Re: Did Dragon Ball inspire you to workout and/or learn martial arts?
Dragon Ball Z was certainly a factor in why I began martial arts, but the other and probably larger motivating factor was Street Fighter if I’m being perfectly honest.

Re: Bootleg topic! Real vs fake
I got bootlegs if Super volumes 1-4. I had slacked at collecting them and when I decided to start none of the stores in my area sold them anymore and they were marked way up online. So I turned to eBay and found a lot of them for $70. I had a feeling it was too good to be true. When I got them I at ...

Re: Spirit Bomb Wrestling Move
Cool. It’s a combo of the Last Ride and Bautista Bomb. I love that he calls it the Spirit Bomb. Hope he comes to AEW.

Re: If it had been F Gohan that gone to the past, who would Goku have taken into ROSAT?
I think Goku would’ve taken Gohan. Gohan needed someone to teach him how to become a Super Saiyan and they needed all the Super Saiyans they could get.
Alternatively, I think Piccolo would’ve invited Future Gohan to join him.

I don’t think she did. In fact, I don’t think her Legendary form was even as big as the anime.

Re: is dragon ball technically a spin off of dr slump?
I wouldn’t call Dragon Ball a spin-off of Dr. Slump anymore than I’d say Batman is a spin-off of Superman. They’re their own distinct independent stories that take place in the same world and occasionally meet up with each other.

Re: Who is the most evil character in Dragonball?
I’d say either Cell or Bibidi.
Cell wanted to achieve perfection and when he did his only goal was to use his power to destroy for his own delight.
Otherwise I’d say Bibidi. He created/summoned Majin Buu to destroy the gods of the universe and throw reality into chaos for the lulz.

Re: All-purpose Dragon Ball sale/trade thread.
That’s cool. No worries. I can get the Kai DVDs really cheap if I go with the season sets but I just really want the Yamamoto score that I’m used to.

Re: Things you wish Toriyama never said (about characters or story)
I hate his explanations for Kaioshins because he gave two completely different accounts. Please correct me if I’m wrong. 1. Kaioshins are part of the core people race who are born from the Life Tree. Regular fruit bears core people who will become Kaios, and Kaioshins core people are born from the e...

Re: Samsung ends Blu-ray player production, impact on DB media?
I also wouldn't be shocked if DVD ended up outliving Blu-ray in the long run, they're so cheap to produce and still so convenient for a large swath of consumers. I think you’re right about this. I’ve heard that DVD has outsold Blu-ray every year since Blu-ray cane out with the reason being that DVD...

Re: Is it okay for Goku to be an divorcee?
Considering how crazy enraged he got when he heard about how Goku Black killed the Chi Chi (and Goten) of his Timeline, I feel like Goku does love Chi Chi and cherish her in his own way, even if it’s not always on the surface.

Vegeta’s love for his father and pride in the Saiyans
Just out of morbid curiosity, I was wondering if this has been addressed anywhere. So old information always said Vegeta supposedly really loved his dad and he does always talk of his immense pride in the Saiyans. He’s fully on the side of good now and has had access to the Dragon Balls for years......

Super Saiyan Blue Evolution vs Broly
I’m sorry if this has already been discussed but I didn’t see any threads on this. If there are any, please point me in the right direction. Does Vegeta’s Super Saiyan Blue Evolution work in the same way as Goku’s Ultra Instinct? Can he not do it anymore? I admit I haven’t seen the film yet, but I’v...

Re: Would you like to see Goku age and become old eventually?
I’d really like to see Goku as an old man like in that sketch Toriyama drew years ago. Like Goku, due to his Saiyan biology, has seemingly outlived his friends and even immediate family and takes on a new student or two. Maybe even his descendant(s) who don’t even know who he is.

Re: Your Personal Canon
I give up anymore and just go with the Toriyama approved story. It all goes in wildly different directions now and while I appreciate Xenoverse trying to make it all make sense with time breakers making new timelines, I’d just rather it be simple. So that leaves; Jaco the Galactic Patrolman Dr. Slum...

Re: Things that grind your gears
The only thing that grinds my gears as of late is Super being praised as if it's the best thing ever for all the same reasons GT is hated as if it's the worst thing ever.

Since Broly isn’t Toriyama’s character but he rebooted him anyway, do you think Super Saiyan 4 is popular enough to warrant a reboot? Would you even want them to? How do you think Toriyama would do it? [spoiler]I, for one, would love to see Super Saiyan 4 return. It’s always been my favorite Super S...

There’s an interview in the translation section. He doesn’t outright say he hates the anime and such. Not at all. More along the lines of Toyotarō gets it right the 1st time.
