Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
Hold up, this is promising. The version of Gogeta shown in the trailer is subsequently labeled in the character list on the official site as "Gogeta (Super)." And of course the most obvious reason that would need to be the case is to distinguish him from "Gogeta (Z)" and/or "...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
lol mate, I know you're not a big fan of DBS like me, but what has made you feel this aversion towards the series? A straight decade of Super and its mediocrity being impossible to simply ignore because a certain vocal segment of the fanbase (not naming names, and like I said it's not very prevalen...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
Super can't even decide on a so-called "core continuity" for itself, much less sensibly serve as one for the entire franchise.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
With the next chapter being Daima, I'm more interested to see what we'll get from that series in the game. Honestly? Me too, way more so than any of this tiresome DBS slop. In fact, it'd be really freakin' cool if one of the next big character showcases was all three versions of Kid Goku — DB, GT, ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
It doesn't work that way, especially in Sparking. Seriously. Kanzenshuu is one of the last noteworthy refuges from the virulent "nothing but Super matters" nonsense that plagues so much of the western online fandom nowadays. And as sad and misguided as it already is to take that approach ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
The actual continuity (and best content, meaning the original main story and Super ) must be given priority and the weirdness that is the rest can wait for extra development, weeks, months and years after the initial release. This is the single most depressing and malignant sentence I've read on th...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
Honestly, at this point I kinda hope that all the characters from the actually interesting and under-appreciated parts of the franchise like GT, the movies, pre-Raditz DB, and so forth are all just paid DLC packs. Because at least that way I could presumably buy and use them immediately, and not hav...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
Oh look, yet another parade of obvious inclusions from Z and color-swap garbage from Super, with of course "worst series' most overrated villain" coming along for the ride too. Only showing Gogeta's DBS-colors outfit and not his classic ZM12 version isn't a good sign either. And of course,...

Hear, hear. That's pretty much the deal.
And I don't think we need an entire thread for whatever weird victim-complex shenanigans are going on here.

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?
When a dub of something is as bluntly, enthusiastically, and unabashedly unfaithful as the old English Z dub(s) is, to the point where it can't even get the main character's personality right and loves to insert extra non-sequitur nonsense dialogue all over the place, and is only a small step or two...

Re: Is Goku hitting his head a relevant detail for his character anymore?
As usual, the optimal solution is to simply ignore anything the franchise did or said after 2013. Half-baked attempts at retcons only matter if you force yourself to accept them.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
My position continues to be "not interested until they start revealing and showing off characters from parts of the franchise other than overdone Z and shit-fest Super."

Re: How did Grandpa Gohan survived Goku's Great Ape form for first time?
I always assumed Goku's first transformation happened when he was still just a baby, and so even as a Great Ape he was still relatively weak enough for Gohan the experienced martial artist to subdue at the time.

Neko Majin deserves better than to ever be intentionally tied to Super.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Yeah, basically. He's not drawn as Ultimate, and the production dates don't really line up.
But now I'm wondering if Gohan's ability to one-hit-asplode Freeza was inspired by the power he showed when he got impatient and powered up halfway through the ritual...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator
All I'm gonna say is that I sincerely hope Daima ends up being genuinely good, because after how most modern stuff like Minus and Super turned out, I'd very much like for Toriyama's last big contribution to the franchise to be a high note. In the meantime, I'm trying to focus on fondly remembering t...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Gohan in Movie 12 definitely wasn't his post-ritual Ultimate self. But Freeza in Movie 12 also definitely wasn't at 100% either.

Re: Freeza shouldn’t have been a transforming villain
I... partially agree, I guess? I think the story actually benefits from having Freeza able to freely transform for more power, with him being the primary setter of that particular trend (Zarbon being its herald) before it became overdone. But I do agree that having four separate forms was waaaay ove...
