Re: Would you like to hear the Funimation voice cast imitate the original Japanese voices in future English dubs?
Yes, just because the "I hate when Goku sounds like a girl" crowd would throw a fit.

Re: Worst character design?
The Spice Boys. Mustard in particular. Normally I'm pretty open minded about the designs but he's just plain hideous.
Semi-Perfect Cell has a great design but the whole thing is ruined by his face. It's a face that only a mad scientist could love.

Re: Vegeta's lack of reaction to Cooler in Movie 6
Either they've met before or Vegeta just doesn't believe Cooler's worth acknowledging compared to Freeza. After all, Freeza was the emperor of the North Galaxy while Cooler was a relative nobody.
It definitely wouldn't surprise me if Cooler was living in the shadows of King Cold and Freeza ...

Re: Can DB Ever Move Past Goku?
I can think of few things less interesting then a series about Uub and Pan. Goku and co. will have to hijack that story by about episode 8.
I think a series of Goku and Vegeta leading a team of younger warriors (Trunks, Goten, Pan, Uub, and maybe 1 or 2 new characters) on adventures around ...

Re: If Goku didn't marry ChiChi, which woman would you pair him with?
If it were up to me, I wouldn't have paired him with anybody. Goku is a terrible husband and father and it's clear he only has a passion for fighting. I mean Goten and Gohan were just wasted potential in the end anyway and I can't think of anyone that would make a good fit for him, aside from ...

Re: The new Dragon Ball room for 2021
I am so excited to see Dragon Ball come to North America. I wonder who will get the license. Hopefully they don’t do anything stupid like completely replace the music, skip the first series, and try to turn a martial arts series into a sci-fi super hero series.
There's no way something like ...

Re: Is Mr Popo an alien too?
Popo is a genie, no? At least that's what I remember reading somewhere. Either way, we've given enough sci-fi backstories to characters. I'd rather keep the mystic roots in tact for some of the cast.
Also, Kami is a god/deity. The theory I read somewhere (can't remember if it's canon but I think it ...

Re: Could a Roshi movie/special work or be fresh?
I've always loved the idea of a Roshi spin-off series. Studying martial arts, fighting Piccolo, his friendship-turned-rivalry with the Crane Hermit, training Gohan and Ox and putting on the Jackie Chun wig for the first time. There's plenty to be explored, but there are other ideas for spin-offs ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks
we would never need to spend a single cent on another release of DBZ again. :lol:
Which is probably part of the reason they were canceled. Too expensive, not enough sales (they did ask a lot for like 17 or so episodes per set plus they were flooding us with releases by that point), and they'd ...

Re: Do you the find the pushback against Goku being the hero to be odd?
I honestly think the Goku pushback is more of a western thing...for reasons of varying validity, American just aren't as fond of Goku and tend to favor Vegeta and Gohan. In Japan, Goku is King.
At the end of the day, it's Goku's story. Even Gohan's big moment in the spotlight was tied to Goku ...

Maybe they'll be around for years, maybe they'll pull a Dragon Box. Maybe they'll be replaced with something better, maybe they'll pull a Level Set. I'm just happy it's in 4:3 and of acceptable video quality (minus some earlier episodes, apparently). As someone with the Orange Bricks, I'll ...

Re: The new reason Goku behaved horribly to Son Gohan as a child....
Or maybe Gohan got sick of his shit and chucked him down the ravineemperior wrote: Fri Jul 24, 2020 8:53 am We also know from the original manga that Gohan couldn’t tame Goku until the latter fell into a ravine and hit his head. And who knows how that even happened. Maybe it happened accidentally during a fight.

Main story? No. It could only work for a spin-off, such as remaking the Bardock special or a new Trunks special.

Re: What would Toei have done with GT if it had gone on longer?
I'm under the impression that the Shadow Dragon Arc was meant to be the finale either way so we'd probably have more stuff happening between that and Super 17 or between Super 17 and the Baby Arcs.

Re: Why does Goku Hate Raditz so much?
As people have said, Goku had little choice in that fight. Vegeta and Frieza were broken and unable to fight so he let them go (well Frieza obviously rejected but still). In the end, Goku will go for the kill if that's what it takes to save the planet/universe/whatever.

Didn't Dragon Ball Z start with Yamicha having cheated on Bulma? Like... episode two? Or was that a dubism? I can't remember at this point.
Dub-ism. In episode 2 she said was mad at him but wouldn’t say why then in episode 10 we found out he stood her up because he was broke.
