How can one rework Janemba's personality?

Considering the fact that there is a new DBS movie releasing in 2022, if the trend of rebooting old movie villains continues, then how can Janemba's personality be changed? His design is badass, and his moves and techniques are cool as shit, but his personality and character were lacking. So, what a...

Re: At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?

I think the main reason is that it is so much fun. It is also extremely accessible and charming, it doesn't require the casual viewer to be up to date with the story to find enjoyment. You can just sit down and watch it, whether that be a full episode or some random recommended clips on YouTube. I ...

At its core, why is Dragon Ball so loved?

After catching up on the entire One Piece manga in 2 months, I started wondering what at its core, made Dragon Ball so unbelievably beloved.
Going past the cool action, and Badass transformations, what makes Dragon Ball tick?

Re: So why do the potaras and fusion dance give Goku/Vegeta different fusions?

I always associated it with the differences in the creators of the different Fusions. Metamoran fusion is unique in the sense that it is a near perfect 50/50 of the two users, while the Potara seems to have one dominant personality. In the case of Gotenks, his fusion dance equivalent is a perfect mi...

I love the GT version too, just him manifesting a party popper just to shit with Omega

Which Gogeta personality do you prefer?

Do you prefer the Movie adaptation of Gogeta, where he is a stoic, stylish badass who gets the job done quick, or the GT adaptation of Gogeta, where he is a very cunning joker who just gets into the opponents head?

Re: Gohan's hair

I adore the Cell Saga Gohan hair, it finally looks like his own thing, and he just looks good man.

I have nothing against the Buu Saga hairstyle, just the end of Cell haircut is perfect

Re: How do you explain this?

Thanks to some good luck, Vegeta was off planet when the Extermination occurred. Frieza realized that Vegeta could be one of his most powerful lackeys. Of course since Frieza despises the Saiyans, he would have killed Vegeta, sooner or later. If Vegeta never came to Earth and all that stuff never ha...

Re: What exactly is the Rage Transformation used by Trunks?

It was really just an asspull form given to Trunks so that he could stand a semblance of a chance against Black and Zamasu (the arc was named "Future Trunks arc" after all). I mean I guess you could try to find an in-universe reason but it could be anything and nothing at the same time. P...

What exactly is the Rage Transformation used by Trunks?

Trunks' Rage Boost Transformation has always perplexed me. What exactly is this power? Other than the fact that it is a random power up given to make Trunks more important in this Arc, i just wanted to discuss what exactly this power is, from a series point of view. One particular Theory I have hear...

First of all he has such hilarious moves like the Dynamite Punch, or the Chocolate Bomb And Secondly he would be a Ginyu-esque character, but instead ...

Re: Removing Zeno's power with the Super Dragon Balls

As we've seen with Shenron, the Dragon Balls are only as strong as its creator. The Super Dragon Balls were probably created by some very powerful people, so it can grant virtually any wish. But I'm not sure if the creators of the balls are stronger than Zeno. So while it would be nice, I don't know...
