Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?
The idea that King Kai wouldn't bother lifting a finger is also bothersome. He clearly cared about the fate of the Earth during the Saiyan invasion, and went out of his way to help the gang reach Namek, and also played a key role in saving everyone before Namek exploded. I just find it hard to beli...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced
Considering it also pushed 8 mill, Would you say Xenoverse 2 share these qualities? Probable not. That doesn't really refute my point, though. I'm not saying this new game won't sell. What I'm contesting is the notion that FighterZ didn't meet this gold standard for general audiences compared to th...

Re: Anime Still Sells a Lot Of Physical Home Media
Speaking of physical home media, were tapes of the World Martial Arts Tournament ever distributed? Seems like there would be easy evidence to dispute Mr. Satan's claims about the Cell Games being full of parlor tricks.

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?
While it makes sense that Goku didn't keep his body, surely Kami would've just done what he did back when everyone was killed by the Saiyans and bring back the bodies of Yamcha, Krillin, et al. Probably couldn't have pulled strings to keep Vegeta around since the Androids weren't a universal threat ...

Re: What are some overlooked quotes or moments you enjoy?
Goku still needing a confirmation from Videl that she's a girl. Even all those years later, he's still kind of an idiot. It's not one scene, but Kid Goku being completely unaware of literally everything, getting into a cab without money, just wanting to go to Bulma's house. Not caring about losing h...

Re: How's Toriyama doing these days?
. 2) The location where Frieza is revived is described as being the same where Trunks cut him into pieces years ago. It hasn't been elaborated on why, but maybe because you come back alive at the place you die, I guess? The Namekian Dragon Balls were like that, but I don't recall that happening wit...

Re: Are you sick of Goku?
I'm not sick of Goku, and to be honest, I don't think anyone else is either. What I am (and I think many other people are) sick of is the production staff behind Dragon Ball having no particular idea what they want from the series. Goku is not so much a consistent character as the thing they cling ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Trunks TV Special, Movies 5, 6, 7
The dub version of Movie 7 makes the movie far more entertaining than it would be on its own, and not even in a "So bad it's good" way.

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 8, 9, 10
Movie 8 was the dub first script that Chris Sabat handled and it certainly shows. Movie 6's dub was also super-accurate, and that was handled by John Burgmeier (Tien)

Re: Deep Thoughts: The Cell Games
For all the talks fans have of the series going harder into sci-fi even the most sci-fi heavy arc ends up concluding at a martial arts tournament. The decision to make Gohan the main character seemed pretty out of left field. He was no more important than Krillin and Piccolo in the Freeza saga and ...

Dude, he's not saying that doesn't think Gine lied, he's saying he doesn't understand why she would lie. He's essentially saying that the character's actions don't make sense, not that they didn't actually happen. That's why I said you need to read people's posts more clearly. Nearly every argument ...

Re: Deep Thoughts: Movie 4 and The Garlic Jr. Saga
I've said this before, but in hindsight it would've been a lot smarter to have made Movie 4 a Garlic Jr. Sequel while making Lord Slug the filler villain.that way, the continuity shenanigans are gone and an Evil Namekian is an interesting follow up to the Frieza saga

..I wasn't saying they are. I was saying that I don't think the way SS progressed in universe is due to the importance of what had been established conceptually being lost. To me it was a conscious intent because it makes logical sense. Trunks and Goten didn't turn for the funsies. They had more fa...

Re: Gine Appreciation Thread.
It's not "I'm going to die" it's "I might die" Yeah? Exactly. That "might" is what means there's a chance Raditz will ask why Goku was even sent away especially if he witnesses them going to get him back which would be odd. They don't want Freeza to find out but they'r...

Re: Has your opinion on any Dragon Ball media changed over the years?
When Super Saiyan was introduced it was treated as this legendary thing that only happens once every hundred years. Even when Gohan, Vegeta, and Future Trunks all obtain it later on we see the mental and emotional anguish they had to go through to achieve it. And then the two little rugrats just tu...

And speaking of Super Saiyan, remember how Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, and Gohan had to bust their asses and undergo intensely negative emotions in order to pull it off? Goten and Trunks can just do it. They don't even know what it's called. Hell, Goten doesn't even know how to fly and he can do it. Drag...

Re: Has your opinion on any Dragon Ball media changed over the years?
Not that long ago I would've said that the Cell arc was unquestionably better than the Buu arc. The likely reason I would've given is the Buu arc is too comical to take seriously. I also would've said superheroes should be more serious. Now I see that was a juvenile way to view these sorts of thing...
