This isn't a popular opinion, but I'll say it: "Intellectual property" is just a form of rent-seeking. Copyrights, trademarks, patents, whatever form it takes, it's all bullshit. The vast majority of Yamamoto's plagiarism was different enough to be considered transformative by the average listener ...

I suppose you could say Germany and Japan are better off thanks to US influence, but different context there.


Yeah, I was gonna say that WW2 was probably the last time, and even with that story ending in overall success there are a few black marks (nuclear weapons, massive avoidable civilian ...

The last time I checked the Iranian people were crying and celebrating on the street in joy when we took out their leader. The same thing happened to the Venezuelan people when we kidnapped their president. Maybe it's time to get out of your fantasy world?


The people of Iraq celebrated when we ...

I realize we're talking about a fantastical concept to begin with, but simply from a story perspective, I feel this is a bit of a knowledge gap that the audience is simply expected to overlook. As extreme as the particulars may seem, the eight months of training Goku and Krillin undertook to prepare ...

Stay in your moral high ground all you want, but that's not how the real world works. You don't play Mr. Nice Guy with a terrorist regime.


Killing your problems only creates more problems that you have to kill. Do that long enough and other people start realizing that YOU'RE the problem. That's ...

Fixed. No timeline besides the original manga deserves the title of supreme canon.


Because... why? It's old? It's not like there's a creative purity test you can use to separate the manga's original run from the newer stuff, either, because Toriyama's ideas were always beholden to outside ...

They will stop when they're dead. Everybody act tough until he saw his name on the Death Note.


Christ, you sound like a child. I can only hope you are, so you have time to grow up. Life isn't an action movie, and "just kill them" is an appalling go-to response for international relations.

If one timeline MUST be the single, supreme canon, it's the following.

Jaco manga (DB Minus, then the 11 main chapters)
Dragon Ball manga [Kanzenban] (first 329 chapters, Trunks chapter, then next ~188 chapters)
2008 Jump special manga (2 chapters)
Super manga (first ~4 chapters)
Resurrection ...

I love the Tournament of Power because it's "forty miles of bumpy road": a continuous 35-episode battle between 80 combatants, against a dreary, stark backdrop, with a specter of dread over the whole proceeding. It's a slog, but in a way that feels appropriate. The biggest (non-mook) battle in ...

What is this fantasy world logic? Since we blew up their nuclear facilities a couple months ago, we can now sit back and let them rebuild it again?


So your solution is to keep bombing them until they stop? That sounds great until they, you know, don't stop. Which you are already explicitly ...

I guess from that perspective, of appreciating the evolution of music application, I'd put Kai in there as well. But it'd be Yamamoto Kai, followed by Sumitomo's Boo arc of Kai, as I understand that some of his pieces from Boo Kai got reused in Super. Then I'd put DBS: Beerus after Daima.


As ...

I find it interesting that "Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins" was made and released several years before the series even aired in Taiwan. Did they have translated manga at that point? Otherwise, I don't even see the business sense in making a(n unauthorized?) Dragon Ball film if no one in the audience ...

The reason why the Yamamoto English TV tracks of 53 - 63 aren't apart of either of our releases is because iKaos actually attempted a Nicktoons Kai audio sync years ago and ultimately dropped it due to them cutting bits and pieces of any fights, the audio quality being awful and the music being re ...

I have a trivial question about the television-only Yamamoto versions of English episodes 53-63: I thought it was weird that SoM didn't include those as audio options (only having the fan-made reconstructions of the post-52 English eps), and now you and your group make no mention of audio beyond ...

This art piece alone (by Akira Toriyama when Videl fought Spopovich) is more fun than the entirety of Dragon Ball Super.

...So is this thread just a place for you to dump on Super now?

I think that Beast might be a bit more gray, but the coloring differences really don't matter at the end of the day in that respect because it feels like the coloring for this cover is the issue more so than the coloring we see for these forms in the anime.

It'll be interesting to see how the ...

I love the cover, but it makes me even more mad they decided to give Beast Mode silver hair. The duplication from Ultra Instinct really stands out when we see all five of them.

Continuities? So that is how we are calling them now?


The word "canon" has become toxic. It only leads to arguments because it has taken on meanings that obscure what people are actually asking about when they say "Is [a given work] canon?". "Continuity" is relatively uncorrupted in terms of ...

Why didn't Toyotaro draw special comics per each Dragon Ball Super Manga volume?

Umm... why would he? You're saying this like it was an obvious thing to do that he overlooked.
