Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

but it's keeping in consistency with not using 'Kakarotto' or 'Hitto'. Long story short, the "o" vowel sound is used as the dropped-vowel in approximating foreign consonant endings, except in the case of "p-" and "d-" sounds, where the "u" vowel sound is used...

Re: Things that grind your gears

Yeah, it's about the fandom again but I hate that Tenshinhan's best friend is insisted to be spelt "Chaozu" when the Chiaotzu spelling makes MORE sense because it's intended to be a Chinese name. Especially since the same people will generally (correctly) lambast Funi for spelling the drag...

Re: Has Modern Dragon Ball made the Dragon Ball World too small?

This is all why I consider the 12 universes things to be unnecessary. What was the point of it if it's a scale that can never be properly shown, especially when a universe is just treated like a big village? Dragon Ball GT never bothered with expanding the cosmology and the pantheon yet felt larger ...

Re: Why doesn't Goku transform into the God versions of SS2 and SS3?

He'll do if they run out of merchandising opportunities. Though admittedly SSJ3B would be somewhat cool if this was like a total last resort move (moreso than Kaio-Ken)

Re: So why was movie Broly so weak compared to Kale's form?

Because each movie villain was as strong as he needed to be at the given point of the series the movie came out. If the Broly movie came out after the Freeza saga he'd be a bit stronger than Freeza in his LSSJ form, if Broly was the last movie villain he's be stronger than Buu.

Re: GT becoming canon possible avenues

GT is an alternate timeline on a meta level, it can't be a separate dimension or timeline in-universe at this point. Like in GT there's only one universe, no Gods of Destruction, different approach to power scaling, no Zen'O and so on. You could say it's all offscreen but I can't see it fitting toge...

Re: Does Super amplify Dragon Ball's problems?

All of the problems with DBS can be applied to the elder series especially Z. They're just as a bad. People have probably realised that DB isn't the worlds best written thing and have probably been exposed to more better series and so DBS not willing to evolve with its fans is what I think causes s...

Re: Will end of Z be retconed in Super?

Toyotaro said it stays as it is. MAYBE if they do decide to go past it after they might change like tiny inconsequential details, or retcon some additional events behind the scenes (like the backup time machine thing with Trunks' future).

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Somebody has probably said it already but I find Path to Power a tad bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good movie with really good animation but I just don't put it close to the top among all the DB/Z movies. My issue with it is that it has some rather odd flow and watching it it felt ...

Re: Favorite song in a language different than Japanese or your own?

I like the German DBZ and GT openings.
I like how the GT opening actually describes the plot of the first arc rather than being an unrelated love song.

Re: Do you like SSJ3 being a failed transformation?

That is pretty unlikely, Toriyama post BoG talked about how Goku and Vegeta would be better of training in and perfecting SS1 and that is what SSGSS is, god ki fused with SS hence the perfect Saiyan form and attempting to go 2 or 3 would unnecessarily waste energy kind of the like the similar idea ...

Re: Do you like SSJ3 being a failed transformation?

It looks pretty damn cool while being impractical. I think its rather rare use makes it more precious.
If something like SSJ3 Blue is ever introduced I'll have mixed feelings about it. Although they could pull it off well if it's something like a dangerous last resort transformation.

Re: What era would produce the best tournament?

Everything pre Piccolo Daimao Arc , cause from that Arc onward it's made pretty clear that Piccolo and Goku have a clear edge over every other earthling on the planet.

Even if humans do not have high potential just imagine a whole army of Krillins pooling their energy together. That could be a useful tactic.
On the other hand, I'd be terrified in daily life is an average jackass could learn to casually bust the planet...

Re: Shouldn't Vegetto have had armor?

My headcanon/theory regarding Vegetto looking exactly the same as in the Buu saga is that because a Potara Fusion character is a separate entity to those two that make him up, the looks that Goku and Vegeta had back during Buu played a role creating Vegetto for the first time, and after that Vegetto...
