The discrepancy is actually so large that even when Ginyu is in Goku’s body, he notes that he can fly faster than in his own body even though he can only output a power level of 23k tops. It’s kinda silly. I don’t think Toriyama really thought it through.

Dr. Gero. His baseline strength should've been a little higher and his ability to absorb ki should've been taken advantage of better. A storyline could've been written around the main characters relearning how to fight without a reliance on ki blasts (I read somewhere that this was actually the...

A person's strength and speed isn't automatically proportional with another person's strength and speed, it's just that most of the time it works out that way. We're shown examples like Burter being faster than his peers or Goku without Kaioken being faster than Ginyu. It's a weird assumption to...

American secondaries are better off thinking he's Superman, because they're not actually gonna check subbed DB/Z or the manga once you tell them he's not; they're just gonna watch DBS and/or the DBS movies and go "ah, so this was the original intent," arriving at an even worse misconception than...

It's kind of a regression but regression isn't always indicative of inconsistent writing. Characters can regress. I just think it's a little boring that he learns the same lesson about fighting for others twice.

His statement is referring to Goku's genius, but the end result should also be that the power gap hasn't closed at all. If it had, then on paper, Vegeta could eventually close it by spending a few more years training, but that's not what the narrative suggests.

Toriyama is a genius artist. Plot has never really been his priority.

You can probably write off a lot of ki sensing inconsistencies with "their emotional state at the time made it so they didn't notice, for some reason."

I have a vague recollection now that you mention it. He didn't convince me, but that's neither here nor there. On the note of CC and things he vouched for, you could give Legend of the Galactic Heroes a try. I can vouch for that one.

Ain’t no way bruh

Nah bruh

Goku has already surpassed Vegeta, so of course it's different in that sense.

He probably just means that he’d subconsciously hold back if he tried to maim himself.

It might be that because he was already tired, expending more ki just had more of a deleterious effect in general. But the other points are good.

Punpun's a pretty good coming-of-age story about unstable, corrupted, clinically depressed people. I think it's executed quite well, although in retrospect the Pegasus cult shit got to be a bit much. @Papasmurf We never really talked much about the story, but I imagine the weirdo apocalyptic...

Yeah. Alright. I wasn’t sure what the argument was.

His power in the Raditz fight seems way more volatile. It fluctuates way more with his emotional state than it does later, where he has a baseline and it only increases when he snaps and loses all control. He has zero control over his power in the Raditz fight, unlike later. If Gohan went...

Alright, that makes sense. Then I'll go with Cell powering up sometime before he bear hugs Gohan.
