Would removing Neva's macguffin Super Saiyan 4 fix Daima for you? Yes. SSj4 and SSJ3 Vegeta were probably only made to get clicks and sell merch and mobile game gacha characters. Instead, they could've de-powered them to the point of needing classic Saiyan armour, or their ape forms again.

Also, I ...

Yeeeeah, gonna have to agree to disagree on Sabat's Vegeta. Like I said in my reply to jjgp earlier, his Vegeta has more or less remained almost exactly the same since 2002-3. Saying that he's "SIGNIFICANTLY less gruff" is just... well, I'm REALLY trying to be nice here, but that is just a ...

It's just astounding that nearly every voice actor apart from Schemmel is able to nail Goku's voice somewhat perfectly.


From what I've gathered from your posts it sounds like you have some beef with Schemmel that goes beyond his ...

Sabat and Schemmel really need to let go of their roles, but especially Schemmel. Nothing he does seems to work or fit Goku just right.

Sabat's Vegeta and Yamcha are okay, but his Piccolo is completely wrong and lacks that sarcastic/smart-ass cadence of the original. Kaioh and Ox King also sound ...

It definitely wouldn't be the global phenomenon it is today. Goku is as recognizable as Mickey Mouse, or Tom and Jerry.

The "Americanization" of Z was essential, because we were all used to heroic good guys and not quirky, childish ones like the OG Goku. As loathe as I am to say this, I used to ...

I never expected to see Dragon Ball Z turn up on my Netflix page, and while I'm happy that they have the Dragon Box version, I'm sorry to say, it looks dreadful on a 4k T.V.

Keep in mind, this isn't the flawless ikaos/SOM version, either. This is their rip of something that was released on DVD over ...

Hello.

In the 40th anniversary video we got to see several exclusive Toriyama illustrations for Battle of Gods onwards. This made me remember that, in some interview, it was mentioned that Toriyama did several designs. What I didn't remember was that Iyoku said this:

"As a fan, it makes me ...

How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

A lot of people seem to hate it, but 'm fine with it.

It's not like he actually wins entire battles after he arrives. Fights against The Ginyu Force and Nappa were the only ones he won, when people were waiting.

Why is this dub being buried? They know it has it's fans.

For fun, let's suppose we somehow crowd-fund this dub out of storage - do you think they'll add the Ocean audio to streaming, or are the Funi voice actors' egos too big to do that?
Ok, first question's first.
1. It was created ...

That reincarnation manga had Yamcha meet a female, I like to imagine that is the lady he "cheated" on Bulma with.
I think he did so with many women over the years. Remember, he even had a fan club...


Is this in the sub? I remember girls crowding around and reacting to Yamcha during the 22nd ...

The Blue Bricks still seem to be the 'gold standard' at the moment. Occasionally you come across Blue Bricks that are low-priced and region-free, but that makes the chance of them being bootlegs quite high. I didn’t buy them, because you might end up with issues that are even worse than the Banana ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.



"Don't make your work political" is an argument I ...

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!

2. Goku being an absolute airhead.

3. No more Super Saiyan hair colours, please. Do something innovative with SSJ2 and other techniques. SSJ3 is ...
