Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Yeah, I also hope they animate the rest of the DBS manga. Those parts at least had some amount of input from Toriyama. And while I'm sure we will get plenty of new animated DB content for years and decades to come, it would feel weird to have manga content that the man himself was involved with neve...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

from what you say I guess stupidity runs wild throughout "fanbases". If nothing else, you've certainly mastered the art of simply calling people with viewpoints other than your own "stupid" but doing it in that vicarious "probably technically not breaking any forum rules be...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Nobody takes Dragon Ball beyond Toriyama because their hands are tied by executive and Toriyama meddling. When you create an environment where creativity is artificially stifiled to try and match the needs of executives and Toriyama, of course you're going to wind up in positions where the artistic...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Canon is no reason to experience a work of art. Not if you use "canon" in the sense of "what is official continuity". But when I say Toriyama "canon" it's in the sense of being the main artistic vision behind the entire Dragon Ball world. Art is defined as an act of so...

The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I hope this topic doesn't overlap too much with other already created threads. But while we have a thread about the future of the DB franchise without it's creator, I wanted to create this thread as well to be more about the end of the fan-percieved notion of "Toriyama canon". Much like ho...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

There is SO MUCH I want to write about this, but I feel like if I tried express everything that Dragon Ball has meant to the world and everything it has meant to me, this post would just go on forever. For the moment I'll just refrain from actualy talking about Dragon Ball or about myself and instea...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

My boi Gohan gonna be stronger than Goku next chapter, I know it. It's good to be a Gohan fan right now. Even if Goku kicks his ass due to being a better fighter (which I wouldn't even mind), just seeing Gohan suprpass Goku in sheer power for the first time since the mid 1990's in terms of real time...

Re: Power Levels should have more relevance

Whether or not they bring back actual power levels, I do think they should definitely try to start paying attention to characters strenght relative to each other again like what was the case during Toriyamas original manga and it's anime adaptions. Back in the olden days, you usually knew which char...

Re: Is Dragon Ball the biggest manga/anime series globally?

The Pokémon anime is definitely the anime that have seen the largest exposure to the worlds population over the years. Pokémon as a franchise is a worldwide super phenomenon, in fact it can be described as THE worldwide super phenomenon based on revenue, and as such I can guarantee you that if you w...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

What would happen if Trunks hit Final Gohan with the Spirit Sword? Like if Gohan didn't even try to avoid it and just let him. Would Gohan be damaged at all?
