Reacting To Your Terrible Dragon Ball Takes

[@BaithNa]

As a person who drew a lot of dragon Ball in high school art classes, there's a huge difference between Goku SSJ1 and SSJ2 and its all in the bangs

and aura change

[@Goku0467]

and the plasma.

[@fr0stdr4ke95]

6:12 On the topic of Piccolo's Potential Unleashed type mode. I think that Dragon Ball has sort of glossed over it, but every character can get their potential awakened as a buff. Krillin and Gohan got their potential awakened by Guru, Gohan got his potential truly awakened by Supreme Kai. Which also brings into question why everyone hasn't went to the Supreme Kai or a similar godly figure to give them a Potential Unleashed type form. Especially with characters like Tien that are canonically meant to have some sort of true, hidden power, as well as being part alien himself (Yeah, Triclops is an alien species, I was just as confused when I found that out). Hell, now that I think about it, we never got any explicit confirmation that Goku OR Vegeta ever got a Potential Awakening.

[@lluisrojasgarcia97]

I'd say nobody went to unleash their potential because they're all proud warriors and martial artists, so they find pleasure and motivation in the journey to master themselves. Every time someone has had their potential unleashed was because they were working against time, so they needed as you said a buff. Honestly thinking about it it would probably be the same with the Super Saiyan God ritual. I'm sure if Goku knew you could acces that form by training alone, and Beerus wasn't threatening to destroy the planet, he would have refused to undergo the ritual. As for Orange Piccolo I think it's just the reward that the dragon balls give proud namekian warriors who prove themselves, like way back in the Frieza Saga where they said that the Dragon Balls where rewards for warriors who surpassed some tests or something I don't remember really well

11:20 to me goku making progress faster than vegeta for most of the series was about his of mastery martials arts, having multiple teachers and masters, if you notice goku until the cell saga he used to wear his orange gi with the symbol of the teacher until the cell saga implying that he became a "master" .(until super retconed it). Vegeta was born with a much higher power level and never had a teacher or master before in his life, he learned how to sense and hide ki on the namek arc by himself, vegeta is just as talented, but for most of z he refused help and overworked himself, for example he was locked in with trunks in the hyperbolic time chamber and yet unlike gohan and goku, he didn't bond and train the same way gohan and goku did. In conclusion vegeta fighting understanding/talent is comparable to goku maybe less but the difference maker is the fact that Goku works smarter and has deeper understanding of fighting in general imo.

This dude Vegeta wasted a second year of his life in the hyperbolic time chamber to stay the same. He made the most progress when he actually had a master in whiss and then beerus, nobody learns everything by himself that's the bigger pictures here even in the Moro arc when he went and learned with yadrats.

[@reaper_is_unavailable]

8:40 Goku already explained in the manga iirc that he doesn't stack Kaioken onto SSJ because the stamina drain is way too much. That's also why he doesn't use SSJ Blue with Kaioken too often... additionally, stacking them puts WAY too much strain on the body. What is dumb tho is that Goku and the gang could've easily trained up there to unlock SSJ2 by that point and use their one day back to earth from the old witch (if she is still around) in order to defeat the androids. OR BETTER YET, have King Kai communicate with Bulma a way to build a spaceship and use the one day wish in order to stalk the androids, and get bulma and trunks to new namek in order to use their dragon balls to either incapacitate the androids and wish everyone back (hell, we can even wish Trunks immortal as a joke at that point, although that might tick off beerus). These are all methods that have been done in the series or shown to be completely possible so I am convinced that Toriyama just wanted the future timeline to be hopeless no matter what.

[@rafsstarr]

Gods shouldn't show favouritism or get involved in mortals affairs. its not his job to protect earth, especially when they made their own problems by creating the androids. king kai only helps goku because hes his student. king kai only helps if theres a north galaxy or universal threat. the androids are only planetary

11:17 I hate this argument so much, that people think that Vegeta trained himself and figured out how to transform into a Super Saiyan God, when that's not true. What is true, is that he didn't use the "Ritual" to become a God the first time like Goku, but Vegeta didn't learn it on his own how to unlock the divine powers, he was literally trained by an "Angel", who helped him how to discover those powers, because if Vegeta hadn't trained with Whis he would never have become the Super Saiyan God, without help or that ritual that Goku went through the first time.

[@tylerj7106]

I don’t think the orange piccolo thing was that crazy. He finds out about the unlocking potential after running into a stronger fighter. Goes to Dende to get unlocked, Dende didn’t know how. Dende says he upgraded Shenron. And shenron said he unlocked potential and gave him a little extra. Now was it more than a little extra yes, but wasn’t that over the top.

Beerus isnt evil though. He's an indifferent god who's soul purpose is to destroy and make room for creation to do it's thing. Calling him evil would be like calling animals evil.

[@weirdboymarc7753]

6:00 kinda a miss take here 1. goku and vegeta arnt there so the point of why hasnt this been done before he didnt need to, once he figures out goku and vegeta are gonna be hard to reach he ask if dende can unlock his potential like guru did with gohan and krillin. dende says he doesn't have the ability so he ask if the dragon can do it . he can shenron unlocks his potential giving him the lime form "+ a bit extra" which is orange because piccilo who was once evil doesn't use the dragon balls for material gain so the dragon gifts him extra power 2, in Z i think they do decent jobn at portraying piccilos method of training and how its ineffective or less so due to him doing it solo he more focuses on base conditioning and special techniques. to were goku and roshii tryna make the best martial artist. the only real power up he really gets outside of namekian exlusives absobtions and this which also plays on his namekian ties. preping for the androids the first time hes doing martial arts training with someone else and isn't a tranier persay if you want you can count king kia trianing be4 nail fusion he gets a crazy boost. 3 dirctly coralating his training to his teaching i see were u comin from but piccolo is training saiyins the martial art aspect almost comes natrually too all of them but a young gohan ironiclly so piccilo being a guy with crazy techniques and just maintains his shape fits well as a mentor. espiaslly considering how nonchalant gohan is with training. the potential unleashes also seem to have a passive buff cause krillin went from 3kish to 10k after it happend but by time his second form frieza fight hes at 75k. considering gohan got to vegteta first appearance strength when he was weaker than nappa previously. you could make an argument for gohan always passively having potential cracks especially after the elder kia PU and as you say keeps him relevant one rage boost away. If orange is mickey then it extends to every potintial unlock to an extent. is his piccolo's power boost more BS for you because of the power jump or the new form

I'd argue gohan achieving beast with that level of rage and lack of training is disingenuous to all the prior rage boosts he's had. It invalidates moments where he's most definitely even more angry (watching namekians kids die in front of him, krillin being presumed killed by frieza, cell jrs man handling his friends and family, etc.). To just say, this power always existed and how vastly it outscales anything in dragon ball or even most of DBS anime arcs (manga is a whole other can of worms, and obviously not including G.O.D's and angels). Extra Note: Forgot to even mention piccolo's death. And yes ik this doesn’t make for an interesting story, but thats my point. Beast's existence invalidates prior stakes and it doesn’t help we know so little about it.

[@aguywithgames3135]

I may be on copium for this, but I figured that if Beast was an evolution of the Ultimate/Mystic/Potential Unleashed form, it'd make some sense why it hasn't appeared prior. As for why it never happened during Super, well, he _was_ kinda washed. By the time he could access his full power again, he missed out on shit that could've triggered Beast.

In defense of Super Saiyan Rage, it didn't need to exist and yeah they should've explained more about it. However, my interpretation of it was that Super Saiyan Rage is what happens when a Saiyan tries to surpass Supwer Saiyan 2 through anger rather than training. If it was through training then they'd reach Super Saiayn 3 but through anger they would reach Rage. Or maybe the blue aura was from the god ki from goku and vegeta The design was good with the white eyes and aura they just didn't use it all the time. The name was stupid though but the transformation scene was badass. 🤷‍♂

[@UnrealGemini]

Rage isn't ssj 3 level. It just got confirmed in the manga it's probably around god level because Goku, Vegeta and Whis just reacted to him transforming to it. Also Mystic gohan is pass ssj3. Beast to me is a mixture of ssj and mystic because for him to obtain Mystic he was elder Kai method which could connect to god ki.

[@TSO_Sage]

all respect... i have 0 idea how anybody liked this lmaoo. mainly because the form by those metrics would have been achieved MUCH earlier and would be the most inconsistent form ever. Anger can be a significant amp to power but it's never been its own separate form. Goku & Vegeta raged to SSJ and Gohan to SSJ2, while Goku & Vegeta trained for SSJ2 and Gohan for SSJ. But even if you were to still think rage could be an exclusive form, someone else in the series would have BEEN unlocked the form. You even speculate that it's not rage and its Trunks tapping into God Ki FROM OTHER CHARACTERS lmao which God Ki doesn't even work like that.

Could you make the argument that kind of form shouldn't happen in DB? Yeah, in the same way Super Saiyan God shouldn't.

Shadow dragon saga though is where sub really matters. Most of the dragons are the way they are due to the wishes they were created from. Sin shenron once he becomes omega start talking to Goku different. Trying to get him to understand something without directly stating it. Goku upon facing certain death realizes what Omega was getting at and is reborn leaving his Earthly desires behind. I can’t exactly give a well structured breakdown of it as I am not studied in Buddhism but SethTheProgrammer has a great breakdown of GT that can go more in depth than me. At least if you can get past his history on the platform and impact on the wider anime community. But what I can say is GT had the most narratively satisfying conclusion to the Dragon Ball story and gives the series a genuinely beautiful send off despite its shortcomings as a sequel and Dragon Ball IP.

After that he’s just “i am strong, i want to see how strong i am, fight me.” Like i guess some people say that thats just the goku dna in his body just wanting to fight, but i dont think they played that up enough in the show for that to be really obvious. Also where was that thirst for fighting in his first and second forms?

[@jaym8988]

11:01 No. It was specifically stated that the only way make a super saiyan god is to have the ritual. Vegeta popping up with SS Blue through training goes to show how bad DBSuper writing is. While I like Cell, one of the things that take away from him is the fact that he steals and uses other character abilities. Which makes sense due to what he is, but Frieza was wholly original (minus the energy discs which he didn't steal). I still like Cell, just not as much as Frieza. Is he a great villain? I would say so. I think him regenerating from semi perfect to perfect is a stretch, but the fan base has accepted it, so who am i?

I. Surprised your gt takes didn't start a flame war. GT fans have been on a mission to rewrite history to make that series seem better than it actually was. Ive always said GT is hella disappointing. It tried to recreate the og dragon ball feel and failed miserably. Turning goku into a kid was a big turn off for me. And him being a adult in ssj4 made it worse for me. People are hyping GT for a form and 1 arcs worth of good material. The baby saga and half of the shadow dragon saga. Which im glad someone else mentioned how ass more tban half the shadow dragins were. Only 3 where remotely interesting and actually strong enough to pose a threat. The rest relied to heavily on gimmicks and comedy. Super in my opinion is disappointing in some aspexts. But super has way more highs than lows and supers lows arent nearly as bad a GT. And yes ive watched GT in full. Some people do hate on it without ever watching it. But i recently tried to watch it again and its nowhere near as good as people make it out to seem. The action jist wasnt their and alot of the complaints people make of super are just as bad in GT. Goku is dumb asf in GT. Him being a kid doesn't excuse it. Because hes onlu in his kid body The argument that goku was smarter in GT gets killed when you see goku shoot another x10 Kamehameha at super 17 despite him clearly seeing he can absorb ki. Ssj4 became just as useless as blue because if you watched GT. He was only ever defeated 1 out of 3 main villains with the form. He used the super dragon first to kill super 17. He outright couldn't beat omega in ssj4 and required a spirit bomb to kill him. Both of these cases goku was in his base form. Most of the main cast was useless in GT but at least in super you got more impacfull moments from character like piccolo ,gohan, krillan, the androids and even made freiza look better than he was in GT. Its just not a real conversation when you conpare GT to super.

That last take. OH DEAR GOD. 1. It’s not Planet Vegeta, it’s Planet Sadala, it has an ENTIRELY different society than Planet Vegeta. 2. IF and I mean *IF* there’s a royalty there on Sadala, the king is NOT gonna give Vegeta the crown because *VEGETA ISN’T THE PRINCE TO U6 SADALA* because it’s not HIS RIGHT TO RULE OVER. 3. Vegeta is LONG past his days of a Royal Elite conquering Saiyan. Having him do that dumbass transition in U6 of all places is kinda like undoing it all. 4. Vegeta ain’t gonna be teaching the Saiyans of U6, he’s got Cabba to deal with, he ain’t got time to teach a whole civilization except sparring with some who he deems worthy of battling. If there’s gonna be a person to teach SSJ, it’s gotta be Cabba as he’s part of the Sadala Defense Force…but until Vegeta beats him over the head on how to PROPERLY trigger SSJ and not rely on that STUPID back method, Cabba ain’t ready to teach SSJ to other Saiyans of his universe besides Kale and Caulifla.

[@suivatra123]

GT has the best villain in DB that being Baby and his revenge against the Saiyans. And Super has the biggest low being a tingle in the back is what sparks going Super Saiyan.

You can’t use the god argument against Goku because honestly vegeta would have never gotten the form without whis help

Especially since DBZ wasn't really a thing in Japan at first atleast for the manga. It was just "Dragonball". From a story perspective classic Dragonball was simply better.

[@isaiahyoung-x4o]

SSJ2 is really the only SSJ form they use

[@arkkon2740]

Okay this take doesn't feel too hot, but Gohan getting angry over certain things doesn't work anymore unless you give him a reason that he hasn't found already. If you've seen your close friends and family be mutilated, blown up and stomped out in your face, that trauma is hard to live with. The fact that he still goes throught his day without even mentioning any of this stuff and pouring tears is enough to say that Gohan probably shouldn't get rage boosts anymore and beast maybe shouldn't exist. That being said, we still dont have an actual reason as for why fear overrides the need to go super saiyan, because he should have gone super on Namek at the latest. If it were like the hulk where adrenaline triggers the transformation it would be good, but it's supposed to be this primal fury that really just doesn't actually exist for any character besides Goku apparently.

It is weird that it's like a rock paper scissors beats Vegeta but Vegeta never beats the villain but the villain never beats Goku essentially. There more nuance than that but you can sum it up like that...

[@PetarSon]

5:07 I have a problem with that Gohan in the movie, and especially that transformation that he pulled out of his ass, and one argument is enough to validate my negativity towards that transformation and him, even though I have more than one, but i will only give one, and it's only two words, and whoever doesn't understand them you are not a true Dragon ball fan. Future Gohan.

[@cantu7214]

saying SSJ2 is useless is a terrible take. It's the strongest non god form that has 0 drawbacks unlike SSJ3. Which is why vegeta never bothered with SSJ3

[@RuanAntunes7]

SSJ3 is the strongest non god form by far, it’s just not the most efficient and that’s it’s biggest weakness but it’s still stronger….. technically Beast is the strongest non God Form now

[@ReeseAlmighty]

SSJ3 has the damw drawback as any of the SSJ forms. The only differences is Goku didnt master SSJ3. It's clear he's master SSJ grades 1-4. SSJ2 is said to be more like a grade 5 of SSJ. There wasnt much time between goku learning SSJ3 and using so it looked to be stamina draining but that's been all forms. Especially SSJGSS. But Goku still uses SSJ2& SSJ3 in super without that draw back. He used it to fight Zamasu before the Blacks reveal. Used SSJ3 to fight Beerus and Trunks ( to test his power). So by super it's very clear SSJ3 just needed time. Vegeta doesnt use it because by the time it gets controlled we find out about God ki.

[@ericbananas6419]

I agree with you about ssj looking the same on everyone except teen Gohan EXCEPT for Goku. His hair noticeably changes in the front. Not a huge change but it is noticeable. Everyone else agree 100% tho.

[@bladysante2903]

Hot take maybe idk but in my opinion DBZ Broly is a way better character than DBS Broly. People complain that Z Broly only screams Kakarot (Second movie not the first btw) and has a shitty backstory but they give S Broly a pass just because he's backstory is better although he literally does nothing but fight and scream. Z Broly is more intimidating and even he acknowledges that he is a sadistic monster which in a way makes him way more interesting. I think S Broly is fine but putting him way over Z Broly in terms of character? I don't see it

[@Link-The-Ace]

The reason people like GT is because of GT Vegeta, and SSJ4

[@Knowledge.Seeker100]

I give it to Kid Buu

[@RuanAntunes7]

Frieza is the best villian in DBZ. But Cell, Super Buu and his transformations & Kid Buu were also really good villains.

[@KaseyC.]

The issue with Buu is that he's just not a consistent character. Like start to finish Frieza is the same guy, Cell changes a little when he achieves his perfect form but he's mostly the same guy. Buu is literally, like, 7 different personalities and characters throughout the arc. It's hard to build a strong connection with really any version of Buu because he's just vastly different, like, maybe 5 episodes later

[@lunarsong1948]

Super saiyan is just rage I dunno why that for even has a separate distinction. Not counting kid Trunks and Goten who got ssj in a patch because of power creep. 💀

[@SaviHow]

My hot take is that the transformations severely fuck up the scaling and make characters like Goku and Vegeta seem weak as hell and undermines their training. Think about the Tournament of Power, we see characters like Android 17, Hit, Jiren, Toppo, Dyspo, etc. keep up with and in Jiren's case FAR surpass Super Saiyan Blue Goku & Vegeta, but all of those characters are always in their base forms as that's all they have. If that is the case, why the fuck are Goku and Vegeta's base forms so weak? We know that Goku and Vegeta's god forms make them hundreds of thousands - millions of times stronger, so does that mean that if Android 17 can keep up with Goku and Vegeta then he is millions of times stronger than their base forms? How? Am I to assume that each and every one of those characters trained millions of times harder than Goku and Vegeta? I just wish the series would finally put some respect on the base forms of these characters. With the way it looks now it honest to god feels like Yamcha could walk up to base Goku and Vegeta and just beat the dog shit out of them. Seriously, limit Goku and Vegeta to only their base forms in the TOP and they're getting their pockets ran by Ribrianne alone. It's so frustrating to think about

[@edgysnarfbrownie5778]

Say Goku is smarter than Vegeta all you want, but Goku would have never thought to steal the dragon balls off of Freeza’s ship like Vegeta did. Goku is a smarter fighter, but Vegeta is a smarter tactician. That’s always how I viewed it. Hot take: But I feel like Vegeta actually regressed after the Namek saga because he never tries smart plays like that again. That’s why he always rushes in and gets stomped, his pride was so damaged that he was fighting denial for years. It’s actually what holds him back the most because despite his pride being the main thing he bases his sense of self on majority of the series, if Vegeta had just been more humble knowing he would lose certain fights like he did in the namek saga and he actually trained I’d argue he could have eclipsed Goku’s strength since Vegeta was already born a stronger fighter than Goku. Literally the only reason he doesn’t improve as fast is because he insists on his way.

[@edgysnarfbrownie5778]

Im specifically talking about Vegeta training at an earlier point in his life. Obviously I know he trains.

I'm a guy who likes Piccolo. Literal GOAT character. But you know the only reason Piccolo got a transformation is because Toriyama really likes him. Gave no real shites about Gohan. Just reinact the Cell Games or whatever.
