Re: How was Raditz planning on taking Goku back, in a tiny spacepod that only fits one person?
「一人用のポッドでか?」 (hitoriyou no poddo de ka?) - Broly in a million memes (and in the original movie, of course) :) I just assume Raditz could request a pod or two to be sent to Earth from some nearby-ish station or outpost or whatever if he needed to. Technically headcanon, I guess, but it's not exactly ...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I can't believe Akira Toriyama is fucking dead. I know that's a meme sentence, but it's 4:30am for me right now and this is so unreal to me that I just... I don't even know how to process this. I genuinely can't believe it. Just like that, he's gone... I'll have to write something more proper in the...

Re: Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread
That was... something. Kinda felt like I was watching an in-game cutscene, to be honest. Which isn't an inherently bad stylistic choice, it just feels weird after 50 episodes of "regular" animation. The episode itself really wasn't very captivating though, I almost felt like I was watching...

Re: Have any of your Dragon Ball fanfictions (or part thereof) became a reality?
Should I resurrect my old General Fan Fiction Thread? :P I used to have a list of sorts for things I put into Dragon Ball Ultimate that also popped up in Super later. It ranged from simple things like the time chamber getting fixed post-Buu to bigger things like an arc being based around a fighting ...

Re: Would you feel confident in the series if it were left in Toyotarou's hands?
Right now, probably not. I trust him with it more than I do Toei (even if Toyotaro also has some Toei-isms in him), but if Toriyama was to drop dead this instant and Toyotaro had to take over immediately, I wouldn't consider him "fully trained to take over". Personally I think he can still...

Re: Why does Vegeta still call himself Prince?
I feel like this is one of those topics where people won't truly be satisfied until Toriyama is sat down and forced by an editor or Toyotaro or whoever to thoroughly explain it :P Personally I go with the headcanon that's already been mentioned in here plenty of times, that he's frozen the title in ...

Re: Humans - wasted potential in movies
Yeah, I have to agree. With some (most) of the old Toei movies, it was like they came up with a basic idea and character cast, and then pressed what they had through the same mould every time, leading to characters always having the same roles because "they were supposed to", probably becu...

Re: So was Piccolo planning on killing Frost and taking the disqualification?
He was planning on missing Frost's vital organs (all of them!) :P Frieza was durable enough to live through cutting himself in half, and I think that Piccolo must have been brought up to speed about how that part of the battle on Namek went at some point or other. It's reasonable to assume that Fros...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Saitama would probably beat Goku, because it would be funny. Goku would probably go through all his forms one by one and get clowned on in a comedic fashion all the way up. At the same time, Saitama would almost definitely lose against Yamcha, because it would be funny.

Re: Moro arc vs Granolah arc
In my opinion, the Moro arc is Super's best arc, even if it is "derivative" or whatever, while the Granolah arc just stops appealing to me once it stops being about Granolah. I actually don't think I've ever enjoyed reading Dragon Ball less than during the Gas portion of the arc. The Moro ...

Re: What would DB fandom look like now if there was no post GT content?
I mean, you're already aware of Sailor Moon's situation, so... The Dragon Ball fandom would be a lot like the Sailor Moon fandom is now (minus Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos but all that kinda has the same status within the SM fandom as DB Kai has within the DB fandom I think), a mainly dormant fandom where...

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread
What if Zamasu had waited a year and stolen Goku's body post Granolah arc? Personally I believe that Goku Black would never be able to achieve Ultra Instinct, neither Sign nor silver, because he doesn't have the mind for it. (As a separation of body and mind thing, maybe Goku's body would straight ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread
There's some pretty obvious shifts in sketch quality on a couple of Piccolo panels (top panel page 1, and especially middle panel page 6). Suddenly there's way fewer chicken scratches in some areas. Toriyama corrections, maybe? (or they just started cleaning up those panels early )

Re: Fusions you wanna see in DBS
Unpopular opinion I guess, but I actually want to see the end of fusions in DBS (this mainly applies to Goku and Vegeta to be fair). I want them to reach a point where fusion breaks (like Vegito Blue) the moment they try to go full power, or where it through some other means (like lack of UI/UE acce...

Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?
DBS manga Future Trunks did pull out a kind of FPSS2 to match Goku's SS3. That doesn't mean he did the whole staying relaxed while transformed thing, obviously, there's no guarantee it functions the same way, but he did experiment with the form in some way at least. On the other hand, SS3 is an inhe...
