Kanzenshuu

This is one hell of a bad take. Like comically bad.

Bulma wishing for perkier tits and ass and a more youthful face is nowhere near the same as Pilaf wanting to subjucate the entire world. She's also not having people murdered to get the dragon balls like Commander Red.

If this mistake was on a DVD I would also loathe it, but the ratings DBZKai got on The CW more than make up for it lol. I wish Buu Kai and Super got The CW treatment. There I said But again, it was worth it. DBZkai had such huge ratings that The CW will never ever see again. As tame as Super was it...

I'm surprised he knew going into the Boo arc he was going to end it and still tried to make Gohan the lead character. I just assumed the attempt to make Gohan the main character was to try to make the manga run a bit longer, while acknowledging Goku had been exhausted as a character. But yeah I'm no...

Weirdly enough, The thing about the half breed saiyans not having the will to improve and push themselves like their full blooded fathers always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, at least when you incorporate the context of the original DB. When Goku went through his adventures as a kid, he contende...

. You simply can't take another non-white nation's character, or even parts of their culture, and repurpose it for your own white nation's culture , even though the opposite is true I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and ask you to elaborate because otherwise fucking yikes What the fuck was I sup...

Goku tells him the same thing during the Cell Games.

Shit, I forgot about that. No wonder the kid associated world peace with studying.

The interesting thing about Goten and Trunks is their losing interest in fighting is the exact same thing Kame Sennin feared would happen to Goku and Krillin and went out of his way to prevent. Kame Sennin worried that if Goku and Krillin thought they were the best at their young age they wouldn't s...

For my money, Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle. (Movie 2) Movie 4 was made after Dragon Ball Z and definitely feels somewhat like it was made to appease Z fans by being more action-y complete with Goku screaming and powering up in the climax. Movie 1 rehashes the first arc too closely the two of ...

I mean sure, circumstances dictated Goku needed to comeback. But the story itself never has Goku address his entire reasoning for staying dead in the Cell arc, the question becomes why Goku feels differently now compared to the past. Theres no dialogue or internal thought process to provide insight...

Oh, certainly not in the Boo arc. I liked that it was at least kind of exclusive... I mean, yeah, Gotenks got it too, but at least it's not like every Saiyan started getting it. I also really like that Gohan was brought up to Super Saiyan 3 power without actually achieving Super Saiyan 3. And quite...

Its more about that narrative being put on a particular path that eventually goes nowhere, imo it is bad writing to make a big deal out of the fact that earth has to learn to live without Goku only to later to bring him up without any tangible follow up on that narrative thread. Its the thing GRRM ...

I don't see a good reason for it other than to please Vegeta fans.

It's something I think GT could have done in the Baby saga though.

I very specifically remember that happening when I was expecting to see the next episode after Vegeta's kamikaze attack. "Gohan's First Date" even debuted in the second run of those episodes in November after being skipped for being set to air too close after 9/11 and featuring buildings ...

. Come to think of it, I remember someone else saying it went back to Raditz after Final Atonement first aired. It definitely looped back to Warriors of the Dead at least after the first time that Final Atonement aired . I very specifically remember that happening when I was expecting to see the ne...

To be fair, the fact that Frieza is a genocidal maniac kind of overshadows the landshark thing. Him conquering planets is a big part of his character, but it largely happens off screen. We actually see him killing innocent people regularly, and taking pleasure out if it. We hope for his downfall pr...

I was just watching Piccolo's scene after Geets blows himself up vs Buu, he says he is now fighting for others and this deserves his respect. By now Piccolo respects everybody I guess, but did Yamcha or Chaozu ever do something to earn Piccolo's respect, like Vegeta did? I assume he respected Tensh...

, yes it may have influenced him May have. He straight up said it did. . If a kid saw Freeza as a land shark it was from the influence of the media or their parents, not Dragon Ball. "If a kid watched or read X-Men and saw that discriminating against people for the way they were born is wrong ...

He 100 percent was making a statement about land sharks Sure he mentions them within the context of the time he was writing, but ultimately that's not the message Toriyama was hoping for his readers to get. As 90sDBZ said his storytelling approach was very much "bad guys are bad because that's...

Whitewashing aside he made a decent Boo saga era Gohan, shame that wasn't the character he was supposed to be playing, but that's not his fault just the way the character was written Goku isn't white? Oh he's super white. Based on the super caucasian Jackie Chan and the Monkey King from the very wh...
