Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Saturday only did 47.7% of last Saturday, a big drop this weekend then seemingly due to One Piece Red which from the looks of it its opening day is higher than Super Hero's first several days. So that's probably about ¥5-6 million today. About ¥2.43 billion. Gonna likely miss ¥2.44 billion unless I...

Re: The Real Meaning Behind Dragon Ball's Ending

Sure, but that is only in the 2000's kanzenban release, last number released in 2007, which is over a decade after the original ending, meaning that Toriyama was obviously out of touch with the series, especially given how forgetful Toriyama is about things, i feel like, when making this epilogue p...

Re: The Real Meaning Behind Dragon Ball's Ending

Great analysis, Izanagi . It's just a shame that it's rendered almost entirely pointless by one panel: https://i.imgur.com/xdsC0qc.jpg Vegeta: "Sooner or later, Kakarrot, I will show you defeat… Hmph!" That one line pretty much kills the idea of Vegeta being content about being inferior to...

Re: Will there ever be a Dragon Ball series with an entirely new cast of characters?

No.

Goku is the centrepiece for Dragon Ball when it comes to having any kind of ongoing narrative and there hasn't been any need to change that as it is still been profitable for Shueisha, Toei and Bandai.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

Hopefully it can surpass Super Android 13! and Return of Cooler . I've made peace with knowing Super Hero is going to be the lowest grossing movie of the modern era, but I want to see it at least in the same ballpark as them box office-wise when all is said and done. There's very little chance of i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 86 - Official Discussion Thread

Random and scattered thoughts of Chapter 86: - Legit forget this chapter came out yesterday. (That tells you how much I'm invested in this arc) - I find the Ki-enlarged attacks to be weird and kinda lame. Like, the giant fist, giant boot and giant spirit Goku just seem too... Shonen-esque (?) - Oil ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

As for adapting SH, how? Moving it between Broly and Moro wouldn't really work because of Gohan and Piccolo's new forms. Those forms mean literally nothing to the characters. Hell, the plot itself for Superhero is quite inconsequential with how written in a vacuum it s. So tweaking and changing ele...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

If this rumour is to be believed, count me in the group expecting a Broly and Superhero retelling. But I would throw in they'd probably adapt the manga arcs, because at this stage, why the fuck not? I know the current mentality is there are basically three continuities (movies, anime and manga). Sti...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Did this movie really need to give Piccolo not just one, but two new forms? No. One was enough. In Super Piccolo got yelled off the stage by Vegeta in the U6 Tournament arc and lost to Jiminy Cricket in the ToP , he deserved 15 new transformations with his theme song played by Metallica in the back...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Alright, is this movie being a flop financially? Because the future of a 2D continuation and the chance to keep having people like Shida, Takahashi, Manabe, Karazawa, Tu, Nikaido, Higashide and more depends on it. Toei won't let go 3D animation if this abomination succeeds If you want to know how w...

Said yesterday Resurrection F and Broly increased 24% and 31%. Super Hero has increased...by 1%.... Damn, this is disheartening. Moreover, I checked the Dub Trailer views and it hasn't reached 1 mill even after 4 days which is no good for DB franchise. I don't actually care for numbers outside of w...

Re: What is the minimum age you would recommend Dragon Ball for?

I'd say 10. Dragon Ball may have its decent share of sexual humour and violence -- with the former being much more prevalent in the early portion of the manga -- but it's so over the top and juvenile in its execution that I can't imagine it leaving that much of a negative impression on children from...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Box Office Thread

I wonder why it took more time to get an international release for this film than it did for DBS Broly? You'd think with how stupidly successful DBS Broly was internationally, Toei would push for a much sooner international release or perhaps even a simultaneous release. I just hope there's still en...
