He would also have made for a great Cell IMO since Wakamoto was so disappointing in Kai.DragonBallKing wrote: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.8000 Saiyan wrote: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.
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.

Haven't you seen Japanese Kai? Wakamoto was underwhelming in that, not up to par to his Z performance.Noah wrote:Why you think that?8000 Saiyan wrote:He would also have made for a great Cell IMO since Wakamoto was so disappointing in Kai.

LaughingStockMedia made a video about the Cell arc plot hole concenring Cell's core and cited a Toriyama interview about it, is this true or did he screw something up cause I can't find anything.

He talked about Toriyama specifically mention the whole core, head thing for Cell and how Goku probably should've won by blowing his top half away.dbgtFO wrote:Never heard about it either, so I'm going to need a source for his claims.

He talks about it here around the 4 minute mark.

I heard a rumor that Trunks carries his sword as a way to stopping Android 19 and 20's energy stealing hand trick when they were going to be the villains, that hold any weight?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
While re-reading the manga, I think I may have stumbled across another plothole in the Cell arc.
Cell initially had no idea he had the ability to regenerate until it was demonstrated to him by Piccolo regenerating his arm. So how the hell did Cell figure out that he needed the core in his head to remain intact to regenerate? And how did he know he had a core in his head that allowed him to regenerate to even begin with? I mean, Cell already knows that he has Piccolo's cells in him, so how does he not know he can regenerate and there is core in his head that enables him to regenerate?

If the Full Power Super Saiyan Blue from the manga ever gets animated, I think a good way to make it look more interesting, while still holding true to the "keeping the Ki inside one's body" thing, would be to have an aura similar to Beerus. You know, like an outline around the body, not the usual raging one.
I mean, it looks good in the manga, don't get me wrong, but I feel it could use some more style when translated into animation.

I'm pretty sure Cell always knew he could regenerate (I assume Dr Gero / the computer told him everything), it just slipped his mind that Piccolo could do it.Lord Beerus wrote:While re-reading the manga, I think I may have stumbled across another plothole in the Cell arc.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Cell knew that Piccolo could regenerate, but since Piccolo's arm hadn't been cut off, it has just been drained, it slipped Cell's mind that Piccolo could cut his own arm off to regenerate it. Just like, honestly, it slipped my mind the first time I watch it despite me knowing fully well that Piccolo could regenerate arms.TrunksTrevelyan0064 wrote:I'm pretty sure Cell always knew he could regenerate (I assume Dr Gero / the computer told him everything), it just slipped his mind that Piccolo could do it.Lord Beerus wrote:While re-reading the manga, I think I may have stumbled across another plothole in the Cell arc.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I just find it a bit ridiculous that Cell would conveniently forget at that moment that Piccolo could just tear of his arm and regenerate it. It just seems a bit too plot contrived for my liking.rereboy wrote:Cell knew that Piccolo could regenerate, but since Piccolo's arm hadn't been cut off, it has just been drained, it slipped Cell's mind that Piccolo could cut his own arm off to regenerate it.

I don't find it ridiculous at all since, as I've mentioned, the first time I watched the scene, it slipped my mind that Piccolo could cut his own arm off, even though I immediately understood Piccolo's ruse the moment Piccolo ripped it off. I don't consider myself stupid so it seems perfectly realistic to me. Being realistic means missing stuff sometimes, not being flawless, imo.Lord Beerus wrote:I just find it a bit ridiculous that Cell would conveniently forget at that moment that Piccolo could just tear of his arm and regenerate it.

Would love to seen western artists draw DB!
