About how Piccolo judged him. Given this Piccolo fused to Kami/God during the Android arc, he actually WOULD have a way to know well about how someone would be received by Yemma/Enma. And given one big heroic action wouldn't absolve Vegeta of ALL of what he did before turning a new leaf, he isn't a...

Dende is completely confused by Bulma's attempt at explaining what males and females are. The concept just plain doesn't exist to them. Nameckian aren't "male" or "masculine", they're just... Nameckian. It's like asking why humans are all tree and never mountain. What does that ...

What would that be?

Yeah, that's the one!

Anime Filler Saved Vegeta - DBD TV: The Cell Arc Part 1 DBD TV returns with a look at The Cell Arc! It's definitely the kinds of things I really enjoy talking about. Vegeta is handled so much better here than in the original manga. There are a surprising number of similar, recurring filler ideas. A...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, though. Are these two separate complaints or one? What rant in the Bardock Special? What dismissal?

The Complexity of Majin Boo - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 20! Majin Boo gets a spiffy new face. And then another one. Transforming villains have returned. We all know how I feel about that. But we just came off of a big character moment. Is that able to salvage this? Well, yes. Y...

And if you can't agree on your terms, how productive is the conversation. Nothing devolved. My point is, when these conversations get hung up on the minutiae of debating the definition of the term, the thread often stops being about the topic. I'd much rather get a chance to discuss the narrative i...

Of course I can't contribute to this thread without it devolving into an argument about what a retcon is. And despite me having to jump into the trenches for years just on this board alone, I have yet to see any official dictionary definition of the word that insists or intimates there it must creat...

I'd undo Raditz telling Goku he's an alien. I don't really have anything against it. But since the introduction of Saiyans has shaped the direction, storytelling, and style of the franchise more than anything else, I'd be very curious to see a world where that never happened, and what Dragon Ball wo...

"Rewatch" is going to be hard for me to answer because I've only ever watched it once. I've read it many times, and I consider it to be the best arc in Dragon Ball, but I only ever saw the anime version once, about seven years ago. And I'd already heard its reputation for padding it out to...

Well, I hate to interrupt this discussion on Super Saiyan 3, but it's new DBD time! Dragon Ball's Greatest Friendship - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 19! I'm going to go ahead and give it all away: this is probably my favorite part of this storyline. We get a villain with a personal...

Not that this is remotely related, but your avatar is so cute!

How Humor Saved Dragon Ball - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 18! So a little detour to talk about all the comments I got regarding whether or not Goku turning Super Saiyan 3 would have awakened Boo (it wouldn't). After that, I continue the story after Goku returns to the afterlife. ...

I agree with just about everything the review lays out, and it almost makes me want to watch it again, but it's always one I feel like I come away having less fun with than the sum of its parts implies I should. I want to like it more than I do because of its cast and goofy B-movie premise, but I j...

Broli the Saddest Blob - Dragon Ball Dissection: Super Warriors Crushed!! I Will Be the One Who Wins Well, I've finally reached "that" movie. You know, the one everyone hates. Broli is back, and he's a clone and a blob and a blob clone. Wacky antics with the kids. #18 is there. So what's ...

At the same time, he takes it upon himself to further the wedge been Majin Boo and Bobbidi. Has Goku finally matured as a character? And w...

This thread is making me feel mixed emotions. On one hand, it's making me glad I've never seen Super Dragon Ball Heroes and making me wish it didn't exist. On the other hand, it's making me glad there's a branch of DB I care so little about that can absorb all these terrible fanfiction ideas so they...

I'm not trying to be disingenuous. It's just... Vegeta's getting invited to cookouts the moment the Freeza Arc wraps up. Even Buffy had the decency to stick a control chip in Spike's brain before they tried that. It's so brazen I can't fault fans for going along with it. Toriyama might as well have...
