    Where did the name 'Roshi' come from?

    As Kenshi said, it literally means Old Master, with the full title of Muten Roshi roughly meaning "The Invincible Old Master" as Viz sometimes translates it as. For comparison, the anime/manga Saint Seiya has Shiryu refer to his master Dohko as "Roshi" up until the reveal of his youthful self in...

    Taopaipai's age

    Without resorting to the cheap answer of "GT plot hole" it wasn't stated there was any kind of perpetual peace in those 100 years and GT already established there were a handful of Boo tier characters roaming around the universe. Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume some villain showed up...

    How does Goku do to be so good?

    Sparing Tao Pai Pai was the one case here that was pure naivete. The rest have a lot more going on with them. He made it apparent why he spared Piccolo, being that he didn't want Kami and the Dragon Balls to disappear, as well as to a lesser extent not wanting to get rid of the only person who...

    17’s ToP feats

    Dyspo and Vegeta hadn't been whacked by Kefla/Jiren whilst doing so, let alone with the same level of effort as those they were saving.

    UI Goku (Current) vs Merus?

    Granolah's power is currently pure speculation and UI Goku likely surpassed Moro in general during their fight given Whis' statement of UI adapting to its opponent, but other than that, yes.

    How much time passed between the Future arc and ToP?

    Manga-wise, there's no real timeframe given and the lack of major growth from Pan would suggest it wasn't really more than maybe a month or two. If assuming the dates given in the Xenoverse games are to be treat as canon to the manga timeine, then it could be potentially bigger as the FT Arc's...

    Should I watch super?

    I stand corrected: one of the two only things in Super that needs to be watched. The Dr. Slump crossover was pretty nice too, even if unessential.
  8. Captain Cadaver

    UI Goku (Current) vs Merus?

    Whis stated UI Goku's power was at the bottom of what the Angel's techniques are capable of, so he's probably at best equal to pre-revival Merus. I wouldn't say him having power and speed equal to Moro after stealing Merus' abilities and then overcoming him makes Goku superior to Merus when Moro...

    Should I watch super?

    Episode 5's original broadcast version is the only part of Super that needs to be watched.
  10. Captain Cadaver

    M9 Vegeta vs M9 Trunks

    It's a stretch to say Bojack had to step in. Vegeta immediately rushed at him before the henchmen had a chance to attack him and Trunks had been fighting not just Bojack, but his henchmen prior as well as having been KO'd by an off-guard attack from Bojack before that. Going to give this to...

    Gyumaoh vs Giran

    Gyumao ought to win. We're forced to draw from the anime in terms of his feats, in which he casually tanked BoDB Goku's attacks. I don't see Giran tanking Galu's hits to the same degree, or being able to endure multiple rifle shots as Anime Gyumao did. I doubt Guruguru Gum would help much due to...

    Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

    Okay. I should be able to read one chapter today, though I'll be busy tomorrow and may be pretty late getting back to you about the 2nd one.

    XXX vs XXX

    Saibaiman ought to win. Vegeta couldn't even knock Yajirobe unconscious with his punch, compared to someone not far stronger than the Saibaiman like Raditz easily tanking a Kamehameha with Ki not much less than Yajirobe's level. Vegeta's injury would also include his eye, which would make things...

    Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

    Don't often check it out unless I get a notification, and receiving notifications for it can be really inconsistent at times. That, and I generally prefer just sticking to the forum at times since there's less chance of some discussions getting quickly buried.
  15. Captain Cadaver

    Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

    Considering Far From Home was pretty bad and the MCU post-Endgame has been quite directionless thus far, I'm not expecting much from it beyond perhaps a reference to the Raimi trilogy like J.K. Simmons' cameo in FFH's post-credits scene. This might have be different if the old leak of it somehow...

    17’s ToP feats

    Piccolo was caught off guard with that defence, and blocking Jiren's punch wasn't #17's only feat against him, and Zamasu needn't have put in much effort to wipe out what was for the most part regular humans. He also endured being smacked away by Jiren immediately after blocking the punch you're...

    17’s ToP feats

    #17 also took a hit from Jiren at the same time he was using enough effort to tool Golden Freeza, so I'd say he's not without feats to back up the statements for the high-end interpretation of his power.

    Ace's Haoshoku Haki

    Considering Marco commented that Shanks used the same type of Haki as WB when knocking out the fodder with Haoshoku rather than bringing Ace into thee equation too, it seems very doubtful Ace could use it at will. probably never developing it further past his childhood. The only source that says...

    Taopaipai's age

    Yeah, the lifespans of Roshi, Tsuru Sennin, Tao and Karin are definitely based on the Chinese and Japanese legends of sages living extremely long through Chi/Ki mastery. There's also Super revealing Roshi eats some special herb now and then to increase his lifespan, which plugs any holes that...

    One thing GT did better than Super

    It's definitely become more popular as people have become more clear on just how low the bar fell with Super's flaws as each new arc progressed (eg. practically everyone from the casual viewer to the critical thinker despising the ending of the Future Trunks Arc), as well as people being more...
