Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Dragon Ball Super has me thinking that whomever was editor to Toriyama during the run of the original series deserves a lot more credit than they receive, but beyond that I think we're simply seeing a case of a guy "losing his fastball" with age.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I went to the subbed showing last night and was the only person in the theater. In any case I really enjoyed the movie. I also loved that during the Goku/Vegeta sparring session we got to see Goku break out the

He attached himself to a pre built robot, and used bluetooth probably.

He was probably using a buffalo dongle from an old Nintendo DS.

Re: Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4/Switch/Xbox One/Steam)

I think it's going to do well given it's obviously made on a budget. Cannot believe they aren't doing crossplay with this. Player count is so important for this type of game and that's a dealbreaker for me.

Re: In hindsight, what are your opinions on Infinite Zamasu (manga and anime versions)?

One thing I especially like about both of these endings is the potential they have for some cool videogame stuff down the road. I'd love to see a future Dragon Ball game do a "What If" scenario involving a Vegeta who has his forced spirit fission technique being plopped into this fight. T...

Re: Why don’t we have a full colored version of Vegeta’s new form yet???!

I've seen a few different coloring attempts of the transformation now and I like all of them. Maybe we will see this thing on a volume cover at some point to give us a definitive answer.

Re: Who is Goku's most important mentor?

Master Roshi is the one who taught him how to train, work hard, and never stop improving. Not to mention pretty much all his martial arts techniques. I can imagine Goku beating all his other villains eventually without the other mentors. It would take time, but he could do it. But i can't imagine h...

Re: Is Goku an Underdog?

Watching/reading the series through the first time I was not often impressed with the idea of Goku as an underdog. Certainly some instances of it though, but not all that frequently.

I actually like this arc a lot, but it's still probably my second least favorite part of original Dragon Ball.

Re: Almost no recaps in original anime run

Not a fan of clip shows, but I'd like that more than some of the lesser Z-fillers we had. I enjoyed most of the fillers in original DB and didn't mind them as much in the back part of Z either. Some of that stuff in the front half though- like fake Namek, was kind of brutal. The moment to moment fil...

I haven't seen a good real or fake spoiler controversy since the days of part 2 Naruto. This is a fun distraction at least.

Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

Well considering this isn't one of those type of shows that's a moot point, lets keep it to DB. Trauma isn't something the show touches upon so that's a non-factor.. There is a cost to nearly everything, even if only opportunity cost. What are you think has no cost and how does that apply to the DB...

Um, can I ask why? There being a cost to magic is a trope for good reason. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Unpopular opinion, people take WAY too much of an issue with Goku being put in his childhood body. Also while nostalgia might be part of the reason they turned him back, they've gone on...

Re: Toriyama’s Story on the Goku Black Arc

it's worth to remember that the manga was made after the anime: no doubt a number of Toyotoaro's decisions in what to portray in his limited amount of pages was influenced by what the anime did already show. Black vs Vegeta was a necessity, while Black vs Goku was not and was already covered by the...

You know, the more I think about it - Ribrianne is basically Nermal if Garfield happened in a universe that was more violent.

Re: Worst character design?

I think the amount of screen time Ribrianne got while basically just talking about love is what made me hate her so intensely. The Ginyu's had quite a bit of silliness to them, but were well-performing functional villains most of the time they were on screen. Ribrianne's dialogue writer just went ou...
