Chrome, Safari, IE Favourite Manga Rave Master, FLCL, .hack//legendofthetwilight, Naruto II	Hey mate, The ACE here. I'm sure by now quite a few of you have run into me on the boards. My posting style is pretty distinctive, since the vast majority of my posts are pretty long. I'd like to think that they're well thought out and bring perspectives of the series and topics that were glossed over previously to light. Some of my opinions and views on the characters are very popular in character and plot discussions. And some of my versus thread opinions are less than popular, perhaps due to the more linear nature of statements used to determine power level whereas I use characterizations to try and keep them in context. This clearly doesn't always work and I seem to do better at figuring out how characters work and think. So I've decided to check out each character and break them down to a cellular level. The stars of the Dragon Balls so to speak. I'm getting past the power levels and figuring out what they can really do and to see if they live up to what we believe these characters are. I expect to garner a lot of respect for this and expect to attract a lot more hate, but I think this is a good way to take off the nostalgic goggles, break down the blatant fanboyism and see our first and favorite heroes in a different light. I'm starting strong here with a solid Kamehameha. Post responses and comments there or here. Looking forward to reading responses. If this goes well, i might check out another character next week. I'll even do your suggestions if I think the character has enough material to work with.

I don't see Dragon Ball as a Super Saiyan fest.

So far everyone thinks Gohan should be the second one I do. I'll count everything up Friday and decide who to review next.

I read 90% of that (Because it was a bible ) You covered pretty much everything, and I agree with most of your views. However, I think Goku is more intelligent. He was taught the customs of the Human race by Roshi, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Krillin and co. He is a fighting genius. I think Goku was based on Bruce Lee You should do Gohan next. I'll look forward to that

Chrome, Safari, IE Favourite Manga Rave Master, FLCL, .hack//legendofthetwilight, Naruto II	I can see Goku kinda being an allegory for Bruce Lee. He's also a tenacious individual that never gave up and decided to slaughter limits as he could. First time I've heard that though, good perspective Vegeta. And Strimez, also very true. I don't think I mentioned that in my review (I mentioned literally everything else). It probably doesn't change how I wrote everything out, but it's worth noting.

	Tribute to Goku! Tribute to Gohan!

I started watching Gohan's key episodes and associated story arcs, his review will be up next week on Tuesday. I'm trying to do these one character a week.
