Re: Dragon Ball Theme Park

NGL at first I was pretty taken aback by this, but I remembered that they also made the "Little Asia" festival/park in Jeddah. I am still a bit surprised though that the fundamentalist Islamic government of Saudi Arabia would open a park dedicated to a fictional story that involves heathen...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Good chapter, actually. The fighting scenes were very well paced and enjoyable, the jokes were funny (except for that one about Pan) and the ending sequence was fittingly melancholic given the recent passing of Toriyama. Very wholesome read, would absolutely take stuff like this over the Granolah ar...

Not sure if this was shared before, but this compilation of football fans’ tributes to Toriyama before the game absolutely made me fascinated. It highlights just how international Dragon Ball’s appeal and inspiration was.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I can’t believe it. The man who had captured the hearts of millions of children and inspired a generation of artists has died… I speak for myself and most of us here when I say: he had a profound impact on our lives through his work in Dragon Ball, and will continue to do so long after his passing. ...

Re: Coolest female?

18 is bae-teen, but I would give the edge over to Caulifla. She is a leader of a gang, very confident (if a bit cocky), ambitious, and strives to improve her own skills. I respect how she went up to Goku as both a teacher and an adversary at the same time during the ToP, as I’m pretty sure it’s not ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Film and television writers don't write dialogue like how people speak. Nobody does. The dialogue is always stylized in one way or another, and it never matches the more fractured way that people speak in. To add on to this, the characters of DB (and most other shonen manga) cuss left and right and...

Re: Unique dragon ball openings

Apparently, the dubbing studio in Portugal couldn't get the original instrumental of Arianne's opening (the French dub one), so they composed a new one which sounded like something coming from a lottery show: https://youtu.be/FystCy_7aHU?si=L7fWN2sDcRm3Uoea I dont wanna be mean but god is the Portu...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Nerdy Dragon Ball fans (usually all cishet men) acting like the 'gymbro' ruins the fandom is honestly really insufferable. Let's be real, the types of fans who whine about wanting to see more macho stuff in Dragon Ball probably don't really go to the gym regularly, if ever. They're more likely to j...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Wait...if the name means "Great Evil", then could the setting of the opening shots of the trailer be the Demon Realm (from where Dabura came from?).
If this series actually starts exploring the Demon Realm, then I would REALLY be into that!

Seems like Babidi (or someone related to Babidi?) will play a role in the plot. I wonder if he had anything to do with the de-aging wish.

It was not what I would have expected but I am so starved for content I will take any fucking premise at this point hahaha

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I think it would be awesome to see DB again on TV. Even if its the twilight of Television and there are even rumors Disney wants to get rid of ALL their TV channel including ABC (!!!) but I would love to see it. I can see it in Paraguay where Dragon Ball is on two major channels, but I would love t...

Re: Fan Works Explosion

I just love the way Fenyo has been drawing to Base Goku's and Bardock's hair lately. It would be a good alternative to use in the series instead of Goku, Bardock, Goten, Turles, Goku Black, Goku Jr having exactly the same design. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F4FF5YjaAAIC-4k?format=jpg&name=small...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

I find the added humor is funny but only in an ironic sense. I don’t think they were actually beneficial to the actual show though.

Re: What do you think Kami and Nails would have done with themselves?

I believe Nail would eventually accept that he should stay fused with Piccolo, since he would likely have trouble finding a purpose with this second chance and he’d know he and piccolo would be weaker as separates than as a fusion. Kami, if he could ever get unfused, would also want to fuse with Pic...

Re: Overrated and Underrated voice actors

Underrated Mayumi Tanaka : I feel like her performance as Kuririn is every bit as good as Masako Nozawa's Goku and she doesn't get half the recognition I absolutely agree. Hot take: Mayumi-san can pull off a “boyish” voice as good—if not better—than Masako Nozawa. I will go with English VAs for my ...
