Are Power Scalers a cause or symptom of toxicity in the fandom?

A loaded question I know. But an observation I (and many others) have made is that people who put a lot of emphasis or stock in how powerful characters are, usually end up being some of the crassest, ignorant and disrespectful members of the fandom. I know most people on this forum understand that t...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

So it's really interesting seeing the difference between Kai's 1/2 and 2.9/3/3.5.

The first Kai's were just a funny little gag poking fun at the series itself with a faster and sillier type humor.

These new ones are just Kaiser's way discreet way of shitposting Dragon Ball content........I LOVE IT!

Android 17's Watch

So re-reading the Manga I noticed something I never had before: #17's Watch. The first time we see it is in Chapter 350, after 17 crushes Gero's Head. We don't see it again until Chapter 352 where we see it twice. 1st on the cover page and again when 17 claps for Vegeta. This is where it gets a bit ...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

Took a break from online stuff for a while. Saw this. SUPER SKEPTICAL! It's clear at this point FUNimation is nothing but incompetent when it comes to releasing DB. I guarantee you THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO F*** THIS UP! I have no faith in them as a company. As someone who has followed Dragon Ball for...

Re: Why was the ToP only 48 minutes?

The time limit still baffles me. Why have it if it has no relevance to the plot at all? The Tournament ended with 17 being the last man standing so the time limit was pointless in the end. Also, the 48 minute thing was SOOOO distracting all throughout and only emphasized how poorly paced this whole ...

Re: How would you write a Grand Finale arc for the franchise?

Hot Take: If the filler episode of Z where Goku shows up late to a party could've been the ending I think that would be the best ending we've gotten so far.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

This is probably the biggest one I have and I may catch some heat for this:

The franchise as a whole would be better off without people who prefer/think the English Dub of Dragon Ball is better.

Was the conflict against Babidi set up as a tournament on purpose?

During the Boo Arc, Toriyama drops the Tournament plot and switches focus to the heroes facing off against Babidi and his minions. Did he do that because he thought a tournament wouldn't make an interesting arc if there were no stakes and changed his mind or did he mean to subvert our expectations a...

Re: What would you rate DBS out of 10?

How exactly do you come to the conclusion that it is the worst by far? Well, it's all subjective but to me personally I just felt everything in Super was really subpar. I could write PAGES on why I feel this way but heres a very bare bones summary. The animation while great during certain points, I...

I think Super is the worst Dragon Ball Series by far. Subjective Anime Ratings (How Much I Enjoy It): DB: 10/10 DBZ: 10/10 DBGT: 7/10 DBKai: 8/10 DBKai Final Chapters: 7/10 DBS: 6/10 Objective Anime Ratings (My opinion on how good they actually are): DB: 8/10 DBZ: 6/10 DBGT: 6/10 DBKai: 7/10 DBKai F...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

When FUNImation decided to Dub DBKai. They should've recast EVERYONE. The talent gap between the new actors and the ones they kept is so apparent. Even today with Super it's the same. All the new talent they acquire to voice new characters deliver MUCH better performances than the "veterans&quo...

Re: Between the Funimation dub of Kai and their dub of Super, which would you say is better?

I What I say is this, don't like the dub? Don't watch it plain as day. That argument never has and never will hold any water. Art matters. Dubs matter. We have to expect more of these companies who can(and have) deliver a better product if we believe its possible as fans. Although, I don't personal...

Do Saiyan Pods freeze you for long trips?

In the original Manga it’s implied that Vegeta and Nappa Justin stayed in their pods for a whole year. Kind of raises a lot of questions about how one survives that. During the battle on Earth in the Viz translation Nappa says he’s been in “suspended animation”. Is this a Viz-ism? What does the orig...
