Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I really like Sumitomo's Kai TFC score, and consider it a breath of fresh air after the limited Kikuchi score in the previous Kai arcs.

I like it to the point that I was excited to hear several of the tracks return later on in Super.

Re: Crunchyroll to stream Dragon Ball Z movies & Super Broly in North & Latin America, Oceania, UK, Ireland, Africa & Eu

It's nice too see the old Z movies being streamed here. It's a shame it's sub only, but it's a step in the right direction. I wonder which master they'll use. The double features seem most likely, although they have an issue with the Japanese audio quality sounding dreadful for several of the later ...

Re: The one main quality and the one main flaw for every movie

Dead Zone: Great pacing. Can't think of any major flaw. World's Strongest: Awesome fight scenes. Drags in places. Tree of Might: It's awesome seeing all the Z Fighters team up. Some of their fights feel too brief through. Lord Slug: Really good final fight. Slug is a bit too obvious of a rehash of P...

Re: Let's be real. Future Trunks is wasted potential

To be fair he did defeat the Androids and Cell in his timeline in the end. He got the happy ending he deserved until DBS did him dirty and screwed it up. That was pretty cool, I admit but to me the damage was already done. It would have been so much cooler if he kept using the sword. Maybe infuse i...

Re: What was the worst era of DB video games?

I agree the PS3/360 era was really weak compared to the PS2 era. Technically they overlapped, as Burst Limit came our before Infinite World. I actually prefer the latter to the former, although Burst Limit wasn't bad. I had fun with Raging Blast 1 despite it being a watered down BT3, as it did enoug...

Re: Ideal English Goku Voice?

Both Sean Schemmel and Ian Corlett are great. I prefer Sean by a little bit just because his screams are better, and he had more time to grow into the role and develop the different sides of the character. Corlett deserves credit though for being great from day 1, and establishing what Goku would so...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I've always enjoyed the Buu saga, particularly the middle portion. Super Buu was terrifying when he showed up at the Lookout. It was the ultimate shit hitting the fan moment. The Gotenks vs Super Buu fight managed to be both tense and hilarious at the same time. Super Buu was the most evil and unpre...

Re: Is there a quote in DB can match "I liked it" from BB?

The closest I can think of is Goku letting Vegeta go, and saying "I know it's wrong, but grant me this selfish request" or something to that affect. The big difference between Goku and Walter is Goku was never in denial about his intentions. He knew his bad choices were for him all along, ...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

It’s never been stated that Kaio wouldn’t be able to intervene against the artificial humans. As far as I recall, the only deities in Dragon Ball that it’s been stated aren’t allowed to intervene are the angels, and even Whis technically breaks that when he undoes Earth’s destruction. As for him no...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

Too many people assume that Goku and the others decided to live on North Kai's planet afterwards. I doubt they went there to live on after death. If they do visit sometimes, Goku would know that Trunks is still alive and believes that he would be the one to save the day. After all, he did the same ...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

The idea that King Kai wouldn't bother lifting a finger is also bothersome. He clearly cared about the fate of the Earth during the Saiyan invasion, and went out of his way to help the gang reach Namek, and also played a key role in saving everyone before Namek exploded. I just find it hard to beli...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

Future goku was bodyless in heaven. And kaio is on his planet. It's specifically said that he got his body for saving earth from cell. Otherwise you need Kamis intervention. And goku died long before him. Most likely Babas place was destroyed and Baba was killed. If not straight away perhaps by the...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

I always found it strange how the Androids' reign of terror lasted for 17 years. Like after all that time there's still cities standing and people alive. Meanwhile Buu wipes out most of the population in a couple of days. Buu was a threat to the entire universe and was known to wipe out several hun...

Re: Frieza, Cell and Buu Saga: which one has the LESS iconic moments?

As nobody else has mentioned it, I think the Saiyan arc is also very iconic for the following reasons; -The introduction of Raditz and the revelation Goku is an alien. -Special Beam Cannon/Makankosappo scene -Gohan's training/bonding with Piccolo -Goku's training with King Kai -Earth's greatest warr...

Re: Frieza, Cell and Buu Saga: which one has the LESS iconic moments?

I'll say the Cell saga was the least iconic. It probably had just as many big moments, but they feel less significant to me on average. Frieza: -Goku's arrival on the battlefield against the Ginyu Force and again with Frieza. -Frieza's multiple transformations being so iconic that they're a meme. -V...

Overall I like Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat more in the roles, as they've had much longer to grow into them and grasp the characters, but I still love the earlier stuff the Ocean cast did. Ian Corlett was great from day 1. His delivery was incredibly natural, and he fit the heroic take on Goku perf...

Re: About how characters train in DBS

I have to agree with the OP. Training has become superficial in Super. Anyone can become as strong as they need to be at the drop of a hat. There were moments in DB/Z were characters got cheap powerups, but it was more the exception than the rule. You had stuff like Goku nearly killing himself on th...
