Re: What Happened to Pamput and the other Dragon Ball Warrio
You're also forgetting its a what....10+ year gap between those tournaments and when Mr. Satan appeared during the Cell saga? Also the tournaments were stopped after Piccolo nearly killed everyone, so that also has to do with it. True, the tournaments were gone but the old warriors were still alive...

What Happened to Pamput and the other Dragon Ball Warriors?
Now I know Dragon Ball fans have talked about how big of a head scratcher/ plot hole it is for the world to believe that flight, ki and the intense battles of the past are just "tricks." But this still irks me. Not because the Z world is dumb enough to believe Mr. Satan, but because early ...

Re: DB and DBZ - How different are they?
DB is about a boy (then man) fighting. DBZ is about an alien fighting. For me the split makes sense because it's the separation where Goku goes from possibly human to definitely alien. But is that difference even noticeable? Goku behaves the same (enjoys fighting, eats a lot of food, is really irre...

Re: DB and DBZ - How different are they?
I think the DB/ DBZ split makes some sense though it's not necessary. People reading the manga for example just read Dragon Ball all the way through. As for what makes DB and DBZ different: DB is about a boy (then man) fighting. DBZ is about an alien fighting. For me the split makes sense because it...

Re: Kanzenshuu User Survey RESULTS!
Here are the results! Also, apologies for using the English titles. I normally type out the Japanese titles but it's a lot easier to type "Tree of Might" than it is to type out "The Super Decisive Battle for Earth". So without further ado here are the results with 160 responses....

Re: Your head cannon for Dragon Ball
For me it's:
Bardock: Father of Goku
Dragon Ball anime
Dragon Ball Z anime (+ History of Trunks special)
Battle of Gods movie
Resurrection F movie
???
EoZ
As of right now the ??? consists of the Universe 6 arc of Super that's about to come but I assume more will be added as Super continues.

Re: Explaining away plotholes created by Toei filler so it w
Cooler saying Goku's base form is enough to make him understand how Frieza had trouble with him: Goku was using an invisible KKx10 just like against Frieza.

How Strong Could Goku Get If...
Imagine if Goku was never wished back to life and stayed in Otherworld forever. How strong would he be after another 10 years of training? What about 100 years of training? 1,000 years? 1,000,000 years? And for this thread let's assume that Beerus doesn't exist so this is the manga. No BoG or RoF. F...

Re: Videl 2.0 Discussion
I think the change is ok and natural and it also remains me how obsessed the fanbase is for "X" character needing to be portrayed as a badass. She doesn't need to be a badass, but there's no reason she needs to be a cheery housewife either. There's no reason why she can't be Gohan's homem...

Re: Toriyama's art style changing over time with SSJ
I've always loved the Cell Games style SSJ the best. It's when the form flowed the best artistically to me, though I do like the idea of the form looking less and less "wild" representing how the saiyans mastered it. http://images6.fanpop.com/image/answers/546000/546334_1412147291088_500_2...

Re: Do you want to see a universe 6 adaptation in movie form
I do want one and want it to be the same plot of U6. Reason being that I found BoG so much better than the current arc of Super that I'm scared for the U6 arc. If it's all we get and it's not that good then it will be the only U6 material out there. But if it gets a BoG/ RoF style movie then at leas...

Re: Expected to like "adult" cartoons over DB?
I think this is also a generational thing. Back in the day comics were only for "geeks" and kids who weren't exactly that high on the high school totem pole, while now anyone can read comics and it's just more normal. I knew popular kids who read manga and saw anime all the time in high sc...

This is basically the best DB fan manga out there. Every character finally being relevant and kicking ass. Why can't this happen in Z? Things I didn't like: 1. The beginning of the Rigor fight. The fight got better later on, especially afterwards when you meet his family, but when he first arrives ...

The new voice actress for Bulma is a good one and her voice fits Bulma too, but I actually see Bulma's old voice fitting her better. Bulma is an annyoing and whiny character and it makes sense th...

If SS Vegetto is SS Goku + SS Vegeta, wouldn't SS2 Goku or SS2 Vegeta be as strong as SS Vegetto? that's if you go by daizenshuu multipliers,which don't fit the anime at all,and it doesn't fit the manga either.
