Dragon Ball Super - The Soulless Disgrace

[@tariqkhan6633]

I don't even know why they introduced the back tingly concept for super saiyan. Super saiyan was ALWAYS about the inner anger and frustration that a saiyan felt. The aura was a bright yellow kinda like a flame and the gold hair represented the ascension that the saiyan went through. I can't believe they spat on probably the most iconic form of dragon ball.

Ikr Idk why the show made Cabba explain to the girls about the thing on the back WHILE Vegeta explained to Cabba previously that it comes from anger

[@notisttt1240]

You know, if they had written the tournament of power in a way that they had 3-4 months to prepare(I give her 3-4 months cuz she's super strong in base, so it's ok if it's 3-4 months only,even if she's not a martial arts master like goku) then they could have cabba try to enrage caulifla, it fails as quickly as it did in the actual show, then explain to her that she has to concentrate ki on her back in a very specific way. Caulifla sits down in a meditating potision and concentrates ki on her back for like, a month, like fricking budda(so the authors could empathize on the Buddhism reference they made with the ki in the back thing), thus being the first known saiyan to unlock ssj with meditation alone(which would be because she's a genius and all) and the rest of the months training to master ssj and unlock ssj2(since she's already super strong and is a genius, it kinda makes sense). I would love that. There were MANY plot points in super were I thought "wow this is such a cool idea that is done very horribly". Trust me, many times. It's like they found gold and smeared it in crap.

My biggest problem with super is how they changed Goku. I understand that Goku is no Superman but it's not like that he only fights for the sake of fighting. In Dragon Ball Z, he had his loved ones in mind while training. Goku's perspective on life changed after training with Kami. From there on, he would only kill if it's the last resort. It's not just that he wants new training partners. I really loved how you saw Goku growing up as a naive boy living in the woods growing into a seasoned martial arts fighter

I think Super Saiyan God should have been a goal post to reach throughout the series. Goku achieves god in the beginning as it happens. Then cant get it again without help from the other saiyans, so he and Vegeta strive to get it without help throughout the whole series. That way god power doesnt get undermined.

[@your1hero]

Well I hate how in the movie shenron gave Piccolo a new transformation on top of his first new form(which he actually earned through training) like what. I think it was said in DBZ only porunga can make those kinds of wishes. Also Gohans form was made by other creators (I know that ssj original design was basically Beast Gohan)but it was never put on screen until El Blanco was a thing and AF expanded Gohans form with ssj6(I know Akira Toriyama approved and the creator is now making Super) Hell Granolah arc is just baby arc but not an evil Saiyan, and Morro arc is cell saga. The whole super series is a big what if mainly TOP. BOG was the only movie and arc I liked, Frieza coming back was cool, but Vegeta should have won. Hit was the only thing I liked in U6 arc and I guess there being more Saiyan's including female. Goku black should have been Gohan Black(both series and manga are good) Frieza should have been with cell for TOP and replace Tien. Broly is just an amalgamation of DBZ Broly and Fusion Reborn.Side Note: ssj god should have been Goku's limit until UI ssj Blue just felt like a waste of a form, but kaioken blue was dope, but not as dope as ssj God UI. Goku's avatar form is just a susanoo from Naruto.

[@rup7591]

Super is shit but as a 29 years old who is not into anime anymore I would still defend Orange piccolo. It’s his dragon and it was a form that Piccolo probably could have reached later on but Shenron threw him a little extra. Also we needed a new Namekian form as it has lately been all about freaking Saiyans.

Actually, it's a very common anime trope. Hard to actually criticize.

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

I loved the idea of how Toppo thought Goku was a villain because it was his idea of starting the tournament of power which put the safety of all the universes in jeopardy, just to fill Goku’s love of fighting. That was an intriguing concept they could’ve explored, how Goku’s hubris is putting innocents in danger, but they threw it away by saying “actually Zeno was going to destroy them anyway so Goku really saved the universes by giving everyone a fighting chance.” I thought that was a cheap scapegoat.

[@jahmaisofly]

[@cadekachelmeier7251]

Imagine if staying calm to keep the blue/UI form was an actual challenge. And if they got too riled up, they'd lose the form until they calmed back down. The enemy might goad them and attack their friends. And you could have some internal struggles with them suppressing the rage they usually use to power up during fights. It might have actually felt like a unique thing rather than a generic power up.

[@M0th180]

EXACTLY. That’s never portrayed correctly in the show! It would be so interesting to see them accidentally fall out of the form if they can maintain their emotions or remain focused while in a fight.

[@HeroTheHedgehog999]

Yeah they could use the form when raging but they wouldn’t be able to contain it nor use it at it’s fullest. The calm and tranquil will allow Goku and Vegeta to use SSB to it’s fullest.

[@EdmacZ]

Thank you very much. I remember back when the writers gave actual weaknesses to their power ups beyond "Muh stamina".

[@PosthumanHeresy]

It would also be an incredibly interesting twist on the original concept with Super Saiyan 1 and 2. Goku at first became far more violent and brutal when he transformed, and Gohan was even more extreme turning downright sadistic. Completely twisting that and having a form which works on the exact opposite rules would be really unique. It could also lead to good character stuff. You'd assume Vegeta would be worse at this for obvious reasons, but he spent 20 years with his empire dead and as a lackey to Frieza. He's got more control over himself than anyone else, or else he'd be dead. The lack of self-control is a response to the constant need for controlling himself, he just can't keep the mask on 24/7. Goku has no self-control at all. It would be really neat for Vegeta to actually be better with the best form because controlling empathy and compassion is his strong suit.

Not even one day, a single day within several years. He has a power to protect his world but he can't spare even few hours per year to keep it up. That's honestly more irresponsible than anything Goku has ever done and just plain lazy. Like imagine if you could become Eddie Hall strong by just visiting gym once per year and you couldn't bring yourself to do even that much. You'd have to be the biggest loser ever to not do that.

My issue with Super is that it doesn’t feel like it has stakes or suspense. In dragon ball z, we had the frieza saga which gave us the iconic super saiyan transformation but it was a journey to reach that point and one that was worth it.

In Dragon Ball Z, no character was left behind. Even in the Cell Saga, Yamcha, Tien, and even Chi-Chi contributed. But then you look at Super, and wonder where every other Z Fighter went. At this point, the only important ones are the Saiyans and Piccolo. And then there's the repeated bastardization and humiliation of one of the most memorable villains in anime, Frieza. Goku and Vegeta have gotten so powerful, that this once mighty threat is just a weekly "we have to deal with you, send you back to hell, and then repeat ad nauseam" comic book villain.

I really like Dragon Ball GT. It does have its problems, just like Super has its problems - however, I seem to notice the passion that was put into GT. The original Dragon Ball has been overshadowed by Z, and instead of making a Z clone - it seems that they tried to combine the two whilst also making its own concepts - Black Star Dragon Balls, Super Saiyan 4 being its own unique design and not just a hair dye. The Dragon Balls actually having purpose other than being a plot device. Unlike Super, GT actually has stakes and consequences thankfully taking place after the end of Z. As someone who had to adjust to his heritage and finally became proud of his heritage and didn't shy away from it, Goku Jr is probably the most relatable character for me.

It's hard to tell a fight is serious when the main character is constantly underestimating his opponents because of how much his power has grown. In my opinion, SSG should have been the apex of Goku's power and the end of the entire franchise, fanbase be damned.

Thank you! Ssg should have been the end of all transformations. It would have been so clever, let enemies underestimate his looks only for goku to show that raw power.

Focuses on all the things fans like (fighting and forms) and none of the things fans don't realize they actually love (the cast, the unpredictability, failure + growth and the slice of life nature of its narrative). Sadly, even though it focuses completely on fighting there are never any stakes because with only two characters no one can really get hurt or die.

There just doesn't seem to be much direction for the characters anymore. Its just "new thing shows up" like Smash Bros. And the whole thing with alll the characters other than Goku is just. "they want to protect their off screen families" as their shared motivation isnt really a plotline. Its a generic default status. Like they became the Justice League now, and not really anti-herioc martial artists anymore. I just don't think Super really does anything better than GT other than just better fights. GT had better arc plots imo.

Every fucking character in dragon Ball is a fucking prodigy... Master Roshi took 50 years to do the Kamehameha while Goku took 50 seconds, Tien literally made master Roshi quit martial arts even though he was a teenager, piccolo became stronger than his own father within 3 years of existing, Frieza without any training could actually hold his own with the legendary Super Saiyan and trained for 4 months so he could fight ssjb goku, the Android's we're stronger than SSJ by default and 17 became ssjb level from training on a fucking island, Gohan with only 4 years of training beat cell who was literally made up of all the strongest beings to exist at the time, Goten and trunks became SSJ at an earlier age than Gohan, Buu is the literal incarnation of evil, etc. Why is it so fucking weird for caulifla and kale to do the same exact shit every fucking character did? How can she be a mary sue? She has zero fucking wins and got humiliated by Goku. Goku was literally training her.

Sorry there were grammar mistakes that my phone corrected.

[@heretopissyouoff8439]

To be completely fair caulifla and kale turned into mary Sues only because they were rushed, same goes for jiren. If only the story didn't rush their development, they could've been great. There were times it came really really REALLY close to being good. For instance jiren's backstory instead of just having jiren say "oH fRieNds aRe UseLeSs" over and over. They could instead delve deeper into how he disconnects himself from people because of his fear of lost, combined with his pain of betrayal and abandonment by his old friends. They got super close to it during the battle with goku but they ultimately just said "nah f*ck it, just make him swole." Same with kale and caulifla, especially kale. Her fear of being abandoned and left behind or being a burden to caulifla could've been explored more. Maybe a flashback of how caulifla always had to protect her and maybe even gets injured trying to. Perhaps delve a little deeper into why caulifla likes kale so much, it's not really explained, from the way caulifla is portrayed, it would seem like she'd hate kale because of how weak she is. Instead of making kale universe 6's broly, they could've lead with that but surprise us and show that she's actually that universe's gohan. Similar to gohan, she hates herself for allowing people to get hurt for her and causing more bad than good when she goes berserk, eventually it builds up and she's finally able to let it go and control her power. And it could literally be as simple as just giving a WHOLE episode (not just parts of one) dedicated to exploring kale and caulifla and another one for jiren, seeing those were the only opponents slightly focused upon in the T.O.P. these are just my opinions and ideas feel free to disagree

I think dragon ball needs to just take a leap of faith and let them fight in space not just a new planet. That’s what it should have been as a Super Saiyan God form. Just so fans can’t complain about the whole fighting on the planet thing. I definitely agree that worlds should be destroyed but come on by the fight with Cell they definitely had planet crushing ability just by shock waves of fighting on the planet. The way I see it is that it’s been a problem for a long time and at this point it’s just a logic we need to accept if they are not gonna fight in space. They have multi planet and universal but fight on the ground for scenery.

[@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou]

To emphasize how strong the villains are, you can’t have planet level opponents forever because goku and vegeta could just eventually surpass them. With this logic, anything past the original and early saiyans saga is practically pointless. The escalation is simply for fun, granted it does look stupid that universe busters don’t actively blow everything up. Even villains who supposedly want to kill everyone. There is practically nothing stopping frieza fork blowing up the earth and doing away with the saiyans in one fellow swoop.

[@rabiesbiter5681]

Goku's arc was always having an enemy more powerful and dangerous than he could be expected to face, gaining a mentor that can help him best his enemy, then besting more enemies until he completely outgrew his old mentor and needed a new one. But by the Buu saga, he had already pretty much outgrown every mentor in the universe and the afterlife, beaten a nigh invincible intergalactic threat and made even his most devoted rival acknowledge his superiority. This leaves only two options for the character. One is basically what Toriyama wanted for him. Namely, to retire Goku from fighting and turn him into a mentor. With neither new teachers nor new rivals, all there is for him is to pass the torch to Uub. Let him get old and live vicariously through whatever pupils there may be who can keep up with his training. But no. The Dragon Ball franchise basically is the Goku franchise. If Gohan couldn't change that, Uub sure as hell couldn't. Goku can't be sidelined. So that leaves the second option -- just reset him. GT reset him by turning him back into a little kid whose other dragon balls. Super reset him by introducing literal gods and angels to act as his mentors and/or enemies and simultaneously undoing the better part of his nearly fifty years of experience. (Yeah, Goku has to be in his mid to late 40s in Super. Chew on that for a while.) Sadly, this makes Goku a rather lame character. He essentially stopped aging, changing or in any meaningful way even learning since his training on Yardrat. But here's one more problem with the Goku reset that is Dragon Ball Super. It's back to Muten Roshi preparing Goku for the big martial arts tournament. Only Whis is Roshi. And that makes Vegeta the new Krillin. Isn't that a depressing thought -- Vegeta being the new Krillin?

[@SisyphusSRB]

That was his arc post timeskip/Z. In Dragon Ball it was a bit different. Collecting a Dragon Ball, becoming a pupil to Master Roshi, entering a tournament, Jackie Chun (Roshi) entering to show Goku and Krillin that no matter how strong they are, there is always someone stronger, Red Ribbon Army which Roshi could have defeated but it was a fun adventure arc, another tournament where Goku gets to test his new skills, but Roshi's point beign proven by Goku being defeated yet again by Tenshinhan. Piccolo Daimao debut, Dragon Ball takes a 360, it becomes darker. First death, not of some randos but of Krillin and Roshi, Goku's family at that point. From that point onwards that's when the classic formula began. Arc 1 strong enemy. Arc 2 stronger enemy. Arc 3 even stronger enemy. Arc 4 super duper stronger enemy. It's fine tho, I liked the OG DB manga so much.

@@Gokis47 Endgame was not a good movie. I thought I liked it at first, but that was just because of the hype. after some time passed, I realized that it actually sucks. most major character development happened off screen. it completely wasted opportunities for good storytelling that was built up. Bruce Banner and the Hulk becoming one happened off screen, despite being built up since the Incredible Hulk. Iron Man learning how to forgive not only Captain America, but also his own dad. Rocket dealing with the loss of the Guardians of the Galaxy, which was built up in the second Guardians movie. Captain America undid his character arc from Age of Ultron when he said that he didn't want a family anymore. Black Widow didn't even get her own funeral, she had one scene where everyone was sad and that was it. her death should have been devastating on Hulk, since their romance had been built up in Age of Ultron. Thanos in Endgame is a different Thanos than the one in Infinity War, so this movie gives us no reason to care about him since his personality is different. Captain Marvel didn't even need to be in the movie because she contributed nothing that couldn't be done by other characters. if the Infinity Stones being gone is so bad, then why hasn't the main MCU timeline been completely destroyed by not having Infinity Stones for 5 years? why didn't the Avengers go back in time to when Thanos had all the Infinity Stones, just slightly before the snap and cut his head off while Thor was trying to make Thanos suffer? if Captain America traveled back in time to an alternate timeline and never returned, how did he show up in the main timeline as an old man? especially since Hulk literally stated in this movie why that wouldn't work. why did they ruin a potentially great scene where Iron Man and Nebula find their way to Earth by having Captain Marvel just randomly find and save them? it would've worked much better if they had Iron Man get back using only his genius and limited tech. it would mirror Iron Man 1 perfectly and it would've worked great seeing as it was Iron Man's last movie. one scene that I really liked was when Ant-Man made it back to the world to find half of everyone gone. I was expecting some heartwarming dialogue with him and his daughter, but it never came and it was just skipped over. Star-Lords return to Earth should've been a big moment for him, seeing as he hasn't been there since he was a kid. I know they couldn't have that much time to do much, seeing as the movie has a lot of characters, but I would've liked to see him look around or saying something about Earth, but we didn't get anything close.

Goku Black should have been Goku from a very distant future who had lived too long and fought too many battles. That in those many battles there were many losses along the way and over time Goku became cold and was driven mad. Rose should have been a representation of Goku Black accessing the power of Despair. It could have been explained in an episode that as he lost friends along the way he lost access to his other forms because of the toll that had been taken on him emotionally. When the last of those he loved died at the hands of an enemy he could not defeat Goku pretty much fell off the cliff of Despair (metaphorically) and Rose unleashed itself. With the power of Rose he destroyed his foe and realized that this was the power he needed all along. But in his present, there are no Dragon Balls anymore, he can't bring anyone back and he can't fix the world. So his plan was to harden his heart go back in time and force his past self to access this power sooner. With it he could defeat his future foe but execute things in such a way that the Dragon Balls would still be in play. When he used the time ring for the first time it sent him to Future Trunk's time. He began to unleash havoc before realizing he wasn't where he meant to go but by that point his soul was already blackened too much to stop himself. Things could play out, normal Goku learns something about himself and now he and the team after having defeated Goku Black realize there is a new threat coming.

He used to be one of my favorite characters in DBZ, someone I looked up to, and was happy and excited to see him enter the battlefield, and even then it wasn't just a straight win, he genuinely struggled. The other characters may not be as strong as he is, but you knew they could keep up with him. And Goku always seemed to do the right thing for the right reasons. Sure, he liked fighting, and he enjoyed fighting against other strong fighters, but he still loved the life he had. It was clear he cared for his family and friends to not want to see them get hurt. And yet... Super's Goku felt incredibly dumb, insensitive, and whiney. He didn't seem to care about his family, he just cared about fighting strong people and getting stronger himself. That's all he ever cares about in Super, and eating lots of food I guess. He became stupid, regressing back to his first appearance in Dragon Ball before Bulma found him. It really felt like he didn't care for anyone, he was just happy to be able to fight against strong guys. Heck, apparently, according to Vegeta, non royal Saiyans can't love their family. Excuse me, WHAT? Goku being a Saiyan should NOT be the excuse for every stupid thing he does in Super. Not only does it retcon a lot of DBZ's lore of Saiyans, and Goku as a character, but it just feels like something Toriyama pulled out his butt as his excuse for making Goku incredibly dumb and selfish. And hearing that apparently Goku was always meant to be portrayed as this rather than the heroic Goku in the English dub just made me dislike Goku in Z now, feeling like that Goku was a lie. No matter how you look at it, Super's Goku is not Goku. It's just a shell of Goku, stripped of his personality, and only given the trait of loving to fight, and acting like a completely idiot that apparently people love.

[@joshuahackshaw7703]

No you are definitely right

[@viruschris3160]

I believe it’s that usually for Non-royal Saiyans to get marry as its consider abnormal in their society or very minor thing that concurs. I mean in Bardock: Father of Goku it didn’t seem like Bardock cared about his wife or mother of his sons too. They seem to expand that a bit more recently.

[@DarkFoxKit]

@@viruschris3160 Which do you consider 'canon' in the Dragon Ball universe? The manga or the special? Because apparently in the manga, Bardock *did* actually care for his wife. Besides, even if that were the case, that still doesn't make it okay. It was something that was only brought up in Super. In Z, while Goku isn't father (or husband) of the year, he was still protrayed as caring about his family as opposed to Super where he mostly acts like a child who ditches them just because he didn't want to do farm work.

[@viruschris3160]

@@DarkFoxKit For Bardock? Sadly, the manga is more or less the “canon” one for the current story of Dragon Ball. Though I like the Special more and think it COULD still be canon to the series but with obvious tweaks. I miss the team of 5 Saiyans with all various looks, Bardock being a more typical Saiyan you expect from the warrior Saiyan race. The visions. While I love the introduction of Gine, even the game Dragon Ball gave her good spotlight for her, I wish it didn’t undermined the Special. And it was that Special that allowed Bardock to exist and Akira to add him in the Frieza saga. Yet it was swept under the rug.

[@DarkFoxKit]

@@viruschris3160 Yeah. Truth be told, I really liked the Special too. And I like to think the reason why Saiyans didn't care about their mates is because of their culture, not because it's biological like Super seems to be heavily implying.

God I love your section on Goku, finally someone GETS IT!! A mature and respectable Goku who we can look up to, but who also when he does something silly like "MY BUTTS ON FIRE" in the frieza fight, it's actually a funny moment, a treasured part of his character.

The thing about Future Trunks is that he would have jumped at the Super Saiyan God ritual. He was not someone ruled by his pride, and was always much more focused on getting the job done. It could have been a great contrast to the feelings Goku expresses during Battle of Gods. Suppose the reason he came back was not to beg for Goku and Vegita to come with him and fight his battles for him, but because he somehow learned about the ritual and came back to the main timeline because he knew there were enough Saiyans alive to perform the ritual in that timeline.

1:50:35 Wow, I just got chills thinking about what the Goku Black arc could have been. Vegeta facing off against an evil Goku who murdered Bulma. Imagine Vegeta's emotions here as he stares at Goku Black, the face of the man he once despised, but over the years grew to respect as an ally, a friend, and a superior fighter. Goku has changed Vegeta from a cold blooded killer to one of the greatest heroes in history, a man dedicated to redeeming himself and protecting his family from people like the villain he once was long ago. Now, he has to fight "Kakarot", the fight he once craved, like in the Majin Vegeta arc, when he killed innocent people just to force Goku to fight him seriously. Imagine the shame Vegeta would feel fighting Goku Black, realizing that this enemy may look like Goku, but deep down he's more like how Vegeta used to be, a monster. Vegeta would be like a fan losing faith in the hero he once idolized. This is Goku, someone he aspires to be like, to one day surpass, to become worthy of Goku's legacy of heroism, to gain Goku's approval and respect, but now Vegeta's rival is unrecognizable. Vegeta can't derive any enjoyment or satisfaction from fighting THIS Goku. Imagine the banter of Goku Black insulting him for becoming weak and soft, of being a disgrace to the Saiyan race. Imagine Goku Black saying "isn't this what you always wanted? To finally get your revenge of Kakarot? What are you waiting for? This is your big chance!" In fact, screw the name "Goku Black" altogether. Let's have this version of Goku reject the name Goku given to him by Grandpa Gohan, a human, in favor of his Saiyan name, Kakarot. This could have been the best arc in Super, the most tense, emotional, impactful, and epic arc in Dragon Ball history. What a damn waste.

I knew Super was going to suck from day 1. From Battle of Gods, I knew that if it wasn’t a stand alone film, they had ruined Dragonball. How? Because if they continued, all it was going to be was another, generic power creep show. Goku gets the power of a FUCKING GOD! Literally the Super Sayian GOD. No one should be able to stand up to him, period. Goku is now the strongest mortal to have ever lived and to even hint that anyone would even come close to strong enough was laughable. Instead, we have Vegeta achieving the same thing off screen, and now they have a new transformation, and now Gohan is just as strong, and now Freeza is slightly stronger but he can’t maintain the form. Wait… FREEZA? The guy who couldnt stand up to a normal, brand new Super Sayian that had a fraction of the power of a Full Powered Super Sayian? Which was half as strong as a Super Sayian 2? Which was also left behind by Super Sayian 3, Mystic Gohan, and fusion powers? Freeza is now STRONGER than not only a god, but a god with the power of a Super Sayian? How? Oh… he TRAINED FOR FOUR MONTHS?!?!?!?! THATS IT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? And then it was all down hill from there. Now everyone is as strong as a god, other universes have people just as strong as Goku and Vegeta in base form just cause. New Sayians can turn Super Sayian 2 in a week. Everything that made Z great has been shit on or thrown out the window. Super is pure, unadulterated garbage and has been since its inception. I feel like Scholar is saying good things about the beginning only to soften the blow that Super is pure shit, because it was pure shit from the very beginning. There was NOTHING about the show that wasn’t generic and disrespectful to its past from DAY ONE. Ive never liked Super and to see everyone coming around because the initial hype has died down, the very same people who called me stupid or how i don’t know shit about Dragonball or whatever, are now making videos explaining why it sucks is frustrating at the least. Stop kidding yourself that Super was anything but a soulless, empty cash grab, because it wasn’t. Not even the parts that Scholar says he liked. They were shit wall to wall. Stop being blinded by nostalgia. Just because your favorite show is coming back doesnt make it good or even welcome. Remember that the creators have to actually care if you want your show to be anywhere near as good as it used to be.

Problem is that ui isn’t just a form, you also need a state of mind and a couple of other miscellaneous prerequisite. The only thing ui and ultra have in common is that they are both above the conventional ssj forms, but are different in practice. Besides that making him much easier to get then it already was, goku already had his potential unlocked with the ultra divine water so we know ui doesn’t do that. It breaks his limits but doesn’t inherently give him more potential. It’s also probably better this way, it gives ultimate its own identity instead of being a prerequisite for another form.

Love how "rage" became the go-to for super Saiyan transformations when it really was never about that in the first place. Goku embraced a sense of wrath, a desire to inflict suffering in order to achieve it. Vegeta dropped his pride and experienced self-loathing to find the power. Gohan finally accepted responsibility and found it. It was about dispelling a core aspect of their personality to find that power to transform. Saiyans have been one of the angriest, most violent beings in the universe for a very long time, and suddenly 'anger' is the way to bring out a transformation that hasn't been seen for 1000+ years, as if Saiyans are just the chillest hippy people. Give me a break. Don't get me started on the lame 'tingle' of universe 6 saiyans, again as if no one in their entire evolutionary history felt a tingle in their back. Honestly, everything after the Cell saga had horrendously bad writing, just shoe-horning things in for the sake of the plot they wanted to craft, despite all the precedent that had been established before hand. Oh Goten and Trunks are super saiyan at a tender young age, for . . . .reasons. . . I'd love a 'What If" from you if dragon ball played by their own rules that were established early on.

Goten and Trunks were super saiyans so that they could participate in the plot. If Goten and Trunks couldn't go super saiyan they would have had as much impact on the plot as Krillin. If that was the case they may as well have not existed. My personal theory is that Toriyama originally had some idea to have Gotenks and Gohan beat Buu and thereby set them up as the new protectors of the Earth. Ending the story with Goku and Vegeta dead and the Saiyans extinct. But the fans/editors wouldn't have it.

[@kayneassasin]

@@LSgaming201 Yeah it's pretty clear the story was supposed to be handed off to Gohan after Cell, but fans and/or internal struggles with the staff forced him to change direction so we had Gohan didn't train for 7 years to make him weaker than Vegeta and Goku who train 24/7 Like seriously Gohan, did you not do anything but wake up an study for 16 hours a day? I agree with you that Trunks and Goten had to become SSJ to become plot relevant and there very well may have been a plot that got cancelled where Gohan and Gotenks defeat Buu but unfortunately at the end of the day the show became Goku Time above all else. Though worth noting the Sayians aren't completely extinct even in your fan fiction of Vegeta and Goku being dead. There are still 3 half sayians which I think should count as they are genetically close enough to the originals, but yeah I get your point and would have liked to see it. Speaking of the bloodline, you'd think the prince of all sayians would at least try and have more than one kid, two if you count Bra in GT, just to try and preserve as much of his royal bloodline as possible.

[@LSgaming201]

@kayneassasin There was a point of about 50 episodes where the Saiyans are extinct. After Vegeta sacrifices himself against Buu, the Saiyans are extinct. Goku and Vegeta are both dead and Broly and Paragus weren't canon yet. So at that point. The Saiyans were indeed extinct.

[@yazanraouf9604]

I don't think I realised how bad dbs was until I started rereading the original dragon ball. The original dragon ball actually had soul, the writing was impeccable, the power-ups were fun and feel deserved, Krillin, Yamchan, and Tien were actually impressive and Tien became my favourite character. dbz was an entirely different ball game, the Super Saiyan was an incredible transformation and actually felt deserved. To this day I don't understand where Super Saiyan blue came from, we suddenly had blue and the original super saiyan god was nerfed and we didn't even see its proper potential. I liked the original Bardock far more than the dbs Bardock which is just a rehashed Superman story. I still like dbs, I still read the manga, but my god it's just so entirely bad.

[@westonmeyer3110]

Dragon Ball was legitimately amazing. Krillin was a true badass in it.

[@GeteMachine]

Something I recently felt I really hated about Super is that there never seems to be a consequence or cost in anything hanging over an arc or a power ups. It all feels like its just an episodic easy arc that has no stakes to them. And fights feel very formulaic. Like at least the Cell saga had costs. Vegeta wanted to prove his potential so he let Cell become perfect. The cost of that was Cell being too strong for him and he took it. that they let the Androids wake up, because they wanted to meet the next challenge, but at the cost of being killed and the Earth being systemically destroyed so they trained in motivation for it. Also Fighting 19 and 20 had a risk of them using their ki, it getting absorbed by them. A cost, a risk. Or in the Buu arc. Vegeta wanted to fight Goku again because they never had a rematch post Super Saiyan, but that came at the risk of Buu. But Vegeta had no choice because Goku would only be there for a day then back to the dead. Vegeta risked Buu waking up for his fight but he only had one option to get it. He at a cost became evil to force Goku to fight him. At the cost of him killing people and then they fought at the cost of Buu's energy waking him up. There was at least always a cause, an effect and a risk in the plot of the arcs to keep them interesting, Thats what tension is. Super doesn't have that at all. Power ups have no cost, risk or consequence. In Z it was the Oozaru, the risk of losing your mind and the weakness of the tail being cut. Then with SSJ Goku risked losing control of his anger to it, when he yelled at Gohan. Freeza at 100% risked getting weaker because of body strain. In the Cell arc, SSJ grade 2 cost the Saiyans their speed for muscle if they couldn't figure out how to ascend instead of power up. SS2 Gohan got it but at the cost of him losing himself to his Saiyan instincts and arrogance in the power difference. In the Buu arc, Majin Vegeta had to fight back against Babidi's commands to keep his released mind and power. SS3 the cost of the strain due to it being difficult to do outside of the afterlife or another dimension which was consistent. Fusion had the cost of either getting it wrong, or running out of time from power usage. Potata (formally had a cost unique to it) where it was irreversable. Fighting Super Buu was a risk because he could just absorb you if he was losing. Kid Buu as well or he'd just blow up the planet at random. But in Super whats the cost of SS God? SSB? Hakai power? Ultra instinct? What are the risks, and consequences in the arcs? Nothing. Freeza especially can just asspull power ups too, just training for a few minutes a day. Its awful. What exactly makes any of these arcs interesting? Sure the TOP has the risk of getting deleted forever, but even that they just forfeited at the last minute because Zeno changed his mind.

Another thing I like to think about is... Back in DragonBall and DBZ, the power of enemies, actually made sense... In DragonBall, Goku kept fighting enemies who were progressively stronger than the last, in believable ways. General Tiao, the Red Ribbon Army, King Piccolo. With the last being an actual Alien, so his power being off the charts, made sense. Then same thing in DragonBall Z, Raditz arrives. He is stronger than Goku and Piccolo despite all their life's training. Because he is an alien race from the same world Goku is actually from, which explains Gokus tail, and strength growth after fights, etc. Then Nappa and Vegeta arrive, they are high class warriors of the same race (introducing the concept of class based ranks. Raditz and Goku are low class, which is why they are not as powerful as Nappa and Vegeta) Then comes Bad space guys. They are all progressively stronger than the last because they are ranks in the next villains army, Frieza. Ginyu Force being the most powerful. Friezas elite of the elite. Then comes the tyrant Frieza himself. Biggest threat yet, because an actual Alien from a race of superior beings, with Friezas family being the top dog's of their homeworld. Next came the Androids... They were DESIGNED literally, from the ground up, to exploit the weaknesses of the Z fighters and to be stronger than the last villains, and the heros. Then Cell, who contains blood, genes, and DNA of allllll the characters in DragonBall and DragonBall Z giving him all their moves, techniques, skills, powers, abilities, and even other traits such as Piccolos knowledge and wisdom, and Vegetas Pride, Friezas cunning and ruthlessness and ability to survive in space, and Gokus battle genius, etc. Then came Buu, he is stronger than Cell, because he is literally a demon created through the darkest magic by a super wizard It may have been wacky, but it's anime. It all made sense within the confines of the show and it's own pre-established rules and universe In Super, no enemy makes sense. And the training is barely showed. We saw the long drawn out episodes of Goku on Snake Way and King Kais... We saw Piccolos training Gohan for months on end, and the rest of the Z-Team up on Kamis lookout... We saw them train in space, and 100x gravity, and Zenkai boosts, and Guru's power unlock, and then the three years of training for Androids. Vegeta in 500x gravity... Then the Hyperbolic Time Chamber... And we saw how powerful they got, but also their limits even after the training. It felt REAL. Genuine. Like a real life bodybuilder training for years, to become the champion in is hometown and even state. But yet failing to be the best in the country, or the world. And needing more training. We could see it took a long time of struggle and work and effort to get to the points they reached. Only for it to be not enough, and them needing more training to reach the next level. Gokus OG Super Sayian transformation felt so satisfying, because we saw Goku give everything he had prior to the transformation. Kaioken, the Kaioken x20 Super Kamehameha... Then the spirit bomb because he ran out of strength completely... Yet Frieza kept coming at him... We could literally FEEL the terror of this nightmare never ending, feel Gokus hopelessness and exhaustion. Then the death of Krillen pushed a broken, exhausted, mentally drained Goku to his limit and through a subconscious and conscious need for a miracle, the power of the legendary super sayian awakens... It was teased at before to, building up to it... Gokus golden aroura shining in during his Kaioken power up for Captain Ginyu. Or Vegetas talking about the myth episodes before... There was multi episode build up to establish a solid foundation for the new form. So Super Sayian was believable... Nothing in DB Super, is. And that is the problem

[@Supahdenning]

It's a false equivalence because GT has nothing to do with Toriyama(the visual designs alone are irrelevant). If anything, Super is more comparable to the prequels, with the original creator losing respect and being thought of as holding the franchise back, classic characters being given poorly-received immature portrayals(albeit less literally) and the entire vibe that it exists only for merchandising.

[@LordGihrenZabi]

@@Supahdenning No, my comparison works just fine, GT and the Prequels are both the ‘middle child’ of their franchise, looked upon with disdain, until a later disappointing sequel caused people to reconsider them, none of the behind the scenes stuff about who made them or why is relevant to what I was getting at. I also think in the case of Star Wars, people view the sequels as a more cynical cash grab then the prequels, but that’s just my experience talking with people about them.

@@LordGihrenZabi The reasoning for such a comparison is weak, conflating GT and the Prequels in this cultural period is highly misleading, as GT does not offer a fraction of the value the Prequels do, even within their respective contexts.

I'm not a decade long dragon ball fan(because I'm a teenager rn) but I grew up with dragon ball. The first version of dragon ball I ever watched was Dbgt, when I was 8. I liked it, and I later on found out about the og Dragonball and dbz. I watched all of them before I became 10. I loved the series so much, that I began to read the magazines, to find out more official stuff about the franchise. I was hyped for battle of gods, and it really delivered. Resurrection f was honestly disappointing, and everything in that movie felt flat to me. When dragon ball super came around, I was extremely excited(I already started power scaling by then) and I started the series with everyone. But it had the same problems with resurrection f, it was flat, emotionless, flashy and had crappy power scaling. Ssj is a 50x multiplier, which would mean ssj blue would have to be 50 or more times stronger than ssj god and that was just adding on too much, too fast. The two things I actually loved in super, were the broly movie, and ultra instinct (even the execution was a bit poor for that concept). As you said, after super ended, I started to appreciate Dbgt a lot more and the end result was that I respected it more than dbs. I'm currently reading the Moro arc(I'm up to date btw) but it still feels emotionless tbh. I really don't know if the franchise can come back from such a big fall.

The prequels were original they had one of the most interesting eras is galactic history and the clone wars conflic was ten times bettre than the galactic civil war especialy with the colone tropers and their jedi generals. I also prefear the jedi of the prequel era over the jedi that came after them. They were wiser more noble and had superior skills over all.
