Re: Meaning of Goku's name?

孫悟空 (Son Goku/Sun Wukong) itself is a multilevelled pun: 孫 (Son/Sun) - Visually similar to 猻 (monkey) 悟空 (Gokuu/Wukong) - Aware of the Vacuity referring here to two basic tenants of Buddhism awareness and void . It's a fairly religious named bestowed to him by a Buddha in the story. It's not hard as...

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. おっおっ…どうぞ喜んで戦ってくださいです、ます ( Ah ah... Douzo yorokon de tatakatte kudasai desu, masu - Kindly with pleasure would you please fight me, please, sir!). Look...

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 r...

Re: The All-Purpose "Translation Request" Thread

へっへ~ ちがいますよ~~~だ
Heh ~ Chigaimasuyo ~~~ da
Heh~, you are wrong~~~!

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 know that it is highly improbable, but I'd love for it to be a sequel to Super Dragon Ball Z. Game deserves more recognition.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

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. I find m...

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...

Found it. Hoi's technique. EDIT: Since Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan with Kaio-Ken is now a thing, I hope to see it in GDM8 already. Can't stop thinking how it will look like in-game. Not to mention its name. The attack is called "Jakouha (邪光波, wicked light wave). I may be a late-arriver to th...

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. :...

Several points of interest on this topic: 1. Googling ' "Frost Demons" dragon ball 'with the time set to 2009 at the latest (since the name shows up in DBM in 2010) doesn't seem to show any credibly old site (some newer comments on older pictures on DA and recently edited pages on DB Wiki...

Yes, i would love to see a PS3 port of Super DBZ with online support. maybe some day. What would be an added boon would be seeing SDBZ played at tournaments such as EVO, the game certainly has the potential . A PS3/PS4 port of SDBZ could ideally attract attention/popularity enough for it to be play...
