Re: If Dragon Ball had been released now?
Considering how poorly crafted (Naruto) and overall ridiculous (One Piece) shows are popular, yes most certainly. If something is meant to be popular or hidden, that's the way it'll be. Dragon Ball is something unique and ionic, people'll flock to it no matter when it's introduced. Of course many th...

Re: Why Does Vegeta Get away With So Many Murders into DBZ?
The reason he's shown to have gotten over it is namely because of his reaction in the Boo arc. He considered Vegeta a "friend" and showed no hard feelings, so Piccolo literally did act like the "bigger man" and got over it. Then again, he'd be a hypocrite if he really held it aga...

Re: Why Does Vegeta Get away With So Many Murders into DBZ?
If I recall correctly, Vegeta boasts about how he killed that one Namekian village, so they couldn't be wished back. I dunno if it's dub only or not, but he makes sure to include that he killed the children. None of them are antagonists, and Piccolo is quite readily as irritated as the rest of them ...

Re: Google Glass Project = DBZ Scouters
So I assume this thing doesn't scan people's battle power? There's more potential to this thing than scan someone's power level, like know their history/past/crimes/health/name/address/etc. Knowing the names..

Re: Do the die-hards really hate GT?
The artwork looks plastic, it's worse than the Boo arc look. I didn't mind the way the character's looked in the Boo arc, some characters looked really cool, like Dabra. However, the super angular Plasticine look is just disgusting in GT. The plot is eccentrically boring all around, the first part b...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Orange Bricks - UK Boxes Art
I think they're just placeholders... no way are the first 2 seasons 12, but the rest of the show PG. Plus, the last couple of boxes aren't out until 2013, so there's no way they have all the ratings done already... Yeah, PG rating for Freeza's arc doesn't go well, I mean, Freeza impailing Kuririn w...

Re: If the manga had more pages per chapter...
And while I can't stand the anime's pacing for Bleach (so much padding/recapping the previous episode) I like the pacing for the manga just fine. That's my main issue for when I tried to watch both Naruto and Bleach's cartoon adaptions (well, and the comic for Naruto too). However the comic's (Blea...

Re: If the manga had more pages per chapter...
I don't really know many Bleach fans, but the ones that I do know, had pretty much the opposite opinions about the pacing and animation, which I'm inclined to follow in agreement based on the amount I've seen.

Re: Dragonball Z: Saiyan Saga - Help make this happen!
I don't like the special effects, but they're using trained martial artists, so at least the fights'll be interesting.

Re: If the manga had more pages per chapter...
Not really. Bleach does 20 pages a chapter and that didn't stop its TV adaptation from trying to squeeze twenty-two minutes out of two chapters for the majority of its run. But then, one Dragon Ball chapter usually has a lot more going on in it than Bleach anyway. I like Bleach's pacing though. Nev...

Actually Dabra's "over" 4,000 kiri, just like Goku's Saiyan arc battle power is over 8,000! Though I'm not exactly sure how the 4,000 doesn't fit in line with the manga? If anything comes off as contradictory, it's the whole, "200-300 could destroy the planet stuff" about kiri, ...

Re: FUNimation's Dragon Boxes have indeed been discontinued
Yeah, otherwise the system would get heavily abused. Imagine paying $1,000 for something, only for another seller to list it for $1. You'd pretty much get a free $999.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
I'm just proposing the possibility, since the internal question here is what if the Kaio-ken could boost him to that level? Because face it, do we really know how many times stronger Gohan is than SSJ3 Goku? No, so it could be that x20 Cell is around his level, or not. If so, great, we can assume >=...

Re: Could Other World united been able to handle Kid Buu?
What makes you think Boo is smart enough to see through all their muses? He is pretty much an idiot after all. Just wave a chocolate bar in his face and boom, he's a carrot.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
SSJ3 is 4 times above SSJ2, so we can logically say that Goku is 4 times stronger than SSJ2 Gohan + X equaling the battle power increase in his base form from the seven years. We know SSJ Goku's kiri level is 3,000, whereas Dabra's is 4,000. We know Dabra is as strong as "Perfect Cell" in ...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Goku managed it fairly well against Freeza, so I don't see why someone like Cell wouldn't be able to. That's also not to say Cell wouldn't be able to go beyond x20, theoretically of course.

Re: Tired of All Saiyans Going SSJ3 & SSJ4?
I'm not tired of it, seeing that in the manga and anime, only Goku and Gotenks are SSJ3, so two ain't bad. I couldn't care any less about the rest of the mediums.
