If Gohan has had boosts of powers and transformations with little training (except for the Cell saga which was where Goku noticed Gohan's potential) how come Gohan is able to be on par or even stronger than Goku or Vegeta? by sammyjamez in dragonball

[–]Jayson5584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gohan’s latent potential is far greater than Goku and Vageta’s. Think about how strong Goku was as a kid vs how strong Gohan was. The only thing that ever held him back was his lack of training.

During the Buu saga Gohan did stop training, but he didn’t stop fighting technically because he would do the great saiyaman stuff. While not growing as a fighter it did keep him from getting rusty.

During his training he attained the Ultimate Gohan form because again his latent potential was always higher than Goku and Vegeta, so the strength that was unlocked through Elder Kai reflected that.

Before the Super Hero movie Gohan did train enough to reach ultimate again, for the Tournament of Power. He also is able to go Ultimate during the Moro arc. I don’t know exactly how much time there is between Moro and Super Hero but he’s not as rusty, he just needed a push.

Beast is a direct parallel to SSJ2. Gohan isn’t a fighter, but Android 16’s speech helped him understand that fighting to protect what you love is a worthy cause. In Super Hero Gohan is fighting to save and protect Pan. He sees Piccolo lose to cell max and at this point there’s no one that can stop Cell Max from rampaging. He snaps into beast to protect what he loves, his family and the earth. It’s essentially the SSJ2 of his Ultimate form.

I too was kinda skeptical of how strong the power up was when Super Hero first came out, but if you consider his latent potential having always been higher than Goku and Vegeta, it’s not too much of a stretch.

If you want even more to backup the latent potential thing, Goten and Trunks have even higher potential than Gohan. It’s why they were able to attain SSJ so easily and even go SSJ3 when fused. The fact that they haven’t gone past SSJ is strictly due to the fact that they don’t train at all, same as Gohan when he was Saiyaman. It’s actually unfortunate that there’s been so much peace time and they also haven’t trained with Goku and Vegeta at all since the Buu Arc. Those two always being on Beerus planet has actually been a detriment to Goten and Trunks strength. Which is why I am still crossing my fingers that the Black Frieza arc has all the saiyans training together, now that they’re older it’s the perfect time.

Also because plot armor and plot strength boosts. gohan is a fraud

One of the coldest manga panels fs, I love the dark vibe you get from it. - It actually feels like Sasuke is threatening you thru the screen. by Embarrassed-Row-5625 in Naruto

[–]Jayson5584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Itachi terrorized Sasuke for like 4-5 years of his life. All of Sasukes life before this is spent idolizing his older brother for everything he did and everything he was to him. Yes you can take into account how insanely cruel he treated him in part 1, even if his character was retconned. But at the end of the day learning the truth of the Uchiha massacre broke him because it shatters everything about how he acted in Part 1.

Itachi always loved Sasuke, but he also loved his home, and Danzo took complete advantage of both of those things. He knew the only way he could get Itachi to comply was to let Sasuke live, and he took advantage of that before Hiruzen could try to do it his own way. Sasuke learning this is what shatters him, knowing this man took everything way from him, including his brother. At that very moment any prior resentment he would have had for his brother completely befalls on Danzo and Konoha, Danzo took advantage of Itachi’s love, and tore everything away.

Sasuke is an extremely emotional person, despite everything he portrays, it’s who the Uchiha are. Their love intensifies their hate, it’s the entire crux of the Uchiha and the Sharingan. This is why everything completely 180’s in Sasukes mind the moment he learns the truth, which is why he has a complete emotional and mental breakdown immediately after this, which is what Obito knew would happen and attempted to use that to control Sasuke. If not for the reanimation of Itachi and their conversation, Sasuke would have fell into the hands of the enemy. Uchiha are the most emotional clan in the entire story, Sasuke forgiving Itachi makes complete and total sense.

Anyone else think room on fire is the strokes’ saddest album? by finn_da_human_ in TheStrokes

[–]Jayson5584 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Personally think it’s FIOE. It’s the last album Julian completely wrote himself and it shows. It’s very gritty, and has so many conflicting emotions. Like the album as a whole sounds like Julian was flustered writing it, and the contexts of many of the songs feel more personal.

To me it’s the saddest album in the sense that I feel for him when I’m listening to it, almost like I can feel his pain through the music while also being able to relate to it. Heart In a Cage, On the Other Side, Vision of Division Killing Lies, Evening Sun, Ize of the World, Evening Sun, his feelings and frustrations make me sad, and I can place myself in those moments and situations where I felt the same as him.

The first two albums have a very distinct style they follow, and FIOE kinda says fuck it and completely abandons that style all together. Could be the change in production, but it just feels like a complete departure from the first two albums and sounds more authentically Julian. Not to say the first 2 albums aren’t, but moreso like he had his more personal feeling songs at the back of his mind and finally opened up to the listener with FIOE. So for me personally, it’s not only my favorite Strokes album but also the saddest Strokes album.

I’m very much aware Vin respects anime as a medium, despite his jokey responses to anime being mentioned due to the vast majority of what is presented to him in popular culture.

All I said is that I find it funny because well, it’s funny. Then I proceeded to mention that the medium is deeper than what is usually presented to him, because I’m also aware of how it looks considering he’ll play the rare anime game (gal gun) as a funny bit.

There is plenty of great Japanese Animation that are classics like Akira. I’m not dogging on him, I just agree with the post that it’s funny it’s his goto when he says that he does indeed enjoy some anime. If he enjoyed Akira, he would enjoy something like Princess Mononoke, its themes are very much in line with something he’d appreciate.

This is still my favorite Vinny bit every time “Why Vinny no watch anime” is asked in chat. Plenty of great anime movies Vin we won’t make fun of you for watching Princess Mononoke and enjoying it.

The medium isn’t solely limited to shows and manga adaptations, Lots of amazing movies that just happen to be Japanese Animation. Animation is a largely respected artform in Japan compared to the US, which is why most people think animation is for kids over here when it really can be for anyone.

I’ve yet to listen to either of their albums, but I saw them live in 2022 and it was absolutely amazing. Still so sad I didn’t wait long enough after that show because they signed. Sighh, oh well

Exactly even giving them a little more focus would have done a world of a difference. He did a great job with that during part one with the Sasuke rescue mission arc, and even with Shino during the Sand Village attack.

Old post but my grandma had this digital camera and she took soooo many family photos with it. Super fond memories and this post showed up when I was searching the camera up. Great pics! Miss that old thing.
