Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

Does this episode indirectly make Trunks seven years old in DB/DBZ's Majin Boo arc, or am I misunderstanding the timeline explanation on the main website's "Dragon Ball Daima Episode 001" page?

A "Rare 1996 Illustration of GT Kid Son Goku" by Toriyama: True or False?

Allegedly, there is a "rare 1996 illustration of GT Kid Son Goku" that Akira Toriyama drew for "a private supplementary education institution in Japan." Is this true, or was this made by someone else?

Shueisha Adopting Funimation's Name Spellings

Those of you who don't use Funimation's name spellings, how do you feel about Shueisha adopting and currently sticking to those name spellings (or other, non-Funimation spellings that the Kanzenshuu staff decided not to use), using them in the titles of popular works, using them on the front covers ...

Dr. Uiro, Dr. Willow, Dr. W?

The character's (usual) name is Dr.ウィロー Dokutā Uirō , and the name "Uirō" comes from a candy called "uirō" (ういろう). "Dr. Uiro" is used here on Kanzenshuu presumably because of this.

However, an alternate version of Dr. Uiro from the Super Dragon Ball Heroes series was called Dr.ダブリュー Dokutā Daburyū ...

Re: Would Kanzenshuu Go with the Official English Title in Japan or the Japanese Title?


This isn't really a hypothetical:

See the 2013 theatrical film , where we list both a translation of the Japanese title, as well as its official "English title" "in Japan".

Related but slightly different: We adapted to Resurrection 'F' for the 2015 film (from our original "Revival of 'F ...

Would Kanzenshuu Go with the Official English Title in Japan or the Japanese Title?

When a Japanese work—particularly a comic or a light novel—has an official English title alongside the Japanese title on the work's front cover (not in the work's logo, but somewhere on the work's front cover), but the English title is fairly different from the Japanese title, would the Kanzenshuu ...

Questions About these Quotation-Mark Placements

This might come off as dumb, but why are quotation marks usually put around the 未来 mirai in “未来”トランクス ("Future" Trunks) and the 兆 kizashi in 身勝手の極意“兆” (Ultra Instinct "Sign"/"Omen")? I'm thinking it's just for placing emphasis on those words, but I'm not sure. I don't know whether or not this is a ...

In general, was Fu supposed to be some kind of rival or archenemy to Time Patrol Trunks / Trunks: Xeno? Their designs as babies are similar, their parents seem to reflect each other (Mira and Vegeta; Towa and Bulma), and they are on opposing teams (time-cops vs. time-criminals). If I remember ...

Re: Legendary Super Saiyan is weaker than a Super Saiyan 2?

From what I found, there's no part of Daizenshuu 7 that states Legendary Super Saiyan is "weaker" than Super Saiyan 2. But, I know that there's a "Super Saiyan Genealogy" section in the final supplemental Daizenshuu ( TV Animation Part 3 ) that talks about the Super Saiyan forms seen in the anime ...

4th Volume of DBGT Anime Comic

Is there a fourth volume of the Dragon Ball GT Anime Comic, or is it still just the three Evil Dragons-arc volumes? Also, if there's anyone who has them, could you show me some pages of the comic's Ultimate Dragon Balls arc, please?

Re: The canon manga events in the Heroes manga CC timeline.

Goku and Vegeta already know how to merge into Gogeta by the events of Universe Mission!! , and since the main timeline follows the Dragon Ball Super anime, I inferred that the Broly movie's events (or some alternate version of them) happened before Universe Mission!! instead of some random, unknown ...

Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?



I like to think of GT as a what-if version of the events. What if Beerus never woke up.

Definitely not something part of timeline N°7.


I feel like it can also be the other way around, in that Super is "what if there were 13 universes, each having a Hakaishin & Angel, a grand ruler ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Kai" Continuity?

So it's like the Dragon Ball GT Anime Comic where it's just another way of viewing the series, and it doesn't produce a new continuity because it's just screen grabs from the show with speech bubbles. Kai is a re-edit of the original series; it's not a separate continuity from that.

But, overall ...
