James Teal Animerica wrote: When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts.

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them. Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude—a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight.

There's no discussion to be had here. Herms wrote: The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu because Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger.

So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Post by HG-Project » Sun Mar 29, am Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there some sort of a defined hierearchy among "god" figures? Though Whis is stronger than Beerus, he still yields to him for the most part and addresses him in honorifics.

For me, these signify that positions and titles play a huge role in a db "God's" legitimacy and authority. It's easy to infer that power has a big role as well, but I can't help but notice that there might be certain rules and customs on a lower ranking god interacting with a higher ranking one. Maybe Piccolo was sort of following the proper, expected protocol while being pretty taken aback after the unexpected encounter with the East Supreme Kai on Earth.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter! Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them well, people who care about them in a narrative don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions.

If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested. If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone.

It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Joined Jun 3, Messages 3, Kaioshin has God Chi. For those that can't sense it clearly, it's described as intense pressure or something along those lines.

Vegeta couldn't assess Kaioshin's Chi, Goku assumed Kaioshin and Kibito were going to be tough based on the feeling he had, and Piccolo was able to detect his Godly nature. When Goku was looking for Gohan after leaving Enma's, he immediately caught his Chi. He was actually surprised that Kaioshin and Kibito were even there. Everything pretty much points to them not being able to be sensed sans Kibito sensing Kaioshin's Chi when Piccolo was convinced he was gone.

Joined Sep 4, Messages 12, Evil Vegeta said:. And the response says he's as much of a God as Beerus and Kaioshin. His Godly status became clear once he could no longer be sensed. That's why Whis made the statement to begin with.

Goku didn't make a judgment on Kaioshin's Chi. All of his statements were based on intuition. Vegeta could feel pressure coming from Whis despite being unable to gauge his power. Trunks could feel the pressure from Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta's power despite being unable to gauge. Same with Kaioshin.

Everything said about Kaioshin was based on intuition. I don't see why you need to be powered-up to actually be sensed, either. Goku could tell Piccolo had became much stronger despite lounging around on Kami's Lookout. Stop joking around!

Anyway, though Piccolo is pretty much flat-out saying Kaioshin is way stronger than him here, you could still argue that he's either mistaken or lying I guess. Theres an anime scene where piccolo checks himself when he gets in KK face regarding the training so id say he backs down more out of respect than power. Doesnt mean shin isnt more powerful though.

Theyre probably in the same tier. User Info: Prismsblade. Complete PIS, nothing the Kaioshin ever did leaves us to believe he was much stronger then piccolo at all. User Info: ShyOx. Hanon posted
