Up here in Canada, we kept the music and Ocean Group VAs for the whole series. Unfortunatly, they didn't really add any new songs past what they did for the first two seasons. As uch, the music kind of got a little annoying in the end. Er, not really. We got the Saban dub for the first 2 seasons, t...

It's slightly off-topic (but still sorta on-topic), but am I the only one who sits there and notices how all the "awesome" filters they use on the new opening theme (which mainly consists of "Shine" in After Effects and some red masks) does nothing but make the footage actually ...

That's the 'supposed offical powers' as made for the Daizenshuu's originally. Other translations have since come out with the lower PLs. Personally, I take the lower ones as the true ones and the originals as typos or just plain absurdity. Going from 90,000 to 3,000,000 is just way too much of a Ze...

Besides the fact that Goku didn't equal Tenshinhan or Piccolo Daimao, when he fought them. Actually, on the chart he does equal them. 180 for both Goku and Tenshinhan at the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, and 260 for both Goku and Daimao in their final battle. And I always found it hard to believe Goku on...

Re: Dr. Gero and Planet Namek

This may have already been discussed, but I'm lazy when it comes to searching for something. If I remember correctly, the following is how part of Goku's encounter with Gero went. Goku: One flaw, you know nothing about my battles on Namek. Gero: Irrelevant, we have all the data we need. As well as ...

Re: Do the people in Dragonball have memory problems?

1) 300 years is more than enough time for people to forget about Piccolo. He was just a demon who went around torching people and stuff. It was never said anywhere that he completely conquered Earth and explained who he was to everybody. For all we know, Mutaito succeeded in sealing him up during t...

Do the people in Dragonball have memory problems?

Something that's always bothered me, is how the people are Earth, the people Goku and Co. are constantly fighting to save, the people who time and time again the Z Senshi put their lives on the line for... Are complete nimrods. I mean, what's up? When Demon King Piccolo is released from the jar and ...

As far as I remember, Mr. Popo's origins were never really discussed. I just always assumed that he's been around since Earth had it's first Guardian. I mean, someone's gotta water the plants on the Lookout while the Kamis do their Godlike work. Such as standing on the side of the Lookout, starring ...

It sucks that they pretty much killed Piccolo character in the buu saga. It makes me angry that he gave up against Shin that would have been a great fight. Strength wise they would have been about even. Back on topic there is no way that piccolo's power level was above 10000. I think that it was th...

Piccolo didn't have a power level of 1,000,000 where as Freeza did; and Piccolo still served 'em. Piccolo was a better fighter than Freeza who had just raw power. I always liked that about Piccolo. It seemed in several instances through the series he was faced with opponents much stronger then him,...

Piccolo was there for a few days at most. He was less than 10,000 when he arrived. He is not shown doing anything while there. It's a plot hole A few days? This is from the dub, but I remember King Kai mentioning it took the Z Senshi only two weeks to cross Snake Way (which I suppose would make sen...

Yep that's a DBZ song. More specifically, it's one of the image songs on DBZ Hits Collection 16. And you can now get it also on DBZ Complete Song Collection Volume 4. It is indeed sung by Hironobu Kageyama who is the singer of the majority of the songs, though not the only one. There is also Shin'i...

Found what I think is a DB song, but lyrics aren't listed

When I was surfing the net earlier, I came across a song that was labelled a Japanese DBZ song called 'Fight Oh Fighting Road'. Naturally, I downloaded it and listened. It certainly sounds like a song from the series, and the singer is, as far as I can tell, Hironobu Kageyama (that's the guy who sin...

No kidding. I mean, no offense to Dende, but the only reason he got the job was because he could whip up some Dragonballs.

Otherwise, they might as well have made Mr. Satan Earth's Kami.

Exactly what does Kami do?

Serious question. What do the Kamis of Earth do all day? They're supposed to be 'Guardians' but you never really see them doing much guarding. Do they control the weather? Decide the lottery numbers? I mean really. Outside of making the Dragonballs, our two Earth Kamis never really seemed to do much...
