Re: What would've been the best way to do an "Evil Gokuu" arc?

Bardock being granted the ability to see into the future ties into the greater theme of the special, which is that you can’t fight fate. Bardock is tortured with the knowledge of what’s in store for planet Vegeta and desperately tries to stop it, but completely fails to do so. It’s not dissimilar to ...

Re: What would've been the best way to do an "Evil Gokuu" arc?

To be frank, Tullece isn’t nearly as popular as Broly. He has his fans, but even prior to Goku Black, he had been largely overshadowed by Bardock.

Re: What would've been the best way to do an "Evil Gokuu" arc?


I'm not a fan of the "race is naturally evil" thing in fiction, especially not when we're dealing with nominally human-appearing characters like the Saiyans. General undercooked storytelling aside, I like that the Dragon Ball Super: Broly telling of Son Goku's origin shows us a Bardock who was ...

Re: What would've been the best way to do an "Evil Gokuu" arc?

I would’ve said that the best way to do Evil Goku would be to have a version of Goku who never hit his head as baby, but then I realized that’s basically what Tullece is supposed to represent.

Also, post Minus , the idea that Goku would’ve been especially evil without his head injury doesn’t hold ...

Re: Bulma’s Hair Color


I don’t get why it’s so important that Trunks has the same hair color as Bulma.

Well, the obvious answer is because that's the intent.

If anything, giving him purple hair while Bulma has blue hair helps make the reveal that he’s her son less obvious.

Nothing is spoiled. His hair is as much ...

Re: Brian Drummond's Re-Evaluation

If I recall, Brian Drummond did change up his performance a bit for the U.K. era dub. You can still tell it’s him, but he has less of that snake like hissing quality to his voice.

Re: Trunks should've been the hero of the Cell arc

The anime version of the ToP felt very drawn out and tedious to me when I watched it, but the manga version sort of has the opposite problem, where it’s pretty barebones and seems kinda rushed. The fact that a good chunk of the eliminations in the manga either happen offscreen or as a result of Kale ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I’m pretty sure all the emphasis that post-revival Dragon Ball has placed (and continues to place on) on “this is all Akira Toriyama’s vision” is an overcorrection in response to the relative failure of GT . GT was and still is disregarded by much of the fandom as a “non-canon” waste of time that ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions



If we’re comparing Dragon Ball to something like Power Rangers, I’d put Power Rangers on a lower caliber compared to Dragon Ball. Much of Power Rangers is honestly something that appeals to 5 or 6 year olds, while Dragon Ball always seemed much closer to the pre-teen demographic.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I keep forgetting about Devilman. It’s weird that they’d be secretive about him of all characters, unless he’s not actually playable.

I know a lot of people were apparently hoping for GT Goten, but I can’t say I’m the least bit surprised that he isn’t here. I consider it much more disappointing ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I wasn’t expecting them to go all in for the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Looks like even Tenshinhan’s pre- Z self is getting his own character slot. It’s an interesting idea, though it’s odd that they apparently excluded Cyborg Tao.

Also, damn, Cynthia Cranz sounds really old nowadays. It’s really ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I think I’ve actually come around to Might Mask’s being in this game if they really are going to treat him as an alternate Gotenks. Goku and Vegeta have two alternate fusion options, so it makes sense to do the same for Goten and Trunks. Hell Fighter 17’s inclusion is still lame, though.

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff

Were the “lost episodes” dubbed later than the rest of the show? I was under the impression that FUNimation dubbed them first, but simply held off on releasing them until after the rest of the show already aired.

I would think this game already had enough variants of #17. I don’t see why they needed to add a particular version that I’m pretty sure no one was asking for. I get that it obviously didn’t require much resources, since the assets were already there, but it still seems like a waste ...
