      He's really good. I loved Geekdom and Masako like five years ago. I used to watch Qaaman and Blackenfist as well as Zeon before that. It seems these channels have a shelf life before another comes along. Geekdom is good but has done so much content he's basically remaking old videos at this point. Masako fell off a what if cliff, and the others have kinda stalled out. Carthu and KJM productions are my top right now. Codenamesuper is great but his videos have been slipping lately and the 5000 copycat channels have diluted what makes him great

    To me I always just thought that like Cell, Vegeta, Gohan, and Goku, the reason why they keep delaying the battles instead of ending them if they have the power to do so is due to their inherent genes as saiyans. Warriors who are usually prideful in showing off their strength to their opponents for the sake of their love for fighting.
    Which is ultimately their downfall as it leaves opportunity for others to exploit. It happened when Cell convinced SSJG2 Vegeta to allow him to absorb 18 to provide a new challenge and test his strength. It happened when SSJ2 Teen Gohan took his time making Cell suffer instead of ending it quickly. It happened when Goku gave Cell a senzu bean under the mistaken belief that his son enjoys fighting just like him. It happened with Cell when he hosted the tournament instead of killing everyone right now before giving them 10-days to train (because of those same Saiyan genes he’s inherited when he was created). It happened with Cell when he allowed Vegeta to charge up his Final Flash. It happened when they didn’t kill Dr. Gero before he built the androids.
    It’s not unique for saiyans to be prideful to the point where they delay fights instead of ending them if they can, but it sure is common if not also a cultural thing in their race. Future Trunks is the exception to this rule because he’s seen what happens when you don’t have the power to stop horrific forces from happening if they are stronger than you. Which is why if he knows he has the strength to end it he will with no exceptions. Krillin was also an exception but made a different mistake not out of pride but because he was a simp.

    I love you genuine friend genuinely understand racquetball and genuinely understand character flaws and strengths within said characters.
    I just wanted to make this point, Goku is a pure hearted fighter. He was not wrong in giving Cell a Senzu bean. Call Cooper’s wrong in the assessment of his son, but he was not wrong to hide the truth from your son and everybody else.
    A test come from not know he was going to take place, but just going through it and doing your best. This is the test of life. Imagine of Goku told Gohan ahead of time and then he began to be experience fear. We see earlier in this park that go hard police himself to be inferior, and has doubts in fears. Goku may not have known his son as well as pickle love you. But he still understood his son to a degree.
    The reason why it is foolish for anything to ever try again are you that broke who is mom, is because everything Goku’s said came to pass all his predictions. Goku in totality is right. Because Gohan won. That’s the point.
    Goku was the only character, the only Z fighter, who had absolute faith trust and believe in his own son. Piccolo had no faith, none. Goku had 100% faith. This will be identical to imagining whoever your father is the person reading this comment right now and it was something you really wanted to do and your father gave you all the trust all the believe all the hope all the praise and all of his love into you to succeed with whatever it is you wanted to do. Just imagine that one month. That’s Goku in this moment where is Goku throughout this art. He realizes his home so I was Peter potential I could cc on nothing outside before this moment for this part. That is why no fans have ever in the right or left brain say that Goku was wrong, because Goku proved was proven specifically to be right.

      The only thing I hate when people talk about the cell saga is that Vegeta was out of character because it’s not true. He has been letting opponents power up to his fullest since the sayain saga when he let Goku use kaioken or when he let Zarbon and Frieza transform. If anything, he became more arrogant when he became super sayain. Besides that, the plot twist is probably the main reason why the Cell saga is my favorite arc in dbz.

      I personally have it in my top 3, as the third, Behind Freeza saga and Sayian saga, but I certainly don't believe it's completely wrong for Cell saga to sit outside the top 3, another reasonable contender for the 3rd spot is the demon king Piccolo arc, the 23rd tenkaichi budokai is also a reasonable option.
      Additionally, there's also the possibility of someone in general preferring the light hearted, whimsical and comedic nature of the less-serious, early classic dragon ball arcs. Having emperor pilaf arc, red ribbon arc, or the 22nd and 23rd tenkaichi arc all in the top 3 just means they have a different taste.
      Although while potentially egregious, Buu saga could also be held as a valid option. Personally, I think with the Buu saga, it did the most things right, but simultaneously the most things wrong which negated it's positives... making the introductory slice of life, great sayiaman arc my favourite arc in the Buu saga. Overall making Buu outside top 3 for me.
      But that's just my opinion.

    The saiyan and namek saga had everything, power levels still somewhat made sense and a super saiyan genuinely was legendary, those sagas had everything. The characters, the different villains and all the lore. The cell saga had everyone become a super powerful only for none of it to matter literally a couple of episodes later, same with piccolo's new power. It dragged on and on, even if you watch Kai it still feels like an eternity. They literally made an entire arc only for the last couple of episodes to matter so Gohan's new form can be introduced. In the saiyan saga everyone mattered, Piccolo having to kill Goku and even Gohan played his part. At that point Krillin and Yajirobi were still of use to some degree.
    There were 0 shock moments in the cell saga, like a battle was either completely one sided or a complete slaughter, compare that to the z warriors facing off against Frieza's different forms. Gohan, Piccolo and even Krillin had some moments during that time. Hell even Vegeta had a bit of a shot at Frieza's base form. Even in the saiyan saga when everyone is getting beat up Krillin would have cut Nappa in half if Vegeta didn't warn him about the move. The cell saga is basically plot twist after plot twist to the point where nothing is a twist, it's like Toriyama got bored of his own story. We got some cool stuff like the androids and Gohan but the saga as a whole was boring, especially after Trunks made that epic entrance and beats Frieza and his dad. From there you have a new most powerful warrior like every other episode and none of it ends up mattering.
    EDIT: Forgot to add Vegeta also faced Zarbon, that's a classic 2 battle showdown, and the ginyu force, especially captain Ginyu, he had a unique power, there were all these cool mini villains in between. The cell saga doesn't come close and the buu saga even less so. If any fans of the series haven't watched the OG 1986 dragonball go watch that and then you'll see why the saiyan and namek saga is where the series peaks completely and then plateaus by the cell saga. It's a wild ride and will give you some perspective on why the cell and buu saga are so boring overall despite introducing some cool new characters and transformations.

    13:45 didn't Goku basically explain that going in a second time wouldn't do anything for them, basically pointing out the time chamber loses it's effectiveness the more you use it. I mean feel like it makes sense as even the difference in leaps in power Vegeta and Trunks make in comparison. To the second time Vegeta went in it didn't do much, the leap in power wasn't as great. Which is what I think Goku was referring too.

      "didn't Goku basically explain that going in a second time wouldn't do anything for them, basically pointing out the time chamber loses it's effectiveness the more you use it."
      Vaguely Goku basically says them Torturing there bodies won't help them Grow but this is a pretty weak argument from Goku as Saiyan's Specifically grow from doing exactly that.
      "I mean feel like it makes sense as even the difference in leaps in power Vegeta and Trunks make in comparison. To the second time Vegeta went in it didn't do much, the leap in power wasn't as great. Which is what I think Goku was referring too."
      Well it wasn't small either when Pre Second Trip Vegeta was floored at Goku's 50% power when he exits his second trip he is confident he can beat that Goku.

    • @death8156
      @death8156 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@SRVaris See for the first one though, I was saw as Goku not necessarily pointing out that physically it’s useless. More so in the sense that if you don’t have the right idea of how to ascend, then it’s pointless torture.
      Take Vegeta’s second trip in for an example, despite being smart enough to understand Goku and Gohan’s training. Using super saiyan as their base form, so they can reduce stamina drain and power up even further. Even though he’s basically explaining to trunks how ingenious it is, when he goes back in he doesn’t follow that already proven strategy for power. Be it Vegeta’s pride that probably explains that, Goku’s point still stands. Vegeta went in tortured his body for results, all while forgoing the strategy he recognized as effective.
      Second one I agree with you, but kinda don’t want to because then it kind of ruins the special of strategic training. If Goku and Gohan went and basically came out with a form that faaaar surpassed what Vegeta and Trunks got, by Goku being Goku and figuring out the best way to ascend. The super saiyan training, and Vegeta closes that gap by doing nothing different. Then what was the point of that, I feel like it loses its impact. If Vegeta just says yeah fuck that and goes in same style of training. And surpasses that Goku, especially since the narrative didn’t point out anything special about his training. What was the point of giving us so much awwwwe pertaining to the method, both Goku and Gohan used to ascend.

  • @Techinvestor87
    @Techinvestor87 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I agree with the time chamber take. Any one who does combat sports says that they take time to rest up enough before a big fight. They drive themselves into the ground and then after the way in need to rehydrate, rest and get nutrients back in the body. Also with weight lifting if you do not rest between workouts muscle will not grow efficiently. Some will grow, b ut you will ruin the gains you could have maximized on.

Goku choosing to stay dead, because of all the things from his past putting lives in harm's way. One of the biggest themes of this arc is one's mistakes, or even just your past in a broad sense, coming back to bite you. Goku's realization of this is what the arc is building toward. And god damn, does (almost) every single one of these mistakes come back to bite the person that made them. Keep it goin Sage, I love these videos man

And considering he had seen the androids pull a goku by sparing them despite everyone else wanting them dead and them disregarding killing goku once cell showed up I can somewhat understand him not wanting to just kill her or thinking that the dragon balls couldn’t wish back an android but at the end of the day he still sold by breaking the remote instead of saving it or maybe even trying to use it on cell since he had 17 inside him 🤷

    9:05 The line he references has more to do with the dumb decisions these characters make but when he brought up TFS at this point in the story, the line I thought of was the response whenever someone (usually 16) tells the twins they're making a bad choice. "Maybe, but it's mine to make". DBZA 17 and 18 know they to some extent aren't making optimal choices but they're satisfied with being able to make that choice after all this time. Now this doesn't remove their collective stupidity to not get out of there at any point before absorbtion (and the fact this line isn't in the OG text). I just really like the line.

    Krillin worse in my opinion. due to knowing vegeta I sadly expect him to pull some crap like that (dedoria, frieza, android 18, etc) seen him do things that got him caught up because he was cocky. Krillin however bro this feels like a weird decision out of him when we seen him make smart plays in the past. Especially the reason you did it was for sum robot cush, same person who was designed to Kill your best friend. Crazy work to me. Also he had an easier job than vegeta, button vs fighting someone (even though vegeta was washing cell)

  • @CoolstarYT6

    Hot take: Cell Saga is the best arc in Dbz. I’m gonna be honest for most of Namek it was just aight. The Ginyu Force was wasted because they were threats for 2 seconds ( Guldo doesn’t need inclusion) until they weren’t. Frieza for a good while absolutely CARRIED tf out of it. Super Saiyan was the greatest moment in anime history ( also carried the arc ) and Vegetas death. Outside of these few things there’s nothing else that special about Namek that makes it greater than Cell Saga.

    • @espurrseyes42
      @espurrseyes42 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Guldo had hax and would've killed Gohan and Krillin if Vegeta didn't jump in.
      Recoome pulled a Nappa and solo'd the cast until Goku showed up.
      Ginyu body snatched Goku and left him in his damaged old body, where he could've killed him if he wanted. He then got a whole second boss fight where Goku got injured some more and Vegeta almost got snatched were it not for Goku coming in clutch with that frog throw. And that fight out Goku out of commission, which thankfully let Goku obtain Zenkai so he could fight Frieza.
      The Ginyu Force was most definitely not a "threat for 2 seconds".

    Honestly the only reason why I give Vegeta more shit than Krillin is the fact that he makes an *active effort* to let Cell reach perfection while ignoring everything else.
    And if I'm not mistaken, everyone trained, Vegeta included, if he wanted a challenge then why train so hard just to let him power up beyond what you thought he was capable of? At that point its worse than Krillin not killing off 18 because there's at least some moral implications no matter how flimsy, Vegeta went full dickhead and made sure Cell got what he wanted, even taking Trunks out of the equation just for a moment of stroking his ego.

  • @Graymanlegend0
    @Graymanlegend0 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I kinda sympathize with Krillin’s mistake. If 18 blew up then there’s no reviving her. No dragon balls at the moment and even once Dende became Kami no one is gonna let Krillin bring her back.

  • @billywilliams8378
    @billywilliams8378 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Cell saga was never very good but many of the reasons stated aren’t the reasons it’s bad. Say Trunks (or Bulma for that matter) gives Goku the cure and explains the android threat. They go and stop the Androids. In that timeline crisis averted. In Future Trunks’ timeline everything the same so that’s not helpful.
    Of all the villains in DB not only was Cell the most generic he was the most cowardly. Vegeta v androids bluffs and then needs a senzu Cell bluffs and gets a senzu. Vegeta wants a challenge and helps Cell get stronger Cell wants a challenge and helps Gohan get stronger. It’s amazing Toriyama made a cohesive story but the villain is weak and it makes sense given he was made on the fly.
    But let’s not forget Gohan Turing SSJ I mean SSJ2 the same way his dad did but without the emotional impact of someone he cared about. Nope an android he met 10 minutes who wanted to end his father was the one that hit him there. Not his friends and family getting the mess beat out of them. Now he’s a pacifist. He never brought this up in those three years of training or in the RoSaT but here we are.

    Fr the whole why didnt Trunks mastered super saiyan. Is almost like people forget the abyss of experience Goku and Vegeta have on literally everyone else that hasnt been alive for milennia. Or counting that whatever the saiyans believed about potential was obviously wrong and you probably should call Goku a late bloomer and not a freaking low class warrior because that mf is a genius that man is constantly lapping geniuses, beings millions of years old, demons, gods, aliens, robots, spirits name it. Saiyans are op but best believe Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Broly are such big outlayers that you should call them mutants fck that

      They're both bad dads in Super. At least Goku can say he died saving his son's life twice and motivated him to do great things when he really needed that confidence boost. The only time Vegeta does something like that for Trunks is AFTER he's screwed up or something really bad happens to him.

      Also not sure why you think Vegeta was a bad dad in super. Can't remeber specifically what it was, but I remember Vegeta refusing Goku's request because he had to be present when Bulla was born. He actually recognised the importance of his presence in those moments, unlike Goku who would still leave for months or years at a team, abandoning Chichi and Goten.

      That's one moment.

That's one good thing he's done for his kids as a father.
