Re: Would the Dragon Balls Still Function if Buu Absorbed Dende?

That's a fair point which I didn't think about, thanks. I'm now inclined to believe that yes, it would be possible for the Dragon Balls to stay active if Boo used regular absorption, since he would de facto inherit Dende's powers.

Re: Would the Dragon Balls Still Function if Buu Absorbed Dende?

Let's not forget that Popo threw Dende out from the Lookout for this very reason, e.g. to prevent him from being absorbed by Boo. It's unclear if Popo would have been wrong, but it's directly stated both in the manga and in the anime.

I actually had to read those panels twice, because I didn't even notice the teacher at a first glance, and I thought that Piccolo was looking at us, breaking the fourth wall.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Lemo versus Mr. Satan. Neither can use weapons, but since Lemo usually wears Saiyan armour, Mr. Satan can wear it too, for fairness. Now I do want to see how Mr. Satan would look in Saiyan armour. Also, since both of them are relatively old at this time, suppose this fight is between their best/youn...

It was hard to avoid all the spoilers (I actively avoided this forum for the past few days), because I wanted to read the chapter in a legit way and be surprised of it, and now that it's finally released in the Shonen Jump app, I gotta say that I loved it, best chapter in a long while.

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

I imagine future volumes won't sell as much since it'll be all Toyotaro and no longer any supervision from Toriyama. I might be wrong, but I read that manga artists are usually required to always have three chapters ready in advance, as a buffer in case problems arise, not sure if that only applies...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Other franchises have been doing great even after their creators died, one gigantic example are the 007 movies, only two of which came out before Ian Fleming's death, and several of them are original works not even remotely based on the books. With that said, I'm probably going to give Toyotarou a c...

I hope it's not the case, but I wonder if he's pulling a Bruce Willis and he's trying to work on as many projects as he can because he knows something that we don't and he's not going to be around forever?
Now I can only hate myself for predicting this 😭

If you're sure it's 102 in Kai, then, according to this, it's 204 in Z. How nice, that's exactly twice.

Re: Did Trunks' maternal grandparents (Bulma's parents) die in EOZ?

Off the top of my head, I don't think we've ever seen anyone dying from old age in Dragon Ball, except for Saichourou's second death (though it's implied that the circumstances were particular).

Re: If Toriyama decided to bring Zamasu back

Perhaps everything that gets erased by the Gods and Zeno don't actually get erased? Just get sent to it's own dimension. Just like the "pruning" done by the TVA in the Loki television series, then. Think of it like this: If Zeno's Erase technique really does erase people from existence, h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

This chapter isn't bad, but the pacing is still painful. I understand that they can't pull 45 pages on a weekly basis, but... some people aren't entirely wrong when they say that this almost feels like filler.

I watched all episodes of classic Dragon Ball (1/Z/GT) in Italian at least two or three times, back in the day, because the internet wasn't really a thing yet, and I defaulted to what my local tv network provided.

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?

Currently? He is forty-five years old, going by the AGE 737 date, and the fact that Dragon Ball Super Super Hero takes place in AGE 782. Don't forget that he spent several years in the RoSaT, though. 782 - 737 might be equal to 45, but Goku is a few years older than that (I should be able to calcul...
