Re: What would've been the best way to do an "Evil Gokuu" arc?



I don't remember what the comic did, actually. My idea was based on the way that Goku is annoyingly written and the series always sidesteps how much what he does is shitty behavior, so I decided to simply go from there and finally have the series do something refreshing by breaking its own rules ...

Let's hope they don't forget a crucial element for the viewers to understand the situation: the explanation about the Pilaf gang being kids!

When you see reactions from people discovering the plot, there's no trouble if they go through the movie because the explanation is given. But it was not ...

I think the criticism of Goku from the Tournament of Power arc should have just been played fully sincerely and as the thesis statement of the arc. Goku is continuously a major danger to lives and this has now culminated in his actions threatening the lives of entire universes. The arc should ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions




I don't know if it's much of a consolation, but Toriyama did seem to pay attention to some changing societal norms as he got older. If we compare Pan's kindergarten teacher to commander Black from the Red Ribbon Army there's a significant difference in design philosophy on display.

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

If my schedule ever stops sucking, I plan on rewatching the Champa arc, actually. I haven't watched it since the original broadcast, so I'm curious to see how the scripts hold up, especially when watched a few episodes at a time. I honestly expect it to be better than the Enhanced Edition, assuming ...

Re: Dragon Ball references in other media

My Aventures With Superman Season 3's Jon Kent is a reference to Future Trunks. He uses a sword and comes from the future to save his dad's life.

Meanwhile, the series' depiction of Bizzaro appears to be based on the Dragonn Ball Super version of Broly.

They'll likely need to retranslate the series from scratch because the scripts are written from scratch. You need to know what those lines actually say before you just slap English text on the screen.

Re: How could Goten have been written better?

I'd probably make Goten have a greater interest in doing any-and-all martial arts away from his family. When he wants to train, he goes off on his own. When he wants to fight, he goes off to a tournament on some other planet. Goten should want to be free from comparisons to his family.

If you want ...

If Nagamine Tatsuya couldn't be given the resources to give his re-edit of the ONE PIECE Fish-Man Island arc some finesse, I doubt that Dragon Ball Super: Enhanced Edition will receive better care. That being said, any number of episodes would work for these arcs if the production crew was simply ...

Apparently, Tadayoshi Yamamuro will be the character designer for the Moro arc instead of Shintani, according to Geekdom. He mentioned that Shintani will be involved, but only on major episodes. As always, take this a huge grain of salt. Ajay probably would know more about this.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Toriyama created Tarble, so he should be fully available for him to use. Heck, Toriyama owns all of the characters, even the ones that he didn't create. Cabba was likely created to "kind of like Tarble, but fulfilling a different role" so that Vegeta can be a mentor to a younger character who is ...

A production committee will buy timeslots based on availability and what they want from their period of promoting a series actively. It should be noted that while Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer did have eight episodes for its last season, those were not entirely standard-length 24-ish minute ...

I was going to post this earlier, but I like the idea that her natural hair color is just black and she dyes it because she marches to the beat of her own drum or whatever.

Yeah, Ranma ½ definitely doesn't set out to be a queer story, but it does leave itself open to a LOT of different readings without twisting the text very much. As far as female shonen protagonists go, so long as we're not strictly sticking to battle shonen, I'd say Arale is way up there.
