Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

Incredibly sad news and extremely infuriating. I owe him a thanks for all the fun and good times.
With this it's like Dragon Ball itself is dead too and I find it hard to have enthusiasism for new content without him to supervise.

Re: Gotenks(Post-Rosat)>>Goku and Vegeta

The translation goes like this: "The two entered the Room of Spirit and Time, and hurriedly trained as Gotenks. As a result, Gotenks leveled up so much that his strength surpassed Vegeta and the others." Pretty sure Goku is not name-dropped in that text, though this is not to say Gotenks ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Like the original series, the Super anime was an adaptation of the manga Do you have a source on that? Because the Anime began on July 5th of 2018 and the Manga on August of the same year. 2015 And the manga had its first chapter 20th of June 2015, before the anime's first episode. https://www.kanz...

That was when Raditz appeared and he was telling him to get off the planet. Goku wasn't pointing the thumb at himself like Vegeta and 17 did.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

"Galaxy on the brink!! The super incredible guy"
Or "Bojack Unbound" to fans of the Funi dub was released 30 years ago this day on the 10th of july.
I suppose it was decent for what it was and the cool new locations and tournament set up were cool.

Re: How are they able to overpower powerful blast if they hit it from the side?

It's just simple physics, the blasts are incredibly powerful yes, but that power is only moving forward, so hitting it from the side, where there's no force (aside from the blast's energy) acting in that direction, will be far more impactful than trying to stop it/derail it from the front.

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Buu was utterly confident that a Vegeta and Goku merger wouldn't be enough to beat him, but as soon as the merger actually happened, he was shocked.
I just take that as Base Vegetto at minimum being on par with Buu and call it a day🤷🏾‍♂️

Re: How Retcons Destroyed Trunks' Sword

Yeah never heard of that before, but funny how it's plausible, if Toriyama thought that far ahead. I always just thought the sword was to look cool. The absorption ability of #19 and #20 I imagine was the thing that changed due to the retcon. Toriyama needed a way for them to be threats without nece...

Re: Goten and Trunks Are Evolved Saiyans

Yes, this must be the case. They are the sons of Saiyans who at that point had achieved Super Saiyan or was close to it(Vegeta) and had evolved past the need for Ozaru. Thus they are born without tails and instead have an easier time going Super Saiyan. Evidentally Saiyan genetics are super adaptabl...

SS4 Goku did it vs Baby, Gohan has done it as well, I think vs Super Buu.
Ah well I barely watched GT, so that figures and I can't recall much from Gohan vs Super Buu, except the really memorable stuff.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I've seen a couple of times Goku and Gohan getting on a horse, after easily deflecting a ki blast, and saying this is how ki is actually used, and do an air-blast thing, kinda like a Force push... only, to later on, not use ki as they just had said it's supposed to be used, and do regular ki blasts...

No. That theory has been around for a long time, before he changed his tune. 10 years at least!

Re: Dragon Ball GT Would’ve Been Rated A Masterpiece If It Used The Plot Of The Metarex Saga From Sonic X

If you want a discussion, you can't just make a thread revolving around the obscure plot points of a specific series of another entire franchise and then not explain what the actual plot points are, as if everybody just knows the details of every other franchise.

Come on now, bro.

Re: One Punch Man creator turns Oolong into a hottie for his new work

Has nothing to do with Oolong. In the original tale it's a humanoid pig, which is why that is the case in Dragon Ball and this work. Only give credit, where credit's due. Also Murata is not the creator of One Punch Man. He's the artist for the mass produced consumer friendly version of One's origina...

Re: How do Freeza Force soldiers learn to fly?

It just comes natural to them.
Because of the empire's narrow understanding of ki anything more than natural talent wasn't really delved into and so how the earthlings would eventually utilize ki was a rarity in the universe.
