Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread


Incredibly baffling episode and series overall. This felt like a watered down Heroes episode, where things just happen and transformations are gifted randomly for the sake of selling merchandise. There is no story being told here.


I was going to go off in this thread but I think this puts it ...

Re: Ian Corlett on why he quit playing Goku


If you can't talk after screaming you're screaming wrong. Jesus, these guys aren't going to be able to speak by the time they have grandchildren.

These are very different screams from the screaming you'd do in metal music, so the "safe screaming" techniques are mostly, as mentioned before, "not ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 16 - Official Discussion Thread

This is also kind of a minor nitpick, but if the idea was for Gowasu to get the demon eye and become big and buff...I probably would not have designed him with that red and black color scheme that Jiren and company use. Underwhelming transformation, and I would've been fine if he hadn't transformed ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 16 - Official Discussion Thread

I was a very strong proponent of believing in ~the vision~ for this show as a fun adventure in a new setting, even though I was skeptical of reusing the "turn Goku into a child" plot element from GT. I figured that the reason for doing so was to sell the concept of Goku (and friends) having to ...

Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

I absolutely think so, but it isn't anything new as many others have pointed out. It feels a bit goofy but this is where the franchise has been for most of its existence. I would love a reliance on actual techniques and strategy rather than transforming and over-powering the opponent. The DBS manga ...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

Funny enough, we've already gotten a lot of that with Piccolo; his ace-aero personality has already informed several reactions and lines from him over the course of the series, and we see it Dende's reaction to Bulma. Inadvertently, he's already ace-aero and a symbol of representation within ...

Re: Toei should promoto Piccolo more as a LGBTQQIP2SAA character

I don't really post here too much, but I don't like promoting a character as something they're not or at least not intentionally written as. I think in this context, it's better to use new characters rather than "rebranding" a character to fit an identity. If I can be even a bit more honest, at ...

Did Drummond traveled to Texas to record the lines for Copy Vegeta, or he just made it in some additional studio in Canada since he lives there?

Re: "(Super) Dragon Ball Heroes" Official Discussion Thread

It's kind of weird that SSJ4 Gohan is based around an outfit he never wore in GT. I mean even his clothes he was wearing in the Buu arc before he shifted over to the Turtle Gi weren't the same clothes he wore during the Cell Games, so...what's happening there? It makes it feel off, somehow.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

Wow, you guys did an excellent job! The writing is just getting better and better. One thing I love about what you guys are doing is adding bits like 16's backstory in there. A lot of people in the fandom don't know about those more obscure bits of information so it's cool to see it brought into the ...

Re: If you were to re-develop these characters...

I've been waiting for this topic!

So Launch/Lunch (we'll just go with Lunch for now) is one of my favorite characters. But often times, when she's brought up, there's always the group that says "well she is just a gag character", and they wouldn't be wrong. However, late into Dragon Ball she was ...

Re: How did they get most of the original Japanese VA to reprise their roles in Kai/Super?

Like mentioned earlier in this thread, with the frequency of the games coming out, the original cast has pretty much been working on Dragon Ball non-stop for the past several years. Also, on the other hand, and bearing in mind that I don't know if this is true, but it really seems like Japanese ...

Re: If you could replace Gohan from Battle of Gods and Resurrection F...

If I had to replace him, #18 would be my vote, especially in Resurrection F, but like Kaboom said, I think him fighting Freeza in base for a bit would be rad.
