Re: For those who read the manga first, what do you think of the anime adaptations?
I'm in the unique position of being most familiar with Kai than anything else, which is itself different from Z. But I have read almost the entire manga front-to-back thanks to the Rewatch trivia, and I own all the English Full Colors. Both have their pros and cons. The manga is ultimately far more ...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 98 - DBZ 274-278 (CURRENT WEEK)
This portion of the arc has not-so-good filler episodes You may have noticed that there's a lot less Trivia this week. That's because the anime at this point adapts the manga at a snail's pace: what should have taken them two months to get through actually took half a year, almost certainly because...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 96 - DBZ 264-268 (CURRENT WEEK)
Boo didn't absorb the people of Earth. He turned them into candy and ate them, which killed them. He absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo, so he transformed, but Gotenks and Piccolo were still alive inside Boo's body. Fat Boo not dying after being eaten might be because he isn't human, and his supernatural...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 95 - DBZ 259-263 (CURRENT WEEK)
I know that for many shows, hitting 52 episodes is a big deal because that means networks can air one episode of your show a week for an entire year. So they DO work their way around schedules and milestones like that.

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 95 - DBZ 259-263 (CURRENT WEEK)
It was anime-only. As I've noted a couple of times now, there are many moments in the Buu Arc that feel like they SHOULD have been in the manga, but actually weren't. Things like Videl's ki training, Goku meeting Goten, Trunks searching for the Dragon Radar, Boo killing everyone at the Lookout, Got...

I can never get enough of KBABZ's trivia. Thanks! About Goku's fathering skills, was it only in the anime that he hugged Goten when he came back to Earth? or was it just when GT's ending went over that scene? It was anime-only. As I've noted a couple of times now, there are many moments in the Buu ...

[*]Missed Trivia: The debut of Gotenks in the manga co-incided with Funimation's original thirteen episode run of Dragon Ball in 1995, with both events happening in the same week. Am I missing something? Gotenks debuted in the manga on July 26 1994 https://www.kanzenshuu.com/manga/chp-480/ Secret o...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 93 - DBZ 251-253, movie 12
It's important to remember that Vegetto was stalling for time for a REASON: he was intentionally trying to piss Boo off into absorbing him so that he can free his friends from the inside. If that wasn't a factor then I'd imagine he'd get to it a lot faster than he really did.

Oh, okay then. I didn't know the name first debuted in the anime and then the manga adopted it. A very nice trivia there. Now, imagine if an actual character would debut in the anime first and then appeared in the manga later... :P My point with the trivia is that the manga does not name Bee or Mar...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 91 - DBZ 241-245 (CURRENT WEEK)
I never thought about it like that but it does sound like Toriyama was planning on recreating those plot beats from the Daimao arc. Or perhaps playing on audience familiarity to pull a fast one on them? There's a lot of story ideas that Toriyama recycles (stalling until Goku shows up being the most...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 91 - DBZ 241-245 (CURRENT WEEK)
This is one of the bigger nitpicks i have with this part of the Buu arc, as they all just assume Gohan has been killed by Majin Buu and gone to the Next World without even really verifying to see if it's true or not. I mean, surely one of those above mentioned at least could check to see first. The...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 91 - DBZ 241-245 (CURRENT WEEK)
One giant misfire of this arc is the reveal that Goku could have defeated Majin Boo then and there but decided not to “because he wanted to leave things to the future generation” it makes Goku look completely irresponsible and undermines the threat. When Goku fought Cell it wasn’t written off that ...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 90 - DBZ 236-240 (CURRENT WEEK)
. I kind of like the idea of having to depend on Goten and Trunks to save the world, with them being hybrid Saiyans. But I don't think that Toriyama knew how to properly write it. With all the talk about leaving things to the new generation (not just Goten and Trunks but Gohan as well) and ultimate...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 90 - DBZ 236-240 (CURRENT WEEK)
So, I want to talk about Piccolo’s conversation with Vegeta about his fate and how FUNimation handled it. It’s not nearly as controversial or talked about as Vegeta’s dying speech in the Freeza saga, and I seem to remember a lot of fans thinking it was well handled. But honestly it had the same iss...
