Re: Beerus featured in US White House promo video



Calling people susceptible to propaganda 'retards' isn't the win that you think it is. There's a better way to go about this than using a term that conservative bigots would sooner use themselves to describe an autistic person.


Now hold the fort...I've never used such a term. There is a lot of ...

This video was made by and for...well...let's just say a certain word Gohan used in the Boo arc. Now, I rather not say this word in mixed company but it should be noted that curse words in Japanese don't necessarily have the same connotations. The word could be bluntly translated but it could also ...

Most of it is predicable aside from elementary school age girls who have Tenshinhan in their top 3. Nieces are the vanguard of the world. They will seek the path towards strength.

Re: "Dragon Ball New Project (AGE 1000)" Official Discussion Thread.

Based on the title I imagine they will be reviving more ideas from DBO. He provided quite a few designs and story input on the original game so without any well for new material this makes sense. I wish we knew the genre for this game...hoping it is a traditional JRPG myself.

And very weird to see ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol" (20??) Discussion Thread

I know fans of the V-Jump manga never cared about Toyotaro and always just touted Toriyama's involvement but it is strange to see this done officially. It is somewhat similar to the DBS Broly movie where there was no shoutout to Koyama for creating Broly and Paragus. Same thing with the Age 1000 ...

Re: Theory on the role of the Dragon Balls in Earth history



The video game Kakarot gives the background that Pilaf was the heir to the Meshikiya Kingdom. His father was a king who fled with his wealth after losing a war. This game did tout Toriyama's input on their side missions and such but they never really specified what he provided. But an ...

Re: If you had to add Z Broly to the main continuity DBS Broly is already a part of, how would you... ?

DBS Broly uses the same technique God did and splits the evil from his body thus creating Z Broli.

I think really the only way to do it, if this had to occur, is just to go full Heroes and have a villain like Fu summon Broli from across the xenoverse. Otherwise, it isn't bringing back Z Broli but ...

Re: Should Dragon Ball's canon be reset?

Daima already doesn't really acknowledge Super and even before that both DBS: SH and DBS: Broly don't really line up either version of Super whether it is the the TV show or the V-Jump manga. I imagine future stories may continue in this vague sense while not really acknowledging any hard ...

Because Heaven is nice and cheerful. The idea of a demon being in a wonderland is pain to them.

Re: What did you think of the final fights with Gomah?

A nice animation showcase without much substance. And that is completely by design. Gomah, similar to DBS Broly and Cell Max, has very few lines in the actual fight. Those two were berserk but Gomah they just outright stopped giving him lines at a certain point. It cuts to the chase -- the villain ...

DBFZ characters already have big hands so I wonder how different this Goku will look. I imagine this version of the character might get a few normals from GT since the form's appearance is relatively short in the new show and they could always just have the original as the color 2.

I don't like ...

Re: Theory on the role of the Dragon Balls in Earth history


Pilaf being “an emperor” is a dub only thing.

He is referred to as "Daiou-sama" or "Pilaf Daiou-sama" a few times by himself or his subordinates in the original. So emperor was just the dub's approximation of his title of great king.




So then where does Pilaf come from? He’s got spaceships ...

Re: Dragon Ball Project: Multi, a new MOBA from Gambarion

I have enjoyed this game so far but I do think it is damned by essentially being a mobile based game and live service gacha above all else rather than a full on MOBA game akin to LoL to DOTA.

The short match format leaves the game without much depth and while the initial balancing wasn't so off ...

Yeah, this is an exception to celebrate the anniversary of the mobile game. I assume they would save any potential extra characters for a second season. Assuming they don't just drop support for this game.

This is great to hear! Finally he can grow as an actual storyteller and artist, unburdened by the confines of the IP. Hopefully his true fans stick by him.

Re: Do you dislike the Dragon Team vs Moro goons part of the arc?

As a factoid, I like the idea of Yamcha fighting alongside everyone again. But there is no story to support any meaning behind this so all that is left is spectacle. Or at least, this could be left if Toyotaro actually depicted these fights -- we only see small windows in the form of some traced ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread



Xenoverse focuses too much on Saiyans, though. The other races need equivalent powerups. I don't know if they ever gave CaCs Orange or Beast forms, but those would be a way to power up Namekians and humans. Frieza's Black form could be added for Frieza race, but they seem to ignore manga-only ...

They were all having fun in heaven training with Paikuhan and the rest.

It would make sense for them to feel some urgency to act or help out (and really they would have the means to do so) but the story is that Trunks' world is doomed. It is also easy to imagine Goku would have received a body as ...
