Re: Do you consider Goku a Hero?

Toriyama Goku is a hero, just not a superhero. For me, Toriyama Goku doesn't fit the mold of a superhero because that would imply that he's motivated by and prioritizes doing good and saving people- which is not stuff Toriyama Goku is motivated by or prioritizes. He is a hero in the literal sense as...

Re: If Dragon Ball goes beyond EOZ what would you like to see

Without Toriyama, though, I'd just like to see some connective tissue added to stuff he's already done beyond EOZ, like Neko Majin and GT('s character designs). Show how Z came to train under Goku alongside Oob. Show Freeza becoming a father. Show why Vegeta is working for Freeza again. Show Vegeta...

Dragon Ball isn't a high school/slice of life anime, but gag-filled superhero hijinks is in-line with the kind of comedy-driven material we got in Pre-Z Dragon Ball.

Re: If Dragon Ball goes beyond EOZ what would you like to see

Nothing in particular. At this point, I think having any expectations for new Dragon Ball stuff is just setting yourself up for disappointment. A "let's wait and see what we get" approach feels better than hyping yourself up for stuff that has no guarantee (and for some of these ideas, lit...

Re: How Eguchi Hisashi's Manga About a Trans Girl Nearly Ended "Dr. Slump" Early

While there is some... very out-dated elements to Stop!! Hibari-kun! I am fascinated by the notion that not only did the massively successful Dr. Slump nearly fall to a comic about a cute trans girl wrapping everyone about her finger, but that if it hadn't ended serialization so soon we might have ...

I'm not going to respond to your last response to me from that thread since everyone else has thoroughly said what I would have said in some form (and in some cases repeated what I and others already said).

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

Your still missing my point Adamant said if Funimation renamed Dragon Ball would dub fans still be fans of Dragon Ball and he thinks probably not. I understand what he was saying but I still think it's wrong to entertain the idea someone is not a fan of a property. Equally you might say if someone ...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

So its not "Funimation's Dragon Ball" vs "TOEI's Dragon Ball" its just "Dragon Ball", which I think obfuscates the notion it was one company's Dragon Ball vs another company's Dragon Ball too much because its so open to interpretation. Both are "Dragon Ball" ...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

In fact I don't think we should deem anyone unworthy of respect whatsoever He didn't say "they like a heavily altered version of the show so they don't deserve respect" though. The argument is that those fans are simply fans of Funimation's version of the show. If they don't like the sour...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Yea…good times lol I would say the main difference is that Vegeta had an identifiable character arc where he had to atone for his sins and learn to make peace with his life on Earth. Which is why his speech at the end of the Buu arc is often cited as being one of the best moments in the series. I'm...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

He actually did a much better job of it with Vegeta, a guy who was self interested/evil and only fought bad guys because his goals just happened to align with the heroes. Yet a lot of fans still found Vegeta extremely relatable in spite of the fact that he was a complete wild card who would often e...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The idea that Goku adopted a non-killing policy at any point is fandom head canon that people use circumstantial evidence to support, evidence that doesn't hold up to scrutiny as Masenko pointed out. Personally, I think "sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't" works just fine as an exp...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

The PR is already spinning it out that he's sorry and willing to atone for his mistakes. If he's genuinely sorry and willing to atone then he should have no issue with facing the consequences of his actions. But I doubt that's genuine. It comes off more like "I said I'm sorry and willing to at...

That will just be Search for the Black Star DBs part two and that arc was awful, among many reasons, because it lacked tension. Like so much of GT- It was a good idea they executed badly.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

At this stage in the game I doubt they can nerf the characters enough to make it be as much of an adventure even with the deaging. At minimum, all they need to do to make it feel like an adventure is to make sure the action isn't taking place in just one location or just one type of location. IE- D...
