Actually it's kind of good. Most likely the long ones are prepubecent nine year olds going on about how they would love to fly and shoot ki blasts.

This generally provides somewhat of an itelligent discussion thank goodness.

The problem I had with the whole DBZ series was they never accurately told someone's powerlevel after Frieza. I know it almost became useless but the knowledge would of been nice. It could of told you how much weaker gohan was as a teen compared to when he fought cell.

How strong vegeta actually was as SSJ2.

Or Goku's powerlevel at ssj3 and if he really could of beaten cell.

There's so much that cna be told if you knew minor things like that.

CML!!!! YOUR SO RIGHT! but you gotta admit..to fly would be pretty awesome

teehee

Hmm..Yeh. But if you think about it their power must have been in the 100 thousands after the frieza saga considering that in the Freiza saga they were in the 10 thousands. It woulda been great to know how much stronger Gohan was than his father when he became a SSJ2 (was it or was it jsut a great power that he had coz that has always made me wonder

)
Then again we never knew the power level of Cell either.

Well, it happened because Toriyama got tired of doing it. Same reason (although, not the reason given in the manga) that he stopped drawing tails. He just got tired of doing it. It was cute when Goku was a kid, hiding behind a tree and his tail was still sticking out. By the time they were adults, Toriyama just thought it was more trouble than it was worth, drawing all those tails.

After, Goku went SSJ, it was like "why bother, you know he's really, really strong." The scouters were gone, so there was no meter to gauge power levels. It was reduced to Kurrinin and Piccoro (Krillian and Piccolo) gawking everytime someone powered up to tell you how high their "ki" was.

As for flying. Well, Goku used Kinto-un (flying nimbus) less and less once he was an adult. The flying cloud was part of the original "Monkey that travelled to the west" legend that he took DB from. Since, it was moving away from it's roots into more or less science fiction, noiybu (power pole) and kinto-un were no longer needed. But, Toriyama preferred his characters to be able to move fast from one area to another, and since they all couldn't ride kinto-un, flying was just an easy way for them to move locations to fight.

Or as my favorite parody of DBZ says, "Oh no, he starteded blowing up a city. We need to move to somewhere that's completely desoloate, and it's no place in real life, and it's huge and it's a bajillion miles wide, and it's no place to be found on earth, but it's right over there!"

I could never get sick of DBZ i grew up with it. Not only that but when you grow up with a mother who loves fighting movies and shows then anything action becomes a must see...I was young and easily influenced by all the kicking and screaming, after school I would go straight to the tv on weekdays craving to know what comes next...how i miss those days. I use to go outside with my friends and we would act like we were the characters. I can't even imagine how i looked back then

That reminds me of the Vietnam war. We would watch the 6:00 news and then go out and play war. We used old pill bottles filled with baking soda and vinegar for bombs. Oh man, when those got thrown, we should scatter. They left a pink frothe on your clothes and whomever got hit had to face his mom with that stain.

Always reminds me of when Mike and the Bots destroyed a whole planet with a baking soda and vinegar bombs. Sixties kids know the power of baking soda and vinegar.

Not that I'm showing my age.
