Viz didn't use Kakarrotto, they used Kakarot. I don't know why, they were using the original for the most part, so I have no idea why they used it. Not to mention, that's how why got Vegrot.

It may have been a space saving measure. Easier to squeeze in more words per balloon with Kakarot than ...

There's some irony in describing "high school slice of life" as an overused genre when talking about a shonen series. Like rereboy , Gyt Kaliba , and Lord Beerus say, it's all in the execution. There are some really wonderful high school manga/anime out there.

I'm not sure I need to see a Dragon ...

I definitely did a while back. I can't get into Super. The movies are fun as light entertainment, but they're mostly forgettable. Overall, the newer content hasn't felt worth committing to. Sure, I like Beerus. He doesn't warrant hours and hours of my time.

I do like revisiting the original series ...

Wow, good topic!

Something that had never occurred to me before this thread:

Kuririn's decisions here are completely consistent with Goku and co's attitudes in the beginning of the arc. They objected to Bulma's suggestion of preemptively destroying the androids, the rationale being that the ...

From a storytelling perspective, Kuririn being the strongest makes sense. It plays against your expectations. It shows that when it comes to strength, looks can be deceiving. That's interesting. It's actually a recurring theme in Dragon Ball.

If it were Tenshinhan, how is that interesting from a ...

Roshi originated the kamehameha, didn't he? It's much harder to break new ground than to imitate an already perfected method.

The humans are standing on the turtle shelled backs of giants. They would not have made it as far without the foundation and guidance he – or even the Crane Hermit – set for ...

While Gohan loves Piccolo, I think he knows Piccolo isn't really parent material. Or if he doesn't know that, Videl would talk him out of it. Piccolo stays a beloved uncle.

Kurririn would be the logical choice for godfather. He has experience raising a daughter, and he's sane compared to the rest ...

You know, a bit hazy, but I remember having read about a Japanese folklore archetype which fit the first four — maybe even five — in your list. Empty headed, stubborn, very strong, and usually a peasant, if I remember correctly. Somebody here who actually knows about this kind of stuff could correct ...

I love the Freeza suggestion. That Freeza and the good guys would never in a million years team up unless forced to by Beerus would make for great character moments. More conflicts, more clashing personalities, the better. In my opinion, Dragon Ball has always been at its best when it "mismatched ...

"GAHH!!! WRONG WAY!!!!"

One of my favorite recurring speculations is how many bodies Ginyu had used up before becoming horned and purple, so it's always mildly disappointing to find official art treating that body as his original; even if this one's only for a video game guide. I'd love to see a back story, either from ...

That's probably one of my favorite Dragon Ball-related possessions, other than the series itself in its manga and anime forms. I can't tell you how often I've revisited the artwork in that book for inspiration or a recharge of creative giddiness. Toriyama's a master at imaginary machinery, motion ...

Wow. He's looking great for a guy who's pushing 60. As a matter of fact, he'd be looking pretty damn good for a guy pushing 50.

His Tori-Bot self-portrait, with its stooped posture and stereotypical old man clothes (at least in the US), was probably what gave me the wrong impression about his ...

When I say things and throw "most people" into the mix, I'm not just pulling things out of my ass. It's based off of all those years of internet surfing and real-life discussions.

Can you walk us through your clearly rigorous method of study, as well as the peer-reviewed statistics you've ...

Chi-chi is the only one tough enough to be Goku's wife. Her wild fish-out-of-water nature jibes well with Goku's own. I'm sure she sees some of the Ox King in him. Not to mention, as it's been established in the series, they share a unique, matching purity of heart.

Goku might have been fine with ...

The only people who deserve to be happy are the ones who actually contribute to society and help to improve the lives of others.

Why should someone like me, who does neither and plans on doing neither, have a chance at happiness? If you don't make something out of your life, you're worthless to ...

Anyone wanting to see absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking 90s animation needs to check out Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still .

Speaking of which, I've been considering changing my avatar from Thorkell the Tall to Alberto the Impact.

Trigun is another example of Rad animation haha

No ...
