Re: Goku needs to stop with the "Are you okay Vegeta?!"
While I see your point is some way, we have to realise the majority of these fights aren't a sporting event, combat where they prove themselves in safe environment, in majority these are life and death consequence fights and the thing fought for, is our planet, world or worlds, or even the entire un...

Re: Toei's fixation on Goku being the strongest
Does he really lose all that much in DB/DBZ though? Let's review. In original DB he got his butt kicked royally 2 times: - From Tao-Tao - From Piccolo Daimao He also was beaten by Tambourin at the beginning but this was clearly due to him being tired, hungry and worn out. So for the original series ...

Re: How do you rank the Super arcs and movies?
I will actually try and divide my personal list into manga/movie/anime adaptations, as they may differ quite a bit for me. The only things I won't count is BoG manga version (as it really is more of a slide-show if anything else for me), RoF manga version (as it is mostly just advertising) and Super...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen
Why d'you assume that any arc containing Black Freeza would end in this death?
Super so far has shown exactly the opposite idea for this character.
He will probably live on as long as he is profitable.

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?
But no one here argued Zamasu could not achieve it beacuse "he can get emotional at times". We argued he cannot use it because he is full of himself, deeply argued and not pure in the slightest. Which make him actually a contrcandidate for UI even if he has skill and finesse. Godly Ki and ...

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?
Zamasu. He is a Supreme Kai, so: 1) He already has knowledge of Ultra Instinct; The Supreme Kais are shown acknowledging UI/MUI in the ToP, and Zamasu directly acknowledges UI in Heroes. 2) he has an affinity with God Ki, because he's literally a God, this will make it much easier to tap into the G...

Re: Your opinion on how Toei worked on Dragon Ball Anime
For me TOEI has done enough good for the DB universe that it's bads can be forgiven. On the other hand when Toei is bad, it's REALLY bad. For the original DB I find TOEI interpretation to be extremely valuable. Adding stuff - frequently about the characters, creating atmosphere, showing additional a...

Re: Why did Freeza take himself so seriously as an "emperor"?
Freeza is a sadist who wants to be at the top of everyone and the whole universe and ideally make them suffer as much as possible. He is entirely, sickeningly twisted and wants everything under his boot and exactly the way he wants it. Being an emperor naturally let's him to fulfill these roles. Wh...

Re: How can we get to see Pan and Bra (As written by Toriyama) grow up without aging the cast too much?
Just let them age ;) Seriously, that's all there is to it. People age in real life. Let characters age too. I mean DB while not as realistic, always shown characters changing. It was even expected at some point; people change. And while Toryiama never was good with aging characters (Rosji just stays...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?
The Shadow Dragons arc of GT does not fit in Toriyama's type of storytelling, it tries to be way too serious and dark for Dragon Ball. The premise of Dragon Ball is simple. These magical orbs grant whatever wish you want, period, the end. This GT invention/revisionist plotline about the idea that y...

Re: Could Goku actually wipe out humanity?
An interesting question. Given the premise is the same - he lands in the mountains and grandpa Gohan finds him, I don't think he would. Even if Gohan didn't manage to change his vicous tendencies and would end up dead simillar to what actually happened, Goku would be in no real shape to match the st...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?
Probably it's because of the fact that during GT run, they constantly try something new, or change the premise according to the reception. Sometimes it's a hit or miss, sometimes the idea is just bad, but when it hits well, it does hit well. That's actually my critisicm with Super. It stays in a cor...

Re: Your favourite Goku quote
I have a quote in mind that I think not many people think about but for some reason I really like the moment between Goku and Majin Vegeta fight. I don't recall the line exactly but after Vegeta explains that he purposely let himself under Babidis spell, is now a heartless warrior and doesn't care a...

Re: Character You Wish Did More?
So for me: Yamcha - yeah, yeah, we all love a good laugh at Yamcha but to be serious... As a character who actually kicked some ass in original Dragon Ball to going into a royal friend and a reliable pot of wisdom about various fighters, I feel they could do a lot, lot more with him. Yamcha just had...

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?
Be it Toryiama thinking of new things as he goes, him needing longer limbs, editorial changes... Things kept changing all the time. Super does not have that energy left unfortunately. Every arc seems to be a self contained story stuck in Super limbo and while they aren't bad, they aren't also revol...

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?
I am honestly not sure if they will get past EoZ but I am sure they want to avoid it or hold it back as long as possible. It seems to me Toei is just frightened to touch original work, rewrite it, or go past where it would rewrite GT. The producers seem very terrified of the feedback it would give. ...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?
I think the only real answer to give to this, is Toriyama couldn't have done anything with the dead and the gods as this would disrupt the apocalyptic, hopeless world he wanted to make. In Dragon Ball there is a lot ways to resolve even the most desperate situations and contrary to what the story sa...
