Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims
Ace people, or even just generally straight and queer people, who are not comfortable with sexuality being paraded around in media and advertisement are not necessarily "prudish conservative weirdos." Well, it's one thing feeling uncomfortable yourself , and deciding to avoid media that i...

Re: What Kind Of Transformations Could Non-Saiyan Characters Get?
There is a fanmade transformation for Piccolo already, which I personally find awesome. https://youtu.be/wGgXBfszxgs As for the others, they could benefit from pretty much anything that was accessible to Goku and Vegeta. Time Chamber, Whis' Trainings, gravity rooms. You don't have to be a Saiyan to ...

Re: Could have Yamcha cheated on Bulma...with another guy?
Could and could not. We can never know unless stated canonically.
But if he did, I'd place my bets on Tien.

Re: Goku is a disaster as a father, according to Akira Toriyama
Well he ain't wrong. Goku's emotional intelligence appears to decrease gradually over time. And I think us fans put much more thought into the characters than any of the writers ever did, maybe too much. The show started as part fable part caricature mixed with 80's gags, and then they wanted to get...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims
Despite all of the problems with Roshi's behavior, I still think there is plenty of humor to be found in it. Obviously not everyone will find it amusing, but for many it's enjoyable. Of course sexual assault has no place in a children's cartoon to begin with, but I still think the Roshi gags in the...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims
I can't express how refreshing it is to see that there are DB fans actually challenging Roshi's behavior as we know it. Until now, every time this was brought up on other DB forums, people were laughing it off and sweeping it under the PC/SJW/Cancel Culture rug. It doesn't even have to get down to U...

Re: Most Overrated Character (Besides Goku and Vegeta)?
From the top of my head I'd say Roshi. He was a key character in the original Dragon Ball, which retired to background comic relief in DBZ. But ultimately he did gave up on training as he reached his maximum potential and got old. So why the hell did they pump him up so much and bring him on par wit...

Re: Does Goku get too much credit for turning villains good?
It might be often implied or so we were made to believe, but there's no credit for Goku except for Krillin. Yamcha stuck around for his own selfish reasons and then fell for Bulma. Tien was moved by Roshi's words during their fight and that's pretty much it. Goku helped move the plot further but was...

Re: Can DB Ever Move Past Goku?
In my honest opinion the series should have stopped altogether after the Cell saga. When it was at its perfection. In this last saga there were key moments which triggered development in most of the characters. If anything, a good story would have let things run their "natural" course and ...

Hello :wave: I watched Dragon Ball head-to-toe and became a fan for the first time in 2016.

Re: How many times could Perfect Cell been prevented?
To address your points. - Tbh that point was mostly addressed as a joke by TFS, even though I think it still crossed the mind for some of us. - Bulma knew the location of the lab all along. Piccolo did want to try that out, but Vegeta disagreed because he wanted a good fight. Funny that Vegeta was ...

Because A.T. simply forgot about it or because it would've made Piccolo too relevant.
