Re: Will VIZ ever retranslate the manga?

It's definitely time, in my opinion. Do you all think they ever will? Even if they fix minor things it'd be okay with me. The whole 'Vegeta killed Gohan' in the Saiyan Saga, Vegerot, Djin Boo, Her-cule are my only real gripes. Even then they're minor annoyances Yeah, that would be fine, too. There ...

Will VIZ ever retranslate the manga?

It's definitely time, in my opinion. Do you all think they ever will?

EDIT: I don't necessarily mean a COMPLETE retranslation of the entire series. I would even be happy with certain portions being retranslated and touched up.

Re: Thoughts on Kid Buu

I think Pure Boo was definitely a suitable final villain. He was pretty much the first villain of the series to actually be an animal rather than a being with the ability to think rationally. There was absolutely no reasoning with it, and it only had one instinct: to destroy.

Re: Is Videl Vs. Spopovitch one of the most brutal fights?

It's a brutal waste of potential. Here we're shown some pretty dramatic images, yet neither Gohan or Videl give any payback to Soppovich (or even Babidi). This whole scene is gratuitous violence for the sake of gratuitous violence. It could be completely removed and nothing would be lost from the s...

Re: Is Videl Vs. Spopovitch one of the most brutal fights?

But you can't say that she's on the same level as many of the main characters. She's definitely stronger than your average person, but she's no Gokū, Gohan, or Piccolo. I would probably say (and I might be totally wrong on this) that she's somewhere between Mr. Satan and Yamcha in terms of strength...

Re: Is Videl Vs. Spopovitch one of the most brutal fights?

That, plus the fact that she's an ordinary person. If it had been a female Saiyan, or someone who was on par with some of the main characters, nobody would be as bothered by it. I don't think it's as much a male vs. female thing as it is a super strong person vs. ordinary person thing. It's a combi...

A brand new, in-depth Dragon Ball RPG that follows the Dragon Ball Online timeline for consoles; A sequel to Attack of the Saiyans; A sequel to Advanced Adventure. :(

I don't agree with the argument that she's a "normal person." She's not. But you can't say that she's on the same level as many of the main characters. She's definitely stronger than your average person, but she's no Gokū, Gohan, or Piccolo. I would probably say (and I might be totally wr...

Re: Is Videl Vs. Spopovitch one of the most brutal fights?

It's just because she's a girl. Our bias makes it look more brutal because we instinctively associate girl/women with being more helpless (physically) and being more peaceful (physically). If it was Yamcha instead of Videl, or even a random male fighter, it would be exactly the same but nobody woul...

Re: Would you like Future Trunks to return in DBS?

Not really. Trunks had a clear purpose: save our timeline, hoping to find a way to save his own, which he did. There's no reason for him to return. By that logic, Bulma shouldn't return to the story after the first story arc. Bulma's goal was to find the Dragon Balls and wish for a boyfriend, and s...

Re: What is the best version of the manga?

I'd say pick up the Full Color. You can experience the manga in a different way and the paper quality is great from what I heard. Viz's translation doesn't change from one release to another. It's a shame that Viz still hasn't released anything beyond the Saiyan arc and there's nothing from part 1....

I've never really given this much thought, but Kai would have been so, so much better if Tokunaga had done the music. His music was by far the best thing about GT.

Re: What is the best version of the manga?

You're obviously looking for an English release, but the best way to read the series would be the Japanese Kanzenban. As far as English releases go though, maybe the VizBigs? I think they're censored in certain areas, though... I definitely wouldn't recommend the 3-in-1s. From what I hear the paper ...

There isn't a doubt in my mind that they will/have renew(ed) it. Unless something crazy happens, FUNimation will have the rights to Dragon Ball for years to come.
