Re: Did parts 1-4 on dvd and blu ray got reprints with the replacement score?

So is there any way to tell if the part 1-4 Bluray sets available on Amazon are Kikuchi or Yamamoto? I have the original 1-4 on DVD but I was thinking of upgrading to Bluray, but I don't want the music to change. I guess I'll just stick with the DVD sets I have if getting the blurays is a huge hassle.

Re: Thematically speaking the Boo arc never should have gotten a Kai cut

But there's nothing stopping you from simply...watching the original Dragonball before watching DBZ Kai, though. The original Dragonball tended to have much more entertaining filler than the original DBZ, so it still holds up pretty well. And thanks to The Final Chapters, we can finally watch the en...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Since Goku and Vegeta are literally god-tier beings now, I really think they should be searching the twelve universes for unusually powerful opponents to challenge. They could have a system where Goku and Vegeta are off-world doing their own things, while the Earthlings handle smaller level threats...

Re: What happened to Oob?

Couldnt help myself replying. I agree Goku is popular, but even Goku has been multiple times side-lined to focus on other characters. Ex: Focus on Vegeta, Gohan & Krillin in Namek Arc while Goku was hospitalized on Earth, later was on spaceship to Namek Or Goku literally out-of-action for over ...

Re: Uub's role after EOZ

I take it you never watched Yu Yu Hakusho where the Dark Tournament was most of the manga and it was great. Saying that a tournament taking a place of a real arc is mind numbing. Especially when the original Dragon Ball had four tournament sagas with with two of them being low stakes. Also, the bes...

Re: What happened to Oob?

Goku gets the spotlight because he's the main character and the emotional core of the show. Changing it to someone else, and Uub of all characters, would be a big mistake this far in. Uub was never meant to replace Goku. Uub was meant to represent thematic closure for Goku and thus DB. You say that...

Re: Uub's role after EOZ

Dragon Ball has had a pretty simple winning formula ever since the Red Ribbon Arc, really (though it was more clearly defined starting with the King Piccolo arc). Have the heroes become entangled in some sort of hijinks that causes them to come across a bunch of incrementally-powered villains who ar...

Re: What happened to Oob?

They haven't been successfully replaced and been the better for it. You can temporarily get away with it like when Dick Grayson took the mantle from Bruce, but it doesn't work long term. You say it's a function of popularity, but the reason Goku is popular is because the audience is emotionally con...

Re: What happened to Oob?

You say that as though other stories haven't successfully replaced the hero with a successor. The reason it wouldn't work for DB is simply because Goku himself is too popular, not because a story focusing on characters other than Goku wouldn't work. Yeah, it would have a different emotional core, a...

Re: What happened to Oob?

Kuririn brought his antagonism that turned into an eventual best friendship. Videl brought an outsider's perspective to the group as well as the madcap "will they, won't they" romance aspect to the show that it didn't have before. Pan is Goku's granddaughter so there's a built in emotiona...

Re: The arrogant entrance of Future Trunks and Shin to DBZ

Well, the whole point of Shin was to show off the fact that the Saiyans had surpassed the supreme god of the universe without even realizing it (basically, AT had the complete opposite approach to divinity in DB/Z as he does now). So Shin was made out to be super confident around mortals so that he'...

I haven't seen the Broly movie yet, but BoG and RoF have such barebones plots that it baffles me that anyone would compare them to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. BoG is literally just "Beerus shows up out of nowhere and demands to fight the Super Saiyan God, Vegeta tries to keep him enterta...

Re: Is young Chi-Chi problematic?

Yeah I don't think she's sexual any more than, say, young Tarzan is sexual. Her design is meant to evoke a sort of wild barbarian feel. Only difference is that she's a female and men's brains are wired to automatically sexualize the female body no matter what.

Re: Is Ultra Instinct The *Final* Or *Ultimate* Powerup For Goku?

They can only recolor Goku's hair so many times. How many colors are even left? We just need green and we'll have one for all of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Re: Piccolo needs a new power-up

He never accepted his inferiority. You do realize that the last words in the entire manga, are Vegeta saying "I will surpass you one day Kakarot", right? Super is staying consistent with the character. He wants to surpass Goku, but it isn't the top priority to him. That's Vegeta's charact...

Re: What if Buu absorbed Gohan first?

Buu doesn't really need to surpass Vegetto, he just needs to be close enough that his candy beam will render Vegetto helpless. I assume the only reason that Vegetto maintained control of himself after being turned to candy was because of their immense difference in power, so if the difference was co...
