Re: Best/Worst Versions of Each Character
Goku looked best when hit Namek, before all the bulk (you'd be forgiven for thinking he has cleavage in some of the later stuff). This goes for his Super Saiyan form, too. Gohan was cutest when he had a bowl cut on Namek. Vegeta's always okay, but the Cell saga suit has the stink of regression on it...

Re: Cell Saga Vegeta
Filler Vegeta was more nuanced and interesting in his reaction to meeting SSJ Goku on Namek than he was in the entire Cell saga. Vegeta was proud of the guy, and that shouldn't have left him, even as feelings of envy, inadequacy, and pride in catching up grow stronger and stronger. It would be more ...

Re: How do you feel about this Gohan/Yamcha look similar fad
Drawing room theories and fun aside, Gohan does look too much like Yamcha in much of the Boo saga. Not because Yamcha's got a bad design, but because Gohan's waaay too buff for a fey, bookish guy, even as a teenager. The extreme reversal in RoF isn't an improvement, but I don't think either approach...

Re: Was Android 20 intended to be Dr. Gero?
This is due to one of the few legitimate examples of Toriyama being pushed to change things based on editor input. #19 and #20 were always intended to be the main villains, but the editor that he had for the manga up through the 23rd Budoukai arc, Kazuhiko Torishima, called them a "geezer and ...

If Goku learns about Fusion early on, Janemba's still screwed. Vegeta will find Goku in the afterlife.

Re: Movie 2, 3 , 4 & 12 story
I thought in Fusion Reborn Gohan was the one to kill Buu, that's why Goten and Trunks can fuse. If Goku defeated Buu, Kids wouldn't need to learn fusion. Movie 12 takes place (or at least fits snugly) while Fat Boo is living with Satan; instead of the days (or less than a day?) implied in the manga...

Re: What if Android 17 and 18 were the true villains?
It'd be an epic fight on that little island (I'm assuming the Android twins wouldn't bother leaving the city). The actual monsters from the future, Trunks as witness to their savagery, Gohan saving the day rather than the dead hero from the past, and Goku fighting 17 and 18 together as well as he fo...

Re: What do you call each arc and why?
Saiyan saga, Freeza saga, Cell saga, Boo saga. Simple, honest, and it's how I was introduced to the series in the early days of online fandom. When did people start saying "arc" instead of "saga," anyway? "Arc" is a perfectly good synonym, but fans here seem to use it ...

Re: DB and DBZ: Parts vs Whole
Z is pretty much The Ballad of Goku and Vegeta, with a subplot about Gohan. None of that's in the Dragon Ball anime. I wonder, if Z had begun with the Piccolo arc, would it have been as popular? Probably. But would English-speaking fans be more accepting of the Pilaf/Red Ribbon stuff? Or would it be...

Re: Weird misconceptions you used to have
Goku's secret plan to beat Cell was Gogeta. I thought it was to wish back 17 and 18, which would free them from Cell and weaken him. That's damn near what Toriyama actually did when he regressed Super Boo to Kid Boo. Looking back, I don't know why I'd think Vegeta would agree to fuse on the spot at...

Re: Can Babbidi release Gohan's dormant power?
He might well be as strong as he got after Old Kai made him Mystical, but he'd have to transform, taxing his body. I don't think using Gohan's dark side would be as efficient as Old Kai's approach, though. I know, "the brighter the picture, the darker the negative," but even if we safely a...

Brolly literally was the ancient Super Saiyan Vegeta talked about on Namek.
Fat Boo played Supreme Kai's role and had split from Super/Kid Boo a la Kami and Piccolo.

SSJ1 on Namek isn't surpassed until SSJ2 at the Cell Games, which isn't surpassed until Fusion. Simple and compelling.

Re: Is Videl Vs. Spopovitch one of the most brutal fights?
The fight is drawn and paced pornographically. I don't mean that in a judgmental way: I mean it's literally got the tone of something you'd see in S&M. Videl won't say the safe word, and Spopovich nearly murders her. Vegeta's usually the one taking the pornographic beatings, especially in the an...
