Re: Knowing the story in advance: let's polish it
I'd probably do away with the Pilaf Gang since I never cared for them. Goku & Dragon Squad would follow the radar to Muscle Tower instead of Pilaf Fortress, making Gen. White, with the help of Dr. Gero, the 1st big bads of the series. Gero's appearance now would make his introduction in the Andr...

Re: How would you feel if Goku's outfit had varied more?
He did wear casual clothing while hanging out with Gohan and waiting for the Cell Games to begin, but I'm unsure if that's filler or not so it may not count. Otherwise, I agree that it makes sense for Goku to wear fighting clothes all the time due to his obsession with fighting, but even a change in...

Re: When you were a kid did you think Freeza was a woman?
I sure did. Even my dad asked "is that a girl?" when he caught me watching DBZ one time.

Re: Could Piccolo absorb Cell?
I would say no. He has Namekian cells, but that doesn't mean that he can perform Namekian fusion rituals. Just like he can't go Super Saiyan despite being comprised of Saiyan cells. Dr. Gero's intent was to create the perfect warrior that comes with an arsenal or peoples' signature techniques, inclu...

Re: What was your all time Picco-"low'?
Throughout high school, about 2009-2012. I went through a phase where I thought I was "too old" for cartoons. I slowly got back into it when I dug up my old Funi singles in the attic and shortly after, I watched the original DB for the first time and discovered a new love for the series. N...

Re: Try to razionalize "stupid" desicions made by characters throughout the franchise
He was confident in Gohan. That's it. Why didn't King Cold transform? Probably simply because he couldn't. I figure Freeza was the man of the household and surpassed even his father. Why didn't Raditz finish off Goku before turning his attention to the unconscious Gohan? He was in the middle of doi...

Re: Favorite Non-FUNi English Voices?
Overall I enjoyed most of the 90's Ocean dub. The Ginyu Force for example, namely Scott McNiel's Jeice. His Piccolo is unrivaled too, imo. Brian Drummond was pretty good as Vegeta in the Saiyan & Namek sagas. Dr. Kochin's voice is creepy and definitely gives off that mad scientist vibe. Even Yam...

Re: Does Chiaotzu have any fans?
I like Chiaotzu, he has interesting abilities and I think he would've made a nice addition to the Z-Warriors. However, he's such a quiet and mysterious character who hasn't had much screen time. He had one real fight that showcased his abilities and what he could do, but after that, he was just anot...

Re: Guess the Next Poster's Favorite Character
I think he was the first serious villain in Dragon Ball, but otherwise he's a bit too "genericly villainy" for me. He did reincarnate into one of my favorites, however!
Chiaotzu?

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?
What's wrong with the S5 bluray?I spent the last day watching S9 BD in Japanese and it was fine. I do think the BD's (save for S5) are underrated here but that's just my opinion.

Re: What do you call each arc and why?
I group Pilaf & the Tournament sagas together as the Beginning. First hunt for dragon balls, first villains, Goku learns his first martial arts lessons, leading to the first major fights of the series. I'd group Baba into RRA Arc. The whole reason they even fight in her tournament is to find the...

Re: How were you introduced to the series?
Back in 1998. I was supposed to be asleep but I was up late watching Cartoon Network. I think that animated Batman cartoon finished airing when they said "don't go away, Dragon Ball Z" is next. I was thinking "I've never heard of that cartoon before," so I was curious and stayed ...

Re: Do you want a series based on Tenshinhan or Yamcha
Some background info on both characters would be nice, but imo if there's a forgotten character that needs more spotlight, it's Master Roshi. A series covering his days as Mutayito's student and his friendship/rivalry with Crane Hermit, to his encounter with Piccolo, to training Gohan and Ox King wo...

I tried the same disc on my parents' bluray player and it worked just fine. Must be my PS3.

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion
Does anyone have a problem with their blu-ray discs freezing? I'm on disc 1 of season 3 and it's the only one giving me any trouble. It keeps freezing everytime I click play on the main menu. Not sure if it's my PS3 or these half-asses blurays being faulty.
