Re: Herms' Guide Guide (Collection of Information Awesomeness)
In your pronoun guide you mention that Kid Trunks uses boku , but doesn't he use ore for the most of the series, he certainly seems to do so in video games and in Dragon Ball Super. Also correct me if I am wrong, but during his confrontation with Muten Roushi, doesn't Piccolo Sr. refer to himself as ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread
An okay episode. Animation was below average as always. Had some fun moments such as Goku once more trying to be polite, but botchering it badly i.e.

Re: Something About Goku Black *Huge Spoiler*
The pink colouring really doesn't mesh well with the black outfit. Would've preferred if his hair was still black, but him being enveloped in a black aura instead. Alternatively his hair could've turned white. I think the reason for the pink hair could possibly tie in with him tapping into SSGod's ...

As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with Viz' translation. As a side note it seems like Old Kaioshin mixes up polite speech (~masuyo) and plain speech (~da) giving him a rather quirky speech style.

I find myself actually liking his fifth form, but the sixth form is as nearly everyone have said quite the mess.That being said I can imagine that if he' s going to use the same energy bullet technique that his son used whilst in his 3rd form then the extra arms could double that potential.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
They really ought to have kept Cold in his fifth form, looks certainly better in my opinion. Both forms are marked by ludicrously ornate ostentation, but the sixth form is a tad too much and that's putting it mildly and this comes from someone who liked Demigra's final form. Sadly this also seems to ...

Re: Dragon Ball Project Fusion for Nintendo 3DS
I hope I finally get my Goku and Gohan potara fusion, Gokhan. :P
You won't get "Gokhan" no matter how much you want him, because the name can't be split that that in Japanese. "Gokûhan" could be a possibility though. =P
I know how Japanese works. Maybe Gohu could be an option. :P
