What's your BIGGEST mess-up regarding Dragonball?

[Kingdom Heartless]

Also, before I really started watching it, my sister (for god knows why) thought Vegeta was really Goku's other son and was named Goken. I can't remember, but I'm sure it didn't take me long to realise otherwise.

Plus, I thought the Super Saiya-jin transformation was permanent, so I was surprised when Goku went back to base form.

Now that you mention it, before I first saw GT I'd heard that SSJ4 was 'permanent'. They probably meant that once Goku had achieved it he could use it at will, but for a while I thought he was permanently pink and furry after that.

So did Goku, if I remember correctly.

I thought Goku and Yamcha were the same person in Dragon Ball Z.

I thought Goku and Yamcha were the same person in Dragon Ball Z.

I remember people thinking that Yamcha was a Saiyan because he dressed like Goku and had wild black hair.

Around the time I'd seen up to the Cell arc, I got to play the SNES fighter Hyper Dimension. I didn't know why Yamcha was featured as a fighter. Years later I realized it was Gohan wearing the Kame gi.

Also, I first got into DBZ during the Cell Games saga, and in the Toonami intro, they showed that scene from Vegeta's vision pre-Android saga where Goku and Trunks transform and at first I thought, "Whoah, is that guy in the blue another one of Goku's sons?!"

I originally thought Vegetto was Vegeta’s brother. I saw his name online but CN was only into the Freeza Saga at that point so I probably didn’t want to spoil it by reading his actual bio the same way I’d done with the Bulma/Vegeta relationship (which made no sense at the time, BTW) and assumed that the similar name implied kinship.

[omae no kaasan]

I miss those things. They had quizzes on random pieces of DB information, some for beginners(Who is Vegeta?), intermediates(How old is Goku when Z starts?), and advanced(What does the symbol on Oolong's house mean before he begins traveling with Goku and Bulma?)

Glad you enjoyed them. I wrote them.

And I was also one of the many people who thought Goku and Yamcha were brothers because of Yamcha's appearance.

What's your biggest screw-up? (Names, Sagas, Covers, etc;) Mine goes as follows:

So, how about you?

Dragonball Z getting dubbed.

[Leotaku]

Sometime in 2000, before I had seen anything from the Cell saga, I tried drawing a picture of Cell. I didn't have any ONE picture to use as suitable reference, so I tried to piece his design together from several small pictures. I remember that one was even a screenshot of Super Butoden 2 from an old issue of Game Players.

In the end, I drew something that had parts of all his forms in a single design. It was only later that year that I redrew him correctly.

In a similar drawing-related incident, I drew a re-creation of Goku punching through Piccolo Daimao. Not being that familiar with Daimao at the time, I just drew him like I'd draw Piccolo. I eventually re-did the picture, with Daimao looking appropriately different from Piccolo this time.

Dragonball Z getting dubbed.

That was your doing!?

[Rocketman]

Bulma/Vegeta relationship (which made no sense at the time, BTW)

Honestly, that doesn't make much sense now.

[Miracles]

Dragonball Z getting dubbed.

That was your doing!?

Yes, making Dragonball so popular fans across the seas formed the evil knowns as dub.
It's all of our doing, really.

So, really, as the title indicates, what was your biggest mistake regarding Dragonball?

I remember those drawings... *sighs*

While your redone one was much better and more dynamic (I think Piccolo not being symmetrical and looking more like Daimao helped a lot, along with your general improvements), I think you should've kept Goku's eyes closed. He just looked... creepy and sort of gaga with them open.

[Acid_Reign]

Honestly, that doesn't make much sense now.

Haha, yeah, I suppose you’re right. But it was a lot weirder when Vegeta was “full evil” and had little to do with the Z crew beyond what was necessary to achieve his goals, and Bulma was almost entirely MIA hiding behind Namekian cliffs all day long, than it was when they just happened to be two compatible species of the opposite sex in apparently close proximity on Earth with no immediate threats to preoccupy them…

For me, it would have to be making this thread a whole month after the news had been announced on the site. It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if I hadn't e-mailed VegettoEX about this a while before I made the thread, thinking (why would I ever think this) he was, for some reason, unaware of a piece of Dragonball news that I knew of.

Now, the kicker of this whole story is that as I read the post on the Daizenshuu EX site that was made when this was first announced I realized that I had already read it, and I knew that everyone already knew about this. In my excitement at the prospect of being able to inform Mike of some bit of news that he was unaware of I completely spaced the fact that he was the one who told me this news in the first place, a whole month ago.

The first episodes of Dragonball Z that I saw as a kid were from the Namek arc, and I thought Gohan and Kuririn were the same age. (I mean, they're practically the same size!)
