I've never seen those before, they're great and look really fun.

Ok, along with Pan's first flight that's two objective improvements over the film version.

On an unrelated note, what the fuck is even going on with dbz multiverse? The damn thing is 20 years old and those french niggers still haven't revealed the bad guy yet. Last page has vegito being butthurt that goku and vegeta learned half-ass ultra instinct.
Krillin can nearly cut through Cell Max? Power scaling is truly out the window in DBS, that's almost up there with Roshi vs Jiren. I wish they'd just give the human characters new forms already, if they're going to try to make them relevant.

It's the only good post-Z Dragon Ball media so if it continues to update forever I'll be happy. It's just a shame the fan base are a bunch of retarded apes, it's the one detriment to DBM

Bra is an edge lord mary sue, the king vegeta oc is even edgier, giga Nail has even less personality than normal Nail, half of the real cast just stands around and states how sugoi the ocs are, the arc pacing is glacial enough to make One Piece look taut, and the lead staff are the type of ture and honest fan who sincerely believe that Goku became 57 thousand times stronger between Cell and Buu.

I dunno how you got the idea that the schlock was any good. It never did anything interesting as far as I read. I think I got as far as Ginyu body switching with King Cold or something before I got bored. And like RX-78 said, Bra is an obnoxious Mary Sue. Like of all characters, why her? Literally the only characterization she's ever gotten was in GT of all things.

Yeah, it's fucking awesome.

At least it tried to be consistent, in that Goku wouldn't be exhausted and need to conserve energy, then be back to SSGSSFDSFDSF form literally the next episode like in Super. And Goku was only mildy retarded (I think - it's been years since I last saw it).

It did give us this, though:
I mean I'd take it over that stupid love universe from Super but it's still dumb.

That's another thing that bugs me, why do people insist that Cold can transform? He would have done so to same himself against Trunks or at least attempt to before being beheaded, and if he's proportionally the same as Freeza in his alleged second form then he would have one-shot Goku after his dumbass let him change. It also undermines the fact that Freeza is a hornless mutant who barely resembles his race from what we've seen through Cold and Chilled--Cooler has yet to be graced with the Broly treatment and thus doesn't count yet.

I'm sure Frieza mentions in Z that his "final" form (white) is his true form, while his "first" form he uses to keep his power in check. As for King Cold not transforming, he probably thought he had Trunks when the latter handed him his sword. By the time he realized the difference in power there was a hole in his chest. He simply didn't get a chance to transform.

Right, pure white Freeza is his natural state and he changes into the first form to not detonate the planet he's on by mistake: I'm saying it's also done to resemble the rest of his kind more closely because he lacks the horns and his torso, shin, and forearm bone armor are not as pronounced. Goku still had to fight mecha Freeza and Cold in Trunks' timeline so Cold would have had a chance to power up thanks to Goku's fight autism, it just doesn't add up no matter how you look at it and thus the implication is that Freeza is the only shapeshifter.

It's still quite a leap of logic to go from Goku likes fighting -> King Cold can't transform. The point is we don't really know what happened in the "true" timeline. Trunks is vague on what went down because he only knew about it through word-of-mouth, long after the fact. "Goku defeated Frieza and King Cold" could mean any number of things. Maybe King Cold can't transform what I'm saying is we don't know for sure.

I'm 99% sure this is just my power scaling autism but one thing I like is that the order in which they were effected matched their ranking in power levels, starting from Giru and ending with Goku.

Or they both just have different base forms, maybe that how Cold looks normally, different from how Frieza does. Though Chilled is probably not canon, he's stuck just in the "first" form we see Frieza in, and is certainly weaker than even Cold, which makes sense. Whichever form is their base probably determines their power.

Or, more likely, we put more thought into it than Toriyama did.

Fuck it GT> Super. I’m serious GT even while not perfect had far more consistently good animation and while it fell short of its own ambition generally still felt Dragonball and came form a place of heart and passion.

It really does feel like Toei and it’s creators were giving it their all to really create something special unlike the corporate run Super that Toei made out of obligation to generate money alone by filling it up with fucktons of characters and nonsense. GT never felt cynical in any way to me and has one thing that Super doesn’t: ‘creative heart’ GT is great I don’t care.

Oh and the ending of GT is genuinely one of the greatest endings to any anime ever, not just Dragonball.

Haven't checked in a while but the bad guy is black shenron from what I gather. There are 2 fights left: shenron vs. giganail and goku vs. the winner of the former.
 
Is the Super manga still going? How long are they going to milk it if so? I do wonder how honestly in the eventual sequel series to super how they’ll manage to write Goku to be somehow even stronger than Ultra Instinct, the whole narrative is that it’s literally his ‘ultimate’ form. Nothing is stronger than it, it’s the strongest you can be without being an actual omnipresent deity like Zamasu or Zeno? What kind of bullcrap will they make up?

And Super Saiyan 4 is the best form after Super Saiyan 1, and not even that far behind it.
 
Eh I prefer Vegito personally but to each their own.
I've never really considered fusions to be forms/transformations in and of themselves, but I guess they technically are. What I mean is compared to stuff like Super Saiyan Blue, Ultra Ego, etc,
