Dragon Ball is at a point where everything is canon in its own way.

Re: What limits Tenshinhan?


Did Toriyama just forget Tenshinhan was supposed to be stronger and way more committed to martial arts than Kuririn?



Honestly, once the Taiyoken(Solar Flare) became more of Krillin's attack than Tien it was wraps for Tien.

Are Games Only Dubbed in English?

TLDR: Why DB games don't get dubbed in other languages more often? I notice they only appear in mods.

Howdy,

With Sparking Zero having a good release, and quite honestly Dragon Ball having a gaming history only Naruto can compete with...it got me thinking. For non-English speaking countries are ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread


The dub being embarrassing isn't new. Just wish we didn't have to deal with dubtitles.


How is Trunks saying "No Cap" embarrassing? It's in character and still fits the translation believe it or not. I can see it being a dubism if Vegeta or Goku said it.

Besides the fact people will continue to call Ebonics, "Gen Z Slang" or "Internet Slang"...

Kid Trunks saying "No Cap? Let's Go" is in-character, kinda funny, and a harmless dub change that fits with modern times. It might age poorly once the term "No Cap" phases out of mainstream slang but in this ...

Did Any Japanese Voices Get Better?

Howdy,

We always talk about how some dub voices got massively better as the show went on. Then Kai, Modern Z Movies, and Super had the best performances for that specific language. This is commonly used for Funimation but I've seen other dubs get that viewpoint as well

So to switch it up has any ...

When I was younger I used to be deep into canon debates. Now I just don't care. I treat anime canon almost like Family Guy. Outside of manga adaptations, every DB series is its own thing that's free to reference anything in DB lore even if it don't quite make sense. If one series wanna have King Kai ...

I prefer to apply Occam's Razor.

They don't continue the Super series because the Tournament of Power arc is the perfect and definitive conclusion for the Super storyline.

I hate to say this but I DID hear that Z Fighters was a thing in the Japanese anime and that in the early Funimation Ocean dub they changed this to "The Defenders of The Earth". I am NOT sure 255% but I think that might be the reason.


In the manga, Toriyama collectively refers to the main cast ...

In the manga I more or less have him as strong as Ultimate/Mystic Gohan before he transforms. That leaves only Buutenks and Buuhan stronger than him. Super Saiyan made him strong enough to dominate Buu.

However I will entertain he's as strong as Buutenks which only leads to Buuhan being stronger ...
