Does DB Super 39 "de-canonize" Other World Tournament?

*Spoilers*: This post references the events in Dragon Ball Super Episode 39 *Spoilers* *Spoilers* Does Goku using Kaioken with Super Saiyan Blue completely contradict the Other World Tournament (Japanese: Ano-yo'ichi Budōkai)? I'm not sure how accurate the subs are, but Goku seems to state that usi...

French soccer player tributes Dragon Ball during a match.

Last night, André Gignac (French soccer player) did a tribute to Dragon Ball for its 30th anniversary. Firstly, he died his hair blonde for just the game. Then, after scoring the winning goal, he does a "Super Saiyan Power-Up" pose, followed by a Kamehameha. After the game, he told the Mex...

Stunning trailer for the Saiyan Saga

'Exos Anime' is widely known in the Spanish anime community (particularly among DB fans) for his professionally made trailers for various animes. His favourite series is Dragon Ball, so he made trailers for each saga. I have to say, his "re-release" trailer for the Saiyan Saga is maybe the...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

At 9:58= a re-mix of Trunk's theme from the rare Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout (PS1). That's amazing.

Re: Is the relationship between Chris Sabat & the Cast strai

Isn't Sabat their boss though (since he's the voice director)? They probably wouldn't even be able to joke about something like that with their boss if they weren't on good terms. Chris Sabat also seems like a nice guy in all his interviews. Yeah, I was mostly referring to their relationship with e...

Is the relationship between Chris Sabat & the Cast strained?

Has anyone noticed this on the DVDs/Blu Rays? On both the Battle of Gods & Resurrection F releases, I noticed more than a few awkward moments between the cast and Chris Sabat that strongly suggest they don't really get along and sort of have it in for Sabat. Particularly during those "FUNI-...

Does "God Form" allow you to breathe in space?

Does "God Form" allow you to breathe in space?

I'm wondering if Vegeta would have survived breathing in space as a Super Saiyan God.

Wait...I thought that "God Form" allowed you to breathe in Space. That's why Beerus and Goku could do it in Battle of Gods. So, Vegeta would have survived. Am I wrong?

Re: What is the opinion of the dbz movies?

Honestly, perspective matters. I could give "Revival of F" an 8/10. But it's a 15/10 compared to any DBZ film prior to that. But, like someone wrote on this thread, you can't really look at Movies 1-13 vs. the 2 new ones. Their intentions are completely different. I could argue that movies...

Do you think TOEI should make a 3rd film for "Universe 6"?

Both 'Battle of Gods' & 'Resurrection F' have been a huge success worldwide. It just seems to me that a 3rd major film is inevitable. Also, TOEI seems committed to making the new films "canon". If TOEI continue to follow that trend, it seems that the only possible story they can tell i...

Re: What is it that allows DBZ to appeal to older audiences?

I always found it interesting how, in Dragon Ball, the adult characters act like logical, intelligent adults. More importantly, these adults treat kids like kids. When I started to watch more anime (years ago), I realized how different this is from some shonen anime. In so many shows, the entire uni...

Re: Nostalgia - A powerful force

I even dropped One Piece for good. I started to realize that most shows geared towards teens, pre-teens, etc. Sorry for off-topic, but It is really the shame you did. It brings up a lot of important themes. Right now. Of-course anime is pretty horrible mostly after time-skip, but you could at least...

Re: Nostalgia - A powerful force

I feel that, whether people realize it or not, nostalgia is pretty much the driving force of an adult fan's appreciation for DBZ. Dragon Ball Z isn't exactly a literary masterpiece. Its writing is subpar at best, even when you compare it to other series of its kind. As kids, we didn't care about th...

Re: Are BoG and RoF dragging the series downhill?

I agree. I hope the animation improves though. At least by the Universe 6 arc. With that, it'll be easy to ignore the BOG & ROF arcs in favour of the films.

Re: Film Analysis of "Resurrection F"

By the way, I saw the film again. And I was impressed by the psychology of the final battle. You actually have to pay attention to it, since most of its details are expressed visually, not verbally. Observations: Final Battle Strategy during: Goku vs. Golden Frieza. Round 2. Almost immediately after...

Re: Thematic Analysis of "Resurrection F"

I can see that as a good explanation for his actions in the early Buu arc, but his Cell Games self more often than not did things purely by not thinking any of it through even when he was clearly having the advantage. The best example of that is his battle with second form Cell, there he's perfectl...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection '

I have a question. Is the Blue Super Saiyan God supposed to be more powerful than the Red Super Saiyan God? I ask because, in the dub, they basically just say that this Ki is Goku's own. As if it turning "Red" was just a product of everyone else's Ki in BOG. Before seeing the film, I heard...
