Re: How would the Dragon Ball fandom react if Jiren were made into a gay man?
Being not human, he could reproduce by sporogenesis, by the match of 5 different sexes, totally asexual or whatever his race does, and any possible variance of it to qualify as 'gay' for his specie, that could be a totally different context than human one. So, to me he doesn't qualify. There aren't ...

Re: What is your favorite location in Dragon Ball
Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A void pocket (but infinite) dimension. Mind boggling.

Re: Anime Rebranding. What will the future animes be named? Dragon Ball (??????)
If DB ever continues after the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai, one possible plot could be that Goku & Oob find their way into pocket universes(in which many events played out differently from the main universe) and they could fight past/altered threats that grew much worse in the interim as part of the...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?
Men live on top of an inferiority complex. Most of time they miss great dreams only to start an inner fight of meaning vs necessity. This can lead to violence (not always physical) bursts. Men live on top of continual sexual frustration. Men live on top of a immortality delusion: that they always ha...

Re: Evidence that [Trunks saga] Vegeta is possibly the strongest Saiyan
Everyone at first told to be better than Goku, then see what happened...
Anyway, #1 sayan is by noble heritage, Vegeta drive for his pride was about that fuss being the prince (#1 in the sayan hierarchy), so it deserve to win whatever. Not the *real* thing.

Re: Should UI Sign Improve A Fighter's Ability To Around A 50x Boost In Power?
At a given point, raw power/ki summon wasn't enough. UI bypass the old 'combat power' (scouter way) to determine 'skill boost', in the meaning of combat awareness. By RPG terms, UI is a boost in attack & defence score, not a strenght boost. I think you cannot do such kind of direct math equation...

Re: Will there ever be a Dragon Ball series with an entirely new cast of characters?
KAIZEN. While in many western countries we praise genius strokes and personal initiative, Japanese culture is more attuned to KAIZEN, that you can broadly translate as "perfection thru repetition". That 'perfection' is not strictly about quality, but 'technical improved', also in the marke...

Re: How would you rewrite Dragon Ball Super?
Never mess up with Beerus after BoG. Beerus killed the entire story. Give all characters a chance to boost up, ignoring the status quo. They should go *even*, I don't mind if Vegeta is a Sayan, let's Yamcha meet a God and learn how to fight on par with Vegeta. And have them clash. Make characters lo...

Re: Why dropping Gohan as the main protagonist was a bad move
Up to Sayan Arc, no one was aware of Goku real origins. That made for a fantasy story. Gohan is Gohan. He's the son of Goku. No arc to solve. To give him some reason to exist, you have to attach him what's called "unsolved plot points", to solve and reveal with "plot twists", and...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
I was thinking Cyborg 009, Ultraman, and a few other Japanese heroes were the inspiration for Gamma 1 and 2 but wow, I wonder if they were designed after this 1991 Disney classic instead or if he factored into the design at all. https://www.latercera.com/resizer/HInIKHrRNsq3CscfoZVVHampRc8=/arc-ang...

The target, guys, don't forget the target. The japanese "horror" meaning. And the need for hype (they cannot say "prepare for an usual default arc with nothing interesting!") They will fight a yokai, and that's all. Or a demon. And it's Toyotaro: 10% of premise, 90% of punches (m...

No, on a second thought... Is Toyotaro. The battle is not over. Is Toyotaro, he have to escalate. It *cannot* end like Moro, it must add a step more again. Moro was defeated the same way, so Gas couldn't. There should be more. There's no senzu here to abuse (as long Elec doesn't own one...) so... Th...

Re: Has the Franchise Jumped the Shark?
Sayan arc + Frieza arc made a perfect conclusion for a martial artist story, with the final "evil master" to kill and give a narrative role to Goku (the avenger of Sayan), so all of such past training had an higher moral sense. The alien setting was very original and different from default...

Bills in Italy too. I think all latin languages changed to Bills for easiness of speech. There's also a translation argument. Using the phonetical system is in fact "BEEH L {u}SS".. We don't have muted letters in latin (a japanese ear could probably perceive it by the tongue rounding), so ...
