Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 8/20/18!)

I'm glad you talked about the mystery being solved immediately because I honestly never understood the people who praise the Cell arc for that aspect, when it's done so poorly. More like the lead up to Cell's reveal was pretty damn good for all that it's worth. That's not to say that keeping the my...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

While I understand if this is the end of the series, now I'm really hoping they go on, just to see what they do with all the ups and downs Gohan goes through in Buu... I kinda hope they go on with the Boo arc. I know this was a difficult one for them to finish, but being totally honest there is so ...

Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

If GT is Goku time then what is Super :lolno: hes even there when its absolutely irrelevant. Dragon Ball Super -Goku loses to Beerus -Goku kinda cheap shots Freeza when Vegeta already has him beaten (Freeza was going to blow up the planet so it was necessary, but it was really more of Vegeta won an...

Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

In the original manga Goku only flat out defeated the Red Ribbon Army, Piccolo Damiao, Piccolo Jr, Freeza and I guess Boo if you want to count the Genkai Dama of the entire planet's energy. And even in those arcs only the first 3 were Goku centric from start to finish. Goku was either traveling to N...

Re: I feel that Battles between universes was going too high

To be fair, they've been the strongest in their universe (and not just in the present day, but presumably ever) since the Boo arc--that fact is a major part of that story line. Whether it's a bit much to also rush them into being the strongest beings in the multiverse , or close to it, might be ano...

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

Don't act like the anime were any better. Beerus and the other Gods of Destruction spent MILLIONS of years trying to achieve this legendary technique, the Ultra Instinct, and failed, and yet somehow this random 40-yo-old Saiyan is able to master it in 30 minutes? I don't care if Goku is a prodigy. ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

That is probably the most ignorant thing anyone has ever said to me on Kanzenshuu. Come to think of it, I did watch Future Trunks kill a villain that is 1000x stronger than him by gathering energy into his sword from people on various planets. They basically combined the Genki Dama and Future Trunk...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

I’ve never watched Battle of Gods, RoF or DBSuper. Only short clips. I refuse to watch/support nonsense. Short clips count as "watching". Not for a discussion, though, as it's very apparent that you're ill-informed. It’s a shame that companies these days turn classic shows (that brought t...

Expecting him to be more sympathetic and die a tragic death in the throes if his unbound power. Think Terra from Teen Titans if you are familiar.

Re: Why Can't Goten & Trunks Use SSJ3 Without Being Gotenks?

Throughout the story, in either Toriyama's works or in other media, I cannot recall Goten or Trunks using SSJ3 without fusing into Gotenks: why is that, and why are they never seen even using SSJ2 & the SSJ Grade forms either? They're prodigious, in possession of high potential, and certainly h...

Re: Would y’all like it if Tori rebooted other Z Movie/GT villains?

Not really. Brody in the first film was one of the more fleshed out film villains and he was clearly insanely popular. I get the novelty to Toriyama retouching him up and bringing him into continuity. The GT villains were in a series and given proper time. The rest of the movie villains were way too...

Re: Do you prefer SSJB or SSJ4?

Blue, the color scheme just works and the aura really adds a lot to it. I've always hated SSJ4. It's too busy and tries to hard. It doesn't feel like something that would have been designed if Toriyama was still in the drivers seat. It just feels like glorified fanfiction that some kid would do if t...

Re: Was Raditz wasted potential?

It would have been better to just make Raditz a normal Saiyan. Making him Goku’s brother when it added nothing to the plot or his story inherently made him more intriguing and this more dissapointing overall than he should have been. Goku being an alien should be shock value enough. Secret brother w...

Re: What’s the general consensus on James Marsters’ Zamasu?

He's too good for everyone around him. He's somehow giving a very overblown character a very real(?) performance. It's not an "I'm doing an anime dub right now" performance, if that makes any sense -- it feels like genuine acting. It's very distracting to go from him to Schemmel's Black, ...

Re: Has Super impacted your opinion on GT at all?

I couldn't disagree more with the fan-servicey statement. GT barely had any fan service while Super was built around it. Super brought back Frieza (the most popular DBZ villain of all time) and gave him a massive power boost, gave us 2 of the first female super saiyans in the series, brought back F...
