Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.

I honestly don't think we will ever get to see Goku meeting his parents. I also think there's some sort of "rule" going on behind the scene preventing that from happening, which would explain why not even games tackle this in a more appropriate manner. Even when Goku gets to breathe the sa...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

The next character Dragon Ball website says they'll talk about will be Whis' younger brother. I don't remember if it was ever given an age to these characters, clarifying who's older than who, though I seem to have a vague memory of somewhere saying Vados is older than Whis. But at any rate, curious...

Gine Appreciation Thread.

Time to shed some love to this character. I am aware and fully acknowledge that her portrayal hasn't been the best example on how to portray female characters, especially in a franchise that puts fighting above all else, but that clearly male characters are predominant in that area. Leaving to spora...

Re: Non-Americans: thoughts on the Funimation dub?

It seems to be a good dub, as far as we can say about the voice actors themselves. But I wouldn't watch it either, after all, I wouldn't be watching Dragon Ball to begin with. They change dialogues completely, which thus mess with everything, from a character's personality to the original author's i...

Re: Are you done with Dragon Ball?

My question is, do you still enjoy Dragon Ball? Yes, though not as much as some years ago. What about it brings you back? The recent games, I think. I have been paying a lot of attention to them and they're probably what keep me around. But in regards to the series, I don't know. It still presents ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The World's Strongest

On a trivial note, it's fun that SDBH develops Dr. Wheelo a bit further by giving him a human design at last, in the form of Dr. W. That plus some more characteristics to his personality, such as he likes to analyze stuff. Much more than trivia. This is the kind of stuff we would never get except w...

Re: Fan Works Explosion

Amazing! And a nice art to go along with it too! :thumbup: Although, probably I would make one or two members of the Heeters survive (run away from Bardock) so that there is a bit more of connection between the past and the present. I'm bored of "revenge stories" as that's been done to dea...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

2. And then you just changed the already refuted "explanation" with "context", that as stablished it's not necessary, and therefore can totally be overlooked. It's entirely possible for one to read the manga without watching those episodes (as many have without needing them). Th...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

My point is that Goku was clearly able to operate one type of motor vehicle to some extent, fresh out of the woods, with no instruction, even if he wasn't in complete control. Yeah, but you are leaving this small but very important detail out. He "was clearly able to operate" because he s...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

No, he doesn't. First because motorcycle is quite different than a car, it literally goes on its own after spinning the handle. Second, Goku has no control over it, which is the most basic thing you need to have in order to drive. So you can't call that "driving" by any stretch of the word...

That's ridiculous. (...)

There is no scenario where Toriyama thought about sh...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

It's at least what it's intended to be, but people always changes the way terms are used by the years. Which, needless to say, is what often leads to misunderstandings and the necessity of having to explain everything constantly. That being said... but I personally can see than when they use the te...

Re: "Toyotaro Drew It!!" Discussion Thread

What's more interesting than the drawing itself is Toyotaro's list of all surviving Saiyans in his personal head-canon combining the anime and spin-offs, coming up with nine in total: Onio, Kakarrot, Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, Broly, Paragus, Tarble and... Tullece? Quite a good number, but I'd take it ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread

Six-year-old Bulma is fixing alien spaceships and two-year-old Bra is fixing computers. I guess Bra's kid(s) will be fixing machinery while in her womb. Anyway, great to see my girl Bra a bit older! Just a tiny bit disappointing she has the same look as kid Bulma instead of being more original but i...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

So it is possible Toriyama is referring to different things and I'm just getting it mixed up. Well, the first quote is talking about basically what I said, the low class is divided into two groups (lower and upper ranks). Raditz is a upper-rank Saiyan. The second quote is just saying there are thre...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

I think the issue here is the opposite. It's not that they are reading too much into it, it's that they are taking what was said at "face value", without having the proper interpretation it requires. Let's assume that the "certain standard" is a power level of "100". Th...
