[@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

[@fr0stdr4ke95]

[@goncalosilva5369]

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.

[@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

never seen anyone hate on super saiyan 2. Im pretty sure Goku fought in super saiyan 2 more than 1 in Super.

[@crazywave6574]

He did. Its not a bad transformation. Its better than ssj by a long shot. The problem isthat the artists sometimes forget to draw the distinction between ssj1 and 2. Also ssj3 is the most useless cause it takes too much energy to keep up. Goku says it multiple times. Why use it when u got ssj2 or super saiyan god?

[@PetarSon]

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.

The dragon balls make sense, Ganoralah became the strongest at a cost. They had to upgrade the DB for Piccolo to unlock his potential. Plus we all wanted Piccolo to catch up

[@miro6816]

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.

[@poiso3597]

Piccolo (fused with Kami) was the namek that created the dragon. That’s why orange piccolo was fitting. This also could be the “super namekian” that had been teased all through dragon ball. Also, he couldn’t have wished for the potential unleash because he never had the chance to after fusing with Kami.

[@ThePerfectMenace]

Gohan has no excuse for beast, Gohan by the time they arrive at the cell games was stated by Goku himself to be stronger than Goku and everyone els. So Gohan just with mastered super saiyan was already the strongest there. Then he sees multiple of his friends, including his best friend piccolo and his own dad get brutal pummeled by cell jrs and watches the only friend who knew how it felt to not like violence (16) die because of gohans actions. It wasn’t just rage that set Gohan off, it was sorrow, sadness, and gohans blame in himself that caused the form to finally awaken. Meanwhile in super hero he sees piccolo get a bit bruised up and somehow despite being weaker than goku and vegetas blue forms. Somehow managers to clime beyond their strongest forms. That’s Mickey as hell.

[@randomrave6635]

Well it wasnt JUST piccolos potential, piccolos potential came in the form of the power awakening state where he was slightly yellowish green. But orange piccolo was the extra power that shenron granted him."all you have plus a little extra."

[@504gucci4]

You mean kami & piccolo sr ? Technically only Kami made them, but i guess because piccolo & kami came back together later

[@Intr0vertical]

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.

[@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

[@icecreamchief5417]

Okay, I wish to make a little argument for Orange Piccolo (You don't have to agree with me, just hear me out). When he made the wish, yes, he got pretty powerful... _HOWEVER_ when OP showed up, the voice-line that Shenron said showed up ("A little something extra") implying that was external intervention. Could you make the argument that kind of form shouldn't happen in DB? Yeah, in the same way Super Saiyan God shouldn't. But it should be remembered, this movie was originally for _Piccolo_ and Gohan was tagged in later, as such, this form has significantly more narrative relevance when looking through the movie than Beast does. But that's my opinion, do what you want with it.

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?

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.

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.

Although i don't fully agree that we hadn't had a great villain since dbz frieza (although i do think he is the best villain), i think cell and his entire arc is indeed overrated. Gero, android 19, android 17, 18, and 16 were thrown at the viewer in hopes that people would like them as the "main antagonists" but cell was the best one to become a villain so everything before cell appears is a waste of time. That's like 1/3rd of the entire arc. Cell himself is a great concept but is mostly a pushover and a coward until he absorbs 18. Piccolo could've killed him in their first encounter if cell didn't use solar flare. Vegeta could've killed him in his 2nd form, but he was way too confident and let him become perfect. Even trunks could've killed him if vegeta gave him the chance. He isn't very intimidating or anything in those moments. Just another weak pushover that gets demolished by vegeta. That's 1/3rd of the arc where the main villain is a pushover and coward. Cell, in his perfect form, does become a good villain. He demolishes vegeta, makes trunks give up, waltzes in a news station to announce the cell games, has a very intense fight with goku that tests goku out tremendously, and even he gave up. But he then starts going down the vegeta route when he fights gohan. Purposely lets him get stronger to the point that cell can't beat him and gets demolished even after a zenkai boost. When frieza caused goku to get stronger, it was unintentional, and it was basically karma for everything that frieza has done. Cell was basically like vegeta was when vegeta fought cell in his 2nd form. All those IQ points gone to waste.

Sage dounds like he only watched GT dub not sub and it’s a shame because sub really helps realize the ideas of the narrative much better. The dialogue can be so drastically different in instances that it entirely changes how you interpret it.

[@TSO_Sage]

seen it sub, same exact take bro lol. emotion or ideas was never an issue with the series. tbh you kinda siced it lol but anyways the language/interpretation doesn’t change my thoughts on super 17 being dumb & his doctor worse, any dragon outside of nova being annoying, goku having fodder fights in hell, parapara, and nasty callbacks.

[@Wet_n_Soft]

@@TSO_Sage I gotta admit ain’t no saving Super 17, from what I’ve heard there were problems in the writers room that lead to an through that arc. 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. Also yeah I definitely played too much Buddokai Tenkaichi 3 as a child. I still refer to Jeice as Juice because of Chi Chi’s library.

im sure im alone on this but goku black deserves more respect, im a sucker for a complex character and hes up their in complexity. it sucks how he got defeated but his character arc was cool to me

[@suadmaluc8971]

Y'know now that I think about it tien just aimed a little to the side and blasted 18 we probably wouldn't have any problems with cell since eventually vegeta and trunks would come out and just kill him

[@DODIRTT]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@calvinmccullough9499]

FRIEZA NOT RACIST!! He literally calls the saiyan race monkeys, used them as slaves to do his dirty work, and wipe out all but 4 of them (raditz, nappa, vegita, goku) who were off world in DBZ saga

[@DrBacalex]

11:08 He was given the god form, but I dont think we’ve seen Vegeta get it 👀

[@Kyonvtuber]

How in the absolute hell is Base Kefla stronger than SSG goku. That makes no sense whatsoever. Now, I think about it the biggest, if not one of the biggest issues with DBS, is the inconsistent storytelling and power scaling of the entire series. This is the first time in my life I can't even tell which is better between anime or manga.

[@dusty_rhodez]

Wait technically frieza isn't racist he only did what he did was because beerus commanded him to get rid of them

[@fernandez9775]

Vegeta actually never lost to Goku and they only had 3 actual fights, everything else was sparring. 1.He defeated Goku in the Saiyan Saga and was defeated by Gohan, Krillin and Yajirobi 2.He knocked Goku out during the Buu Saga 3. He defeated Goku in DBS:SH

[@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

I can agree with people that buu is a lesser villain than Cell, Frieza and vegeta, specially when it comes to depth but dammit i love him anyway, just because his pure evil chaotic unhinged energy is so different. Why can't we have crazy villains who're crazy for crazyness sake? I mean Buu was supposed to be a demon right??? I think that he's perfect for that 3rd saga where Goku feels Like he's in control of everything, then its obvious that the villain would look like a funny joke to him. (Also we have the Vegetto beating down Buuhan wich is fucking awesome

Regarding the Future Gohan part I get Kami would be dead because Piccolo is gone but you really telling me Popo couldn’t have gotten to Gohan and had him and Trunks train in the time chamber? The Androids can’t sense energy and nobody really knows about the lookout other than Goku really. Plus Yajirobe is still alive. Kind of Mickey to me 🤔

[@TSO_Sage]

same as Beerus , he’s much more of an antagonist vs a true evil villain

[@dalejhunter1]

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.

[@freakinchris]

I loved SSR it was a dope form it didn’t always look godly cause he calmed down and went ssj2 again but the aura the him feed off the angry fear and energy around him was cool it’s not the best or coolest form but it’s not bad either there are worse

[@KaseyC.]

You're a hype beast.

[@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

[@Zeyro1]

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

[@brotbrotsen1100]

And goku 100% deserved the form, without goku there wouldn't be enough sayians to have this ritual in the first place.

[@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 actually really like GT, like all of it. But for what it is, a non-canon dragonball story lol

My anime hot take. Super is ass. And if you like it. You have zero taste and should never have an anime opinion again cause it’s that bad. They MURDERED GOKU.
