Re: Most memorable BS dub lines / names

"Spirit Ball" which comes from Sokidan.

Like a lot of the names for attacks it's really lame and generic. I would've listed more but all the ones I can think of off the top of my head have already been taken.

Re: What's the best fight scene/moment, including movies?

Goku vs. Piccolo Daimao, that's the first time, at least for me, that I got scared for the characters. Kuririn, Chaozu, Roshi have all been killed. Tenshinhan has been broken and is struggling to keep going, Yamucha's out of commission. Goku shows up with new found strength, saving Tenshinhan, then ...

Re: Who here has actually seen Dr. Slump? Is it worth watchi

I wonder whether it would have been a hit if the Harmony Gold dub had aired on TV. Actually, they did do a pilot episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxJh5pRzO-Q , however that failed miserably and I personally am kind of glad it did. I imagine it would've been changed and twisted way to much fr...

Re: Will Toriyama ever reintroduce tails/Oozaru?

I've always wanted to see an adult Goku with a tail, especially after seeing the fourth GT ending. I think saiyajin look a lot better with the tail, it gives their look more of a sense of barbarism, a species who values pride and honor more than their own lives, not that I would want to see the Goku...

Re: Experiences introducing the Japanese version to friends?

This is just an update on my last post here, I don't really know why but my friend who was strictly sticking to the English dub has randomly started watching the Japanese version and really likes it. I don't know what convinced him, but he seems to be pretty genuine about liking it.

Re: Who here has actually seen Dr. Slump? Is it worth watchi

It's definitely worth watching, though there are only about 20 subbed episodes online and maybe a few of the movies. I bought the box set from Amazon Japan which, obviously, wasn't subbed. I know enough Japanese to have been able to enjoy it.

Re: Dragon Ball GT - Rooted in the '90s (pro or con?)

I have sort of a love-hate relationship with GT and it's definitely because of the 90's style, not that I dislike style. I think that's one of the biggest reasons GT gets so much flak, though, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were both written in the same style and any of the differences had time to se...

Re: So, about the Broly hate...

Because everyone acts like he's the strongest character in existence, when in reality he's one of the weaker villains that we see in Z.

Re: Favorite Filler Fights

There's a scene right after Vegeta comes back to Earth with Baba where he and Goku fight Boo before Goku ultimately convinces Vegeta to fuse. I just like this scene because it seems to fit Vegeta's pride and such a lot more. However, it does kind of make his shift to being a good guy a little more a...

Re: Experiences introducing the Japanese version to friends?

I'm going to begin my story to introducing a few my friends to the show itself. I first got into Dragon Ball about 4 - 5 years ago and tried to get a few of my friends into it for a few months to no avail. After about a year I lost interest with the show myself because I figured I'd seen all there w...

Re: Check Out Akira Toriyama Mansion ;)

So anyway, what do you all think is inside casa de Toriyama? Is it just your average (Japanese) household on the inside? Is there Dragon Ball/Doctor Slump merchandise everywhere? Does he have a huge garage full of classic vehicles with sketches of them on the walls? I'd say his house is just like a...

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden (3DS)

Looks like a great game, I think it'll be fun but nothing to invest hours upon hours upon hours into. I'll probably only play it about as much as I would an addicting iPhone app or whatever.

The recent thing that I bought was the first game, Dragon Ball: Dragon Daihikyo, but the most recent Dragon Ball thing that came into my possession is Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files Vol. 2 which was a gift from a friend.

Re: Do Kaioshins sleep?

Well, the few times that we see them sleep they are all still alive, so they probably eat, sleep, and drink like we do up until they die, afterward there wouldn't really be a point. Although, Goku ate a load of food after death, but y'know, that's Goku.

If this includes filler characters, then I'm choosing the long since forgotten Karoni and Piroshiki . For those that don't remember they were Mr. Satan's pupils during the Cell Games. I shouldn't really have to say anything else...

Re: Did you come around to liking Mr. Satan?

I hate him during the Cell Games, from the my first time watching to today, he takes away from the actual fighting and story to much. But after the seven years of peace he becomes one of my favorite characters.
