Re: Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 on january 25th will have Dragon Ball announcements

A day after I posted in here they announced the Beerus TV reanimation, and honestly it did look really good!! I said before I didn't think it would be necessary for them to do it but I think I'm wrong! Especially since the Moro Movie(?) is going to follow so close behind it lol. It's two cakes!!

Re: Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 on january 25th will have Dragon Ball announcements

Honestly happy that it is the Moro Arc getting an animated adaptation instead of just a remake of super as an entire series.

Completely unrelated, I loved so much of the 2D animation in that short anniversary video, seeing Goku and Freeza fight with a style similar to Toriyama's water colors of the ...

Recent Dragon Ball translation patches

Heya, I've been looking to see if there were any new or updated versions of Dragon Ball translation patches for games like Super Butoden and others on Super Famicom. For as long as I can remember the only versions of the games that I've been able to see translated online were unfinished and built ...

Re: Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 on january 25th will have Dragon Ball announcements

I don't know what to think about the idea of a Super remake, that show had a lot of bumps but I feel like having a redo of a 10 year old show is a little odd instead of trying to create something new out of the arcs from the manga or remaking Dragon Ball which is almost 40 right now. Honestly I'd ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff


That one I'm not sure about, "World Martial Arts Tournament" is just a simplified translation of "Tenkaichi Budokai" (although Viz used this term since 1998), so it's possible other dubs may have went with it, I'm just not aware of any.

Another one that always confused me was in the Blue Water ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff


Yup, Hercule came from the French dub.

For what it's worth "Master Roshi" came from the Harmony Gold dub and "Wolf Fang Fist" was in the Creative Corp Product dub, although the latter could have been a result of both Funimation and Creative Corp Products using the same translations provided by ...

Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff

I've been wondering about where some of the name changes for the dubs come from, because from what I know Hercule was not something that Funimation came up with and was a name from another international dub. Are there any other instances of this where translations were taken from different dubs?

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Recently got my hand on the first three issues of the Viz Monthlys for DBZ!!
They're such a fun timecapsule and the editors notes in the page margins actually tell the readers to check out interviews to learn about the story since the rest of Dragon Ball wasn't out lol

Re: Is there any reason to buy DVDs/Blu-rays anymore when the episodes are streamed online?


I don't understand the mentality of removing a show/movie on anniversary year.
Things are looking really awkward with Netflix these days, so it makes perfect sense this is happening (I think).
How long was Dragon Ball series on Netflix?


It's probably all a failure to renew licenses or just no ...

Re: How you found Dragon Ball, and what you thought it initially was

First exposure to Dragon Ball was on Nicktoons when I was a kid, I remember a lot of the Saiyan and Freeza arcs but I don't think I saw anything of the Android arc when it was airing. Years later DBS was coming out and I kept up with that for a small bit, eventually though after years of looking at ...

I have no idea if it was the same as the current VIZ translation or not. I was pretty out of the scene at the time and I didn't read the Super manga until Super Hero came out and I just read it on VIZs website. Anyways I bring this up because as a kid/teenager in the 00s and early 10s I used to ...

I did some digging and there's not a whole lot of english language articles on anything outside of the viz release.

But I did find out that yeah, other countries did have a monthly Dragon Ball release.

Ever since day 1 , actually.

Granted, it has one small difference between 1989 releases and the present day, with a 1990 article colouring in the part that's missing in "G".
