Kanzenshuu

Old man yelling at cloud. Toriyama could have a broom as an editor and he would still have become successful. Dr slump and DB would still have become big with or without Torishima. Fans need too stop gaslighting themselves into believing he made Dragon Ball big lol.





Any editor could have ...

You could assume that Western children are simply less of a priority in Torishima’s eyes. Or perhaps his opposition really does have something to do with the Saudi government and he just doesn’t want to openly say it.


It's something called ''National Pride''.
Dragon Ball is a National Treasure ...

Art is political and DB does carry poliitical messages (anti militarism and anti totalitarianism, I mean Freeza is a landlord tycoon after all XD)


This is completely false and not at all how Toriyama thought. There is no political message in DB, as confirmed by Torishima himself who said that ...

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask some of the more knowledgeable among you: What is going on with DB's conflicting sales figures?
Like why is it all of a sudden 260m now? When in the 2000s there were multiple sources like Fuji TV, Toei, Shueisha, Oricon etc. confirming that DB had sold 350m ...

I’ve been basically grieving for the past 2-3 days. Couldn’t even do anything I usually do.
I didn’t even dare listen to any DB song/opening.
I was just checking out people, famous mangaka etc. on twitter paying their respects to Toriyama.
Checking various sites but mostly the sticky thread on /a ...

Do you remember any timeslots Kohavision aired Dragon Ball on? Was it shown weekdays or weekends? Did Z or GT ever air?


Man that's a long time ago but I'm pretty sure it was aired daily in the mornings. There were only 3 main channels RTK(National Government channel), KTV/Kohavision and RTV21 ...

As per VegettoEX , Movie 14 would happen with or without Toriyama, so I think by now Toriyama can't say "no" anymore to whatever project they decide to do.


Without Toriyama's approval DB Super would have completely flopped like GT did.
His name alone fooled many into giving Super Manga/Anime a ...

Toriyama's loose reign over the story has the disadvantage of anyone making their own version, It's why the Abridged series worked out, and its popularity means it can be considered canon (and in some respects it is actually funnier than what Toriyama came up with).


I cringed so hard.

TFS is ...

I took that scene as "I'm actually not interested in being a fucking perv like these two", not as "I'm not interested in spying on naked girls, therefore I must be gay"


Pretty much this.

Trunks is a very stereotypical "handsome"(Kakoii)-type character from the 80s and 90s.
His type is the cool ...

For those that don't know the Albanian Dragon Ball dub by "Jess" Discographic is notorious for being produced illegally without a license from TOEI.

This dub, based off Funimation's version was recorded between 2005 and 2016, although it's not the only attempt at dubbing Dragon Ball in Albanian ...

RIP to this unforgettable legend.
Hopefully he's in a better place now.

Bleach and Burn the Witch


Lol what is this 2010? Nobody cares about Bleach or Kubo's new series.
People would rather read Togashi's napkin scribbles.



I don’t quite understand this bizarre trend of fans saying Dragon Ball wouldn’t hold up to modern shonen anime and then simp over unwatchable ...

Honestly I don't believe DB (Pre-DBZ, not the whole manga) could survive in nowadays Weekly Shonen Jump. There's barely anything impressive about it.


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha.
Oh man this has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read in my life ...

Matsui Aya is the only female writer that we know of to have worked on the cartoon series. None of the series directors have been women, either, and only one of the episode directors--Ishitani Megumi--was a woman and that was for the last episode of Super (save for uncredited work as an assistant ...

chichi lle allowed goten to train for the money ... with gohan too...
in buu arc ... they were all dead and she couldn't do anything
gohan doesn't even train for the 7 years


No, she trained Goten before that and allowed him to fight with Trunks all the time.
She would have never allowed Gohan ...

is the excuse that she has always had since z ....
The argument of chichi training to goten is irrelevant ... since someone as weak as her is not able to teach her much ..
goten didn't even know how to fly
because from the battle with cell ... and the subsequent one with buu goku realized that he ...

When I think about his character, it's through an anime lense, so I picture him as being the falsely-grumpy uncle of the family. Nothing worse.


No, that's literally what he is by Cell/Boo.
AT just changed him drastically even though it doesn't makes sense continuity-wise whatsoever and the ...

You replying to that Original Post just reminded me of how well those points were expressed. I had forgotten.

"the narrative bends over so nobody has an issue with him"
I think this encapsules the main issue. Yes, Vegeta was evil and he didn't try that much to pretend he wasn't. What is ...

It's ridiculous how the author interprets the word "disastrous" in such a one-dimensional manner.
Yes, Goku is a disastrous father as in an incompetent one. Just because he means well(and even succeeds at times) doesn't make him not disastrous and vice-versa just because he's disastrous doesn't mean ...

Seriously this happens on both the Cell and Buu arcs.

He spends the whole Cell arc either being apathetic or beating up Future Trunks.

He punches him when he Trunks tries to stop him from charging his death,tells him to his face he would not care if his wife and kid died(and he backs it up by ...
