Re: Crossover that should happen

I've always wanted to see Cross Epoch Dragon Ball x Dragon Quest.

For those not familiar, Oda and Toriyama collaborated on a one-shot manga, in which characters and elements from both the Dragon Ball world and One Piece world were combined together in a unique, alternate universe, in which the ...

Re: Would you like Dragon Ball to get an AI dub?

It would be interesting to hear AI use the original Japanese voices, but in English. I wonder what that would sound like.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I'm surprised it's getting released on Switch 1 at all, it's an 8 year old tablet that wasn't even considered very powerful when it was released. Switch 2 on the other hand should have no problems running it well, if they optimize it properly.

Re: Voice actors that you want to be replaced

I know this will be a very hot take among dub fans, but I would like to see the original English voice actor for Goku from the Ocean Dub return. That was the first English version I heard of Goku, and I still think it's the best one. (Not better than Masako Nozawa's Goku, but the best English Goku.)

Re: Series character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru says a Dragon Ball remake is possible



If they do it, they need to make it film quality animation, and get a really good studio to work on it.. Otherwise I don't see the point. We already have the original and Kai, we don't need a low quality remake.

Let's be real, it will still be Toei, why would they give a license to an ip as ...

Re: Daima to Super Connection

Daima could be tied to Super, Toyo just needs to think of a reason that Goku hasn't used SS4 since then. Maybe it uses so much energy that he usually can only maintain it for a few seconds, making it almost useless, but he was able to use it in Daima because of the energy boost that Neva gave him ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread


We have 3 different timelines now or better 5. Straight up bullshit. Hell not even the multiverse of Marvel is such a Trainwreck.

There's a 3 year time gap between Daima and Super, so they could write a story or two set there to connect them. Once Super reaches the end of Z, there's a 5 year ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread

Since Goku learned to use SS4 before Daima, I'm guessing he didn't have enough energy as a child to transform on his own, and that's what Neva helped with.

I don't see any way to tie this into Super, though, it kind of feels like Toriyama just retconned everything. Although we did get a nod to ...

Re: Will Vegeta get SSJ4

Maybe SS4 Goku still struggles a bit against Gomah, so Neva gives Vegeta an upgrade too. I could see that happening, and maybe even a fusion at the end.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 19 - Official Discussion Thread

The new form either has some limitation on it, or Toriyama has just deleted Dragon Ball Super, which I think is highly unlikely. I'm guessing Goku can only use this form in the demon realm for now, but will learn to use it outside the demon realm at some point in the future of Dragon Ball Super.

I do think he'll get a new form. The opening and ending themes feature these:

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

If I had to guess, I'd say Neva did to Goku what Guru did to Krillin on Namek, but on a much greater scale, unlocking his true full power, but it was temporary and we won't see it again.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread

I really liked Daima in the beginning, but it feels like they have run out of ideas and are just reusing things. Gomah looks like a demon clown version of Jiren, and this new form is just SS4 remixed. I wonder if Toriyama didn't get to finish writing Daima and someone else took over, because this ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

So is this like a retcon / reboot?

The animation looks fantastic, I'd love to see the entire manga reanimated in this style. I also like the new lore, it makes "demon king" Piccolo and his demon clan finally make sense, and now we know where Popo came from.
