Are you a knowledgeable Dragon Ball fan? Then enter my Dragon Ball Trivia Battle livestream event! I'm hosting an event for the global Dragon Ball and anime-loving community so we can get together during the holidays and have fun with our favorite series. You can play free by watching my social medi...

Thanks for the corrections and additional info. I need this type of accuracy from fans like yourself who grew up experiencing it.

Thank you for sharing that GT clip. It's interesting to watch the different dub adaptations.

I appreciate everyone's support with filling in missing info. There's so much out there I didn't grow up with.

Thank you to everyone who has provided updates. I need to hire someone to reorganize this info for me because I don't have the time to do so myself with my current book projects. I'd like to reformat the history for each country into an easy-to-understand and chronological order, and then combine al...

Thanks for sharing my article here. I enjoy seeing a lively conversation about something I wrote, even when it's 5 years old. I have no problem with Kunzait's argument about Wuxia inspiring Dragon Ball, nor with anything he's said in this thread. I'm impressed by his breadth of knowledge and ability...

Great. I intend to create a Video section on my site soon, and I'll make a HG Dub page for the remasters and the originals, with the proper credit and a link to the pdf.

Yes, I really enjoyed watching it. The voice acting is top-notch, especially with the odd censorship and script changes adding a charm to it. And it's a pleasure to watch it without any visual or audio artifacts. You guys did such a good job. A tremendous effort! Is it okay for me to host these vide...

Yes, I wrote an article about the History of the Harmony Gold Dub. It reveals where the Harmony Gold dub came from, who was involved in its production, and how hard myself and a few other anime fans here at Kanz worked to recover the episodes. Took over a decade of effort!

That's something to think about. I suppose hair could get in the way during battle, or be pulled on, or matted down with blood after a fight. But then Raditz and Super Saiyan 3 come to mind. Perhaps Raditz was an outlier, and of course, Super Saiyan in general is an anomaly thought ot be legend, as ...

Thanks, macho_man! Yes, the hardcover edition will be coming soon. I will begin the translation of Dragon Ball Culture Volume 1 after I've made my money back on the production of "It's Over 9,000!" This may take a few months. Ideally, it will be out in time for next November and December s...

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I edited those sections and updated the article. First, about the fan theory that 'hair stops growing after a certain point.' Second, to remove the word canonical and mention Nappa's hair in the flashback in Broly . I don't know if anybody aside from Toriyama a...

‘Nappa isn’t bald,’ says Akira Toriyama! Read my exclusive translation of an article that talks about the origin of Saiyan hairstyles: https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/dragon-world/akira-toriyama-says-nappa-isnt-bald/ Toriyama also talks about how Saiyan hair grows, and on gender equality in Saiy...

Congrats on completing this project. You sure put a lot of work into it!

I'm eager to watch them again.

https://thedaoofdragonball.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/its-over-9000-italian-680x1020-1.png Hey, everyone. I'm writing to share the news about a non-fiction Dragon Ball Z book I wrote that has been translated into Italian. It's called Dragon Ball Z "It's Over 9,000!" Visioni del mondo ...

I do know a bit about the Arabic dub from what fans and voice actors have told me. For example, I spoke with Sean Schemmel about it within the last year. He said Dragon Ball Z is huge in the Middle East, and they invited him to a convention there to be a celebrity guest. He was amazed by how many fa...

I translated a new interview with Akira Toriyama's editor, Kazuhiko Torishima, and published it on my site: https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/interviews/akira-toriyama-editor-says-there-is-nothing-to-learn-from-dragon-ball/ He says, “There is nothing to learn from Dragon Ball,” and, “Dragon Ball i...

Thanks for the reminder. I knew I had seen it somewhere, but wasn't clear on where, and I didn't have the time this weekend to search for it again.

Once it's online, I can update this post or create a new one.

I've translated Akira Toriyama's lost interview in Germany, from his trip to the Leipzig Book Fair in 2004.

What do you think about the new info?

Thank you for your understanding and advice. I'll consider what you suggested.

I do sympathize with victims and have empathy for their suffering. I don't condone what Gerard did. It's outrageous and abhorrent. He has an illness. It's a false equivalency and emotional plea to argue that Gerard's crimes are the same as my willingness to speak with Gerard about his work on Dragon...
