Re: Why do people like loooooooooooong fights?

I would say that Freeza's arc came to an end when he was defeated by Goku. He's a minor antagonist at the beginning of a new story. Trunks killing Freeza wasn't the climax.

I'm not saying Trunks killing Freeza is part of the Freeza arc. It's not. I'm saying there's no clear, defining break for ...

Re: Why do people like loooooooooooong fights?

The fight against Frieza was the longest, and best fight in the series.
I know personal preference and all that, but I really can't see how anybody could think this. For the topic, unless it's the last fight in the series, it should be no more then 5 episodes.
That's the thing though, a good ...

Re: Why do people like loooooooooooong fights?

Goku vs Freeza is a perfectly paced fight, up to the transformation. Then it suffered from being a great fight that already had length to demanding an extended payoff of SSJ Goku going to town on Freeza. Though I always view the Freeza fight as a potential series ending fight so I don't mind it as ...

Re: The Top 13 Best Dragon Ball Z Fights

Goku vs Freeza
Goku vs Piccolo Jr
Goku vs Vegeta

Whatever order. Those are the three best fights in the series. Not even particularly close. Maybe you could argue the Beerus fight sneaks up in there.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions



-If Revival of F was replace with Cooler and didn't have Toriyama's name associated with it then it would be considered one of the worst DBZ movies of all time.
It already is. (At least on Kanzenshuu).
I meant that I don't think it would've had much support if Toei used the same premise but ...

Re: Why people always make fun of yamcha ?

Yamcha had one good fight against Goku very earlier in the series.. then.

-He lost to Roshi in the first round of the tournament. To set up Goku's fight with him.
-He lost to the Mummy at Baba's place. To set up Goku's fight with him.
-He lost to Tenshinhan in the first round of the tournament ...

Re: Roshi is very weak for a guy training for over 300 years

He didn't have the same benefits of his students. He didn't get to train with Kami. He didn't have someone who could teach him the Kamehameha. He was the first we know of to climb Korin's tower. And he was old when we met him.

Goku and the others got to be trained by the only man alive that is ...

Re: Best Point(s) in the Series?

From the moment Tao fights Goku to the conclusion of the Freeza arc are the most "pure" the series ever was. Before that it was just finding it's footing and discovering itself. After that it was sort of existing just because it was still popular.

-I'd say the whole Tao portion of the Red Ribbon ...

Re: Do you want Dragon Ball to continue indefinitely?

It doesn't matter and fans should just take the continuity they like as their own personal canon and leave everything else to the people who want to keep going and keep taking the product as it's released.

If you are a purist, the manga exists. If you live by the Toonami run, that still exists. If ...

Re: What happens when Masako Nozawa passes away in the futur

They'll get someone to imitate her close enough that most won't pick up on subtle differences. Some will complain. Whatever, it's how this stuff goes. Hopefully this is a far in the future thing.

Re: Was Android 20 intended to be Dr. Gero?

I have no proof, but I think so. Dr. Gero was a never before seen character that we were hearing was the real mastermind behind the Red Ribbon army, who hated Goku enough to study him for years, and created Androids that would plunge the world into chaos. It makes very little sense to have that arc ...

Re: Why was Roshi uncomfortable? DBZ EP 96

More foreshadowing that the SSJ state is something that alters and heightens the personality of the Saiyan who transformed than anything else. Which is essentially what happens.

It works on a kid who can kind of have the whole monkey boy thing going on. For an adult, unless you are really planning on utilizing the moon, it doesn't have much of use.

Re: DB and DBZ: Parts vs Whole

Thing is right, the whole series is called Dragonball right? So, start from the beginning to the end. That's why I hate the divide, it gives the misconception that the both are different in so many ways.

Thing is, right, the tone shifted very very slowly. If you were watching or reading the whole ...

Re: 4:3 vs 16:9 poll

Depends. The orange brick crops were horrendous and actively hurt the experience. It feels like you are looking at something out of a peephole. The Bluray crops were far less offensive, and while noticeable in some areas don't gut the scenes. I'm not too much of a stickler so whatever looks best. If ...

Re: Is Movie 10 the new Movie 11?

The original Broly movie was great. Solid plot, unique ideas, there were good character moments (Vegeta having a meltdown), good use of the Saiyans and Piccolo.

The next two Broly movies could have substituted a new villain and the movie would be better for it. They were just capitalizing off ...

Re: Thoughts on Red Ribbon Army Arc

One of the best arcs. The most diverse set of villains and locations. Fleshes out the world more than any other arc. It put Goku in more situations than any other point in the series. It wasn't just a back and forth story of "strong villain, need to get stronger to beat them". It was there in the ...
