Re: Members: How old are you?

I'm 26, hurtling towards 27 (check back in a few weeks). I've been around on the forum for a while now but as far as actually diving in I'm about a week into it. Is there a "First exposure to Dragon Ball" topic? 18 going on 19 this fall. I know, I'm a young one. Not that young compared to ...

Re: How did you decide/get your avatar?

My avatar is a quick photoshop creation of a character from my story. Her name is Bel and she's an energy being from another dimension (so no she isn't a rabbit); alongside my username I use the image consistently so that people know it's me when I'm spotted on a different site. Funnily enough the s...

Re: Why Meri hates podcats?

I always figured it's because she doesn't have the time or doesn't really feel like it anymore, which is perfectly fine by me.

Re: Why the recent attempt to push Freeza as Goku's arch-enemy?

Ah, I forgot about that! It's been a while since I've seen Buu, I'm waiting until I can get a full Season Blu-Ray of the Kai version so I can concisely catch up on it. No biggie! Had to take a quick glance at the manga to make sure I was remembering correctly. :P I'm quite new here so I feel like I...

Re: Why the recent attempt to push Freeza as Goku's arch-enemy?

Also, at least one villain in every DBZ arc killed Krillin. Factually not true. Raditz didn't, Vegeta didn't, Cell didn't. Only Tambourine and Frieza can lay claim to that, with possible inclusions being the Androids in Future Trunk's timeline (who by proxy killed almost every other fighter as well...

Re: Why the recent attempt to push Freeza as Goku's arch-enemy?

None of these are actual links to the main characters, except for the Vegeta thing. Goku never knew about the Saiyans or his father, and explicitly tells Freeza he doesn't care that he killed them. Freeza doesn't even make the connection between Bardock and Goku. There's no connection there. Sure, ...

Re: Dragon Ball Manga vs Anime Release Chart

Shame really, it'd be fun to see that series and what made it what it was. English dub would be better, although hopefully with a proper pronunciation of Arale's name! I don't see how a dub would be better... I guess it would help them shop it around for TV deals, and give it more broad appeal for ...

Re: Why doesn't Goku transform into the God versions of SS2 and SS3?

He probably can but SSB according to the anime drains their stamina quickly and I'd assume going ssb2 or ssb3 would drain them quite rapidly. Wouldn't be wise to now just suddenly use it in the tournament, but who knows down the road? I think Toriyama answers it for you if in the context of the quo...

Re: What is Bulma real hair color in the anime

Bulma kinda has two hair colours in the anime; turquoise for DB and DBZ, and aqua for Super. That last picture looks the best to me, though.

Hey guys! So I'm in the middle of doing a completely different side-project, organizing all the Dragon Ball music from the 5-disc CD set in chronological order with the help of this site. While I was doing it, I noticed that Son Goku's Song was an insert song for the episode where Goku visits West C...

Re: Why the recent attempt to push Freeza as Goku's arch-enemy?

There is a justification for Frieza's prominence because of how intrinsically linked to the main characters he is. He's the ruler of a galactic trading corporation, had Vegeta under his boot for decades, destroyed the home world of the title character, had a significant encounter with Goku's father,...

Re: Dragon Ball Manga vs Anime Release Chart

Extremely insightful and impressive chart. My massive props to you! I actually started rewatching the series like this recently, and I even started it with Dr. Slump. I had about 52 chapters of the manga, before starting the first anime series. Dr. Slump is odd in where some of the chapters just ha...

Dragon Ball Manga vs Anime Release Chart

Hi guys! I worked on this neato project for the past five days that I thought some of you would like. This is a chart showing the release timeline of both the manga and the anime, showing the Chapter gap between each. Obviously, this is very much inspired by Hujio's Chapter Difference graph from DB ...

Re: Who, to you, are the main villains of Dragonball?

I'd say The Red Ribbon Army as a whole is the villain. Yes, Red is at the helm, but Black kills him and takes over at the end. I would agree there, although Blue does a lot more in a direct fashion to stand out on his own. Not to mention Tao (despite being a hired hand. ...tongue?). Silver doesn't ...

Re: Who, to you, are the main villains of Dragonball?

While he isn't an over-arching villain, I'd like to make a case for Tao on a minor level, as he was the first opponent that Goku had personal beef with after he kills Bora for really no reason at all, in a way that surpasses Blue. As well, it's the first case where Goku has to perform a sort of powe...

Re: Dragon Ball Kai: The 1st Chapters

It's a shame Toei won't just do it themselves. Kai-ing DB would probably bring it down to 100 episodes (cutting it down from 133 canon episodes) so surely they'd make their money back. How much would such a small project even cost them ? To be perfectly honest, with the experience of Kai-ing DB mys...

Well, I mean, the easiest way to get those lines would be either the FUNi DVDs, or Blu-Rays of Z, but I don't know if you have either of those. I don't even know if that's what he says in the dub of Z, it's just the translation I saw in the subs when watching Kai. If you don't, maybe someone else d...
