You could make them the weakest, most pathetic feebles known to man, but as long as they dripped fire man...they'd feel great about themselves.

The rest of us know it's just a cheap way to entice teenagers to buy the shallow product. They need that oversized flaming sword of inadequacy to feel they have any merit, we know they need it whereas we do not to make anything of ourselves or feel good about ourselves or our product, and we make fun of their obvious weakness.

Dragonballz's main target is powerless, power-wishing adolescents. The very people who are least capable of wielding any real power.
this thread boils down to people who want more visual options,
and haterade.
Basically there are people who want the world to me more varied and diverse, and the haters who dont want anyone to be able to look different, the very sight of anything that doesnt fit their narrow view annoys them. Even if being in dipped in fire and having a huge flaming sword had nothing to do with any stats, or in fact had the weakest stats, they would still rage on seeing anyone dare to be flashy. They feel inadequate, and thus even though their own worth is not determined by anyone else, and they may in fact be the strongest player alive, they are still angry that anyone else can be flashy and happy, that anyone can feel joy by rules other than their own angers them more than anything.
