Re: Beerus and Whis are the worst characters in the history of Dragon Ball
We've seen worse gods in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to Thor 4. (I hope that's not a spoiler) A lazy god who does little sounds like Toriyama's humor. He did a manga called Toppio the Angel, about a lazy angel who doesn't like being disturbed or handling responsibility. But that said, gods...

Re: Mayumi Tanaka to retire from voice acting
I don't really believe Tanaka will quit her job.
And I hope that after One Piece she will still be in demand, not just for DB (as Krillin) but for other shows too.

DB doesn't really belong to Toriyama anymore, does it?
It now belongs to Toyotaro, Toei, and Funimation/Crunchyroll, and maybe Fox (since it still has film rights). Toriyama's loose reign over the story has the disadvantage of anyone making their own version, It's why the Abridged series worked out, and its popularity means it can be considered canon (a...

Re: Mean spirited girls in anime version
Complaining about mean girls in comedy anime sounds like a losing battle IMO.

Re: Does Yamcha's last chance of getting married is by getting fixed with a Saiyan female?
That would be interesting and more fitting IMO. Getting with the sister of your ex sounds like a karma move on Bulma from Yamcha.

Kazuki Takahashi (YuGiOh creator) was a fan of Dragon Ball
He claimed it as one of his influences. While he was more strategic and far-thinking than Toriyama, the influence is clear.
RIP sir.

Re: How much of a risk was it to give the movie to Gohan & Piccolo
I don't know if it was so big a risk, considering a lot of fans wanted to see more beyond Goku and Vegeta.
Them getting what they wanted was expected, their feedback to it is more debatable.

Re: Does Yamcha's last chance of getting married is by getting fixed with a Saiyan female?
Why a Saiyan female? Why not an ordinary Earth woman, or maybe someone builds an android for him?
But I feel for Yamcha, and hope he finds happiness.

Re: Would you enjoy a midquel?
Super was set up to be a midquel, I think. If it's done right - of course! I'm hungry for good Dragon Ball content. If it's like Super - nah. I don't know if I could handle another disappointment. This. I'd love small scale stories told in either of the universes. I think more stories could be told ...

Re: Any influence of Fist of the North Star on Dragon Ball's original production?
My feeling currently is that Kinnikuman (space wrestling tournaments) and Urusei Yatsura (space comedy) had the greatest influences on the DB manga.

Re: Are the four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?
A housewife is not just a housewife. She is a homemaker, a source of stability, a carer for the other home residents and someone who possesses the necessary maturity and judgement to be capable of such feats, and there isn't anything small or shameful about it. I speak from experience of my own late...

Re: Would Goku be less enthusiastic about fighting stronger people if he was not able to keep up?
It's difficult to see how a story would go when you remove an essential element of it. As an action tale, Goku is expected to be ready for combat, and has to be able to keep up. Either Goku becomes smart enough to confront stronger warriors, or he doesn't get bitter over it and moves on to something...

Re: did Yamamoto's plagiarism contribute to the dbz = rock music mentality?
Wasn't rock music associated with anime in Japan during the 80s and 90s? Hokuto no Ken and Saint Seiya come to mind.

Re: Why Goku Staying Dead is Much Deeper Than You Think
That is one interpretation of it. And a valid one, too.
And most of what happened after this, with the exception of Uub as an apprentice, feels like the show's power celling issues were starting to affect the story IMO.

I think only the ones dictated by prophecy (Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God) can make an impact like that.
