*Bay12 *Dwarf Fortress
While it's Saiyan in English, it's Saiyajin in Japan. Probably kept it abbreviated using the Japanese spelling, as someone on a censorship board was worried about it being linked to the German SS.
A censorship board? Does Bay12 have such a board?
Comic books superman: Superman sneezes and all the planets in the solar system that Goku is in disintegrate. Goku dies and takes the opportunity to catch up with the North Kaio, meets up with Piccolo and Bulma, summons the dragon and wishes all the planets back. Annoyed by this, Superman goes back in time and reverts the change. Unable to make the same wish a second time, but not very inconvenienced by being dead, Goku tracks down Superman and challenges him to a fair fight. Superman decides that Goku is so weak that for the fight to be fair, he can't fight Goku himself. So he conjures up a Super midget from his hand to fight on his behalf. That fight takes 15 episodes, but Superman gets bored watching and uses his Super Kiss ability to make Bulma fall in lust with him to prevent the Z-team from locating the dragonballs again. Bulma falls for Superman hard, and chases him to the end of the galaxy. At least until he gets annoyed and uses his Super Mind Control to make her go away. Meanwhile, Goku has finally defeatedthe Super midget, Krillan tosses him a senzu bean, leaving him replenished but his shirt is still torn. After tracking down Superman yet again. Superman conjures up another Super Midget but Goku, 3 times as strong as he was during the first encounter,is now able to effortlessly beat it. Superman, annoyed by this, Superman uses his Super Fast Thinking to realize that this will keep going on forever if he doesn't put a stop to it. So he uses his Super Domestic Skills power to cook up some delicious ramen, feeds it to Goku who then forgives him for destroying the solar system and killing billions of people and then promptly forgets about the whole thing. Not content with this, the writer for Superman makes up a Super Make Goku Lose ability, and therefore Goku loses.
+1. 10/10. One thing I'll argue with is that at the point where Superman uses his Super Kiss, Vegeta will appear, surpass EVERYONE EVER using just SS1/2, and beat the ever-loving crap out of Superman.
The Garlic Gun and Death Ball cannot "Burst" the planet through power. They use other methods to destroy planets.
The Gallick Gun would've straight-up blown up the planet. His
Death Ball certainly used another method but his
Supernova - the attack he used to destroy Vegeta in his first form - just straight-up blows up planets. The Bardock Special and Episode of Bardock show it happening, I think.
(In a nutshell, this means that "Goku is vulnerable ONLY to what the writers feel like saddling him with that episode, which they will magically fix in the next story arc." This makes any and all rational evaluations of Goku's strengths/weaknesses a futile exercise-- and by extension, any kind of VS computation a farce. Goku has an umlimited number of McGuffins he can pull out, and is pretty much Godmode Sue, with only the thinnest of paper limitations imposed on him to make him not be boring.)
Nnnnnnope!
Saiyans: Had to sacrifice himself in order to give Piccolo his chance to kill Raditz. When he fought Vegeta, he would've lost if it weren't for Yajirobe (cut off Vegeta's tail while he was a Great Ape and preventing Goku from making the Spirit Bomb) and Gohan (if it weren't for him turning into a Great Ape and falling on Vegeta Vegeta would've just finished everyone else off).
Frieza: Curb-stomped Frieza but at full power Frieza did manage to get some good hits in.
Androids: Couldn't beat any of them until he went into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, at which point they were already second fiddle to Future Trunks, Vegeta, and Semi-Perfect Cell.
Cell: Managed to put up a very decent fight against him but ultimately would've lost if he hadn't surrendered. Gohan was the one to beat Cell, anyway.
Buu: Wouldn't have been able to beat Super Buu (after eating everyone) even in Super Saiyan 3. In the end he could only beat Kid Buu using a Spirit Bomb gathered with the help of
Hercule of all people. Even then he needed the dragon balls to restore his strength, otherwise he would've lost.
Battle of Gods:
Outright LOST to Beerus despite becoming a god, despite learning some of the forms power, and despite becoming a god AGAIN at the end! The only reason he and the rest of the Earth is alive is because he admitted defeat and Beerus decided to spare them.So yeah, while he does tend to get powers as they are convenient his resources are not unlimited and to date the only major DBZ fight he managed to win on his own was against Frieza.
No, it does not-- but it DOES present a continuity problem with the series itself.
Prior to his "owie, it burns!" moment, he has withstood gamut gun bursts from Vegeta that have vaporized whole mountains. The amount of energy in such a blast makes the amount of thermal energy in the lava pale in comparison. This means that the writers of the series dont understand physics, not that goku can be one-shotted by falling into mount doom.
IIRC it was more of a comedic relief moment. Goku have a lot of those, especially involving guns. And needles. Can't forget about needles.
This.
Stop talking about lava. I don't want to get this thread locked.Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta vs Arc Gurren Lagann
