Re: Is Karin a Neko Majin cat?

I'm not familiar with Neko Majin, but a lot of the cat characters look similar because I know Toriyama based them off of his own cat.

Re: Hyperbolic Time Chamber Errors

I have always believed that the room was SET UP for two people, not restricted to two people being in there. Nothing explicitly (to my recollection) states that only two people can be in at a time.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Battle of Gods Blu-ray. This was actually my first Dragon Ball related purchase in quite some time since I have all of the anime/manga volumes.

Re: Still worth getting into Sparking/Tenkaichi 3?

I say yes. It puts all of the PS3 and other next gen DBZ games to shame and has the best playable character roster of any DB game ever made.

Re: Which is worse? Final Bout or Ultimate Battle 22?

Ultimate Battle 22 was NOT a bad game. The characters have a ton of special moves to differentiate from one another, there are plenty of stages, plus hidden characters unlockable with a code. The gameplay is not as tight at the SNES games of a similar engine but gets the job done. American gaming ma...

Re: Why didn't Kaio use teleportation?

I think the line about him knowing how to use it is filler. But as far as, like, "why didn't he take Goku to the check-in station when the Saiyans came to Earth", I would say because Instant Transmission requires you to lock onto someone's energy signature, and he hasn't seen or talked to ...

Re: How much is a kaioken boost?

My guess would be if Kaio-Ken 2X doubles one's power, the normal 1X Kaio-Ken is probably a 50% power increase.

Re: Why is Toei reanimating Sailor Moon but not DBZ?

They aren't reanimating Sailor Moon. They're doing a new series that closer to the original manga. Sailor Moon is unlike Dragon Ball in that Sailor Moon's manga is totally different from the anime (character introductions, deaths of characters, events that happen, etc.) This is NOT simply a reanimat...

Re: Why were Gero and #19 walking around the city?

They have to absorb energy to live, and that little town there was ideal to do it. By walking, they wouldn't draw the attention to themselves that flying would.

Re: How strong is Mecha Freeza?

I would place Mecha Frieza's power at about the same as Frieza's 100% Max Power state on Namek, albeit without the limited energy time he had to use the form when on Namek. My theory is the mechanical parts give him that strength unlimitedly and he no longer has to worry about his energy running out.

Re: Are Episode of Bardock and Tarble OVA official parts of

Neither one of them is canon. If it was not in the original manga, or unless Akira Toriyama says so himself, it is not canon. Tarble is NOT a canon character because, in addition to never appearing in Toriyama's manga, he is never at any point mentioned by Vegeta over the course of the entire multi-...

Re: Were you satisfied by the English dub of Kai?

I did not care for a lot of the voice cast changes, and thought Piccolo and Vegeta sounded a little too close to one another. But overall, the script was far better, and I was much more satisfied with this than any former dubbed version of the show. Now if they would just redub all of the movies and...

Re: Inconsistencies created by filler

In the pendulum room episode, it looks like Planet Vegeta is war torn, but in the Bardock special, it's an advanced technological society. Granted, it could just be a different part of the planet, but I think the war torn part is a more accurate depiction of what Vegeta would be like. They don't ha...

Episode of Bardock. Totally ruined the character for me, and was very unfulfilling and short.

This is my theory with the Scouter Colors. Again, just a theory and nothing more. Green Scouters are used by low-ranking grunts, and people up to and including "left hand men." (Raditz, Dodoria, various lower class Saiyans) The Ginyu Force members use green, but this may be because they ar...

Re: Why did Dr. Gero use a human base?

Because Toriyama hadn't invented the "unlimited power" Androids yet. Originally he was only going to have 19 and 20 as the androids in the series, I believe his editor wanted him to make younger, more interesting characters.

Re: More FUNi Dragon Boxes: Will it ever happen?

I really hope so, this was the best treatment that Z has gotten on home video in America. I would love to see the original DB, GT, and the Movies get this same treatment in time, but FUNi seems to be more interested in reissuing Z for the umpteenth time than reissuing the other series.

Re: Why does Videl seem stronger in the movies?

Because Akira Toriyama did not make the movies. And therefore, liberties are taken. Remember in movie 2, Master Roshi puts up a good fight against those Bio Warriors, which Goku needed Kaio-Ken to do (even though Roshi's power is supposed to be a mere 139?) This is just another instance of that.
