Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

Numerous times throughout the show his stamina is affected by his younger body. One of which is his inability to teleport. Being a roadblock is not pointless. That's sound fundamental storytelling. Needless to say, I disagree with that last paragraph entirely. It feels completely like Toriyama had ...

Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

How was it a half commitment? this feels less of a case of them not committing to an idea and them not going with how YOU thought it should've been done. It's just meant as a gag. Goku is a man old enough to be a grandfather but he's in the body of a young boy. And now he's going on an adventure wi...

Re: If Cooler becomes canon, where has he been this whole time?

He could be in charge of their home planet since the passing of both Frieza and King Cold. They left, never came back. He would be natural heir to the throne.

Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

What do you mean by "all over the place"? I mean GT is particularly messy even by Dragonball standards. I think he means about how GT was unable to pick a lane of returning to DB's roots or continuing high-pressure action. Like turning Goku into a kid, but keeping SSJ and all of his power...

Boo saga was fun, wacky, and felt refreshing after the self seriousness of the Cell saga while GT felt all over the place. Plus, Super Saiyan 3>>>Super Saiyan 4 What do you mean by "all over the place"? I mean GT is particularly messy even by Dragonball standards. I think he means about h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Coming 2022?

I'd love a remake of the Gokuu Black arc. I just get the feeling that this won't happen. :( It would feel rather strange. Especially seeing as they never remade the Universe 6 tournament as a movie. If so then I could see that happen as if to continue the films Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. Ho...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Coming 2022?

I kinda hope the movie might just end the series at this point. By 2022 we will be nearing the completion of the Granolah arc or hell maybe even done it. I am kind of tired of the 10-year time gap being filled. Unless the series shifts focus to stories post end of Z or something It might take a bit ...

Re: I think it’s about HIGH TIME to get out of Universe 7 once this Arc ends

Who says they might not visit Universe 6 in this arc. Doubt it, but honestly this arc could go to a lot of different areas. Who says that Granolah interacting with Sadala won't happen or something like that. Again huuuuuuuge doubt but maybe at some point in the arc.

Pretty sure it's stated they age, just slower. I could be wrong

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Ginyu Tokusentai is an overrated song, and I think the only major reason why it's so popular is because of TFS. I mean, it's definitely a good song, but it cannot compete with songs like Solid State Scouter or Aitsu wa Son Goku IMHO. I don't think many people enjoy that song the same way as other g...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I feel like that might be too clean for this first encounter. Unless this arc is a short one I feel they are going to continue having the two parties be blind to who is the true threat That might be true, but I'd be dissapointed if they're unable to figure it out. Even against Broly, who seemed far...

Re: Which Part Of Dragon Ball Is BETTER: The Majin Buu Saga OR The Entirety Of Dragon Ball GT?

The Buu arc and its not close. Buu arc is not as bad as people say it is and offers so much well-done execution that people completely ignore. GT has phenomenal concepts but done poorly. GT's best saga is the Baby saga and it still can't compete with the Buu saga.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I think Goku and Vegeta will figure out that Granolah's not the villain, but Granolah, similar to Broly, will be blinded by rage. Goku and Vegeta will slowly overwhelm Granolah, and Granolah will finally see that they're not his enemies. That's my guess. I feel like that might be too clean for this...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Introducing a set of just two dragon balls without any kind of cooldown, with a dragon that can tweak stuff to make fodder into the strongest in the universe (I wonder if Shenron could do the same), and having more people know about them, implies they will be abused. Otherwise, regular or even diff...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 4/26/21!)

Video was good and I agree with a lot of the points made, but one thing I will say I always thought the reason Goku never used SSJ3 against Vegeta, aside from sparing his pride, is that transforming into it releases so much energy that it probably would have wakened Majin Buu by itself.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 4/26/21!)

Super Saiyan 3 is one of the biggest narrative misfires Toriyama has ever come up with and really represents how Toriyama was creatively running on fumes in Majin Boo and was just introducing new transformations to pad out the plot. I've gone into great detail about this in the past: I have always ...
