Re: What If Eiichiro Oda wrote Dragon Ball?
All this praising about One Piece made me want to go back watching it. I'm still at the Alabasta Arc so i still have a lot of ground to cover! My favourite arc as of now would have to be the Arlong Arc. That arc was really awesome! Arlong is a really great villain, also really badass! :D Love his de...

Re: What If Eiichiro Oda wrote Dragon Ball?
Also no one ever looked up to Goku and thinked "you are special, people are drawn to you" I disagree with that, it's stated a number of times how Goku seems to have an ability to make friends and bring people together. In that respect I think he's definitely the archetype for that aspect ...

Re: What If Eiichiro Oda wrote Dragon Ball?
I feel it would be great, but it wouldn't feel like... Dragon Ball. One thing i always liked DB for is that the "friendship is power" theme is subtle. Goku gained SSJ for the death of his friend, but the show rarely outright said things like "nakama" or "i won't let my frien...

Re: Android #18: One of Toriyama's best designs?
I think her design is so well liked because she embodies the "femme fatale" (also her clothes are great, i kinda get a punk/metal feel out of them)
She looks deadly, cold, deceptive and sexy all at the same time!

More faithful translations: now with Bills! Dude, i know it's not accurate, that's why i haven't put in on point 2). A strange choice indeed, but i'm still happy for the other things they fixed. And at least they didn't give him a made up name. 1) That's a bummer, I like the TV series cast. I loved...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods
On the 1 and 2 February Battle of Gods will come to theaters on Italy. I went on the official Facebook page of the event and got some questions answered! 1) We will have a brand new cast, very talented and known. They already dubbed some of the first movies before. 2) We will get a more faithful tra...

Re: Fanmanga - Dragon Ball New Age
SSJ4 looks cooler with the tail IMHO.
Also, it kinda makes no sense, Vegeta trained to emit Blutz waves from his body?
How can he transform naturally without a tail?

Re: Did Power Levels ruin strategy?
The only issue I have with the fanbase is the broly worship and false comparisons. SSJ4 Broly is impossible just from the fact it requires a calm mind in the Oozaru state to transform. Broly is never calm. To be fair, one just needs to retain control as a Gold Oozaru, it's not specified that you ne...

Re: Did Power Levels ruin strategy?
IMO, SSJ ruined strategy, the moment Goku got it: he turned into a wild brawller and forgotten all the sylistic detail in his martial arts he had in Base form. After the form came out in general, DBZ just turned into a straight up firework show. Though Goku's fight with Cell redeemed some of it, th...

Re: Did Power Levels ruin strategy?
It's apples and oranges, really. Dragon Ball's fighters are mostly all martial artists, and abnormal abilities aren't the norm there. Kishimoto based his ninja off the old myths that gave them all sorts of crazy powers, which is why his ninja have such varied skill sets. And that's a really unfair ...

Did Power Levels ruin strategy?
This is not only a comparison with the original Dragon Ball series, or the "first half" of the manga. I'm also making a comparison with another manga, Naruto. In Naruto, everytime i see someone discussing a battle, they analyze every ability of the fighter, what counters what, what feats a...

Re: When exactly does Goku learn to fly?
My theory: Flying has a fixed ki cost. When he first learned how to fly, his energy reserves were quite low for the high energy cost of the technique. So he didn't use it often. So he prefered to use Kinto'un to save energy, especially if he needed the energy later for a big fight. However, training...

Re: What happened to Grand Supreme Kai?
Grand Supreme Kai was inside Buu'sbody for so long that in the end, it was completely assimilated.
I guess GSK became a part of Buu's DNA.

Re: Are the Saiyans doomed to extinction?
The fact that Humans and Saiyans can interbreed likely means that in their past they likely shared some common ancestor. Just like modern Homo sapiens that likely interbred with Homo neanderthalensis it is unnecessary to try and create a distinction between the human and saiyan species. The Tarble ...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Considering Freeza nearly killed himself with a Kienzan equivalent, I'd say that it's incredibly effective. Those Kienzan weren't created by Krillin who is massively inferior to Freeza. They were created by Freeza himself. If they couldn't even cut someone with the same power as the one that create...
