How many times did Toriyama right Muten Roshi's name in English, be it this or Kame Sennin and the various ways he spelt them?

I didn't know they charge you to get autographs at conventions, that's crazy. I thought they did it for free as a way for them to promote their work and connect with their fans.


I don't think handing them for free is efficient as they need to get their time and travel costs back for staying ...

So I did some math.

Wave 1: $4,000 x 50 customers = $200,000

Wave 2: $5,000 x 50 customers = $250,000

So this thread exists? Let me share the bullshit I've witnessed on my side

So a Hobby store specializes in trading cards and authenticating celebrity autographs announced last month that Masako Nozawa was going to be their latest guest slated for May 14th, this is the same company that invited Ryu ...

I didn't know Jakks Pacific made Dragon Ball toys until I saw this video

Torishima still lives in his "Old Man Yells at Clouds" phase. :lol:

And the worst part is the crowd that already hating on the "modern stuff" would look at his word and take it as gospel.

Forget Hayao Miyazaki. Torishima should be the new face for the "Anime Was a Mistake" meme from now on.

Shenlong / Shenron is undoubtedly one of Dragon Ball's most iconic elements, but would you consider the Dragon of the balls a proper character with defined personality? Or just a thing the series uses to serve its purpose before it goes away until the next time they need it?

Up until Super / Battle ...

"What if Dragon Ball was never dubbed in English?"

Well, the simplest answer would be "Something else takes its place as America's popular anime". I mean wasn't Pokemon still fresh in people's minds or its popularity was getting dwindled by the time Dragon Ball entered the picture?

Now Dragon Ball ...

I doubt that there would be more of Goten and Trunks. Toriyama seemed wholly undisinterested in writing them and the other production committee members seemed disinterested in asking him to include more for them to do.



Pretty much. Toyo is like the first person in 30 years among all the ...

If i remember correctly, someone (Torishima?) had to "convince" Toriyama to age Goku into adult for 23rd Budokai.

It was the opposite, Toriyama was the one who had to convince him and the editorial department at Jump, as they didn't want to make such a drastic change to the main character. He ...

There was an interview conducted back in 2004 (I think) between Toriyama and Nakatsuro (I think), and Toriyama said that if he were to ever write new stories for Dragon Ball, he'd set them during the 10 year gap due to him believing that the characters were too old at the end of Z. The 2008 OVA ...

Going to make this simple:

In 2008, there was a brilliant idea of having a short side story taking place in the 10 years period between the defeat of Majin Boo and the Tenkaichi Budokai as seen in the Jump Special.

Fast forward to 2025, and it seems like we are still figuring out what else that ...

That makes sense. I notice they even censored 17’s gun pointed at the elderly man into his fist even though they kept Gero squeezing that one guy’s head off.


One thing I liked about the manga more is the gore.

In the anime the guy in the car who Android 20 choked didn't have his head ...

I love the idea that Son Goku can be shown as scared; more often than not, he is excited, and sometime the fear is what excites him, too; I think Raditz was the one of the few, if not only person, that had Goku absolutely scared shitless. Add on top the fact that Raditz being his brother probably ...

Japanese:
- Piccolo: "わくわく するだろ 孫悟空..."

- Piccolo: "Wakuwaku Surudaro Son Goku..."
- Goku: "E E... Wari i na... Kondo bakkari wa wakuwaku shine yo... Ossoro shiku te yo gatagata shite ra a...


Just out of curiosity (I'm ...

I noticed in the Viz translation when Freeza realizes Gohan is a Saiyan he said he killed all the Saiyans except Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz 30 years ago, even though it should be 20. Is this a Viz flub or was that in the original Japanese too?


Manga: 30 years.
Anime: 20 years.

Can you also provide the transcript in Polish?

I got this video by channel user The Anime Linguist recommended to me in my feed where he highlights Goku's "Wakuwaku" catchphrase and how it affected his confrontation with Raditz and compares the original Japanese version with FUNimation's dubs and the LATAM dub

That's great. Did you ask him to make his characteristic Freeza laugh?

I don't typically ask for lines, plus he already did it on the public stage.
