Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Canon is whatever you want it to be. My personal canon is the DB manga -> BoG/RoF -> rest of the Super anime -> Broly movie -> Moro/Granolah -> Super Hero -> current manga. I consider GT to be an alt universe. There are also a lot of different continuity nitpicks you can make your own canon over, li...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Even when Toriyama wasn't as hands on (Super TV-only arcs, GT) he still designed the characters. Things are going to be different visually from now on probably.

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

It's very weird to think of how Dragon Ball will continue without Toriyama because even when Toriyama was not involved with the story of Dragon Ball he still did the character designs. So stuff like GT at least has his visual design DNA in it. I have a feeling that once we go past the stuff Toriyama...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

If I were to have ever met Toriyama, I would say "Thank you for creating a world I've loved for 20 years." I wish the best for his family. Eiichiro Oda gave a very touching message about Toriyama and basically credits Dragon Ball for making manga a respected art medium: https://x.com/sandm...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Awesome trailer! I'm very excited for the game. Framerate seems good so far too. People who want a big roster have something to rejoice over here too, Tenkaichi 3 had 150 characters including transformations, lets see where BT4 is currently at. Confirmed chars/forms are bolded and then I've included...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I doubt that Daima will be released in a single day, but I do hope that it is. It would be really interesting to see a Toei Animation series released in that way, especially for people who follow credits. I really dont like this idea. Anime builds hype via traditional weekly pacing, even if streame...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

It being small instead of baby would explain why Goku can't fly/fight normally anymore, since 4 year old Pan can fly laps around the entire planet.

We might be putting more thought into it than Toriyama did though LOL

Re: Daima de-aging - real reason: seiyu change.

This is possible, Goku didn't talk in the trailer.

It's also possible that they just keep Nozawa for this entire new series.

How do you guys feel about the theory that this is more of a fun little spinoff than an actual continuation of Dragon Ball? (eg. Naruto Rock Lee series or Attack on Titan high school)

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

The lamest thing to come out of modern Dragon Ball is the Trunks/Mai pairing. He is a child and she is in her 50s at least. It's pedophilia played for comic relief.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Wouldn't surprise me if they took this route in order to recast the main cast. Notice how this is one of the few DB trailers in which we don't hear Goku speak. Having younger, "new" versions could be a way for fans to adjust to the changes. Besides, Nozawa can't really do young Goku's voi...

Re: Chi Chi and Goku should have gotten a divorce a long time ago

I don't think ChiChi is itching to do anything like that.

Case in point, Goku chose to stay dead for 7 years after Cell was defeated. He straight up left her. And did she remarry? Nope.

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

The way I see it, if 100% full power Super Perfect Cell cannot beat a weakened and injured SSJ2 Gohan, he is significantly weaker than Gohan.

Cell's zenkai boost took him from being paper mache for Gohan to rip to shreds, up to a worthy opponent that just falls a bit short.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Well as far as gauging canonicity goes, this is what I noticed, No kibitokai = Takes place after Resurrection F No Uub or blue gi Goku means it is probably before EoZ. That's pretty much all we have to go off as far as I can tell. We'll see what happens when it comes out. It might not even be canon ...

Re: Another live action thread (yes, I know)

I think you HAVE to adapt the original Dragon Ball first or audiences might think it's too weird/looks bad. One Piece gets away with its wacky anime character designs/hairstyles/powers cause it's a somewhat lighthearted show, so the anime aspects seem campy instead of cringe. I think something like ...

Re: Super Hero (and Netflix's One Piece) is proof it's time for a live-action DB movie franchise

I still think a DBZ adaptation would most likely look goofy or bad. All the auras and glowing hair. One Piece gets away with its wacky and campy visuals because the tone is a lot more light-hearted and fun. However, the original Dragon Ball could totally work. Gotta remove some of the questionable c...

Re: I realized a horrible thing. If Toriyama dies or retires Dragon Ball AF will be a thing

That's not necessarily true. Super is a thing is because Toriyama brought the franchise back with Battle of Gods. If he dies, they might just stop making new Dragon Ball outside of an occasional movie or something. Dragon Ball went away for 16 years, it could go away again.
