This got me wondering about Akkuman. His ears, if he has any at all, are hidden behind his... whatchamacallit. Onesie? Doesn't seem like there's any particularly big pointy ears in there. Akkuman does say he's from HELL, not the demon realm. So maybe he's not even a demon, but more like a... devil ...

Huh. The characters page on the Sparking Zero website now lets you browse different sections. Like showing only Z characters, or only GT characters, or Super, or movies... or original Dragon Ball. Which only has kid Goku in it for now, but it being an entire separate section means there might be ...

Can't believe I didn't catch this sooner, but that should say March 8th of course.

^ In Sparking Meteor I've currently got all the Buu forms equipped with an item that gradually restores their health, representing their regeneration. They could implement something like that.

On a separate note, the reason I'm confident Z movie characters won't be in the base game (but could still ...

We've seen 139/164 characters so far, and I feel like it's getting easier to predict what the rest of the roster is gonna be:

-Remaining Boo arc characters from Sparking Meteor: Kaioshin + fused Kaioshin

-Remaining pre-Z characters from Sparking Meteor: kid Goku + great ape, Chichi, Namu, Ha-chan ...

When the gang first gets attacked by Pilaf, Goku chases after Shuu's mech and finds it. It's empty, but Goku thinks it's a person/creature. He pokes it because it won't say anything, and knocks it over. Goku is confused, thinking it was SO pathetically weak that it died instantly.

Also the entirety ...

I don't think Yamcha and Tenshinhan are all that likely to get story perspectives (unless they decide to include pre-Z story material) - I'm guessing it'll be Mr Satan and Freeza instead.

I recall several comments from Roshi during the 23rd tournament, noting how Goku wasn't even breathing heavily at all even after so much exertion and fighting at extremely high speeds. Which would suggest Goku has great stamina.

Dunno if anyone's pointed this out yet, but 82 out of 164 character slots have now been revealed - exactly half of them, in other words.

For what it's worth, the Japanese site doesn't specify Gogeta as being from Super, it's just "Gogeta".

^ When I get up in the morning, I sometimes do some "YATATATATA" air punches to 'shake myself awake', or something. It's stupid. But also funny.

My ideal roster would be one that satisfyingly represents the entire original manga, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for pre-Z characters like Murasaki, kid Kuririn, Giran, Sergeant Metallic, assistant Black in his mech suit, the bear with sword, the pirate robot. Extremely unlikely, sadly, but in ...

This. If you're talking to some random or casual acquaintance about Dragon Ball, pronouncing Saiyan correctly and , talking about Genki Dama and Kame Sennin is just going be needlessly confusing and pretentious.


My whole problem with the discrepancy between sub and dub is that using correct ...

I think the main thing IS simply that the video games never stopped perpetuating the inaccurate names for characters and other things. It's why people still refer to Cell Games-era Gohan as "teen", for example. That's not a dubism, but a video game-exclusive term. I don't think many dub fans use ...

That rant was glorious. The funniest Dissection yet. "Did the plane die? DOES THE PLANE HAVE A SOUL?? WAS THE PLANE EVIL???"

Wrote up my full thoughts on all this a few days ago and figured this would be a good place to post them.
(This is also in response to that Kanzenshuu Twitter post where you called for comments/memories/stories)

Came across something in this interview translation - it still says "Nappa [Chinese cabbage]", while I think it's been established that the name "nappa" actually came from leafy vegetables.

Just did another playthrough in celebration of the anniversary. It's not the most superb amazing game ever or anything, but it'll always have a special place in my heart because of how involved I was in its little community of players back in the day.

Very fond memories of figuring out how to ...

What's amazing to realize about Nozawa is that she didn't become Goku until the age of FIFTY. Her super-impressive tenure as Goku still counts for less than half her life! She had a whole entire life BEFORE her most iconic role.

Just goes to show anything can happen at any age. Don't count ...

Having started out with the dub, it took me a while to come around to the Japanese cast, but I got there in the end and now I adore them. I once tried to make a top 10 list of my favorite DB actors -- and ended up with a list of about 25 all vying for the number 1 spot. That's just how good they all ...
