Re: Why does "my boy" Boo keep getting screwed?
Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit how I feel about this bait and switch, but I do feel a little physically ill over it. I've got a headache today and feel like I have a cold. It didn't happen till the news broke out and I had a day and night to think of it. Okay... that's a bit worrisome and here's some ...

Re: Idea on how they could keep the series going forever?
I've never seen Ultraman, but I have seen several seasons of Super Sentai and it has the benefit of a new cast and a new story every year. Yeah, just pointing out there are multiple ways to refresh any idea given the production has the freedom to do so. Sure, but DB is Goku's story. I have little i...

Re: Idea on how they could keep the series going forever?
I got the whole Godzilla as an analogy for the atom bomb, etc. but at the end of the day, it's about monsters smashing shit. I've seen the movies. It's really all there is to them. I'm not being cynical, I simply never cared about the human story. I wanted to get to the monster on monster violence....

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
Tien was a jerk though. People forget when he was first introduced, he and Chiaotzu were running a scam business where they would go from village to village, and a beast would tag along with them. The beast would terrorize the village. Tien and Chiaotzu would then go to the village's elder and they...

Re: Idea on how they could keep the series going forever?
It doesn't tell me anything. Pokémon isn't much of a story. The whole premise is to "catch them all." Since new species are created all the time, it can go on infinitely. The premise of the anime wasn't to capture them all (catch em' all is a dub slogan) nor is it a required aspect in the...

Re: Ever since Super's release, people are very quick to dismiss all criticisms about power level inconsistencies. Why?
OK but Pikachu beat Lt. Surge and here we are approximately eight hundred episodes later. Justify that. Pikachu outsped Raichu rather than trying to beat it with just raw strength, because Matis/Surge was a brute who evolved his Pikachu before it could learn any of the speed-boosting moves that it ...

That's very arguable, really.apex_pretador wrote:okay, it didn't get saved but he still got happy ending).
But all the more reason to use the Super Dragon Balls to wish his timeline back, I suppose. With time travel being forbidden by the gods, it'd be pretty hard to get him onto the team.

Honestly? Ruining Future Trunks' happy ending from the original series. And it already did that.

Re: Is our Kaioshin unusually weak and incompetent?
In terms of competency, considering he has a pretty good telekinetic ability, strong enough to hold down the likes of SSJ2 Gohan and Dabra (according to the Super manga) despite them being leagues ahead of them in power, but didn't really make use of it at all when it really counted during the Boo s...

Re: "Dragon Ball Fusions" Official Discussion Thread
The sword censorship is exactly what happens when people cherry-pick what forms of censorship to get upset by instead of saying no to it altogether. lol Can't wait until we get a localized Dragon Ball game where we see Trunks cutting Freeza in half with a stick.

Re: Why Bulma knew about the blue hair of Mirai Trunks?
The only way Future Trunks blue hair would be acceptable to me, would be if he stick around in the main time. Since kid Trunks should grow up one day, this would be the easiest way to distinguish both. Even in that case they could easily give Future Trunks longer hair like in the Cell games, make h...

Re: How Trunks and Gohan should interact
Trunks is confirmed to have achieved SSJ2 in the recent Super episode. Looks like SSJ1 with sparks, but if you know Japanese you'll realize it's confirmed in the dialogue.

Re: Why Bulma knew about the blue hair of Mirai Trunks?
It would bother me less if Present Trunks also had blue hair like he did in the anime concept art (or if they changed Bulma's hair to purple just like it was in the manga). Now we have Present Trunks and Future Trunks having different hair colors despite being the same human being. Gokuu Black and G...

Re: Trunks' Tragedic Story
What is so tragic about Trunks' backstory? He plays no active role in his own misery. He lives in an apocalyptic future where he is surrounded by death and then we have the death of Gohan. How is this even a question? That's not tragic. It sucks for him, but that doesn't fit actual 'tragedy'. Romeo...

Re: Yet another 'New' character based off Gokus design
I'm up for Goten getting a new hairstyle like he did in EoZ. It's like the way Gohan's resemblance to Goku was handled, he had the Gokuu face, but also had alternate traits that made his design his own ( and by that, I mean Yamucha's hairstyles lol ). Goten's problem was that he was intentionally ma...
