ChiChi's the perfect example why I've come to hate the anime, and become something of a manga purist.

Basically everyhting Son ChiChi have said is true, and then you add the dub factor...urgh!

Super Sonic Warriors. I'm bored with the Budokai series, even with all the things I've been hearing about Budokai 3, I'm just not really all that bothered about it. Super Sonic Warriors on the other hand, well, that just seems gold to me. From what I've heard/read, it seems to be a cross of my two f...

Why did Mirai Vegeta stay around?

I’m of course referring to Vegeta from Mirai Trunks’ timeline who eventually got killed in the initial battle with the Androids, it’s one of those things that I’ve never understood, I mean we know why the present Vegeta stayed (Goku, Androids, training to be a SSJ etc.) although I do have a few theo...

Is he the Ocean Gohan? I do like his voice, and it does sound a lot like Morrow's Goku (which makes sense from the Japanese voices POV). FUNi's Gohan is Damon Clarke, isn't it? And everyone seems to love him too. How comes adult Gohan gets all the good voices? Yeah, Brad Swalie is Ocean's Gohan (my...

In the end, no, I wouldn't shorten the sereis (for some of it's flaws, the Buu saga was still awesome) and it's not about being lazy. It's just that the endng we got was so dissapointing and anti-climatic and that finishing at an earlier point of the series would have wrapped up the whole stroy a wh...

I actually believe Brad Swalie's Gohan is the closest Japanese counterpart, without getting a Michael Jackson-esque voice to do the part.

Still, ideally, I'd pick the Freeza ending, but I'd also settle for Cell. Same here, Freeza would've been the perfect ending, but I would have accepted the Cell saga too. Unlike most people, I didn't like the Cell saga much. It was... bland. Trunks was bland. Cell was bland. Most of the characters ...

Would you swap it all for your perfect ending?

Toriyama has said that in the end, he wasn’t satisfied with the DB manga. What exactly he was unsatisfied with is unknown. It could be one or a number of things such as the direction the manga ended up going, the way he finished it, not being able to do things the way he wanted to do them (i.e. havi...

Yeah, pretty much what Ash said, just a button-mashing game that captures the true essence a DBZ battle. Great fun, if extreamly repetitive. It was the first DBZ game I played, and I stll regard it as one of the the best (along with Hyper Diemension), although if Super Sonic Warriors is what I expec...

Does anyone know what the eyecatchers were on the two TV Specials?

I’d heard Toei had made one’s especially made for them, one’s which were never used for the TV series and on the Funi DVD’s I’ve got of them, they’re not on there.

Of course, it was an usually small increase compared to what we saw during the Saiya-jin and Freeza Sagas -- but for all we know, the near-death power increase was insignificant even during the Cell Saga. I think this is pretty much it. Did Vegeta receive a near-death power increase after getting h...

UB22 is as much as a bog standard beat-em-up you can get, but being a DBZ fan, you should get at least some enjoyment out of it. Final Bout is just plain awful, although the opening is actually very good (music and animation-wise), not as breathtaking as Budokai 2’s opening, but it’s still sweet. Mu...

Trunks will be fine, though I suspect he'll be extremly protective of his mother and the Earth in general. Although I do suspect there will be a part of him that will miss the thrill of constant battle. I mean unlike any other half breed Saiyan, he was born into war (well, more or less), he's never ...

Didn't Videl call Gohan "Son-Kun" as well? I don't think Videl looks down at Gohan or does she? I actually think in Gohan and Videl's case, it's similar to Goku and Bulma, but to a much lesser extent. I mean, while Videl is the daughter of Mr Satan, perhaps one of the richist in world and...

Misconceptions

At the time of Mirai Trunks' first arrival and when Goku finally returned to Earth after the battle on Namek, it is generally belived that Goku is the most powerful of the 2. This seemed to be based on the fact that Gohan thought that Trunks was Goku when he transformed into a SSJ in front of Freeza...

Have to go with the ol' Kamehameha.

It especially kicked ass when Goku used it on Cell with the Instantanious Movement technique during the Cell Games.

Gohan's 1 handed Kamehameha was awesome too.
