  17. one small issue with the video is that piccolo and the rest didnt just spend 6 days on king kai's planet by the time of the freeza fight—they'd had 6 months in the Other World, and considering each of them was double to triple the power of Goku when he had to go to King Kai's planet, the travel time would've been drastically shorter

    piccolo hqd a similar amount of time on king kai's planet to train and was training with warriors around his strength instead of on his own, so his jump in power from post-saiyans to pre-fusion isnt really too unexpected (especially when you consider that goku got a 20x boost with his time on King Kai's world, which roughly matches with what we know of Piccolo's power)

  23. 42:32 "I've played Xenoverse and I know this attack literally NEVER WORKS!"

    Hohohoo~, you haven't played enough Xenoverse then, because all of those blasts very uniquely track perfectly when you combo into the move! It's like the only attack that behaves this way.
    Gohan's the Xenoverse master here, he knows that got him an easy and efficient 40-hit combo. It always works

  25. I loved this video! One thing ive been wondering for a while is what other path people wanted the series to go? Im very easily pleased, and often enjoy things others dont. But if they wanted DB to stay a titan…what other scaling could they have used besides different forms to keep the story progressing and stay intriguing for all that time. As this video showed, pre ssj buffs werent received as well, and they couldnt have people take months between battles to train everytime so the mc is always justttt strong enough. I didnt get into DBZ until i was like 16, but even as a 23 year old, i still get super hyped when a new form comes out. I dont know how much further they can go from UI, but if we didn't have these forms, would you rather goku be the only SS? That theres only the one golden boy that continuesly pulls the same form out when situations get rough? Or that the late amd great one shouldve just stopped the franchises after your favorite arc?

  28. I always felt the problem with power levels could of been fixed simply by making Frieza's number, while the highest, make sense in comparison to what has come before. I think if you made Frieza first form around 100k and his final form around 1 million that would still be very high for a final boss, while still being something that the hero's could still overcome through working together or through the super saiyan times boost. This way you don't have everyone jumping power in large numbers, but with a combined power they still stand a reasonable chance.

  31. Ginyu can't use Goku's full power because Ginyu never underwent the training with Kami to learn full Ki control. This is also why they can't sense power levels and have to use scouters.

  34. Bro, you gotta make more video essays like this! Hopefully this one pops off a lot more, but this style/formula is entertaining AF.

    7 months of editing and writing paid off, I hope you grow large enough that you can hire someone to help

  35. Jeice: Technically the captain has a higher power level. So that would make him faster than you.

    Burter: Well yeah, but.

    Jeice: And Lord Freeza is stronger than him. So that would make him faster.

    Burter: Ah, that's just not fair!

    Jeice: And Guldo can stop time so…

    Burter: NO! NO! I am not slower than FUCKING Guldo!
