    The fight is actually fun, it reminds me a lot of the earlier tournament fights in how silly it is and how Gotenks is pulling out all these strange unique moves. My only real issue with it is that it doesn't gel with Buu having just killed gotenks mom and everyone else in the world. He also should have gotten serious once he went ss3 and buu had killed all his other friends, but he's still fricking around. His fight is more entertaining than Gohans though

      I think GT had more good ideas than it gets credit for, but it made huge mistakes.
      Turning Goku into a kid was just a bad idea. Trunks should have been the protagonist going on an adventure with Pan, maybe Bulla and Uub too. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo, and all of them could have been far away from the action and only showing up for certain episodes the way Bulma, Roshi, and Oolong got sidelined in Z.
      The series also shouldn't have been completely episodic or saga focused, it should have tried to find a compromise between them. Adventures are fun. The feeling of wasting time in a series known for sagas doesn't work too well.
      No one wants to revisit GT but it could have survived if it had better people on it.

      i'm gonna go out on what's probably a very America-centric limb and say that i couldn't rank Dragon Ball against anything that came after it. DBZ and GT both aired here with rescored soundtracks that created completely different experiences than what Dragon Ball curated. Dragon Ball didn't even feel like a show from the same series aside from the obvious stuff like the characters, and plot elements like the Dragon Balls. the tone, soundtrack, and battle composition were completely different. i respect Dragon Ball and understand why it's well liked, it's just not for me.

      for a similar reason, my rankings would be-
      DBZ > Grand Tour > Super
      because that's effectively a list of what "feels the most like Dragon Ball Z" to me, in descending order. and even then i sincerely believe that SDBH makes better use of everything introduced by Super than Super does, particularly the multiverse concept, because characters like Trunks, Zamasu, Goku Black, Hit, Jiren, and the U6 Saiyans actually continue to exist and threaten the heroes beyond their isolated, consequence free little DBS arcs. characters like Kabba and Hearts weren't one and done villains of the week.

    The Buu saga was Toriyama's resignation letter.
    Content to the fact that the pressure wouldn't allow him to quit, he parodied his own work until the editors finally got the hint and let him wrap things up.
    Frieza saga was the end of the passion, Cell saga was the end of the quality.

        Majin Buu saga was the scribblings of an artist on his last legs of patience, phoning it up before he threw in the towel. The art itself began to degrade due to Toriyama starting to even neglect that much. Liking the Buu saga is fine, but it did not have any leg up over Cell saga. It was clear by Toriyama's own words that he was out of steam by then and it showed with how disjointed everything was. All those Buu forms burnt him out so hard, he gave up illustrating battle manga forever

      That was bullshit. It was bad enough when he fought Beerus. We didn't even get to see SSJ3 Gotenks. He had some funny dialogue with Beerus that went back and forth, but we didn't see any new Gotenks moves. That would have been awesome to see him pull some new creative shit on the destruction god, but no. Gotenks got fricking spanked and wrist slapped

      New Super Hero? Any new moves? No, he's in his fat gag form and didn't do shit. Shafted again, plus in Daima, he won't even get to appear at all because Goten and Trunks are babies again

      I thought Toriyama really liked Gotenks? Why's he keep fricking him over?

          >they give him an excuse to do silly wacky gag manga shit in the middle of all the obligatory shonen action.

          Yeah, that's exactly why he likes Gotenks. Toriyama said the Gotenks fight against Buu was one of his favorites in the whole manga. By that point in the Majin Buu saga, Toriyama was pretty much begging for death. He did not want to draw or write Dragon Ball anymore. Toriyama was content drawing slice of life Gohan until he was forced to return to drawing tournament fighting by his editors

          To keep himself sane, Toriyama went bonkers with the gag fighting with Gotenks vs Majin Buu in the Chamber of Spirit and Time. He was able to draw them doing absolute nonsense in a closed off area, completely away from everyone else. He even had Piccolo Jr, one of his other favorite characters who he didn't really get a chance to ever do anything with anymore, go inside the chamber with Gotenks too, to observe all the antics going on, playing volleyball with Gotenks and other ridiculousness

          Once the Gotenks fight was over in Majin Buu saga, the man was honestly done. He was mentally spent and blew his last load with all those Gotenks panels. By that point, the reader might as well just put the manga down because there's nothing left of worth to read

              Kid Buu segment was all over the place. What part of it really stood out to you? The fights? I didn't think they were all that great. It got split between Kid decimating Bejita, pulverizing Fat Buu, then SSJ3 Goku just trying to survive and then running out of steam. The anime had to pad it out with an extended Goku fight. Kid was definitely my favorite Buu form though

                Anonymous

                I like that it at least utilized all of the characters to take down buu, and for me it feels like a throwback to the earlier fights of the series where it was more about gradually wearing down a villian rather than just pulling out new transformations. Goku ultimately burns himself out with ss3 which reminds me alot of how kaioken would often be used. Then vegeta gets to be useful by putting forth the plan to wish back earth and get goku to do the spirit bomb. Even Mr satan gets involved because the earthlings don't want to give energy until he comes in to tell them he's fighting buu. And Vegeta and Fat buu are pretty much just doing their best to hold off kid buu while all of this is going on.

                You are probably right that the actual fighting is nothing too special but I appreciate that all the characters unique personalities and skills were used well. My favorite fight in the series is the saiyan saga vegeta fight so I think I just like these group sort of encounters better.

      Kai was the first of many blows that broke my frickin' spirit. recasting iconic voice roles like Teen Gohan/Kid Goku was ass, the retouched footage looks worse than the original by miles, just a complete waste of time and money. i wouldn't trust modern Toei/Shueisha to remake DBZ properly, they can't animate for shit anymore. last thing they did that was spectacular was the Super Broly movie - and it probably had the budget of 3 Seasons of Attack on Titan to burn on an hour-fourty-five of animation. Dragon Ball Babies looks well animated and is a better rendition of Toriyama's art style than Super was, but who fricking cares. at least Superku's childish ass mental won't feel as alien in a kid sized body.

                I don't think Daima is going to bring much to the table, honestly. It looks more like Toei just letting Toriyama do something he'd like to do for a change, which likely will not involve much battle. It'll be more akin to early Dragon Ball, with a lot of gags, eating, more gags, more eating and that's about it. Now that isn't to say that's not entertaining. It is, but what Toriyama likes and what the fanbase he built up likes, changed quite some time ago, even during the manga's run. Fighting with increasing stakes is what the fanbase likes to see and that's just not what Toriyama wants to provide anymore

                Toei seems more willing to produce Dragon Ball content readily now, so doubtful Daima will be the last thing we'll see for a long time. A little rest from all the battle might be a good thing, if only just so they have enough time to think up some engaging battles after the Tournament of Power

                At least it's a seasonal thing, hopefully the going forward it's more of a seasonal thing instead of weekly

    Cell was a lazy copypasta villain. Buu was a clever deconstruction of Goku's childlike love of fighting and the violent tendencies of the Saiyan race. Except a 350 hour video essay exploring this in detail.

    >10 episodes of fusion shenanigans later we finally get Gotenks

    >He now has to face Super Buu who is even more powerful than fat Buu

    >Gotenks becomes irrelevant after that
    His whole introduction and what he would end up accomplishing (which was nothing) served literally no purpose. Just a waste of time for everyone. A moronic gag character who from start to finish never did anything cool or to justify his existence. He's even more of a shit character as you grow older because you can really see how truly unfunny and stupid he is without the nostalgia goggles that kept moronic kids from seeing how uncool he actually is.

      The new show will improve upon the lore. Super was nothing more than rehashes of Z. Plus Toriyama has complete creative control now.

      Is this bait? Beerus and Whis are part of the problem because they can deus ex machina the cast out of any situation. If anyone could land a hit on Whis, the wrath of the Omni King, the Grand Priest, and all the other Angels would probably smite them hard enough to expunge them from the whole timeline. If Goku hadn't killed Moro after what happened with Merus I'm 95% sure the Grand Priest would've smoked his ass as soon as Whis reported back, and that 5% doubt is only cause Merus chose to jump in and start hitting dudes as opposed to being jumped.

          They're not fundamentally bad characters, but their function within the story and setting ruins any sort of dramatic tension or danger the story might otherwise present. Even if they wrote in something about the timeline fluctuating and created some semblance of disbelief that they might overwrite the original End of Z canon with something new, they still have to write an excuse every arc as to why Beerus and Whis can't be the team safety net.

            I think the Tournament of Power tried to help in this regard, though it came far too late to repair all the damage Whis and Beerus did. Even they were helpless to oppose Zen-Oh when it came time to delete whole universes. As you said, if the heroes have characters that powerful around, it nullifies any sort of threat to them, unless it is Zen-Oh, in which case nothing can save them

            If Toei wants to seriously keep Whis and Beerus around, they need to figure out how to do it that won't impede on the story's tension, but I don't really see how that can be done since they are always around on Earth now, eating or whatever else

    The Android Saga leading into and connecting with the Cell saga were awesome. That's still my favorite time.
    There are so many twists and turns and power level increases, I love it.
    The point when part of the crew is trying to figure out what Cell is and chasing down this mysterious killer is excellent. Paired with the others fighting androids and struggling is great A & B storylines.
    Later on when they all have to train for the Tournament and we see all of the different training styles is so cool.

        Super Saiyan 4 vs UI -Sign- (if you set the visual designs aside) comes down almost entirely to the setup and in-universe audience. if you drop the UI -Sign- transformation into the Baby Saga and just have King Kai, the Supreme Kai, Old Kai, Pan, Piccolo, and Gohan going "WOOOAH" it's not gonna illicit the same emotional reaction. if Goku had transformed into a Super Saiyan 4 infront of two Omni-Kings, multiple Gods of Destruction, the Grand Priest, all the remaining Angels, and the multiversal tournament competitors and had everyone shitting bricks, it would have blown a hole in the atmosphere above Mexico. latinos would've been painting themselves Red the next day in the streets. lmao

        You're shit makes no sense. Why the frick would SSJ3 be stronger than SSJ4 and in what reality would pseudo UI be weaker than 3 and 4.

        it's not a power level tier list, it's a tier list for the reveal of each form.

        i agree, i think the Tournament of Power took a big creative swing at inception to try and shake up their Beerus safety net situation. one of, well i don't know if you'd call it a strength necessarily, but one of the things i appreciated i guess about DBZ and GT was that even the Kais and King Yemma who were supposed to be top tier shot callers could be threatened by a villain. Z Broly destroyed an entire galaxy and had its attending Kai fleeing for his fricking life. that was back when the stakes were "if Goku and the team can't stop this villain, there'll be nothing to stop them from killing everyone in the universe full stop. Super isn't like that though. even if Black Freeza showed up to Beerus' planet and started trying to kill Goku and Vegeta, Beerus could one-shot him for fricking up his lawn and attacking Saiyans he's taken a personal interest in and it would be 1000% believable based on the precedents set by this story and the state of the setting. it fricking bites.

                It is very difficult, if not impossible, to defend the sloppy not-SSJ2 Gohan VS Cell Max theme in Super Hero. They copied that old fight nearly beat for beat. It is very much just there for pandering instead of bringing something fresh to the table to enjoy. I'd have liked to see a proper Gotenks fight against Cell Max than what we actually got. I never saw adult Gotenks in a fight before, so that would have been new, at least

                about it. They have no shame because they know people will eat this BS up. It's funny how DB is still beloved while Star Wars is getting a shit ton of hate- I guess they don't attack their fans, but still that Cell max movie was horrible.

                Yeah, not directly spiting and hating their own fans helps for sure. Making some attempt to give their fans things they think they'd want also helps. Disney on the other hand, goes out of its way to give fans exactly what they don't want. Not out of neglect or ignorance, but on purpose, to push The Message

                Dragon Ball definitely has a lot of empty pandering and lazy writing, but that's preferable to having a kosher narrative constantly jammed into the product, to the point where it completely overtakes the product and becomes the product itself
