Re: With Super almost finished what do you think of the overall series?

2.1 Season 1: God of Destruction Beerus - It has a moment or two but it accomplished nothing that the movie either did better or in a fraction of the amount. Stick with Battle of Gods. 2.2 Season 2: Golden Frieza - Again, it has its moments but even the extra stuff just becomes redundant in later ep...

Re: Did they forget Goku has a sharp sense of smell?

In short, probably. In long, it's safe to assume that he senses things with Ki instead.

Re: Things that grind your gears

I get annoyed when people give me a hard time for pronouncing several names correctly. I read the manga and I watch the show subbed I'm accustomed to their proper names. There are exceptions since if I say "Saiyan" correctly or Kuririn then 90% of DB fans I speak to have no idea what I'm t...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I got into an argument with a couple of buddies because I said that Yajirobe is a badass! Come on! The dude at one point cut his opponent in half, stuck a stick up his ass, then ate him! I always wished that he got to play a bigger role in the later part of the series so I was glad to see him come ...

Re: Why is everyone able to put up a fight against anyone now?

People don't know what they want in situations like these. A person does, but an entire fanbase will never come to one conclusion. For years everyone complained that Goku and Vegeta were the only ones that really mattered and even then it was usually just Goku. But the tournament arcs was where we g...

Re: At equal strength, who are the best fighters?

As boring as it sounds, Goku seems to be the best at reacting to the situation and coming up with an effective strategy.

Re: Peculiar Piccolo Line in DB Super Manga ("I am not Namekian")

I just keep seeing too many similarities between Piccolo and Veget's character arcs in relation to the struggle of American Blacks. Like...accidental or not there is a definite parallel Why is this a spoiler? If you think it's going to cause an issue then why post it at all? Also I'm Black and I do...

Re: How do you feel about certain meta jokes?

How about when Muten Roshi, disguised as Jackie Chun, found out Nomu's backstory and determined that he thought something was wrong because he was out of place in a gag manga? Not to mention any and all Dr. Slump references.

Re: Why does Funimation refuse to acknowledge the term "Ki"?

Is there really any reason to? Toriyama’s concept of ki has little to no differences in nature to how energy is in reality (aside from shooting from their hands and the fictional level of control they have over it, of course). It’s not even like it still has that “mystical,” mysterious nature it on...

Re: If there is a new series, what title would you suggest?

How about an adaptation of the Jaco: The Galactic Patrolman manga? Honestly, if they adapted pre-existing material, I'd rather see a Dragon Ball Heroes anime. It would be dumb and crazy, but if the Victory Mission manga is anything to go by, it would at least be rather different territory for Drago...

Re: Why does Funimation refuse to acknowledge the term "Ki"?

Unfortunately it just falls into that pit of liberties taken with the material that are leftover from the early days of DB's localization. That's why Kaio is "King Kai" (and why he sounds like a muppet instead of a somewhat wise old man), the Kaioshin are "Kais," Tenshinhan is &q...

Re: How do you feel about certain meta jokes?

I miss the frequent 4th wall breaking jokes that were more prevalent in manga. Such as when Kuririn accused Toriyama of having Goten and Trunks repeatedly fail the fusion on purpose so he could keep reusing the same panels, or when Goku punched Yamcha so hard he broke the panel.

Re: Is Sean Schemmel possibly tired of voicing Goku?

He’s expressed his dissatisfaction with Goku’s one-dimensional character on more than one occasion. I can’t really blame him. Goku has plenty of cool moments while fighting, but as a character, he’s pretty boring. He’s an alien country bumpkin and martial arts master with an adrenaline addiction wh...
