Re: Goku needs to stop with the "Are you okay Vegeta?!"

You know they aren't real people, right? I never understand why people criticizing a writing choice in a series is always met with “it’s not real though.” No shit it’s not real. Because it's very bizarre for people to get so up in arms over trivial shit like children's comic books. Bad take. We're ...

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?

It's funny how people here are arguing that Zamasu (a Supreme Kai genius who has trained his whole life) wouldn't be able to use UI because he can get emotional at times (who doesnt?), but then argue that Pure Buu, a literal animal with no brain, could use it. UI as a technique requires skill and f...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I normally do not get into these discussions, but my fanfic has had me watching this thread. I do not see this brought up often, but SSG Goku had just absorbed energy from many of the strongest people on Earth in Battle of Gods. I personally believe that energy was transferred into God Ki just like ...

Re: Anyone else not having any problems with Trunks x Mai?

Some people will always be late bloomers, or virgins who care about what is "okay". Did you somehow get transported from the year 2005? :lol: Don't try to strangely attack people (or attack people at all) because the majority of responses have not agreed with you. This is a bad take, and ...

Re: Coolest female?

Seconding 18 here. In terms of coolness, she is pretty much as cool as it gets. Never talks trash she cannot backup, is supportive of her spouse despite being way more powerful, and knows what she wants. What is the female version of a Chad? Because that's 18.

Re: Is The Manga Too Long?

It is odd, and something I have noticed many people (including myself) criticize. Well, not directly criticize it, but we often criticize paneling and pacing. Though, it's somewhat of the same issue depending on how you look at it. What I have also noticed is that it often seems Toyo does not have e...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 90 - Official Discussion Thread

Absolutely loved this chapter. Pros: The gags were spot-on and while they didn't make me actually laugh, Dragon Ball almost never does. It's more of a cute humor and it did so without going into sexual assault or cringey over-the-top goofiness. The fight scenes were awesome and I love seeing Krillin...

Re: Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?

I believe most reasonable people understand that one day in the future AI will be capable of sounding and acting like anyone. If our technology and software development continue to progress like they have I do not see a reason why this won't be the case. Personally, I think it will be infeasible for...

Also, scratch the 5-10 years.

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Roshi...nothing needs to be said. Especially these days. I think what annoys me the most is even in Super, he still tries to touch Bulma. Is nothing sacred to this creep? Isn't Bulma at least a friend to him? Roshi saw Bulma as a sex object from the very minute he first met her. It ain't that surpr...

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Namek Saga (Episodes 36-60)

Episode 53 is the first DBZ episode I saw in Japanese. I got it from Anime FX in my local mall. I thought I was getting the part of the show where Freeza gores Kuririn on his horn. I guess I was a blood thirsty kid. Instead I got this because they didn't label their cases very well. It was three ep...

Re: Bootsy Collins in Trunks Special

For those that somehow don't know, this track fit perfectly with the tone of the special and was very much in-line with the style of Funimation dub DBZ music. Something about these two statements feels contradictory... 😆 I get what you're saying. I guess what I meant was, "...this track fit pe...

Kunzait post I seem to remember Toriyama saying the two have met but has George Lucas ever spoken on Toriyama or Dragon Ball himself?

Re: Toriyama loves Star Wars but has George Lucas ever talked about Dragon Ball?

I had never really considered it, but the ending of Episode III and the ending on Namek are quite similar. Knowing George Lucas, I would be surprised if some of the prequels or side-projects didn't take from Dragon Ball in any way. I've never really looked for it, but will now be keeping a closer ey...
