Would eating spinach count as a power-up by Goku? And if so, would it be so strong as to kill him if he were in SSJ3?

(also, kinda ironic that spinach of all things is what makes Popeye strong, given the Saiyan vegetable name pun thing!)

I don't see why Planet Vegeta couldn't have had a Kami-sama. We don't know anything about the religious beliefs of the Saiyajins or the Tsufurujins. What other planets do we know have a Kami-sama? Do we see more in GT/Super? My guess is that Kami is probably a way to have a single overseer-type per...

Not that I'm advocating to have it switched to Hercule, but it makes a certain amount of sense for his bumbling, incredibly un-informed character to call himself that instead of the full and proper Hercules because he really doesn't know any better. Like I can really imagine him justifying to the pr...

Dragon Ball of course! Probably has something to do with the fact that Dragon Ball started with a full year and three months ahead of the manga, while Z started with five months and had to pad things with filler. There's also the fact that Dragon Ball changes location a lot more often than Z does, w...

Thanks a bunch! That audio bot can either be the bane of one's existence or the handiest thing ever; it's also how Zestanor found out that "Kame Sennin Rock" was actually an instrumental of "Boogaloo". I'll have to update my documentation. Ah! I sent you a message detailing that...

Ohhh, that sort of gut punch! Mine is Goku using a Kamehameha Wave to give Krillin a supersonic punch in the face during their match in the 22nd WMAT, before kneeing him in the gut and pinching him on the ground before he flies out of the ring.

An important moment, guys! I just finished editing the newest version of Episode 1, with the new video footage, intro, eyecatches and credits. It has begun!

Just thought I'd share this, which I found thanks to the magic of YouTube audio copyright claims telling me exactly what the claimed track is!

Dammit! I thought I had it when I remembered the name started with a J! -shakes fist in the air-

I'm actually currently in a "transition phase" I suppose where, having listened to the podcast for a while now, I'm using a mix of both after having used exclusively the FUNimation terms for years. So for example I say "Krillin, Tien and Master Roshi fought at the World Martial Arts T...

Well Jake kinda fulfills that in the Manga Review of Awesomeness, right? How... How didn't I know that was a thing? Essentially they discuss each volume, including someone who's reading it for the first time? Correct! It's a pretty good listen for the series as it goes on, particularly the early Dr...

I've always had a what-if that I wanted to draft out. Probably the least original Dragon Ball idea ever, but what the heck, I'mma go with it anyway! What if Goku never existed, and what would the resulting story be like? How that might go down: [spoiler]Okay so to start, Grandpa Gohan would still b...

While on the topic of SS3 it seems that it is fan theory that Toriyama was parodying himself with it (and the majority of the Buu arc) and why it looks so wacky, and I think modern DB sort lends credibly to it as we have hardly seen SS3 since the BoG film in 2013. It also explains why Toriyama wrot...

Completely agree. AF designs were too unappealing. It's funny people love to criticising Super and it's "re-colours" of the Saiyan transformations when for decades that's all people have been doing with SS4 not to mention also ignore the subtle changes these new forms have: SSG raising Go...

Hey guys check it out! Not only have I finished Kai-ing the credits, but I also did something I never thought I'd actually be able to do! With the magic of frame-by-frame Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop, I was able to swap out the Dragon Ball logo with The First Chapters logo in the eyecatches! Chec...

I can't speak for Saint Seija, but isn't Sailor Moon a much smaller story than Dragon Ball?

It would probably end up being a lot less if they follow the manga panel for panel. Yeah, although in my editing of Dragon Ball for T1C I've found that not all padding is useless; a character reaction here and a wide shot there can greatly help the pacing and an audience's perception of events. Thi...

I don't really buy the "because it's outdated" argument because that will eventually apply to Super as well, and in ten years we'd be asking for a remake of Super because it isn't in 4K3D with ScentSense compatability or whatever. Aside from being in 4:3 and, for the Japanese, having bad a...

a newly animated Dragon Ball Z would open the door to wealth of new fans Isn't that what Kai was designed to do? Common misconception, Kai was successful in the ratings, but failed in merchandise. However yes, Kai did bring in a new generation of fans. Well I didn't say it was successful at it...! ...
