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...

Re: Dragon Ball and Centrism disguised as "A Desire for works to stop being political"
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.

Re: Toriyama is gone... So who under his watch is the strongest
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.

Re: Dragon Ball Super is FINALLY being streamed.
I... think it would help clarify that this is about the English dub specifically, since the original Japanese version has been up and streaming since the simulcast began back in 2016 . (And this same English dub was previously available on FUNimation's own streaming service, which has since been shu...

This is a free country, and in a free country, people are free to hate the COVID vaccines, and hate the #MeToo Movement.

Re: Did Trunks' maternal grandparents (Bulma's parents) die in EOZ?
GT used to be 10 years after EoZ until DBSuper ruined time lines by making Bra younger than Pan for example. I read this and had weird deja vu that we've had this exact conversation before -- because we have . None of this is true: GT has consistently been established as five years after the end of...

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami
Toonami didn't shape my personal fandom in any way, but it certainly shaped the general fandom at the time, and it was impossible to ignore its reach and impact. As a quick recap, I got into the series with the second DBZ episode in syndication, so we're talking late September 1996 here. I started m...
