Was Cold mentioned as being stronger then Freeza in the Daizenshuu? The 7th Daizenshû actually says the opposite is true: "宇宙最強の一族の長だが、フリーザにはやや劣る。" Darn, beat me to it. Anyway, for those who don't know Japanese, this roughly translates out to: "While [Cold] is the head of the univers...

Sorry! Misread that, no coffee when I was replying earlier. Though, I'm a bit confused. You're saying you've never seen "Saikyo no Gohan" in any Japanese source...but then cite the Daizenshuu? O_o; -Corey The Daizenshuu refer to him as "Saikyou no Senshi ". I'm wondering in any ...

Yes, he was definitely Ultimate Gohan in Meteor, and I think Neo, too (and possibly even further back than that). http://dbzs.jp/meteor/p_characters/10_ultimate_gohan.html Sorry, I should have been clearer.

He sounds drunk in the Cell Games clip, but in the Trunks one he sounds...I don't know how you'd describe it. Maybe high.

Okay, I just played through the parts with Cell in the storyline, and there is NO WAY that that is Norio Wakamoto, his original voice actor, but someone who can sound a lot like him but sucks at voice acting. At least this is what I'm hoping. His dialogue in the fights against Vegeta and Trunks and...

Hey, thanks sailorspazz! You saved me some trouble. Since that’s taken care of, I think that while I’m home for Thanksgiving I’ll just look through my Daizenshuu for any more interesting tidbits that I don’t think are widely known and post them here. I’ve already got a few in mind… Incidentally, I h...

Also, the official (Japanese) Sparking Meteor site lists him as "Ultimate Gohan". I'd say that's a fair title for him in any case since the only other official Japanese name I can think of his translates to "The Mightiest (or Strongest) Gohan" which really carries the same meani...

And there's these three blurbs in the dbox book, but I can't read them :P The first one just describes him, saying that he is the boss of the other demons, flys through the air on balls of fire, and fights with Goku when Goku's riding his kintoun. The second one is basically just a summary of the m...

Unfortunately, I don't have my Daizenshuu in my dorm, and home is a six hour drive, so I can't really investigate this any further. Maybe at Thanksgiving... I could make a scan the next time I visit home, although I'm not sure how convincing people would find it ("I can't read that! It could s...

It’s interesting to note that nobody mentions anything about a transformation in any of this. How many people would've seen the Super Saiyan and lived to tell about it? I guess that's a good point, and that would explain why there's not much specific information on the Super Saiyan. Although that n...

Nappa first mentions the term when he and Vegeta take off for Earth, but he doesn’t say what it is. Freeza vaguely mentions that it would be very inconvenient if one of the few remaining Saiyans were to become a Super Saiyan. He doesn’t offer any details either. In his inner monologue during Goku’s ...

Ok, so after looking around a little I found some more stuff on ‘zenkai’. This is the kanji for ‘zenkai’, meaning a complete recovery of health: 全快 And this is ‘zenkai-suru’, the verb form of the above: 全快する Now, there is another meaning for ‘zenkai’ in Japanese (well, actually I managed to find fiv...

But then that means there's really nothing incorrect about saying "Zenkai powerup"? Mind you, my knowledge of Japanese is limited to what I've been told by others with actual knowledge so I might be off here. If I am, anyone who has a working knowledge of the language, feel free to correc...

Nowhere. Just pointing it all out :). Oh, alright then.

They made it perfectly clear throughout that he was a deity, but not necessarily the kind...

Yes, that's the way it was brought up in Dragonball Z , however if you look closer Mike, you would notice that both my previous post and Herms' one were talking about the original Dragonball, after the defeat of Piccolo Daimao. Still, the quote he provided did show that Kami was given a (reasonably...

In simple truth you know what the ideal solution to this issue would be? To just cut the bullshit and just have the English actors yell the untranslated Japanese names. You really could just replace any of your posts with this and just change the nouns. Hell, just type "NIPPONNIPPONNIPPON http...

Re: reply

The source of people saying "The Daiz says he was ssj1" happens to be a rumor (and I am now convinced it may be a very false rumor indeed), that the Character Bios featured in Sparking Meteor / Tenkaichi 2, were taken from the Daizenshuu. Well, the character profiles in the Sparking! seri...

Is that so? And here I was always told that "The Daizenshuu states that Son Gohan was SSJ1 vs Dabura." Just goes to show just how wrong "widely acepted information" on the internet can be at times. I was told that the character bios featured in Tenkaichi 2 were straight from the...
