Re: The various sets of Dragon Balls at this point

Hey, I like this post, it's really interesting that each main series had at least a Dragon Ball set introduced.

A few more things to add, imo:

The Black Star Shenron is called Ultimate Shenron in some media, I also personally call its DBs the "Ultimate Dragon Balls" since it makes more sense than ...

Re: Which was the better sequel: GT, Super, or Daima ?

God, this was a long time coming.

Ok, firstly, I'll be honest; I prefer the DBZ kind of Dragon Ball, with powerful fights, earth-threatening, amazing villains, and some humor interspersed, but when it's time to get serious, it gets really serious, with blood, deaths in the main cast (even though ...

I actually agree with this take. I mean, every time an artist makes a sequel to his work (movie, book, anime), it can get thrashed, but it tends to be viewed in a generally more "merciful" way by critics, or people are more lenient with their criticisms of it, more so than if the sequel was ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 6 - Official Discussion Thread

So I kinda liked the episode; there were some highs and lows, as usual, but I definitely enjoyed it.

The world feels alive and the final fight was pretty awesome, considering that it's not DBZ levels of fight power.

I'm not digging the whole "every main character is a kid" vibe. I mean, sure, we ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 4 - Official Discussion Thread

Hey guys, just wanted to offer my input on this;

Firstly, I'm seeing some people getting riled up here, I think there's some misjudging of posts going on. What I'm seeing, some poster made quite a rude comment (as in, "if you don't like a certain thing about Daima you should just not watch the show ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

Now that we are in the Demon Realm, I would like to see some previously-delivered lore tidbits being fulfilled or followed through in the series.

For example, I would like for the demon who killed Jiren's master to appear, although that would mean that either there's one demon realm for all ...

I understand your point, have read your posts thoroughly, so it's not a matter of me not understanding you, I simply don't agree :mrgreen:

For me, there is no "definitive canon story" nor Toei meant to give us one. I think it works better if we each have our own headcanon, since maybe for ...

I don't really get why people are so obsessed with the "canon". Not even Toei itself cares about it as much as you. They, and Toriyama too, retcon things every now and then, according to the necessities of the story or their whims.

I mean, sure, Super was the main series or "Face " of the ...

Ok, no. That's not TFS' fault. That's people taking their opinions as word of god without actually analyzing the original version of the series.
The series isn't "true Dragon Ball." It's a parody that flanderizes characters' existing personality traits & gives them different ones to make fun of ...

Super Shadow Dragons Saga is not the last narrative arc, so better check your sources and please consider to binge until chapter 27!
I would suggest too "Shin Dragon Ball After" by "Young Naoyuki" (Young Jijii + Omada Naoyuki), "DBAF" and "DBZERO" by Toyble (now Toyotaro) and "Dragon Ball Sai ...

Hi Kanzenshuu,

So I have finished reading Dragon Ball AF by YoungJiji, up to the end of the Super Shadow Dragons Saga, and I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised. I never gave the opportunity to fan works before, since I didn't trust in their quality, but lately, the typical Dragon Ball fever that ...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

To be honest, I think Dragon Ball Z Abridged has done a lot of harm to the franchise. I mean, I'm the first that laughs a lot at their content, it's enjoyable to watch, but the problem is that they took themselves too seriously. Nowadays, you will find people acting as if Abridged is like "true ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima trailer, October release date announced

I have mixed emotions on Daima. On one hand, it seems like a fresh take on the franchise; new sceneries, new series, change of focus....they moved away from the Super brand, which is a plus for me, 'cause I think that series was handled poorly.

On the other hand, making the entire cast kids is like ...
