Sorry for the bump. Does anyone know what's different between the basic movie soundtrack for Bio-Broly and the "Drama Edition" soundtrack aside from the different packaging? Are all the tracks the same?


It's listed on the site here: https://www.kanzenshuu.com/music/miscellaneous/

But to answer ...

She only played Midori in Dr. Slump movie 6-9, so it was never a very major role for her.

RIP, that's a pretty early age to go.

It is, and they've taken some pretty big scissors to certain bits of dialogue. Sometimes so badly the rewritten line doesn't even make sense.

you might even want to go with a different translation for "martial arts" since it's not based on budō here, but I see "martial arts" as a regular enough translation of kakutō ... I dunno, maybe they're actually wrestlers, but it's not really that important.


A pretty simple way to think about it ...

Yeah, he definitely sounded worse, I did moreso meant his performance in the original Z anime. One of my concerns going into it has actually been the Japanese performances, but I think everyone sounds fine enough, and none of the main cast sounds particularly bad. And without a frame of reference ...

I'll use my own experience to answer: I tried to watch a certain episode of DBS, the other day, on a site that has every episode of the franchise, and it had been removed, most of the other episodes are still there, but a few sometimes aren't. That kills the experience of binge-watching it ...

Gotta go with Akimoto, that one really made me smile when I opened it.
Also props to Shinohara and Saeki for some really charming takes on the original covers.

Monarch of Worlds would be fine to keep it gender neutral.


王 isn't really necessarily male-coded which is why female Kaio can exist.

Clyde Mandelin has gone through this on his site and mentioned examples of Mao 魔王 and Shitenno 四天王 being female (or including female members in the case of ...

Looks like Ryota Suzuki has been announced to replace Toru Furuya as Yamcha in Dragon Ball Daima.


Oh, and minor correction here. He's not being replaced as Yamucha IN Dragonball Daima, he's being replaced as Yamucha in DRAGONBALL, AS OF Dragonball Daima episode 1.

It's a permanent franchise ...

Did they state why he was replaced?


No. This is very much an "if you know you know" issue for all parties involved. They have absolutely nothing to gain from shifting the focus from the show they're trying to promote to the actor they're trying to remove their association to with as little ...

Not sure if you're aware, but he's drawn Goku before, back for the 30th anniversary.

Yeah, I knew. It's always fun to see various artists draw characters in their own style like this.

Nice. I like his style.

Very interesting tidbit, thank you! I wonder why Toriyama decided to swap 17 in :think:


17 was a more relevant character to most readers at the time, and would otherwise not have appeared in that scene. It also cleared up any potential confusion about whether or not he had actually been revived ...

I know this is late but thanks. No wonder Toei had missed the pun on the name "Panzy".


The flower name is spelled パンジー, the character is パンジ. They're not missing the pun, they're just spelling it differently from the name of the flower because that's not what the name actually is.

Though they ...

That said, at least the editor of the guide(since I assume a lot of people worked on the guide without communicating), should have some common sense. Because what's undeniable, is that Toriyama says x50 was a poor interpretation of the story and they didn't care, to remove it or ask clarification ...

People are just reading too much into things. The original guidebook statement that Super Saiyan increases your power 50 times is just some simple math working off the various statements about relative strength made during the Freeza battle - Goku, using a twentyfold Kaioken, is able to fight ...

I don't recall, but does Freeza call them "saru" in Japanese in a derogatory way?

Yes, that's what I said.

Great Ape is not a Funi term, it originates from Japanese merch. It's "ape" instead of "monkey" because English is one of the few languages that has commonly used, separate names for the two. Non-English speakers don't really think of "apes" and "monkeys" as being different things


Could the ...

As far as the entire "jinzoningen/android" thing goes, I'll just quote some posts I wrote about that a couple years back. It's a biiiit more complicated than just "mistranslation" or "Toriyama used the wrong word":


Regarding the entire "what is a jinzoningen" thing, the various terms are kinda ...

The Swedish Sailor Moon dub also changed Zoisite to a girl, and the translator has said it was because he made a mistake, not because of any deliberate change. There's probably SOMETHING in that Toei-provided translated script for his debut episode that results in so many unrelated translators ...
