I know this is a real "well umm actually Frankenstein was the CREATOR of the monster" kind of answer, but a "Mandela Effect" is when a large population all collectively have the same false memory — one person individually misremembering is just one person individually misremembering.

Some ...

At the risk of myself adding to the confusion over (1) fans badgering this poor old guy on various platforms, (2) with questions and answers moving between various languages that's clearly losing nuance and intent, (3) resurrecting old threads, (4) [redacted thoughts about this type of content ...

Please do not create a direct response/continuation thread to a recently-locked thread, just because / even if its specific topic creator decided to abandon things (and/or burn bridges). Thanks.

Likewise, folks, please don't needlessly respond with bizarre questions or attempts at comedy to these types of replies -- it just clogs things up, confuses things more, and is a poor showing all around. A couple of these short nothing posts have been removed.

We're here for good-faith, genuine ...

Inb4 "That's way too melodramatic and not Toriyama-esque at all, please don't criticize my favorite writer for his blatant skill issues."


This kind of response is not an actual response -- it's dismissive and unwelcome.

If you want to have a real conversation, please do! If you don't have ...

Things like Power Rangers, Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball, etc. definitely didn't get popular because of the quality of their writing.


Also, Mortal Kombat is a series of fighting video games that ran on that stupid, edgy 90s energy. It came out at the right time to get popular. I don't think that's ...

one would think if they had just given up and decided that there is no continuing Super without Toriyama they'd stop saying the series "will be on hiatus for the next issue" every month. There's no actual good reason I can see why they would keep stringing us along like this if they'd actually ...

Toyotaro almost assuredly has either an ongoing contract or full-time position within Shueisha (one that allows for or has been appended to accommodate for the lack of an ongoing series), and/or also has a non-compete agreement that he cannot simply leave and produce his own, non-Shueisha-affiliated ...

I assume they got confused and thought they were in the "Dragon Ball Super" sub-section...?

My thought on the actual question is that it was probably a combination of Daima still being written while it was being produced (and therefore difficult to plan a spin-off adaptation of it while all hands ...

This is largely a re-paste from a Patreon post of ours , which I share here because I have a sneaking suspicion that there's a large (if not overwhelming) contingent of forum posters and lurkers alike that do not visit the actual main website at all, nevermind follow along with external posts on ...

Who in their right mind would pay $150 for that thing ? :shock:


It's a 2007 release that's long out-of-print.

I see eBay listings that run the gamut from $30 to $200, with the most recent "sold" listing I can track down being for $90 back in April.

If someone really wants it, well, there are ...

That is the first version with no additional CG, correct.

The "updated" version is called "Dragon Ball: Ultimate Edition" and has different cover art, along with three language tracks - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VE43GM

Is this on the official DVDs by Pioneer?


I saw that clickbait Twitter account getting shared around. Of course there's no context.

Yes, these are from the original 1997 Pioneer/FUNimation DVD release of DBZ movie 1 ("Dead Zone"):

What's the biggest, most pervasive, just-won't-die Dragon Ball rumor that isn't already covered in our (fairly extensive!) Rumor Guide over on the main website?

As a regular reader/visitor of Kanzenshuu , you know that we generally ...

I would heavily recommend against anyone reading or using the ancient, flipped, (poorly) translated-from-Japanese-to-Spanish-to-English scanlations for anything!

Is there any particular reason you're not just defaulting to Viz's English translation of chapter 509 here?

Uh... Welcome back, Cure Dragon 255.

Been thinking it a while, myself. Same posting patterns with all the same content. Same IP range.

They always need us more than we need them, and they always come back.

Removed (again).

I think I pretty clearly and directly outlined, right above you, why I think it’s fine to be curious about whether this design is exactly what Toriyama might have delivered…?

Adding onto that, if the subtitle of the game has changed in line with its vision, it’s possible that whatever protagonist ...
