Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors
There are many characters on the outer limits of canon that I know nothing about. Like Towa. Is she important enough to care about how she is portrayed? Also what about Mai in these recent chapters in the manga? Or even her past self? I'd say Towa is important overall. She's the de facto leader of ...

Re: One Punch Man creator turns Oolong into a hottie for his new work
I wouldn't say pig girl has anything to do with dragon ball. Journey to the West came first not toriyama lol. We can't say every single reference to a fairy tale is referencing something that also referenced the fairy tail. But just looking at her and this version of Goku together, I wonder if there...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
How many dragon ball movies have been tournament focused? My random question. Would it be possible for a fighter to fight with their voice? Like a bard or something? I've always thought that ki and magic are "different" in this universe so I'm asking if a ki user could fight with songs. If...

Re: Dragon Ball New Hope
Nice art. Traced, but at least it looks consistent and pretty. Neat idea for a story and Kuririn is the best. I don't like that characters can age after death. Also, Son Goten is annoying. From what I understand it seems like only children age into adulthood then stop. Unless I skipped a dialogue b...

Re: Dragon Ball New Hope
I can accept the afterlife logic of no eternal babies. Goten's personality is basically kid Trunk's so yeah, its really off but I can ignore it. Chichi is cool so far. I havent finished reading it yet. Feels like the dialogue got run through google translate. So much of it feels stiff and awkward. W...

Re: Who else likes Chi-Chi more than Bulma?
Mixed bag. Chichi feels flandarized, riding that one joke of "oooh angry wife and strict Asian mother" so far into the ground she has discovered a new kind of dinosaur by now I'm sure. Meanwhile Bulma has mellowed out and taking on motherhood like a champ while juggling the Capsule Corpor...

Re: Will we ever see Hit again?
Guldo Hit combot is too broken not even ultra instinct could beat that. So they should totally team up so we can see what they can get away with. Hit is an assassin though so he has a specific job. Don't know if the story will ever swing around to needing a character like him again in the foreseeabl...

Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors
Its funny to me how nobody has even brought up Yurin. I straight up hate her, don't know what was trying to be accomplished with her, but I hope I never see her again. Neither Toriyama nor Toyo-tarou wrote Yuurin, so that's probably why the subject of her role in Dragon Ball Super has not be brough...

Is anyone watching Masako's video series about if Gine trained and didn't go to the kitchen? I think its pretty interesting.

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies
It's like someone got Goku and Vegeta backwards. Granted by Super it makes sense Vegeta would understand the benefit of meditation. I don't understand why Goku is holding the stupid ball when Broly is right there. Let him ask the questions.

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies
I think the easy answer is they believe children like this. A clear misunderstanding of the character. Which seems easy to do. Is Goku's personality really hard to grasp?
Is it normal for shounen protags to be stupid these days?

Re: Are you done with Dragon Ball?
Don't think so. But I don't know where my relationship with this franchise has been for a long time. I have so many problems with Super it's not even funny. But I still like Dragon Ball somehow. Likely due to fan content. I generally wait a long time before checking out the manga again anyway so I'm...

Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.
If I were Gine I'd probably think "Hmm well I don't want Freeza to know that we sent our son to a backwater to save his life from impending genocide." Without omniscience, her best bet is to lie or tell a half truth, just enough so Raditz knows where to look but also so that Freeza doesn't...

Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.
Kale and Caulifa are relatively fine, fans just don't seem to like them because uhhh reasons. Aside from that glaring problem in Resurrection F, 18 also gets off mostly okay depending on how you feel about the "Nice Guy rewarded with hot wife" trope and whether Dragon Ball falls into that...
