In other upcoming DB related Madman releases news... Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters is getting a complete collection on Blu-ray and DVD. DAMMIT! I just bought the individual Parts for it! That's why you've gotta check the 'Last Chance to Buy' section. I knew there was a reason for that sale...

I just saw this yesterday. Was gonna post about it, but I wasn't sure if people cared enough. I guess you answered that for me! I'm just glad we're getting a complete version of Kai TFC. The prices for the separate parts are kind of insane. Weirdly, though, I noticed they've been saying even the Z B...

Didn't someone make a thread like this before? And then it got locked? I feel like there was some reason for keeping it that way. Anyway, uhh...what DB youtubers do I subscribe to? Geekdom, Ajay, MistareFusion, Zeon, Qaaman, Blackenfist, ZeeHallums and MJxTV. ...huh. That's quite a lot when you add ...

Is that serious? Is Vegeta's '' cool moment '' going to be beaten by Jiren and continue to stand up just because of his pride? Will not he even be able to use his transformation in his last fight? Is not he going to be able to give Jiren any work in his last effort? Will not he be able to do anythi...

For a character who we hadn't spent much time with in the recruitment phase of the arc, who didn't feel like he had something noteworthy saved up for him in the beginning of the tournament, with his push to prominence in the final phase actually feeing surprising and sudden for some people (myself i...

I don't agree about thematically. The entire point was that bloodline and birthright and what "class" you are, aka inborn gifts, do not inherently make you better, and that the underdog can be the best through attitude and hard work. But during the buu saga, likely way after Toriyama stop...

Realistically, no. Thematically, yes. It was the end of the series, and the next arc has Vegeta fully 'settled down' with the focus on Goku and Uub. Having the final rival to Goku acknowledge Goku is superior to them and thus ending his arc of constantly striving and failing to surpass him feels lik...

I don't find it as enjoyable. I'm just not a fan of the antagonistic rival-buddies being the most important things in the universe. For one, it ignores everything about Goku that isn't related to Vegeta in some way (like the first third of the story) and it's also just kind of...more mean-spirited. ...

To continue on from what Wes is saying, another reason as to why it's so relatable is because he's still a child. Not every 9/11-year-old is going to naturally go out on their own without guidance from authority figures, and even if he's had situations of confronting authority figures before, that d...

https://i.imgur.com/52V67dP.png False promises. Just like how we were told Caulfila would become a SSJ3, this went nowhere. Unless they have something big planned for when/if Super returns. I just rewatched that episode, and with hindsight, it feels like what that line was specifically trying to sa...

Because they're both new power-ups that were introduced without names, with appearances that look like a halfway step between their strongest form and the strongest Saiyan form at the moment, and no prior indication that a distinct visible power-up could even be obtained in those forms without going...

I wonder if they'll do a long Gohan inner monologue thing. :think: What inner monologue? The one from the old Funi dub before SSJ2. I pictured them giving him some long wordy monologue to poke fun at it. There's poking fun of it, and then there's using the opportunity to not include it to show how ...

The fact it does look so similar to Blue felt like a sign that it's not going to be an incredibly important form that changes the entire dynamic of the story and the characters like SS1 and 2 and Ultra Instinct. Like Trunks's power-up, it's aesthetically so similar to their old form, it means you ca...

In a somewhat-relevant answer to this, I was discussing the fact I like Dragon Ball with my cousin recently, and she replied with "Yeah, I don't know anything about Dragon Ball. All I remember is when my brother used to watch it on TV. I remember there were these things that looked like Poke Ba...

I have never heard that complaint levelled to me regarding Dragon Ball before. I've seen people say it's overrated, or that other shows do what it does better, but not that it's outdated. But if you're actually discussing the series in the context of when it came out, doesn't that kind of make the '...

This is exactly why trying to give judgements by making graphs misses the point entirely. I do agree there were some parts of the ToP where Goku didn't necessarily need to be there (104 immediately comes to mind), but there's also a clear reason as to why there's such a big focus on Goku. With so ma...

First is the obvious debut of Ultra Instinct. And not just the debut of the new form (we were given so little information about it, I didn't really know what to think when it actually happened). For me, the big deal was the debut of Ultimate Battle. When I realised Dragon Ball Super was putting in a...

It is kind of interesting that your newest episode was something that wouldn't be out of place in tumblr fangirl discourse. This whole "is this character assassination or not" debate. Heck, seems like that might lead to your next episode, too. I've gotten a bit disillusioned over those kin...

Just a sudden thought. Looking back at the Trunks special, the anime in-particular, it has a very different kind of narrative of what an adult Gohan would be like compared to what an adult Gohan ended up being. Even with the different situation in the Trunks timeline, there are parts where it feels ...

You can't deny the power fantasy part of it. It creates a world where you could believe people could fly, shoot giant beams from their hands and punch people through mountains by working really hard. That only really applies to later on in the series, but DBZ is more-remembered than DB for a reason,...
