Re: The best translation for “Migatte no gokui”?

I'm a translator here. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking 身勝手の極意 means "secret of selfishness" (I think the DB Wiki lists as that). The word 身勝手does mean "selfish, self-centered, egotistical" however, that's not the intended meaning. The characters are supposed to be r...

Re: 2021 Dragonball Game predictions?

I hope it's a JRPG, in the style of the old card game system like Legend of the Super Saiyan for the SNES and the DBZ I and DBZ II for the NES but I doubt that would be popular anymore.

Re: Do diverged timelines have their own past

I've never even thought about timelines having their own past.

I do want to see how Goku would have defeated Freeza in the original timeline. I know he'd probably uses Instant Transmission to get to Earth to fight him and his army but I want to know if he'd take them down mercilessly like Trunks.

Re: How do you explain this?

Everyone's replies are great.

I also think that Vegeta (and I guess Nappa and Raditz) was just a natural at conquering planets so Freeza kept him in his employ.

Re: Things I've noticed about ki blasts

I love this thread! There's also slashing/slicing attacks like Kienzan and the various ki blades (not keyblades you filthy KH fans). I also wonder if mystical abilities such as Mafuba and Clothes Beam use ki. They are depicted as beams. Magic Materialization in general is a strange one because its ...

Re: Things I've noticed about ki blasts

Ki seems to be a very flexible power in the series, which is probably what makes it more long term as compared to something like Hamon in JoJo. That power quickly got replaced because of its limited nature. In the anime(I'm not sure if this happens in the manga, I haven't read it in a while), in th...

Re: Things I've noticed about ki blasts

Ki can also be used to completely cancel out energy attacks as well as any accompanying force that it may possess. Goku did this in an anime scene against Majin Vegeta's ki blast, having made it simply fade away in his hands. Beerus can also do this except it may or may not have something to do wit...

Things I've noticed about ki blasts

So I wrote about this on my blog but thought I'd share it here. I'm having trouble uploading images so if you want to read it on my blog here it is: https://ayakuweb.com/?p=91 I think we’ve all tried to do a ki blast attack from Dragon Ball like Goku’s signature move the kamehameha. But in what ways...

Re: Should Goku and Vegeta sit an arc out?

I think it'd be cool if we could from time to time see how Future Trunks is doing.
