Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Julie has a point, once you get the necessity genie out of the bottle everything is fair game. I, for one, wonder if there was a need for Goku's heart to fail him, for time travel, for Yamcha to be turned into a cheater just because, for Bulma to crap all over her friends by dating their killer... I...

Re: How strong do you think Broly was as a kid?

There's no way to tell if he grew steadily, if he grew this strong at the beginning of his life, or mostly at the end or on Earth. He is roughly Vegeta's age, and assuming he was introduced with a power that ranges from Raditz to KK Goku, this is how strong I think he'd be in each arc in his base, w...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

A gag moment where Beerus sneezes is supposed to corroborrate Goku's claim? :lol: From a storytelling standpoint, Goku guessing that Broly might be stronger than Beerus is the given motivation for Goku visiting Broly on Planet Vampa and giving him food supplies so that he doesn't die of hunger/thir...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Story-telling doesn't work like that. I won't address this because Mr. Baggins did it better than I ever would. Toriyama didn't write that Broly is stronger than Beerus. He wrote that Goku thinks that Broly is stronger than Beerus. There is a massive difference. Again, by no means does a character'...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Should be taken into account that Goku and Beerus don't exist, it was Toriyama who said those words about Broly, through Goku, and Toriyama knew how strong he wanted Beerus to be. Just like he was the one saying, not Vegeta(because he also doesn't exist), that hybrids are stronger than saiyans... so...

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

The similarity between the aforementioned Simpsons episode and the scene in Dragon Ball Z ends at the bullet being thrown back. I highly doubt the writers and storyboard artist at The Simpsons got it from DBZ. The scenes and execution are completely different. https://youtu.be/YWDUEVL0PMI?si=8hRDTw...

Re: How strong do you think Broly was as a kid?

Nice thread. We know Broly by the time he meets the gang will cap at post-Buu arc SS(one can go nuts trying to see how strong that actually is), and also that he'll stagnate for years before that. I don't think Broly needs to be in the millions by the time he is 3, if Vegeta was already above the Ki...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

1. Goku (Beginning of DB) vs Beelzebub (Sand Land) 2. How would Beelzebub fare in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai? 3. Let's say Zarbon was around to do Tagoma's training instead, who is the strongest character he'd be able to defeat in his monster form? 4. Moro arc 17 fuses with Hell Fighter 17 to becom...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

For an open world like Kakarot, original Dragonball is the way to go, I think. DBS is mostly fights, like the movies, and even GT. The 23rd TB DLC got me hooked like never before, exploring the world hits differently, IDK. Running around training and getting ready for the 21st TB, doing Roshi's erra...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

If Akira had ever visited South America he would've been treated like the fucking Beatles... knowing his hermit personality, probably SA would've been his least desired destination. People would be crying outside of the restaurant where he was dining at, even the waiters would be all over him. Marad...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I wonder why chose Kakunsa of all people, I guess to show us that even the least known characters are gonna be there.

Broly blowing up everything, damn... when is this coming out??? I'm like Super Buu with the hourglass.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Well what do you know? Broly finally turned SS, it wasn't that hard. He just needed to be told to hold it before snapping, after taking a beating, lol. No need for any deep stuff, and it makes sense because he is a prodigy, he learns on the spot. This chapter was fun, Broly and Gohan was a surprise,...

If it'll have Daima characters, then this game will be coming out mid 2025, long after Daima is over, I imagine.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I dislike the unwillingness to pursue Gero a lot more because it required the entirety of the cast to behave like battle crazed lunatics, like why would Tien, Krillin, Yamcha, Gohan and even Piccolo be ok with that? Why is Vegeta allowed to make the calls? Whats funny is that the story tries to get...

It seems the revival gave him the opportunity to retcon/recontextualize things that interviews couldn't. Like "Goku gives 0 fucks about his friends, only fighting, nothing else", yet he almost got himself killed by Tambourine due to his friend, friend who also prompted the SS transformatio...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

Nah, the manga has at least 2 more years left, and one could assume Toei won't let the last few stories Toriyama was involved in fade away without being animated. I'd say it'll run for half a decade more.
