In my opinion, somehow this fight finally made them both understand each other.
Yes, they both severely underestimated Boo's power, but I think there had to be something deeper going on there. Could Goku have finally understood Vegeta's pride - that he was a warrior living a family life and doing ...

Re: “What if they were the same person?”
I guess you misunderstood or didn't read the whole text. I was referring to the original human Gevo (Dr. Gero's son). He was the one who died his first death because he refused to act against a child.
He learned from that experience, which is why his android version fought to protect the world at ...

Re: “What if they were the same person?”
If 16 has Gevo's memories, he sees himself in Gohan. He sees another gentle boy paralyzed by the fear of violence.
When 16 tells Gohan to fight, he isn't saying "violence is good." He is saying: "I died because I did nothing. My absolute pacifism didn't save me, it just made me a victim. Don't make ...

Re: If given the chance would Goku divorce Chi Chi?
Him being a hick and Chi-Chi being a super-hick make them a good couple, IMO.
I think he liked Chi-Chi from the start. He could've just avoided her as being a total " henna yatsu da " but instead, he took her on Kinto-un and flew off. He also embraces her after he wakes up during the Cell saga and ...

Re: Trunks Special piano song?
Very short diegetic cues like music on the radio, muzak etc, were often written just for the scene or edited fragments of longer cues. It's very likely an unreleased track.

On a side-note, this is the direct consequence of taking Dragon Ball as an apolitical, unserious work of art with terrible amoral protagonists and nothing to teach to its audience: Using its imagery as a display of dumb brute strength.

1. Freeza not ever having trained. Imagine if he's trained for just a few months in his life, he'd have easily killed Goku on Namek. How absurd!

Re: fans continue doing the work toei is too lazy to do!
Yeah, they look fantastic! There's a group doing this for Dragon Ball Z CC and I was absolutely awestruck watching the Trunks saga this way. it felt like a brand new show and I don't think it can get any better than this.

Re: Does Goku play up his innocence and ignorance?
He's not dumb, he's just ignorant to certain things because he grew up alone. DBS hit the nail on the thumb and made him straight dumb.

Re: DBZ's Japanese Audio on Blu-Ray
The release that did the restoration of colours and audio is my preferred way to watch the show. I still keep my DVDs on the shelf to look at and pop-in once in a while.
The original broadcast audio is also in mono. The poor quality of the JP audio on official release is simply the source, not ...

Re: Which was the better sequel: GT, Super, or Daima ?
He's not a perfect author, deal with it
I must butt-in here and say, that it's not because of that. The stuff he probably grew up on didn't have strict continuity, either. Things he might have seen and read as a kid - Conan, Flash Gordon, The Phantom, heck, even Superman and other stuff didn't ...

Re: Which was the better sequel: GT, Super, or Daima ?
It's, 'pick whatever continuity you want' at this point. Just like Toriyama would have probably preferred.
Unlike GT, Super, Diama, DB Minus etc are good bonus content, but don't fit-in seamlessly when watched in order from DB onwards.
For me, there's some moments and character interactions in GT ...

Vegeta coming up with a plan for Goku to finish Majin Boo off is a testament to how much he grew and matured after shaking off his selfishness during their second fight. He just needed to get all of those grudges off his chest and he was a new man. The, "old" Vegeta would have insisted on him being ...

Re: Dragon Ball / Z 40th Project AI - opinions and discussion
After watching upscales by three different groups, I have a few thoughts.
40th Project makes great use of colour and looks the best on T.V (4k), despite lacking a bit of the detail that Neo-Raws does. These tiny bits of detail aren't noticeable while watching, despite being quite evident in ...

Re: Dragon Ball / Z 40th Project AI - opinions and discussion
They lied to actual voice actors and claimed it was a legit project. (LATAM VA's wore their merch) Also some of their members are a bit hostile. I don't support 40th based on those merits but I hope they can churn out something decent along with Neo-Raws.

The 40th Project s doing their own CC, not using SoM unless something changed recently. Neo-Raws is doing a better version actually based on the Seed of Might CC; the 40th project has a little bit of nonsense going on with it like the project lead wanting to replace the eyecatch with a 40th ...

I can't stand it.
Before you get angry reading this, I know this has been said a hundred times before.
To be fair, I grew up with both the Ocean dub and the Funimation dub. I found the voice changes jarring Z-Day onward, but I was a teen and absolutely loved them back then. I've warched DB in Japanese ever since ...
