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...

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 ...

Re: Super DBZ question
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. This is also the guy who now must watch as the rest of the fighters get stronger and he stays weaker! He is now just like everybody else and incapable of defending...

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 ...

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...

On one hand this is interesting to see, however it is a shame in some respects as it is the Castellano version. If you are unfamiliar with Spanish and have no idea what I am talking about read below, if not don't. Here it is: In the country of Spain there are several local varieties of Spanish that ...

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 feel bad about having to mention this, and I feel that it is largely unnecessary but I will say it anyway. The way you act on other forums as a flamboyant DB fan will give not only you, but all fans a reputation good or bad. I have been to websites' message boards where a few bad apples came and h...

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...

The technique was only supposed to be used at low levels and for short bursts of speed and power. The only length of time w...
