Re: Weird Old Dub Stuff


Chaotzu was referred to by the narrator as an emperor when he was brought back to life at the end of the Freeza arc. Presumably, the script writers for the dub had watched or at least heard of the Mystical Adventure movie, where the character was an emperor, and assumed it was part of the same ...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread


Android 18 vs Vegeta

Same Vegeta that fought her when they met, but he developed the final flash early, got pissed off, and used the final flash on her.


Cell tanked it knowing it wasn't powerful enough, and he can sense ki.
Vegeta made it powerful enough by narrowing the beam width, but Cell ...

Yeah it was after top with the super dbs on cooldown.
They incorporated broly which was set right after so presumably it's after that.

Re: Dragon Ball Official Worldwide Character Popularity Poll

This should have been ranked choice voting imo if they want to see who has the most mass appeal.

Bardock and vegito have no place here, this is based in the manga and bardock appears in one panel. Vegito is one like one fight and his entire personality and design are a composite of two others...

Re: "Dragon Ball Legends" Official Discussion Thread

Story spoilers: So weird how they didn't just kill off Paragus. Wonder why they won't have him power scale to Super Saiyan Broly. The sometimes use, perhaps unintentionally Manga scaling, have the U6 saiyans in SS2 be closer to the classic ss2s then god level.
But they have used Kaioken Goku. They ...

Re: Every threat in future Trunks' timeline


Beerus: presumably either never wakes up, or does not bother to Earth since only one Saiyan is left. Actually, now the future version does know who Trunks is, right?

Freeza: Sorbet should be still seeking out the Namekian dragon balls in space

Champa: Odd one. Presumably he either managed to ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions


It boggles my mind when I see people claim the Saiyan arc is part of the Freeza arc. It happens, even on here.


They flow together more neatly then other arcs, Vegeta works for Freeza and the throughline of Goku accepting his saiyan heritage, no time skip like before BOZ, Cell or Boo, Vegeta is ...

The additional footage of the playdia OVA Ptets

Is the new footage only in the second half? I watched the 93 one but can only find the space saga on the 94 one.
It's funny the second was marked as definitive “true” because story wise it's so much more obviously a game goku trading trash and stuff.

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Using spoiler text I guess.

So I repelled Fu and Golden Freeza, either Fu is suffering from Anhedonia like Goku but his behaviour is escalating OR the crystals/some other shit are corrupting him. Not sure where they are going with this. Trunks not getting one shot by Broly was actually a feat for ...

Re: Did PTETSS spoil Brolys survival?


Yamauchi directed the first two Broly films and Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, so it's possible that he might have nixed the idea of brigning him back for the latter during the planning stages.



Thanks Julie, that makes sense, I understand he also created Broly but it was Takao Koyama who was ...

In the non canon movie they give it to Tapion.
In the Super Anime Bulma takes a CD out of the other time machines wreckage and reprogram it to go to Trunks timeline.

In the manga we don't see it. In the Z era manga, Trunks actually put the capsule in his capsule case, he doesn't give it to Bulma so ...

What did Pilaf mean about the Time Machine.

Is he just saying the time machine is fixed, so can now time travel again without being locked into Trunks timeline at the locked in time differential and a fading connection.

Or is he ...

- Abo and Kado are alive. They likely killed Tarble and Gure without Vegeta helping, stayed evil, and stayed as the Commanders to the Frieza Force Remnants

- Roshi would die of old age in the submarine without the herb ...

What paradox?

There is none? That is to say going back in time and creating a sufficiently large paradox creates a new timelines.
