Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?

But also apparently the Dragon Boxes didn't sell very well. This pops up now and again, but has there ever been a source for this?

Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?

I think it's primarily because the universe doesn't want us to have nice things when it comes to Dragon Ball.

Re: SS3 Vegeta

Oh, certainly not in the Boo arc. I liked that it was at least kind of exclusive... I mean, yeah, Gotenks got it too, but at least it's not like every Saiyan started getting it. I also really like that Gohan was brought up to Super Saiyan 3 power without actually achieving Super Saiyan 3. And quite ...

Re: Who composed Rock the Dragon?

I could've sworn it was a Linkin Park song! :lol:

But in all seriousness, I'm amazed that an extended version was used for Budokai, which in the very least, gave us a clean version without voiceover/sound effects in the background.

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

It's really hard to pin down exactly what went wrong because it just looked like a bad combination of things. Anyway, it's okay, life goes on. It's just a bad movie--already mostly forgotten on my end. From what I've heard the original draft was terrible but more in a "so bad its good" ki...

Re: Curse Of The Blood Rubies DVD error

Hm, interesting. It looks like this does exist on the BLT and Funimation releases--even on the VHS. I never noticed it. I guess I'm just used to all sorts of things popping up on these releases. I guess Toei fixed this on their end (or the copy they sent to Funimation was not as clean). Funimation R...

Re: Your watching experience on Toonami

I originally watched Dragon Ball Z when it was airing in syndication. Caught it right on the very first episode. And then, I remember it shows at 6 AM on Sunday mornings. I had already been watching Cartoon Network all the time and when Dragon Ball Z moved to Cartoon Network, I was pretty excited. T...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

Also, you're the one that is twisting things. You're bending the story to try to make things fut that simply don't fit. There is a huge difference in what I am doing and what you are doing: • You: Raditz never showed up. • Me: Bulma and the others greet Gohan normally when he and Goku paid Muten Ro...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

I take the movies as “stories in a different dimension from the main story of the comic . That is not Daizenshuu saying that, it's Akira Toriyama. And that is one of the sources that contradicts your "feeling" that the movies are what-if stories, as Toriyama himself acknowledges them. I w...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

I don't think so. I think so. And with these hints , I don't think I'm alone. I think it's pretty universally known that the movies don't follow the main continuity. Not the "main story" that you grew up watching/reading. But another version of the "main story" is where they fit...

1 - Because I think that's what Shueisha would most likely do if they ever decide to finally do something with the movies. I don't think so. I think it's pretty universally known that the movies don't follow the main continuity. 2 - Because it's easier to lump them all together than to nitpick abou...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

There is something called "leniency" and "open-mindedness". If something is wrong but can be easily fixed, why getting fixated on the wrongness and ignore the solution? This is like saying Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman don't fit with the rest of the manga because of Bulma's age, ...

Re: Did Trunks' maternal grandparents (Bulma's parents) die in EOZ?

I doubt it, to be honest. Even though Dr. Brief looks like an older guy, how old could he possibly be? They'd both be pretty young in end of Z and GT to have died of old age. And I don't think Dragon Ball would have them die unnaturally or due to disease off screen. My guess? GT simply overlooked th...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

It wasn't for plot because the movie was a one-off. It didn't follow the continuity established in chapter 104 of the manga (chapter 2 of "Z") or the first episodes of Dragon Ball Z, as Goku was supposed to have the 4-star, 3-star, and 6-star balls. In the movie, Goku only had the 4-star b...
