      @@Alecations I don't think so, don't get me wrong I love Vegeta and they did great with him but i feel like Radditz and goku could have a interesting dynamic using the class privilege. Think about it, Radditz having self loathing about how he was born, told over and over that he would never break that barrier. Hed never be anything more than a low class warrior, then he watches as his brother just shatters that belief he held for the majority of his life. Imagine the anger and resentment that Radditz would have over that. Their fight could make a lot more sense than the vegeta vs goku fight in the buu saga (Not saying that didn't make sense but it did feel a little forced in my opinion) Radditz would have this growing resentment for goku, That resentment could be so strong that if given the chance he never had (from bababdi) To break that power barrier and finally become something more than a low class warrior. I think theres a lot of narrative potential with radditz in that regard.

    I like the idea that King Cold would be so damn powerful if he had the chance to transform, but Trunks, being the guy who does not take second chances and not just let his enemy to powerup for 15 minutes to get a "propah scrap" like other done before and after, just murks him before he could do any of that.

      I feel like Yamcha should have survived the Saibaman, but then get murked once they start fighting Nappa, Tien/Krillin/Piccolo actually hold their own until Nappa spikes Krillin and disarms Tien, Chiaotzu's self-destruct should have really hurt Nappa, and Tien's Tribeam should have apparently killed Nappa. Then, Goku arrives and starts gabbing with Vegeta, and while everyone is distracted, Nappa launches a blast at Gohan, with Piccolo sacrificing himself to save Gohan. Then, Goku beats the Hell out of Nappa and then Vegeta finishes him for ruining his wish.
      Same result, but much more respect to the characters.

    I think you were really onto something here!!! Having Raditz instead, barely surviving and turning over a new leaf and instead dying in the battle versus Vegeta instead would feel a bit more poignant, I think! But hindsight is 20/20 and of course I don’t think they expected Vegeta and Goku to carry on such an eternal rivalry at this stage of the story!

  • @Arbron
    @Arbron ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Goku and Piccolo vs Raditz is more interesting than almost any fight in Super.
    Raditz is also the perfect example of an actual saiyan, before this "honor" nonsense Vegeta suddenly developed after Namek. They were brutes. Murderers. They didn't fight hard battles, on the contrary, they sent their *babies* to cleanse planets full of insects. They would intentionally time their attacks on stronger planets with the full moon so they could use their trump card. Even on Namek, Vegeta didn't care about beating Goku 1v1 in an honorable rematch - he was a sneaky, clever, pragmatic fighter.
    The saiyans were never honorable warriors, and they were universally assholes. Goku only became a good person due to amnesia and we all know how much development Vegeta needed before becoming even somewhat a decent a person.

    What bothers me about the Great Ape is that we don't see it again after the Saiyan Saga. It's like Toriama forgot the Saiyans had it. It comes off as the full potential Saiyans have. Heck, we don't even see or hear what happened to Trunks' and Goten's tails!

      It's everything to do with Eastern martial arts storytelling.
      We as Westerners simply don't understand that mindset, and the whole kung fu movie craze that birthed Dragon Ball in the first place got supplanted by shōnen battle anime which kept a lot of the tropes alive in it anyway.
      We'd rather think in terms of pure practicality, just "fight to kill, save the day" and whatnot (DBZ even outright showed this off in action via Trunks, who has that modern sensibility of fighting to accomplish a concrete goal, which means fighting to win as quickly as possible).
      That old-school Warrior/martial artist mentality where fighting is more about proving yourself to yourself and whatnot, that just comes off as so alien to us that we wound up prescribing it to actual aliens to explain why they do what they do, even though the humans of OG DB acted the same way.

    A running theory could be that King Cold was operating behind the scenes and using Frieza to gauge potentially stronger characters/beings. He may have already been familiar with the Super Saiyan legend, existence of Buu and Beerus (if we permit this retcon) and knew of his son's own overconfidence to potentially challenge them despite his initial warnings never to oppose them. As Frieza states that his father was "bloated with self importance", it seems likely that he was preserving his image and originally "retired" on the basis of gauging power levels via his son.
    Just like the elite, they put puppet governments in power just to gauge the sustainability of their system. King Cold, being highly intelligent and pragmatic, could very much have done the same in order to retain his power over the cosmos.

      King Cold using Frieza to scout stronger opponents and expand would also help in bringing in Cooler. Cooler could've been the son used to scout for various techniques in their empire while also training elite squads. Frieza to expand, Cooler to maintain, and both would kill each other before taking up against Cold. Cooler also should've been the one to bring Frieza back, knowing that Cold would've tried to bring Frieza and for Cold to regain control. Would've also kept the DBS Broly joke running that Cold is in his 2nd form to start take than everyone and Colds final form is actually shorter than Cooler. Should've also kept Frieza turning God Gold which is stronger in energy and let Cooler keep his 'Primal' form that is superior in combat.

Buu to me isn't just cool because he's stronger than everyone around him, it's because hes so unorthodox and genuinely terrifying that it'd realistically be pretty hard to figure out what insane body horror thing he's going to do next!

    So, a point in favor to Goku that the Spirit Bomb may have worked if Vegeta didn't go Ozaru, the spirit bomb Goku gave Krillin in the actual timeline was weakened since Goku lost some of the energy he gathered when Ozaru Vegeta blasted him. We don't know how much energy was lost there, but it definitely would have done more serious damage in the what-if if it hit, the problem there, is if Vegeta had enough energy after to make an artificial moon or not, cause then there would be a new, more serious problem possibly.

    King Cold was in his final form. Frieza was always saying that he was the most powerful in the universe, if his father was even stronger he would've mentioned that.
    Also in that text it says that he *looks like* 2nd form Frieza, it doesn't say he's at his second transformation. It also says that he can transform to increase his power, but it can be true if we consider him to be in his last transformation.
    Another point is that future Goku defeated him, and we know how Goku is, he would've asked him to transform because he might've found him too weak to be a challenge

      Maybe Goku didn't wanna take the chance, after all, the only reason he did what he did with Frieza was because he wanted o humiliate him.
      Also, it wouldn't make sense for that to be King Gold's Final Form, we've literally seen the true forms of multiple characters (Frieza, Frost, Cooler, etc.) They are lizard-like, so King Cold of all people being like that is just inconsistent.

      As for the second point, Cooler isn't canon and Frost is Frieza from a mirror universe, so it makes sense he has his same forms. And I repeat again, if you listen to what Cold and Frieza say, it's clearly shown that Frieza became emperor because he's stronger than his father, everybody agreed that he was the strongest in the universe.
      Another point: when Cold was bargaining for his life, he didn't even try to transform. 2nd form Cell bargained with Vegeta offering him a better fight if he let him achieve his perfect form, Super Buu tricked Gohan and the others so he could absorb Gotenks and transform. It makes no sense for Cold to not even attempt or say anything about transforming.

Not to mention if you bring Super into it then Frieza was aware of the likes of Buu and Beerus yet still throned himself as strongest in the universe. So you can’t really make a gauge on Cold’s power with that.

      You’re right. King Cold was in his final form. Frieza is just a mutant like Broly, and his forms actually reduce his power. Also that King Cold “being able to transform” might not have been true or was changed later on.

    Goku when he reaches super sayian 1 is probably twice as strong as freiza in his strongest form. Trunks shows up and mops up robo freiza and king cold like nothing but somehow a couple of robots that a human built are stronger than all of them? There's like 40 more villains after that.

    I’d like a return of Raditz, but where he’s peaceful and passive. Vegeta spent his time under the thumb of Frieza despite being a prince of a whole race, so his arc makes sense as is.
    But it would be cool to see Raditz react in a completely different way, and to start enjoying his freedom no longer under the rule of Frieza OR Vegeta. He’d make a great companion for Launch, too. His Saiyan past would make him relate to Blonde launch while his desire to enjoy peace and relaxation would make him get on with blue Launch.

    19:00, I mostly agree here, but goku was making a Spirit Bomb for Great Ape Vegeta, so in a situation where he was making one for post Kamehameha Vegeta, he'd likely only need 3 seconds to form a bomb powerful enough to beat Vegeta, as he needed 10 seconds for the one to beat Great Ape Vegeta. So in this situation, Goku could likely Solar Flare Vegeta, make the bomb and throw it before Vegeta recovered, because he is still that much weaker than Great Ape Vegeta.

    Stating Kid Buu is the strongest Buu in the anime still means nothing even within the anime, since the anime constantly contradicts itself, including its own filler. According to its filler, as soon as Goku died he was way stronger than Perfect Cell in base form. Later in the Buu saga, it implies Yamcha is way stronger than Perfect Cell and probably one of the strongest Z Fighters barring someone like Goku and Vegeta. Filler had King Vegeta destroy a whole planetary system with 0% of his power by just flicking his wrist and sustained no damage, while Frieza who was way stronger than him used his strongest attack just to destroy one planet and even that took time. Official Toei books say that several of the early movie Villains had "infinite power" and some of the said that they were defeated by "Goku's bottomless power", so basically they said Goku was more infinite than infinity. The writers at Toei don't know what they're talking about.

They lost the war even before it started the moment they killed Piccolo.

    One thing I'd like to point out is that I don't think the Saiyajins would as strong as they were during the Bardock Special when Freeza first arrived on Planet Vegeta. They wouldn't have been roaming the galaxy fighting all sorts of aliens, getting stronger, and learning techniques. They'd be bare minimum. So I think the whole Planet would have been even weaker than our Scholar here speculated during the Freeza vs Saiyajin race battle (had he decided to kill them right away on discovery). Freeza created his own problem by allowing them to battle off planet to get stronger, but really even then it wasn't an issue for him. A pointless point, I know, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

    We need to discuss the ramifications of Dr Gero's inventions. They go WAY beyond simply making technology stronger than Frieza.
    Not only is he a brilliant engineer and doctor of robotics far ahead of Eggman, but he also seems to be a biochemist. He builds Cell from nothing with no basis besides saiyan DNA, so he must have synthesized everything else (brain matter, tendons, muscle tissue, etc) himself. Not to mention modifying 17 and 18 at the cellular level.
    Also assuming Android 16 is using advanced artificial intelligence capable of learning and developing empathy, he's also a genius in the field of computer science and AI specifically.
    ALSO also, his development of 17 and 18's infinite energy generators means he's solved the mystery of the perpetual motion machine, so he's a physicist as well.
    ALSO ALSO also, he's a surgeon. He arranges for a computer he programmed himself to perform his own brain transplant into a mechanical body. How many disciplines has this guy mastered?
    Toriyama never put much thought into anything he wrote in DB, but I wonder if he realizes that Dr Gero is possibly the biggest monster he ever created.
