That Gohan was supposed to be the main character, and Toriyama only changed his mind because of backlash from crazy Goku fanboys.
I've got to credit this site for telling me otherwise.

Re: Why so much dislike to the show making fun of X characte
The problem is the reasons behind them. Vegeta being humiliated is supposed to be funny because it's a contrast with how he normally acts. It's there to poke fun at how 'badass' Vegeta presents himself. Krillin being made fun of doesn't have a real reason behind it besides Toei deciding Krillin woul...

Awesome!!
Now, imagine if VIZ released them. With uncensored art.
That would be amazing.

Re: Cell saga, last arc where every character is well utiliz
I've always thought this. It's strange that more of the cast is utilised in Cell than on Namek, despite there being a larger cast to work with. There were only 4 people who went to Namek, and yet Bulma was almost completely useless.

Re: Should Dragon Ball Super have skipped the movie sagas?
Probably not Battle of Gods, because that introduced a lot of things that are going to be very important in the new material (Beerus, God transformations, the different universes, ect.) Resurrection 'F' is a little more iffy. The only things in that movie that you would need to keep in are SSB and I...

When they finally do Movie 8, everything is going to come full-circle. It's pretty crazy how close we actually are to WEN BROLI.

This was awesome! Thanks for making it!
It's also really good that we have a Yamamuro episode for reference. Obviously, his art is going to stick closest to the character designs.

Re: Why was Dragonball minus never animated into a special?
Even then, it's only one chapter long. They'd have to add a lot more detail to it, in which case they'd pretty much be making the Bardock special all over again. What would be the point? So we can see Gine in colour? Perhaps if they made a Jaco special, they would put a little bit of Minus in, at th...

Favourite Overlooked Moments?
What are your favourite overlooked moments in the series? It could be a scene, or even a single line. Something where you could write a mini-essay about what you liked about it and why, but you also feel like you're the only one who appreciates it. My example: Jaco telling Bulma in Resurrection 'F' ...

Re: Biggest exageration by fans?
This isn't such a big one, but some people seem to act like Dragon Ball has none of the issues that Z does. For example, people say how the humans are really important characters, when in reality, they're still pretty useless when it comes to the fighting sections. As soon as they stop being villain...

Re: What do you hope for the 5th member to be like (spoilers
A woman. Then we can work from there. That's what I was thinking. People have been making comparisons to YuYu Hakusho's tournament, and that one had a 'mystery fighter' who ended up being a woman. It may be a little cliche, but Dragon Ball has only ever really done it once before, with 18. I would ...

Re: Super's manga by Toyotarō
This tournament has made me realise how few fighters we actually have. I mean, there's always the humans, but they're so weak by comparison that you'd need to jump through a lot of hoops to justify their inclusion (like RoF did). If we're ignoring Gohan because they seem to want to retire him, the ...

Re: Would Dragon Ball work well as a book?
The first arc and Red Ribbon Army arc could work well as slightly retold novelizations. In terms of other parts of the story...I think what Toei did was probably the best idea. A novelization of some sort of side-story, which doesn't have to do with the main plot. The important thing is novels are m...

Re: What writing decision would make you swear off the serie
Turning Goku and Vegeta's rivalry into some Naruto/Sasuke thing where they've been fighting since the beginning of time and it's fate and destiny that they continue to fight.
Actually, any sort of ridiculous melodrama where it's revealed Goku is The Chosen One, or something.

Re: Opinions on Dragon Ball YouTubers ?
I've got to say, at first I didn't like anyone besides TeamFourStar and MistareFusion (although I found a whole other bunch of Dragonball Dissections inspired by Linkara's HOPR which I enjoyed. None of them have updated in the last few years). But I think there's been a rise of a new type of Dragon ...

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged
I just wanted to say, I love DragonBall Z Abridged and all the stuff Team Four Star has done. If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have even gotten into the series in the first place. And I'm really excited for both Ep 51 and DBcember. Keep up the great work!
