I can really imagine him talking like that, it seems perfect!
I'm also wondering, if anyone here knows, do people from space, or any of the villains, have particular accents in the original Japanese version?

Western equivelents of the characters' accents?
I know many Dragon Ball characters have specific accents and dialects, but as a non-Japanese speaker some of them are sort of lost on me, especially as they usually don't get translated. What would you say were the English-spoken equivelents of some of them? If you were directing an English dub that...

Re: Age of the Characters?
The guide have never mentions Kaio, do we know how old he is? In response to something in the age-guide thread, it seems likely to me that the Saiyans wouldn't age while in hibernation, they'd do something to prevent themselves wasting their life away while travelling in space. They're probably phys...

If Goku and Vegeta had gone into the RoSaT together?
When Goku said something along the lines of "Only two people can enter the room at once and I'm going in with Gohan, so you'll have to train with Trunks" to Vegeta, it sounded very much like he was saying "The two of us would go in together if I wasn't going in with Gohan", and I...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Re: DNA's Filler Arc analysis
I agree. The planet could be made of the substance that broke the Z-sword or something. That's unlikely. Kachin, a metal so strong that seventeen year old Gohan with the all mighty Z-Sword couldn't cut is what a planet that six year old Gohan destroyed with a single blast? I don't think so. I wasn'...

Re: DNA's Filler Arc analysis
I actually like the Garlic Jr arc. Other arcs generally reduce to: 1. A new enemy, more powerful than anybody else, appears/ 2. Protagonist gains a power boost and defeats the enemy with brute strength. The Garlic Jr arc has much more to it story-wise than that. There's the quest to restore humanity...

Re: Vegeta the 32 Year Old Virgin ?
I'm undecided about both the virgin/not and the rapist/not thing. He's certainly done plenty of things about as bad as rape, and he was capable of a "passion thing" with Bulma so we know he has a sex drive, but he's also very cold and proud, and probably gets more pleasure from killing any...

Why didn't Goku just fetch the Dragon radar himself?
During the Boo arc, instead of sending Trunks to get the Dragon radar, then teleporting to Boo to distract him and buy time for Trunks, why didn't Goku just teleport to the Capsule Corporation and fetch the radar himself, avoiding all the messing about and having to go SSJ3 and burn up his remaining...

Re: Dragon Ball dub
If you're brain is able to keep up comfortably, the most enjoyable way to watch Dragon Ball (as long as you don't hate the dub voices) is to watch it with the English audio, but with the subs displayed so you can see what the Japanese dialogue is too. This way you get the best of both, so when the t...

Re: Dragon Ball (Z) Anime
The anime has more major flaws than the manga. The manga doesn't have anything seriously wrong with it, but the anime has filler that drags out fights to 20+ episodes long, often with nothing of substance happening for more than an entire episode at a time, and also some pretty enormous contradictio...

Looking for decent sized Dragon Ball figures for a young fan
My young brother is also a fan of the series, and he's asking for Dragon Ball "action figures". As I'm sure most of you are aware, that sort of thing is difficult to find. I can only find tiny figures, ones that would be unsuitable for play, very expensive ones. I've found a couple of thes...

Re: Which family would you live with?
I'd love to live at Kame House, personally. Kame Sen'nin is the most fun character in the series, and I have no complaints about Kuririn, Oolong or Lunch either.

Re: Should there have been a couple more arcs in Dragon Ball
Everything just went stupid during the Buu arc. I love Super Saiyan 3, and a lot of things in that arc, but 7-year-old Super Saiyans? I'd drop everything after Cell just because of that. I agree that the Shadow Dragon arc was good. The rest of GT sucked, but the Buu arc leading into the Shadow Drago...

Re: Should there have been a couple more arcs in Dragon Ball
I've just thought back to this while re-reading Dragon Ball volume 10, and I think there should have been another arc between the Uranai Baba and 22nd Tenkaichi arcs. Not just the few ultra-formulaic episodes that we got in the anime, but some bigger adventures of Goku during his travels. I'd really...
