Mosuko is "Cosmo" backwards in Japanese. Mo-su-ko. Ko-su-mo = Cosmo.

Dragon Ball Super's Biggest Star

Up to this point, Dragon Ball Super has more or less met or surpassed everyone's expectations in regards to giving the characters we grew up and fell in love with their moments to shine. From making Future Trunks OP to bringing back [spoiler]Ultimate Gohan,[/spoiler] fans across the globe have been ...

Re: Why I Don't Blame Goku For This Arc

It's not as big a deal as we're making it. Just another reference to GT like Vegito's de-fusion [was to Gogeta's] where the blame is put on Goku and he has to take responsibility. Specifically, with the Evil Dragons.

What Really Makes DBS Pop

Is that it's one giant meme. It's very close to leaning on the fourth wall. It's like the Toei interns all grew up on Dragon Ball Multiverse or a couple doujins and drew inspiration from them. Whereas DBGT was Toei forcing themselves on Toriyama's world, with their own interpretations and developmen...

Re: Something interesting about the Barry Kahn arc

The whole Barry Kahn story in these last 2 episodes felt to me like a rehashing of the Baby Saga (which itself was inspired by the Garlic Jr. Saga with the idea of inflicting humans to make them stronger), the Watagash forms of Barry Kahn goes in the same linear way as Baby-Vegeta went: 1) fully hu...

After all, Vegeta did lampshade this when Trunks figured SSJ Blue would be able to stop Black, understandably not wanting his son to slack on his fated duty...

Re: Why Does the Japanese Version of Dragon Ball Sound So Awkward?

Unless you take a few liberties, any language translated close to 1:1 will sound awkward in the second language. Take it with a grain of salt and understand that no two languages can have a word for word translation and sound totally fluid. The real benchmark for whether it sounds awkward or not is...

Why Does the Japanese Version of Dragon Ball Sound So Awkward?

This isn't in reference to the voices, so we can all leave our flame shields at home. I'm referring to the dialog itself. It sounds awkward or dated, kind of like how an American Saturday morning cartoon would sound, but an anime equivalent. For instance, look at some dialog taken from the recent sc...

Goku Black is Goku if he received and maximized the Mystic Power-up.

Caused everything in the arc to go wrong? Literally the entire Future Trunks arc is because he needlessly killed Freeza 3 hours before Freeza was destined to die in addition to meeting the others. And the kicker is that Trunks explicitly mentions this once he meets Goku. The reason for the Heart Vir...
