The line sounds goofy but the way Sean Schemmel screams "WOOOOOOORLD!!!!" and then screams while flying through the Earth will always give me goosebumps, it saves it for me :lol:

Modern Toriyama's art continues to be awful for Dragon Ball, the way they're standing just looks... weird :lol:

Re: Article about Bardock in The Dao of Dragon Ball

The Bardock and Rambo connection had crossed my mind but I never really thought about it.

It's not too surprising considering the amount of influence DB took from other pop culture properties like the Terminator series.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Just some power level musings: Why is it such a huge debate as to whether or not Gohan was a SSJ2 against Dabra when he clearly wasn't in the manga? He has the aura of a normal SSJ throughout the whole fight with no lightning at all, Toriyama never forgot to draw that for SSJ2 characters. Also I fin...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 95 - Official Discussion Thread

Probably some of the best action I've seen from Toyo in an action focused chapter of DBS, although some of the choreography is from the movie.

It's kinda funny seeing Orange Piccolo making his grand debut in a colourless medium :lol:

Re: What do you think is the multiplier for Orange Piccolo

It's exactly "Beerus x 0.01," like any given transformation that mortals gain in Super. It's funny because I think Toriyama holds the least reverence for Beerus' power level He had Goku say Broly is probably stronger than Beerus In his original drafts for story arcs there are no powered u...

I could guess he's taking his time to elaborate better explanations for Orange Piccolo and Beast Gohan (I hope something in the sense why they didn't come up with that in ToP) I am pretty certain that's not going to happen. Did Toyo elaborate as to how Dr Hedo was able to build two Blue level andro...

Re: Toyotarou Is creatively bankrupt

Toyotarou took clear inspiration from red-eyed avenger, last of my clan anime characters like Sasuke and Kurapika to make Granolah and still managed to make an insanely boring character who got sidelined in his own arc.

The most compelling character Toyotarou has written is Merus.

Re: Anyone here wish they did a spin off series on U6

Not really no.

I find the U6 saiyans to be quite boring, I kinda like Califula personality wise but her dogshit character design ruins it for me.

This issue is kinda fixed with Kefla but we probably won't see much of her in a spin off series.

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

My biggest issue with GT isn't any of its ideas or plots. It's the execution of the fights. This is it really, at the end of the day GT doesn't have one stand out fight to its name, a fight scene that people still talk about and celebrate to this day like Goku vs Cell, Vegeta vs Recoome, SSJ2 Goku ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread

Why are people so bothered about the Super anime coming back and adapting Moro and Granolah when we know that story already.

I heard a really compelling explanation as to why Trunks' sword was so unceremoniously broken when he returned from the future to help fight the androids: As most of us know, orignally #19 and 20 were supposed to be the primary antagonists in the Android saga and were originally the two Androids tha...

Re: Does Toriyama regret the racist caricatures he included

The closest answer we'd get is if it was his idea to redesign Officer Black in Path to Power. A shame because I quite like Commander Black as an antagonist, his reaction to Commander Red wanting to wish to be taller will always be hilarious to me and he's even a half way decent martial artist.
