I hate that, why would they make a movie about third arc of super. I am so done with retellings at this point.
What movie?

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion

I hate to rain on anybody's parade, but he's clearly talking about the third arc of Dragon Ball Super in context. Maybe the Spanish subtitles say otherwise (haven't studied it since high school), but he doesn't mention anything about a new movie.

Re: DBZ Cosplays & Clothing, where do you stand?

Something I noticed years ago was how we occasionally see characters wearing a sort of zoot pants. I know they came back into style during the 80s in America, parts of Western Eruope and Japan, but I didn't think it would extend into Dragon Ball. We see Vegeta wearing them here: http://puu.sh/j5kwk...

They are quite similar.
Similar perhaps in that it would be common courtesy in a group of male friends, but it's not terribly similar otherwise.

Re: Differences between san and kun?

"-kun" (くん) is generally for someone about your own age or younger than you that you are intimately (note: not necessarily sexual) familiar with. Bulma has known Goku since he was just a kid (as was she), and he's a little bit younger than her, so he'll always just be "Son-kun" ...

Re: General Red's Irish accent in the dub

It was the red hair, probably.

For what it's worth, the accent was at times more Scottish(-ish), and at times more Irish(-ish), although it wasn't really a good approximation of either.

Re: Romanizations in the manga/Super

There's a teeny-tiny banner held by a fan at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai where Videl's name is spelled "BEEDEL". This is, to my knowledge, the only time her name is romanized in the manga proper.

Re: For those who know Japanese: Where and how did you learn

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors

In the same vein as Kanzenshuu using alternate title pages for chapters 12 , 13 , 18 , 19 , and 44 , would it be appropriate to describe the title pages used in the tankobon for chapters 65 and 165 as the "definitive version" in so many words? They are exactly the same after all, just wit...
