Kanzenshuu

That's a long way off, but if I actually manage to get there I'll probably either try to write an ending or ask someone to write one for me... either way, I'll try to wrap up the series somehow.

Mm, that might be a task. They'd just gotten into that 'new super human evolution' idea. Not to ...

Sadly, the website of Juuhachi-gou and Mirai Bulma has been inactive for years; I sent Juuhachi an e-mail ages ago and received no reply. However, as I am openly crediting them for their work, I don't think there is any infringement of intellectual property going on in what I'm doing.

Argh. I'm ...

You do have permission from Juuhachi-gou, Mirai Bulma and Mirai Marron to do this, right? Speaking for myself, I wouldn't like anyone essentially reprinting my fanfiction without my permission.

What the hell is the black circle with arms and a cap? :lol:



Some kind of logo for the 1991 Toei Anime Fair... it says 'anime fair,' at any rate. (edit: I think I see the 'to' in 'Tokyo' in there, too, but I've no clue if that's the same 'to' in 'Toei.' Seems like a good educated guess, though ...

Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo in the Buu saga. Mostly for the internal hell on Goku and Vegeta's faces. That Goku just has to choose, and does his best, and ends up letting his kids, Vegeta's kid, and Piccolo die because he has no other choice... I liked it. Implied karma, I guess. That's what ...

I subscribe to the 'a good writer can make anything good' and 'a crappy writer can make you want to gouge your eyes out over anything' school of thought.

That being said--Goten x Bra. Just... sense not making! I can buy 'Oh, Pan has a hopeless crush on Trunks!' I can't buy anything ever coming of ...

Thought of something else... I would have loved if, after the little 'it's a watch!' exchange on Namek, Gohan looked at the 4-star dragonball he was hiding from Vegeta and wondered if Goku was right about Grandpa Gohan's soul being in the 4-star and watching out for him and stuff. Some kind of ...

A female character that is both a) useful and b) able to remain useful against the next villain. #18 was sooooo clooooose... XD

Other than that, I dunno... a little more proof that Goku does things with his family that aren't training or sparring or something. I love the scenes of him taking a walk ...

'Funimations' should be 'Funimation's' and 'dubbing' should not be capitalized.

I'm sorry if I sound kind of blunt, but if you're planning to submit it as an editorial, I thought you might like to know how to make it appear more professional. And on that same note (I hate to sound like a bitch here ...

Aha. I get it now. I tend to count the RoSaT year, and that was throwing me off. Thank you, everyone!

The 'Bra's age' question got me thinking about this, and I didn't want to clutter that thread...

I thought Gohan was supposed to be 11 during the Cell Games (with the RoSaT year) and 18 seven years later. But the Viz manga and other sources say he's 16 in the Buu arc... and normally I'd believe ...

. The 'perfect files' say five, while the English dub says ten. That's both sides. Or as I like to call them 'right' and 'why the hell are you listening to the dub?'

:P

I heard 10 years before the GT dub came out, possibly before they started to air the in house FUNi dub of Dragon Ball on ...

Without reading too many other replies, and actually, I think this is the first time I've seen this scene in either of these two languages. *ducks* Got into the show late and rerun schedules were never very good to me.

It's hard, the Japanese clip has Kuririn's actual death, while the English one ...

I think he has a soft spot for Gohan and Goten too, though obviously not as big as one for Bulma and his son(s).

I've always gotten this impression, myself. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find Trunks without Goten, if you're going to parent one, you'll end up parenting the other whether you ...

Sometimes I wonder if Selfish Goku (seen here, when he gives Cell the senzu, and a few other places) weren't Toriyama deliberately trying to get us to dislike him so we'd like Gohan, who literally IS a superhero, more.

Certainly worked on me! *Gohan fangirl*

Seriously, though. It makes me wonder ...

Personally, I prefer the selfish, 'I want to fight him again' reasoning. I like that Goku has this flaw, I think it's a very interesting one. I think it evolves, too, as the story progresses. It culminates in the Cell Games, where Goku believes that, since he enjoys a good fight, Gohan will, too. He ...

...call Mr. Satan by the H-word...

And all of those edits are really why I don't trust them with much of anything, because they start to get really 4Kids-ish towards the end, and you never know what the hell would come next.

I'll never understand why Viz will say 'Bra,' but not 'Satan,' yet ...

They went to wherever Yamucha's scars came from, I guess. That's actually bothered me before.

I dunno, the only other time I can personally remember seeing Vegeta shirtless, he was SSJ and his blinding golden aura made his skin look a lot more pale. Maybe the selfsame golden aura kinda... bleached ...

You know, after reading all of this (good theories all around!), I have the mental image of Toriyama just... lurking on various multilingual messageboards, cackling to himself as he watches people debate these kinds of things.

"Couldn't let me quit after the Freeza thing, oh no... Well, now you'll ...
