Let's face it: when Vegetto showed up in the manga, neither Goku nor Vegeta were complete SSJ Blue, but the movie made no reference to this form either, only that it's one step above SSJ God through its showings, and Blue went lower than the latter against Hit and Goku Black, until Goku and Vegeta u...

I would like to consider the first Dragon Ball movie. There was no reason to watch Curse of the Blood Rubies over the manga arc that it took inspiration from due to how similar they were (akin to Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System compared to the Genesis title). Things got different by the seco...

Simpler were the times when I didn't know that Dragon Ball was a Japanese show and that it used filler because there was an original publication in the form of grey scale images. I regret having come to the internet to find out that the manga whose copies became available in my country and whose pur...

Somebody else will. Don't worry. Is there anything that you would like to correct me about? Because I could be wrong and learn nothing due to the lack of clarification. Just don't contradict for the sake of it, please.

It's not unusual, but again, DBS continued from this point in time when the characters were at their most loved appearances, in case it wasn't just about the sheer number of them, when it could have continued from Uub's tournament before GT.

Good points. What I wrote was more like a hindsight exercise without historical accuracy because we also don't know what happened between him and his editors. Wouldn't they have opposed the idea of yet another timeskip after a new arc had Toriyama not given them a reason in the face of TOEI wanting ...

I dislike the anime plot concerning Zamasu on the same basis that I dislike Kale in the Tournament of Power. They attempted conflicting emotions, which is not the same as being grey, but in an equilibrium between opposing forces, which broke loose to assume an identity that the manga characters alwa...

As I recall I think the second-to-last Chapter said at the end that the next Chapter would be the last one. There's this. Toriyama knowing that he would not continue, but provide a final chapter with a time skip, and it worked out well in hindsight, because GT can be considered to the side, instead...

I believe the case to have been how Toriyama postponed his plans for the future of the franchise by skipping time so that TOEI could create their own series without interfering and that helped the audience's perception of what happened in those ten years or its lack thereof.

I'm going to be a minority in this, but I didn't mind Goku identifying himself as "Cachalote" in the Portuguese dub of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, even though Kakarotto was well assigned by his father in the same movie, because there's no instance when Vegeta called him by that - it was "Cachalote" al...

Perhaps we shoud call them SJW to include the countries whose language had them be "warriors from space". Saiya-jin Warriors.

It's the beginning of Goku and Gohan's journey, in Dragon Ball and Z, respectively. The adventures of Goku were quick paced while Gohan's were filled with worthwile waiting. There's an interesting contrast between somebody who starts so strong, that there's no opponent except for the vast land to co...

Shin and Kibito didn't split, but the latter was an apprentice, because the old Kaioshin didn't as well. Was merged Zamasu an oversight by Toyotaro or is there something else to be explained? Could there be a special relationship between Shin-jins not yet Kaioshins that backfired once Zamasu became ...

I can't remember most of their differences, except for Dragon Ball Super's, due to its split production: 1. Battle of Gods - neither the manga nor the anime stacked up to this arc's movie, from the drawn out fights between Goku and Beerus, to its fun moments lacking in humour to be taken as such (su...

Gohan and Evil Boo (Super) being stronger than Goku and Pure Boo (Kid) is something that came from bad translations and scans during the early days of the internet. Herms had then conformed to the idea even when he translated the manga more accurately and decided to add a few notes for context. You ...

It depends on whether we're talking about the manga prior to its new ending (the one with Vegeta promising to take on Goku once more after he leaves the tournament with Oob) or with the latter included. I always felt that Vegeta accepted his place and decided to fight for sport in a similar realm to...

To me, the whole situation is like magenta, the color that exists, but doesn't have wavelength, and is therefore outside the spectrum. It can be stimulated by both ends of the latter, with wavelengths that we perceive as being red and blue, because color is also a product of the mind. Dragon Ball GT...

You should never hold off doing anything when you are at your most fluid and exciting stage. Once your head is in a deep state of warmth and darkness, cooling it off and coming into the light might just kill the offsprings of your hard work, and thus the creation shall never take place. Dragon Ball ...

I usually compare Mr. Toriyama to James Cameron and his canon entries to the Terminator movies. Dragon Ball <=> The Terminator Dragon Ball Z <=> T2: Judgement Day Dragon Ball GT <=> T3: Rise of the Machines Dragon Ball Super <=> Terminator Genisys The last two were obviously not by them, but whether...
