I usually recommend "production order" for someone's first time through the franchise. After wrapping up the original story (and attached movies) , I hold it's best to segue directly into GT. Because despite whatever quibbles one may have about how "cAnOn" it is, GT was part of t...

I would definitely prioritize a good, faithfully-translated script. The bulk of the English dubs that already exist show that people will still watch no matter how amateurish and lousy the voice acting is. But at least with an accurate script, they would still get the actual story and not be functio...

"Pure evil" would be a pretty big stretch. I mean they're not pre-programmed for genocide like Cell, or force-of-nature avatars of bloodshed and destruction like Majin Boo. They just have a natural drive for combat, which makes it very easy for them to slide into evil territory to scratch ...

We don't need bizarre and pointless argument-tangent weirdness threads stemming from other topics, please and thank you.

I agree, both instances feel like ham-fisted attempts to say "we've only just met Beerus but he's actually been a big deal all along." Very unnecessary. But mainly because his involvement is too direct in both cases. I think it'd be better if Beerus was instead only tangentially connected ...

Feeling extremely gratified that they're basing this DLC on the original, actually-good Z version of Bardock, instead of his watered-down putz of a "cAnOn" incarnation from Minus and Super. Or it's at least mostly based on the TV special, anyway... I wouldn't be surprised if Gine is includ...

So we have contradictory statements? Not necessarily. Like I said, training just for strength and losing your knack for real fights aren't mutually exclusive. We've seen characters before who are VERY strong but are lacking in actual battle skills. Like Zarbon and Dodoria, for example. In strength ...

Assuming that's true, it would be a bit weird considering it was Toei that first started treating Ultimate as a transformation in Movie 13. Makes one wonder why they would "go back to" treat it as a permanent state just a couple of years later. Taking a quick glance at the premiere dates....

Gotta remember that the Battle of Gods movie originally had Gohan only using regular Super Saiyan, and not Ultimate. As seen in the trailer footage versus the final movie , his hair and aura were obviously just recolored at some very late point in production. Which accounts for the apparent "Go...

It's kind of funny how the "base Goku is still weaker than Freeza" revelation meshes perfectly fine with the original manga version of the Majin Boo arc, but not the anime adaptation and its "Goku is always strongest" logic that the Battle of Gods movie and Super actually seem to...

If you unironically like garbage like TFS let alone think it's better than the actual series then you're not even a real fan. Let's NOT have needlessly inflammatory comments like this, okay? Despite my personal agreement with some of your comments about Super and other new material itself being pho...

Good and even great live-action anime movies are certainly possible, and there's nothing about Dragon Ball that makes it somehow incompatible or unsuited for adaptation. Hell, it's based on old kung-fu movies to begin with. So the right template and style has already been there for decades, and mod...

I like the Full-Color edition as a fun novelty (still need to get around to collecting the English Freeza-arc volumes) , but I prefer the original mostly black-and-white version. I eagerly await the day when Viz finally gives the series its due with a fancy new hardcover release that contains ALL th...

Just imagine... Geran getting a whole second character trait!

Impossible. Only other gods are allowed to be stronger than Beerus. Any time a mortal gets close, or starts receiving even vague "maybe" comparisons to Beerus, he just instantly gets 1,000x stronger to maintain his lead indefinitely. Goku and Vegeta alone would have eclipsed him 10 times o...

I believe the idea of Future Gohan lagging behind Goku comes from a line in the Trunks Special where Gohan says the reason he wears Goku's Kame-school colors is because he hopes to become as strong as him someday. But I can't remember if that's a real line or just a dub-ism. But that doesn't necessa...

But the point of God was to have those changes. The point of Blue is to be "Super Saiyan with the power of God", so matching Super Saiyan in design makes its own sense. And doing that while also keeping some of Super Saiyan God's unique traits would make even more sense. On top of the col...

Does it really need to be clarified that saying "this DESIGN is lazy" is NOT saying or even implying that "drawing/animating is not a difficult job?" When I say the former about something like SS Blue (and I stand by it) , I'm not talking about the effort level involved in the ph...

Simplistic designs are generally good, yes. But there's a line where "simplistic" crosses over into being just plain lazy , and much of what we've seen in Super has enthusiastically pole-vaulted over that line. Super Saiyan God? That's a good and "simplistic" form design. It has...

Since this looks to predominantly be speculative stuff about possible power levels just as much as about actual officially-established numbers, then it goes in in the fan-made power levels thread in the FanWorks section. Will merge it there momentarily... Also, just for the record, Kaioshin being 53...
