Re: What's the deal with that one Battle of Gods moment?
I have no strong opinion on that line anyway, regardless of the language (in French, he says "So you wanna destroy everything, IS THAT IT?", so that's one more variation for you). I guess the English line could be popular because of specific things: one of them is taking the usual "ho...

Re: Do you like Super?
I love it even a bit more than the original series/manga. It's the same, but with the benefit of having all the background from the original story to start with and making it even more and more complete as it goes on. Plus characters being updated and rehabilitated from their outdated "Z" ...

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?
^ At least it was feasible with Super , because the epilogue is short enough and evasive enough that it allows explanations to be slipped in easily, especially with no continuation beyond that in the original manga (in comparison, there would be no room for liberty at all with something as vast as t...

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?
^ The ten years separating the Boo arc from the epilogue were also uneventful, hence why Gohan stopped fighting... But then, those ten years were suddenly VERY eventful with the hightest stakes there ever were (dimensions disappearing, universes disappearing...) and it was shown that Gohan can slack...

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?

Re: Which other timeskip could work as a midquel?
The seven years between the Cell arc and the Boo arc. This would be what made Vegeta go from "I don't care about fighting anymore now that Goku's gone" to "actually, I have to keep training everyday even if Goku is gone". As for Gohan, we've now seen more than once that he doesn'...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 95 - Official Discussion Thread
^ I agree. The objective is not to "speed through it because we've already seen it all so who cares?". The objective is that it's supposed to feel like a natural manga arc for someone who has never seen the movie at all and doesn't plan on seeing it - which also gives us a 2D version of th...

Re: Anyone find it odd that Goku and Vegeta are just ok with Frieza running wild?
As funrush said, Vegeta is clearly not okay with this, which is the subject of an entire conversation in the Broly movie. As soon as the movie begins, he says this is now his main reason for training ever since Freeza was resurrected, warning Goku that the tyrant has already shown a tremendous abili...

Well, I guess it depends on the kind of things you want to see in those "let's play" videos. For example, if you're curious to see players going through the stories and how they are presented, here are some specific cases you might want to consider: - Dragon Ball Z Kakarot tries to retell ...

Re: List of dubs for some ''difficult to acquire'' Dragon Ball OVAs and Specials
^ I can confirm that the French releases always include the Japanese dub, but NEVER include any other subtitles than the French ones, sparing themselves what they probably consider useless efforts as their main/only target is the French audience. In the language menu, you can't even access the Japan...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread
The epilogue seems like a very likely candidate for the final DLC, for the reasons already listed by others if we take a look at what's been released so far. What I'm wondering is what they'll choose to include for the elements revealed beyond the original anime/manga, namely everything from Battle ...

Re: Would Goku have turned SSJ if Gohan was killed?
I don't think so, simply because Gohan would be able to come back to life later.
When he gets angry beyond all limits later on with Krilin's death, part of it is clearly stated as being because he believes his death is permanent and that he'll truly never get to see him ever again in his lifetime.

On chapter 318, when Freeza taunts Goku by saying the Saiyans have killed innocents, Viz translates Goku's response as "They died because of it." I've seen other translations as "We died because of it." What does he actually say? Does he refer to the Saiyans as an other or as an...

What would you make Bardack see in his visions?
With the original TV special, the staff was limited to the existing material and information from back then to create visions for Bardack, which stopped at the fact that Goku would face Freeza, not even showing the proper form Freeza would have at this moment for example. With newer materials like g...

A roster of 10 characters only?! Create it!
It might seem absurd by nowadays standards, but back in the SNES era, a roster of only 10 characters in a fighting game was usual. It would never happen in a fighting game today, but for the sake of imagination, imagine a new fighting game can - for some reason - afford to come out with only 10 char...

So it's pretty safe to bet t...
