Re: Goku and why Roshi was more right than we ever could imagine.
Was it not pointed out right at the start of the Z portion that Goku had been wanting to train with Gohan but Chichi didn't let him? So yeah, despite being officially the strongest man on Earth and not knowing that there were even stronger people on other planets, Goku very much still wanted to gro...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
To be honest, I would NOT say mocking Goku's voice is as innocent as Masenko Ha thinks it is, not only mocking fans of the original version BUT ALSO NOZAWA. I mean, if I talk about Nadolny's Gohan sounding like a chainsmoker or mock the Funimation's cast idea that forced raspy tough guy voice=actin...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
But mocking anything is wrong, period. Pointing out what you dislike about something is fine, but that's where the line should be drawn. Over (a really short period of) time I've come to realize that this is the most sensible position to hold considering that it goes both ways, with the problems of...

Re: Goku and why Roshi was more right than we ever could imagine.
. Because when Goku doesnt have a TANGIBLE LIMIT to break, he singlehandedly outdoes Gohan in the "It's peacetime, I can just chillax" and then proceed to not really work to outdo himself. And this started As soon as he finally won the Budokai Tenkaichi tournament. And it would not be the...

Re: Is Goku hitting his head a relevant detail for his character anymore?
You could argue the head bump explanation was always pointless. Goku was a baby or toddler when he came to earth he wasn't going to remember shit. Goku becoming peaceful could have just easily been explained away as Grandpa Gohan's influence. I know you didnt specifically quote me but this is exact...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
Because sub elitism and dub elitism are equally toxic and harmful to the anime community, but the former often gets a free pass here because said fans are fans of the original version of the anime. Neither is ideal though, I hate seeing some dub fans say "I can't stand Goku sounding like a gra...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
In any case I would strongly advise against telling anyone they are "not a Dragon Ball fan", its petty, juvenile, schoolyard bullying tactics that I think this forum should rise above. Are fans of Power Ranger "Super Sentai fans"? Are fans of Cardcaptors "Card Captor Sakura...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
This. If you're talking to some random or casual acquaintance about Dragon Ball, pronouncing Saiyan correctly and , talking about Genki Dama and Kame Sennin is just going be needlessly confusing and pretentious. My whole problem with the discrepancy between sub and dub is that using correct termino...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
The guy even punched her so hard she got a nosebleed and when she called an ambulance, he tried to break into her room and fled when cops came. He doesn't mean a word he said and is just hoping to save his own ass. Jesus. I didn't even read that part. This whole thing really does get worse and wors...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
That's beyond apathy, even more so if you consider Goku is at fault for this whole mess. I'm at a total and complete loss on why this take continues to persist amongst the fandom (is it because of the one joke in DBZ Abridged's Christmas parody of Eradicate Saiyans?) Zeno was going to wipe out all ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I think the point of contention is that Goku was not characterized to such extremes for large portions of the series. Not necessarily that we want him to be mire akin to characters in other stories because we like them more. Mostly this. Goku can be a selfish, overconfident, static character who, w...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
. However, thankfully, they went back to using the original Japanese attack names in their dub (under the Crunchyroll name) of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, if I'm sure. No, they used the dub names like Special Beam Cannon and Destructo Disk in Super Super Hero. They even referred to ki as power l...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
You mentioned that this even affects the "hardcore fandom"--can a dub fan not be a hardcore fan? Is there some kind of language standard for when you're considered a "hardcore" fan versus a casual fan? I think someone who collects video releases, manga, and video games of the se...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With
yamcha is a fictionnal character , furuya nothing more than a voice in db ......so you agree Furuya should be replaced as Yamcha in all future Dragon Ball projects?
