Yamcha puts up decent resistance against Tambourine with a broken leg, whilst Krillin got immediately killed. But could be a 'he had his guard down' situation whereas Yamcha was obviously aware. As happy as I am to see the humans get any amount of love that scene always bothered me. He had an open ...

All I'm going to say is that I've already seen more fanarts of Granolah than Moro. 'Amount of fanart' is a bad way to measure how well a character was designed. Fans are pretty stupid and rarely gravitate towards a character because he's well designed. Usually a fanartist is looking for 1) how easy...

Can you read? No. It's a burden I live with every day. If he was obviously wrong about Yamucha being stronger than Goku what the hell makes you think he’s an accurate source when it comes to Yamucha being stronger than Kuririn? Because of the scenes before and during the lot drawing. Goku was actin...

The 22nd tournament well Tenshinhan assuming Yamcha was the strongest student of the Turtle school was supposed to be ironic because we all know it was Son Goku. Using him as some sort of reliable info that Yamcha was stronger than Kuririn is laughable, if anything it indicates the exact opposite i...

Yamcha probably had Krillin beat before the 21st Budokai. Hard to imagine the cocky kid that shows up on Roshi's Island being willing to fight Oozaru kid Goku. If I had to guess I'd say it was probably Roshi's training that started to seperate the two. Yamcha's attention was always split between Bul...

Drag-on Ball didn't start with the movies. Neither did 'Goku is a bad dad.' The series alone is more than enough to support the worst fandom memes

I would bin it and just let Toriyama do comedy ala 18 vs Mr Satan until his batteries were recharged. But if I absolutely had to rewrite it I'd drag out the superhero stuff, using it as a launching board for the introduction of Spopovich. The way Babidi's minions gather power has a lot of potential ...

Piccolo will always show up to save Gohan. Not only will Piccolo materialize out of the ether to save Gohan sometimes he'll also materialize a spaceship to help him get where he needs to go! I actually have a softspot for the Buu era movies because of their willingness to mock the Namek and Cell er...

Another shonen that, imo, is better written than Dragon Ball is Ashita no Joe. It follows the boxing career of Joe Yabuki, a delinquet who discovered he had a talent for boxing while in prison. Now, it's... a bit melodramatic but the stakes manage to stay concrete enough that the characters are alwa...

Still talking about the concept, Toriyama describes the choice for the blue hair color as a way of expressing that by overcoming a certain limit, Goku had become both strong and tranquil, able to keep his composure in a fight. And considering the nature of the Super Saiyan God (pure heart), it fits...

Are you saying that he will also become a lazy asshole who destroys entire worlds for petty reasons? Oh wait, he already is. At least the first part. Goku is not lazy, nor an asshole, nor is willing to directly destroy a world by himself. Your entire post is 100% wrong, from beginning to end. Congr...

Oh god, it's Kunzait! I loved your wuxia thread! The stuff about wuxia films being in theaters alongside shock horror and late 70s slasher flics made so many things about older hippies make sense. But there is a MASSIVE difference between a genre category, and a milestone work who's cultural and eco...

I think it depends on whether they count as other Cells or if they're closer to whatever Piccolo's children were. Namekian fusion was never explained (afaik) but I figure there has to be somekind of provision that would have prevented Tambourine from fusing with Cymbal.

Anyways my point is just because a bunch of series are part of one genre doesn’t mean that is the only genre they can be part of or they all have to be exactly the same. Take the common Hollywood genre like the Westerns you had Western comedies, Western musicals, Western Noirs, Sci-Fi Westerns. Whe...

Nothing to do with anything but since Devilman was brought up Loved the modern adaptation. Wish I could say the same for Cutie Honey Universe. Guess some of Nagai's stuff is easier to update than others. Not really. The "Kung Fu" genre is different than the pirate, ninja, superhero, etc. g...

Jesus Christ, I love that this site isn’t full of boar head homophobes, you get posts like these in other forums like Reddit and people start spewing “get that gay shit out of here”. I was actually testing the waters with these posts. I was noticing too much women. Had to diversify it with some thi...

I'm not saying you can't criticize anything. I've engaged in it and if you go to the Super re-read threads, other users who I'm going to assume share similar mindsets to mine also do the same. I'm saying criticism isn't done necessarily via overall comparisons with other works of art, that's not pr...

What insightful posts! For my own part I would just like to remind the Goku fanboys that "theat appears, hero faces threat" is the long and short of just about any series with combat in it. What ends up making those stories worthwhile is what happens between the arrival and resolution of t...

Shonen's not a genre. Yeah, it's a target demographic. We can grade the technical aspects of art, but that's not necessarily what's being asked here. "Writing" is a nebulous term. What writing? Plotting, character writing, scenario writing, humor, dialogue, language? I'm not trying to bre...

It's been 30 odd years since Raditz debuted. He was a starter boss who the real big bads thought of as a joke. But he had so much damn sex appeal we're still getting suggestive fanart of the guy in 2021. I love it lol Goku Black hotter fight me Sure but Goku Black is a specific kind of hot. He's in...
