Limit Break X Survivor - Greatest theme song of DB history?

Post by DSB » Tue Nov 28, 2017 3:00 pm

Now that we have had it for a damn long time, its time we discuss this once and for all. IMO, this song has the ultra modernist vibe to it. And its Rock done right for DB [FU, Rock the Dragon]

Whats your opinion?

I don't know if it's my #1 but it's in the top 3 alongside the lone warrior from Kai and BOG's Flow song.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I'm moving this to the "Music" sub-section of our forum. You may wish to browse around before posting threads to see if there is a more appropriate location for your discussion.

I like the song a lot, but I hesitate to start tossing it into any sort of Dragon Ball theme pantheon already. We've only had it in our lives for less than a year at this point — that's not really enough time to truly reflect and form any sort of long-lasting attachment to it the same way we've had with the franchise's wealth of other songs.

Compare it to Chozetsu Dynamic at least...

I think so. It's incredibly vibrant, upbeat and represents Dragon Ball in its purest form with its abundance of energy. Plus, the animation in the opening is stunning.

Limit Break X Survivor's great, but Cha-La Head-Cha-La is Dragon Ball's song, whether one likes it or not. It's not my favourite but there's just something about Kageyama-sensei's energetic voice that sounds like there's an actual SSJ singing it. The other singers are great but they just don't capture Kageyama's spirit (except for Hiroki Takahashi, who provides tremendous spirit but in a different way.)
"All of you. All of you must have KILL all the SEASONS!" -Dough (Tenshinhan), Speedy Dub of Movie 9.

"My opinion of Norihito's Sumitomo's new score is... well, very mixed. The stuff that's good is pretty darn good, but the stuff that's bad makes elevator music sound like Jerry freaking Goldsmith." -Kenisu

I wouldn't put it over Dragon Soul and certainly not Cha-La, but it's a damn fine song nonetheless. It's pure pulse-pounding action, and it's probably the best of that kind of song to come out in a long time. The intro animation deserves credit as well. It hyped up the return of beloved characters and single-handedly got Jiren over, 10 months before he did anything substantial in the show.

Also, I'm a sucker for a good orchestral mix and the one they used for 109 and 118 was sweet.

Music wise its a tie between Mystical Adventure,Bit By Bit I'm Falling Under Your Spell, Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go, and Limit Break X Survivor.

Animation wise, Limit Break X Survivor is definitely my favorite.

Honestly I liked it better before the full version came out. Waiting so long for it allowed my mind to formulate what it would do, and some of the choices with the ending but of the full version disappointed me. But as an OP song, it's definitely a favorite of mine. It was such a surprise, and it made me excited to watch Dragon Ball. Chouzetsu was decent at best, but the vocals felt weak to me, while LBxS is the exact opposite for me, the vocals are a strength. Such enthusiasm throughout the song. My favorite DB theme is probably Kuu Zen Zetsu Go or Mystical Adventure (English Funimation version). I like the songs that have the essence of fun. LBxS fits into that mold for me.
