This is why TRPGs like EXALTED work, tbh.

You’d think from—the American—fandom, at least, people are tired of Goku and think he’s a sociopath.

Man, remember when Final Bout was categorically one of the best DB games ever?

Which is why I said “These things do not, largely, exist within the DB franchise,”.

I think the major stumbling block is the power scaling, for DBZ. Yeah, Dante and Bayonetta are incredibly powerful characters and OP within the realm of their own universes; but by dint of how strong Goku and Co are, wtf can you possibly populate a game with—in terms of mooks and encounters that aren’t bosses—that…

Also, this is a rich comment coming from someone who named themselves after one of the most tryhard edgelords in all of gaming.

Exactly. And, from what I’m seeing of the fighting system, it’s nothing we haven’t seen in the 120793123079 Budokai games that have come out before this one. Like, never mind that the RPG aspects of the game are lacking—no one really comes to DB for a good story, just a serviceable one—the fact this game is…

One Piece still regularly outsells all other manga series in Japan and their games are, largely, still good. Even the Musou game was fun.

A Dragonball rpg could absolutely work, of course. And so could—at least in my mind—a DBZ rpg. The former is basically just going to iterate on the successful formula already found in the DragonQuest series, but with its own twists and mechanics. Like, you definitely have enough story and weird but cool action bits in…

I honestly do not understand how anyone thought this would: 1) be an interesting retelling of DBZ; 2) be a good RPG, and C) be a good fighting game.

The Star Wars encyclopedia and recent (current canon) novel Plagueis confirm that he was Palpatine’s teacher. 

Because he’s white and mildly attractive.

No, that’s the exact right definition. But there are other ranks/titles within that framework—such as acolyte, which is someone in training to be an apprentice—and a lot of people don’t seem to realize that being a Sith also involves learning the culture and history and everything else of The Sith.

That’s not how the Rule of Two works, though. Darth Bane specifically called for only two Sith—a Master and an Apprentice—to exist, at any given time, in order to prevent infighting and the Dark Side from destroying the Sith.

Depending on the time period, Palpatine either enforced the Rule of Two or broke it when it became convenient. He took on both Maul and Dooku as apprentices, but because Maul “died” he was free to either corrupt or keep Dooku on as his main apprentice. (Dooku might have also just possessed the rank of acolyte when…

The funny thing is, actually, that it’s canon—in multiple current sources—that dozens of Jedi survived Order 66. Even the current animated series and videogames flat-out tell you that Jedi survived, so I don’t get why anyone would be up in arms about that. And the same goes for the Sith; Palpatine might have brutally…

Plageuis has the same problem, because he’s a throwaway line in one film, and only gets expanded upon in one novel. Him coming out in the final film would’ve been just as jarring because there’s both no set-up and because most passing fans will assume Palpatine killed Plageuis (which he does)... but not know that in…

Darth Plagueius was Palpatine’s teacher. This is covered in the films/novels.

1) In current canon, the Inquisitors were all former Jedi, and were only trained by Vader to better harness the Dark Side of the Force. They were never trained to be Sith, nor were any of them ever apprentices to Vader or Palpetine—thus they fall outside of the rule of Two.
