Re: [Visual Comparison] Dragon Ball Minus / Super: Broly

I much prefer Shintani's designs to Toriyama's modern style. It's just too lifeless. Dragon Ball Super: Broly deserves a lot of praise for making me like Dragon Ball Minus, as when I read the manga chapter, I hated it. This just goes to show how amazing character designs, great direction, and phenom...

Re: Does Dragon Ball takes priority

It's not like that, don't be facetious. It's that I can't see someone doing that and still being a ''normal'' individual, as society requires it. I.e. living a regular life. You can't imagine people that live regular lives discussing a series they like in-depth? That's what people do. My friends go...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Can we use Gogeta's performance in the movie to definitively say Base fusion, no matter which, is above God now? Gogeta's performance in base is iffy. He's handling Broly just fine but then he goes Super Saiyan and they seem to be even. But base fusions have been stronger than God since Kefla, so i...

Ryo Onishi
Unfamiliar with him. What episode/scene did he work on?
Most notably SS/SSG Goku vs Broly in the recent film and 18 vs Ribrianne in the ToP.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzdTCxqNdB8 Nozawa should use this tone of voice more often, instead of the cutesy, high-pitched tone she uses for Goku in the lighthearted, slice-of-life scenes nowadays. You could say that she uses that because Super Goku's is more infantile than his Z counterpart, ...

Because people here seem to be addicted to Dragon Ball . I wouldn't have the patience to write page-long posts about the Broly movie, for example.

Re: ToP Arc: The Worst and most boring Arc of Super so far?

I've discussed it more in other threads, but it suffers from the same problem that the retellings did; the whole arc is unadulterated bloat. It's quantity over quality. It's empty spectacle, sometimes at the story's own expense. The thing about Toriyama's modern stories is (structurally speaking) t...

Re: DBZ is still DB

I agree that the Saiyan arc is just a natural evolution of what the series had become and it's not tonally disconnected from the arc that came before it, but as arbitrary and random the split of the anime was, they really nailed it on the head if a split was truly necessary. Goku's main objective in...

Re: ToP Arc: The Worst and most boring Arc of Super so far?

Definitely the worst one for me personally, out of the entire franchise. Its highs may be great, but its lows are really lows. Every episode was full of nonsensical characterization, felt disjointed from the previous ones and had some kind of asspull or inconsistent plot point. One of the rare mone...

Re: Should Vegeta ever transition into saying Goku instead of Kakarot?

I liked the way DBM handled it. http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/pages/final/1055.png He said it to make a point and make the contrast between Kakarotto and Son Goku that much more powerful. In the actual series, I think if they ever face a fully evil Saiyan again, that it could work. Goku Bl...

So does Broly's rage form explain Goku's punch vs Demon King Piccolo?

When the Oozaru flashes behind him vs Daimao (as well as against Mr. Popo later). Obviously, out-of-universe, it was a stylistic choice, but in-universe is it possible Goku momentarily tapped into the same form as Broly and that's why he was able to harness his power as an Oozaru for a few seconds?

Re: Members of the Goku Alliance (or “Z Fighters”, if you want to call them that)

Whis aided Goku against Freeza and Mr. Satan helped against Boo, and I would count Jiren as a serious antagonist considering the universe was on the line, adding 17 and Freeza then.

Good chapter. Not a big fan of the action, but I really liked the world building. The use of the Freeza soldier as a kickstart to the plot felt a bit forced, but it was neat all the same; I like that the arc is attempting to tie in the Gods, the Galactic Patrol and the Freeza army all in some shape ...
