I truly and honestly have no idea how to feel about this, let alone what to think about it. Its really just one big damn confusing piece.

C'mon guys, it's not like this is the first time this has happened. Bat-Manga was a thing as early as the 1970's, here lovingly rendered by Brave and the Bold:



Then there was the Japaneses adaptation of Spiderman, which featured the first use of a masked hero using a giant robot. Ever Super Sentai robot can trace it's origins back to this show.



Then there's the recent trend, producing things like Iron Man, X-Men, Wolverine, and the Arkham Knight anthology.

Also, heads up:



Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Cursaders has just started airing. Originally written in the 1980's and serialized in Shounen Jump, the show is like a throwback to when Shounen manga was about huge ripped dudes being badasses and getting brutalized.

The ancient enemy of the Joestar bloodline, the vampire Dio Brando, has awakened from his hundred year slumber. At the same time Jotaro Kujo, the latest member of the Joestar family, finds he has developed a strange power. A manifestation of his life energy given form in a apparition. Because these apparitions stand beside their users, they are called Stands. It is up to Jotaro, his grandfather Joseph Joestar, his grandfathers friend Muhammad Avdol, and a few others, to travel the Egypt and put an end to Dio once and for all.

If you haven't watched parts 1 and 2, that's okay. Skipping right into part 3 is acceptable, you just miss some broader contexts about how awesome Joseph is and how much of a bastard Dio is. This is also the part that introduced Stands, which are by far the coolest part of the series and have remained through all the rest of the parts. Stardust Crusaders is iconic. It is by far the most popular part of Jojo and influenced pretty much every Shounen manga that came after it, which is reflected in the massively increased budget David Productions was given to make this adaptation. If anyone wants to find out what I've been raving about, now is the time to get in.

Just got done watching King of Braves GaoGaiGar. Great super robot show, it has a monster off the week format but they keep adding different tools and robots into the mix to keep it interesting while hinting at the larger plotline that happens later.

So it seems that a new Dragonball Z movie is on its way and Goku achieves a new level of power again.

A Super Saiyan God who has achieved Super Saiyan form.

This got me thinking about what the most ridiculous combination of power ups we could achieve in the DBZ universe.

You could have a Super Saiyan God Goku in Super Saiyan 4 form using Kaio-ken x100.

Throw in some Potara Earrings and you suddenly have Vegito in this form.

Vegito is then able to create a Spirit Bomb and absorb its power.

Then we just need to get Super Buu to absorb Vegito.

Throw in a couple more absorptions: Legendary Super Saiyan 3 Broly and Mystic Gohan for a couple additional varied Super Saiyan styles.

Sprinkle in whatever other combination of absorbed magic and skill from around the universe if you want (Shenron or Omega Shenron anyone?) and you end up with something like:

Super Saiyan God Vegito-Buu with Mystic Power releasing the energy of the Legendary Super Saiyan 4 form with power ups from an absorbed Spirit Bomb and Kaio-Ken x100 technique possibly using Shenron magic.

This being then hits you with a combined technique. The Dragon Hammer fusing a 100x Big Bang Kamehameha and a Super Dragon Fist (Add in some Dragon Balls and you can even add a Shenron Blast to the combo). If you really want to go nuts, throw in Gigantic Destruction instead of a Kamehameha in all of the techniques.

Did I miss anything or have I successfully blown up the multiverse?

[Mik_Hael]

Isn't Whiz....being a competent reality bender considering he can apparently time travel, the most powerfull being in DBZ

[Philote]

I don't know much about Whis yet but I think you may be right.

There is a new DBZ anime coming up apparently.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yep, the new DragonBall series is soon on its way. And a movie, I believe?

[Philote]

Everyone needs to try out this new anime called Death Parade.

Start with: Death Billards. It is a one shot story that was created for an animation competition and it became one of the winners.

After, watch this series: Death Parade. The series inspired by the short story that fills in some information about the world.

The opening is amazing, but I would suggest watching only after watching Death Billards for less spoilers.

[WonderDrow]

Thanks for that one.

The artstyle does a good job at mixing up cel-shaded 3D with the 2D.
And I like it when a story tries to mess with your pre-assumptions.

[Mik_Hael]

I finally got around to watching the two newest dbz movies because death battle is doing a rematch episode, and I have a theory about the entire ssg thing that they've been using, mainly ssgss isn't as strong as ssg.

People are saying that the power that Goku has in his base form is now the equivalancy of ssg form because he absorbed and incorporated the God ki into his body. This is not the case, as seen by Beerus saying that he still experienced a drop in power after going out of this form just not a severe one, meaning that he still recieved a major base form power up, but not an equivalency.

especially once you take into account what that for a brief instant in order to cancel out Beerus's miniature sun attack, he achieved the red haired form again at which point he instantaneously eradicated it through some unknown technique.

Compare that to ssgss where he's getting easily man handled by Golden Frieza.


I'm thinking that god ki energy vs ki energy would be, putting it into terms we use all the time for some reason, would be like comparing reality manipulation to physical strength. ie, it takes someone with an assload of physical strength to match up even small amount with someone who can literally create matter. God ki, apparently exists on a higher plane of existence, such is the reason that the other z fighters couldn't sense it, and all ssgss is, is the regular super sayan form, infused with whatever left over god ki goku has, from his god form. But not a true super form of the SSG which considering it could match up with Beerus with almost no injury on Goku's part, I think his lip bled from a punch once, and no training in this form.

[Mik_Hael]

why not just fuze together all of whis's race, there are twelve of them apparently and the ear rings do a multiple of power as in person*person so that would be whis^12.

[Mik_Hael]

welp got to the  1 hour eight  min mark.


this should be especially true considering Beerus still scares the piss out of frieza enough for him to refer to him as lord and is genuily worried about him interfering.

now let's say back during BOG Beerus said he was only using .6 of his power while goku said he was using .8 in god form.

using simple multipliers this means that 1.25 x .6 means that goku at full powered god form when he first used it with no previous experience using godly ki, set him at about 75 % of Beerus's maximum power. If ssgss was any king of multiplier, or even close to ssg in terms of power Freiza should be shitting himself in fear, considering the super saiyan multiplier is x10 and even a 100% boost would put him more powerfull than lord beerus by about 50% but he's not, in fact he's kicking ssgss's ass.

so yeah ssgss is just super sayan with a bit of god mojo sprinkled on top but not the full package.

[Mik_Hael]

also, the fuck was up with that wrist lazer?

I get that it was plan B, but it managed to punch through goku in ssg mode? What, did freaza immediately upon achieving golden form create a weapon that could injure himself just in case things didn't work out? Apparently they couldn't mass produce them because otherwise why not give it to all the freaza souldiers. The fuck was that thing powered with, reality bending hampsters on wheels formed from the cores of a dwarf star!?

[Philote]

I need to catch up on all the new things from the new series.

Speaking of which, is there a good place for me to watch the second movie?

[Mik_Hael]

which one, Bog is easy to find, but I could only find one version of Rof that didn't require  registration, and it was a spanish dub with english sub titles.

[Philote]

The newest one. I'd like to watch a good quality version of it at some point.

[Mik_Hael]

welp, the new death battle sucked ass.
