Kanzenshuu

The Goku-Freeza team-up.

So I really enjoyed this movie, and I just found out in the few hours that internationally it did gangbusters...But it wasn't well received in Japan. Makes me wonder how this will play out in future movies or a new series. (if they do it) The international voice of Dragonball is the strongest it ev...

There's plenty of setup left to get through. Seems more likely to me this month will end in the middle of Gohan vs. Gamma 1, which could give us up to another four or five months of the arc. (Longer than I originally predicted, but that seems like the most reasonable prediction based on where we are...

I think it's fairly cut and dry. The story has three clear beginnings, three spots of rising action, and three climaxes. 1-40, 42-47 (with 41 being in there as a little in-between), and 48-64. The Super 17 arc may provide a catalyst for/tie into the following one, but it's no different from the Saiy...

Potential hurdles right now (all conjecture): DB appears to be doing fine financially just based on games, films, manga and merch, so the resources and timeslot that might be spent on a new anime would be better spent cementing other properties A direct sequel to the first run of Super would be too ...

Mike hardly even weighs in on anything except to steer back threads going off track. I don't know what this is referring to.

(Penguintruth probably should have been off the boards long before the Schemmel thing happened, but that was a case of two hot-headed inviduals.)

If I recall correctly, Magenta tells Hedo he'd been funding Gero while trying to recruit Hedo in the car.

There's nothing saying one way or the other what happened to Crane Hermit and Tao Pai Pai either, at least as far as I'm aware. Definitely not in the series itself. Toriyama said in a Q&A that they died and weren’t restored to life. Q3: What became of Tsuru-Sen’nin and Tao Pai-pai afterwards? Y...

I think the wish basically has to be interpreted as only not bringing back the cosmically evil beings like Bobbidi and co. (whose resurrections it was worded to avoid). It's not like every violent criminal suddenly vanished off the face of the Earth after the Boo arc. There's nothing saying one way ...

Goku telling Gohan to apologize to Chi-Chi for him, since he was "always doin' whatever he wanted," just before he teleports off with Cell. A really, really good additional line in the middle of an adapted scene. The anime was in rare form there. EDIT--Oh, if we're just talking in terms of...

Without help from his friends and masters to get stronger, a hostile Goku would only have lasted as long as it took him to meet Yajirobe.

The manga should have Goku talk down on meditation even harder.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually think that the fight choreography in Super Hero is better than Broly. It really stands out in the middle of the film when Gohan and Piccolo are fighting the Gammas. The Piccolo vs Gamma 2 clip is my favourite. Aerial fights have never looked that w...

It might not be as straightforward as “more damage = more power” when it’s not tied to the psychology of a life-or-death fight.

It’s also not clear that whatever boosts he gets while in the form are permanent.

Is Goku actually weaker from the Moro arc to Granolah? The inner conflict seems to have affected his mastery of Ultra Instinct. Sign is somehow more effective in battle but we see that in overall battle power the silver form is still top dog when at the end of the arc he pulls out the Ki avatar aga...

Those are pretty phenomenal numbers for being a sequel or spin-off, and for not having a current anime on the air. (Even with the movie boost.) You’ll get people trying to spin it as unremarkable for whatever reason, but only in the world of comparisons to the original run or other major Jump series...

Toyotarou's character bias is so blatantly obvious sometimes :lol: Krillin gets wrecked by a robot wasp meanwhile Piccolo puts up a better fight against Gamma 2 than he did in the movie. The only thing that's been made clear to me over the years is that Toyotaro absolutely loves whatever character ...

How does Piccolos performance against Gamma 2 compare. His relative level of fear and stuff? Strength statements from Gamma about Piccolo etc, Been a while since I saw the movie. Even with Piccolo getting some blows in, Gamma 2 reports it was absolutely no sweat and even "disappointing" u...

Toyotaro fell prey to one of my least-favorite modern DB tropes, in having Piccolo lose limbs like he's made of paper, just because he's the only one who happens to be able to grow them back. Up to now, that one had been reserved for Toei. That aside, it's a fun chapter, and one that packs in quite ...
