Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 3/29/21!)

Ehhhhhhhhh, nah. As you can see in some of the images in the video alone, this is the point where Toriyama's art started getting really sloppy. Clumsily drawn characters with weird midget-like body proportions and skinny arms start popping up all over the place around this time. I think the best ex...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 3/29/21!)

The Gohan Death Fallacy - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 16! All of Gohan's friends and family think he's dead! I can't for the life of me understand why. Then again, I also don't think Goku understands The Room of Spirit and Time. What's even happening at this point in the story? T...

Re: GT and misogyny

He's mis-gendering himself, as wearing a wig doesn't make him a woman, but it clearly allows him to get away with far more than me or you. That's a fact, whether we like it or not. I'd argue you're free to engage in debate about the fairness of applicability of rules in a forum, but using hateful, ...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 3/15/21!)

A person in the comments for the latest video raises a good point: why couldn’t they have simply gone to the Room of Spirit and Time while teaching Goten and Trunks the technique? Well, the good news is, the story does try to address this a little later on. The bad news is, the explanation given ma...

Piccolo's Fusion Paradox - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 15! Dragon Ball Dissection continues! Vegeta is gone, and the story gets a chance to breathe. Unfortunately, that just means things start getting confusing. Why can Piccolo do a dance nobody else can do? How many wishes do th...

Long Live the Prince - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 14!

Otherwise known as Vegeta Dies, and I Feel Okay About That. Yes, Dragon Ball Dissection returns for the new year, and, yes, after three episodes, we finally come to the last stop on Vegeta's crazy train!

Re: Dub-fans, was there an adjustment period for you when Goku started to be portrayed correctly in DBS?

I agree with those who have already said that, generally speaking, any feelings of alienation or an adjustment period has little to do with the dub's mishandling of Goku but simply that Dragon Ball Super's Goku is in many ways a strong departure from how he was portrayed in classic Dragon Ball. It's...

Unfrozen Caveman Broli - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Dangerous Duo! Super Warriors Can't Rest

You know what? I really like this movie. If that is even more insulting after the thrashings I gave to Vegeta, then so be it. But Videl really should be on the poster. Happy New Year!

No, it wasn't. He just says they both lived there.

Re: The idea that saiyans are not native the Planer Vegeta/Plant

I'm not sure if it goes back farther than this, but it is part of the story of the 1993 video game Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, from which the GT Baby story cribs heavily.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/25/20!)

I personally think it's a wonderful dramatic moment that appears at first to be Goku putting honor (the honor of those slain) before reason. That Vegeta's actions are so beyond the pale that giving him his comeuppance for what he's done is as important as anything else. Surely it's debatable as to w...

The Pointless Saiyan Rematch - Dragon Ball Dissection: The Majin Boo Arc Part 13!

Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy this video! Yeah, there's a fight here between Goku and Vegeta. It kinda sucks. But it's okay because we get a new villain, and he's pretty cool!

Clearly ever since I covered Vegeta's last betrayal two years ago, I've been looking forward to getting into what doesn't work for me about this. And it's kind of the culminat...

I'm loving this YouTube channel. I've had it in my to-watch list for a while now, the over-20-minute length thing was putting it off, but now I can see why it's not less, you really can't have this takes in a 10-minute video. Plus, time flies by. I love Vegeta's Buu arc outfit. Too bad it didn't st...

Did they? Was that in the comic or from a Toriyama interview? It's not stated so directly, but it is something of a necessary extrapolation. If Bibbidi created doppelgängers, and he did so in order to carry out tasks he couldn't do alone, both of which Toriyama says, then he most likely would have ...
