Re: Is original Dragon Ball really that unpopular?

I distinctly remember way, way back in the day I had given One Piece more than 50 episodes to "get good". When it never did and I gave up on it, I was immediately told by One Piece fans on this very forum that I "hadn't seen anything yet" and that I need to make it to somewhere ...

Re: How did Grandpa Gohan survived Goku's Great Ape form for first time?

I think Grandpa Gohan survived because he was awake the first time, and died the second because he was asleep and it happened too fast so he was unable to defend himself.

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

You mentioning that makes me want to see how The CW handled the broken arm. I think ironically there wouldnt be much fuss, no blood, no problem.

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products

That's literally the exact same scene just with different characters, dude. It's a clear reference. Oh ok, I would have loved a visual refence to the Dragon Ball scene to know that. The post does NOT make this very clear AT ALL. 18 breaking Vegeta's arm is one of the most known scenes in the franch...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball

I noticed in other sites some people are quiting Dragon Ball. Basically they are leaving the forum and no longer interested Dragon Ball anymore. That's not surprising. Kanzenshuu only allows Discussion of Dragon Ball and thus if you dont like Dragon Ball this is not your place. But other sites do h...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball

This didnt need a whole thread to itself, and its not in the right section, user related stuff goes elsewhere.

I am dissapointed because this could have been a great general thread for discussing Losing Interest in Dragon Ball.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

It wouldn't be necessary, because, as stated unlike the Sailor Moon example Dragon Ball Z has a complete, uncut English dub. Even with its flaws it satisfies what the vast majority of fans want in an English dub, that much is clear because its so adamantly defended to this day. I don't like bumping...

It's probably the "18 breaks Vegeta's arm with a kick" moment that's being referred to. So female characters breaking other people's arms is a concept unique to Dragon Ball. That's literally the exact same scene just with different characters, dude. It's a clear reference. Oh ok, I would ...

I think a pic got lost here or we are now considering punching and kicking as concepts unique to Dragon Ball now. It's probably the "18 breaks Vegeta's arm with a kick" moment that's being referred to. So female characters breaking other people's arms is a concept unique to Dragon Ball.

Re: Would a complete DBZ English redub be necessary?

I think anyone who is hoping for this pipe dream should look to the Netflix dub of Evangelion. Its more faithful than the ADV dub in every way, but most people who want that will just watch it in Japanese and most fans who want it dubbed are content with the old ADV dub. There was literally no perc...

Considering Future 18 is still killed by Trunks with no hesitation, I’d say no. Please forgive me I am a bit dumb, but this "no" part what does it mean? It's not clear to me. The titular question of the therad is if the editor veto kept her alive but saying no, doesnt make sense for this ...

Re: Did the editor veto of 17 and 18 being the arc villains keep her alive

If I remember correctly, Toriyama's editor at the time didn't veto anything, it was one of his past editors that didn't like them as the main villians and poked fun at them, which inspired Toriyama to change things up and create Cell. Believe it or not, I knew that already, but not only I was not s...

Re: Did the editor veto of 17 and 18 being the arc villains keep her alive

I think it depends on when Toriyama decided 18 would be the Future Mrs.Krillin. After he decided 17 and 18 wouldn't be the big bad anymore? Before? Pilaf (if he counts), Piccolo (through reincarnation), and Vegeta all survived their stint as big bad so there's a precedent. We could of had a paralle...
