Re: Has DBS Added Too Many Storylines & Elements To Match Up Believably With Z's Final Chapter?

Bulma's "5 years" line might stop being accurate (it might already not be) if they keep going but ultimately DBS doesn't contradict EOZ at all. Beerus and Whis are somewhere else. Broly is somewhere else. Freeza is somewhere else. EOZ still works.

Re: What is your opinion about the artistic style of Dragon Ball Super?

The artstyle itself is fine, although the animation quality was shoddy a lot of the time. I think the crazy effects and attacks fit how crazy unbelievable strong everyone is now.

As far as good artstyle though, the Broly film was excellent. I wish Dragon Ball was animated like that from now on.

Re: Ideas for Kakarot 2?

Original DB should be it's own game. Super can be its own game but could also just be DLC for the first one. Some basic ideas are More quest variety. There were only 3 types of quests and the fetch quests in particular were kinda awful. less "I THINK I CAN HANDLE THIS" One or two new comba...

Re: Was Dragon Ball Super remade?

There are specific scenes that were touched up/reanimated for the Bluray release because the broadcast versions were rushed. But I don't think your pic there has anything to do with that.

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

Title implies that those who prefer Kikuchi are in denial LOL And no. Faulconer's score is cool but I like Kikuchi's better. Arguing over "modern" is pointless as both scores are dated at this point. Kikuchi's just works better for me, I like the songs more most of the time. Although there...

Re: Goku's long absences in the story

I don't mind Goku being out of commission at times, because a lot of the supporting cast is interesting and I love it when characters like Gohan/Vegeta/Trunks get a solid chunk of screentime. The problem with it is that Toriyama started using it as a crutch, it turned into a formula he'd repeat ever...

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?

I guess it's possible but there's not really anything that indicates that their relationship is romantic, although Toriyama doesn't care to put romance in this series anyway even between characters that are married.

Re: Anyone else feel it would have helped the series if Champa won?

I think a rift or animosity in Beerus' relationship with the Earth could be really cool. I think we're heading that direction since he's not around for The End of Z. But EoZ is just some Budokai. There's no reason for him to be present. He and Whis tend to only interfere if there's an Earth-threate...

Re: How Much Weaker Was First Form Frieza During Planet Vegeta's Destruction?

The whole premise of his crazy powerboost in RoF is that he literally never trained in his entire life. So I'd imagine that back then he was pretty much the same as he was in the Freeza arc. Better question is, how much stronger Freeza in now, after facing the likes of SSB, Toppo, Jiren, and Broly, ...

Re: Where did the powercreep really start?

The Saiyan arc, because that's the first arc to really put numbers to it. Before that it was like "x is stronger than y" but there weren't numbers to quantify the gap between x and y. So in the Saiyan arc you have Goku at like 400 at the beginning, and he's near like like 8,000+ at the end...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Yeah affording Kikuchi had nothing to do with it, it was just common practice to edit anime and change the music because executives were afraid of it not appealing to American children if they didn't tinker with it first. They thought eerie sci-fi synths would hook kids more than oldschool brass ban...

Re: Is Supreme Kai Shin the worst character in the franchise?

There's plenty of characters that were done worse. Kid Mai and General Blue immediately come to mind. Why General Blue? He's a solid villain. Because of the scene in the anime where they make him a pedo . The one gay character in Dragon Ball is not only an evil mercenary but also a pedophile. I'm n...

Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?

If the episode count is daunting then just read the manga instead. It only takes me like 30-45 minutes to read each volume, so ~50ish give or take hours of reading vs. ~310 hours of watching the anime. The Pokémon anime is different. It's not a story as much as a promotional tool. OP and DB are stor...

Re: I've been thinking and honestly One Piece seems superior to Dragon Ball?

. It's much better at being an ensemble show than Dragon Ball is. Dragon Ball isn’t an ensemble show. So there’s that. Goku's the clear main character but there's multiple arcs where he's not even really a participant until the very end. Toriyama tries to show off the supporting cast often and even...

Re: Where were Abo and Kado during Resurrection F?

Didn't they basically surrender and make friends with the earthlings at the end of the special? I wouldn't assume Freeza would take kindly to that, so they were probably wise not to show their faces. I guess "Freeza killed them" is a possibility but I much prefer your take that they went ...

Used to be really into figures but now I'm OCD about minimizing how much shit is on my shelves.

I like Dragon Ball more, but I will concede that as of the Fish-Man arc, (I'm on Volume 63, which is only 2/3 of what's out!!! And I've been reading for months!!!) One Piece has better writing than Dragon Ball does. Oda cares more about the side characters, tries to give everyone in the cast somethi...
