Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

They had Capsule Coffins to preserve the body after the King Piccolo incident. And regardless of being an enemy, Raditz was Goku's only known blood relative. Plus, most of the time their enemies don't leave behind remains and most of those that died weren't at the hands of the Z-fighters. I don't s...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I will overlook the fact that it's been twenty one years since Raditz was killed (in-universe, so it shouldn't be possible to even think about "retrieving his corpse" in such a perfect state. "Decomposition" is not a thing in Dragon Ball? Of course, this is fiction so there are ...

Re: Does the lack of diversity in sub and dub bother you?

Oh man, what the hfil did I just step into. Anyway...

Am I bothered by the lack of diversity? No I've never thought about it.

Would I like to see more as actors step down? Yeah for sure.

And while we're here, every King Kai I've ever heard sucks. Just so we're not ragging on Sean Schemmel alone.

I think it would be really interesting and nice to see Goku react to one of the characters dying from natural causes.

Re: Is Freeza "The Joker" of Dragon Ball? Why is Toriyama Keeping Him Around in Super?

My crack theory is that Super is going to eventually lead into Neko Majin, in which Freeza is implied to be alive. So Freeza coming back and staying around helps get there. Vegeta works for Freeza in Neko Majin. It would make no sense for him to work for Freeza again. Don't worry, it will. :wink: A...

Re: Would Goku Go SSJ If Bulma Died instead of Krillin?

I'm going to go with a big fat yes. I've seen a few other people point this out, but it wasn't super clear, so let me clean it up a bit. He thought he just watched Piccolo die. This would immediately be an "oh shit" moment as he now believes there are no dragon balls. If he then watched Bu...

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

Frieza, who is the most popular DBZ villain and is alive in the storyline, was in the poll but couldn't come close to Goku Black. It's safe to say that Cell and Majin Buu would have been surpassed too, since they have never been more popular than Frieza, who was overtaken by Goku Black in that popu...

Re: How much actual fighting is in the series?

Great question and I believe there needs to be a distinction between manga and anime. This is obviously because the anime can do fighting animation loops as well as interject filler and transitions you wouldn't need in the manga. We also need to clarify what is considered fighting. Dragon Ball is kn...

Re: How could the anime fit around the movies? My thought experiment!

This was really cool to look over and I bet it was a ton of fun.

I actually have an ancient fanfic I've held off on because it was just too many leaps, but this is giving me motivation to try it again.

Thanks for sharing!

Re: How Would Super Vegeta Have Reacted To Majin Vegeta?

Both would be pissed and then they'd fight if I had to guess.

"Super" Vegeta would obviously lose quickly and Majin Vegeta would kill him after calling him a second rate imposter or something.

Re: All Bulma has left are old lady jokes

Yeah Toriyama is both less risque and somehow more narrow-minded and set in his ways at the same time. The older he's gotten the more we've seen him be the worst of both worlds when writing his female characters. Especially the mainstays. It's a shame and really brings the franchise down.

Black and Zamasu in the Anime are unironically the best villains ever. They have literally all the qualities a villain should have, I can't really think of anything they're missing. Easy 10/10. Well that's like, your opinion man. Piccolo Daimao and Frieza are my top two. Elec may also get up there ...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?

Please no. The genre doesn't adapt to film very well and even when it does, the Western world isn't ready for it/doesn't care to see it. The genre being martial arts films. Okay The guys that worked on Shang-Chi may be able to pull it off if they decided it was worth the money/time. . MCU fans watc...

I'm torn on it. If Vegeta's development makes a lasting mark on the series, I'll probably like it. If not, then I'm a bit annoyed and wish they'd stop developing to just reset
