Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

[Kroneii1]

It took a supercomputer 20 years to properly copy and analyze and implant all the skills of Goku into another life form. ******* crazy

And I remember it took zamasu one fight to replicate goku's fighting style.

 

[RedReaper616]

I mean there's this, but it can also be interpreted as relating to physical stats or simply being (say it with me now) hyperbolic

I included this, actually.

I’ll eat and be back with a rewrite to try and get everything in order.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

lol, he literally verbatim said that the only reason he didnt want DB to get past 2-C was to keep it below saint seiya. like, there was a literal screenshot of him saying that in a VS thread. and he was a mod, yeah

If I said it then post the screenshot instead of conspiracy posting

 

[Huesito88]

If I said it then post the screenshot instead of conspiracy posting

The screenshot was posted here Matt (though whether it's doctored or something I got no idea)

 

[Ryzen7900X]

If I said it then post the screenshot instead of conspiracy posting

it was posted here, somewhere in this thread in fact too. though i'm not gonna waste my time and search for it to prove your own record to you lol. you know what you did, almost everyone old enough does. so its no conspiracy, no idea what you're talkin about

I mean that'd work for later iterations, but we're separating the skill boxes by the time they actually demonstrate those skill feats. Kid Goku isn't exactly as skilled as his older self who regularly fights perfect "Anti-Goku" fighters.

Probably. Trying to get all the Toei Stuff in order. GT Goku's Profile, now the Z-Goku profiles (alongside Ednaxel), my mini-blog for the verse page, etc. Really I'm just kind of overhauling the main stuff because in comparison to the canon stuff their profiles are very subpar.

that part, about it "being capable of creating star destroying machines" doesn't really matter much here, creating purely destructive weapons is a thing, analising a fighting style is completely different one, one is not inferior or superior, not comparable at all, i would say to just remove that part and just leave that it was a Super Computer

to say tho, this can't be entirely because of skill since he would also be creating a hybrid physiology between multiple completely different races of a alien races, so while yes, still a factor, can't be written as if skill implementation was the sole reason it took that long, unless there is a statement i am missing of course

I'll address the supercomputer stuff later, or someone else will, but in the 13 movie Goku was able to contend pretty evenly with 13 after going Super Saiyan. This was before Super 13 and Spirit Bomb stuff. So Goku would scale, he'd just scale evenly

Supercomputers across fiction vary in capacity and capability, so I figure holding the data capacity/capability of destroying planets, stars, solar systems, cellular alteration, hybrid creation, genetic engineering, etc. is a valid way to kind of put a marker of how much "data" it can analyze and utilize casually compared to Goku's fighting data, which took 2 decades.

In the Anime the Computer contains both the DNA and martial arts data of "All Earths Masters." Frieza and Cold's DNA was only entered 3 years before that, so it was just the Saiyan info from the Saiyan Saga and the combat information of all the Z-Fighters that took years long before that moment, meaning only Human DNA except Goku.

This is true, yeah.

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Before anyone starts arguing about the two decades thing, let me figure out the timeline before we dive into that plz

 

[RedReaper616]

I mean it's pretty straightforward, no? The Androids reign terror for about two decades in Trunks' Future, which is when Cell is finally released and complete--Just after Trunks ganks them, hence why he kills Trunks and takes the Time Machine back to the past. Account for the few years it took to get that data (Saiyan Saga to Frieza and King Cold's appearance) or two to three years and you got a complete two decades. Goku's latest info according to Cell was taken from the Saiyan Saga, so nearly twenty to twenty years, and Gero had been working on Goku's data before that already, since he was making Androids to kill Goku between 8 and 16. They just sucked. So twenty years to fully complete their amalgamated combat data.

Im trying to remember what his relation with the supercomputer was. You had android gero, the one who turned himself into an android, and back up gero on supercomputer, correct?

 

[RedReaper616]

Yeah, Gero had his hatred within his Supercomputer working on the project (and the 3 S13 Androids) on the backburner. This computer was directly the source of the combat intelligence of the Androids and Cell. Which also is greater in the Anime Continuity, since it's working in real time to predict Goku's movements in the film.

see, you only put the pure AP of the machines it can produce, not the other stuff it can do, so if you want to use that point......just include the feats the Computer has instead, it would be better for your point

Piccolo isn't human tho, and since this is toei continuity, it would have the DNA of other beings since, iirc, Goku also fought Demons and other beings after the defeat of the Red Ribbon Arc

Like, it is still impressive it took this long, but alongside it not being only Goku's Skill to analyse, since it would have everyone else's as well, it would also need to analyse how to properly fuse all these different DNA's, mix their powers, and making it an anatomy that would allow the inherent abilities of them all to be usable for cell, all while also implementing the evolution function he has to make himself "perfect"

all this to say is, in your wording you are implying that Goku's skill in fighting in specific is why it took so long to complete cell.....but that is likely not the case, at least, i didn't see a statement about it, Goku was 1 part of a very big and complex project, unless we have a statement saying that he was the reason it took this long, giving him all the credit is not very accurate

No. No one gave me the invite.

Bro that's so sad. Lemme fetch you one blud

Dm me your discord

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

see, you only put the pure AP of the machines it can produce, not the other stuff it can do, so if you want to use that point......just include the feats the Computer has instead, it would be better for your point

I asked for people to hold on while I get a timeline. So far what we know of Gero's capabilities makes those things a cakewalk for him, plus there being a super computer working on the back burner while Gero himself is doing other shit.

I'm trying to get a clear timeline of Gero's activities so we can make this clear cut. Looking at other super computer justifications for other verses, they are usually wank or not well thought out in relation to combat IQ. That's why I need to figure out a timeline before we even start arguing.

Fair.

The issue I have is the fighting data is both from observation and LITERALLY Goku's DNA. While you're right in saying it's more than 1 person, the DNA and the naturally generated fighting data from it are ONE and the SAME. Further, it should be noted that within the context of the Anime, the Supercomputer still had to gradully work to overwhelm Goku, which is backed up in the film. They stress that the main focus was Goku's Combat Data. That said, they had data on others still.

oh i am not worried about the Super Computer's capabilities, more so in "how much of that is purely Goku's Skill" in the "it took X many years to complete Cell" process

Fair.

i mean yeah, my point is not much "Is skill included in DNA?" and more of "There much more stuff then just skill to complete cell" and "there much more DNA then just Goku to account for, thus saying he is the main cause seems baseless without a statement about his DNA being the factor of why it took so long"

Further, it should be noted that within the context of the Anime, the Supercomputer still had to gradully work to overwhelm Goku, which is backed up in the film.

i mean.....duh, this Goku is much older and more experienced than the one where Gero stopped getting Data, which was at the Saiyan saga, therefore this "new"/Current Goku has Data they didn't accounted for, hence why it analyses them again to be able to counter them

They stress that the main focus was Goku's Combat Data. That said, they had data on others still.

eh.....i don't really see that in the scans you showed, mostly i see that 13 was made specifically to kill goku, so of course he would focus on Goku's data to be able to kill him, that is more cuz of the objetive that was "kill Goku" than "goku skill/data is so much more that it needs focus"

I mean, Cell's physiology was complete as far as we know. He was there in his larve state in that incubator. The rest of the time was finishing and honing him, and the only stuff left we know of is the combat data.

When 13 shows up he outright says they already "have all the data they need."

You're missing the forest for the trees. If they're putting priority on Goku's data, then that data by necessity is being covered more compared to everyone else's.

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Gero himself started Cell, so most of the work on creating the body with all the combined DNA would've been done by him physically. That means the supercomputer was left to analyse Goku and Co's skills and techniques.

As for the 13 thing, Goku is still able to fight equally with someone who knows a lot of his moves and actively has a super computer reading and countering his moves. If you want to argue timeframe of the fight, then it'd still mean the super computer couldn't overwhelm Goku quick enough because he had grown so much in skill since the saiyan saga in that time.

And Goku would scale above or relative to the other people being analyzed anyway, so later down the line come Cell he'd guarantee be more skilled or as skilled than all of those fighters put together if you don't want to accept 13

I mean....not reallt something we have any information to affirm it was finish, he at least didn't looked anything like his finish self in the tube

Plus "was complete" when exactly? How much time was spent honing him and how much time was just making his body?

More over, i don't want to lose sight

When 13 shows up he outright says they already "have all the data they need."

Gero said the same thing when first fighting Goku and Vegeta......it didn't turned out good for him, also, he says this in the context of them upgrading the data in real time via 13, so this proves more the capability of the computer to gather more data than Goku in this case

You're missing the forest for the trees. If they're putting priority on Goku's data, then that data by necessity is being covered more compared to everyone else's.

Yeah, but they are covering as in "how to surpass it to kill him" in which all other fighting styles would, by nescecity, need to be as much analysed as his to know exactlt how to use them to overcome his, and given the sheer number, them all in total would be more analysed than his

Huh, that is true, we can't be sure of how much he finished however, but still, a very valid point

If you want to argue timeframe of the fight, then it'd still mean the super computer couldn't overwhelm Goku quick enough because he had grown so much in skill since the saiyan saga in that time.

Yeah, that is a valid feat, he is keeping with a Super Computer, no matter what is said, this fact cannot be contested

And Goku would scale above or relative to the other people being analyzed anyway, so later down the line come Cell he'd guarantee be more skilled or as skilled than all of those fighters put together if you don't want to accept 13

Assuming they were analysed perfectly......kidding lol

Yeah he would, the 13 feat is not something i am contesting as a feat, more so the details of it

Your last point literally just means the supercomputer literally thought the only way to surpass or match Goku in skill was to take more time to analyse a bunch of other hyper masters ontop of Goku's data. It doesn't think just copying Goku's data will be enough to reliably deal with Goku.

Goku was so skilled the computer didn't think Goku could match up

That doesn't make any sense but you get the idea

Given how well 13, 14, and 15 did against stronger Super Saiyans compared to 19 and 20, I think the 'all the data we need' is more legit. (For anime stuff ofc)
