Re: Are Goten & Trunks Useful Anymore?

They do have use, just like any character in the cast. I understand they could (and probably should) have received more focus or had done something more significant: for example in Super, while everyone was away for the tournament, I think there was a missed opportunity for them to have a subplot on...

Re: Are there fans who will NOT see the Broly movie in theaters even if it is coming to their country? What's the reason

I don't know if the movie will come to my country at all but I won't watch it anyway for two simple reasons: first, I don't have any close friends that are into dragon ball; secondly, I don't like the (portuguese) dub.

Re: Is Rildo stronger than Buuhan?

To answer the topic, I don't remember the fight very well but I think that if Goku is comparing Rilldo or anyone to Boo, it would make sense to me that he would refer to the current Mr. Boo that resides on Earth, since it's the one around. Otherwise he would need to be more specific. I'd say it's a...

Re: Does the DB Fanbase Actually Despise the Garlic Jr. arc?

I (...) love the trifecta of Piccolo, Kuririn and Gohan here. It’s not without it’s flaws though, I can certainly admit that. The absence of Tenshinhan and Chaozu probably being the biggest of my woes. I absolutely agree and I seeing the other warriors handling themselves without Goku is what I lik...

Re: Infinite energy reactors make no sense

I've alway seen those reactors as something resembling batteries that store a type of energy equivalent to Ki, artificial ki of sorts, that are constantly full. I suppose if ki itself is some kind of latent universal energy, how do you even harness it? However that works, I think those "batteri...

Re: Who would have been more useful in the future timeline: Krillin or Piccolo

Definitly Piccolo... if he survived the first encounter with the androids he'd immediatly meet with Kami so they could fuse because that's exactly what he did anyway. If he uses the dragon balls before that they could bring back the rest of the group too. Once fused I'm sure he would handle the andr...

Re: ToP Arc: The Worst and most boring Arc of Super so far?

Being the worst is debatable but it wasn't boring... At first. I enjoyed most of the first episodes evolving the team recruitment section and the 3v3 fight against the wolves (I mean, how often did we get to see Boo fight?), despite some fragilities. The problem for me, and the root of the boredom, ...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/18/18!)

The back tingles are actually related to real world martial arts concepts. From Kendamu's Twitter : "In martial arts, there are three Dan Tian/Tanden (energy centers) that ki/chi goes through. The middle one, where the tingly feeling is on a Saiyan, is specifically the EMOTIONAL CENTER of ki f...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/18/18!)

The other thing I liked (and personally the best thing in it) was Goku momentarily absorving the Genki Dama; I think Krillin's line was a way of trying to say it was an impressive feat combining a technique that requires a calm and relaxed mind to concentrate with a transformation triggered by rage...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/18/18!)

Despite being tired out gags, I do like the fact the movie takes the characters into a shopping mall. The few iddle scenes in previous movies are usually set in the countryside, so liked seeing them hanging out in the city for a change. The other thing I liked (and personally the best thing in it) w...

Despite being a one sided beat down I'm enjoying the choreography so far. I'm guessing Videl is indeed the strongest member of this universe. She cannot be stronger than cyborg Yamcha. Honestly I agree she shouldn't, but the way Videl has been shown fighting I just wouldn't be surprised if she actu...

Re: Piccolo Daimaō Killing The Pilaf Gang...

Frankly they had 0 impact in Dragon Ball "Z" so their deaths would make no difference. In Super they gathered the dragon balls during the RoF arc and were forced to wish for Freeza's revival, but I guess that if Sorbet failed to get the dragon balls on earth (which still baffles me that th...
