Dragon Ball Encyclopedia recruitment

Hey, I'm GamingBuddha, and I'm an admin on the Dragon Ball Encyclopedia . I made this forum post for two reasons. The first, as the the title says, is to recruit people to help on the Dragon Ball Encyclopedia. I understand that there has been some animosity towards the wiki on this site, but I'm ...

Re: Daizenshuu EX DB wiki...again

On another note, are you guys more likely to contribute to the wiki now that it's not concentrated on the dub anymore?
Not really, the damage is already done. I don't know how much I can trust the admins or other users look in the original source over their personal taste.

Besides, there is too ...

Re: Why was DB online even made?

DBO's backstory is it's storyline, or at least the vast bulk of it at the moment. But it's not only the backstory parts, but the stuff with Mira and so forth, too, that I like. No, the backstory is not the storyline, it just explains what happened to make the current story come about. While we ...

Re: Why was DB online even made?

DBO's story line is 100x better than the majority of what GT did. As such, I'm one of the ones viewing DBO as the 'official' sequel to DB, and GT just being another movie. Only longer. Most of the stuff people like about DBO isn't its story though, it's the backstory. The huge Goku and Vegeta ...

Re: What if Vegeta was female?

I think we're looking at it from a storyline perspective. Since Vegeta being female can't affect the story that much, then the story would go similar. So if Trunks would exist, then Vegeta would've had to get pregnant by someone like Yamcha. That's where I disagree: I think the story wouldn't be ...

Re: What if Vegeta was female?

If Vegeta actually was a female and had the exact same personality, I don't think she would ever get pregnant. (S)he just doesn't seem like much of a parental figure to me, so I don't think she'd really put up with a baby for 9 months. I mean the only fatherly thing Vegeta ever did was attempt to ...

Because Kanzentai and Daizex don't have every single little fact there is. Well why can't they just work on adding all the little facts to Daizenshuu EX and Kanzentai? Two sites that ...

Re: Did Gohan lose the Super Saiyan form?

Sorry for the late reply guys. The topics gotten pretty off topic though. Here's my take on the whole Ultimate Form thing.

Even before GT, I never thought of it as another form. I always looked at it as if Old Kaioshin's powerup gave him well... just that, a powerup. It just seemed to me as if it ...

Re: Daizenshuu EX DB wiki...again

Part of me thinks it's a little ironic you're using the FUNimation title cards, despite switching to using Steve Simmons' Romanizations of the characters' names now. Perhaps just having both of them available would be a good idea. Actually, we haven't even discussed the title cards yet, they were ...

Re: Goku, Hell & GT

In that case, I'd appreciate it if you would be so kind as to explain how a movie character (Coola) managed to appear in GT without creating a plothole. Here's how I usually explain stuff like that. I take the whole thing as levels of canon: (1) the manga, (2) the anime, and (3) the movies. Since ...

Re: I don't care if they use the term 'ningen'...

Can't ningen also be translated as person? If so, wouldn't it be more accurate to refer to those other characters as people rather than humans?

Did Gohan lose the Super Saiyan form?

Could Gohan go Super Saiyan after Old Kaioshin's powerup? If he could, it doesn't make sense why he didn't use it against Super Boo, but it might just mean that he needs to train some more to get it back.
Even without becoming a Super Saiyan, he has power surpassing Gotenks. This quote also makes ...

Re: What if Funimation had adapted names into English?

I mean really? Gievegian sounds like something that would more fit with Scott Pilgrim then Dragon Ball (for the record: I am a fan of both :P), and implies more an eating philosophy then a race of super strong aliens bent on conquering the universe.
Yeah, probably not the best example right there ...

Re: What if Funimation had adapted names into English?

In the case of DBZ, it's not like he's named Vegeta because when you boil him he's soft or, oh, he's a vegetable? He must be braindead. The puns for the most part don't imply traits. I think in all honesty, you learn more about other cultures and deities and things with Dragonball localized as it ...

What if Funimation had adapted names into English?

Let's assume that when Funimation (or Viz) first started dubbing Dragon Ball, they had perfect translations of all the dialogue and knew every single one of the name puns for each character. What if they had adapted those names for an English speaking audience to understand.

For example, Saiya-jin ...
