Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Salagir also said he considers First form Fireza to only be 53,000 so maybe 1st form isn't quite 1 million and Goku is using a kaio-ken higher than x10. I don't think he ever stated that. People just took things out of context or made them up completely (as usual...). What he said was that when he ...

Well, some sound effects in Star Wars are classics too, like the lightsaber sound effects and Vader's breathing.

But it wasn't censored on the uncut DVDs, whereas Bra's name was.

Just a nitpick here: it's actually not bad quality at all, it's just ridiculously off-colour.

Re: Full frame movies

The second French movie boxset (the first one was widescreen and used awful laserdisc masters) has a really nice remastered 4:3 transfer that's miles better than FUNimation's old singles. It only has DBZ movies 7 through 13 though (and the Trunks special, but that's 4:3 even on the Dragon Boxes, so ...

Re: Anime/Manga Subtle Changes

During the punching machine stuff in the Boo arc's tournament, where Mr Satan got 137 points and then all of the Dragon Team get much higher scores, in the manga Videl comments that in a previous year, Mr Satan had managed 139, which had been the record until now. The anime changes that to the 137 h...

Re: If Dragonball Z came back on TV would Bruce Faulconer Music come back?

Also, don't they have some agreement in place where they have to pay Faulconer royalties every time his score is played on TV? So they'd probably go with the Kikuchi score if only to get around that.

Re: What's so bad about 'Bulla?'

I feel I need to bring this up... FUNimation didn't invent the name Bulla. The Portuguese dub of GT, done way back in 1998, used Bulla (and in one instance even mispronounced it as Bulula). This leads me to suspect this name spelling came from a Toei provided English script and FUNi just didn't que...

Re: "Zenkai" - 全開 or 全快? (Also, questions on origins of the term in Western fandom)

What I assumed was that some VHS fansub left the word 'zenkai' untranslated in episode 84's title, possibly due to it being written in the roman alphabet in the ending theme (though it's written in kanji in the episode title), and people watching the show through that VHS fansub just assumed "O...

Re: "Zenkai" - 全開 or 全快? (Also, questions on origins of the term in Western fandom)

I always assumed people got the term from a certain episode title in the anime--the episode where Dende died.

There was one episode where they wrote Son-Goku... I think that might've been the same one that had "Frezzer", not sure.

Re: Dragon Ball Super in Portugal

Negro means black, not dark. Escuro is dark.

Would like to remind people here that the Men in Black movies, for instance, have always been "Homens de Negro" here, not "Homens de Preto".

Re: Questions on the "Zoom" on Blue / Green Bricks vs. Singles.

The Green bricks are not zoomed in at all. They use the same transfer as the Dragon Boxes, with the exact same colour issues. The biggest problem is that a filter was applied that makes the lines look a little blurry and odd. The blue bricks are slightly zoomed in and are based on an older transfer....

For the record, the episode 49 title is the first time the name "Goku Black" is EVER mentioned in Japanese. In dialogue, the first mention of "Goku Black" is when Trunks tells his story to the people in the past. Before that, he was called "dark warrior" in episode 47's...

Re: Dragon Ball Super in Portugal

They pronounced Pot-au-feu wrong, at least in the preview that aired with episode 43. It's supposed to be French, so it should sound like "pot-ó-fâ" instead of reading it out as if it was Portuguese.

Re: Best Version of 16:9 DBZ Kai.

French BDs have French credits, and also occasionally a hardsub here and there (signs). No idea about German anything.
