Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

My one hope for this is, that the de aging of everyone makes most of the characters on close to equal footing in terms of power, and that all the characters get some focus, not just Goku and Vegeta. The trailer does seem to focus on them a lot, but I think it'd be cool if lesser used characters like...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

I know realistically this new game isn't gonna have as many characters as BT3, but I hope at the very least there's content from the original DB.

Re: The Goku and Vegeta Formula in Super

Will be nice to see how super hero shakes this up. It won't. Considering everything points to this being a more comedic adventure than usual, as well as the fact that its in a vaguish point during EoZ, we're probably not going to see much of anything that'll change the canon. At the very least, the...

The Goku and Vegeta Formula in Super

I've always kind of had a problem with Super, particularly with the two most recent arcs, but I've never been able to articulate why. Then while I was l was listening to the Team Four Star review of the Super manga arcs, and it hit me: Most of the Super arcs kinda feel the same in their usage of Gok...

Re: What is your ideal alternative roster of the ToP saga?

There was fanart before the ToP started of an expanded Universe 7 roster. I remember Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Gotenks, and Jaco were all there, and I'm sure at least one other person. But 15 people on 1 team would have been a bit much for one saga. As for replacement, I would drop Tenshinhan or Kame-Sen'ni...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I kinda feel dumb for asking this, but what color is Recoom supposed to represent? The Ginyu Force are suppose to parody Sentai which have their characters differentiated by color, and the Ginyu Force does that with the members' skin tones. Ginyu is Purple (even if that wasn't a color used in Sentai...

2. He NEVER liked killing his enemies, unless he had absolutely no choice, he wouldn't do it. Agent Black, King Piccolo, Freeza and Boo all gave Goku no other choice but to end their lives.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

The fact that characters like Moro and Merus haven't been added to Xenoverse or Heroes actually makes me think this arc will be adapted. The video games have always pandered to the anime side of the franchise, so I'm thinking they're waiting for the anime adaption for story reasons just in case the ...

Re: Is every movie based on a specific arc in the series?

Mostly, yes. Though the OG Dragon Ball movies were more retellings of some of the arcs, and Z movies were more fully based on what was relevant in the franchise. DBM1 is a retelling of the original search for the Dragon Balls, with Pilaf taken out. DBM3 is a combined retelling of the 21st Tournament...

Re: Which character and/or plotline in the franchise is the biggest waste of potential?

I'm gonna go with Frost. I will never understand the reasoning behind making him evil. As a hero, he could have provided a unique aspect of being the first good member of Freeza's race. Hell, he could have been used to give any insight into Freeza's race, at least a name given they've promoted it as...

Has there even been an official "main characters" list?

For a series as popular as Dragon Ball, I find it weird there's really no official consensus over who is a main character and who isn't. Okay, we know Son Goku is THE main character, but there's other characters in the series I've seen arguments over how they aren't main characters. Dragon Ball isn'...

Re: How much do you care to see/learn from the other universes?

From what little we've seen of the other universes, I'm not really all that interested. Most of the fighters have only one unique gimmick and aren't worth further exploration. There are some exceptions I wouldn't mind seeing more of though, like Obni and Catopesra. I wouldn't mind learning more abou...

Re: "(Super) Dragon Ball Heroes" Official Discussion Thread

I don't think Dragon Ball Fusions should make its way to Heroes, to be honest. So I wouldn't consider them as "missing stuff". Well Gohanks EX is in the game. Though I think he was just for promoting Fusions, which they don't have a reason to now because it's been out for like 4 years. If...

Poor Tien and Yamcha. Goku stole the opponent they could've had a good showing on... Hey, at least Chiaotzu and Yamcha got to win against those other guys. That's more wins that they've gotten in the last 30 years. Tien though, between this and the Tournament of Power, he's not looking so good.

How do they portray Goku and what could they do with the next generation they can't do with Goku and Vegeta? Fight Tao level enemies and actually struggle?

Re: Could a "Dragon Ball: Next Generation" show work?

A Next Generation show should happen. There's only so much millage you can get out of Goku and Vegeta wanting to be the strongest ever. I'd love if they ever go past the end of Z, and if they want to retcon GT, they focus on the younger characters. Online tells us Trunks and Goten open up their own ...
