Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?
It's a bit more complicated than that. In the manga, there are two "Buuccolos," the one with Piccolo and the kids that you're referring to, and the one with just Piccolo, which everyone forgets. The differences between the two are pretty stark. https://cdn.staticneo.com/mg/2014/11/piccolo...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*
Weren't there also some rumors swirling around earlier this year or some time thereabouts regarding a webseries reboot of original Dragon Ball? I honestly forget for sure (and I would really appreciate it if someone who remembers what I'm talking about would detail me in), but I swear I saw some chi...

Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors
And yeah, I totally agree about Gohan. NEVER made sense to me that FUNi always called Cell Game Gohan a "teen", going back at the very least to the first Budōkai game in 2002, when he's supposed to be 10 or 11 then (depending on whether you're reading or watching). And ditto Boo arc Gohan...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
True, apparently they even did stuff like marketing OPM as "Shounen" in the US meanwhile it's not even made for the WSJ section of Shueisha. I mean, OPM is literally published in Shueisha's seinen magazine Young Jump lol. In my experience, a very large percentage of western anime fans don...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Also, apparently Sentai Filmworks (reincarnation of ADV) was responsible for that second redundant blunder you mentioned, which is weird since they're supposed to be one of the more professional anime importers. Yeah, that was always weird to me too. Sentai's definitely one of the better anime dist...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
If Funimation had to censor "Mr.Satan" why not just call him Hades? I don't think Disney owns the right to that name. It's funny because there's evidence that early on (around 1998/99ish) they were intending to re-name him "Mr. Savage", which I feel would have worked a lot bette...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Just FYI, if you're gonna write Jôji with the mark above the o indicating the lengthened vowel sound (which IS accurate, and I love seeing it!), you should do so for Kaiô as well. The "ô" (or "ō", they're both the same and are just products of different styles of Romanization, i...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Man, I remember being sad to see him go. Not only was he Kaio, he was also the narrator which means he must've been in every single episode of DB and DBZ (and I guess GT and Super?). Unless the narrator didn't say some of the titles. Oh yeah, he was in EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE (and movie and TV speci...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
[On that note, translating the ô in Kaiô as King at all was pretty short sighted since ô can be gender neutral and there are female Kaio and Kaioshin. FUNi's decision to call the Kaiōshin "Supreme Kai" is weird and stupid if you know anything about Japanese. Supreme World/Realm? Like... w...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Kaio's voice actor was Jôji Yanami, who only passed away in 2021. So that was definitely not the reason to have the character stay dead way back when. And honestly, even the in-universe explanation doesn't make sense. After all, Kaio already lived in the Otherworld. Why would he have to remain dead...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
The Super anime generally follows Toriyama's canon and does not acknowledge any of the anime filler of Z. Resurrection F, for instance, contradicts the Hell shown in the anime filler, instead going for a more personal Hell type of thing. I guess we're just gonna forget about the fact that the Super...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Marvel's decrease in quality, though I still think it's overblown, is not on the creative end. It's Disney. They were shifting everything towards Disney +, and there's only so many movies and TV shows you can do at one time before it hinders everything from the writing to the VFX. The DB idea room ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Why would they stall? Dragon Ball Room, created back in 2016, is supposed to " plan things out and create them together ", to " think about future developments ". One would logically assume "stalling" would never be an issue in a situation like this (well, we don't see...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread
It wouldn't be so bad but it's always the fighting that gets dragged out. He covered the movie from its start up till when Gohan showed up at the Red Ribbon Base in just 3 and a half chapters. If there was any place to pad things out it was while pretty much everything was going on. Now the past 3 ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread
That was probably the worst chapter I've read in years. That was 45 pages of absolutely nothing. The same tired childish antics, starring two of the worst characters in the series that covered just 5 minutes of the film. There's still 20 minutes worth of film left, this is gonna be dragged on for t...

Re: Toriyama and Toyotaro are bad at writing female characters/female Warriors
Thanks for letting me know, I don't believe I watched DBZ movies in other dubs, I think I only watched them once and no more. I was unaware of the huge change in name for the movie characters. The only one I was aware was Big Green, which is very dumb. The Japanese name makes sense the puns. I thin...

J-Stars Victory VS in 2014/15, J-Stars Victory VS is a really fun game, I completely disagree with your take on it. It's Jump Force that sucks ass.
