Re: Masako Nozawa's $3000 USD Autographs

Rowlings books are racist, homophobic and transphobic as hell lol

Ignore Jord, he's a piece of shit for the hell of it. Trying to launder Rowling is just one more part of that.

Re: How long after his passing the words "Toriyama wrote/designed/contributed" stop being belieable?

Me, an enlightened gay nerd: good art is good, no matter who worked on it [and is not a morally reprehensible human being].

Anyway, my guess is that Iyoku will stretch whatever he can label as having Toriyama's influence on it as possible until he needs to find some other way to market a project in ...

Re: Other Toriyama-related games

I like the protagonist's design because I, too, am perpetually burned out to the point of suicide and have the death stare of a retail worker who wants to tell my manager to shove a rusted buzz saw up their ass.

The total restart of production and the fact that Toriyama is not credited directed as ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

What is a righteous Saiyan? A Saiyan incapable of being more than all good?

The thing about saying that the Saiyans are somehow all good or all bad means that you're just limiting the types of stories that you can tell. I ultimately don't think it matters if a few 'good' Saiyans existed at some ...

Re: Is anyone else not a fan of the SS3 Vegeta design?

Fandom needs to move away from how it thinks about transformations and think about story and character. I don't necessarily think every transformation needs to be an event, but tying it into a character arc gives the form meaning. Toriyama intentionally refusing to actively give meaning to his work ...

Every day, I think about that one fan art—I think it was by fenyo?—of Piccolo confronting and having a stand-off Vegeta right after Vegeta kills Artificial Human #19—and presumably #20—and I think about a world where Vegeta got actual pushback for his bullshit.

The Artificial Humans arc would be so ...

Re: Is anyone else not a fan of the SS3 Vegeta design?

Gokuu and Gotenks have unique Super Saiyan 3 hair styles, too, so I like how there's that bit of consistency by making Vegeta's noticeably different. I'm curious Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi had to remind Toriyama of this or if Toriyama remembered on his own and designed Vegeta from there?

But yeah, the ...

Re: Would removing Neva's macguffin Super Saiyan 4 fix Daima for you?

We live in a largely sexist world. Sexism has not disappeared with time, it has simply gotten better at hiding itself, which includes fandom spaces. Acting like a woman is being unreasonable—or should I say the more commonly lobbied 'irrational'—by calling that shit out with the barest minimum of ...

Torishima's successor, Kondou Yuu (Saiyan arc through before the appearance of Perfect Cell) wasn't really lenient, but Fukuda (Cell Games through the end) was. The three editors talk about working with Toriyama in the first Daizenshuu .

Back int he 80s and 90s, he was just another writer, he wasn't "Toriyama Sensei", so editors and the anime's producers weren't under nay pressure to blindly follow him, which resulted in them either requesting changes to be made to the story (his editors) or changing it/expanding it themselves ...

It's going to be interesting to see if Shida Naotoshi works on Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol much. He's been a big mainstay on Digimon Beatbreak and One Piece for the last few years, so I'm curious if he's working to only work on Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol as much as he did ...

Re: Summary of Kazuhiko Torishima's Book

Iyoku Akio being the number one on Dragon Ball does not provide much in the way of confidence unless he can be successfully handled by whoever the director is to allow for proper artistic expression.

Otherwise, it's hust going to be more rigid, sauceless shit like Super Hero and Daima.

I like that Pan doesn't really get along and is kind of shitty in Dragon Ball GT. The problem is that her character really isn't developed all too well and she winds up not getting a ton of growth. The version of Pan from the end of the Dragon Ball comic is so barely defined and just exists to be ...
