When something is dated, it can’t necessarily be for better or worse, it is what it is. So you can either talk about how awesome or awkward something looks in DB or you can be on the fence about it. These are things I’m split on, though if you push me I’d be supportive. Goku an idiot – Nowadays peop...

Toriyama keeps his story loose and free, so it's easy for him to make rewrites here and there, whether of his own choice or on request by others.

That was very pretty to see. Thank you.

Neither physique really matters IMO, what counts is the silver hair and the aura.

If someone explained to him that they were as precious as his grandfather's Dragon Ball, then I think he'd guard them seriously.

I don't see the point. Freeza was defeated already so why does it matter what his backstory is?

I was referring to seeing more of the characters Cooler and Cold.

After Freeza, his brother Cooler and father King Cold really deserved more time. The family of the most feared tyrant in the DB main universe would have been a great insight into Freeza's background.

My opinion speaks for characters in DB and DBZ, Toriyama's own work. Master Roshi has a lot of history that could showcase him as one of DB's best fighters. By connection, his sister-sibling Baba counts too (and that connection too). Lunch's history as a bandit should have been explored. Chi-Chi and...

Not really, because the character roster tends to shift over the course of the story.

RIP Mr Manos Vanieris.

Goku's an idiot, Vegeta's too proud, Krillin's too cowardly, Roshi's a pervert, Piccolo's a demon (though he could be a runner-up after the above two), Goten a...

In Japan reincarnation is a sacred thing, but in DB if it's got to be done as a wish then I doubt it has much strength.

And Ztidar sounds like a weird name for a reincarnation.

Goku Black is not parallel Goku... he is not even Goku in the first place. But didn't Black Goku originate from a parallel version of Goku that Zamasu swapped bodies with? None of the Universe 6 characters are direct one-to-one alternate timeline versions of Universe 7 characters or anything like t...

What are we talking about here? What parallel Goku and Freeza?

Frost and Black Goku, who came from parallel universes.

While the Universe Tournament focused on different races from other universes, that doesn't mean parallels don't exist.

Parallel Namekians
Parallel Vegeta
Parallel Raditz
Parallel Gohan, Goten and young Trunks, who managed to surpass their parents (though I doubt it)

With a multiverse, parallel possibilities and variations are infinite. Who knows whether the writers will draw more on this concept?

I believe that DBS's early slice-of-life stories works out well enough. We see how Goku and his friends are leading their non-combat days, in relative contentment and occupied with their own errands/goals, and it gets the viewer into the story in a good enough manner. It's also faithful enough to To...

There is more retconning going on in DB than should be needed. First we have Goku as just being lucky, than he was rewritten into being the only survivor of a world of warriors (who are themselves rewritten to be nicer than they were before), and now he's turned into some sort of chosen one. Why doe...

But who could take his place as a rival to Goku to keep him fighting-ready?

People think Akira Toriyama is a fictitious person?

They age slowly, so it doesn't really matter.

But that's a wish maybe Bulma should have done.
