Anyone think Dragon Ball should incorporate grappling into their fight choreography?
So let me explain where this thought came from. There is an amateur fighter named "death sentence", who learned how to fight by watching fictional characters on television. One such character that inspired him to pursue a career in fighting is Goku. However, death sentence would lose almost all his ...

How does the Tuffle Parasite work exactly?
So when Baby infects someone, he is able to leave behind a parasite that's considered a weaker/clone version of him. This parasite can remain dormant in a host and be activated by Baby at will. This was shown when Baby activated the parasite inside Trunks turning him into a slave. Now, it's said ...

It's complete weird that A17 and A18 stopped using their real name
I get that during the android saga, they may have been ok with being called this, having recently been awoken by Dr. Gero and spending years being brainwashed into killer robots. However, both 18 and 17 have families, friends, children and had enough time to acclimatize back to having a normal life ...

Re: Can Bulma make better Androids than Dr. Gero?
As others have said and will say, it's mainly a matter of skillsets and experience.
Bulma simply isn't as experienced in hyper advanced robotics the way Dr. Gero and Dr. Hedo were.
This sounds like a reddit response where you just piggy back and regurgitate what the first responder said ...

How would you feel about AI being used for deceased voice actors?
AI technology is improving every year at an impressive rate. For example, now you can use it to make your favorite music artist sing any song you want them to sing. With that said, with how many Dragon Ball voice actors have died over the past 5 years, I was wondering how many people would be ok ...

Do you think Cell would have given Goku and Gohan a chance to get stronger?
Let's suppose in an alternate timeline, Goku and Gohan went into the ROSAT first and faced semi-perfect cell. Due to a chain of unforeseen events, Cell manages to become perfect and fights Goku followed by Gohan. Now assuming both were defeated by him, can you see Cell being merciful to them, giving ...

What are Physiological differences between living and dead bodies?
So what are the physiological differences between living and dead bodies? When Goku gets to keep his body in the other World, how exactly does it differ from his living body?

Re: Makes 0 sense that Goku and Gohan did not go back in for 1 more day
Goku implied they were near their limit and would just be wasting their time. The Buu saga implies they didn't get that much stronger after 7 years of hard training as ssj Goku was still weaker than Cell games ssj2 Gohan. A lot of the "saiyans and other characters get dozens of times stronger ...

Was Racism forced upon people in Frieza's organization?
Being part of an organization, you often give up some of your identity and have to align your views and beliefs with that company while in public. Given Frieza's hatred and strong disdain for Saiyans, as well as, peoples natural fear of being killed by him for the most trivial of reasons, I was ...

The creator didn't have much imagination and cut the series rather short when there was tons of room to have Yamcha grow.

Re: Toyotaro Is Not the Right Successor. To Me, Dragon Ball Ends with Daima
And what, exactly, is wrong with that? Several characters still get their moments and spotlight. Whether they're humans, Saiyans, Namekians, shouldn't matter if they have interesting character arcs.
It becomes boring. It's like having a tv series where you have a rich multi-racial ...

I've always found the "series bad because main character is....getting the benefits of being the main character" argument to be really weak. I sort of understand watching Dragon Ball Z in isolation one might think it's supposed to be an ensemble show but, the thing isz it's not. So I'm not ...

Re: Toyotaro Is Not the Right Successor. To Me, Dragon Ball Ends with Daima
I disagree. Part 2/Z definitely had very good cast management. I can understand being disappointed that the humans are cast aside, but that's exactly it, they're cast aside in favour of new characters, they disappear from the story once they're no longer useful, instead of just lingering ...

Re: Toyotaro Is Not the Right Successor. To Me, Dragon Ball Ends with Daima
For clarity sake, I don't particularly think any installment of Dragon Ball has good cast management. Doesn't stop me from liking or disliking an arc, though. There are far worse issues.

Makes 0 sense that Goku and Gohan did not go back in for 1 more day
Goku told Piccolo and Vegeta that he did not want to over-train and decided to use the remaining days before the Cell Games to rest up. However, given the hyperbolic time chamber gives you 1 year of training in 1 day, Goku could have easily gotten far more rest in the chamber and spaced out extra ...
