Re: Is Future Trunks' purple hair part of a possible scrapped idea?

Yeah the fact that Trunks in his original blue jacket looks way better with purple hair (not to mention the clear blue sky in that scene makes it harder for the hair to stand out) is probably the biggest factor in their decision. Also I had forgotten that they course corrected in Super Hero and gave...

Is Future Trunks' purple hair part of a possible scrapped idea?

In the manga version of the series, Trunks (both versions) and Bulma always have the same hair colour whenever they're both depicted in the same drawing, for the best example of this we have the volume 32 front cover with all 3 of them depicted with blue hair. Now when it comes to Dragon Ball Super ...

Who can and can't breathe in space?

I was randomly thinking about how cool the scene of Bardock charging against Freeza's army to get to the ship is but then it hit me, how was he just breathing in space like that? Not to mention the rest of Freeza's army flew straight out of the ship without a second thought. Obviously the answer is ...

Re: When are you guys going to watch Broly?

I am both shocked and incredibly thrilled that not only is my local cinema playing the film but that it is playing it subtitled (in fact it's only playing the movie subbed which is crazy), when i had heard that the American screenings were not going to be in Japanese w/subs I had given up all hope o...

Re: Would you like for the new HD Remasters of the Movies & Tv Series to be Multi language?

Meh, don't really need it as I am confident these releases will be licensed by international distributors anyway, and if MangaUK get this from Funimation I look forward to supporting them (as I'm doing with Super) so they can keep putting out more Dragon Ball. Hmm, now that I think about it, didn't...

Re: How did Broly know Kakarrot's name in the first place?

A baby can't understand a single word, except if you are Jesus. Broly was strong for sure, but he was still a baby just like Kewkewrot. He wasn't more intelligent or w/e. The only time Broly could hear Goku's Saiyan name was when Vegeta came back from planet Todokama, Goku was sitting on a hallway ...

How did Broly know Kakarrot's name in the first place?

Broly is said to have been traumatised by the sound of Goku crying as a baby, and he specifically has an aversion to "Kakarrot" but how did he even know the name of the baby which was in the crib next to him? Did Paragus learn it for whatever reason and tell him about it? I know that the c...

Why did Toriyama never move to a monthly format?

Toriyama has always complained of how taxing it was to write 2 long-running weekly series, and when he wrote the Jaco manga he tried to write it in a weekly format which he also had trouble with at his age, so I wonder why he never moved to writing for a monthly magazine, Shueisha has a few in the S...

How come Devilman (1972) has higher-quality audio than DB/DBZ?

I was watching the 1972 Devilman anime by Toei and noticed that despite being made in 1972 and despite being handled by Toei Animation, the audio was of a very high quality level, the sound was very full sounding and crisp unlike the muffled audio that you get for the official releases of DB/DBZ.

British fan here and after seeing some great videos of Kamehacon I'm wondering if the Japanese voice actors for the series have ever made an appearance at a UK convention?

Re: If there is a new series, what title would you suggest?

They might call it something like Dragon Ball Gold or Dragon Ball Plus (given we've had DB Minus) or even Dragon Ball X (which would be way cheesier than Super) Dragon Ball Final? If they want people to really tune in then yes, but if they aren't gonna set it past the actual end of the manga then it...

Re: 3 Main DB Canons Theory

I also did other things like put DBK in the modern Toei canon over DBZ but if I wanted to list every ...

I'm not just thinking in terms of like "because Jiren would kill everyone in less than a minute" I mean more like what are Toriyama and Toyotaro's reasons for keeping them alive, does it mean they want a happy ending of all the universes being restored with all their contestants still aliv...

Why have a "no-killing" rule in the ToP?

If their universe is going to be erased as a result of losing then they may as well just let contestants kill each other surely? I'm guessing that this no-killing rule has to be implemented so that all the other universes can be wished back at the end of this arc with no bittersweet missing dead con...

They're a great pair when they play off eachother, I wish the writers for the show had done more of that, but we have yet to see how they'll play out in the manga. Caulifla is a true battle-crazy Saiyan who should have gotten more interactions with Vegeta honestly because if he thought Cabba was an ...

It does for me. It bothers me that the Saiyajin have completely different transformations that are nothing alike.
Does Vegeta's explanation of Bruits Waves back in the Saiyan arc not explain it enough?
