Kanzenshuu

You made a terrible day do a 180 with that episode. Thank you.

zDBZ keeps bringing up the Great Saiyaman "arc", but to the extent it works is in part because it's relatively short. Sometimes things work BECAUSE of the limited amount of screentime. The extent that it works is because it helped show Earth in a time of peace. It allowed for the slow bur...

Gohan is far more of a superhero than Goku is. He fits the mold of a traditional hero than a wuxia hero like Goku whose fundamental goal is to fight stronger and stronger opponents. What do you think Gohan would be driven to do if he was the main character? Study. Read. Enjoy the countryside he liv...

You talk about set up and pay off, which I believe in as well, but you miss that the biggest set up is Goku's return from the dead are a huge reason for Buu's release. Had Goku not returned from the dead, Vegeta never would've agreed to go to the TB, seen Babidi's magic, and turned on everyone to f...

Deus ex machina is defined as "a person or thing (as in fiction or drama) that appears or is introduced suddenly and unexpectedly and provides a contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty." No, the earrings don't defeat Buutenks (or Buuhan). They are nevertheless a sudden, u...

Great...now I'm having dreams about cryptic tweets and comedy sketches teasing the fate of DBZA. I'd say that's as good a warning as any to chill out about this...

I don't know what MistareFusion's thoughts on Buu are going to end up being, but I'll borrow from one of his Cell saga videos - good storytelling and character development > Wuxia conventions. And I cannot understand the logic that a character who's reluctant to fight can't be the main character of...

In all other instances (except Raditz, but that was such a spontaneous event), Gohan was part of a group of fighters working together to fight a powerful enemy. Gohan was prepared to stand alone against Nappa, Vegeta, and Recoome, but only after everyone else's ability to fight was exhausted. With ...

My gosh, I read it fast and I thought Kaiser said "Yeah, were announcing our decision to end on the Part 3" My heart almost came out of my mouth :D https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b5/a4/df/b5a4dfe16414bce9e549a6c779af2793.jpg More seriously, for anyone who would know - what were the musica...

They don't immediately get sent to Hell. Enma has to pass judgment on them. There's plenty of set up, and they aren't a deus ex machina. It in no way breaks the rules of DB World. And Piccolo didn't diliver exposition to the audience. We already knew what happens to souls that go to Hell. We also k...

I do feel it was not justifiable, but absolutely necessary. Him giving up his life was great, but it didn't bring closure to his arc because his hang up is centered around Goku. Until he finally admits to himself that Goku is the better of the two without any reservation, his character arc still ha...

Goku taking things over again might mean that the series has a single protagonist from beginning to end, but it's at the expense of every story thread in play throughout the Buu saga and to the detriment of every other character that had been involved - and I'm including Vegeta in that count. How d...

Absolutely. Not only did Goku elect to stay dead after coaching his son through defeating Cell; not only did Toriyama have Master Roshi pop up to explicitly state that Gohan was taking over as series lead; but the Buu saga itself, right up until Old Kai gives Goku his life and the earrings, presente...

As short as it is, Gogeta's fight with Janemba is extremely impressive, and his finishing move is unique. For me, at least, Vegetto overstayed his welcome. I also think Gogeta was the more successful character design; not that there's necessarily anything wrong with Vegetto, but Gogeta's design is s...

Not sure in which order these would be on a given day, but the ten that come to mind are: - The death of Bardock - The death of Vegeta (Freeza Saga, and this includes his plea to Goku) - Gohan turns SSJ2 - Piccolo sacrifices himself for Gohan - Gogeta vs. Janemba - Gohan teaching Videl and Goten to ...

While I understand if this is the end of the series, now I'm really hoping they go on, just to see what they do with all the ups and downs Gohan goes through in Buu...

[spoiler]The only thing I felt was missing here was more of a reaction from Piccolo to what Gohan becomes. And it felt a little strange that he was the one with the "stole the win" joke. But aside from that, this was fantastic.[/spoiler]

Kaiser, you guys did exactly what I was hoping you'd do with SSJ2 Gohan. That was funny and genuinely chilling at the same time.

I know this being discussed to death and I don't remeber ever getting a consensus on it, but since TFS had brought it: Why people think Gohan was not OOC on Cell Games? The dude raged on Raditz, Nappa, went mad on Freeza because of Krillin and Piccolo (even though they were not killed), then he tra...

The full version of "Day of Fate" is haunting, beautiful, possibly my favorite thing to come out of TFS to date...and makes me upset about the way the Buu saga ended all over again.
