Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Yeah, I don't get this assertion that waiting for Super's anime return is so absurd. As if the last two movies and the still ongoing manga don't exist. Oh, yeah. Super is totally dead and buried, guys. lol Even Daima doesn't necessarily point to the end of animated Super content. For all we know, th...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

That is very true. As much as people here like to say "Dragon Ball is Dragon Ball," that's never been the case. Z was always been more popular in the West, with many of my generation never even watching the original series, or starting it and getting bored halfway because it wasn't like th...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

TBH, the lenght of preproduction, talent and resources allocated to this irks me a bit too because somehow, I just DON'T see Toei giving Super 2 the same 2-3 years of prep and top talent too... Let's say they do. That would mean Super 2 wouldnt be out till... 2028? I mean c'mon. Same. TOEI's decisi...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

At this point, I don't really care that much. It's not worth the energy. Dragon Ball is little different from Garfield comics now. Eternally static characters, who don't grow older, placed in a continuity that makes less sense the more you think about it. Each story is a disconnected thing with litt...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I'm currently curious about when (and most importantly, in which continuity - movies, anime or manga) Daima takes place. The "movieverse" is the safest choice, I think, but who knows. If I remember correctly, in Ajay's livestream it was said something like "some events of Super will ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Well, fans have speculated for a while that there is a missing god. There's the Grand Priest who is the top angel, and there is Zeno, the ultimate destroyer god. It seems like there should be a third, for the Grand Priest to serve as the neutral intercessor for. Is Zeno also a creator god? Maybe, ma...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Like both Goten and Trunks are supposed to be pretty strong, and when Trunks uses a ki blast on 18 in 453, which's specifically not at full power, she's baffled how strong the attack is, with her dodging probably meaning it'd hurt if she got hit, and when they go SS to show off how strong they are ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I get the sense the Supreme Kai was kind of a red herring at first. Making him all mysterious, having him make these evil looking faces. But after his true identity is revealed, as well as his intentions, he softens and becomes a vehicle for explaining the plot. IIRC, he doesn't even fight a single ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Something I still don't understand. Does King Kai have god ki? If not, why not? He is a god, isn't he? And if he does have god ki, how did Goku instant transmission Cell and himself to his planet? Goku wouldn't have been able to sense his ki then.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I don't think Piccolo Jr's rapid growth is typical of his species. Since he has the memories of King Piccolo, I think he just quickly grew to adulthood to catch up with his mind. Dende, on the other hand, is just smol.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

The line about Dabra going to Heaven because he'd find Hell to be too pleasant is also from the manga. Now, I'll play Devil's Advocate here and say that, before Super was conceptualized, Hell would've functioned similar to the Anime interpretation. But after Toriyama revealed in Super that there's ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I believe Yemma says that when Goku sees him regarding having Frieza brought back to fight in the ToP. I'm having trouble finding the scene, though, because Google's search engine is absolute garbage now, and insists on giving me a bunch of stuff I didn't ask for. It's the same scene where he heavil...

Toriyama: "I like the afterlife, there's a lot of hot babes there." Also Toriyama: "Oh yeah, everybody becomes poofs of cloud after you die, but somehow Raditz managed to fight Enma Daio. Also, your body needs to be intact to be transferred to the other world." Also Toriyama, ag...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

But back to topic: Piccolo and by extension his children were all clearly meant to be of an entirely different race than "Slug people from outer space." None of his children look remotely Namekian and Toriyama flat-out admitted in interview he didn't mean neither Goku nor Piccolo to be al...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Tambourine, Piano, Drum, etc, are they considered namekians? is it racist to not consider them namekians? In Japanese culture, as I understand it, anyone who is consumed by evil can become a demon. Piccolo was the Demon King, and it appears that his children were affected by that, being born as dem...

Kami: "Yay! I'm alive again! After all these years, I'm no longer a lesser part of Piccolo! What should I do with my newfound freedom?"

Goku: "Hey, guys! I defeated the guy who cast that spell on us! Now everything can go back to normal!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfHBrhMM5bk This video finally explains what DBZ did right and Super wrong with its animation and without comparing to the EPIC QUALITY ANIME STUDIOS. Yeah... I have to agree. Super is a shadow of what Dragon Ball used to be. Outside of the movies, which are of bette...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

If this spell making them kids returns them to the power levels they had as kids, which seems to be the case, Can you elaborate on why you think that's the case? The way it is described, it sounds like the show will rely less on ki blasts and transformations, and Goku is back to using the Power Pol...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Probably not going to be something the show takes into account, but Vegeta was born with a much higher power level than Goku. Although Goku was able to surpass Vegeta through sheer determination and hard work, Vegeta started with an advantage. If this spell making them kids returns them to the power...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

To be fair, we've never seen a mortal character fused for this long. It's always over after a few minutes or an hour tops. I think what Salagir is going for is that all of the power, after being on top of the food chain for his entire existence, has corrupted him over time.
