I’m quite pleased to see that this appears to be more of a spiritual successor to prior Xenoverse than anything else. I see nothing of Conton City, the Time Patrol, Trunks, etc. That’s a relief, because if it were essentially just “Xenoverse 2 but with more stuff” and the same history correcting ...

My take is essentially that Goku does love Chichi, but not really any more than say, Kuririn. He seems to think of marriage as a job that he made a promise to take. As far as I know there’s absolutely zero evidence in any official media that contradicts this. Maybe the fact that he had kids with her ...

I’m sure the average person will be familiar with the franchise in 60 years. Whether that’s as an old-fashioned thing that old people like or an active IP with ongoing content and merchandise, that’s another matter. My feeling is that it has an irreplaceable place in anime history, so as long as ...

That long awaited DLC won't drop before summer (yahoo, let's wait for half a year!) and that's what will include 9 DLC characters:
Super Saiyan Bardock, Demon King Piccolo, Super Android 17, Grandpa Gohan, Devilman, Champa, Zangya, Tao Pai Pai and Pikkon.
+ some costumes and stages that fans ...

With the possible exception of the great apes, it seems like they might be making an effort to include all the missing characters from BT3, which would be more than I would’ve expected.


Yeah, it made sense to include the oozaru back when they were scraping for new characters to add (it was a ...

Saiyaman colors and “GS” on the chest must indicate that the mantle of Great Saiyaman is some kind of Capsule Corporation title? If it’s this far into the future maybe it’s some kind of defense force continuity to what Gohan was doing with it? Makes sense for the CC affiliation since Bulma designed ...

It's wild to see that particular stock image of Goku used, I haven't seen it in ages. I remember back in the 90's/early 00's, before Funimation was able to commission new renders, there were about five stock images used of Goku (including that one) that were always rotated between for every promo ...

But if we're categorizing these periods, it's pretty clear to me that outside of maybe Toyotaro's manga, 2025 is the end of "modern". Whatever comes next will almost certainly mark a different era entirely and feel very different from the one we were just in.


Well I can categorically say that ...

Dragon Ball Kai still feels rather recent to me, and yet that was the childhood experience of Dragon Ball for a lot of fans who are now also adults.

At this point I imagine it quite like the pre-BoG era, but permanent at some point. We thought Dragon Ball was done, and no particularly interesting media was happening (specifically in 2011-2013, a dark period for the Dragon Ball games in particular!)... but always having a fondness for it. I have ...

I don't find that particularly difficult to believe. Dragon Ball was doing okay in the post-GT, pre-BoG era. There's been an insane amount of new content since then; the recent films did well, Daima did well, and Sparking Zero just did gangbuster numbers. Even if it isn't always active per se, I'm ...

Age unfortunately not only leads to less energy to hit those higher pitches, but also more testosterone to thicken the vocal cords and make one's voice deeper.


I feel like this is exactly why Goku Black works so well. It’s such an unlikely and unusual situation, having a woman in her late 80’s ...

I definitely noticed it with SSJ2 Youth Gohan’s rush in SZ. She sounds like she has a cold. But, she’s nearly 88. I’d still rather have this version of her than anyone else in the roles.

Trunks (GT) has never been in a Sparking! game. They could add him as a costume though, for sure.

All of the very legitimate and reasonable criticisms of the form aside, I hate that we’re to the point where the idea of new forms isn’t interesting anymore. Imagine in 2008 or something, being told there would be a new transformation in Dragon Ball. The internet would go apeshit. Upon the reveal of ...

A character being hungry and eating extremely fast while everyone else stares in shock. I feel like it happens so many times throughout Dragon Ball. The joke is overdone and was never particularly funny to begin with. Of all the peculiar aspects of Saiyans, it’s the speed and volume at which they ...

Clinkenbeard is clearly a very talented voice actor, so her delivery is pretty much on point. However I can’t help but feel like I’m just hearing a woman try to imitate a boy’s voice when I hear her. I know that’s literally what it is, but plenty of other women who do voices are able to “disappear ...

The current legacy cast members who were selected to imitate the original Ocean cast can only do so much to truly convey a more accurate portrayal. I have a feeling an inspired cast selection, coming from the perspective of producers who know these characters (unlike how it was when they were ...

Just exactly how much Mr. Satan footage do we need...? Feels like he's in most of the trailers at this point. I really don't need to see his special where he doesn't faze the opponent again. Or him pointing at the screen. We get it, he's in the game. Now let's see, I dunno, some more characters that ...

Not sure what makes something "legit." "Frieza" is not technically wrong, just looks silly. Same goes for "Vegito."

I don't care that official Japanese merchandise has officially sanctioned these silly spellings (a tragedy in its own right; there was a certain charm to random variations of ...
