Some things I noticed that weren't pointed out by Herms. When Vegeta tells Nappa that they should search for the man with the highest battle power on the planet, he originally presumes that the man who murdered Raditz might have been Kakarot's son. This assumption was left out in DragonBall Kai. In ...

This is where the confusion comes from: http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/anime-manga/dragonball-z/66099-super-otaku-magazine-these-interviews-real.html Anyway, I'm pretty sure that Toriyama confirmed in countless interviews (listed in Daizenshuu Volumes) that he never intended to prolong DragonBall....

I belive that line was actually in the episode. Are you sure, Herms? I recall, at least in DragonBall Z, Piccolo saying that stuff after he tells Gohan "Farewell". In DragonBall Kai, after that, Gohan interrupts him, asking about clothes, foods, etc. Unless they moved that line, I don't t...

From Chapter 207 A portion of Piccolo's dialogue was cut. In the manga, after Gohan asks "stay alive...?", Piccolo responds "that's right, you'll have to survive on you own". In DragonBall Kai, this bit is concealed. It skips to Piccolo explaining that if Gohan manages to stay a...

Thank you for the information. It's very helpful, especially for those who don't have the opportunity to watch the broadcast and don't want to wait months or years until it's released in DVD / Blu-Ray Disc. I'll be watching the episode and make notes on the differences between the manga and DragonBa...

The censorship is very noticeable in the Portuguese Dub. It degenerates from the French Dub with silly terms such as the "Guerreiros do Espaço" (which roughly translates into "Warriors From Space"), and it's filled with censorship that cuts out a great amount of blood. It's very ...

Well, since Herms hasn't made his comparison with the manga yet, I'll post what I find out. Turns out, we didn't get that last bit of Nappa's and Vegeta's dialogue from Chapter 204, where they talk about Gohan and an hybird's potential, but the missing panels with Gokuu vanishing are there. Anyway, ...

Much like everyone else, I prefer the Japanese version. However, it's unfair to me to say that it's much better than the English version, because I never watched the English version. I saw a couple of episodes, but the horrible voice acting, the terrible soundtrack and the painful dialogue put me of...

Yes he said it . During the time Vegeta was fighting Kid Buu , Goku was collecting enought energy to reach full power , and then , use an attack to destroy Kid Buu . In order to do a blast enough to kill Kid Buu he first had to get full power . You missed my point. I'm not saying that Gokou didn't ...

While I do not agree that Kid Boo is stronger than Super Boo, Magneto is right about him being more powerful than Fat Boo. Gokou claimed he could have defeated Fat Boo, but wanted to pass the torch on, so the children could protect the Earth while he was gone. He certainly said the same thing about ...

Nice !

I'm almost done with the information, too. Thanks to Kanzentai, I have almost filled all of the necessary information regarding the Dragon Box. I'd appreciate if someone could check it and correct whatever might be wrong.

[The information that I'm going to edit/change is to my original post]

Definitely ! My biggest problem with VegettoEX's pictures is that they aren't good enough, the photos were taken from a bad angle. By the way, if you could find a similar Gokou Action figure (the angle of Piccolo's Action Figure was perfect), I'd really appreciate. The Box Set of Dragon Box Dragon B...

Thank you so much.

Kanzetai has a lot of information, I was surprised. I was dissapointed by the lack of bigger pictures, but aside from that, I loved how they posted each and every picture of the Dragon Box and how they covered every single detail of relevant information.

Dragon Box

For the last couple of days, I've been trying to get all the information I could regarding the Dragon Box. I digged Daizenshuu EX's older news to find more about it, and most of my the data I've gather comes from Daizenshuu EX. However, there is still a lot of incomplete information which I apprecia...

Can I make a suggestion ? Why doesn't someone with the DragonBox and with FUNimation DVDs, rip small clips from an episode with high quality (the same among both episodes), preferably during a fight between Super Saiya-jins ? It would be perfect to exploit both encodes at quick speed, and noticed th...

Oh, I apologize then.

Sorry for the confusion. Anyway,...
