Kanzenshuu

From the Shenlong Times 2nd Issue , we can at least glean: Torishima: Goku grew up, and then during Kondō-san‘s time, Vegeta appeared and the number of female fans increased. (laughs) Kondō: It’s because before I came to Jump, I worked at a shōjo manga magazine. (laughs) After I became editor, we de...

1. Chi Chi had a long ass year long pregnancy

Maybe this is the source of Gohan's incredible power.

But Shueisha and Toei seem dead set on pretending nothing before Raditz coming to earth matters, and Toriyama seems committed to never drawing the monkey tails again. It wouldn't be too surprising if it was intended to be a proper de-aging spell and we're supposed to ignore characters don't look li...

Fair enough. Definitely could turn out to be the case.

Pretty much this. Based on what we have seen so far, Daima is likely set before Super happening. Not to mention, it's own brand. Mixing it into Super would sound confusing. Well, there's Kibitoshin defusing which didn't happen till sometimes after ROF so kinda can't be pre-Super IF we go by how it ...

Goku is about to embark on an 11 month sparring match with Gohan right in front of the latter's house.

It seems like Toriyama was in a position to change just about whatever he wanted about Battle of Gods while it was in production. It's true that we don't know if Beerus' line at the end of the film about there being a multiverse was a Toriyama addition or a Watanabe beat that Toriyama simply didn't ...

Putting aside the question of "could they subsequently survive in the vacuum of space"...

Freeza was able to survive Namek's destruction. #17 and #18 were stronger than Freeza in the Namek arc. Ergo, #17 and #18 should be able to survive Earth's destruction, right?

I feel like the Goku vs. Beerus rematch was rendered moot by the former surpassing him vicariously through Geran during the Tournament of Power.

Then again, it's unclear if that beat has been noticed by the films and manga.

Black Freeza will come to Earth to recruit Carmine, who will help him build a de-aging machine.

I'm with this. I'm not against diversity but Dragon Ball has historically handled it in such a bigoted way that I dread it happening with any future characters. Well, for what little it might be worth, in the Super Hero movie we seem to have gotten a non-racist-caricature black character in the for...

Orange Piccolo and Beast Gohan have funny designs, and the hatred people have for them only make them funnier.

They were practicing on Earth at the beginning of Broly.

As I said earlier: the only DC Universe character that I'm aware of who utilizes Qigong/Ki control to supernatural/superpowered degrees is the "Chinese Superman" Kong Kenan: and he acquired those abilities not through training or diligence, but simply because he was given some of Superman...

Also, I cannot imagine for the love of my life seeing Child Goku, who I consider to be a much smarter character, doing this in his confrontation with Piccolo, Tao Pai Pai, or any of the other many innocent-life-threatening foes, really. "Oh, okay. I'm satisfied, because your spirit is broken o...

Muten Roshi could destroy the moon. Piccolo is MAGNITUDES stronger than him. Further, as Piccolo flies away, Goku watches and thinks to himself "Train hard, Piccolo! Get as strong as you can..." Goku let people go for a VERY specific reason - to fight them again. It's really just Freeza t...

This wasn't much of a problem with Piccolo, who could destroy continents (?), but that would make him known and give the heroes a chance to fight back. My problem with Vegeta, and every other villain that comes after Piccolo, is that If they ever came back one day, hid their Ki, and blew up the pla...

Dunno about DC, but Marvel has Iron Fist, which is basically wuxia film-style chi distilled into an American comic book. Yeah I knew about Iron Fist, which made me wonder if DC had an equivalent. And it apparently has multiple! Also worth noting that a lot of DC characters who are very martial arts...

In DC, there is Karate Kid, a human from the future who has mastered every conceivable martial art(including alien ones) and was able to actually physically tangle with Superboy in sparring matches. I do believe that this is the concept of Chi/Ki in DC's universe, allowing even an ordinary human to...

This actually has me thinking. I'm not well versed in deeper metaphysical and cosmic fabric of the DC universe. Is there anything resembling "qi/chi/ki" in the sense that East Asian mythology shows martial artists as being able to tap into and weaponize for superhuman feats? Are there any ...
