Aside from the obvious ideas, some of which have already been mentioned, such as Naruto, if I try to think about this, there are a lot of similarities between Dragon Ball's main cast and Inuyasha's.
Inuyasha and his half brother Sesshomaru are basically the strongest characters in their universe ...

Re: Do you look back on your old posts and regret posting them?
My posts here have always been pretty normal. After all, I joined quite recently.
My earliest posts on some other forums, though, are a completely different story. I could barely speak English 25 years ago, and I can't deny that I was bad on top of that. I've been banned from several forums, and I ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?
This trope was bad, but its replacement in Super, e.g. "Buu fell asleep", isn't any better. I guess Dragon Ball really isn't meant for an ensemble cast. Someone recently wondered about something tangentially related to this.

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball will be remembered in 60 years?

Re: What differentiates ki training from simply working out?
One has to wonder how Roshi trains someone who becomes his pupil at a later time, theh, such as Yamcha. I don't think Yamcha did the milk delivery bit and so on, so we have to assume that Roshi is capable of providing traditional training.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
It's like they don't want the main story to proceed, the last chapter wasn't bad, but it ended in like 3 pages with no real content, a couple of encounters and a fight which lasted for less than 5 panels.
But eh, Bojack. Once again, someone please ping me when they'll be back to something ...

Re: Would you prefer Yamcha to be stronger than Krillin?
Tenshinhan was established as a true martial arts genius, someone far more knowledgeable than even Goku when it came to techniques. He was able to copy the Kamehameha just by seeing it once, which really sold how skilled and perceptive he was. While I don't disagree with you about Tenshinhan's ...

FYI, the results are also available in a much more convenient textual format on the original website, in case people don't feel like watching a 16+ minutes video in Japanese.
What a surprise, Goku ended up first and Vegeta ended up second, I'm sure nobody saw that coming.

Re: How many more years the original VAs of Goku and Vegeta around the world will be playing their roles well enough?
Sadly, the best Italian Goku (Paolo Torrisi) already died in 2005. His replacement (Claudio Moneta) will turn 59 this year, so he'll be probably fine for a while.
Gianluca Iacono (the Italian Vegeta since day one) will turn 56, so that's even better.
Ironically, the older of the bunch is Patrizia ...

Finally, someone who agrees with me that Beerus destroying a small piece of rock was the best version of that scene, everyone else seem to think that Beerus pretending to fall asleep is funnier, but I don't like it at all.

3) Kuririn would have lost against Bacterian.
6) Nail had ample chances to get his power unlocked, in fact I think he was chosen to be Saichourou's bodyguard because he got the unlock. Piccolo didn't, of course. I actually can't answer your question.

I apologise if I somehow missed this, but I don't think it's been mentioned: what is the schedule for DBD December this year? I guess it's Sunday 7th / 14th / 21st / 28th, but the fact that today is both Monday and the first day of the month made me dubious.

Just like only two 007 movies have been released before Ian Fleming's death, I'm sure they're going to find an appropriate wording such as "based on characters originally created by Akira Toriyama", or something to that extent, according to his actual involvement (if any at all). The Japanese ...

Re: Character fusing
Indeed, I should have clarified, I meant adult Gotenks. I was actually presenting it as an idea for Super (should it ever resume), since the boys grew up (even if we've yet to see a proper version of adult Gotenks within the Super branch).

Re: Satan Piccolo - Polish only translation?
You didn't want to get me started on this.
In the Italian dub, Piccolo Daimaō has been known as "Al Satan".
Piccolo Junior, from the Tenkaichi Budokai onwards, has been known just as "Junior", up to the present day.
Up to this point, it might sound weird but it's par for the course when it comes ...
