Re: The Arabic version of DBS is putting extra clothes on female characters

The shows used to be edited for the U.S. (even the broadcast version of Kai gave us blue Popo). It shouldn't be surprising that other countries still edit DB to adhere to local standards.

Re: Will we ever see Hit again?

I certainly hope we see him again. As the former top dog of U6, hopefully seeing what Jiren, and the Saiyans of both U6 and U7 can do, motivates him to improve in his own unique ways.

Re: Is Cell Max Stronger Than Broly?

Black Frieza > Gohan Beast > Cell Max > UI Goku ~ UE Vegeta > Broly. Just my sense of things. At the end of his movie, Broly reached his limits, and ultimately couldn't keep up with Gogeta. Since then, Broly has certainly gotten stronger through training. But Goku and Vegeta have been in life-and-de...

Re: Are Gamma 1 and 2 reanimated corpses?

I think they are completely mechanical, like #16 before them.

Hedo using dead bodies is probably just easier / less problematic than abducting and experimenting on living people, the way Gero did to make #17 and #18.

Re: Is Jiren really still a big deal?

Jiren is still alive, and presumably still training. Of course Goku wonders about how strong he'll be when they meet again. Jiren is still a big deal for the anime watchers only. :lol: Which is the vast, vast majority of the fandom. You know, the audience that has to show up to justify the time and ...

IT WAS HIS PEE-PEE!!! OMG I laughed so f**king hard. And it's also a callback to Goku "checking" Bulma and others in the OG.

Re: If Freeza were a female would he still be a hit as a villain?

When I first discovered DBZ (Ocean dub in syndication), I thought he was female based on the voice and design (lots of pink, prominent lips, etc.). A lot of others here made the same assumption, so I don't think it would have changed much in the long run. P.S. Back in the day, my GF thought Frieza's...

Re: Question about hypothetical "tier-2" fusions

Pretty much everything, from character design, naming conventions, and power levels gets extremely convoluted if fused characters are allowed to fuse again. So I think both methods should be given the disclaimer in-universe, that fused characters cannot fuse further. Namekian fusion is different. It...

Re: Granolah's name

Coming up with your own translation before an official English version is known is fine. (Though I would personally go for strict transliteration myself.) I do not get continuing to use your own version of a name, after an official English one is established. This is not a fanfic site; you're report...

Widescreen. They are theatrically-released movies, not episodes of the show. And widescreen TVs are the standard now. Perfect. :)

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

I think I'm overall far more forgiving of the manga than most who care to post about it. I've had few problems with the Moro or Granolah arcs before now. - So, Goku's life has been blessed by a dragon? I hate this idea. Vegeta is the high-born one, a prince and an elite warrior, yet Goku surpassed h...

Re: Would Goku Go SSJ If Bulma Died instead of Krillin?

Goku is a great fighter and battle strategist, but in the heat of battle, I don't think he's thinking about what's happening behind the scenes, calculating who can be resurrected, how the DBs can be used later, etc. He's a very "in the moment" kind of guy. Bulma is his oldest friend, the o...

Re: Could other villains have been stopped with the Mafuba/Evil Containment Wave?

I like the idea that the Mafuba only works against mystical opponents. I think DBS should have stuck with that.

Let's be honest, Jiren or Broly would just power up and shatter the jar from within.

Re: What would you do if you were sent back to 2002 with all DB heroes footage from today?

What could you do with it? Legally? You couldn't make millions airing it on TV, or selling it to Toei or Funi. They would see it as nothing more than an elaborate forgery. And if it was ever verified that you were really from the future, you'd spend the rest of your miserable life in a government la...

Re: Do you like Uub?

I honestly don't get why people mark out when Super references him. He's at the very end of DBZ , and in DBGT he's fodder like every other non-Goku character. He's a minor side character with no outstanding traits or feats. If Super does something good with him in the future, then cool. But at this ...

Baby fits this description; Buu does not. His absorption is more like simple eating, except he takes...
