Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Also, here's the Toonami bumper tribute: https://youtu.be/EgUDezBUq88?si=gEl7NYhV_Vf2J1R9 I was kinda hoping they'd do more, like have TOM say a few words, but I guess it was so short notice they couldn't do much else in time. Is it just me or did Stan Lee not even get this big of a reaction after ...

Fucking hell, man. My father passed away a little over a month ago and this almost hit me just as hard. Rest In Peace, your work changed more lives than you can count

Re: AB Video to release original Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray

Why would FUNimation get film masters back in the 90s? They barely had any money & were just getting started. I don't understand why they'd get film stock at the start. It makes more sense to me that Toei just sent either digi beta tapes, or VHS tapes of the show for them to dub over, then FUNi...

If the specials never existed the story would've been finished years ago probably lol
The specials are time fillers in between the Gogeta Jr/Asura taking breaks. If he didn't do the specials we'd have nothing for months

Re: Did Yū Kondō have any known nfluence on Dragon Ball?

After Toriyama came up with Cell, Kondo wasn't keen on the design and said he should have a transformation. And then he hated Semi-Perfect Cell's design and wanted something better for his Perfect form. He also pushed Toriyama to keep escalating the scale of the fights. I think he and Toriyama also ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Not necessarily saying it's a fault... But an oddity unless there's some logical explanation to it. I just drew attention to it because the realization coming after Vegeta not sensing any killing intention yet mentioning later on such is specific for SSJs comes off, apparently, as contradictory... ...

Re: The Cell Saga is the most existential in the series

good post To add to this, a key part of this arc and something that greatly differentiates it from the Buu arc is that while a lot of the story developments are triggered by characters making horrible decisions, all of the bad decisions in this arc are driven by established flaws and quirks in ever...

Re: Goku letting Vegeta go is a very touching scene

Nobody Goku fought in original Dragon Ball was as strong as Vegeta. In his own words all that training he did in the afterlife and he still couldn't compare. Why would Goku keep Tao or Daimao or Piccolo Daimao's children alive when he became much stronger than that? Piccolo Jr already set a precede...

Re: Goku letting Vegeta go is a very touching scene

That's the thing, though - this happens AFTER the fiasco with Frieza, where after giving the man a zillion chances, Frieza kept betraying Goku's trust; to the point where he expresses regret to Trunks for going easy on him. So even though the text doesn't explicitly say this, you can infer that Gok...

Re: Goku letting Vegeta go is a very touching scene

There's also other instances, like someone said above, where Goku just doesn't care about "Oh, someone is suffering, I gotta help them, because I'm so good and pure!" Cell was clearly suffering being beaten by Gohan, he was puking out, bleeding bad, in clear disadvantage. In that instance...

This is why I set up the cannon like Dragon Ball - Z - GT (Battle of gods + ROF kind of messes things up tho but it's branded as Z) Dragon Ball - Kai - Super/Daima (as of now) - Broly - Super Hero Z timeline is more Toei focused and the Kai is more Toriyama focused And then there is the Manga wich ...

Re: I realized a horrible thing. If Toriyama dies or retires Dragon Ball AF will be a thing

You say this as if Shueisha wouldn't be heavily supervising Toyotaro's ideas and wouldn't nix ideas that directly originated from a fan property. And also not knowing if Toyotaro even has interest in that anymore.

This isnt the "Just bash whoever you want" thread. NO ONE like's that performance so you have to pick an overrated perfomance and an underrated one in your opinion.
