Re: Tarble
Wow, I didn't know his character design in the manga differs so much from the jump special (have only seen the special) The anime takes a more recent Toriyama like approach in drawing style. He DOES draw people with small bodies and huge headslately , and I'm not really likeing that. I mean he looks...

Re: Are Piccolo's battle smarts overrated?
I can't really remember anythin like that but I'm not gonna contradict you. The only think I recall is him being impressed with the power Gohan occasionally released when angered but nothing to Kuririn. But then again the only praise comming from Vegeta that really stands out is the one he gives to ...

Re: Dragonball Movie:Path to Power Character Desing for Goku
I think it depends mostly with what you get used to. Bulma's hair was supposed to be purple but personally I prefer blue, probably because it's how I got see most of the time.
Other than that, the desing is okay. Yet I still think GT looks bad.

Re: Dragon Ball SD: Good or Bad?
But they're trying to cater towards a "new" generation of the Dragon Ball audience, you're unimportant in this fact. The franchise has already got you as a fan and doesn't need to get you hooked on it again but, children who are too young to be completely or even at all exposed to the ser...

Re: Are Piccolo's battle smarts overrated?
Tbh, everyone at some point was praised by someone else in the story regarding their power, intelligence, intution and so on. Goku to Tenshinhan Vegeta to Piccolo Piccolo to Vegeta Everybody to Goku ( a lot ) Goku often praises his enemies.... Personally I always thought Vegeta stands out more due t...

Re: Who exactly is Piccolo Jr. to Piccolo Daimao?
I agree with the idea that it might be a warrior type namekian thing (but mostly just toriyama who needed Piccolo to be an adult at that point ) but still that doesn't mean he ages faster. It's just those three years that were fast-forwarded. Personally I'm in two minds about the canoncity of DBo si...

Re: Who exactly is Piccolo Jr. to Piccolo Daimao?
I'm pretty sure "I'm getting to old for this" is a dub thing. I've never heard him say that in the japanese version or in the manga. He doesn't age faster than namekians , he artificially sped up his child phase to get to adulthood faster for his fight against Goku. After that he doesn't c...

It was .....cute. But like Gaffer Tape , my expectations were a little higher, even though I knew it wouldn't be anything spectacular. I mean I know this was meant for little kids,but still.... I don't really understand this "for little kids" approach they're taking for the DB franchise. I...

Re: Are Piccolo's battle smarts overrated?
Thanks for reminding me why I hate the Buu arc so much..... Well he does trick Buu into taking the longest way to the ROSAT so that the kids might have a few more hours. And Gohan notes that Buu got smarter after he absorbed Piccolo. But other than that....yeah , the Buu Saga didn't exactly show his...

Re: Who exactly is Piccolo Jr. to Piccolo Daimao?
I stick to my theory, I'm quite convinced that Piccolo Sr and Piccolo Jr. ARE not the same person. I explained in my first post what I believe the are BOTH "Piccolo", but different people. Jr. contains the essence of the old Piccolo and therefore inherited the role of "the Evil side o...

Re: Who exactly is Piccolo Jr. to Piccolo Daimao?
They are NOT one and the same person, that's for sure. You can say the name "Piccolo" is alomst like a title or a function in that respect, meaning it symbolizes the evil side of Kami which both Piccolos represented. I think I've also heard the word "bunshin" used in the original...

Re: Plotholes in the manga?
Trunks could be misinformed by Gohan, who could have thought #17 & #18's actual names were #19 & #20. It's not a plothole, since there are so many ways to explain it. That doesn't really work. After rejoining everyone and telling them they weren't fighting the right Androids, Trunks describ...

Re: Most popular character?
It's nice to see that Piccolo's position is constant. Considering that the saiyans pretty much took over the show and he became more of a side-line charcter later on that's pretty impressive. Well on the other hand, he IS one of the most symbolic characters of the DB universe. Though I'm surprised t...

Re: Goku VS Vegeta(Unarmed Martial arts with no Saiyan powers)
Personally, I believe Goku is the better fighter of the two by far. First of all Vegeta never struck me as a martial artist, most of his fights seem to fall back to big energy blasts. It's been pointed out several times in the show that Goku is a genious when it comes to fighting and Vegeta has neve...

Re: Episode #0240 (28 November 2010)
Enjoyed the episode. But there was one thing though that I didn't quite agree with and that was: Piccolo not having cared about the tournament itself , when he entered it to kill Goku . Now, I agree that killing Goku WAS his main objective but if that was all that he had been interested in, why choo...

Well I finished reading it . It was cute.
Like most, I found the art to okay , not great but not bad either. We just have to keep in mind that this is aimed at little kids.
