Days of Endless Battle is good as expected of a CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA instrumental. The Chozetsu Dynamic instrumental and Fistfight Battle are OK. The rest are pretty meh and lack much identity or distinctiveness to allow them to stand out compared to the average ost. The track Settlement in particular sounds like it's taken as much inspiration from other works as the average Yamamoto track (but nowhere near as kewl), with the part at 0:30 sounding very much like a part from a Disney Song (though I can't remember which one).

This music is just so epic. Especially when Goku jumps-out of the crater, when everyone thinks he's dead like the video shows. The music always reminds you of that moment when that plays.

Goku vs Piccolo-Daimao is about to begin and Goku blocks his punch.

Goku & Piccolo-Daimao fighting on King-Castle being exhausted and all, IIRC.

Goku makes his way to the battle-field against the Saiyans, before making his epic entrance. Gr9 Cha-La-Head-Cha-La bgm version.

One of the few Boo-Saga tracks I really, really like played in a-lot of Boo-Saga episodes in the end, normally when-ever there was hope against him or training going-on.

All great tracks, particularly the version of Piccolo Daimao's theme featured there. As far as Boo Arc themes go, I'd say the best one was "Seigi wo Ai Suru Mono" (the We Gotta Power instrumental that plays during a lot of battles, mainly those featuring Gohan, such as Gohan VS Dabura and Ultimate Gohan VS Evil Boo).

DC by far purely due to Watchmen. If not including secondary entries of DC such as Vertigo Comics, then Marvel for movies and DC for comics purely due to not haven't devolved into SJW :trash like modern Marvel.

Watchmen is easily one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comic books out there. It's story is something that can be called a true deconstruction of the superhero genre, highlighting the outcome of superheroic vigilantes being unable to adapt to the realities of the world and exploring varied ideas of what's truly justice; from Rorschach's absolutism to Ozymandias' Machiavellian philosophy with the pair acting as great foils for each other and a good display of the dual-nature of humanity's ideas of good and evil. On the subject of character's the interesting take on a godlike being walking amongst us in Dr. Manhattan also links with the structure of the comic, with it's simultaneous and non-linear portrayal of time through constant flashbacks and displays of past events through newspaper articles allowing for further complexity. This also links heavily with the perpetual idea in it's ending that no single master plan will yield to eternal results of the greater good. If I were to point out any flaw in it, it would be that the inter-dimensional alien towards the end of the comic was jumping the shark a bit.

As for the movie, it's almost a 100% faithful adaption. Most fans hate it, though this tends to be for pretentious reasons such as cutting out a lot of the miscellaneous characters and the comic book which foreshadows the ending, which whilst making it inferior to the comic, it isn't by a wide margin. They even fix my one complaint with the comic in using a plot device linked far closer with the in-universe laws and Dr. Manhattan's conflict than the comic.

Comic - 9/10
Movie - 8/10

Most worthless manga I've had the displeasure of reading. For one, the fact that both Kinnikuman and Naruto did everything it's been doing far better makes it's reason to exist completely redundant. For example, the concept of the Hero Exam makes absolutely no sense when most characters are plot armoured by hidden rules and judges' personal bias, going against the very concept of heroism. That wasn't even the first time it betrayed it's premise anyway, as the existence of quirks that could just be handed to characters such as it's textbook beta cuck of a protagonist made everything prior about him showing he could get by with hard work makes any potential the series had to be decent gone. On the subject of characters, each one is a one-note person defined by either a single personality trait or a power, as well as all featuring bland or terrible designs. The only exception in aesthetics was All Might during the first few chapters, before the laziness and lack of detail in his true form ruined that as well. Then there's the vast amount of tired tropes of conveniences being thrown around more often than even Bleach did, with characters becoming strong enough to oneshot opponents with a resolve boost, poor fight choreography and it's female cast consisting of either oversexualised minors or walking fetishes (and when the only one with even a semi-decent face is that one that looks slightly like Base Kale, who even cares about their bodies?) It's easy to see why many people have started comparing it to Fairy Tail, which is pretty accurate. Hell, I'd give Fairy Tail the edge since at least it's art is decent and even good on a carnal level.

To conclude, it's a series that should have been kept under the radar or at least concluded by now if the modern majority of anime fans had any sort of standards. This is the definition of more of the same with it bringing absolutely nothing new to the Battle Shonen formula to the point people should question why it even exists beyond the superhero flavour, which Kinnikuman did far better. Even Naruto was better, and Naruto was shit.
At least it probably isn't as bad as Black Clover.

1/10. Would be tempted to make it 0/10.

What are your thoughts on the fans considering it to be a successor series to Shonen in general?

Just typical millennial bandwagoning of hyping up the most recent mainstream anime as some saving grace for the medium. It's happened each year since at least 2011 or 2012 and always proven to result in fanboys hyping :trash, the only major exceptions being Hunter X Hunter and JoJo gaining a large following after their recent anime adaptions (and even they weren't the most hyped up anime during the years they were airing).

Which Rocky montage is your favorite?

Mine has got to IV’s. Nothing motivates me more.

[mention]ahill1[/mention] No for all.

[mention]Gin[/mention] If including those of characters who aren't Rocky, then Clubber Lang's at the start of Rocky III because it's the Eye of the Tiger. If just limiting it to Rocky's montages, either his training with Apollo in Rocky III or "Hearts on Fire" in Rocky IV.

What % range do you think Vegeta could've been when he was at <10% against Hit? 6-9%?

Also, why do you think Vegeta can't be far below 10% (Like 1% or 0.0001%) against Hit?

About 8-9% It doesn't make much sense for Whis to use 10% as the benchmark if his power was much closer to something such as say 5%, 1% or even lower when stating such would make for an even more dramatic emphasis on the flaw of SSB.

Kabrooms are gonna Kabroom no matter what you do. :et

Still not as bad as some refusing to admit Kuririn > Tenshithands or Ultimate Gohan > SS3 Galu after official material goes out of it's way to state such, I guess.
