The rage boosts in Super

[Papasmurf]

Does anyone else find people hating on them a little excessive? I mean we're talking a show targeted at a shonen demographic aired on weekend mornings, and other manga in the shonen audience spam rage haxes all the time. I do think they weren't as prevalent in the original series as Gohan received most of them, but with all the other retcons AT has made since reentering the franchise I'm not sure why this one irks people as much as it does.

The hate mainly comes from a rage boost being seen as a cheap way to wiggle out of a dire situation, and illogically hax a character if the occasion demands it.

So far in Super, the rage boosts have a justified stimulus, so they don't really irk me.

Because no-one other than Gohan has got them before, but all of a sudden they can but yeah compared to some of the other problems that is minor.

Other than Future Trunks' (who eventually got a new form for his rage) rage boosts, there haven't been that many in DBS to be honest.

Because, before Super, i had created a nice, neat, logical theory about not even Gohan receiving rage boosts after the one he
got against Raditz. I bothered devoting time to write it down in forums, in the length of a college essay, all my arguments
carefully chosen and showing my superior brain, skill and deep understanding of DBZ (pre new material). Then, the senile AT,
just because he wanted to make more money and was jealous of Salagir's DBM, came back from retirement and destroyed all
my theories. Not cool, Akira!

My Bulma Vegeta and Goku after he learned that I killed his wife and son.

It bothers me that it seems like Toei is willing to give any character a rage boost. If Vegeta gets one because Beerus slapped Bulma, why didn't he get one when Cell killed Trunks? Shit, he should've unloced Super Saiyan 2 for that if a slap is going to push him well beyond all of the other Z tools.

I liked that the rage boost was unique to Gohan before, now it just feels really cheap.

Vegeta's heart wasn't pure at that time IMO.

Proves my point. Not that many.

Vegeta trained on ROSAT before he went to the future where he turn his anger into power.

USA is coming and we shall see.

He was just angry. Nothing suggests he got a temporary spontaneous boost in that instance. Even if we count that, overall, there hasn't been a large number of rage boosts in DBS so far, which is my point.

There hasn't that much fight against the real villains on Super except against Beerus and Black where the asspull power ups comes to play.

Rage boost is something natural, even in real life (something about adrenaline). I don't mind small 1.2x like rage
boosts like SSJ Blue Goku vs the two Zamasus. What bothers me is absurd rage boosts like ''my Bulma'' even no one
but Gohan had ever showed that ability.
