What is Taiyoken anyway? Just bringing as much physical ki to cover their bodies as quickly as possible? If Goku as a Super Saiya-jin 3 did this, he could probably bend the light right around the world, enough to sizzle our corneas, I'm guessing. I think the Taiyoken somehow uses ki to reflect and ...

In the Dub, the constant offscreen chit-chat between characters or character monologues gets really annoying after a while. Especially some of the things that they say is stupid and ridiculous, also sometimes contradicts the story later on. And I can think of one time that they really fuck up, it's ...

I discuss at MFG often, and I also consider it a less reliable source than Daizex, even though the discussions are usually both more active and amusing than the discussions here on Daizex; no offense to you VegettoEX. However, I do remember this discussion on MFG last week, and this guy on YouTube o...

The stupidest thing that I can think about for this manga is that it's obviously isn't Toriyama because the real Dragon Ball manga is called just that: Dragon Ball. Even volumes 17-42 are still called Dragon Ball, or what is better known to the world as Dragon Ball Z (anime name). So if it was Toriy...

People here already know my veiw on cosplay, as geeky of an activity as I believe it to be, I do admire people's abilities when it comes to costume design.

LOL. "Bed Head".

I've always called it "Pillow Head". When I had short hair, I'd have it every morning. I tried combing it out, but it never worked.

There is no way to tell, it depends on how strong the character is, how strong the blast is, how condensed it is, what type of blast it is, etc. And as we've all seemed to have made the mistake at least once in our Forum excersions of trying to apply real-world logic to Dragon Ball. It simply can't ...

I'm not entirely sure if I'll like the live Dragon Ball movie because I actually don't like any of the Dragon Ball movies (except for the 10th anniversary special). But I have to admit, it will be interesting to see a live action take on it. But if you think about it, Dragon Ball is too abstract and...

I doubt the reliability of that list, even if it was made by Toei. The serious issues with it that I have is that they don't list regular Vegeta as SSj2 or SSj4. And I've never heard Toriyama state that Gotenks ever really displayed his SSj2 ability. Electrical bolts also aren't 100% verifiability ...

Eh, cool as the rest of him is, I'm not too keen on his face. XP I agree. His face is less then great. I can afford, but I still don't think it's worth that pricetag. I care about appearence, not so much how much I can position him. With a figure of that price 99% of the buyers will probably have h...

What about Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr.? I know it's barely canon to the end of the Dragonball series, but they turned Super Saiyan. Barely Canon doesn't even come close, more so not canon at all. Toei ignored the Daizenshuu when they made GT. Of course there's odd mutations in genomes, but that doesn't...

Obviously some over-paid kiddie book illustrartor. You can tell for the bodies of all the forms of Goku, the artist didn't use guidelines. The shoulder on SSj3 Goku is set way too low, and his arm's too small. The other one that Hujio posted isn't too bad, even though I'm not a fan of the fist towar...

Re: When do we actually learn Bra's name?

Is it ever stated in the last portion of the manga, or did we not know until GT aired? If the manga gave her a name, how did Viz translate it? Was it Bra, or the more "family friendly" Bulla? http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1048/img038li7.jpg As for the gap between Z and GT, no one kno...

So then would that mean that Gohan being born with a tail was luck? No, it means ChiChi is a Saiyan. LOL However, looking at the situation realistically, Gohan had a 50/50 chance of being born with a tail; same with Goten, Trunks and Bra. However, with the three younger hybrids, it seems that their...
