Re: Should modern Dragon Ball bring back more old concepts like Mafuba?

For the Kinto'un I'd have loved for Pan to have utilized it in her younger years, but she can already fly.... so there goes that idea :( Maybe Bra could use it if Toei actually remembers her existence . I would love to see the Taiyo-ken make a comeback! It's such a useful surprise attack I'm sad it...

Goku needs to learn new techniques

I felt like posting this here because it kind of spun out of another post I just made, but unlike that one - This pertains to new concepts and techniques. Honestly, unlike many other Shonen protagonists - Goku doesn't learn too much new stuff (I guess because he doesn't always need to). Only recentl...

Should modern Dragon Ball bring back more old concepts like Mafuba?

So, me and my brother were having one of our DB discussions and got to thinking. Bringing back the Mafuba is one of the things that has gotten me so invested in DB Super because it refurbished an old technique and re-purposed it into something relevant to modern day Dragon Ball. Seriously, because o...

Well, no - But I just assumed because it's a Funimation term.

So based on the official subs, Funimation's going with Evil Containment Wave.....

Damn, I was really hoping they'd be faithful with this technique and just call it the Mafuba because that sounds more badass and fits better to say alongside the Kamehameha. Oh well, like one fan pointed out - I guess it's better for them to keep with their established names for the English dub.

If you could name Trunks' new transformation?

As far as I know, we still don't have an official name for it. I think the unofficial name is Super Trunks or False Super Saiyan God, right? But if you could officially give it a name, what would it be? Personally, I like the transformation for keeping with SSB Kaioken in having two auras and being ...

Re: Dragon Ball GT or Dragon Ball Super? Which one is the best?

Well, even though Super is still ongoing - I guess the general consensus is that it is superior than GT, but I don't see it that way honestly. Both series have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to concepts, in particular. Dragon Ball GT: GT EXPANDS on concepts ALREADY introduced in Dragon...

Should Funimation release "Extended Resurrection F" OR "add the extended scenes to future DB Super releases"?

Personally, I feel like re-releasing an entire movie based on a few extra scenes might be pointless for Funimation. So, is it more likely that if we ever got the extended scenes released by Funi - that it'd make more sense for them to add them as a special feature on a future DB Super (most likely o...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3 HD Collection?

It's not out of the question, considering the Budokai HD Collection was used as a stop-gap between the "main" games' development cycles on that generation ( Ultimate Tenkaichi & DBZ for Kinect : 2012 / Budokai HD Collection : 2013 / Battle of Z : 2014). It's a great way to keep the fr...

So, it's just been announced that one of my childhood game series - Kingdom Hearts is getting a PS4 Collection of all the games. And I know Tenkaichi 2/3 are games of the past and many might prefer they stay that way, but still - Why can't these games get ported to the current generation of consoles...

Re: I JUST noticed that Young voiced Frieza in ep1 of the dub

If I'm not mistaken Young also says "strongest being in the universe" in the prologue of the extended version of Battle of Gods. Yeah, but I feel this was kept in because Linda Young voiced in Dragon Ball Z and Battle of Gods is a Dragon Ball Z movie. For the future of the series, I don't...

...How did I miss this? Sure, the only sound Frieza makes is a bit of laughter, but Young's Frieza laugh is VERY distinctive. What was the point of casting her for episode 1, but replacing her with Ayres for the rest of the series? Why not have Ayres do Episode 1 too? Chris Sabat revealed that they...

Re: Would you like Broly to return in Super?

Hmmm, y'know - I actually wouldn't mind Broly being placed into Super or a future series if: 1. Funimation changes this new version of Broly's name to "Broli" so that his name is more faithful to the pun (BROcoLI) and fans can separate Broly (Z) from Broli (Super). 2. Maybe, this new versi...

Re: Is Funimation really going to call Cabba "Kyabe"?

The "kya" is just incidental coming from Japanese due to the way the word was adapted in Japanese. There's no reason for us to spell it or pronounce it that way "in English," just like there's no reason for us to say "Torunks" for "Trunks" or "Cellu"...

Re: Is Funimation really going to call Cabba "Kyabe"?

Seriously though, can someone please tell me why "Cabe" is better than "Kyabe"? I agree with it, but I'm wondering is it because Cabe maintains the letters within "cabbage": CABbagE, similarly to Broli: BROcoLI?

In DB Super, we're introduced to Jaco when he comes to Earth to warn of Frieza and his men. But there's an entire manga dedicated to his origin that would be perfect as material to adapt into a two-part episode of Dragon Ball Super. Toei can literally have it to where Jaco is visiting Bulma - Then, ...
