Re: DBZ: Attack of the Saiyans Speedrun Route (4:37:42)

Wonderful, my friend! I always loved this game too, it's a shame we don't get true jRPGs for the franchise anymore :( I'd take some time to see your run, but I'm a completion archiever, so speedruns doesn't appeal that much to me. To say, I was keen of catching every possible enemy with the Mafuba i...

Re: The punch that fell Broly in the original movie

The attack in question is called "Miracle Blow" in Daizenshuu 6 (as per the unreliable DB Wikia) and "Ultimate Fist" in Dragon Ball Legends (oh how I love Blueku's smile...)

Re: Beerus's Attitude Towards Potential Destroyers.

TBH it seems that Beerus shenanigans are irrelevant to Whis in the endgame, and he's the one charged with choosing the successor. So, I don't really think any opposition, if any, to be really harmful.

Did anyone noticed how the "majin" inmate switched from rounded ears to pointy ones from one panel to other? And what about getting a majin there? What is supposed to be the actual in-continuity explanation to Majin's origins as of now? Oh and btw one of the inmates is I think of the same ...

Re: Are Tien and Chiaotzu a romantic couple?

Saint Seiya had also some gay characters in it... Lacerta Misty and Pisces Aphrodite (with lipstick and rose based attacks). But that wasn't used as a statement either, but rather as being part of their character as they both were narcissists that admired their beauty Neither is gay, as in homosexu...

Re: Would Training With Daishinkan Produce The Best Results For Fighters?

Gohan's Birth Date

So, I'm somewhat confused. I have been seeing Gohan's birth date stated as May 18. This have been stated in the always unreliable Wikia (now Fandom), and if that would have been the only source I'd gladly disregard it, but the likes of MasakoX and others have repeated the date. At first, I though th...

Re: What's the point of bringing (Movie 20 spoilers) back?

Before some smartass comes at me about Zamasu and Black, yes, they were unique characters. No, they are not. They are the Western Kaioshin and Xicor/Psycho from Toyble's AF. Mediocre Toyotaro be damned. Everything since 1984 was about money. Toriyama and Shueisha never produced the series thinking ...

I'd like to get some help with this topic: What works for the DB franchise are explicitly named as spin-offs, gaiden, original stories or whatsoever? And by who? I remember some statement by Toriyama himself regarding GT as a "side story" or something, and also some commercial ad for Drago...

Re: What was happening in Dragon Ball on your birth week?

I was born one month and a half before the release of "Bulma and Son Goku". When my wife was born, Piccolo Daimaoh had just take over the world in the manga, and in the anime, Yamcha was battling Tenshinhan.

Re: Why did the animal characters just disappear?

There's a whole plotline in DBO about animal-human discrimination as the main motive for new recruits to join the Red Pants Army, the RR revival. So, there's that for In-Universe explanations, at least for DBO/XV/H (?) canon.

Re: The Movie Timeline

IIRC Xenoverse 2 states that movies (or some version of) happens in alternate timelines/realities. Some remembers if is only one or one for each movie/story/character (namely Turles and Slug)?

Re: I'm the Dr. Slump Wiki's new admin, and could use some help

Try to differentiate all versions of a given character or concept for all canons, ala Wookiepedia. That's the polar opposite to the mess that DB wikia tries to be with its (unsustainable and contradictory) unifiying interpretation.

Because 1) it really is a very silly series, but more than that 2) it was marketed consciously to the lowest common-denominator in the usa, because Latin America also exists and isnt under Funimation's thumb (which is presumably what you're talking about). Sorry/not sorry. We might be looking at a ...

Re: If Cell Were In The ToP Would He Be Able to Fly?

Elytra. You're speaking about Cell's elytra (singular, elytron). That's not for flying, more like wing armor or sheath. Some beetles family, ie. Carabidae, got them fused with the true wings and thus are incapable of flight. I think that's the case with Cell, taking in account that his second form f...
