Didn't know it was. I did just watch Goku and Chi-Chi get engaged, though. (For real, not the one where Goku thought "bride" was food)

Not really. Goku punched a hole through his gut.

...Wait, does Piccolo day count for King Piccolo, too?

Piccolo Day is for all the Piccolos.

All two of him.

As for your progress with the Goku Black Arc, let us know when you find out why Zamasu is in the future.

I got a video to post, but I want to make sure there's no spoilers in it so I'm holding off.

"Vegeta didn't ki spam against Cell, it only shows him firing twice"

The manga panels clearly show Vegeta's arms ghosting to represent rapid movement, followed by multiple layered explosions.

Like, it is undeniable that the anime added many *many* more instances of ki spam, but he undercuts his own argument by showing several pictures of ki spam and pretending they only "half count", like that makes any sense.

It's actually really funny that he shows the panel of Vegeta firing two visible bease with the ghosting hands as not ki-spam and then fades to the panel of Goku with ghosting hands and two-visible beams and that's ki-spam.

Like you think he may have noticed when they're back to back like that.

But also doesn't touch on how ki spam happens in... every other story arc. I think this one might actually be intentionally dishonest, since I don't see how someone can miss that.

I've never seen this guys reviews so not sure if there's pretense for that.

Well ultimately the point is that it doesn't happen as much as the anime would lead you to believe.

It does not happen as much as in the anime, but it really wouldn't have been dishonest to just individually point to every single time it happened. Which is like 4 or 5 times. Instead of going on about how often it happens or doesn't happen.

Not Mark is usually better than that.

My favorite underrated joke about Buu using "Vegeta's technique" is that it implies he copied it from Vegeta, except Vegeta never used it against Buu. Meaning it's not "Vegeta's technique", it's just a generic ki blast barrage, and Goku assumed it was copied from Vegeta because he uses it so much.

Not sure if this is anything, but it seems Future Trunks is next in-line for Fortnite.

And it seems a leak has been out (confirmed to be fake) that implies Android 18 (who's my most wanted character next to Violet Parr), Majin Buu, Broly, Gogeta and Vegito might be happening as well. And they were on last year's fan survey.

Do what they did when they brought the Giant Chicken into the game. Buu's probably going to be sized similar to him, unless they're going with Super Buu as the base.

Gruff and the Giant Chicken are proof big sized characters can get into the game.

People often say Goku has no signature move in the canon.

I disagree, Goku's iconic move is biting

Kid buu?

Probably not happening since it's likely gonna be Good Buu (as that's Majin Buu's most popular form), unless they resize him similar to Frieza's first form.

Nappa being bald is a plot hole. It doesn't fit with current Saiyan Lore.

Saiyan Lore:

  • Saiyans have the same hairstyle from their birth to old age.

  • Saiyans mature in bursts, going from one stage of life to the next in a relatively short span of time. This happens twice in a Saiyan's life.

    • Saiyans go through puberty really fast near the end of their teenage years. They go from small to tall quickly.

    • Saiyans stay in the prime of their adulthood for a long time, then age quickly to elderly.

Therefore, Nappa's baldness is a plot hole. We see in Minus and Broly that Nappa had hair in his youth, therefore he should keep that hair until he suddenly becomes elderly. Now, you could argue that Nappa has started entering that transition to elderly and he's still got a few months to go before he looks like Paragus, except he looks exactly the same when Raditz died a year ago, still bald.

If Nappa's design was consistent with Toriyama's lore, he should have had hair when Raditz dies, then lost it in the pod and made a comment about how he's starting to get old when on Earth.

The lore on Saiyan hair isn't as absolute as Vegeta made it out to be. Remember that Raditz had hair which reached his ankles both as a child and as a 6ft adult.

But then he should have regrown the hair in the pod ride to Earth, right? Unless he was actually shaving his head the whole way there.

[up]Yeah, the style stays the same, relative to the body.

Bardock is noted by other Saiyans as being a weirdo for being "monogamous" and "married" and "in love", so maybe preferring Gine, a passive weakling, is part of him being a weirdo.
