I'm skeptical about this set. It's stated that it'll be released next month on the 11th, a Wednesday. We should have heard about this earlier and it should be scheduled to be released on a Tuesday, not a Wednesday. The 11th could be when this set is officially announced for pre-order, it could be a ...

The first UU set was seven discs and this set appears to be the season set that was originally set for this month and then delayed until a future date.

That 2012 date has been used on their site for years. All they know is an early 2007 date for the release but nothing that they can pin down.

In episode 077, "Birth of the Mightiest Warrior? Nail and Piccolo Merge", Freeza does indeed growl and grind his teeth at Vegeta, but only because Vegeta and company used up the Dragon Balls before Freeza could. He's pissed not because of Vegeta's strength, but because he can't get his wis...

If I knew a pig and a flying cat who could talk, I'd call both of them aliens. They all live in a world where everything seems to talk and do things normal people are unable to do. I would think a little kid who changes into a giant ape is normal considering my king is a talking dog.

The set we have known for a few months is going to go through some changes. The number of episodes will either be decreased or increased. The first season set is not due until February of next year.

Ah, but could the season set not be getting a higher episode count? FUNimation has only said they are changing the run time so at this point it can be either higher or lower. Only the official press release will put our questions to rest. Speaking of which, when the hfil are they going to do this?

You can still buy the first nine discs (episodes 1-27) but that is all there is before the release of DBZ Season One. The first season set is said to have episodes 1-39 on it.

Actually, it appears that there are no more Ultimate Uncut editions, period. Volume 10 was due to be released on the 11th of this month but nothing ever showed up in stores. What we'll be getting from this point on appears to be just the season sets.

I'm not happy about delay but I'll get over it. I am happy about the improved quality of the video and new packaging. But what about the runtime for the set? I hope they don't turn them into saga sets or cut the number of episodes down much. Maybe they'll add more, maybe. Hopefully Lance, the FUNima...

No, you're not nuts at all. Trunks is the first to mention Dr. Gero in the series. I think in the FUNimation dub they consider him a general in the Red Ribbon Army at one point. They also considered Taopaipai a general of the RR Army as well. Sloppy work on FUNi's part.

How can someone make a cure if only one person has had the disease or virus and has already died? The makers of the cure would have had to test the cure on patients that have the virus in order to make sure it works. It's possible that they did make the cure just for the purpose of helping Goku when...

I went back to the original source, Dragon Ball Z #12 manga (Dragon Ball #28 ). On page 143, Trunks is talking about the virus to Goku and says, "This is your medicine. It was an incurable disease in this time. But 20 years from now there'll be a drug for it." From this statement, I'm goin...

I've always thought that Goku contracted the virus during his stay on the planet Yadrat. It stayed in his system for three years, slowly growing until it became too much for him to handle and killed him. The way Trunks talks about it, it seems that Goku was the first one to have it before it spread ...

In our world, sensing someone's being without actually seeing them might be considered divine. In the Dragon Ball universe, it's just another day at the Budokai ring, nothing special.

I don't think of it as devine in any way. Think of yourself in a pool with your eyes closed. Someone comes swimming up to you and you can feel and hear the waves as they get closer. Do the same thing with a fish and it's harder to feel any movement in the water from that fish. That's what some of th...

I'm going with FUNimation using the animation they have been using for so many years and not using Spain or Japan's remastered versions. It doesn't cost them anything (except for the standard production costs) for using the version they already own and use.
