Re: If the Z Fighters lived normal lives

There are 'outcasts' in the DB universe, beings and creatures that cannot apply to a normal routine. People have jobs as they have needs (do *you* pay your own bills?), but some of DB characters doesn't need money. Vegeta is mantained by Bulma, that's filthy rich (probably the richest girl in that w...

Re: How much of a risk was it to give the movie to Gohan & Piccolo

The entirety of DBS is halted in a kinda hiatus. The manga run in circles, the anime stopped and if you think a bit, the whole events of this movie doesn't touch the actual or future main continuity - ultrapower Gohan is still a billion time below Goku at this stage. I suppose the idea was to make j...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread

It's bad written, and probably the month by month schedule doesn't help. Goku and Vegeta got a boost from Bardack . Think a videogame buff. "Sayan Pride is a power buff!" BUT Goku find that the buff cannot be used in no emotional state as UI. So he revert back to Omen, that can use a bit o...

Re: A series focused on Gohan in his teenage years up till BoG vs. DBS as it is?

Is not that setting Super Goku Bros aside will automatically mean a better show.
The way you narrate things matter. YOu can do an exceptional Gohan show, or the worst pile of s**t ever seen.

It depend. What I really want is some real tension - and less Pokemon-ey feels.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

The wish: it's so generic it can mean everything. It can be translated to "prevent my kids from illness while they grow". It's doable and no lasting effects on the whole plot. As for Bardack expressing 'that' wish, we haven't any hint about sayans being *against* their prole. Every father ...

Re: All Bulma has left are old lady jokes

Old lady jokes written by men aren't funny and it really sucks that society thinks commenting on women in general is funny. Our patriarchal society has made being feminine or being women a 'bad' thing and that really sucks. One teacher in university even mentioned, that in grade school pics grandma...

I don't too, but it was another comedy moment starring Bulma. I noticed it more than that ageing issue.

I never met a "toxic community". If someone tell me that I'm dumb, is not toxic. Maybe I AM dumb for real. And maybe you *are* dumb, who knows. I dunno, really, sometime it look that people approach reality like the warm cuddles of their mum, expecting to get affirmative replies to their a...

Considering how japanese pronounce, it should be ... how in your language it sound as BAH-AH-DAH-KK(u).
For example, in italian the sound is preserved by using BARDAK.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The context is valid too, we actually don't see what happened to Raditz' body after Piccolo kills him. We are just led to assume it stayed right over there lying on the ground. So if they want to use Raditz for something, they can. -Muten, wtf is that thing on your beach? -That? An alien corpse. Is...

Re: Do you think the new transformation of vegeta will be important again?

All kids already purchased Blue puppets. Now they can buy Purplegeta.
As Goku will turn White from now onward, Vegeta had the need to turn something new to stay competitive in fandom perception. So it's really likely Vegeta is going to use it as the new regular boost (so, practically, every battle).

Re: Actually VERY FEW characters (mortals) from Universe 7 could get Granolah’s wish

It's like the Eyes of Shinigami. Surelly you get better, but is LIFE a good deal? Most of DB character will never do that for a simple morale thing: they don't want to die sooner. If their life is on a deadline already, maybe. But there's Goku for that XD. Granolah wish was portraited as the despera...

In most of Europe, is not that you cannot stream DBS, you cannot stream *anything*, you need a license to do any kind of multimedia entertainment for public use. If you own a club, you pay a royalty fee to the national agency to have the right of airing music and multimedia. At that stage, you can o...

Re: Has Toriyama lost his touch?

I think the behind-the-scenes of Super have put him in positions least likely to make use of his talents, so I don't think it's a good litmus test for whether he's "lost" anything in comparison to the original run or not. He's an incredible illustrator (and still pulling out all the stops...

What if King Cold and Mecha Frieza trained on the way to Earth? Mecha Frieza cannot train. He's not an Android (artificial humanoid) but a Mecha (mechanism), so he cannot go over his mechanical limits. ANYWAY, let's pretend - Most of the cast will be killed. But probably Vegeta will escape with Bul...
