Did Beerus really ordered Frieza to destroy planet vegeta ? Because I never saw that in the movie or in DBS.

What do people here think of Ryusei Nakao as Cooler? Did you think it was a great performance or would you have preferred another actor? While I think another actor could have worked well, Nakao did great in the part IMO.

Does Nakao have a brother who acts?

? I like his Coola, It's basically just a deeper version of his Frost voice which lacks the elegance of his Freeza. If I were to pick another actor, Jouji Nakata who surprisingly has never been in Dragon Ball would make an amazing Coola.

On Topic:
I really like how they got Chris Ayres brother Greg to voice frost, and I really hope he recovers from his illness before the dub reaches the Tournament.

So glad they got Mathew Mercer to voice Hit, much better than his Xeno 2 voice. It gives me hope that Sabat will take Sean's Black in a more accurate direction.

He did a good job. I love Nakao's Freeza but I dunno, his Coola just sounds like another Freeza to me. I prefer Ricardo Brust (Latin American dub) take on the character.

His Coola is definitely different even though it's obviously the same actor. Coola's voice is deeper than Freeza and looses that androgynous speech pattern that makes Freeza more posh sounding. I always thought Andrew Chandler's coola was a bright spot for old Funi dubs, he's definitely more popular in the dub community mainly due to his voice.

It's not a bad voice for Coola. Its a really good take on the character and it is different from Nakao's Freeza. I just wasn't really impressed by his Coola. I've only watched the first Coola movie once in Japanese. I need to watch it again. But personally I like Ricardo Burst's Coola better.

I have a feeling that the whole misconception of "Goku always wins" comes from one of these two reasons:

1. Goku victories in DBZ movies: I think this is the only place where Goku has an overall higher %win rate than in the anime/manga.

2. Goku having a lot of screentime: a side effect of power creep leaving non saiyans in the dust and taking out their screentime in favor of Goku (and other saiyans). While having more screentime is not the same as winning a fight it does give the (misleading) impression that he's the only ones that get the major fights.

Or a third option could be the above combined.

More the result of him being the main character.

JoJo, the series that successfully doesn't fuck up where most other Shonen very much do.

Jojo isn't little boys! It's seinen.

JoJo is one of the greatest Seinen series, just like this American cartoon known as Dragon Ball.

Also, why is there this huge stigma with referring to Ningens as 'humans'?

Because weaboos. There's faithfulness to the source material, and then there's being literal and refusing to translate regular nouns.

Yes. Steel Ball Run was where Araki transitioned from Weekly Shonen Jump to Ultra Jump in 2004.

Why the past episodes in the "Episode Archive Discussion" had been excluded?

I love his Coola, probably even more than I like his Freeza. The only character Nakao voiced that I really don't like is Frost, they should have got another voice actor.

Those people are sick.
Romano's Batman is pretty underrated. He was also a pretty cool Spider-Man. Am I the only here who prefers him to Josh Keaton?
Nope. Keaton's good but Romano's Spider-Man is always how I hear the character.

I'd do everything to hear him again in the role. He and Barnes are my favorites.

Have no idea, but I get the feeling that the result would be very awkward, kind of like what happened with Peter Kelamis.

I just realized today, Tom King's Batman is the Dragon Ball Super of DC comics

He's actually really great on everything besides that book, it's just his Batman run is a train wreck I can't help but keep following, much like Super

He's still better than Frank Miller's work on All-Star Batman & Robin IMO.
