Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
After rewatching the first Teaser Trailer, I'm inclined to believe that the story takes place between the end of the Buu saga and Battle of Gods. According to the trailers, the Kaioshin and Kibito aren't fused in Daima, so it can't happen before Battle of Gods. I don't see why they'd make it after ...

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
Based on usual DB releases in France, you can't expect volume 2 to be released until at least a year has passed since the release of volume 1. And the release probably won't be announced much ahead of the actual release date. So if you want my advice, just consider you won't have volume 2 until a c...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
It's basicaly contractual matter, announcement can't be said before it was planned I mean, sure, but they could've at least told us they're working on it. There's been no word since the release of Volume 1. Well, it is what it is I guess. The boxset designer has posted he finished the design for th...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
I asked AB video on Twitter if there were any news of Volume 2, and they said there are no news at all. Is it possible this one volume is all we're getting?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
You shouldn't be expecting Super Saiyan 4 to have a connection with the Super Saiyan forms when Perfect Files outright states that even its name was given out of convenience. It is not supposed to have a connection. I wasn't expecting anything, it's just a bummer that the Saiyan race and its transf...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I don't care what people say about golden SS4 being too "fanfiction", in my opinion it would be the absolute perfect final form for Goku (and any Saiyan). It could actually be the real Super Saiyan of legend, which our characters never achieved before because they didn't have the tail anym...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
The funny thing is Akira Toriyama wanted Piccolo to be the lead for Super Hero but Akio Iyoku pushed for Gohan. I'd imagine Iyoku is more aware of the iconography of Gohan vs Cell, and wanted to emulate that with Gohan Beast vs Cell Max, but Toriyama trusts Iyoku for these stories to be consistent ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Just FYI, if you're gonna write Jôji with the mark above the o indicating the lengthened vowel sound (which IS accurate, and I love seeing it!), you should do so for Kaiô as well. To be honest I just copied his name on Google 'cause though I knew the rest of the info, I didn't know his name :P But ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Somebody elsewhere said that King Kai's voice actor died around that time, and that was the reason for taking King Kai off the board. But now that I think about that, that doesn't really make sense. If one form of media was going to make King Kai willingly stay dead forever in tribute to the loss o...

Re: Have any of your Dragon Ball fanfictions (or part thereof) became a reality?
Many years ago I wrote a fanfiction called "Dragon Ball AZ" as in "After Z" (yes, very creative) on a Brazilian Dragon Ball forum. The very first arc was... the resurrection of Freeza, who after deciding to train for the first time in his life achieved a brand-new transformation ...

So... any news from France on volume 2 of this release?
Have they announced anything or has it been complete radio silence since volume 1 came out?

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Kakarotto is the one true spelling of Goku's Saiyan name and Vegetto is proof of that. Kakarot is clearly just a mis-translation It's not a mistranslation, it's a perfectly valid (and more natural) way to say the name in English. Kakarot comes from the same logic as Vegeta instead of Bejiita or Tru...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
I checked their previous DVD releases of the series, which also ended Box 1 at episode 68. They then released a Box 2 with 69-153 so I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same now. If they keep the releases similar to the DVDs, it would be two Dragon Ball sets (1-68, 69-153), three for Z (1-117, ...

Re: Which author is better with women? Toriyama or Kishimote
Well, first of all we have to remember these are shonen series, meaning they're made for young boys and female characters are rarely the most important ones in such stories, sadly. With that said, I think Kishimoto is much better than Toriyama when it comes to writing female characters. Sure, they'r...

Re: Why do You Care About Power?
There are plenty of in-universe explanations that you've left out. For instance, the one I personally adhere to is a mixture of Shisami got stronger (Freeza's strength likely makes him an incredible training partner), Gohan jumped in when he didn't need to (guy's already rusty when it comes to figh...

Re: Why do You Care About Power?
I think it's important to have some sort of consistency in how the DB universe works. In segments that have large comedy/gag elements it might be a fool's errand to attempt to figure things out, but by and large, from say the Piccolo Daimao arc through the end of the Cell Games, I think things are ...

Re: Why do You Care About Power?
Well, people generally like things to be consistent, so when they're not, they speculate on ways to rationalize that. This. I am not very found of having power discussions ("would character X defeat character Y?"), but when a battle is shown in the official material and it makes no sense ...

Re: Super's manga by Toyotarō
Just keep in mind that nothing is guaranteed who will be animators for the movie. It's possible that they will keep some good supervisors for Dragon Ball Super . Good supervisors aren't enough if Toei doesn't give Super enough time and budget. As far as I know, there were good supervisors and anima...
