I do like the episodes on M2. The machine mutants being able to walk through metal and how that was used through the story was clever.

Yeah it was gorgeous. Those episodes were best part of Black Star saga.
I think Episode 1-6 was good 7-14 was boring&easily the worst part of GT and 15-22 was absolutely great Imo

I always thought this was a very divisive episode. It seems like people either hated it or they loved it. I personally didn't like it much at all either. Personally, I think it's because I just am not a huge fan of Dr. Slump. I skipped over the episodes in the original Dragonball where the universe shows up (though I did watch it through once) and I just couldn't get into it when I tried to track down the manga. Everyone told me that if I liked Dragonball that I'd love Dr. Slump but that could not be further from the truth for me.

Oh that episode was horrible I totally agree. The gags weren't funny although it was cool to see Vegeta in a suit and trolling about how she was a gag character.

Most of Super's "attempt" at comedy is horrible. :P

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Unpopular DB opinions
I hate the French fandom and more mostly now after todays Toyotaro last tweet.

I feel ashamed because of those uncultured swine who insult Toyotaro over the last DBS Chapter. :(

On behalf of the French DB Fan I apologize for my compatriot who are sour and full of hatred right now. :oops:

While I do agree with that, I believe some of the slice of life were the best of part of this show, having some good humour as well.

Super Saiyan 4 is a great form, but most characters who have it don't look that good in it.

Goku is the one who the form was made for, basically, and he looks the best but the only one who looks truly great other than him is Gogeta, who ignores most of everything that's established about the form and whoever designed him did it for him to look as good as possible without bothering with the form's "rules".

Vegeta in it looks like a doll. Don't know how to put it and his general GT design doesn't help, but he looks like an angry plushie.

Gohan is just bland. His hairstyle doesn't fit the form at all and his fur also seems to have the safest choice of color.

Broly outright doesn't look good. The form itself just doesn't lend itself to such buffness. Broly Dark looks cool, but that's because of all the added elements to it like the mask and the Dragon Ball on the chest, not to mention it's much more muted color palette that makes it look distinct.

I'll give props to whoever designed SSJ4 Bardock, since they didn't just slap a scar on Goku and call it a day, but made it more unique with different hair and fur color, but at the same time Goku's design is just so good that it makes Bardock pale in comparision. Still, the closest one to come to the top two.

We still need to get a better look at Vegetto, but while he doesn't look bad by any means, like say Gohan, it still looks like it could've used more wackiness. Gogeta takes the cake from him any day.

That's the reason I want Future Trunks and Gotenks to get the form the most in Heroes: Designers can put a spin on them to make them look as good and memorable as Goku and Gogeta. Trunks with a cool purple fur scheme and Gotenks with a cool Gogeta scheme with a side of Trunks.

So yeah, to sum it up: SSJ4 is great, but few look good in it.

It looks best on Goku but on the other hand SSJ2 only looks good and really different on Teen Gohan because it was designed for him as well.
SSJ4 never had any rules in GT. Gogeta just looked different and cool.
The problem with Gohan/Broly/Bardock is that DBH follow the same scheme for SSJ4. While in GT, everyone looked different with different pallete and unique changes to clothes (like Vegeta's gloves growing fingers), in Heroes they all just lose shirt and grow red fur on chest. SSJ4 lost its magic and unique design for everyone and became just another form with established rules.

Broly Dark looks good to me not because of mask and dragon ball but because of his dark fur.
Mira, while officialy not having SSJ4, has a form that is obviously based on it and could easily be his or another character's SSJ4 form.
They should at least give us female SSJ4.

SSJ4 Gogeta looks better than Goku and Vegeta IMO.
    I never liked the first opening in DBZ whether its Rock the Dragon or Head-Cha-La.

    Neither the DBS Manga or Anime are better or worse than the other to me. Both are as good as each other, but have more than a few flaws.

    And no matter how great he was at the ToP, I still resent the fact that Freeza replaced Buu, especially after having two fights building him up. They can't do anything with him? Is he just a "lol he's sleeping" joke since the Beerus arc?
    Vegeta: How?! How are you so much more powerful than me?!
    Goku Black: Because Vegeta, a rose by any other name.... is still Goku.

    I like the Buu arc the best.

    I like the Saiyan arc the least. (out of Z)

    I don't like SS4, it doesn't fit with the line of "Super Saiyan" visually and looks quite ridiculous in my eyes

    No they snaped long before the ChefOtaku said anything, yes this guy is a lot popular in the FR Dragon Ball community if I were to give him a equivalent in the UK/US Dragon Ball Community I think he is like HailZeon but more a swearing HailZeon.
