Re: Has Super and Daima replaced Z and GT in the modern era?


Nostalgia isn't the reason why people prefers DBZ or why it is beloved.

The only way Super's fanboys can justify liking it is by downplaying the quality and achievements of the classic series.


Let's have real, genuine conversations instead of antagonistic, sweeping generalizations.

It doesn't matter that it's no longer "modern"; what matter is its quality; which is low.

I'm currently planning an insane re-read/re-watch of Dragon Ball that includes Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies, Dr. Slump, Toriyama's many one-shots, Fist of the North Star, and Yu Yu Hakusho, all slotted in chronologically in release order. I want to more deeply appreciate Dragon Ball as a ...

Copying and pasting from a prior thread where I detailed this, so the visual evidence is all right there in one place for you:

Other than one contradiction within Daizenshuu 7* where in the front timeline it lists Bra as being born (a year after Pan) in 780:

Super is factually worse than Daima. You can still prefer it though.

Piririn stems from a fan fusion design contest held in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1995; he was one of the designs Toriyama made as an example to guide contestants on what to do. We guide readers through the entire contest and all of its winners on this page:

Re: Have there ever been post 90s interviews with Toriyama on his creative process?

There have certainly been plenty of interviews post- Dragon Ball (most of which we've prioritized and kept up on in our " Translations " section), but there's very little in the way of what you're looking for.

Perhaps the most notable is one from JUST AFTER Dragon Ball finished: the WIRED interview ...

An obscure question: In the Toriyama one-shot "Sachie-chan Good!!", upon meeting him on the alien craft, Sachie says (in the Viz English translation)that Zarid is a junior martial arts world champion. The DB Wiki (yeah yeah, I know) claims that this is actually a direct reference to the Tenkaichi ...
