Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

I don’t really see the point of starting to remake the arcs if they’re not going to finish them. It just ends up making everything more confusing. I thought the idea was to rework Dragon Ball Super into a more seasonal anime format, but if there’s going to be gaps between arcs, that kind of defeats ...

Re: Crossover that should happen

I would like to see the Yuu Yuu Hakusho cast getting fed up with Gokuu's shit lol.
Despite attempts to group Dragon Ball with Naruto and One Piece, I think Yu Yu Hakusho is the closest thing to being a "sister" series to it.
They are contemporaries, so there is a lot of shared DNA from that point ...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Just saw some stuff about how the model is not made by ArcSys and how many re-used animations there are and last but certainly not least that fucking copypasted png on one move. Can't stop lmao'ing at it all.
Guess it's fitting for it to be a bootleg re-used character.

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

The story of these arcs was always fine. When you go back to the old threads, you'll see that the major complaints were always about the "ugly artstyle". This remaster fixes that. The scenes in this trailer look absolutely stunning.
People didn't like them because the movies were better. At least ...

Dragon Ball vs Capcom would be an amazing title.

Perhaps they could even include other Toriyama characters.

I love how they are trying to capture Daima's art style with this character. Just look at that Super Saiyajin 3 face at the beginning. Also, the pose he does with his hands. It's perfect.

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

I think the artwork and colors are looking pretty good! It's nice to see them moving away from the plastic Yamamuro look of the original. It looks a bit grayish (it's hard to describe). Nothing major, though.

Also, it's nice that they are already showing us Freeza. Let's keep the ball rolling. I ...

Re: Who is/was Tablos AF?

It must be interesting to have created something that became so popular over the years. Sometimes it even feels like Super Saiyajin 5 has always been part of Dragon Ball. If you search for it, only one design really shows up, and it’s that specific look everyone recognizes.

It makes me wonder if ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

To be clear, Goku in the manga never had any problem accepting the fact that he’s a Saiyan, at least not past the initial shock of the reveal. Even as early as the Saiyan arc, he has no problem letting Kaio know that he’s a Saiyan. Pretty much every scene of Goku rejecting the notion that he’s a ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

Obviously.
However, my point is that not enough is actually done with it other than making Goku stronger for me personally to have found it enjoyable.
That’s fair. I’m not trying to argue against your taste.
But if you see this as a problem, I don’t think it really comes from the Namek arc itself ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I see where you’re coming from. It could have been explored more in the movie, sure. But I do think part of that idea is conveyed through the fight itself, especially in how Goku and Broly start to understand each other in the middle of the battle.

Even if it’s not fully developed, it’s still more ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

I can see where you're going, but at no point in the entire story did I buy the idea that "training hard" actually paid off. For one, what ultimately solved the problem was still Goku getting stronger through magical means, namely getting angry, which I would argue isn't narratively satisfying ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Broly is basically a prettier Resurrection F.
To be honest, Fukkatsu no F wishes it were even 10% as good as Broly.
The biggest difference is focus. Broly sticks to its core idea, the three surviving Saiyajins and how their stories connect, and everything in the film builds around that. In ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

Your "several arguments" boiled down to "Well, Goku trained hard before and was still leagues behind Freeza."
Which I thought was weak.

In the same vein, I could argue Post-Powered-Up Gohan trained hard with the Z-Sword before and was still leagues behind Post-Fused Boo and Vegetto. Or that Post ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

My point goes back to what people where arguing before: That they think Gohan beating Boo after sitting on his ass for hours and doing nothing would feel unearned, so they're glad Gohan's story got co-opted by Goku and Vegeta again in the end. To which I counterargue: Goku and Vegeta had several ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

I think I may have said this before, but Dragon Ball is actually a very impressive story when you take everything into account. Toriyama had a highly unorthodox approach to writing, yet the narrative still flows remarkably well. If you start from chapter one and follow the story through the Boo arc ...

I'm from Brazil, where only the original DB was dubbed for its first 60 episodes before being cancelled and only redubbed and brought back years after Z was successful in the CN airings it, so... Yeah.
