It's either part 59 or 60 of DBZanto's BoZ playtrough.
Christ, I just took a look at the comment section for that video. What a horribly depressing experience. I really despise how utterly broken this fandom is.
I don't think the fandom is broken honestly. It's mostly ignorance(Can't blame them) or video game What Ifs. There is also filler.
But I do prefer Birsru over Beerus.
Honestly I'm still shocked some people say this:
"In Tenkaichi 3 I did Broly vs SSJ3 Goku and Vegetto. Broly beat them both. That should be proof enough as they're CPU"

You do realize your in a position of power in those situations right? You have the knowledge, educate them.

When I do that. They usally get confused and call me "NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!". Most people just watch it and don't care for the explanation of things.
I mentioned Daizenshuu and thought I was talking about another anime.........

The funniest/most entertaining thing that happened to me regarding Dragon Ball was when my friend at University mentioned to me the "new series" of Dragon Ball that was coming out. He was so sure of himself he decided to bet me 5 dollars that he was correct. Sadly for him his claim did not pan out the way he thought it did.

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

Most don't really care about the fact there's a Japanese version. I just stick to vague things like "Piccolo is my favorite character" and "I love when Goku turns Super Saiyan in movie 5". If it ever comes down to a matter of viewing something together, that's when I outright refuse to watch it in English and explain my reasons for such. At least that's not a problem for the JSAT or Battle of Gods. Yet.

And it's apparently an older comment which can no longer be replied to for some reason. Thanks, current YouTube. Go f*** yourself.

The whole Dragonball Name puns thing is bollocks...

I told him the more obvious and easy to understand ones and he just thinks it's utter rubbish.

Ugh, no.
NO!
NONONONONONONONO!
I love how fans of the English dub hate it whenever FUNimation does something right (OK, that's a bit of an assumption, but you get what I mean).

My brother. But hey, he around 10, give him a break.

Well, I suppose it is conceivable that Goku wouldn't want to hurt his father... So if forced into a fight to the death he might give up.

I don't like the English dubs or the original versions of DB, but fans of the JP version can be just as annoying, always shoving down their views down your throat. "You can't criticize Nozawa, Toriyama picked her! You're not true fans!(which is technically true, but the way people go about saying it is way too much)."
You also need to keep in mind that most of these guys never claim to like dubs. If anything, they say "DB is one of the few series with a good English dub" which means they are not dub fans.
Speaking of which, that is what I wanted to say. The so called "dub" fans which they obviously aren't claim that DBZ and co are the only series with good dubbing, even though that is not the case. Do good dubs use green voice actors? Yes, but those green actors also have some sort of previous experience in drama or performing arts like JYB in Trigun and the voice of Magi's Ali Baba from, well Magi. The actors in DBZ were just so green, with no experience and couldn't act for shit. Secondly, good dubs don't replace music. If the quality was good, it would have the original music, to ensure that we know we are watching a faithful version of the original. Thirdly, a good dub wouldn't have such an inaccurate, messy script. Good dubs have accurate script, with no dub errors. I can't count the number of dub errors on my hands and feet. They're too vast. This also effects voice acting because a bad script equals awkward acting.

This almost makes me want to make a roleplay account called "Lord Beerus" for the sole purpose of proving that guy wrong.
Should I do it?

The whole Beerus vs Bills things serves to remind me of the current state of Dragon Ball fandom and how ridiculously heated things can get between various sides. I think everyone does need to calm down a bit though (on all sides!). The more heated conversations become the more dangerous they become as well. No one is going to change their opinion if they feel they are being personally attacked, and this goes both ways.

I would do it if you are already in the process of thinking about it. I think making an account called "Lord Beerus" is a fun way to combat the misconception rather then directly arguing with people about why they are or aren't wrong.

I don't know if I agree about speaking toward others (especially fans of Dragon Ball) so disparagingly. Yes they may be incorrect and stubborn in their assertions but name calling doesn't do anyone any favors. I'd like to think the Dragon Ball community could become above regular name calling and put downs. Let's not make things so negative if they don't have to be.

I wouldn't call them morons, just explain why it's incorrect to call him Bills as opposed to Beerus. Although, it might not be worth the headache.
Incidentally, my close friends who are your average nostalgic-DBZ fans (although a little more educated, they aren't Brolytards), were rather accepting when I told them it's "Beerus" instead of "Bills". I made an analogy with Tenshinan and T
ien, which I guess worked for them.
