Dragons and Potara
Do the Dragons have properly corporeal forms, or are they more like projections? If the latter, are they projections from a separate pocket Dragon Realm? Furthermore, if that's the case are they corporeal within their own realm but projections when summoned on a planet? These are all prerequisite qu...

Fusion, and its side-effects to the personalities of its constituents
So, I've been creating headcanons to explain away why Goku doesn't seem as perceptive of the benefits of the spiritual nature and meditation training as he used to be. Sure, we could chalk it up to bad writing, Toriyama's memory, and other reasons like that. They're probably all accurate in some way...

Re: Could Kuririn and the other humans live for 300 years too?
We don't know anything about the history of Baba and Roshi, aside from their ages which calls into question the age of their parents. However, we do know that Baba has some magical abilities. We have to ask, were these gained later in life, or was she born innately magical? She has a strange focus o...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
One thing I'm curious to see the future of, is Dr. Hedo. He's obviously got some serious skills, and is still morally grey even if he loves the "idea" of Superheroes. I think his acceptance into the gang, and the Capsule Corp job offer, happened far too quickly. I really hope he doesn't go...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
I'm torn on Gohan's Beast transformation. I don't like that we had a fairly creatively bankrupt design that was fawned over by production staff. I like the concept, absolutely. The idea that Gohan is actually tapping into some Beast-rage that he exhibited as a kid is a great idea. It basically just ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
I thought the CGI looked decent in this movie, apart from a couple of shots. I particularly didn't like the hair on Gohan's new form. Even though it's spiked up, it should still flow like hair. It doesn't look so bad from the front, but that shot where his head is turned to Piccolo... it just looks ...

Re: Potential fanon explanation for Blue Haired Trunks and why Bulma remembers his hair that way.
Over-complicated explanations to fill plotholes in shows?
That, my friend, is what fanon is all about!

Potential fanon explanation for Blue Haired Trunks and why Bulma remembers his hair that way.
So I doubt this needs much set up, but basically in Super, not only was Future Trunks' hair blue, Bulma specifically remembered it being that way. I have a fanon proposition that can solve this. Original Timeline: DBZ's Android/Cell Saga goes through as usual. However, Trunks' usage of time travel c...

Re: Saiyan Biology Theory - Saiyan Height
Perhaps a genetic quirk. Goten and Trunks were conceived after their fathers had achieved Super Saiyan. Gohan was not. Maybe his growth rate is more similar to a human's, whereas Goten and Trunks may lean to the Saiyan side due to the S-Cells?

Saiyan Biology Theory - Saiyan Height
So we know that the heights of various characters have shifted and been inconsistent over the years, but it seems that a lot of Saiyans err on the short side. For instance, Goten and Trunks' wacky heights in Super, compared to their portrayal in the Buu Saga. We also see inconsistencies with how Gok...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Same here. I really like that every armor has blue and yellow colors (and now dominant is green). It's army after all, so everyone should look the same or similarly. I never liked that in the previous materials Saiyans and Frieza goons had armors with different colors, it was a mess in my opinion. ...

It would've been cool if we tackled the Moro and Granolah arcs as dedicated movies.

Re: Do you think Goku and Vegeta could've worked out as a couple in canon?
Short answer: no. Nobody really "works out as a couple" in this show, outside of providing the next generation of spawn. If there was no desire to have a multi-generational story (or if Torishima wasn't such a softy) there'd be no romantic relationships in the first place. Seems weird to f...

Re: Does SSJG Being Beerus' "Ultimate Opponent" Seem Like A Complete Lie Now?
While it may have been borne from retcons and poor planning, I feel like this is something that can be easily explained away. We have to keep in mind that Whis is Beerus' MASTER, not just his attendant. Thus, any action that Whis takes must be in the furtherance of Beerus' own training. Remember how...

Re: Logical reasoning for Piccolo and Gohan hitting a wall and not advancing with their training.
I'm curious about your disagreement though. How would you define it? I was actually roughly agreeing. By saying it "isn't inaccurate" I'm saying that your take is fairly accurate. In-universe it either has to be stupidity on their part or you extrapolate fanon and explain it away, which i...

Here are a couple retcons that happened in Dragon Ball: 1st - Tarbles Vegeta brother survived, the reason why it is a retcon is because Vegeta specifically says the only full blooded Saiyans were Goku and Gohan in the Mecha Freeza Saga. 2nd - In BoG, RoF and DBS Broly movie Shenron only grants 1 wi...
