Re: How many of Toriyama cross-over and once shots were published in the U.S?
I'll just cover Toriyama's work as a whole. Let's get the big ones out of the way: Dragon Ball : All of the mainline manga has been released multiple times in multiple formats and styles over time, and is available digitally Dr. Slump : All of the mainline manga has been released, and is available d...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
I don't see how they're comparable, though. The old movies contemporary with serialization were 45-50 minute side-story features intended for airing exclusively in Japan as part of double- and triple-features at the Toei Anime Fair events, with later home video releases. The modern movies are all 90...

Re: DB Series TV-Size Karaoke Track discussions
I really don't see at all how that first post necessitated such an angry, over-the-top response. There's nothing that couldn't have been accomplished by simply removing all the toxicity -- you still have an informative, helpful, reasonable response with out it.

Re: How was Raditz planning on taking Goku back, in a tiny spacepod that only fits one person?
I assume that HE assumed both that Goku was still a normal evil Saiyan and that he had his own original space pod still kicking around from when he first landed as a baby (or otherwise had the technology to track down where it might be if he crawled/wandered away from it and didn’t know its location...

Re: Super Dragon Ball Heroes (Manga) Discussion Thread
Do you know if there is any written summary or something describing the JVC extra chapters? I am specifically interested in the 2017, 2022 and 2023 side stories, but I can’t find any summary or description. Sure! The Nagayama ones really just turn into quick little promotions for the series running...

Thanks for that! Totally on me -- meant to update the text I was porting from the fusion contest feature we posted a couple years back, and then totally brain-farted on it before publishing. Updated~!

Re: Super Dragon Ball Heroes (Manga) Discussion Thread
I have recently ordered the 3rd volume of “Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission!” and I was really excited because supposedly it would have included the two extra chapters from Jump Victory Carnival 2017 and 2019. The edition that I ordered was the Planeta Comic Spanish edition, but i...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
Just thinking, with the Manga it's credited as Story by: Toriyama. If it continues past his creative input (not sure how far his artistic input is left in this run) will it still be credited as Story By, or once (if) Toyotaro takes over 100% will it just be credited to him? So again, this is a litt...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread
No-one should be supporting, nevermind posting here, scanlations of material that is literally digitally distributed in your language for free at the exact midnight of its (paid, print) release in Japan.

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
I'm aware this isn't your post, so the following is not directed at you: But I've got to somewhat agree with Vorige's post that this is overthinking. I mean, politics are always on our lives, but our lives aren't always on politics. What Toriyama and his assistant did isn't really an example of pol...

What exactly is your proposed topic (beyond what little we can glean from the thread title?) What do you have to say about it yourself? What context can you share about it? Why is it important to you?

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
How about inviting people, and by people I mean podcast listeners,to share what Toriyama meant to them on a live podcast? It was done through the channel of a French youtuber and it was super therapeutic for me to even if I could not take part. That's basically what this also was, by way of the cha...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I have a lot that I'm still reflecting on, thinking about, trying to form, etc. It's going to take a while. There's so much of a direct impact and literal direction on my life that it's impossible to really put into words, I think. I haven't said much here, mostly because of that, and because I've b...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
There is absolutely no reason to be disparaging other communities or other individuals and speaking so rudely over a simple conversation that relates to the devastating passing of a creator. I understand emotions can/may be raw, but this is not the way.

There are several other more-appropriate places for this kind of discussion. One recommendation is the "All-Purpose Versus Thread" over in the "In-Universe" sub-section. Thank you!

Re: Why do the heroes shout their attack names loudy when and before attacking?
This is an extension of a kiai and relates to the importance of breathing in martial arts. It focuses the mind, spirit, power, etc. into pinpointing the attack with the most effectiveness.
