Re: Dragon Ball influences in other anime's scenes or other manga's panels

Thanks for your reply and for the image

This thread is not for compiling every DB influence in the world but only in another anime/manga (not western products) and only influences from specific scenes/panels.

I mean, Luffy's personality is similar to Goku's. Same with Naruto. Even Hakufu Sonsaku ...

Dragon Ball influences in other anime's scenes or other manga's panels

I have just watched Chapter 11 of 1996s anime Rurouni Kenshin and… put this video from 2:33 to 2:58

https://youtu.be/8ZG25sDGoIQ?si=ChT8pbtU7oitvUFT

I think that scene is strongly influenced by a scene from 1990s Bardock special (I guess all of you know what I am talking about).

Another scene ...

Re: What's Canon ? We Finally Have an Answer

I think it makes quite a bit of sense.

I’ve never seen an official canon for Dragon Ball. Before 2008, it seemed like common sense that the canon was the manga, since it was created by Toriyama, but not the anime, since that was by Toei. It also seemed clear that Neko Majin wasn’t part of the ...

Re: Toriyama's change of heart regarding Vegeta

All we know without doubt is here:

Apart from this source, I think Vegeta was used when Yuu Kondo was Toriyama's editor because Kondo thought Vegeta will be useful to reach the goal of girl becoming DB fans.

Re: How would you have made GT ?

I have already written about the first saga but then I hadn't ideas to rewrite other sagas. Let me try:

Baby saga:

1. Baby can't possess stronger characters, so he can't possess only pure humans. Then, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Piccolo and Bra weren't possessed. Obb is pure human ...

Re: How would you have made GT ?

I love this thread. I start:

About main characters (the good guys):

1) Goku would have the same clothes he already wears in GT, but he wouldn't turned into a kid.
2) Vegeta's design would be without moustache and same hair, and he would still train.
3) Pan would reach SSJ and her personality ...

Sorry for the delay in replying. I know there is an edit button but every post can only have a limited number of characters and it was imposible to put all the info in one post. But you may be right about it should be in fanworks. If so, mods would move it, I guess

Re: Dragon Ball Super is Not Modern Anymore

Oh, please, there wasn't need to apologize!! In any case thank you for explaining me. I understand now and it has all sense.

Dragon Ball's first manga chapters was published 41 years ago, they are old. In 2066, DBS would be 41 years old, so it will be strange to call it new DB then. It makes all ...

I am not sure I understand the point of the thread, maybe because English is not my first language but I guess the point is:

Dragon Ball GT ended in 1998 (it actually ended in november 1997 but Julie said 1998 because it was an aproximation). That old DB era (1984-1998) was very differnt from ...

Re: Do you think you will always enjoy Dragon Ball?

Al least I guess I'll partially enjoy, but for me, after DBSB, the franchise died for me. Despite of that I watched Daima but I feel that modern DB is dissapointing to me in general terms but I like the past century DB and I'll always enjoy.

But I currently enjoy DB in a meta-sense more. I love to ...

I don't know, but he said in an interview he played Super Famicon:

And I guess having both a SFC and a Megadrive is not statistically common, so I think he hadn't a Megadrive.

I think is anime filler because I also watched this scene in latin-american Spanish dub before posting here (I also wondered about dubsim), and Zarbon said the same.

Re: Could Dr. Gero have been inspired by Dr. Robotnik?

I don't think so, is only some coincidence. Robotnik turn animals into robots and Gero did the same with A-17 and A-18 but technich is different, because animals were trapped into the robot while A-17 and A-18 didn't.

Differences are more numerous than coincidences this time.

However, I think ...
