Remember when Yajirobe killed one of Piccolo Daimao's children, and then fucking ate him?

In anime if the character has muscles that means they are a jobber. DBZ is basically the only one where a character with muscles can be expected to win.

Imagine having the prestige of being the spawn of a literal demon king (pre-Namekian retcon), just to become the lunch of a fat dwarf

Well actually, 16 was stronger than 17 & 18. But youre definitely right about Vegeta and Nappa lol

Whats interesting is, Toriyama likes the more than meets the eye/dont judge a book by its cover trope, but when its all said & done the villain usually ends up using a form thats big & imposing anyway (Vegeta going great ape, Freeza at 100%, etc.)

17 is stronger now based off his performance in Dragonball Super. Dunno about 18.

Remember when Trunks got super jacked for an episode or two and Cell mocked him for being an idiot and Goku intelligentally explained why doing that was a bad idea?

Swole dudes were in tears.

The most OP guy is usually the frail looking old guy in most anime.

Just look at Baki. Everyone is super swole. Then the toughest guy in the series went head to head with a 140 year old man and got played for most of the fight until he went all out.

His 2nd form (the King Cold like one) is the most intimidating though.

love the 'badass old man' trope, huge fan, normally hate anime cliches but i hope that one never goes away
in a world where everyone's like "oh, the next generation will surpass the one that came before, blah blah blah"
in comes grandpa godstompers, who rips off his shirt revealing his 86-pack and unleashes pure fury with the most broken techniques imaginable

like, i don't keep up with bleach but i'm pretty sure if aizen hadn't cheesed yamamoto he would have ended the series early.
was really hoping dragonball was going to pull this trope with the grand kai back in the day, but nah. dragonball would rather have a space toddler be the god-king of their universe, and the next tier down is a bunch of effeminate blue dudes who look even softer than base zarbon

Honestly big buff characters in general aren't really that common in most anime anymore.

You think that's more intimidating than his H.R. Giger Alien ripoff of a second transformation?

This. It should in theory be the most horrifying, but he manages to look like a goof instead.

I think 18 got weaker ever since she became human.

Fair point. I guess it always looked way better from certain angles.

He woulda fallen asleep at the start of the match. There is no future for Buu in Super besides sleep.

Ignore the Moro Arc
