Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Well, the last panels not having any dialogues whatsoever were cool. Not something that happens often, in fact, off the top of my head, I only remember it happening in the end of Majin Buu saga, and given the current circumstances, it was a nice touch by Toyotaro. Shouldn't Granolah be involved in t...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Those looking to admire new-but-not-so-new Toriyama images can do so right here. Miki Dai is being kind enough to share them with us, so I'll try to post them in that thread.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Chronicles

Well, we finally have a few new tidbits about this game, courtesy of Miki Dai himself: Miki Dai wrote : The version of Mira before the modifications was my original design, but I am ashamed to show it to you now because I am not very good at it. Let's just say that the teacher revised it, removed th...

Re: SS3 Vegeta

Not in Majin Buu saga, but by the time Movie 14 happens, sure. It would have made a lot more sense Super Saiyan 3 than a randomly powered-up Super Saiyan 2, even if it's "rage-boosted", it shouldn't be enough to close the gap between its multiplier and Super Saiyan 3's (and the same goes f...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Dragon Ball had some influence on the latest Prince of Persia game.

Is there anything that hasn't yet been blessed by Toriyama/Dragon Ball?

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Guess we're about to find out whether Dragon Ball is finite or not.

Toriyama's Dragon Ball definitely is, and it's over now. But Shueisha's Dragon Ball? We shall see.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Well, Golden Freeza isn't a particularly inspired idea to begin with, but I would argue that it works better with him than Cooler since it better plays to Freeza's character: It makes sense that a petty and vain person like him would want his new form to be gold. Plus there's the implication that h...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I responded because it felt like you were saying "Choosing to not go beyond the source material is stupid and anyone who does that is stupid" so thanks for clarifying. No, it did not. Even though English is not my first language, there's no room for misinterpretation on what I said. Espec...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

The conversation will continue, no matter how futile, because what folks are arguing for is not what they claim. What they're aruging for their personal vision to be the definitive interpretation of Dragon Ball. And that's never going to happen for anyone through online arguments. But it's highly p...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Let me answer that question with my approach with that franchise. I've only ever cared about the main movies, I've never been interested in the expanded universe. Not out of any "prejudice" against anything not made by Lucas, but because I just don't have the energy to follow all of that ...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

The solution most definitely isn't to endlessly complain about it, but to present information in the best and most accessible way possible. For example, there's a Wuxia thread that goes into exhaustive detail about where a lot of DB's creative DNA may have been rooted in, to be linked whenever ther...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

If nothing else, you've certainly mastered the art of simply calling people with viewpoints other than your own "stupid" Not really. You don't see me calling people who like the recolor forms, who don't like what I like (and vice-versa), etc and etc, "stupid", for example. If yo...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Much like how many Star Wars fans refuses to aknowledge anything without involvement from George Lucas as canon, so does some Dragon ball fans dismiss anything without significant involvement by Toriyama as non canon. Really? I've never been a fan of Star Wars so I don't know much about it. But fro...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Has anyone found/seen a statement from Ooishi Naho? If she said something publicly, that is. I would like to see what she said. I did find a statement by Dai Miki . For those who don't know, he was Toriyama's sort of apprentice (?) and helped him with designs for Dragon Ball Online. Still pretty goo...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

It is farcical to have a conversation about "official" canon when it comes to Dragon Ball. And yet... *Sigh*... We are still having it ...! We will never be free of this embarassing bullshit, will we? :| Toriyama still has a family and Dragon Ball can continue to provide for his family lo...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Dragon Ball without its creator will surely be different. I mean, even with him on board, it was already becoming different for the last decade or so, but now it will be full-blown something else. No more awesome designs for game characters, no more Mira, Towa, Shallot, Android 21. I don't know what...
