Goku's pod was used as a base for his Namek space ship.

Re: Justin Chatwin apologizes for Dragonball Evolution

Dragon Ball Evolution is only talked about with anime fans or bad movie buffs. The movie flopped on its original release and was quickly forgotten by most movie goers. Even the 2010 Last Airbender movie is remember more from the casual audience than DBE. Do bad movie buffs even care about Dragon Ba...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Casting a white guy to play Son Gokuu is dumb as hell, and we shouldn't be treating Caucasian as some sort of default—especially for a film with an international audience. Why is casting Caucasian to play character with Asian name is considered dumb? Goku is an alien, even that setting wasn't estab...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I guess we then should demand that every American dub actor that plays an Asian character should be fired as well. That's animation white washing and just as bad. :twisted:

Of course, countries are only "good" whenever they conform to our Western believes. When you choose to visit a country you (hopefully) adapt a bit to it's culture. If you don't like the culture, don't visit it. It will safe you al lot of headaches. Back on topic, I'm curious to see how thi...

Wow, great way to derail your own thread by jumping to conclusions with you pointing to supposed sexism by a recently departed author. Classy.

Re: How was Raditz planning on taking Goku back, in a tiny spacepod that only fits one person?

In the animé, we see Goku's pod. It needed sone repairs perhaps but I'm sure Raditz could perform those. His father was a brilliant scientist.

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Another example is Broly. Plenty of disgruntled and nostalgic fans refuse to accept the New Broly. They will say nonsense like "DBZ Broly will always be the true/only Broly to me." The new Broly is a completely different character from the original Broly. It's perfectly fine to choose one...

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?

If a reboot happens we'll unfortunately miss the soundtrack.

That being said, you'd think they would have an advantage with a lot of models from SDBH that could be used as a base.

They could easily do a large part of the Baby saga and SSJ4 will help them sell it.
Fighting Baby in all his forms could be cool.

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Note that all character models have been replaced by next-gen models with more polygons, smoothing every curv. Super Saiyan 2 Gohan's picture below is nice to see how all (or at least most) curves have been smoothed with extra polygons all over to really avoid the angular effect (watch the ear, the...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

I don't think they'll go past EoZ, they don't want to "overwrite" GT I think. Plus, the characters are at their strongest now. To me, I think that going the yearly movie route for a few years would be a good idea. A new series isn't "needed", from a financial POV and a yearly mov...

I dunno if it's because of Toriyama's passing, but I think it's a pretty cool idea. I mean, I wish it was in Japan, but the fact that Saudi Arabia is i...

Re: Petition to mark March 8th as "International Dragon Ball Day"

Yeah it's weird how people get celebrated on the day they died. Same goes for Elvis, who gets celebrated in August, while he born in January. To me, it comes across as celebrating his death, instead of his life.

Re: Dragon Ball Theme Park

Why Saudi Arabia? Because this beautiful country has a lot of money and wants to become an entertainment capital. Yeah, but it's not very safe for people who are LGBTQ+, women, and other religions as SA can hostile towards them. True, in the grand scheme of things, companies don't care about that. ...
