Please don't refer to anything Japanese as "Jap". It's highly offensive.

Did Goku kickstart his Character Archetype?

We know for a fact that modern day manga authors such as Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda have stated that they took inspiration from Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball into their works, specifically Naruto and One Piece respectively. Both main characters of both series obviously use traits similar to...

Re: Cell as a SSG Ritual material

I feel like a divine magical ritual would be able to interpret that Cell is, in fact, not a Saiyan. I don't see it working at all. How would it define Cell as not being good material for the ritual though? Genetics? If so, people like Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Pan shouldn't be able to be counted eit...

Re: Will Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat be in the dub forever

I think as long as they want to do it, Goku and Vegeta will be voiced by them. But I could see Piccolo and Yamcha getting different voice actors. Pretty sure I remember seeing something where Sabat said he would rather Scott McNeil voiced Piccolo in RoF. Anybody have the quote for that? Or did I ju...

Re: NFL/DBZ Crossover

They're NFL players not weaboos. Knowing the correct pronunciation of a foreign word has absolutely nothing to do with being a Weeaboo. People throw around the label so much that its practically losing its definition. Its reached the point where merely liking anime automatically labels you as such.

Re: New Cel-Shaded Dragon Ball Z Figures Looks Awesome

Yeah, there are lots ot things that are… not quite right. Like the eyes on Goku are really large in a non-Goku way, and pretty much everything is wrong about Vegeta -- like, why is his drapey shirt so stretched and molded to him? Is he hulking out? Not really. The figure exaggerates how tight it sh...

Re: Anime fans and the word otaku?

An obsession isn't a good thing. What makes it not a good thing? When the obsession becomes unhealthy. When you put money you don't have towards your obsession rather then something more important. When you put things you want over things you need. That's when an obsession isn't a good thing. Casua...

Re: Found these DB figures in my garage.

The first Goku with the set of heads is a Super Battle Collection figure. The original figures were released in Japan in the early-mid 90's and were re-released by Irwin toys in the late 90's to early 00's. Yours is part of the gold hair variant of SSJ figures. Was released at the tail end of the li...

Re: Toei!Chi-Chi - not funny

Chi-Chi isn't even the worst case of what VegettoEX described above. She at least genuinely cares about her family, it's just her way of going about it is a bit over the top.

For any fans of Assassination Classroom reading this, I think we can all agree on someone much worse.

I know the feeling. I actually cancelled my pre-orders for Ult Gohan, Blue Goku and Gold Frieza simply because I saw no real need to own them.

I want to say...no? SSGSS Vegeta is, but I think Beerus is a regular release.
Beerus is indeed a standard release. Vegeta being an exclusive makes sense to go along with Goku and Frieza.

Re: "Son"

My guess is that it's because of the Eastern order of his name. Goku Son would sound a little unnatural, and the surname coming first can be unfamiliar to kids. Related but mainly for other people to answer: how does FUNimation's English dub handle "Monkey D. Luffy"? All three English dub...

^^That old thread actually reminded me at one point I posted this in a Kikuchi topic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5R3C4aHTdI

Not quite in Kikuchi's style but definitely around that time period you described and that distinct sound of that era.
