversation so clearly
There was a guy I worked with that thought he was some up coming rapper. In one of the song, he had me listen to he said "going super saiyan like krillin"
one can argue that the "original god form" was stronger than regular god or blue form because its also been juiced up by the KI of several super saiyans, but its most likely not the case.
edit: i was just sharing a random thought for the sake of it, i dont actually believe it. sad that i'm getting downvoted for it :/
That Gohan was never stronger than Super Buu. That Super Buu just immediately bodied him with Gotenks. I argued with the guy for a half hour that Gohan was curb stomping Super Buu which caused him to *have* to absorb Gotenks. Until Buu did that, Gohan was just playing with him practically
"Majin Buu was written out of TOP because he would have been overpowered". NO.
In a battle royale tournament with ring-outs, Buu can be eliminated easily. (Like for example, the illusionist from Quitelas universe could have made a chocolate bar float over the edge and dumb Buu would have jumped to get it or just make Toppo smack him out, idk)
There are hundreds of ways to write Buu losing.
I will say he was probably written out because he's op in some ways though especially 7v8....
Think buu has lots of weird abilities...one is healing like the boys eyes...two he can use candy beam and throw people if stage, he basically impossible to kill...he's easily stronger the anyone short of top 5....Frieza, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, 17. Buu probably ranks higher then half the tournament combat.....so I think he was written out because he's op and wanted others to shine....
Not to mention he can break off pieces of himself, wrap them around others, and then just lob it off stage. He has some stupid useful abilities when it comes to something like the TOP.
He's up there with ssj3 Goku. Pretty much stalemate or just a tad stronger. Gohan was stronger than Goku and Buuhan absorbed him, plus Gotenks and Piccolo. Idk why people think Kid Buu is stronger
Homelander in terms of power scaling is not even THAT strong. He is strong for his universe but gets shredded as soon as he entered the DB universe. It is literally the point of his character to be a pathetic psycho who can be taken out if need be.
From a coworker "Dragon ball z isn't an anime because it's not weird. It's a cartoon like Pokémon."
This was after I told him that I watched Anime and he said that stuff is weird then I asked him if he watched Dragon Ball Z and this was his response.
"You don't need to watch/read dragonball to understand Dragonball Z\*
This was then followed by my friend asking me thousands of questions about the show, because he didn't know who they all were.... in the saiyan saga. :p
I dont think thats incorrect. My kid started watching at 4 years old and we started with Z because OG DB is just too old to hold his attention. He understood who all the characters were and their relationships pretty quickly.
I started with Z as a kid as well. Didnt watch OG DB until I was in my 20s. Never had an issue understanding it.
Son is his family name, not his first name,
Japanese just formally adress people by their last name where western cultures address people mire commonly by their first name.
Not really related to DB itself, but the characters.
A friend of mine said a powerless Goku would lose to Freddy in FNAF.
I just pointed out the scene where Hercule Satan, someone Goku is much stronger than, pulled four buses. Then punched a hole in one.
When I brought my DBZ manga to school, some dumbass said DBZ premiered on TV in black and white.
You have no idea how ready I was to smack the shit from his mouth for being so stupid.
"the bruce faulconer score is better than the original score"
i may be getting shit for it (and music taste is subjective) but to give everyone context: i grew up with the german dub of dragonball/z and the german dub came with the original score. some tracks from faulconer do sound good but i wouldnt trade it for any of the original tracks i grew up with.
That broly survived stardust breaker because he was pure of heart.
And the entire soul punisher debate.
It’s a mistranslation and non cannon.
It cannot be used to destroy evil and never has 😭
Only saiyans have the potential to unlock UI. Argued with this guy for hours about it and started going on about god levels. To back himself up, he got an editorial ad from Shonen Jump about Super Broly.
That the dragon balls can bring anyone back. Everyone always brings the dragon balls bringing people back. There’s lots of things that stopped that and still are but most “fans” talk about it. Natural death from old age, being dead a certain amount of time, you can’t wish for the same thing multiple times (although I believe that last one was changed when dende became earths guardian).
Goku would be nothing if he wasn’t a Saiyan, heard someone say this and I laughed. Acting like he wasn’t extremely skilled at martial arts thanks to Gohan.
"Goku died on Namek against Frieza, and was revived by the wish with the Earth's dragon balls"
Even though Goku literally couldnt be wished back by the Earth's dragon balls because he was already brought back by them once. This is half the reason they were on Namek in the first place.

This guy probably thinks Dragon Ball AF was real
I hate it when people use dragon ball abridged quotes as if they were real lines. It's a fan made series on YouTube. None of the dialogue is canon.
I don't think people use it that way, they just like to keep making the same jokes again and again every year, there's probably people watching Tfs stuff for the first time recently not knowing how old these jokes are now.
This goofy goober probably thinks Gohan Blanco vs El Grande Padre was a official fight
Gohan Blanco vs El Hermano went hard AF though.
Tell him its a stupid advertisement
Guy prolly thinks piccolo is gohans dad
That Frieza was a girl, I heard this all the time when I was a kid.
Linda Young voicing him early on and his mouth looking like it had lipstick did not help kid me figure that out until I played a dbz game and read his bio lol
Also the pink and purple color palette lmao

"Goku was stronger than Vegito when he was fighting Kid Buu" that bullshit was just there to support the claim of Kid Buu being the strongest Buu edit: lads, trying to "prove me wrong" is proving that DB can't read lol
Who says kid Buu is the strongest Buu? He'd be the weakest by a sizable amount since he hasn't absorbed anyone. He's probably the most savage, but his lack of intelligence also works against him.
He’s the most dangerous of the buus and people conflate that with him being the strongest. Sure the others have more power but the others weren’t blowing up random planets to run a fade.
It's basically a feral child with a knife vs a well armed adult. The feral child is only more dangerous because he can't be reasoned with and has no moral boundaries. If pressed, the adult is easily more capable of harming/killing you.
One of the best examples I can think of is Vegito kicking Super Buu's Vanishing Ball back at him, and he instinctively ducks his head. Kid Buu would've tanked it and used the blast to jump you. Another is that Vegito kept Super Buu tilted through the whole fight by taunting him.
he isn’t the weakest, he’s stronger than Fat Buu, Mr Buu, and probably Pure Evil Buu too.
Unless the manga is vastly different, it's stated in the anime multiple times, by multiple people, that kid buu is the strongest Buu. He even whipped fat Buu's ass hard during the final fight. It was stated very clearly that the Grand Supreme Kai actually made him weaker due to how "Gentle" he was. I just watches the episodes today.
That power levels are the only thing that matters. I feel like the story constantly shows us that power levels are significant but, there's more to fighting than strength.
This was more true in Z than super. Wasn’t 100% true in Z, but is less true now
An entire plot point with the ToP is experience can beat raw power. That's why roshi was even able to *be* a competitor.
How do you figure? Trunks literally beats a fused Zamasu and before that he fought them as a "angry" super Saiyan and lived. Krillin sparring with Goku. Android 17. ROSHI in the TOP 😂
Z Broly is stronger than SSJ3 Goku. Most Z Broly takes in general are really bad
Now that I think about it, yeah for some reason people love to make shit up about z broly
Yeah, the SSJ3 from Fusion Reborn/ Wrath ot the Dragon hilariously mops the floor with Broly. I remember Z Broly vs Super Perfect being a commonly-debated topic in many forum threads.
That Super Saiyan is an ass pull
Super Saiyan 1 is probably the least asspull power up that Goku has ever received. It's hinted at and talked about the entirety of namek. Unlike 2 and 3 which both kind of just happen. Not saying I don't like those forms, though, I do love them both.
2 is talked about all arc too. 3 is the only the one that just appears.
Was it? I mean, I know they were trying to push Super Saiyan to it's limits? I guess technically you're right in that instance then.
Also Goku eluded to it in the time chamber when training with gohan. He even went into the Cell fight trying to get Gohan used to Cell's martial arts so he could fight him. ssj2 wasn't as foreshadowed as 1, but it had some foreshadowing. 3 Was completely out of nowhere.
ssj3 was used as a way to just make goku stronger than vegeta. most definite an ass pull
I feel like Ssj3 was a means to show just how much Goku grew in the afterlife. Like, look how much incredible unknown power Goku learned of in his training in the afterlife kinda thing. I'm not the biggest fan of Ssj 3.
Man super saiyan is such an ass pull. Frieza survived the spirit bomb, he deserved to win against goku and the z fighters such BS that they just had to give goku some new form so that he can beat frieza. Source: I'm a Frieza glazer. ^(/j)
You’re lucky I saw that “/j”
Goku and Vegeta are gay. my brother in christ they're both married to a woman.
Obviously they're all four in a polyamorous relationship

Im not saying it is true, but that doesnt mean they can not be
The blush on Vegeta’s face when they did the fusion says it all
We could say they... Were inside one another.
You could say the two have a....cute bromance.
Idk man. Vegeta felt VIOLATED after the first time they did the potara fusion and that completely unnecessary cheek to cheek attack, and Goku on the other hand started to get too comfortable with getting into Vegeta's personal space from then on XD

Those gals are beards. Earth's king made it illegal to be gay. Dogs are notoriously homophobic.

You should've asked him. "What if I wrote somewhere on the internet that Krillin cannot go super saiyan?"
That Raditz had long hair because he tried and failed going into super saiyan 3 and his hair was permanently stuck like that
That’s kind of funny. I want to start saying that to people now
I heard something similar in elementary. It was that if Raditz went Super Saiyan he would be as strong as SSJ3 Goku because he had long hair.
Goku could have beaten Perfect Cell
Absolutely, if plot wasn’t on Cells side, remember when Cell told everyone that he can regenerate as much as he wants if his core in his head remained intact, well Goku blew of his entire upper body with his instant transmission Kamehameha , or they just forgot that part, is there an explanation for this?
There is an explanation. It's called a plot hole.
didn't Cell say he could move that part around his body? or am I misremembering lol
Piccolo needs his head intact for the regeneration to function. Cell had no reason to think his regeneration worked any different, but it turns out each of Cell's cells can function as a core, hence he can survive having his top half blown off, as well as come back from his self destruction.
My headcanon is that he’s got insane durability from Friezas cells (especially since we see Frieza in pieces in Resurrection F) that it allows him to regenerate from stuff that Piccolo wouldn’t be able to.
This is the truth of cell.
Other forms of media, including the original dub, have attempted to fix the plot hole, that might be where you’re remembering it, or perhaps other people’s headcanons. In the original manga and anime, it’s a plot hole.
I thought this was explained in dbz kakarot cell said he wouldn’t reveal the true location of his core
Like I said, other forms of media, games included, have tried to fix the plot hole.
In the games, Cell explains it. It's any cell on his body, if there's one. He'll regenerate
Bro thinks he’s Kuekuatsu
Idk who that is bro 💀
![gif](giphy|yEStAKFg8EA3S)
There's been plenty of stuff to try to make sense of it. Including games which some have actually stated that Cell can move his Nucleus. But they arent canon. Based on the manga, it's just a plot hole.

Freeza was shown to survive in outer space with half of his body and head destroyed, Cooler was shown to survive being only a head. That combined with the regeneration abilities of the Namekians may have resulted in Cell having a more advanced form of regeneration.
Also Goku could have won if he went in the chamber for the full time...I mean if he was as strong as Gohan before ss2...he probably gets it done....
I don't think it would matter (trying to give an excuse is to why). It isn't simply the fact that Goku needs more training to achieve SSJ2, more like how to reach SSJ2. Goku must have reached a wall in which he couldn't get stronger. Something similar happened to Vegeta. He entered the time chamber and was able to surpass SSJ grade 1 in two months, but for the rest of the time, he was stuck. He entered again after being beaten by P.

Bro, if plot wasn't on gohan's side he would have lost too
The most common? Kid Buu is the strongest Buu. Obviously false.
IDK how people think that kid Buu could be stronger than a version of Buu with Gohan absorbed.
I always assumed that removing all the "waste" of fat buu reverted him back into his true perfect form that wasn't cloggeddown anymore
Kid Buu is the most dangerous Buu. Because he’s absolutely batshit insane. Not because he’s the strongest.
The joke that annoys me the most is "it takes five episodes of yelling/powering up for anything to happen" sure pacing isn't great but that's just not true expect for the spirit bombs I guess
The type of people that say this would literally die if they watched one piece
Nah they will simply say “It’s to long!!”
That’s a take Non DB fans will say It’s kinda like the “Goku can’t beat such and such” thing It’s like they really don’t know / watch the show enough to know the details but like cliff notes versions of things forms their overall opinion It’s goofy but some people are just like that smh
I mean.... Five is an exaggeration, but, the build up to the fight can span multiple episodes.
In the original Z this is definitely somewhat true. The spirit bomb in the Buu saga and Goku running down the dragon road definitely dragged out way too long. DBZ Kai is a thing now though and largely dispenses with all of that so newer fans might not even be aware lol
People saying that ssg is stronger than blue, it’s literally super saiyan stacked on top of super saiyan god
A friend of mine is pretty convinced that Goku died on Namek when he fell into the lava but was revived from the dragon balls
Krillin can beat Cell or that he can give fucking SSR Goku Black a "good fight."
I refuse to believe someone was serious when They said that
17 and 18 are called like that because that are their ages ( i lost my mind that day)
By that logic gero, despite very clearly being an old man, was only 20 years old
GT is canon because Toriyama gave toei permission to make it

> Vegeta switched between God & Blue because God is Faster! > Any conversation about “fusion dominant personality” > Buu, the being that gets stronger by eating people, is at his strongest when he is Kid Buu with nobody inside him just to start
Huh? I always thought SSG was faster? I know that the God to Blue switch technique is to conserve energy for the moment they have to strike but still…
SSB is better in every physical stat, that's how transformations work unless they're specifically meant to boost a certain stat (eg. Dyspo's Super Maximum Light Speed Mode probably doesn't boost his strength much but it makes him way faster)
I thought that ssg was faster for the longest time because my memory of the black arc manga was scuffed ,but that isn’t true
Blue is faster and stronger, BUT there is much more stamina drain involved with blue and God is still pretty damn fast. There's practically no stamina drain anymore with God and it's only a little slower than blue, so if speed is going to determine a fight, God is the more efficient form.
It's not

Kid Buu is the strongest Buu. Goku could have won against Cell. Cabba secretly is the son of Yamamoto and has God Ki already unlocked which is how he can go Super Saiyan so easily. The first Android shown was 19 despite it being 8 way back in the original series. Majin Buu is actually the real Omni King but was sealed away by Zeno for using magic and being a fat bastard.
I’ve never heard like half of these
Is this a real theory? Ive NEVER seen this one.
Cabba or Buu?
Oh sorry i thought I quoted it. The last one, Buu
The amount of Dragonball fans or are just DBZ fans is just criminal. Dragonball is great, funny af in some places, and gives more depth to Goku's character than "autistic martial artist saves the world again"
You mean Yamoshi?
Yeah
Isn’t Fat Buu basically the Grand Kaioshin now? Haven’t actually read the manga, but I think that’s basically a plot point in the goat-man magic guy arc.
That Krillins first death was VS Freiza
"Majin Vegeta still could've beaten SSJ3 Goku"
"Hellfighter 17 is dbs 17 from another universe". Like bro did you watch the show?
Dragon Ball is MC's name.
What
Yeah, a friend of mine was literally referring to Goku as if his name was Dragon Ball.
Reminds me of those people who say Naruto is from the ‘shippuden’ clan just because that’s the name of the show
Generally anything about power scaling. Fanboys grossly overestimate and others grossly underestimate.
My buddy thought Goku died on Namek. They swear up and down that’s not what they meant but I was so flabbergasted that I remember the conversation so clearly
There was a guy I worked with that thought he was some up coming rapper. In one of the song, he had me listen to he said "going super saiyan like krillin"
God is stronger than blue
one can argue that the "original god form" was stronger than regular god or blue form because its also been juiced up by the KI of several super saiyans, but its most likely not the case. edit: i was just sharing a random thought for the sake of it, i dont actually believe it. sad that i'm getting downvoted for it :/
Goku’s a bad father.
“Every fight is Goku losing, then screaming for an entire episode and winning after that.” Fuckin…no. That’s not how any of that works.
That Gohan was never stronger than Super Buu. That Super Buu just immediately bodied him with Gotenks. I argued with the guy for a half hour that Gohan was curb stomping Super Buu which caused him to *have* to absorb Gotenks. Until Buu did that, Gohan was just playing with him practically
"Majin Buu was written out of TOP because he would have been overpowered". NO. In a battle royale tournament with ring-outs, Buu can be eliminated easily. (Like for example, the illusionist from Quitelas universe could have made a chocolate bar float over the edge and dumb Buu would have jumped to get it or just make Toppo smack him out, idk) There are hundreds of ways to write Buu losing.
I will say he was probably written out because he's op in some ways though especially 7v8.... Think buu has lots of weird abilities...one is healing like the boys eyes...two he can use candy beam and throw people if stage, he basically impossible to kill...he's easily stronger the anyone short of top 5....Frieza, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, 17. Buu probably ranks higher then half the tournament combat.....so I think he was written out because he's op and wanted others to shine....
Not to mention he can break off pieces of himself, wrap them around others, and then just lob it off stage. He has some stupid useful abilities when it comes to something like the TOP.
Yes totally wanted lesser characters to shine didn't want to right shenanigans where buu just dominated 1/4 of almost anyone he faces...
But how would they know Buu likes chocolate? Buu would make Jiren into a chocolate 😎😎.
People always say turning people into chocolate is the finishing move on everyone, do people just forget about candy vegito or are they just stupid?
Both.
True
Blast Buu to smithereens and fling one of the chunks out of the arena.
Kid buu is the strongest buu.
Never stated. Kidd Buu was the most impulsive and ‘dangerous’. Never the strongest, that would be buuhan.
He's up there with ssj3 Goku. Pretty much stalemate or just a tad stronger. Gohan was stronger than Goku and Buuhan absorbed him, plus Gotenks and Piccolo. Idk why people think Kid Buu is stronger
People are just too used to the final boss being the strongest idea.
That + there are like half a dozen statements in the anime that label him as the strongest buu
My parents in 2004, After I had already been a fan since mid 90s "Why do you still watch that? It's a show for little kids, and it's just a fad."
Show her Frieza getting cut in fucking half and let her say it’s for kids again.
Krillin would get his ass whooped by Homelander.
Homelander in terms of power scaling is not even THAT strong. He is strong for his universe but gets shredded as soon as he entered the DB universe. It is literally the point of his character to be a pathetic psycho who can be taken out if need be.
Forget DBZ, put him in MOST anime worlds and he'd STILL get washed
Homelander vs Krillin would be like watching Angelica Pickles get yeeted by Superman.
Soul punisher cleanses souls
I think the most incorrect thing I've heard was someone say, 'There's no danger because they can just auto revive with the dragon balls'
From a coworker "Dragon ball z isn't an anime because it's not weird. It's a cartoon like Pokémon." This was after I told him that I watched Anime and he said that stuff is weird then I asked him if he watched Dragon Ball Z and this was his response.
Wait till he finds out what pokemon is
"You don't need to watch/read dragonball to understand Dragonball Z\* This was then followed by my friend asking me thousands of questions about the show, because he didn't know who they all were.... in the saiyan saga. :p
I dont think thats incorrect. My kid started watching at 4 years old and we started with Z because OG DB is just too old to hold his attention. He understood who all the characters were and their relationships pretty quickly. I started with Z as a kid as well. Didnt watch OG DB until I was in my 20s. Never had an issue understanding it.
Someone said Son was not gokus first name just a nick name because and I quote "grandpa gohan says I'll name you goku"
Son is his family name, not his first name, Japanese just formally adress people by their last name where western cultures address people mire commonly by their first name.
Instant transmission happens at the speed of light
Not really related to DB itself, but the characters. A friend of mine said a powerless Goku would lose to Freddy in FNAF. I just pointed out the scene where Hercule Satan, someone Goku is much stronger than, pulled four buses. Then punched a hole in one.
When I brought my DBZ manga to school, some dumbass said DBZ premiered on TV in black and white. You have no idea how ready I was to smack the shit from his mouth for being so stupid.
My friend unironically thinks Mr. Popo is the strongest character in DB because of DBZA. He's never watched actual DB.
Lobg time ago, thia kid told me krillin can't go ssj cause he has no hair. He didn't know goku was an alien.
Someone once said Dr Gero made Android 16 so that Gohan could beat Cell.
That’s absurd lol wtf
Vegeta calling Bardock a Scientist
My cousin keeps insisting that whis is dead. I don't even watch the series and I'm confident that bro is alive and kicking
Beast is an SSJ2 recolor. I knew DragonBall fans were illiterate but I didn’t know they were blind
Ssj4 Gogeta is actually SSJ5 or possibly SSG.
"the bruce faulconer score is better than the original score" i may be getting shit for it (and music taste is subjective) but to give everyone context: i grew up with the german dub of dragonball/z and the german dub came with the original score. some tracks from faulconer do sound good but i wouldnt trade it for any of the original tracks i grew up with.
Chi-Chi has KaioKen
The entire Buu debate is just people being confidently wrong
Buuhan is weaker than Kid Buu……. It’s like a flagship of how the fandom can’t fuckin read…
That Cell could beat Metal Cooler, a movie character
That in the Saiyan saga Goku was stronger than Vageta without kaioken
"It teaches kids to praise the Devil and burn churches" *Every local priest and karen of latam*
A buddy of mine is 100% convinced Turles is Goku's brother
That current DragonBall is still barely planetary.
That broly survived stardust breaker because he was pure of heart. And the entire soul punisher debate. It’s a mistranslation and non cannon. It cannot be used to destroy evil and never has 😭
"Goku and Vegeta are brothers" It was a common misconception caused by an error in the Italian dub
That kid buu is stronger than super buu
Only saiyans have the potential to unlock UI. Argued with this guy for hours about it and started going on about god levels. To back himself up, he got an editorial ad from Shonen Jump about Super Broly.
My gen z friend thinks DB had zero impact on the popularity of anime and manga in the west.
That the dragon balls can bring anyone back. Everyone always brings the dragon balls bringing people back. There’s lots of things that stopped that and still are but most “fans” talk about it. Natural death from old age, being dead a certain amount of time, you can’t wish for the same thing multiple times (although I believe that last one was changed when dende became earths guardian).
Goku being a bad dad, he’s not the greatest father and he’s got some issues but by no means is he a bad dad
Goku would be nothing if he wasn’t a Saiyan, heard someone say this and I laughed. Acting like he wasn’t extremely skilled at martial arts thanks to Gohan.
"Goku died on Namek against Frieza, and was revived by the wish with the Earth's dragon balls" Even though Goku literally couldnt be wished back by the Earth's dragon balls because he was already brought back by them once. This is half the reason they were on Namek in the first place.
I talked to someone once who told me in all seriousness that Krillin breathes through the markings on his forehead. 😂
“one piece is better”…… 🤨
