Re: Do you like Super?

No. While manga (at least until Moro) was pretty decent at times, anime was almost entirely unbearable to me and i would probably never watch ToP arc if it wasn't for polish dub, as i watched entire DBS again in TV to support franchise in our country. I mean it was the first time any arc in DB was s...

Re: Saddest Pieces of Music in Dragon Ball.

To not repeat what was mentioned already i will say this one is very sad, even though it's from FUNI dub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmXgPEkfUps Not sure how many times it was used. I know it played in scene where Gohan tells Chichi that Goku is dead after Cell Games and in retrospection of Old...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

This track from old PS1 DBZ game, literally called "Sign ~Omen~" would've actually worked for UI Sign/Omen and would be better than actual UI theme we got as it got that calm feeling fitting what UI was supposed to be to begin with

Re: Which dub had the most limited cast?

The Polish dub prior to making it a proper dub, its just a person reading the entire time. Yeah, although a voice-over, or how we call it "a lector", isn't considered a dub here. I mean we have three ways of watching stuff: -Sub -Dub -Lector Most movies get sub version for cinemas and lec...

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Probably as strong as Vegetto or Gogeta since Goku and Vegeta are equals. It depends. Gogeta and Vegetto always used a single transformation owned by both Goku and Vegeta. But if SSB and SS4 fused and somehow created a new transformation, a "SS4 Blue", they should become stronger i believ...

Re: Dragon Ball GT Storyline breakdown

As for Baby, I was always under the impression that people’s tendency to view the first 40 episodes as two distinct arcs was mainly because FUNimation did that whole “Lost Episode” gimmick back in the day. The thing is official japanese site says these are two separate arcs. Also FUNimation changed...

Re: Dragon Ball GT Storyline breakdown

Also i disagree with seeing Black Star and Baby arcs as a single story as well. It's like calling Saiyan arc as a part of Frieza arc. I legitimately find it difficult to see how anybody could see it as anything but one arc. Where does the Black Star Dragon Ball Arc end? What is its conclusion? How ...

Re: Dragon Ball GT Storyline breakdown

Super 17 arc is a bridge between previous arcs and next arc, something that has never been done again in series. What i mean is that Super 17 didn't lead to Shadow Dragons. It was actually opposite kinda. Super 17 arc happened not only as a result of Baby arc, but also Shadow Dragons arc even though...

Re: Which countries dubbed the openings and which left it undubbed

I can talk about Poland a bit. Since we didn't have any actual dub (except for Z movies 12&13) until DBS, we obviously never had polish versions of songs, BUT since DB and DBZ were aired with french dub and polish lector, we actually did have dubbed openings for these two...dubbed in french that...

Re: GT as a Series of Movies

Interesting concept, although it may not work so well with certain arcs: -Black Star - You would have to fast forward or skip almost everything before M2 just like FUNimation did. M2 should be main plot here, so everything else would have to be done in 30 minutes. Also since this arc ends with Baby ...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

The Evil Dragons concept might not make much sense in terms of the logistics regarding why these things are so powerful, but thematically speaking, they make for an appropriate final threat for the Dragon Team. It’s also easily the most inventive idea GT has. Power levels are bs. Nothing makes sens...

Re: What was the worst era of DB video games?

I'd say the worst era was the one there were no DB games being produced and that was after "DB Final Bout". It was released shortly before GT ended in Japan and since there was nothing new from DB they completely stopped making any DB games until first Budokai was released 5 years later.

Re: Power-ups That Count as Transformations In DB Terms

I'd like to think that transformation is something tied to specific race, while technique is something everyone could learn, like Kaioken. But Beast Gohan doesn't seem to be saiyan related yet it's considered a transformation. UI should've been a technique, but is used as a transformation which comp...

Re: The Makankosappo is a two-handed technique

This also bothered me recently as DB Kai started to air in Poland and i completely forgot that Piccolo used this technique with one arm only because he lost second one. Yet somehow one handed version became the main one. It's the same with Final Shine Attack which is always shown as one-handed techn...

-Videl - After her fight with Spopovich she became very minor character, even more in DBS and GT. Wish she appeared more as Great Saiyaman 2 in some filler episodes. GT made her wear that costume which was a nice touch, although it would be cool if she fought some of the weakest villains from hell. ...

Re: Your favourite Goku quote

Hard to pick one. One of my favorites though would be when Goku waits for Frieza to power-up to 100% and shouts to King Kai in anger that he's going to avenge Kuririn as he died twice and not even dragon balls could ever bring him back. Of course later it was revealed that Porunga can do it, but bac...

Re: Why did the Super designs revert to the Z designs so much?

Because these designs are well known and popular. Super plays very safe with its content and designs. The same goes with changing main characters. GT in comparison risked a lot of changes. Made Goku small, gave him different outfit, changed main cast to Pan and Trunks, made SSJ4 completely unique. A...

Re: Did Baby increase Vegeta's strength or did he just gave him extra abilities?

Baby stacked his own power on top of Vegeta. I always assumed Teen Baby was weak, but after he got his grown up body (which we see after he leaves Vegeta), he was around Kid Buu level. This is absolutely wrong since , from the moment he's presented to us, baby is said to be stronger than Rildo by d...
