Yes, seppuku. I even looked it up to see I spelled it right, but I guess I didn't look at the google results correctly. Not sure how you got bukkake from that, though.

I didn't think she held much sway anymore. Honestly don't hear about her much anymore. She replaced Lazzo as whipping boy and now she's been replaced by Demarco. Have no clue. I can't imagine it would flow with other shows too well and I'm pretty sure it will kill retention. And yeah putting it last is a waste of their investment. So yeah I dunno.

I'm watching Ghost in the Shell, so I can't cut out early. Quite annoying. I'd rather no slot than Bebop airing. It's been run to death enough as it is. It also wouldn't create the impression of there being a slot wasted. How do you know it's not taking up a premiere slot?

No one else gives a shit that the block is wasting away?

Oh I see. Odd. Don't really get why the show was made that way? They could toss this on last at night before comedy and probably wouldn't do much harm, regardless of if they air both parts. Though that may be throwing their money away. I dunno, I just really doubt they would air something like this except maybe for April Fool's. There's "confusing" and then there's ratings suicide. They aren't going to go too crazy.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 58 Discussion

In DBZ when you alter events it just creates an another timeline, which avoids paradoxes and is ironically probably the most scientifically plausible form of time travel. =3 -
How about no next Gundam? They have a low hit rate for quality. Yes, we all know Demarco infamously said he would like to always have a Gundam on the block, a Gundam slot, if you will, but I don't think this can continue. They got IBO to start out, as a fairly recent, popular Gundam series. It was pretty decent. Then they got Unicorn, which was just a trainwreck. They got IBO season 2 probably only to complete the series, since they got season 1. This season 2 has not been that great though. The writing and directions the story have gone have been baffling. I think this experiment is over.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=In the Pocket Looks like it's a musical reference or saying. I would have thought it had to do with pool. To me that sounds like something that you would expect Toonami to get. If he must get another shonen, I hope it's a good one. Does confusing mean the show itself is confusing or bizarre, or it's not something we would expect Toonami to get, or the decision to air it was? If it's the last option, you could say that about a lot of shows that Toonami has picked up. JoJo is already pretty out there. Not sure what would be even more crazy? I think it's more likely they go outside their wheelhouse. He did do that informal survey about other genres people would like to see on Toonami. If so, though, that means the show could almost anything. Super psyched so it's possibly something people are expecting or at least hoping Toonami gets. Attack on Titan 2 and SAO 3 are all but guaranteed regardless, and wouldn't be coming this soon, so hopefully it's Re: Zero.

Also that first One Piece episode was when the show went HD. So I think it was a combo of that and wanting to show new to TV content, but not jumping so far ahead people don't know what's going on. Long Ring Long is also a good low stakes arc where you can see how the crew is normally, get to know them a bit, before the shit hits the fan in Water 7/Enies Lobby. It's too bad they didn't get to show Marineford, though.

Dragon Ball Z Kai Episode 157 Discussion

Edited my post. I see the sources given for Frieza are Daizenshuu etc, so pretty official sources. The jump from form 3 to 4 seems way too much. That's way too high for 17 and 18 and WAY too big a jump for Cell. Doesn't even make sense he could get that strong since his strength came from the DNA, absorbing people, and the androids. But what is your definition of "way more powerful?" Frieza was portrayed as being god level compared to everyone else, yes, but while the androids were stronger than the Z Fighters, Trunks and the others were able to at least fight them. They were a step or few above. No one else really had the portrayal that Frieza had of being a totally different universe of power. She was putting up a fight against Spopavitch for at least a while. Both were able to fly and use chi. It seems clear he would be weaker than the Z Fighters but still somewhere in the range of the super-powered fighters. He was Majin after all. Don't forget how strong other humans were able to get. Videl at least was most certainly not in the double digits. And think of how much Gohan would have to hold back to spar with her. My other points from the last post stand. -
Dragon Ball Z Kai Episode 157 Discussion

I don't recall him or the series ever saying that each new character was 10x stronger than the last. Pretty sure that 1 million thing was filler? Power levels didn't exist before Raditz showed up either, and I think before and after stated power levels, just showing power through exposition, abilities, feats, battles in contrasting characters etc was good enough. It gave you a good sense of things. I don't know, that old list that was floating around the Internet in the early 2000s that topped out with Super Saiyan 4 in the early billions seemed pretty believeable in terms of all the characters with what was shown onscreen. Even then I think things might have been too high, in retrospect. Edit - Here it is. http://www.oocities.org/gohan2000_nz/powerlevelsmain.html This is what we had back in the day that I remember. Some of the other lists I found have 17 and 18's power levels different, which is STUPID. They're twins! Looks like a source was dbzgtlegacy, which sadly is no longer around. Found no sign of the GT levels so far either. I hope I still have that list saved or printed out somewhere. Anyway, these seem much more reasonable, but again, even these could be too high. And watching the rest of that video not only are numbers ridiculous but characters' in strength in relation to each other is nonsensical. Supreme Kai stronger than Dabura or Goten and Trunks? Lolno. There's no way Videl, Spopavitch, and the other guy were THAT weak either. And the increases from removing weights is ridiculous. Really, that video is just retarded, and I'm not the only one that thinks so, given some of the comments. Well yes, fusion forms being that much more powerful makes sense. -

Hey I think you're right! That makes a lot of sense. And yeah Kid Buu is definitely more dangerous in other ways. I think the actual numbers in that video are bullshit though. I think that old power level list that had Super Saiyan 4 in the billions or whatever turned out to be nonsense too. But this video is even more over the top than that. -

That's what I mean. It seems like Kid Buu is more dangerous, not necessarily more powerful, though I had thought it was both originally. It was explained differently in this Kai version, which is supposed to be a more accurate script to the Japanese version of the anime, and the manga.
