Re: "Serious Goku" Comments on DB Youtube Clips

In Dragon Ball Z Goku wasn't known for these things: Dropping his guard so down that he can't react Underestimating his enemies Getting annoyed for making smart decision, that has no consequence Getting annoyed for training without Goku Annoying a master so much, that the master wanted to refuse to...

Re: "Serious Goku" Comments on DB Youtube Clips

I don't understand those comments, there were only a couple of times in Z when Goku got really serious.

Re: Is it possible for fusions to fuse?

Namekians can fuse fusions, so I don't see why Gogeta and Gotenks wouldn't be able to fuse.

Re: Other series like DBZ Kai?

There are lots of fan made versions like this, like One Pace for One Piece, Naruto Kai, and there's one for Bleach but I forget what it's called. Dragon Ball also has multiple fan edits including one for the original series.

(The Dragon Ball fan edit is called Dragon Ball Recut)

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies

I don't want to derail this thread and turn it into a debate about Naruto, if you want examples of Naruto being naive and reckless, just google it, there's plenty of discussions about it out there.

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies

Goku has always been naive, but it does seem they've played it up a bit lately. It's probably because it's part of a winning formula for successful shonen protagonists, the most popular ones (Luffy, Goku, Naruto) are all naive, reckless, good hearted, and relentlessly optimistic. I'm not quite sure...

Goku Blue on... Namek?
Moro arc in Tenkaichi 4? :think: :think:
If it were the Moro arc, Goku would be wearing the Galactic Patrol insignia and a different belt.

Re: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor

I definitely see Goku's character traits in Luffy, but I wouldn't say One Piece is Dragon Ball's spiritual successor because Dragon Ball is a fighting manga/anime, and One Piece, while it has plenty of action and fight scenes, is much more focused on the story and world building.

Re: Could something be announced on Goku day?

There will probably be something announced on Goku day, but I doubt it's going to be a new anime. I think they'll make a new one eventually, but my gut is telling me we're not going to see it soon. Hopefully I'm wrong though, would love to see a big budget remake of the entire Dragon Ball story, and...

Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors

Dragon Ball characters in general don't have much depth to them, that's just not the type of series Dragon Ball is. Depth is not limited merely to the creator's intention. Art does not exist in a vacuum and Dragon Ball is no exception to the rule. Saying " Dragon Ball isn't the type of series ...

Kami was the original creator of Shenlon, so he gets special treatment. It wasn't said, but it seems very obvious.

Re: New Sand Land project announced

There's a possibility they could make an anime to promote the game, or that it has animated cut scenes, but don't get your hopes up. I would love a Sand Land anime, though, or even better, a Toriyama anthology series where they animate all of his one shots.

Re: New Sand Land project announced

It's not an anime, it's a game, Bandai Namco posted the trailer and they make games not anime. They're using the same "project" name place holder they used with Kakarot. I imagine it will be an RPG, but we'll have to wait for gameplay footage to find out. Didn't they fund the remake of Pl...
