Re: General Website Goofs/Errors
The summary for Dragon Ball Z episode 266 says that Tenshinhan appears in it, but he doesn't actually show up until the next one (Z 267).

Re: Name adaptations
For consistency and recognizably between the different versions, I'd just lean towards carrying the names over as directly as possible Agreed. I'm always for keeping names as much as possible so that fans of different languages can easily communicate with each other about the same franchise without...

Re: Episode #0455 (07 October 2018)
Amazing. Masako Nozawa and Julian actually interacting face-to-face feels like something that would only happen in some crazy crossover thingamajig à la Smash Bros, but nope - it really happened! Autographs and photos are nice, but having an actual conversation with someone you admire is the dream! ...

Re: Favorite scene from GT?
I recently watched GT for the first time since (probably) 2003, and one episode that stood out to me was 28. When the evil Gohan and Videl turned on their own daughter, I felt so bad for Pan (I don't care how annoying you think she is, she's still just a little girl)! That scared wail from Yuko Mina...

Re: Why do people abbreviate Super Saiyan as SSJ?
If the word Jin simply referred to the word "people". Then why are the Nameks and Humans not called Name-Jin or Huma-Jin...? Namekians are "Namekkusei-jin", which would translate into something like "people from Planet Namek". The Japanese word 人 ("jin" or &q...

Re: Why is Goten still a kid in Modern Dragon Ball?
The only in-universe explanation I can think of is that maybe Goten and Trunks are like Goku, in that they remain child-sized until at least 15 and then suddenly get a growth spurt somewhere within the subsequent three years. Future Trunks contradicts that, but you could say that's just more timelin...

Re: Unshō Ishizuka, second voice of Mr. Satan, has passed away due to esophageal cancer.
Dang. I just recently read up about this guy, too, surprised that he voiced one of my favorite Pokémon (Onix).
May he rest in peace.

Re: Put your false Dragon Ball memories and confusions here
Let's see. When I first started watching the show regularly, Goku had just turned Super Saiyan, so my early misconceptions stem mostly from around that part. - Before this, I overheard some classmates talking about the show and they mentioned a "Freeza" whom I assumed was some kind of ice ...

Re: Your top 10 favorite story arcs in the DB franchise
My list includes only arcs from the original manga (and the first anime adaptation of said manga); I see everything else as bonus material, and whether I enjoy that material or not, none of it will ever recapture the magic of the original run. So, without further ado: 10. DRAGON BALL HUNT From Goku ...

Re: Episode #0448 (01 July 2018)
Very informative podcast episode for someone who hasn't bothered to keep up with Heroes over the years. I'm not really interested in the promotional anime either, but one thing I do really like about it is Kappei Yamaguchi joining the all-star Dragon Ball cast, as L from Death Note is my number one ...

Re: If Disney does make their own live action Dragon Ball films, what would be your hopes?
I have little to no faith in any live action Dragon Ball film ever doing the source material justice, but if it really has to happen again, all I ask for is that Jackie Chan plays Jackie Chun.

Re: Favorite dragon ball villains
The first ones that come to mind are Freeza and Piccolo Daimaô, probably because they were scary . First-form Cell, too. I love the horror-movie vibe around his first appearance. Sadly that goes away once the mystery is explained. Maybe it would've been better if Cell couldn't talk, at least in his ...

Gohan or Kuririn, probably. We don't see them "parenting" much, but they seem like incredibly gentle, caring fathers.

I remember DaizenshuuEX and Kanzentai co-existing. Hah. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that there are (probably lots of) people here who don't remember this. Feels like just yesterday to me. In fact, I remember thinking the merger was an April Fools joke initially, since it hap...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Episodes 81-85 - Discussion Thread [Rewatch - Week 17]
So, I am about 60 episodes behind your rewatch... and I can't even pretend I'll be able to catch up. But just a question: in episode 21, did they miss or accidentally excise the scene where Gohan gets Piccolo's outfit instead of Kame-style-with-Ma gi? I swear it was made a big deal about and anothe...
