Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

Bulma should just have called her sister to fly them off to New Namek. Of course we know she didn't exist back then, but now there's so many new ways that Trunks' future could have dealt with the Androids and revive the fallen Z-Fighters. What how? If the Androids had wrecked havoc without prior wa...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

If you think both poor white and "hood" cultures are riddled with misogyny and toxic masculinity, why single out "hood" culture and people of colour? Don't know, but this isn't the first sketchy comment you've had on race on this board. You should maybe check your own biases. Be...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

There’s also a very “hood” element to the Dragon Ball community which I think helps to cultivate further misogynistic fools and what not.

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

There definitely has been a problem in modern media of overcorrecting the portayal of men and writing them as incompetent manbabies who need a woman's guidance just to function properly...I've even noticed my own writing slipping into that and have had to revise it. It's jarring because most of the...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Bro it's a show where people punch each other and shoot energy attacks. it's not that deep or political, I don't know why people keep bringing these topics up. Dragon Ball has some under wraps political messages within the show, politics becomes far more involved though because it attracts some ser...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Oh this is gonna be an interesting thread. Anyways, I think the series has it's many many many flaws to varying degrees but I never really thought of toxic masculinity as one of them. I do think you have a valid point that portions of the fandom have latched on to aspects of the franchise because o...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity

Okay, so if you want to look at the Dragon Ball community as a whole, there’s so much homophobia and overall toxic masculinity especially in regards to Dragon Ball fans. The amount of dbz pfp I’ve seen saying shitty things about gay or trans people is concerning. There’s also a very “hood” element t...

Re: So why Shenron gave Piccolo a bonus transformation?

How, angels are above Shenlong’s power. Well, to quote myself; To be blunt, because it is still stupid, lazy and goes against character. Recall in DBS Broly, Goku stated that if Freeza tried to wish himself stronger, it wouldn't be by much. So a wish like that would be useless. SH tries to get arou...

Re: So why Shenron gave Piccolo a bonus transformation?

Shenlong isn’t just a plot device, he’s a living being with his own personality and biases. Other than the Super Shenlong all of them seem to have a personality, and I like that. He gave Piccolo an extra form simply out of respect, just like he revived Freeza cut in a million pieces because he does...

Re: Could there be an inner struggle happening within Toei and/or the Dragon Ball department?

Why are you arguing that Dragon Ball should be sold to an American studio right after acknowledging that there are non-Toriyama led projects and fan projects that are popular? If anything you should be arguing that Dragon Ball should be public domain so that anyone can create and sell Dragon Ball p...

Re: Could there be an inner struggle happening within Toei and/or the Dragon Ball department?

It truly is sickening what is going on. I know there are a ton of fans here that are happy with a manga release, and the occasional movie and video game. But let's face the facts, the anime is what propelled this franchise to its lasting success. I am in no way trying to take away from the importan...

I don’t even know what to say besides I find this deeply disturbing. Disturning that woman are sligthly more clothed? Like these edits are nothing agregious. Slightly more clothing? Give me a break. It’s disturbing that a country with men who are one of the most frequent viewers of porn are the one...

Could there be an inner struggle happening within Toei and/or the Dragon Ball department?

Hiii, so we know that for ages the marketing and overall pitching of Dragon Ball Super has been suspiciously bad, to the point it doesn’t make sense considering how much profit the franchise brings in. I have a feeling that there might be something happening behind the scenes where possibly Toriyama...

What’s the reason for statues/figures differing so much in quality within the same volume and by the same company?

Hey, I’ve noticed that while looking at statues that Dragon Ball seems to have a weird quality issue. Solid Edge Works released a gorgeous Teen Gohan in SS and SS2, I thought at first it was Match Makers but it wasn’t. Here’s the stark difference in quality between the statues of the same company an...

Re: What is ‘Time-Skip / Time-leap’ exactly?

I will try to draw it, but the idea is that the world is split between times, like an online game that is sent to a client who does some action in it, while someone else in another part of the world is doing another, and both scenes are taken in by the server which updates the game to both of them....

Re: What is ‘Time-Skip / Time-leap’ exactly?

They do disappear. I'm talking about lag in terms of latency or high ping and not game performance. When you're the one who lags in an online game, you see the world and can interact with it much like Hit does in his pocket dimension, but the others see you stuck in place or by skipping between pos...
