Kanzenshuu

Just found out that Viz's translation of Gokuu's pet-name for Android #8 at "8-Man" may've been inspired by the 1960s manga 8-Man , featuring a cyborg protagonist. So this makes it more acceptable, in my eyes, if it's at least a reference (regardless of whether or not it's for the sake of making a ...

Random thought:

Knowing the timeframe of this, and that "Super Saiyan 2" wasn't even necessarily a concrete thought yet in Toriyama's mind at the time, perhaps this could explain some of the confusion/debate over whether or not Gohan was Super Saiyan 2 versus Dabra? Maybe Toriyama wasn't being ...

"Beyond-the-Beyond Super Saiyan"? :?

You know, I wonder if, before Goku "officially" named it "Super Saiyan 2", it was just treated as regular Super Saiyan, along with the Grades. For example, after Gohan becomes SS2 against Kibito at the 25th TB, he says, "Now I'm Super Saiyan. What now? Should ...

More and more, I'm starting to think the sparks have nothing to do with SS2 and are just about power. Of course, it's also likely that Toriyama's art style changed over the years but I don't find that answer satisfactory to me. :P

Same here. Especially since, even in the actual original manga ...

Despite the fact that Gokuu is seen riding the Kinto'un after Gohan was born.

Ah, okay. Well, I'll just leave it there to see if a mod wants to delete it or whatever.

I'm not sure just how borderline some of these pictures are, but whatever. I guess it's not porn if no breasts or genitalia are shown.

Because I found it funny. I didn't make this, though.

Why does Captain Ginyuu have all those veins on his forehead, even when he's not stressed? Is it part of his mutation, perhaps related to his body-swapping ability? Or simply a stylistic pattern choice by Akira Toriyama?

The "vA^" icon below the "Advanced Search" option and above "Logout" in the top right corner.

Ah, right then. Thanks.

You know, at first, I was put off by this new layout, because I’m one of those people that doesn’t like change. But now, it looks really great and meshes well with the rest of the website. Well done, guys! :clap:

I just noticed we can choose between 3 different sizes for the forum; that's ...

I've recently gotten into Fullmetal Alchemist , and after having read up to Volume 9 of the manga, watched both anime, both films, most of the OVAs, and all of Brotherhood 's "4-Koma Theatre"...I decided to change my avatar to that of Envy, my favourite FMA character (or, at least, tied with ...

How would you feel if Toei , or even another animation studio, made another Dragon Ball anime that was loosely adapted from the manga similarly to the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime? In that, it followed the events of the first couple volumes and/or up until the latter half of the series, before ...

So we've got "Super-bitch", "Super-witch", "stomp-a-bitch", "stop-the-grinch", and some of my own: "stop-the-grinch" and "pop-a-bitch". Any of those, or something else, would work for humorous manglings of "Spopovich".

Honestly even if he's a child it was pretty fucking stupid of Dende not to revive Vegeta.

Would you really be so quick to revive a man who'd mercilessly massacred an entire village of your siblings and later threatened to kill you if you didn't help him in his wish for immortality, just because ...

Well, only Daizenshuu 1 got an English release from Viz, and that was because it was mainly an art book with minimal text, so...

For a serious answer, no. She could only use the basic foundations of the Kame-sen style of martial arts that Gyuumaou had passed down to her.

For a non-serious answer, she was the first person to master the Kaiouken before Gokuu (the technique was actually named after her, not Kaiou, since she is ...

I see how it is. Everything we thought about the Red Ribbon Army is a lie. The Red Ribbon Army wasn't evil at all. It was propaganda by the Capsule Corporation in order to get more of the vehicle market. Goku was paid by Bulma in secret to make Bulma and her family even richer. It's all a giant ...

I guess he just meant that time didn't have much meaning in the afterlife, since your body isn't susceptible to age, death, or even deadlines. There may be exceptions, but who knows? We didn't get to explore enough of the afterlife and its...what's the word, culture? *shrugs*...in the manga.

Fucking hell! No news, just speculation. Spunk this shit!
