Re: One Piece Remake, fans are so lucky...

-Dragon Ball is my best show, but it's against all of my values, I find it offensive up to disgust, and I want for it to be totally rewrote, so my beloved characters will get more focus (maybe some romance) and cut out the rest.

Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?

"More versed in martial art" am I. And to spell the truth, Batman can't survive a good brazilian jujitsu fighter. Comics and manga supersede reality. A single Joker grunt that close a Mata Leao on Batman neck put an end to the adventures of the dark knight. MMA fights usually stop the mome...

You can bet your shoes Piccolo and Gohan will be no more relevant than they already were, out of that movie.

Re: A rebuttal to the defense of the Zamasu arc ending

Since his first appearance, Future Trunks Timeline was in fact grim and dark. One armed Gohan very depressive to watch. That reality was fated since the start to show "what couldn't be shown" - if you mind well, there was no reason *that* timeline was touched instead of the original one or...

Re: Beerus sparing the earth in BoG makes no sense now

It's still legit. Considering how low is the overall Nigen Power of the 7th Universe, at least Goku fought him. Beerus was introduced as bored as hell, as he could roam the Universe and destroy whatever without any real opposition. Now, the fact Beerus was *so* overpowered is a plot device (10.000 t...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I don't have any clue, but from tidbits wrote around, the party is casted somewhere else (maybe the entire planet is?). So, there could be a plot device that prevent The Cat and The Butler to be there. Like a place they cannot reach/they doesn't know. By this supposition, the plot can happen whenever.

Re: When do you think the Super anime is returning? Should I read the manga while waiting for the anime?

"They can make money with Moro character!" A: BANDAI make money with games. They pay a right fee to Toei. A simple 20$ dollars DLC for XV2 cannot pay for the whole animation of 100+ episodes required.. B: if even so, TOEI make way more incomes by a movie (8M to produce Broly > 150M net inc...

Someone must be happily married before talking about what marriage is. And this post show exactly why ChiChi and Goku are a perfect couple, while Vegeta and Bulma got no reasons to get along. Goku is not a bad husband. Is just broke and unable to collect money. That doesn't qualify you as a bad husb...

Re: Super and the narutoification of Dragon Ball (or why the meditation line actually matters)

TL;DR: character driven arc vs plot driven arc. Anyway, is not that such stuff happen by chance or mistake. The shift in Super happened as Toriyama just wrote subjects on a call. TOEI tapped on BoG success and set some border, identifying BoG "best" points. Beerus must be there, one transf...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Transformations are just tools to progress character arcs and try new things. Black Freeza's strength—other than being a cool design—is that with that development we have a new opportunity to develop Freeza and other characters. -Sorry, I wasn't meant making bad things, despite exterminating worlds...

There's only two plot points left: Goku vs Beerus and Black Frieza. Toyotaro can still draw infinite fanfictions rolling dice on a table, an...
