Re: Theories of how Cell got stronger...

Remember, one of the main reasons Cell held the Cell Games was to draw out his strength and potential. Even Cell didn't realize the depths of his own strength until his battles with Goku and Gohan. It's possible that Trunks surpassed Cell in raw power, at that time , but during the Cell Games, he ...

Re: What have the American/UK Dubs... DONE RIGHT?

Two lines of dialogue:

Goku: "Hey Vegeta, look! People-popcorn!"
Vegeta: *sigh* "What is he on?"

Absolutely priceless. Gotta give the dub props for that classic exchange.

That was good for a laugh. :lol:

Talk about your overreactions, though. That guy was outright making shit up and yet he criticizes Daizex's integrity? Classic.

Re: How do you think Cooler came to resent Fr­ieza so much

I didn't see it as hatred. More like professional jealousy (until Coola surpassed Freeza with his extra transformation) and Coola simply being critical of Freeza for allowing Goku to escape Planet Vegeta's destruction. All of Coola's hatred was reserved for Goku and the Saiyajin as a whole for ...

Re: Toriyama and Dragon Ball Evolution

Note to TripleRach and rereboy: The film in question was the OVA titled Samurai X: Reflections, and yes, Watsuki-sensei derided it because of its downer ending.

On topic: Considering that Toriyama intended to end the series at the conclusion of pretty much every story arc since the Pilaf arc, I ...

Re: DBZU and DBZU2 seems to be officially gone now.

Chris Psaros really had a way of making me bust up whenever I read his reviews. Might seem over-the-top today, but considering what he was dealing with back then, his frustration was understandable. It's a shame the archive's down, I had a lot of fun reading through his stuff way back when.

As Rocketman stated, most fans in the US were introduced to the franchise via Dragonball Z. They're used to dealing with Saiyajin, Freeza, scouters and battle powers, Son Gohan, Cell, Buu, ect. We didn't get a complete domestic release of Dragonball until after Z had been running over-and-over again ...

I think Orihime from Bleach would be able to ride the Kinto'un. She's innocent to the point of utter stupidity.

Technically speaking, Bojack's power is about 50x more maximum than Broly's and Buu's would be over 100x.

Though I guess it just seems like Broly's power is maximum because he's a steroid-popping Super Saiyajin that hurls planet-destroying globs of ki and screams a lot, and was fortunate enough to ...

Then Bulma and Vegeta's is stronger. She married a serial killer and stayed married with him after he had killed hundreds of women at the Tenkaichi Budokai.

"Serial Killer" doesn't even begin to describe what Vegeta is. More like genocidal mass-murderer who killed more people than Hitler, Stalin ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after Anorexic Buu turns Fat Buu into chocolate, eats him, then becomes Super Buu and takes off toward the Lookout at warp speed, doesn't Piccolo say that Buu got a whole lot stronger?

If there ever was a real life world martial arts tournament, I figure it would be something akin to the large underground fighting tournament that took up a major story arc in Grappler Baki. There were no ring-outs in that competition, and the characters tended to borderline on superhuman, but it ...

On the other hand, the dub had that monotonous synthesized crap playing in the background, and it completely ruined the entire scene for me.

Not to mention Gohan blabbering in his own head over the whole thing.

Considering banana-head was popular enough to get two sequels, I'm surprised there wasn't a fourth film with him going SSJ3.

By that point, SSJ3 Gotenks would probably be able to handle him and Ultimate Gohan or Vegetto would turn him into cigarette ash.

And if by some chance banana-head ever went ...
