Re: Who else here got into Dragon Ball with original series?

It's hard to remember which was the very first episode I ever watched (I was only 4), but I remember watching parts of the Red Ribbon Army and the 21st/22nd Tenkaichi Budokai arcs around that time. Since DB aired early in the morning in my country I didn't get to watch it everyday, so a lot of times...

Re: What would be the breaking point Super would do that would make you feel like it jumped the shark?

a Golden form for Freeza and making him reach the power of Blue in 4 months overtaking all previous DBZ villains, How is that any different from Gohan getting stronger than 23rd TB Goku (or even Raditz) after just one year of training with Piccolo? Goku's 5 year old kid gets more powerful than he e...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

I'm late to the party, but the announcement of this game was some of the best Dragon Ball news I've had in years. Even before all the trailers, gameplays and images that came out throughout the year, just that first trailer in January 2019 and the announcement of an Action RPG developed by CyberConn...

Re: Should Dragon Ball move forward from the "Goku Saga"? If yes, what new DB stories would you like to see?

The problem with DB is that Saiyans are too popular so we'll just be going through the same thing we did in the original with Goku, starting from whoever trying to reach Ssj up till UI. I think the Naruto world has a better chance at working in a next gen setting compared to DB as it doesn't have t...

Re: Should Dragon Ball move forward from the "Goku Saga"? If yes, what new DB stories would you like to see?

The examples you gave have split fanbases. Star Wars has been awful imo and Boruto has been pretty boring. I started with those 2 examples simply because they're the most popular and recognizable titles but I did I give 5 other examples: Jojo's bizarre adventure, Saint Seiya, Digimon, Fate/Stay Nig...

Re: I think it's time to admit Gohan is a terrible character

I was never a fan of the character, but I wouldn't say he's terrible. As a kid my favourites were Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo and for a while I assumed it was the same for most people. It was only later as a teenager in the mid 2000's, when I first had internet at home and also through talking about DB...

Re: New Dragon Ball has succeeded where new Star Wars failed

I don't know about that, if anything modern DB and new SW are very similiar in the sense that both made a shitload of money yet completely divided the two fanbases.

Albeit, Super and new SW get criticised for very different (almost opposite) reasons.

Re: What’s everyone’s opinion on how the manga has so far handled the Universe Survival arc compared to the anime?

For the Zen Exhibition Matches and Freeza's recruitment to the U7 team, I'd take the anime version over the manga. As for the ToP itself, I'd say it's a bit too early to comment on that. While I am a bit worried with how fast the eliminations are happening, as long as Toyotaro keeps with the "2...

Re: Old artstyle vs New Artstyle 2.0

Late Z Yamamuro looks perfect, I wonder why they couldn't just stick to this design instead of keep re-designing for every new show/movie/special that comes out. All they needed to do is trace Yamamuro 90's drawings to a modern computer and then update the colors. It's not like Goku has aged in any ...

Either some of the people who've posted here (not all) only red the title of the thread and didn't bother to read the rest, or maybe it's my fault for perhaps not being very clear in my OP. My question wasn't so much "Should there be a new DB series in which Goku is replaced as the MC?" bu...

Re: Should Dragon Ball move forward from the "Goku Saga"? If yes, what new DB stories would you like to see?

Boruto is a borefest with little to nothing going on in its plot while star wars is an SJW mess that has somehow managed to split the fanbase even more than the prequels did so Not gonna argue with that, I'm not a fan of the new Boruto show or the last two SW Episodes either. I did like Rogue One a...

Star Wars is currently moving forward from the "Skywalker Saga" with not only TFA and TLJ, but also Rogue One, the upcoming Han Solo movie, the SW Rebels cg cartoon, the upcoming Rian Johnson spin off trilogy, Jon Favreau's announced spin-off TV Series and probably something else I'm missi...

If he isn't Yamoshi, then he's at least related to him, otherwise I don't see other reason why Toriyama would first reveal this Yamoshi character to the fans just a few days/weeks away from the movie being announced on Jump Festa. As for which universe he came from, IIRC Toriyama's message from the ...

Re: Is anyone starting to feel franchise fatigue yet?

No. If you compare it with other shonen series like Naruto, One Piece and even Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball hasn't really been milked that much when it comes to new content (i.e. not counting with videogames, DB Kai and merchandising in general). No offense but considering we went just through 20 straig...
