Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
The first is that Marvel wasn't exactly a source for so many people's childhoods like Dragon Ball was. I mean, I know I never read Spider Man or cape comics in general as a kid With all due respect, I really don’t think you get just how popular Spider-Man in particular has been Maybe I'm just being...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
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.Dragon Ball Ireland wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 11:16 am

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
Not many deaths get me to shed tears, this is one of those exceptions with Robin Williams and Chadwick Boseman. I’m legit tearing up right now as I head into work, and my heart is genuinely in pieces. I’m just glad that he was able to come back to the series back in 2013 like he did, and helped remi...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
Also, I'm rewatching the first part of Totally Not Mark's retrospective on the Buu Saga. When did Goten ever pronounce it "Keme-kame-ha" instead of "Kame-hame-ha"? Was that in the English dub? I know Lani's mentioned that Goten did that, but when? I don't remember it. He explici...

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 geek...

Re: Do you like Super?
Yes, it overall got my friend formally into dragon ball, and I enjoyed being able to watch the Tournament of Power in particular alongside him as the arc went on. Besides that I found myself enjoying most of it. Only thing I was indifferent towards was the movie recaps, which even then, I still enjo...

Re: What IYO is the best and worst ending to a DB saga?
that whole convoluted plan of King Kai and Kami's that's being explained as Goku and Freeza are fighting. What was convoluted about it? Logically they have to use both sets of Dragon Balls to resurrect everyone and get them to safety. Don't know if convoluted was the right word. But yeah, using two...

I’m glad to see more people mentioning the date change. That undoubtedly had an effect on the film’s performance.

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). He gets an actual chin for one, his ten...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
A stand out example of this can be seen in the Goku Black/Future Trunks arc. The writers went out of their way to establish that Trunks doesn't stand a chance against base Black no matter what. Then all of a sudden Trunks is fending off and getting hit's on SSJR Black. All of the tension built up f...

Re: Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4/Switch/Xbox One/Steam)
The other reason is Sony isn't very liked in Japan right now and this was demonstrated by the fact Microsoft sold a lot better in the land of the rising sun than Sony has. In fact the PS5 sold extremely poorly in Japan and many game devs are trying to just wait out their contracts with Sony so they...

I would say the way she reacts to Barry Kahn’s attempt to frame Gohan for infidelity is a good example of the fierceness she still hasDemon Prince Piccolo wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 5:08 pm What does Videl actually do in Super to show any fierceness, though?

Re: Opinions on the original Funi Dragon Ball dub
A bit unrelated, but I’m starting to come to the conclusion that anime dubs and dubs in general might as well not exist. Parasite demonstrated that English speaking audiences are perfectly capable of watching something with subtitles, and dubs pretty much always have to bear the stigma of not livin...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
In the context of the movie, the purpose of showing the backstory of the Saiyans was most likely to highlight the contrast between Goku, Vegeta and Broly’s respective upbringings. And honestly, I’d say it’s even more than “most likely” in that regard. The second trailer that released before the fil...

I mean entire Goku crying thing was silly, but at least there was ANY reason for their fight. New movie just puts Goku there to fight Broly for no reason. They wanted revenge on ...
