I just finished Yo! the return of son Goku and friends. and I didn't find 1 error? :lol: someone out there tell me, that they know of at-least 1 error in this special that we can throw in here.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Personally regarding that Vegeta filler I see it more that both Vegeta and Gohan needed to calm down. Vegeta flew away but once his head was clear he came back.
:?
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

The only error I can think of is Tien not being there. I mean he was one of the last survivors on Earth and helped Gohan distracting Buu for a few seconds and he wasn't even invited? Ouch..

But, I don't think that's really an error..

He wasn't there because his Japanese VA has passed away.

They still could of had him as a non-speaking role.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

They could have, but they decided to leave him out in honor of the VA's memory.

It's not really important anyway.

I got some manga errors here:
SSJ Trunks' eyes shouldn't have black pupils:
Image

SSJ3 Goku's black pupils are missing in his whole fight with Pure Boo:
Image

*SSJ3 Gotenks' black pupils are missing too in his fight with Evil Boo:
Image

*But he has black pupils before he gets absorbed:
Image

*Note: It's up to you to deside which one is the error. Gotenks has been shown with black pupils at least two times (only in the panel I posted, and in a WSJ cover). Toei desided to keep Gotenks without black pupils in the anime, possibly because he was mostly been shown without pupils, which resulted almost every other SSJ3 Gotenks appearances in video games & merchadise having him without pupils. SSJ3 Goku and Vegeta in video games, merchadise and art designs are portrayed with black pupils sometimes, and others without black pupils. As far as I know, SSJ3 Trunks was always shown without black pupils. In my opinion, every SSJ3 (exept Broli, for obvious reasons) has black pupils. The times they are shown without the black pupils are errors.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Nice! Also it's sad whenever a voice actor leaves us :(

Honestly, I really don't think attending a party is something Tenshinhan would do. His appearance at Capsule Corp. in that filler episode was really uncharacteristic.

I take Gregory's appearence as an error. The movie first premiered in Jump Festa, so it should just follow the manga.

Because Goku's a farmer and Vegeta's still in his Cell saga attire.

One error I always noticed was when Goku turns SSJ2 against Majin Vegeta, the episode after where their fight begins Goku's hair style is drawn as a regular SSJ.

Image
This is how the hair should be for a SSJ2.

Image
I'm having trouble finding screencaps for this flippin' episode, but here's one, as you can see the artist who drew this episode didn't pay much attention to the way Toriyama draws SSJ2. Throughout the this whoe episode he draw's Goku's hair as SSJ1.

Apart from visual errors, there's another mistake I noticed. It's in the episode before Goku fights Yakon. Dabura seems to be shocked at Babidi's decision in choosing Yakon for the next fight, I never understood why since apart from himself and Yakon they don't have any other warriors left, apart from those other measly soldiers that Gohan later blows away with his ki, so when Babidi says to send Yakon for stage 2, it's like he had to think about it, Dabura acts confused as to why Babidi is sending one of the strong warriors, and Babidi seems to acts as if he's playing it safe as he suspects Goku and co are powerful, so by sending Yakon...yeah you get what I mean...so I never got why Dabura questions Babidi here at all, since Yakon is infact the only warrior left to use anyway.

I think it was taken straight from the manga, in which we didn't see any of Bobbodi's minions other than Pui Pui, Yakon, Dabra and one or two other guys that we didn't see fight. So Dabra would've thought that it might be overkill to pick Yakon, who's presumably leaps and bounds ahead of Pui Pui, to defeat three guys, whose greatest feat, as far as they know, is defeating Pui Pui.

There's nothing wrong with them. They become gray in DBZ and other anime when the character is experiencing a heavy fear or amount of pain.

This is more of an inconsistency than an error...
Apparently Goku was originally going to become a Super Saiyan to fight off dead Cell and Freeza, and they animated it that way. But then they had to paint over his hair with black because Paikuhan wasn't supposed to know about Super Saiyans yet.
Where's the blond haired screenshot from? Is it just a fan colored version?

Goku's drawn as SSJ2 in various parts of that episode. He just seems to phase in and out between getting his ass kicked by Vegeta, not so much of an error as it is the studio interpreting it differently with their art style; and Dabra thought using Yakon would be over kill so it's perfectly justified. \

Edit: I realized it's just the art style making it look like he's not SSJ2 at parts, from certain angles. Regardless, both explanations work.

Image
The art style here just makes his bangs bigger than they should be, otherwise everything's where it should be.

This is an odd one that I recall someone pointed out on this forum a while ago. As SSJ3 Goku prepares to slams his two ki blasts into Janemba, for a split second you can see a frame from later on in the movie when Gogeta kicks Janemba in the face.

I've had that shot downloaded on my computer for a while now :)(This shot is not mine)
Image
But this Shot is Taken from my Dragon-box the Movies(My friend made me copies and burned them to DVD for me)
I have watched this scene 3 times at normal speed and It's impossible to spot it. But when I used VLC media player and slowed it down to 0.03x(any other speed was too fast to catch it) and that's slower than a sloth taking a shit :lol: we see it for about 2 or 3 milliseconds?
Image
then it disappears.

samuraix123 @ ghosting?

One error/plothole that always bugged me was Cell's, according to his logic, if his lump/nucleus were to be blown away he would die and unable to regenerate, then why was he able to when Son Goku blasted his top-body with the Instant Kamehame-Ha?

I've read reasons as why to Cell was able to be kept alive, but by logic it doesn't make sense to me.

Mr. Toriyama, care to explain?
