in the DB-Z-GT trilogy, who are strongest women?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/06/OceanusShenron.Ep.51.png/revision/latest?cb=20240719072614
Due to her showing up late in GT, I feel Oceanus may be the strongest female in the original trilogy. Great interesting character with peak design as well.
Android 18 is probably ...

Re: Masako Nozawa's $3000 USD Autographs


I didn't know they charge you to get autographs at conventions, that's crazy. I thought they did it for free as a way for them to promote their work and connect with their fans.


It depends on the booking. In the old days, the convention gave the guest a fee to appear, which was used a long time ...

Re: How long after his passing the words "Toriyama wrote/designed/contributed" stop being belieable?

Even if they don't have anything new by him, he will always play a huge part in marketing by using things like "based on a story by Toriyama" (meaning dragon ball in itself) or "based on characters by Toriyama". He's a huge part of the brand and unless something turns out that make appear him to be ...

Re: Masako Nozawa's $3000 USD Autographs

Heck, I can't even think of any actor worldwide that charges those kinds of prices, perhaps with the exception of some charity auctions that usually get higher prices. That being said, this doesn't seem like a charity thing. Even huge stars like Chris Evans generally stay below the $500 dollar mark.

So I did some math.

https://speedycomics.ae/products/wave-1-autograph-by-masako-nozawa-voice-of-goku
Wave 1: $4,000 x 50 customers = $200,000

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?


Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 looks like it will take places 200+ years after EOZ, we can only hope that it turns out good. Majority of the main cast should be dead, except if they have a long life span or immortal.

I don't think Toriyama is at fault for DBS, majority of their bad decision was Toei ...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Toriyama should have quit after BoG. The stuff he created afterwards felt so hollow and derivative of Z/GT that it read more like a bad remix than new, original material. I don't know if he didn't care or had no inspiration anymore, but it definitely was a black mark on his career.

He specifically said even brilliant creators like Toriyama still need strong external push back and a critical editorial eye, something he feels was missing because the current staff tended to idolize Toriyama instead of challenging him.

Just got the Legendary edition on Switch 2 as it's heavily discounted (already had it on Xbox and PS4) and with boost mode, it's a very fun version to play on the go. Load times are heavily reduced on S2 compared to the S1 release. The PS5/XSX versions are probably "better" but playing this game ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I believe the reason Toriyama gave for setting it before EoZ is that it's the time where everyone was strongest/in their prime.
To me it feels it was set during that time as not to "overwrite" GT in a way. That being said, the way Super was written it contrasts with the GT events. Heck, it doesn't ...
