Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Fukkatsu no F"

but not only is there any indication that he ever actually met Freeza Didn't Beerus mention Freeza at the beginning of Battle of Gods? I seem to recall that it was implied that they knew each other. Well, Beerus requested Freeza to eradicate the Saiya-Jins, according to the movie, so they would hav...

Re: What Makes Freeza So Special?

I think part of it is because, up until Beerus, as far as Z is concerned, Freeza is the strongest naturally born (supposedly) arc villain. Cell was created, as was Buu. Freeza was just unnaturally powerful for a non-augmented/created fighter. He also had serious influence, and is essentially the cat...

I'm interested to see how they work the idea in to fit with Freeza, though.

Re: How popular are Dragon Ball toys in the west?

My local FYE has some merch. Not "toys" per sé, but they have a plush Chibi Trunks and Fat Buu, coffee mugs, key lanyards, t-shirts, wristbands, and keychains as well, as well as a couple hats. I actually bought one of the lanyards not too long ago. It's got a card holder and a little rubb...

I like how they dubbed Son's dialogue here. It seems pretty accurate to him being displeased of the method to obtain the form, and he sounds rightfully irritated. Good work done here.

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread

I think they could pull off a Star Trek '09 and Mortal Kombat 9 (Mortal Kombat 2011) on us with the new wish. A new villain comes up and he uses the wish to create a new world in his vision which causes a birth to a new timeline. So the old timeline is gone and we have a new one now. Maybe. But how...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread

Maybe Beerus makes the wish, and revives King Vegeta, so he can step on him again, and cause him more despair. :lol: Kidding.

It would be interesting to see who it is that is 'revived' though. So much speculation involved, I can't even begin to fathom!

First off, very excited about this news! Not to derail the topic into "Why Vegeta?" discussions, but my brief contribution, for what it's worth. Vegeta's only obstacle is his pride and his always wanting to be the strongest/best/whatever superlative you want to place. He trains because of ...

Re: FUNimation DBZ "Legacy" Video Series

That was pretty cool, though, as said, short. But, it brought back a lot of memories rushing home from school to watch DBZ on Toonami. It really did have a massive impact over here. Looking back, it was a behemoth, and although it's no longer as big a deal as it was 10-15 years ago, it's still makin...

Old DBZ shirt

I have an old DBZ shirt (as in, probably close to 20 years old, not long after it premiered in the states), and I'm just wondering if it's worth anything or rare. It's got some small holes. Picture's kinda rough quality.

ImageAnyone else seen it?

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

I believe, if FUNi is smart, they release it in enough time for the holidays. Perhaps just a little before Black Friday. That would allow for a higher chance of sales, I think. That's the prime period for Christmas/holiday shopping, so they should release it before that. EDIT: GmGoken beat me to it ...

Here's part 2. http://www.youtube.com/embed/pNDjIkmWKe0 It's basically Justin Cook and Chris Sabat talking about how awesome everybody thought DBZ was, and how they watched it, un-subbed, in Japanese on VHS. Pretty nifty.

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

Closest one for me is either Altoona, PA or Morgantown, WV. A little over an hour each way. I think I'll request a day off work and maybe make a day of it with the fiancé and daughter. I don't know when I'll get another chance to watch DBZ in theaters, and I'm not gonna let this slip away.

Closest it's playing to me is Carmike 12 in West Virginia, which is just a little over an hour away from me. If I didn't drive such a gas hog, I'd try to make it out to see it.
