Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
Modern DB anything? I haven't read Dragon Ball Minus or watched Episode of Bardock , so I can't say about those. Going by the summaries, I refuse to waste my time on that stuff. Vegeta suddenly having a long lost brother, Tarble, in that 2008 Special was very weak, imo. And I still haven't been able...

Re: What was your first experience with the Japanese version and what was your first impression?
"CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA" That Opening song still throws me back. Timeline looked kinda like this: '98-ish - DBZ Movie #1 Dead Zone DVD that I played on a PC. I remember that being my first experience with the JPN audio. Afterwards, two online video clips stand out to me -- first was the scene...

Re: Who do you think is the worst character in Dragon Ball?
Anime adaptation (JPN): I tend not to think about worst anything in DB, because I'm more about enjoying and appreciating the overall amazing work that has been created. But, I'll play along and throw anything to do with Fusion out there. I have very low tolerance for that stuff. :lol: So, Gotenks it...

Re: Super Episode 112 (22 October 2017)
Solid episode. Up until the initial "Berserker" Kale episode (before the ToP), I had been completely indifferent to Cabba. That's where it started to turn for me in recognizing some value in his character. This episode pushed me a bit more in that direction too -- I'm liking this kid. The ...

Re: If Dr Gero had access to Beerus' cells, how strong would Cell have turned out?
I don't think much about the power system in this series, but I just wanted to point out that there may be a connection with an original JPN episode title: Dragon Ball Z #160 "Battle Power Infinity!! Birth of the God of Destruction Named Cell" That's... a lot of Powaa!! Yes, that is the ac...

Re: Super Episode 111 (15 October 2017)
Freeza saying to Goku that he's now cleared all personal debts when he lent Goku his genki was kinda funny. What about all of the stuff before that? :P Eh. I didn't like that Hit went out within one episode. I know that he was up against that freak , Jiren, but I was thinking that the fight could po...

Re: Random subtitle question, Vegeta calls Kakarot "Goku"?
Just checked. That is an odd error. I vaguely remember seeing some incorrect subtitles, and this was one of them. Not subtitle related, but a few episodes before that one, there's an odd naming choice in an original JPN episode title: Dragon Ball Z #124: "I Will Overcome Goku!! The King of the ...

Re: Introducing Somebody New To Dragon Ball
Looking at the original air dates(JPN), the Bardock TV Special aired the week before DBZ #64 (the Vegeta VS ReaCoome ep.) after there had been a two week break. The Trunks TV Special aired the week after DBZ #175 (everyone first gathering at the Cell Games) before the main story resumed the followin...

Re: Things different in the manga
I began collecting and reading the manga sometime back around 1999-2000, but I stopped purchasing at some point - I think that I got up to the Goku VS Vegeta fight(?). It's been so long, that I barely have the vaguest memory of it. And that was only starting at the Z part of the story (DBZ anime was...

Re: How Vegeta could attain this new form
Vegeta doesn't need this new form, and shouldn't get it. He should get something unique to himself. Ultra Instinct!! seems to be more a skill/technique enabled by various factors. Maybe in his most recent round in the RoSaT, he trained himself to regenerate his dormant tail on command. During the To...

Re: How do you feel about Zeno's "Oooooooh" and "Aaaaaah" during the tournament?
Adorable, particularly in the latest episodes. They are like a mirror of the child audience reaction that this series is targeted at. Maybe the Zen-o's symbolize, or represent, that the DB universe/franchise exists because of the kids. Its ongoing in-universe existence can be erased at any time if t...

Re: What If There's No Explanation For Goku's New Form?
This is a completely new branch and as such warrants a completely new explanation. Right now we are all debating whether its a "form" or a "technique" so it's kinda in a weird place right now. I hope when Goku is trying to recuperate he explains a bit about what's happening and ...

Re: Opinions on jiren?
I've never found Jiren boring, so I don't understand those comments. He's barely had any screen time until the latest two episodes, and has been intentionally reserved. Less is more sometimes. I like how he has near zero facial expression (which lends more to his character,) about anything that's ha...

Re: What If There's No Explanation For Goku's New Form?
Well, for those analytical minds that are all-needy for full explanations for whatever big event has happened in Super , or DB in general, I think that Episode #110 went way out of its way to give us most/all of the details. I mean, if a near FIVE MINUTE explanation/hypothesizing didn't clue someone...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I've never been a big fan of the driving episode either (DBZ #125). It seemed that DB was trying to be somewhat trendy around this time, with this episode's attires and the earlier "BadMan" shirt that was slapped on Vegeta. It could've worked better as a fun separate side-story mini specia...

Re: What If There's No Explanation For Goku's New Form?
Eh. I'm not a big fan of how this form has been promoted - it would've been way better if it was left as a hint in the latest NEP, or something. I understand that Shueisha/TOEI want to generate as much hype around Super as possible... oh well. It should still be cool. Anyway, Goku hasn't slept in se...

Re: Anyone else don't mind the Potaufeu episodes?
I had been struggling to even find consistently decent things about Super from the beginning of the series. Up to that point, I had been a casual and didn't see the latest episode every week - I would play catch-up every few weeks. This mini arc wiped out any motivation at the time to continue on wi...

Re: Favorite Filler Moments
I like all of the filler from the Saiyajin arc, sans Piccolo and Kuririn's tri-form against Nappa. The Space Orphans two-parter was good because I think that it was the first time that Freeza was name-dropped, and added a little backstory. All of the stuff in the earlier part of the Namek arc involv...
