Even without the alien aspect, I always thought the human characters were based on Asians - Yamcha, Krilin, Tenshinhan, Chi-Chi etc.
Bulma seems to be the one exception. I'd guess she's white.
if you want to include India (South Asia) then I'd defintely say Namu and Uub are based on Indians.

I like all the Broli films tbh. Also I think Kid Gohan was pretty realisitc.
Happy New Year!

Surprised some people don't consider Vegeta a big bad. He was way more entertaining than Freeza and Cell.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/11/20!)
Wasn't the Kienzen blocked in the anime at one point? Could have sworn it was. Yeah, twice. First, when Krillin tries it against Cell after he goes Perfect and it just...shatters against his neck like nothing. Then ironically, it happens to Cell later on against Gohan, where he fires two and Gohan ...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/11/20!)
Regarding the Kienzen, it's funny how people associate it with Krillin when he's the least successful user of it.
Vegeta: Cuts of Gohan's tail with it.
Freeza: Defeats the Big Bad of the Namek arc with it.
Eighteen: Defeats Mighty Mask with it.
Goku: Saves Gohan with it.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/4/20!)
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Yakon is Goku's only victory after Namek. Loses to Android 19, Cell and Cell Jr in the Cell Saga. Then suckered punched by Vegeta and then a no content with both Fat and Kid Buu. As for games Goku would enjoy. I'd assume he'd enjoy fast faced arcade-style games,...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 11/9/20!)
Yeah I went back and reread that part and I see what you and Random mean. Don't really like the concept but if Toriyama says it.... :roll: Kinda wonder how the fandom would react if Toriyama said something that blatently contradict a major storyline event, like Piccolo beating Goku in the 23rd Budok...

Maybe Baibidi is Bibidi's clone/son in a similar way to Ma Junior and Daimao?

Re: If another US Live Action Movie was made, would you want a remake, or a reboot?
I've seen What We Do in the Shadows? and The Hunter for Wildernerss and think Taika Waitit could do humour parts really well. Likewise Dragon Ball action done in Baahubali style could be fun too.

If another film does get made I hope Edgar Wright adapts it. He did an amazing job directing Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Re: If another US Live Action Movie was made, would you want a remake, or a reboot?
Kind of surprised they were able to get popular JPOP star Ayumi Hamasaki to make a song for it. I was surprised they bothered. Not saying she isn't talented, quite the opposite, but she always struck me as stylistically mismatched for a Dragon Ball movie, and I felt the same was true of her song fo...

Those are some fair assassments. Every film is different but making double your budget is usually considered the minmum qualifcation as sucesss. That said might be differnt for a film that made most of its gross overseas. I was definitely the only one in the thatre when I saw it. Kind of surprised t...

It wasn't changes to the original plot and characterization that killed Evolution, it was poor writing and directing. Goku and Chichi being high school lovers wasn't the problem. Had the production not been rushed and the people involved stepped up their efforts, Evolution could have been successfu...

I wish you would’ve covered Spopovich’s death, but it looks like that’s for next time. That was a moment that really weirded me out when I watched it as a kid. I always thought Spopvich and Dabura could have been the same character. Would have helped build up Gohana fight with him more, instead of ...

Honestly I've never met anyone outide of the internet who dislikes GT. So I guess I would say it's popularity hasn't changed at all from my perception.

Yeah, and you could say I've never forgiven him for encouraging such things. Me neither. It's very disappointing and it showcases a lack of regard for any standard of quality when making the series smh. That statement should have been a red flag for Toriyama's mentality when it comes to telling sto...
