Re: Is Viz gonna complete the Dragon Ball Z full color manga?
If and hopefully it does happen, how are they gonna label them? As they started FC Z off by calling it DB Volume 1. Don't they label them by arc? You know, "Saiyan Arc Volume 3" followed by "Namek Arc Volume 1"? *checks shelf* You are correct, nevermind! I really do wish they'd ...

Re: How would you have done transformations differently in Super?
If I did it, Goku and Vegeta would not have absorbed the god power into their base forms. They would need to tap into SSG in order to use god ki and fight on that level. Blue would've served as SSBKKx10 in that it would be something they're able to tap into for brief periods of time but it damages ...

Re: Is Viz gonna complete the Dragon Ball Z full color manga?
I'm holding on, not until it's complete, but until I know it's going to be complete. I really love this release with it's larger size, but don't want to get stuck with an incomplete set of volumes from the middle of a story.

How would you have done transformations differently in Super?
A lot of people, myself included, think that Super introduced too many transformations that weren't always necessary or properly utilised from a storytelling point of view, and often smell like blatant merchandising. Retrospectively, how would you have done this differently and how would it have aff...

Isn't it "Over 9000" in the original Japanese in Kai? And weirdly switched back to 8000 in the Funi dub?8000 Saiyan wrote: Since the Ocean dub of Kai is supposed to be accurate, Drummond will likely say 8000 instead of 9000.

Re: Was God Ki Really Necessary?
When it was first introduced it made perfect sense. It was a huge deal, something that put a warrior on such a different level to non-god ki users they were untouchable. That gulf was like nothing we'd ever seen in the history of Dragon Ball. If you were to insist on talking numbers, SSG and SSB wer...

Re: In my opinion, after the Namek arc, DBZ was a let down
Everything from the beginning of DB to the end of the Namek arc is brilliant and feels like a natural progression story-wise. Putting problematic filler in the anime aside, that is. I do feel it goes downhill from there, although conceptually the Trunks-Cyborgs-Cell-Multiverse storyline is fantastic...

Re: Should Raditz Be Goku's Brother?
I think you're right that it's a result of Toriyama's writing style. It would make sense for him to be someone so significant if he was being built up as the big bad of the arc, which is probably how Toriyama saw him when writing his introduction - just "the next villain", not a precursor ...

If Toei hadn't requested the Future Trunks arc?
What do you think would have happened if Toei hadn't asked Toriyama to write a story about Future Trunks, like we hear they did? Do you think we would have gone straight into the Universe Survival arc, or got a different version of the Black/Zamasu arc without Future Trunks in it? What might that ha...

Re: Would you watch a "slice of life" Dragon Ball series?
This type of content is great for embellishing the "main plot" because it makes the characters more real, and by extension makes the show not just a bunch of events that happen but the story of the extraordinary lives of this group of friends. Super has showed how DB/Z could have handled d...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/18/17!)
It's an interesting situation with Cold. If he's going to be included, I would have liked to know more about who he is - is he a shadow figure who rules the universe through his son, did Freeza make him the king of something but is still on top? It probably would have been better if Freeza alone had...

Re: Do you feel that filler hurts or helps the story as a whole?
Filler helps when it adds something new. Extra adventures, slice of life episodes and so on, with some notable exceptions like the Namek stuff, really do help flesh out the story and the world. This benefit is more than cancelled out by the type of filler that sees fights drag on and on and on, with...

How would you feel if Goku's outfit had varied more?
Goku's orange and blue outfit is completely iconic. I can't imagine say the Freeza saga without it, even though he had no reason to be wearing a Turtle-style uniform at any point in Z. I wouldn't have minded though there'd been more variety and casual clothing when he wasn't preparing to go into a b...

Re: DB's ending
BoG would have made a great ending in my opinion. Goku can't defeat this new opponent even with his ridiculous new power up, and finds out there are many people out there stronger than him. After all, that's always been one of the central themes of Dragon Ball. Maybe cap it off with him meeting his ...

Re: Akira Toriyama named in Paradise Papers leak
I really dislike this sort of thing, the well-off actively trying to avoid contributing to their society. Toriyama has never exactly claimed to be a moral character, though, so I can't say I'm surprised. No more surprised than if I saw "Akira Toriyama questioned over upskirt video incident".
