I could be wrong but I don't think either Dragon Ball or Star Wars came up with idea of using chi as telekinesis

In addition to early Dragon Ball being based on Journey to the West, Son Goku's name, Kinto Un, and Nyoibo are straight out of Journey to the West

So Akira Toriyama was evading taxes like Wesley Snipes? Suprise he needs to do that given the amount of money DB makes.
Having money and not paying your taxes aren't mutually exclusive.

Re: How's Toriyama doing these days?

. The Namekian Dragon Balls were like that, but I don't recall that happening with the ones from Earth; so that's odd. The series has always been pretty consistent that characters brought back from the dead are revived wherever their corpse is (or would be in case where they were blown to smitheree...

Re: How's Toriyama doing these days?

. 2) The location where Frieza is revived is described as being the same where Trunks cut him into pieces years ago. It hasn't been elaborated on why, but maybe because you come back alive at the place you die, I guess? The Namekian Dragon Balls were like that, but I don't recall that happening wit...

Re: About how characters train in DBS

Even the original manga often got lazy with the power-ups, especially during the Freeza arc. The entire idea that a Saiyan’s power increases after recovering from fatal injuries was just a convenient way of having the characters get stronger so they could keep up with the villains. It’s especially ...

Fat Buu might be a sloth, but that shouldn't be any good reason to gain huge power by training with Mr Satan who is a total weakling.
He didn't get stronger because he trained with Mr.Satan, he got stronger because he finally got some exercise for the first time in his life.

Re: About how characters train in DBS

Of those only 17 becoming as strong as Super Saiyan Blue Goku seems that contrived Freeza never trained a day in his life, it's not that big of a leap for him to make massive gains in 4 months when he's already naturally strong and an adept martial artist. Fat Boo was a fat sloth who was already one...

Re: Thoughts about international versions and the changes it made?

It was really only the English dub that made changes to that extent, so it's not really an international thing.


Anyways, names like Destructo Disk are dumb and the American replacement music is mostly awful and completely unfitting. Thankfully, Funimation has completely moved away from all of that.

Re: "Serious Goku" Comments on DB Youtube Clips

Let make this clear Goku wanted to win the Martial Art Tournament in the 23rd Martial Art Tournament, there is nothing wrong in that. Goku didn't want to get DQ at all. There's nothing wrong with that other than Goku's risking the fate of the world by refusing outside help just to prove he could wi...

Re: "Serious Goku" Comments on DB Youtube Clips

Lets not forget how Goku acted toward Zamasu, the way he acted was so annoying. There are more things that Goku was dumb, but I think I said plenty. The narrative may have laid it on a bit thick but Goku didn't treat Zamasu any different than he treats any other deity i.e the same as everyone else....

Laura Bailey also kind of ended up becoming Funimation's go to voice for "young women characters who aren't super important in Dragon Ball" Akane, Erasa, Ranfan, Fanfan, Hasky, and a bunch of others and she always sounded fine there, so I'm not surprised she got a prolific career voicing f...

Re: When did you get into DB?

I got into it around the Goku vs Freeza fight on Namek but was aware of the show's existence and casually watched it since Saiyan saga reruns on Toonami in late 1998 or early 1999. I believe Sailor Moon was my first anime as I started watching that when it was still running on th USA Network in 1997.

Re: Schemmel says that Nozawa told him they wanted to replace her for the role of adult Goku

I guess cause it's a little hard to believe it’s a memory issue when he said almost exactly the opposite of what the response was. Question- Did you have to audition, or did you know you had it? Response- I knew I had it. Interpretation- She didn't have it! She had to audition! Nozawa mentioned she...

Because of exactly what I just said.

Cause apparently people's memories are infallible and perfect and anything contradictory to the truth must be a purposeful lie. I guess.

I would have thought Schemmel misunderstanding was a given (not because he's necessarily a liar or an idiot but because we kinda knew Nozawa was never in danger of losing her role) but props to VegettoEX for pulling the source :clap: :clap:

Well, the latest movie did make Gohan and Piccolo the protagonists.
