Re: Who (or what) is Mr. Popo?

The world book describes Mr. Popo as 天界の人々 (People of the Cosmos). So among that group, he's really no more absurd than King Kai or Kibit. Toriyama gives all the people of the Cosmos a mixture of Asian-themed clothing from various Asian gods. As I look into this more, I have read that both Krillin a...

Re: Any scenes when you sided against your favorite characte

How about Cell when he fought Trunks in the final future scene? (I love Cell usually) But I can't understand why he would think launching a kamehameha would be a good idea against Trunks for two reasons: (1) Cell knew Trunks had seen his perfect form, so why would surprising him with a low power kam...

Re: Language Survey 2014

Japanese. The English dub of Kai is very well done, it's really just a matter of which came first. :thumbup:

Re: Has TFS damaged the reputation of the franchise in the U

I think DBZA benefits the franchise as a mouthpiece for genuine issues in the original dubs. One of my favorite examples is Funimation's original handling of Goku's Super Saiyan Speech on Namek "I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace, etc." This speech is one of the mo...

Not really. King Cold gets his chance as part of Cell. This also allows AT to handwave any confusion over new techniques Cell has.

Re: How would the series be diffrent without Gohan?

I'm guessing the story would have been told more from Goku's point of view like BoG was. There might have been more episodes in the afterworld after Goku gets killed by Raditz. Krillin probably would've waited for Goku to go to Namek. When Goku had heart problems, the story could be shifted to Trunk...

Re: Kai Episode 132 (30 November 2014)

The scenes with Mr. Satan were the shining point. Whoever is doing his voice these days has some good delivery for Satan's gags.

Re: Kai Episode 128 (02 November 2014)

According to Anime News Network, almost everytime, Kai is on Top 10 in weekly "Most Watched Anime" but, like before, it doesn't really mean anything in terms of sales. First post! :wave: But yes, I agree. I think Kai 1.0 regularly ranked in the top 5 in Japan while airing, but it wasn't a...
