All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

Piccolo

I'm a bit iffy on these cause they seem like things Goku acquired from his training on Kami's Lookout, and not something innate to all Ki users
While they are things Goku learns on the Lookout, it’s all within the “fundamental basics” of Learning Ki he was taught, or is claimed to be by them as he learns it. The first was Popo demonstrating people who don’t have Ki can’t perceive Ki Use properly, causing them to see what is desired to be seen, the next from Goku is about Energy Sensory, in this case sending disturbances in the energy of the world around them when you can’t sense their Ki to maintain location knowledge, the last is clearing your mind, which is necessary to using and mastering Ki and on its own creates instinctive reactions. Such as when Goku after fighting all day finally gets into the zone and instinctively acts after clearing his mind. “Clearing the Mind” within Ki also creates the intimidation effect Chappa felt within the Anime.

I'll include it for now and see how it goes in the thread. Also these scans were from 20 days ago, what were these being used for?

I’ve been making scans and whatnot for my GT Goku profile. Trying to be thorough. I also intended to give you them for your Toei-Z Revamp Profiles.

Finally getting back into working on that Piccolo Jr. page, holy hell.
I hate writing so much; I hate researching even moreso.

Found something you might want to consider, at least if you want to include information from the Anime. According to Piccolo, growing into his teenage-adult body grew his power beyond expectation. In his words it "was no mere doubling or tripling. To that extent, it felt as if my body's VOLUME along {with it} was doubled."

So instead of being doubled normally, the volume of his power was doubled, or something like that? Pretty sure that's worth nothing and just flowery words. I'd personally just list it as 4x bare minimum, since it's above 3x.
 
There’s also Perception Manipulation, the need for total relaxation to use Ki (Videl learns Ki episode, I don’t have an Imgur for it), sensing disturbances in energy around your world even when they’re not exhibiting energy, Instinctive Action, etc.
So having a complete clear mind should allow one to have instinctive action, enhanced senses (touch) and resistance to perception manipulation correct?

I don’t think that can be said for all Toei characters though, a couple sure but I think a note should just be added to the page for that

Yes. Though I don't think it's enhanced senses so much as Extrasensory Perception, because the context of the episode is building off what Popo taught him before, which is about sensing Ki. So if anything you'd be sensing the disturbances in ambient Ki ("energy") around you to track objects/people even if that object has no Ki. Also, whilst there is normal Ki Sensing, in the Anime there is a heightened variation that allows you to grasp onto the Ki of your opponent with your own, creating real time tracking. This is part of what Popo taught Goku on the Lookout. I don't think this should apply to really anyone other than the Z-Fighters, Cell, and Vegeta though.

Makes sense I missed that but when looking through the episodes. But I think enhanced senses should also be allowed as Goku could sense the movements of Tien’s clones via feeling the vibrations in the air
Z-Fighters, Cell, and Vegeta though.
Cell is obvious
The Z-Fighters might have some statement on surpassing Popo or Kami in their training for the Saiyans, or something like them being taught by “everything we know”
Why Vegeta?

They also explicitly got Goku's Training in the Saiyan Saga, so they should get it.
Why Vegeta?
Vegeta got HIS Energy Sensing via copying Goku and the Z-Fighters version of it. So his should be just as capable.

Alright then that should be fine. I think this should just be on the profiles themselves, it feels unnecessary if it’s just gonna apply to a few characters

I think you're right, honestly.

Is there anything else I'm missing for Anime Continuity stuff?

There's the Original Anime, the Z Anime, GT, the Z-Movies, the 3 Maeda Side Stories, the 2 Specials, EotS OVA, and their respective guides. I don't think I'm missing anything to look into, but I want to make sure.

If you take a look at the Dragon Ball Z: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans you will find some cool hash, like death manipulation that causes some branches and other living beings to die
 
Now that I see that, I thought someone was going to make a Saiyan physiology page.
 
Gohan in Sparking Zero (what if) is strong af, and I love how he balanced training with work. The fact that he defeated opponents at SSJB levels due to his hard work makes his story feel so satisfying. I absolutely love it. The only part that didn't fully make sense was when he beat Golden Frieza out of pure anger, but other than that, it's amazing.
 
iicr, one time against Frieza in the anime, Goku could momentarily fight him in base after being encouraged, even after Frieza started using 50%
I'm pretty sure that was simply Goku drawing in more power from within himself due to experiencing a "vision" of what would happen if he lost.

That said, given Courage is literally a part of Ki, you might be able to argue this is literal. Especially since it's also about how Goku beat Broly, which was a power amp he got from the rest of the Z-Fighters.
 
(I mean unless the idea is through how cheering someone on can grant you more strength from that Toriyama interview, in which case increasing Courage increases Power...? Doubt it.)
i mean.....if we have any statement saying it is equivalent like that, for example "2x courage = 2x more power"

Anyway I would love to delete DBS Gohan profite and replace it with this one
 
Part of the rework is literally just trying to get the Anime Profile up to par with the Manga’s, since some abilities they share from even the same just don’t even have justifications or as good ones as their canon counterpart, which is part of reason it’s taking awhile. This is what it looks like currently.
Yeah that looks really good also I remember Goku climb a glass building in he's battle with Syn that's surface scaling
