IMO: there's a Tier list of "Canon" and whether something counts or not depends on if it gels with or contradicts something on a higher tier.
It goes:
1: The original 520* Chapters of Manga
(*The Trunks Chapter counts)
2: All revival era projects where Toriyama is credited as the primary writer ...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?
Homosexuality has long since been established to exist within THE CANNONS™ of Dragon Ball .
Honestly, ignoring the very real canon gay characters for a second, I am FAR from the only person who thinks Caulifla and Kale are HEAVILY coded gay... I'd absolutely LOVE some future thing to make it ...

Re: Crunchyroll releasing "Dragon Ball Super Complete Series Limited Edition Blu-ray"
I've been waiting for a cheaper re-release and this is WAY cheaper overall. (All 10 parts at MSRP is like, $400+) so this is an instant buy for me.
Guess they won't do seasons sets.
I better start getting the parts now.

Re: Dub-fans, was there an adjustment period for you when Goku started to be portrayed correctly in DBS?
*Dusts off old account* been a while.
I'm on the side who thinks Super Goku is easily consistent with Late manga/Z Goku.
There's SOME obvious exaggeration, but I think a lot of the criticisms are overblown and I honestly think I know a few reasons why.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
How many times do we have to point out that calling Piccolo asexual isn't changing or retconning anything? It's just explicitly stating something that has been true from the beginning.
Bingo.
He always fit into this description. It's just now we have words that directly describe it.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
This grand statement about "Just wanting GOOD representation" and "Only Bad representation is Identity politics" line of reasoning rings hollow when there are scores of people ready to declare anything and everything "Identity Politics" at the drop of a hat.

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character
In the meantime, LGBT+ audiences are told to eat the bare minimum we're given-- even when it sucks (which is most of the time)-- and are ridiculed for "identity politics" when we publicly voice our want for more representation.

OKAY. Who's watching Toonami? Who heard that Kai part of their line up trailer with the spoof scene? WAS THAT WAS MASAKOX AS GOKU AND LANIPATOR AS VEGETA?! Guess we might be right about the TFS guys playing the parody characters.

Re: Let's talk about Trunks...
Ok, I just rewatched the fight and I think people are definitely overreacting on the complaining about Trunks' power. Sure, he got some kind of boost from anger recently, as well as, I would argue a ton of Zenkais he no doubt got from the multiple beatdowns and senzu recoveries he got over this arc ...

Re: Fan Made Dragon Box Project
How are you going to handle GT (if you are going to handle GT)? the GT singles have NEPs, but the Green Bricks have original Japanese music as an option for the dub. So basically singles are better for Japanese audio track and green bricks are better for English)

The introduction of specific Battle Power Ratings via Scouters was one of the single biggest mistakes in the manga. I honestly feel it was born of lazy writing, and it happened in the Saiyan arc.
