The Official Anime & Manga Thread Vol: 三

[frenchbreadbuilds]

^ Was king cold ever shown in an actual fight and not getting man handled by Trunks?
Well, officially King Cold has a higher power level than Frieza (around the time they fought future trunks), but like I said before he got his *** handed to him so it made no difference.

and for those curious about all the power levels in the dragonball universe
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Power_Levels

Where does it officially state he has a higher power level? It's def not in the manga from what I've researched.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

If it's not stated in the manga, don't believe it.

And IIRC Freeza was stronger but King Cold was "almost as powerful"

 

[2sappy]

The link I posted has the official numbers and stuff, all from official sources that dont include the manga. :\

 

[danikerhino]

If it's not stated in the manga, don't believe it.

And IIRC Freeza was stronger but King Cold was "almost as powerful"

Thought King Cold had a higher power level, someone put up them Angelfire/Geocities sites up to confirm.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

If it's not stated in the manga, don't believe it.

And IIRC Freeza was stronger but King Cold was "almost as powerful"

I think they say something along the lines of "there is another huge huge power as dar and sinister as freizas"

From what I can only assume is this. King cold is around just as strong as freiza was when he was killed by trunks. But it's also important that we take into account that Gohan mentions freiza is at about 50% of his strength.

And I know cooler isn't canon per say but If you were to factor in coolers existence wouldn't that have to make King cold stronger than freiza? if you take into account that freiza has 4 forms and cooler has 5 I'd assume that King Cold has atleast 3 additional forms to the one he was shown in. I'd think that since coolers 4th form and freizas 4th form look similar I think it's safe to assume King Cold is in his second from for the similarities he has to freizas second form. So if second form King cold is as strong as 50% of mecha freiza when all is said and done that would have to make King cold stronger I'd guess? But that's all non canon of course

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Gohan mentions freiza is at about 50% of his strength.

Never happened


And yall foh with that geocities it ain't 2004

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

Never happened


And yall foh with that geocities it ain't 2004

Let me rephrase that. Gohan says that freiza can get much stronger. Assuming he isn't at full strength.



Chapter: 330 (DBZ 136),
Yamcha: “This guy called ‘Fr…Freeza’ has such terrible…ab…absurdly large ki…?”
Gohan: “This isn’t it…he gets much, much stronger…!”

Gohan: “This isn’t it…he gets much, much stronger…!”

Oh ok. Yeah this is in reference to Yamcha never actually sensing Frieza's massive ki before. Gohan is explaining that this massive power is just Frieza in "chill" mode, and it's not his fully exerted ki (I.E.) against Goku

Frieza is among the characters who could modulate their power level (which was a rarity up until the end of Namek)

So was he killed in this "chill mode" ? And where does King Cold Stack up? Can we assume that King cold has the same ki suppression that freiza does? I just find it hard to believe that Freiza out classes his own father. King Cold didn't even seem to be worried about trunks until the very moments before his death. freiza already being dead.

Freeza is stronger than his father, otherwise he wouldn't constantly call himself the strongest being in the universe.

Also, according to the Daizenshuu, King Cold is "somewhat inferior" to Freeza which I agree with based on what's presented in the manga.

You don't think he was saying that out of arrogance? He constantly said that Goku was inferior to him even as Goku kicked his ***. And now that bills existence is canon It has to be assumed that Freeza knew of Bills existence and possibly even the supreme Kai's? But I guess that's besides the point.

What in the manga supports Freeza is stronger?

What in the manga supports Freeza is stronger?

1. Bills and Supreme Kai are retcons introduced much further on in the story. Toriyama makes things up as he goes along. They did not exist as characters during the Namek and Trunks sagas

2. I just quoted the Daizenshuu which is basically Toriyama's version of Kishi's databooks. So if the Daizenshuu says King Cold is "somewhat inferior", then King Cold is somewhat inferior

3. The Daizenshuu also states that Frieza is considered the true leader of his organization and not Cold. However, Cold is considered a "secret" leader.

4. Freeza says IN FRONT of his father that he's the strongest in the universe. Cold clearly does not object to this statement

I'm pretty justified in assuming that Freeza is stronger

I'm not trying to argue with you just looking for supporting facts. Is the line in the Daizenshuu a literal translation? Like
I said I'm sure freizas arrogance was well known to his father. And King Cold seemed like to me atleast someone who would let freiza talk his **** even if it was true. In any case that family dynamic is weird. Maybe we'll get some mentions of King Cold in the new movie that clears some of this stuff up

[jays25]

Why not?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

1. Very first anime you watched?
-This is a tough one, only because it's difficult for me to remember exactly which one it was. I'll say DBZ, followed by Mobile Suit Gundam, then Pokemon and Digimon Adventure.

2. Fav anime you’ve watched so far?
-I've seen too many to have just one favorite. My favorite series right now is a tie between One Piece and Magi. All time i'll throw in Gundam Wing, Dragonball, Samurai X, and FMA Brotherhood.

3. fav male anime character?
-Similar as the above, and probably most others, there are too many to name, but i'll say Portgas D. Ace, Kenshin Himuar, and Itachi Uchiha.

4. fav female anime character?
-This one's a little easier, as I don't come across many female characters that are really memorable from a well-written standpoint. I'll say Ryoko Hakubi from Tenchi Muyo or Kikyo from Inuyasha.

5. anime you’re ashamed you enjoyed?
-Yeah i'm not ashamed of any.

6. anime you want to see but haven’t yet?
-Man I have a long list of these lol but off the top of my head: Log Horizon

7. best anime villian?
-Damn, Freiza really did set the bar back in the day I think, hitting pretty much every major note for a villain, without pulling on a person's heartstrings or having some sad, crappy childhood to justify the **** he did. but I may still have to go with Solf J. Kimblee. Completely, and utterly bat**** insane and crazy, similar to Freiza, but in an entirely different way. That character, is actually completely terrifying in that he's able to put on a charming facade to get others to trust him, and then at the drop of a hat turn on them and blow **** to hell.

8. fav fighter anime?
-Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple, and now that I think about it, that main character is up there for favorite anime male lead, because he is truly someone with no talent, which is touched upon time and again, but gets by on hard work and dedication alone. Really that series is great for downplaying the over-the-top powers that are so prevalent in the most popular anime series, including my runner-up choice: Yu Yu Hakusho.

9. fav mech anime?
-Gundam. In general, Mecha is my favorite genre of anime, to the point that my friends are starting to consider me the guru of it lol and if it's in the genre it automatically goes onto my list. Really for me, Gundam is its own sub-genre that nothing else can touch, and everything's just competing for second place. For my favorite Gundam I then have to stick by Gundam Wing, but Zeta, Unicorn, G, ZZ; there are so many good ones that it's hard to pick just one.

10. saddest anime scene
-Damn...there's really just been so many, but FMA Brotherhood...The Chimera. Tucker was a sick man.

11. anime character you’re most similar to?
-Really not sure. Think it'd be better to ask one of my friends and have them answer. Though as a kid that was probably a combination of Yusuke Urameshi and Kurama.

12. anime that never gets old no matter how many time you’ve rewatched it?
-Shiiiiiiit, Dragonball, Digimon Adventure, Yu Yu Hakusho, most of what i've mentioned up to this ponit really. But let me also throw in Pokemon, the Indigo League to the Orange League. It's only on looking back at it, but really, that was the shows golden age.

13. fav. animal sidekick, pet or summoning from any anime?
-Agumon

14. anime with best animation?
-I would really have to go back and search through my library for this one, especially as there are so many different types of animation out there. Off the top of my head i'm gonna say Gundam Unicorn though.

15. most epic scene ever?
-God damn it lol FMA Brotherhood Everyone vs Father, Ace vs Blackbeard...You know what, **** it. There are too many. Goku going SS3 for the first time.

16. anime character that gets on your nerves?
-Chi-Chi from DB/DBZ/DBGT, Sakura from Naruto, Cody from Digimon Adventure 02, Ash from Pokemon

17. fav goofy anime character?
-Lupin lll, no question Though that'll vary from series to series, film to film.

18. fav. weapon, gear, or armor used in anime?
-Hmmm, don't suppose that a Gundam counts as armor does it? If so, Wing Zero Custom. Beyond that, Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi is pretty awesome, followed by Tessaiga from Inuyasha, can't beat all those different forms.

19. fav attack someone used in an anime?
-The Kamehameha is a classic above reproach, but I think i'll say Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

20. moment that shocked you most in any anime?
-Ace's death in One Piece is the most recent and memorable I think, because I truly did not expect him to die.

21. saddest anime death?
-Ace and Jiraiya I think.

22. best anime fight?
-Man, DBZ is full of them, and I think i'll have to pull from there for having so many of them, the majority of which are memorable. So let me say Goku vs Freiza, Vegeta vs Goku (1st time during the Saiyan Saga's climax), Goku vs Cell, and then Goku and Vegeta vs Kid Buu. For the original series, Goku vs Tien (1st time), Goku vs King Piccolo and later Jr., and surprisingly, Yamcha vs Tien.

23. most bad *** scene from any anime character?
-Hmm, let me move off some of the stuff i've mentioned already and say Gurren Lagann, when Simon is getting ready to head into space with the others, when he first has Lagann fuse with the Cathedral Terra (Super Gurren Lagann I believe), and then appears in front of everyone in new clothes, an outfit similar to the one Kamina used to wear. Literally like five seconds prior he was wearing something completely different, and then just walks in looking like a boss, with the most epic music in the world playing.

24. fav quote from any anime character?
-Continuing with Gurren Lagann
---"Don't let the what-if's, maybe's, and if-only's distract you. The one thing that you chose yourself, That is the truth of your universe."-Kamina
25. an anime you wished was real?

26. an anime you wish never ended and continued on?
-No such series exists. As much as i've enjoyed all these stories i've been lucky enough to read and watch, all stories must come to an end and receive a proper conclusion.

 This use to kill me. I remember waiting forever for Goku to turn super saiyan. I remember the days before youtube when I would go to sketchy sites to watch short 10 second video clips of different DBZ scenes.....and other things

Bleach

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Alright chapter until that ending. Are you kidding me?! Ichigo's Quincey blood killed the Soul King?! That's one hell of a twist.
This manga feels more like a comedy to me now.

And the Nisekoi Manga finally had more plot development.
