But Cell knew Krillin was there with the androids. He saw him before he absorbed 18 and was aware of his presence. He just didn't fucking care because Krillin was a small fry and he had more trouble dealing with Trunks and Vegeta before that.

Cell never lowered his "ki" guard. Vegeta specifically talks about this on Namek when he asks Krillin to shoot him.

This is what its come down to. Toeiyama fags arbitrarily deciding when defense is off whenever it suits them.

Stop thinking so hard about Dragonball. It's a story about the characters, not the finer plot details.

If you try to analyze power level shit with a scalpel it gets retarded. Why could Tao survive a Kamehameha but a human grenade kills him?

Freeza did that too when Vegeta shot him.

He was rebuilt as a cyborg, but the facts remain.

A human grenade wiped Tao out, while he could previously tank a Kamehameha no problem.

Defend these implications, torifags. Villains like cell and God's could be killed with a well placed sniper.

>>134887276
Because it was a character flaw clearly stated by Whis at the beginning of the arc.
>>
>>134887276
Because he's stupid. He did the exact same thing when fighting Piccolo Jr.
>>
>>134887324
Good luck getting Beerus to ever let his guard down. He kicked vegeta and gokus ass literally while sleeping.
>>
>>134887276
Because Frieza was losing power by the second and speed based on his fight with Vegeta. Also this >>134887329
>>
>>134887324
I don't think Torifags ever had any defense against Freeza's power gap when he was just ressurected and trained for a few months and is already on the level of the strongest beings in existence.
>>
>>134887376
If Whis can kick his ass, a laser can as well.
>>
>>134887407
He's not even close, he was much weaker than goku and Vegeta who are barely half of Beerus, much less than Whis, then you add in Champa and Vados and Nipplegod and the tourney fighters and Frieza doesn't even break the top 10 of strongest beings

Frieza looked at Sorbet beforehand and motioned, which means he clearly knew about the ring. It's not unreasonable that he put his Ki into that ring shot beforehand

Don't you think it was weird that Frieza killed all his henchmen beforehand, except he spared Sorbet? Clearly, he knew about the thing

>>134887276
Frieza had his ass beat hard. If you were in a boxing match and the opponent is collapsed long enough for the referee to finish counting and the crowd cheers, what would you do? Expect someone to snipe you from outside the rink?

>>134887892
It would have done the same thing: pierce him clean through. I'm not sure how more power would have helped.

Dragon Ball has always had bad writing, so chalk up Krillin hurting Cell to that too.

It's a poorly written series, there's not much to discuss about that. Fuck Toriyama doesn't care himself. It's still fun to some people though, but if you want to compare it's writing to other works 9/10 it's gonna be the inferior product.

It's a mindless punch fest adventure.

Power levels literally exist in order for people to be surprised when they turn out to not accurately predict the outcome of a fight. They are a tool to artificially increase drama and demonstrate that the villains rely too much on raw strength when real power comes from within or whatever.
Dragonball is and has always been a children's manga drawn by a comedy artist. It has also always had themes about how appearances are deceiving when it comes to strength.

I would like that they have the balls to finish what they start with Gohan in the Buu saga, that saga was supposed to teach him that training is important to protect his love ones, that's the epitome of Gohan character, but no one in Toei has the guts to write him differently, they have to make him job, then he starts to understand the lesson, then Goku appears fights the villain, fuck it in some way, have dragon balls fix his mess, and then Gohan's lesson is forgotten till the next time they have to write something for him.

I hate how overused this character flaw is, Goku supposedly should have superated this flaw, we literally had whole arcs on DB about him being overconfident and learning to not be, it was the whole reason Kame got into the tournaments, so his disciples would become overconfident. Then goku won agaisnt the strongest being picollo only to get his ass whooped by mr popo and learning he was being overconfident again. He had his last time as overconfidence by thinking he had won in the last second of the tournament.

And then, we have never seen goku as overconfident again through the whole of dragon ball Z, and now outta now where, here we have the flaw back.

>>134894175
You are right, anon. Gohan should just let Goku handle shit. I'm sure Gohan isn't going to mind his family getting blow up by Frieza, and Piccolo getting double killed.

I know you're joking, but none on Freeza's side seems to know shit about sensing ki or lowering it, its one of his weaknesses.

>>134894175

To be fair even without training Gohan is essentially a physical god. It's not like he knew that there'd be a ridiculously contrived circumstance that combined a warrior strong enough to beat Gohan (of which there's only a handful in the entire universe, even when he's not worked out in years) and the fact that Goku wasn't able to be contacted. Like, how do you even plan for that? When you think about it, how remote are the odds that anything that strong could come threatening Earth, and just so happen to appear at a time when Goku was in a faraway galaxy and couldn't sense what was happening?
>>
>>134894282
That would mean paying writers, instead of re-using the same script for the characters over and over. Heck, even the moonies are upset about this.

>>134894216

I'm astonished Gohan grew up as well as he did considering he's been participating in battles to the death and seeing his family and friends killed every other day since he was a FOUR YEAR OLD. By all rights he should be severely messed up in the head.

Eh, no. In RoF Gohan can hardly maintain SSJ, he's seven in the power rank, yes, but he's an ant in contrast with the first five.
>how remote are the odds that anything that strong could come threatening Earth, and just so happen to appear at a time when Goku was in a faraway galaxy and couldn't sense what was happening?
In some way, this always happens:
Saiyan Saga
Namek Saga
Mecha Frieza and King Cold
The androids (he was sick)
Super Buu
BoG
This always happen, that was the lesson Toriyama wanted for Gohan to learn in the Buu saga.
>Gohan ditched training.
>New bad appears.
>He's defeated.
>Daddy isn't available.
>Trains to protect Earth.
And now that I have the opportunity to say this, I have the feeling U6 arc is going to be the Super's RoF for Gohan. The anime is making too much emphasis in Gohan ditching his training, while the manga hasn't had the opportunity to address this. Maybe in the manga Piccolo is going to die for Gohan/his death is going to be Gohan's motivate to train in the manga.
I could be wrong, of course.

It's less Goku's overconfidence and more that Goku doesn't play it safe. Keep in mind this is the same guy who in almost every fight he's in, no matter how strong the opponent is, he always tries to keep his strength to be low enough to fight them evenly unless he really needs a curb stomp. Goku's overconfidence comes more from the fact that he doesn't try to protect himself and instead tries to test his limits as a fighter by keeping himself relaxed and on the same level as his opponent.

Frieza was a faggot. In a few months, he got an unstable form that could beat Goku. Why didn't he just train another month to get either more power or more duration of his new form? Why didn't he just destroy the Earth from orbit without telling anybody? Why doesn't he use the Earth's Dragon Balls to become immortal so he won't end in hell again? Why doesn't he turn to good after getting tangible evidence that hell is real and his sins will make him end there again someday when he dies?

>>134887407
removing the filler afterlife tournament arc, had we ever seen ANYONE from another race actually train?

saiyans could gain ridiculous power by training (even though vegeta never really did until he got back to earth. he and others like nappa and bardock got stronger by being in constant combat which is like training) and we know earthlings can train and get pretty strong for earthlings. we saw piccolo train a lot too, but his ceiling was found pretty quickly as well.

so what if just like earthlings and namekians, saiyans had a point where they soon become irrelevant, saiyans don't even have much potential in the overall scheme of things?


frieza and likely the rest of his forces NEVER trained. ever. even most of his random forces were stronger than king vegeta was and he was supposed to be one of the strongest saiyans. if a saiyan trained for 4 months, we know they'll get pretty strong. frieza, who was leagues and leagues higher than ANY saiyan, even the irregulars until they transformed finally training? his gains were going to be unlike any we've ever seen.

and as super shows us, whatever the fuck tagoma was had potential too. 4 months of being frieza's little training bitch and he was immediately stronger than any non-saiyan Z warrior. Even piccolo who had long surpassed goku's powerlevel when he originally beat frieza.
>>
>>134894294
well of course he wasn't overconfident much in DBZ

radditz was far stronger than him
he was pissed at nappa because all his friends died
vegeta was stronger than him and he had to nearly destroy his body to fight evenly with him.
he was pissed at the ginyu force for breaking his son's neck and nearly killing krillin

he WAS caught off guard by ginyu's attack, but then again, so was vegeta.

frieza was too strong until he killed krillin, making goku pissed.
goku was DYING when he fought 19
goku wasn't strong enough to beat cell. ever.
goku wasn't strong enough to beat buu. ever.


He was overconfident against frieza this time because he was still stronger than frieza, he knew frieza didn't even master his form and was constantly losing power (and would soon become unable to fight back, just like on namek) vegeta was equally capable of defeating frieza, beerus or whis could kick frieza's ass if they felt like it, and whis could turn back time if anything went wrong. also, senzu beans

In that case why didn't the Earthlings create weapons strong enough to kill Frieza? I mean they already had created Androids that dwarfed both Frieza and his family, why not do it again except make them good this time?

>>
>>134908896
it was a laser, a machine. Freiza has ki. Goku can only detect one.

exactly. since he was intentionally lowering his powerlevel while in the middle of a fight, of course he lowered it to a non-retarded amount.

You do realize that off guard!=retarded 1 power for the sake of surprise, right?

Even if taken "off-guard" Goku still should have packed millions while in that form. Getting himself into retarded Yamcha mode requires an actual effort like Vegeta did, and there's absolutely 0 reason why Goku would do that once the fight ended.
He was taken "off-guard", maybe, but that only means him being on normal state, not Vegeta "kill me" mode.

As far as i remember Frieza lost to Goku due to the ssj transformation.
Frieza cannot detect ki without scouters and can't manipulate it without his transformations.
That didn't get Goku too far anyway.In the end his shit was rekt.
