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: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor
So I noticed that a lot of people in the anime community consider One Piece "Dragon Ball's spiritual successor". What do you guys think about this? I get where people are coming from cuz One Piece really does feel like Dragon Ball. Excpt its not. DB is unique Its got likable characters, r...

Re: Why doesn't the series appeal as an adventure series?
Pilaf Arc didnt have great villain & was more of homage of Journey to West I dont understand what u mean with RRA Arc. Its fantastic Arc among top tiers of DB/DBZ I dont consider the other "series" u mentioned as a topic worth talkin. Adventure done right was RRA, Goku's solo training ...

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...

Tbh, it was when Goku and Kid Buu duked it out at Kaioshin Realm Its not abt look or feelin powerful. Its abt the struggle Goku was goin all-out as SSJ2 for whole episode then as SSJ3 for 2 episodes...and Kid Buu was simply too much...every blows/hits felt impactful & that point in anime made it...

Goku and the other Saiyans can't be Asians because they come from a different planet with different continents. However, yeah, it makes sense for Goku to be coded as East Asian. Aslo, are there really people who actually say shit like "Goku is a white person"? Your way of growing-up deter...

Re: Not seeing Final Form - good idea?
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...
