It looked as though Buu -- particularly the fat and super variants -- seem okay taking strikes with little to no defense or direct counters, but we're typically presented with their dominance sooner or later in such circumstances. However, Base Vegito came across better in his fight, and we...

In the DBS anime? Let's see the quote

If we were to apply meaning to the quote outside of the Vegito stuff, it's possible this speaks more to pre-tail Goku. His confidence against Base Baby was solid until his kid body sapped SSJ3 out of him in no time. Buu Arc Vegito (anime) being a peer to Baby Arc Goku (form for form) is...

212 eps in, G-8 thoughts: Prioritizes tactics and impromptu scenarios to give the Straw Hats a different type of challenge than a high-stakes physical fight. A bit of a slog, but I get what they were going for. It'd be interesting to see the edges of Chopper's morality when it comes to his...

Both were capable of causing serious harm to the other when defense is lacking. A fighter can have a FP blast win-con and still be faced with a high-diff battle (ex. Goku vs Kid Buu).

194 eps in, Enel was straightforwardly evil, although his interactions + the flashy AoE attacks made it entertaining. In regard to the wider Shandians/Skypieans plot, I can't think of any other new character that had staying power in terms of keeping you hooked. The idea of being the most...

Nah, but I'd watch

Ever since DB started leaning heavily into the timeline stuff (all those DB Heroes trailers from years back), an idea like this got less and less crazy. Then came SDBH, and practically anything goes now.

Tien vs Semi-Cell is up there. Kid Buu following through with a planet-bust was indeed wild, but his chaotic nature was strongly pushed by the narrative. Who would expect Tien to significantly effect someone that tanked 16, who was the strongest of a group that could wash pre-RoSAT Super Saiyans.

146 eps in, The main filler characters of the past two arcs were kinda stale. It's generally hard to be invested in filler characters/stories because they have limited time to make their mark, and temporary shelf life in the grand scheme of it all. In an ideal hypothetical, the filler...

131 eps in, Crocodile vs Luffy trilogy - there was a decent amount of variance between the fights, with Luffy making adjustments in the rematches, while Croc decreased his handicaps each time. Having a positive score against Luffy ought to be acknowledged, given how dominant he's been in almost...

He had his sights set on taking down the Super Saiyan version of Goku. When there's someone with a massive power lead (like Frieza, a big part of his immortality plan), he's willing to play the waiting game to work towards overcoming them.

120 eps in, Brief take on Vivi - I understand that the point is to protect her, but seeing someone constantly on the defensive isn't engaging. Usopp and Nami - I appreciate that Nami brought up their unimpressive strength and wanted to do something about it. Usopp didn't really engage with the...

106 eps in, The lion's share of the Alabasta journey has been about the survival aspect, particularly health-wise rather than battle-wise, with an indication that serious battles will resume after the current jail dilemma in Rain Dinners. There's also the rebellion factor with Koza, although...

96 eps in, Chopper's getting more familiar with the team. Outside of the medical stuff, I think his mini form could come in handy for finding shelter / hiding when needed, and his jacked form could catch an aggressor off-guard upon transformation. Further insight into the Baroque Works...

86 eps in, (Little Garden, further thoughts) Mr 3 shook things up a fair bit, but the giants integration into the story weakened the momentum in getting further up the Baroque Works ranks. Just didn't seem like an angle worth pursuing with what was being built. (Drum Island, so far) Similar to...

71 eps in, (Whisky Peak) Decent balance between new information and action, with foundational details about Baroque works revealed, while getting an understanding of what some of them can do in battle. It makes you curious about the upper levels of the hierarchy. In terms of Luffy/Zoro - it's...

63 eps in, (Warship Island, further thoughts) There wasn't much to get you invested in Eric obtaining immortality, or seeing a disgruntled dragon barely doing stuff. If Eric's plans were more fleshed out, and they leaned into Ryu's senility a bit more to set up a fight with the Straw Hats in...

57 eps in, Loguetown appeared to be a break from the more malicious encounters of the previous arc, although tension was still there given Smoker's intention of halting the crew's Grand Line journey. Further insight into certain things; such as Yasopp's tenure as a pirate, and what swords are...

46 eps in, With Arlong's terror being much more personal and long-standing, it gave his defeat further weight than the previous fallen antagonists; no wonder the villagers celebrated so hard. Zoro had built a name for himself by the time he had debuted, but it looks like Luffy is catching...
