Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Right, Capsule Corp might have a hand in the non-manga, licensed material as well.

From a legal standpoint, Toriyama didn't have control over Dragon Ball. It stands to reason his son won't have any power either. It's up to Shueisha wether or not to honor Toriyama, creatively speaking.

We can and we will, despite my misgivings and even if I won't pay any mind to it.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

My rationale is that so many things wouldn't exist if we rigidly closed the book on stuff the second the founder dies or retires. I know, but by the same token, how many original things would exist instead, if they didn't play on someone else's sandbox? It's like a creative crutch, which invariably...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

He dies without establishing a canon, and as I have been saying here, this is going to open up a whole lot of cans of worm. Those who think only what Toriyama did is "valid/counts/is legit/is canonical" is going to either have to move on to another franchise or accept others' projects wit...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I think the best way to respect people's contributions to the zeitgeist is to make sure they outlive the flesh and blood humans who created them. Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster aren't with us anymore but Superman is. Gene Roddenberry isn't with us anymore but Star Trek is. William Shakespeare, Walt D...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

That there will be more Dragon Ball is evident. It's a very profitable franchise. But I personally won't really care about it. Sure, I'll play some video game that's based on the franchise if I feel like it, but as far as story goes, I won't watch or read anything to learn more about Dragon Ball, be...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World" Official Discussion Thread

Thanks for posting this, I was so confused! So do they plan on supporting both games simultaneously? Is this like YuGiOh and YuGiOh Rush Duels? No, it's like Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. Or do you mean Fusion World compared to Masters? I guess that's a fair comparison. And yes, both the...

"Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans" was. "Episode of Bardock" wasn't.

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans Remastered BD petition

I believe Episode of Bardock got released as an extra on a Xbox video game, my friend. That seems to indicate that Bandai has or had the rights to it, at least at that time. Same goes for Plan to eradicate the Saiyans, which got released along with Raging Blast 2. That's the only Western release th...

Unfinished?! It didn't have much content, but it was a finished game. I still play it from time to time.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World" Official Discussion Thread

Maybe not enough people who visit this forum are into it or care enough to discuss it here. Personally, I never got into Masters. I'm not sure if I'll get into this one either, but maybe I'll dip my toe and buy a couple of the starter decks, assuming they can work as a board game.
