Re: Are Saiyans rapists?

Since this is a series aimed at a young audience, it is probably good that it is never said. But looking at what the saiyans typically did as a living... I'm sure they did do those kinds of things. Not all of them though, and I doubt Vegeta ever did anything of the sort... although it appears he was...

Re: Hiromi Tsuru, Bulma's voice actor, has passed away.

Are they going to re-cast the role?

I can't imagine that Bulma won't have another speaking role in the rest of the series.

It's going to be weird to hear another voice from her...

Hiromi Tsuru will be missed. :cry:

Oolong.

I think I can pull of his personality if I altered my voice. Plus, I've always liked his personality.

Re: Do you think Broly represents what dragon ball is

I think they under the impression that it's a prequel and because they aren't as strong, the fights aren't as good. Most likely. I always felt that the fights in "original" Dragon Ball were better because it was more enjoyable to see some modicum of strategy employed. That being said, I l...

No power-up will ever top Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation and the subsequent Freeza fight.

Not even Super Saiyan 3. (tbh I thought this power-up was pretty meh and I don't like the design)

Re: Do you think Broly represents what dragon ball is

I dunno. Not to come off as condescending, but I think a good amount of people aren't good at introspection. I think they do like DB for reasons they don't fully understand and thus can't articulate, so the surface level stuff, like power levels and such, is the best answers they have. Maybe... but...

Yamcha - He is relatable to me and I find him quite endearing despite him getting the short end of the stick ...

Re: Do you think Broly represents what dragon ball is

I think there is a good portion of the fanbase that cares more about power levels and who can beat who instead of having a good story with tasteful action in it. I guess in a way, Broly represents how the fandom cares more about power than actual characters (not saying that's the case on this forum ...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I guess another unpopular opinion I have is that I actually really like Path to Power, The World's Strongest, and Wrath of the Dragon.

Apart from those three, I'm not a really big fan of the other DB/Z films.... which I would also assume is unpopular.

Re: [MANGA RELATED QUESTION] Standard Viz vs VizBig

Yeah, I have a couple of single volumes but I mostly started collecting the series in VizBig format. They seem to be the best option. My only worry is that the spine might come undone but as long as I take care of my copies... things should be fine. So between releases... the VizBigs are probably th...

Re: Would it still be Dragon Ball with out Goku, his family, and friends?

I think that you can definitely pass the torch onto another main character and the best way to do it is to keep Goku and the others in the story, but largely in the background. They can show up from time to time to actually help out in any battles but they shouldn't steal any of the spotlight. This ...

Re: Something fans should consider: From drought period to now

While I enjoy Super for the most part, there's a part of me that feels like it isn't the same as what came before... The inclusion of more saiyans, especially female ones, is cool but the entire thing has a lot of other issues that I immediately can pick up on and sometimes that takes me out of it. ...

Chi-Chi and Lunch...

I guess I have a thing for the crazy ones. :wtf:

I'd have picked Bulma but personality-wise, she was only tolerable to me in certain sagas. I actually found her annoying a lot (especially in the Pilaf and Namek Sagas).

Re: Who looks more disgusting: Freeza 3rd form or Cell 1st form?

Design-wise, I actually like 1st Form Cell because he looked like a scary insect monster and therefore seemed very threatening.

However, Cell 1st Form is probably more disgusting simply for that insect aspect alone... which looks less threatening with each transformation to be honest.

Re: Who do you think is the worst character in Dragon Ball?

I don't particularly like Vegeta myself (except for in the Saiyan and Namek/Frieza arcs in which he was more villainous) but I can respect those that do. I just think he's pretty dull and infuriating throughout the second half of the original manga. However, DBS (as much as that series has problems)...

Re: Your personal canon for Dragon Ball

By all accounts and purposes, if I disliked every saga after the Saiyan Saga and anything that came before and I chose to discard them, then by default my 'personal canon' would be the Saiyan Saga only. There is no such thing as 'personal canon' because what IS canon stays canon. No question about ...
