Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I always assume that anybody telling me a show "gets good at episode X" actually enjoyed the show from episode 1, but something happened that made the series even better to them, so they think that anybody will love it when they get to that particular section of the story, even if they hat...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

Like SupremeKai25 said, it's almost certain they will animate at least Moro and Granola eventually, I would also assume they'd make a television retelling of the Broli and Superhero movies. The "Super" brand is not going anywhere soon I think. However, there is something to be said about h...

Re: Homage/tributes and appreciation for Akira Toriyama . Updated 14th march 2024)

I made this one the day the news arrived, the text is from the final chapter, translation taken from the Manga Guide in the main site A long time ago… This story, that began with a brief encounter, has at last arrived at the present-day. From now on, you’ll have to see things with your own eyes, so ...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I'm on the "Dragon Ball has no singular canon outside of the original manga" side. The term "canon" implies that there is one correct vision, when even Super has at least two major continuities (anime and manga). You can do it like Totally Not Mark did half a decade ago and try t...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I still can't believe this. I can't even remember what my first contact with Dragon Ball was, because I've been watching it with my father since I was an infant. I can't even begin to imagine how different I would be as a person if it wasn't for this silly comic about a monkey boy who wants to becom...

Re: What are the worst Dragonball hot takes you've ever heard?

I think maybe you can as I see everyone saying the same things with little to no changes in opinion (some say it's only DBS anime Goku and some say it's both DBS Manga and Anime Goku) I have no problem with this character in Super and for me that's all it matters, all I want to know is about the or...

Re: What are the worst Dragonball hot takes you've ever heard?

Hard to define what a hot take is in a fandom as large and diverse in opinions as Dragon Ball's, I'm not sure if this can be considered one, but it usually results in big debates when its brought up, so I'll assume it does. Any variation of "Dragon Ball is only popular in the US thanks to Funim...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

What Super doesn't have, compared to DBZ, is scenes like this, that I don't think a kid would find particularly entertaining or enjoyable to watch I think you're overestimating how sensitive most kids are. Demons Slayer is a show where every single enemy has to be decapitated to die and yet it's ve...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

As a kid, I was exposue to worse stuff than what I see in anime like DB. I had to read the Bible at a young age because my family was Roman Choathic and the stuff that read was truly shocking and disturbing. Same here, some religious stuff scared the fuck out of me when I was young, so all of those...

Re: How would you introduce Dragon Ball to Gen Alpha?

One Piece seems to be pretty popular with the younger kids, I've watched film Red on the theater and there were plenty of children there, so I don't think pacing would get in the way in the case of Dragon Ball. I'd just say that they should try watching the show from the start, and then let them fig...

Re: Power Levels should have more relevance

The power level readings would get so high that most people wouldn't even be able to read them, they'd have to be displayed at scientific notation at the very least. Keeping track of who's stronger than who with numbers isn't really helpful, specially when you get to six or seven digits, it becomes ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z - Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans Remastered BD petition

I don't see Toei doing anything with Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans at this point, unless they make a new version called "The plan to erradicate the Super Saiyan God" to tie in with a new video game or something silly like that

Re: Do you like fusions?

I like the concept of merging two characters into one and the many implications this could have narratively, but in practice, Fusion is just a tool to make stronger characters without having to come up with anything else, which also means that fusions is only useful as long as the writer can't come ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

I think there's a chance we could be getting Z Movie 13. It takes place not too long after Boo, so they won't need to edit the models of most of the main cast, and the story leaves room for it to be expanded with side quests and whatnot
