Re: Unpopular DB opinions


That wasn't my reading. I don't think it was saying Gohan was neglecting his training. He's just not doing it from sun up to sundown.


That’s similar to what I got out of it. Gohan was doing enough training to keep his body in shape and wasn’t weaker but his warrior mindset/instinct was becoming ...

tired of that "power draining" excuse that was used all over DBS, yet they had no problem achieving SSB which apparently draining power too.

Worth noting that this is yet another anime-only thing. The DBS manga (i.e. the more coherent version of Super) doesn't show Goku having any stamina ...

Re: Do New Forms Actually Sell Merchandise?



Regarding Super Saiyan God, in the above mentioned interview Toriyama spells out what even acquiring the form means for Goku (the basic gist of which Goku also says himself in the film, if I remember correctly):
Goku basically only thinks of fighting as a sporting match, so borrowing the power ...

Re: the kaioshin-destroyer god link creates a lot of problems



If I recall correctly, the only explanation Super gave for this link to exist outside of Zamasu saga, was that this was the reason for Beerus to seal the Ro Kaioshin inside the Z Sword, so no one would be able to kill him, and Ro Kaioshin was the one connected to Beerus before East Kaioshin. So ...

Re: Am I the only Gohan fan who hates Beast?


From DB to GT we basically got 4 major power up forms with SSJ1-4, making each form mean something and have some kind of impact. That's 4 forms in 12 years.

In DBS we got 4 major forms with SSG, SSGSS, Ultra instinct and Beast. That's 4 forms in 4-5 years. They got churned out and quickly didn't ...

Re: Why Crunchyroll refuses to do subbed theatrical screenings of DB anime/film material in the United States?

As mentioned by VegettoEX, they literally had both dubbed and subbed screenings for Super Hero, and I can attest to it, since my friend and I went to go see the subbed version. The same thing was done for DBS Broly, so, with all due respect, it’s nothing to do with nonsense like “they think the ...

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



- What-Ifs are a tradition in these games; I'm not a big fan of SSJ Goku in the Saiyan arc because it breaks my headcanon that SSJ is triggered not only by great rage but also by the battle power he had in the Namek arc. Father-Son Final Flash seems to be something interesting.

Seriously y'all enough with the "Goku put the multiverse at risk with his lust for battle". It just flat out isn't true because, again Zeno was planning on wiping the lot of them out before that.


This is true... IN THE MANGA.

In the anime, it's not like that at all. This was only stated ...

Resurrection F it was said that Toriyama wrote the script, but that's doubtful.
Don’t have too much of a horse in this race, but this in particular isn’t really doubtful. Volume F, a supplementary guidebook for Resurrection F, includes the original script/screenplay written by Toriyama.

Re: What are the best episode and scenes in DBS



I haven't kept up with the Manga, but if I take the movie at face value it's strongly implied he hasn't been training much at all outside of learning the Makankosappo/Special Beam cannon.

The movie portays him as a straight up slacker. He's not focusing on his scholar work or family, he's just ...

Re: The lack of new transformations in DBS is surprising


Also, I'd argue that Super Buu with Gotenks absorbed and Super Buu with Ultimate Gohan absorbed are the same, I don't recall him changing appearances from one to another except for his clothes (changing clothes doesn't constitute a transformation in my book).
