The alternative is not using him in comics, and Marvel will never allow it. For our purposes, then, the low showings should all be disregarded when arguing with anime/manga characters.

Beerus cannot kill those who are fully immortal. So characters like Doomsday, Lobo, Mr. Immortal, etc. would likely survive a Hakai in some capacity.

You disagree?

In Marvel and DC, they have to presevythe status quo. So street levellers like Batman, when on a team with literal gods and supermen, are still relevant. How are they relevant, when a human in DB is left behind? We get Batman and his feats.

Posted this in the manga forum, but since it's pretty dead I thought this battle might have better luck here.

Broly (DBS) vs. Buuhan

Broly is limited to his BASE FORM only.

Buuhan cannot use transmutation or absorption.

The problem is, you keep trying to make Manga and comics some kinda equals when they are not in any way comparable. You would debate a comic character the same way you would always debate them. That doesn't change due to them being in a Manga thread. If you think Batman can tank a punch from Darkseid in an Anime thread, you need to carry around that same thought in every other thread. They don't morph into a different character based off who they fight. Unless you have something in ruling that say otherwise. Something that you tend to only use when it benefits you and ignore when it doesn't (troll).

But when the threads are 'comic character Vs anime/manga character', then.... surely that's trying to compare them?

And as for name-calling, I'm not the one multiple mods have called troll (repeatedly).

Broly (DBS) vs. Buuhan

In the movie, base Broly soaked an attack from SSG Vegeta:
Link

In the manga, base Broly was able to briefly hold his own against Ultimate Gohan(who was already equal to Kefla a few arcs prior):

And then parry/withstand a few strikes from FP Beast Gohan:

https://ibb.co/DLdPfKd
https://ibb.co/2c3bRCx

...All of which is a lot more than I'd expect from Boohan, tbh.

That said, while Broly is a prodigy of the highest order and an absolute tank to boot, I somewhat question is his ability to definitively win here without transformations. Boo's infinite regen + stamina are absurdly OP and difficult for even the most seasoned warriors to get around, and Broly is still FAR from a seasoned warrior. So even if base Broly starts off more powerful, this nerfed Boo could still win in a battle of attrition -- he won't fatigue or take any lasting damage(sans complete atomic destruction, obvs); Broly eventually will.

this doesn't make sense to me. why would we disregard low showings for anyone?

that was only in the manga. anime kefla seemed stronger to me, and was way above anime gohan. still a good feat for broly though.

Dark only debate using high showings. That's it. Anything else is off the tables tbh.

Does DBZ have low showings like in comics, PIS, as it were?

With the hundreds of writers working across the years at Marvel/DC, we have variety in comics that DB does not have. With the continuity that we have in comics, where everything has to keep to a status quo, we get weirdness like Black Panther or Invisible Woman doing more damage than Thor or Hulk, for example.

There's no black/white in comics, just a middling grey where heralds and streets mix together.

When Spidey tanks the Ultimate Nullifier, is that not a low showing for the UN? It barely destroyed a city block, lol.

We shouldn't ignore that?

Isn't the UN supposed to destroy what it's pointed against?

Indeed. That's why I said "in the manga", and followed it up with a scan... From the manga. 👆

Well the DBS anime consistently shit on Gohan, but the manga randomly wanks the bejesus out of him. Even during the ToP, manga Ultimate Gohan >>> anime Ultimate Gohan... And Kefla is still extremely powerful in the manga as well:
Ultimate Gohan = Kefla >>> Kale >> MSSB Goku, MSSB Vegeta, Golden Freeza, Toppo, etc.

*I'm not saying that base Broly is on Ultimate Gohan's level, mind you. I'm just pointing out that he was strong enough to [albeit briefly] hold his own... And blocking/soaking attacks from Beast Gohan is an even better feat still, imo.

daima #13 was boring af. i don't mind filler episodes in a longer series, but it's just not needed in a 20 episode run. especially with all the other primary stuff they still have to wrap up.

the visuals were at least nice, but the plot was pulled straight from gt.

Then replace with anything else you want where it's a low showing.

Interesting. I didn't even know Kid Buu and the other Buus had God power within them.

Yeah, when Boo absorbed DaiKaioshin, he unknowingly received his God ki as well. That dormant power jumped from version of Boo to version of Boo, until it ended up with Pure Boo. When Pure Boo was destroyed, it transferred into his human reincarnation: Oob.

...And given Oob's feat during the Moro arc, the amount of God ki at his disposal is absolutely staggering.

I tried starting the new DragonBall on Disney but it's kind of hard to get into. The kid thing is kind of a put off tbh, but I dont even know why it bothers me.. I might try it again tonight.

Yeah, Daima's had a few good lore-building moments, and some great animation, but the story itself has been meh so far.

Do you have any faith in Toyotarō or Sasuke carrying on Toriyama's legacy?

Or it will be more like this?

do you have kid buu and uub above buuhan, like the anime implied?
