Modern Tien is capable of being involved in big battle events (as per ToP), but nowhere near as a central or deciding factor. It didn't come to mind. Dragon Ball tends to go down the brute force route as opposed to extreme hard-countering as well.

Unfortunately, there's little to no meat on the bones when it comes to survival feats in almost all scenarios. What matters: - Damage (beyond cosmetic damage, can they reduce their opponents' health significantly?) - Win Cons (now that we know they can inflict damage, do they have the ability...

It gave Trunks a chance to show his strength and competence prior to transitioning to the next plot. But that's a sad way to go out for a character that gave everyone hell at the end of the last plot. Previously imposing characters getting wrecked is just part of the Dragon Ball life cycle. Tao...

If Tupac starts in his hologram form, then he could stalemate. Otherwise, HIM blitzes. Tupac was cautious of gunfire and potentially dying from it throughout his run. That throws a spanner in the works of his scaling.

Even barring his monster form, Zarbon got his hands dirty quite a bit, while Whis fights in a comparatively clean and evasive way. It would seem that being 'fabulous' would fall in-line more with the latter. Frieza's subordinates' clothes look battle-oriented. The angel garments seem fancier.

Strength-wise, Goku Black low-diffs them. Character-wise, it's between Goku Black and Baby Vegeta. I would say the former, but I can see a case for BV. Copy-Vegeta was a bit more gimmicky, and you could tell that the situation would sort itself out fairly soon.

Nothing major. You could say the armored being would look less rough after a destructive fight. Though if Piccolo's around, that can be fixed up in no time.

Talk of Universal power came quite late into GT, while it's a central theme early on in Super. Not that this level of power isn't respected later on in the show of course.

It played a big role in the iconography of the show, especially the scouter-based variant of it. While its canonical relevance faded away -- at least numerically -- it's hard to imagine something else filling the gap in its absence had it not ever been a thing.

The emphasis was on Cell's level-up altogether, in which stats follow suit. From his POV, perfectionism was properly realized this time despite the previous 'set back'. His KHH was significant in the sense that it's associated with solar system tier, standardizing that level of power rather than...

Potara runs out after an hour according to modern material. I know that Buu's body is a special case since that can even make Kais defuse.

Relative to his potara counterpart. They were both essentially deus ex machina options for whichever Buu is giving them more trouble than they bargained for. The concept of Vegito's longevity waned when we found out how the duration differs for mortals.

Both of those things didn't matter much in terms of accepting him, but being strong is definitely a bonus in terms of how his friends viewed him. Visible differences lightly hinted at him being different, but didn't stabilize in a way that would concern his origin in part 1. Power-related...

Given the bonds Goku formed on Earth, and him wanting to avoid association with Raditz, it would be the former. Though a Saiyan on the same page as him (F. Trunks - fights bad guys, grew up on Earth) will be treated like one of the team, though the F. Trunks situation is a rare one.

If Vegeta 'found' him, then what? Seems like it'd be a rather awkward encounter.

1. M5 Goku 2. Frieza crushes. Too early to sandbag with Kaioken against him

Watched the original and the Metal Saga a long time ago. The format is what you would expect from an action Shonen - battle, training, rivalry, bonds, obstacles, etc. just channeled through spinning tops and the beasts associated with them. The beasts are based on a variety of different mythos...

Kibito didn't seem to care for what Piccolo could do, but then again he held a default position that non-Gods are beneath his kind altogether, until Gohan threw a spanner in the works. Would give it to Piccolo since Kibito wasn't rock solid in terms of scaling. His ability to heal and teleport...

Goku takes it. Wider moveset and doesn't get as panicky when things aren't going his way. Vegeta not only recognised Goku's talent for power gains, but also his approach to fighting as well as we saw from late Buu Arc.

No problem GSM - you responded with something relevant and it technically wasn't you that revived the thread. From what I've seen, you usually stick to the topic in each debate, so you are not bothersome in the slightest.
