Re: DB Goku and DBS Goku doesn't look like the same character

For starters DB Goku that is written by Toriyama, he grows and learn things little by little. Even if he is slow at learning things like social behaviour, he still learns. He is fast at learning when it comes to training and fighting. He even learns how to meditated and why it is good. DBS Goku in ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Best of the Next World Tournament Saga

Was short, sweet & cherry on the cake was Goku winnin the Tourney as if toei gifted it to him to make up for CG battle. And yeah, its still an iconic saga/arc for whatever reasons. The strongest filler arc ever since heyday DB filler arcs

Re: Why doesn't the series appeal as an adventure series?

Re: Goku was smart in Dragon Ball manga

I think he is shown to have it in the Buu arc, but regardless, it's not a function of intelligence. It is Goku's biology and the fact that he was raised in the mountains, away from civilization. And it's a trait used mostly for gags. I don't have anything else to add. Peace out. The scene with Goku...

Re: Studio Last House vs Studio Live (2022)

Uchiyama > Ebisawa/Triangle guy

Both studios have talented like Shida & Ohara in LH

Toshiyuki Kanno is life saver of SL with his art bein the best of the lot

Both guys have given memorable outputs since DB days

Feel Uchiyama would work. Heck I find his work > Shintani

Not everythin needs to be spelled out. Statin Goku will be fight green alien at TB or space alien at Namek kills any sorta hype or expectations Goku was destined to fight Piccolo jr at TB. Stated by Popo & kami. If we go earlier, Baba told as early at pre-22nd TB that Goku would save the earth. ...

Truth to be said, enjoyed just how they were portrayed and given time space. Decent & at times admirably thanks to Toriyama's likable & interesting characterization. Thank god it didnt turn into nakama datebayoo kinda irritating female troop as say, Amane Misa frm dn, or Inou aka korosaki-ku...

You know it's funny because Goku doesn't give an opinion one way or the other on Cell achieving his final form. Bulma, Krillin, and Trunks are the ones making the effort to stop Cell from reaching his perfect form. And it actually would be interesting to see if Goku was in Vegeta's shoes in that on...
