It would however be the perfect opportunity to erase that awful mistake and correct his name definitely. I wouldn't mind that lol

Re: The Faulconer score but in a Kikuchi way, remade by me

I'm one of those fans who usually can't stand Faulconer's score, aside from maybe one or two tracks (and even those don't really feel like Dragon Ball to me). But I gotta say, this is pretty good! It's amazing what a difference the arrangement and style make. It actually sounds like it belongs in ...

Re: General Website Goofs/Errors

On the Episode Guide page for DBZ: Saiyan Arc, the Japanese title for Episode 035 shows the wrong name.

It says
奇跡を起こせ!スーパーサイヤ人孫悟 (Kiseki o Okose! Sūpā Saiya-jin Son Go)

When it should say
奇跡を起こせ!スーパーサイヤ人孫悟 (Kiseki o Okose! Sūpā Saiya-jin Son Gohan)

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

I'm 99% sure it won't happen, but I just wish they'd animate Jaco the Galactic Patrolman at this point. Preferably before the Golden Freeza redo. I feel like introducing Jaco as a character before that arc should be one of their priorities. I'd even settle for a super quick recap from Bulma to the ...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

Wait, what masters are we talking about here? I was under the impression Toei didn't have the masters anymore, just that aged-up DBox footage? Can't AB just use DBox and upscale it? Their first release was pretty good, despite the few, almost unnoticeable downsides. I'd take their release over any ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Battle power numbers get so crazy later on that I think people often forget how POWERFUL characters were since the beginning.

Let's not forget chapter 1 Goku could survive bullets and lift an entire car. I doubt Videl could take him on, let alone anyone in the 21st World Tournament. If the ...

Nope, the song is there and it's even sung in Portuguese. Which is curious because I was under the impression the Brazilian dub used the Mexican dub as a base. :think:

Though I'm using the second Brazilian dub, by Alamo, so maybe the first one by Gota Mágica doesn't have the song. Still, Oolong's ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I noticed a small continuity error last night while rereading "Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman." It's probably been pointed out before, but I've never seen anyone mention it.

At the very end, Omori's narration tells us that Bulma has graduated from university and is off to search for the Dragon Balls ...

Re: Pointy Ears = Demon Realm Descendant

Yeah, I don't think this means EVERY being with pointed ears is a demon. Just that every demon has pointed ears, so it's an indicator. I mean, even the Kaioshin have pointed ears and they're basically the opposite of demons. Well, maybe those are the Angels, but I digress...

Hell, the question I have now is, do we know if Kibitoshin's presence in Battle of Gods has anything to do with Toriyama?


We don't. But like I mentioned in the other thread, I'm of the opinion that his part there is so small that he might not even have come from Toriyama's story, or if it did ...

"Why they never brought up breaking Vegito's earrings" is a moot point. The characters often forget that they can do certain things. Dragon Ball isn't a series where everything is planned ahead and consistent.

I asked these questions specifically to highlight possible inconsistencies, so just ...

Okay, Vegetto wasn't part of Toriyama's outline, but what about Kefla? Do we know if he had any hand in adding her to the Tournament of Power, and making her defuse?


Kefla defused because her Potara was destroyed by Goku's kamehameha. That doesn't contradict anything from the original series ...

Re: Almost the entirety of the new era of Dragon Ball is Fanfiction, but done by Toriyama


The absence of eyebrows and wild mane are meant to evoke the more "primal" and "bestial" aspect of the form, tying it with the Saiyan origins.

Still doesn't have any connection to the tail and the Oozaru form, both aspects that should define the race and were completely dropped after the Saiyan ...

And people say "But SS4 is original because it ties into the Saiyan origins!" and I'm like: No, Super Saiyan 3 already did that in the Buu saga. :)


The only tie SS3 has to the Saiyan origins is this transformation animation, nothing about its design calls back to the Oozaru or the tail. What is ...

As a professional translator myself, I would 100% use "God" for this character nowadays. The goal of a translation is to adapt the work so that the target audience experiences it as closely as possible to the original audience. For the Japanese audience, "Kami-sama" simply means "God."
