Replies: 21
Views: 2378

Vegeta actually comments on the fact that all the balls landed near each other, calling it luck, IIRC. Vegeta just wanted the balls to be away from Frieza. As long as he could prolong Frieza from getting his wish, the better, so rather than trying to worry about escaping with the balls for himself, ...

I never found any scene particularly too gruesome. Maybe that's just because I'm a desensitized freak. The only moment I really thought went too far was Videl being beaten to a bloody pulp at the tournament but it wasn't exactly the gore that made me cringe there. Oh I forgot about that scene, but ...

I hate to say it, but you might be waiting for a while. I'd like to keep up with Z as Kai comes out, so we have a nice comparison, but I don't know if it's going to be manageable, let alone practical. We'll just have to wait and see how things work out. I'm not expecting it to happen very quickly. ...

I don't think this explains Gure's race, but just explains that Toriyama likes reusing certain designs for characters. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt Toriyama thought about where Gure came from very much at all. If you asked him, he'd probably respond with something like "What? The aliens in Neko...

You guys are awesome. This is something I've wanted to see done properly for a very long time, and finally you guys did it. Thanks a bunch. Can't wait for you to finish Z.

Watching our characters overcome weakness makes us grow a lot closer to them. It makes the situation more dramatic and gives the characters more depth to their personality. With the help of his dad, Gohan found confidence and strength in himself that he didn't previous know was there, and if Toriyam...

When Goku is fighting Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga. Everyone is dead minus Krillin, Gohan, and Yajirobe, and once Vegeta goes Oozaru, and breaks Goku's legs. Goku's laying there on the ground in agony, and he blasts Vegeta in the eye. This line isn't intact in the dub (not sure about the Jap version), ...

Yeah I was quite pleased with the way they did it. Mr. Satan is used in every important scene, but H. Satan is used pretty much only by filler characters and the announcer, though the announcer doesn't even use it that much. I think they did it so that it wouldn't confuse anybody who only saw the du...

They use Mr. Satan most of the time in the Orange Bricks, though H. Satan is used by his fans, and by the announcer guy, usually when talking to his fans, as if H. Satan is his stage name or something. They usually only call him simply H-Dog in filler scenes, by characters that it seems they didn't ...

Actually, he's 11 years old, but he's still a pre-teen. It's kinda retarded how all the DBZ games call Cell Saga Gohan, Teen Gohan, and Buu Saga Gohan, Adult Gohan. Because you're an adult when you're 16, and you're a teenager when you're 11. Yeah.

I never said it was the most incredible thing ever invented, I just said it's what I enjoy the most about the show. Epic fighting is usually what I look for in action animes, and I often find myself comparing other animes to DB, and thinking "Man DBZ pulled this idea off so much better." S...

While there's very little actual explanation for any of this in DB itself, I just assume that you can fire a ki blast wherever you concentrate the energy to, hands, mouth, eyes, feet, etc, though the most practical way may be the hands, because it's much easier to aim where the blast goes. My guess ...

The epic battles have always been the main attracting point of the series for me.

However, a large portion of the people on this board are attracted t...

Yeah it's like AIDS in that sense. Goku got it and nobody knew what it was at the time, and it eventually killed him. They developed a cure after he died. (There's no cure for AIDS, but the not knowing wtf it is part is what I was getting at)
