Strangeness within the Japanese DBZ

I may or may not be a loser for bringing this up, but I will leave that up to you. I noticed that there is a distict way of knowing who is voiced by a female voice actor without knowing ahead of time. The female Japanese use the subject particle wa, while men use the particle yo or zo. There is also...

I guess the only reason this sells is because people want to see the original Japanese manga that spawned the anime. If one can read Japanese kana and kanji, one can follow the anime with the manga to compare for filler.

The Japanese track is second to none as far as that goes. There is no reason to assume that the uncut versions of DB and DBZ are any less uncut than the version the Japanese kids saw. The audio is still in mono and not stereo or DD format, but who cares? It's nastalgic in a way and is a nice way of ...

Some of the pics here are interesting and some are just not good at all. I wish luck to anyone who wants to try to determine who did it. You can't do it due to the fact that most animated shows will have some flaws in them.

This is for the US version, bee tee doubleyou. (Why drop the scratch on the import when my birthday is creeping around the corner...) What the hell does the "change my name" wish do, other than changing my name to Kanji? And if I'm using Goku, why doesn't the Kanji at least say SON GOKU i...

I have to say Yamucha. How can he sleep at night with the idea that someone else is with his ex? Rewind that, his KILLER is with his ex.

Babidi can communicate with the entire planet by talking into their minds. First thing is, you need to expand your responses. It's in the rules that one line posts are a no no here. Secondly, Babidi is a majin or a magic user (which is called a warlock in the manga) which isn't remotely comparable ...

It is important to remember that the so called divine characters in DB are special cases and are not represenative of all. The powers of ki are all powers that even the human characters can use. The idea is that it is a means of expressing a very real energy in fighting. One notable exeption is the ...

He probably said that to imply that the names of both Kami and Piccolo were made null and void when they fused into one being. It would stand to reason to call the refused being Kami due to Piccolo being only the evil part of kami-sama. is it clear now?

My guess is that the body makeup of Namekians is different than humans in more ways that just looks. Like having more than one body fluid for example. If we look at it it seems that there is the green mucus slime that acompanies regeneration, red oxygenated blood, and then perhaps a carbon dioxide l...

Doragonboru Zetta?

I was watching DBZ int he original Japanese soundtrack and I noticed somthing in the Head Cha La song. Near the end of the song they give the name of the series as it's katakana title is pronounced. It says "doragonboru zetta" which is surprising because the Spanish name for the letter Z i...

I guess more about my favorite filler character, Bardock. I think that he got the small end of the stick on the whole TV special thing, dying and all. In my filler movie he has been restored to life by the Dragonballs and really gets to see all the time he has missed. He uses the Time Room in Kami's...

I believe the line was actually: "I-I-I D-D-D-D-ON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
In my dub he screams out "NOOO COMPREEENDO...ESSTOY PERFECTO TODOPODEROSO" or somthing like that. It also is awesome that Goku's voice is done, with the pitch not too high or too low.

Spanish dub DBZ with good Dolby Digital output sounds good for everybody all around the board. If there is an English and a Japanese track with at least STEREO output, I'll be happy. On a second note, I have preordered the Saiyan saga DVD and I will get it tommorow.

It does not surprise me in the lightest that a word would be censored. In Mexico, one cannot say chichi on daytime TV. It is a mexican slang word for the more common Spanish tetas or tits. It is a swear word of a strong nature hence the status. It's not the only one out there even...worse words exis...
