Re: Do you prefer reading the manga colored or black and white....? And also...
The stiff and monotonous colors of the digital full color version make the originally lively and interesting story dull, and the saturation, contrast and color matching of the picture are also very poor. My ideal full color comic shouldn't be what it is now. The difference is like the lighting in a ...

Re: Glenat to release Dragon Ball full color in 2024
Hope they can tweak the color a bit; the original black and white contrast is terrible. Even just applying a filter would make it look so much better.Also, if it's possible, I'd love to see those 3 missing cover pages restored. Just mentioning it; there might not be too many folks here who pay close...

Re: What is your Dragon Ball fandom timeline?
From January 1991 to February 1992, the publishing company in my country (Hainan Photography and Fine Arts Publishing House) released the contents of the first 350 chapters of Dragon Ball in one go, encompassing everything before the appearance of Androids 17 and 18. The advantage of this was that I...

Re: Chinese Language Dragon Ball Fan resources?
I wonder how people search for this kind of stuff in Chinese and if there are any more uploads like these. Don't really have the first clue about possible DVD releases though. That reminds me of something I read while researching Dragon Ball in China. On one site a fan claims any Mandarin version h...

Re: Chinese Language Dragon Ball Fan resources?
That's quite the interesting read, it sort of makes me wonder what a particular other user would have to say on the subject, especially considering the cultural links. I think I can understand mainland China having that kind of problem, though I may need to do more research than the surface level o...

Re: Chinese Language Dragon Ball Fan resources?
Mr. Popo's statement "make your heart still" is akin to Bruce Lee's phrase "empty your minds," be formless, shapeless, like water. "Be as quiet as the sky, quicker than lightning" is equivalent to "water can flow, or it can crash." This is indeed the authentic...

Re: Why does Vegeta still call himself Prince?
I feel like this must actually be one of the most legitimately frequently asked questions of any possible Dragon Ball FAQs! :lol: No good answer. The two most common thoughts I see out there are: - "Prince" was the last formal title he had before the decimation of the planet and race, so ...

Re: How is "Ossu! Ora Goku!" translated in your language?
I know that ora is a self-proclaimed dialect and slang in Japanese, and there is indeed a corresponding regional dialect in my language, but it is rare to see this word translated as a dialect. In most cases, this word is still translated as the most common 'I'. This is because we cannot translate a...

Re: Let's be real. Future Trunks is wasted potential
let's be real. One fact is that Trunks did waste his potential. The surface reason is that he lacked battle experience and his understanding of training was not deep enough, so he and Vegeta both achieved half the result with double the effort. Essentially, I think, it is that he was too obsessed. H...

Re: The Two Most Important Characters.
This is a peculiar matter. In a narrative, story, or tale, apart from the protagonist and antagonist, there are usually 6 archetypes of characters: Protector/Mentor/Window Character – The keeper of the hero’s moral compass. Deflector/Bad example – Tries to pull the hero away with a different moral c...

Re: Is there a quote in DB can match "I liked it" from BB?
If we're looking for a quote from the main character that illustrates a dichotomy between selfishness and selflessness? I think there are two that illustrate it well. DB#419: "Bulma told me once I attract bad guys... and I kinda think she's right! Earth'll have a better shot at peace if I'm no...

Re: Is there a quote in DB can match "I liked it" from BB?
The closest I can think of is Goku letting Vegeta go, and saying "I know it's wrong, but grant me this selfish request" or something to that affect. The big difference between Goku and Walter is Goku was never in denial about his intentions. He knew his bad choices were for him all along,...

Is there a quote in DB can match "I liked it" from BB?
In the final season of Breaking Bad, there is a classic quote: I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really, I was alive! Does Walter White really like it? We all know is half true and half false. Half of it is false because Mr. White doesn't genuinely enjoy cooking, but half of i...

Re: What are some overlooked quotes or moments you enjoy?
I love this moment between Zamasu and Gowasu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWVmscHkOT4 This is such a unique and underrated moment, this scene is often overlooked by the fandom. Dragon Ball isn't a series with complex villains, it's not a series where the villain talks about the philosophy of Go...

Re: What are some overlooked quotes or moments you enjoy?
I really like how flippant everyone seems to be regarding the death of innocents in the Boo arc. Bulma tells Goku Boo is coming to West City? Calm down, we can wish them all back. Boo deflects a Kamehameha and blows a chunk off the Earth, killing millions? Goku doesn't even react to it even when Ba...

Re: What are some overlooked quotes or moments you enjoy?
I like how Cell's perfect form first appears literally the next page after Gohan first becomes a Super Saiyan. On re-reads, this moment stands out quite a bit as all but spelling out that they're going to be fighting each other by the time the arc is over. Except for chapter 382 where Gohan and Cel...

Re: Your Kanzenshuu (prev. Daizenshuu EX/Kanzentai) Discovery & Introduction
There was nothing else for me to enjoy besides Dragon Ball when I was a child. A few volumes of the manga were enough to keep me entertained for years. The aftermath of this is that my threshold for entertainment became very high, and it's difficult for other works to attract me. I'm stuck in DB. Bu...
