Re: Is there a DB song that you listen to everyday?

Kokoro No Hane. Short version for Kai used as the ending these, long version, male version, I'll listen to it in every way possible. It's my favorite Japanese song by far.

Re: DragonBall when compared to other anime

I haven't watched too many anime, but ones like Code Geass and Death Note absolutely demolish Dragon Ball when it comes to story and theme. Other anime like Cowboy Bebop demolish DB on the artistic and stylish front... but yet Dragon Ball and DBZ are my all time favorite shows. I agree that Dragon B...

Should Piccolo Have Died From Imperfect Cell

A big complaint I hear about Gohan becoming the hero in the Cell Games is that it's abrupt and that he has no connection to the main villain at all. Piccolo being killed from Imperfect Cell would fix all that and give Gohan a strong reason to want to fight Cell and stop him. It would make the traini...

Conditioning When It Comes to Battles

So when it comes to real fights, conditioning is a big part especially when fights drag on. You could have a fighter with a lot more knock out power but low stamina and thus loses power more quickly than the weaker fighter and ends up being the weakest in the end of it all, leading to something like...

Re: Why is Piccolo Considered "The Black Guy"?

[ Most of those are horrible stereotypes, though. Which I'm not going to hold against Toriyama too much. Japan was very late, and still is, in some sense, in catching up to peer countries in terms of racial sensitivity, being very homogeneous itself. Though they received those images, the problemat...

Hey, I've got an interesting one: Whis vs. XXI (from DBM) Rules are the same as the tournament in DBM... Well, we don't know everything Whis and XXI are capable of, but I say Whis wins this because even if he is trapped in another dimension, he can just reverse time to before XXI does the spell and...

Re: Which is worse to you: bad art or bad animation?

This is a topic that kind of popped into my head while I was watching episode 21 of Super. I thought it was a great episode and the art overall was pretty fine, but I thought that the animation itself was pretty dull and slow. We've seen the opposite of this in Super before: episode 14. Episode 14 ...

Re: Favourite Overlooked Moments?

I'll add this one. It's a really nice and powerful filler scene that, admittedly, makes no sense as to how Goku could have been imagining all of that, but still. I've never been much of a fan of the anime adding all that extra fated weight to the Goku-Freeza fight. For me, it's a little more powerf...

Yeah yeah, a topic like this may makes some eyes roll, but we should all be capable of having an actual discussion about Goku and Vegeta's sexuality (well, some of us, at least 8) ) Goku: Before his marriage to Chi Chi we get no indication that he's sexually interested in any girl, whatsoever.

Now with Kai all done from the Saiyan to the Buu arcs, do you feel Kai was a necessary inclusion to the franchise? A lot of the complaints I hear from people are that it wasn't reanimated (though with Super's track record I'm glad Kai wasn't), the music scandal, there still being filler and other st...

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: What do you hope for the 5th member to be like (spoilers

So in Super, we know that Beerus will be recruiting a 5th mystery member to his team for Champa's tournament. Apparently, this character is stronger than Goku and has to, I imagine, reside in Universe 7. So what sort of character are you hoping for? Species: - Anthropomorphic animal like Beerus? - ...

Re: What you think about DBS?

In simple terms: I'm starting to wish this anime was never made and we got a weekly manga series instead. Toyotaro's art doesn't have the same charm as Toriyama's (especially AT's earlier work) but it would be a huge step up from the anime. The comedy is nailed in the manga, the fights actually have...

Re: Who would you pick as the next generation of fighters?

Uub, Pan, Bra and Marron. We got a nice mix of humans and Saiyans in there and some females that can one day kick some serious ass. And before someone says that Marron would be useless: 1. It's shown throughout the series that the new generation is stronger than the old one. 2. Roshi never got past ...
