Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

My bad, apologies for not reading it then. I'll be sure to look over the trivia stuff going forward, seems like you put a lot of work into it! This week is our biggest yet because we also covered everything that happened in the gap between the end of the manga and the debut of GT, especially regard...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

Incidentally, I've been watching some Dr. Slump recently, and it occurs to me that this scenario is extremely similar to Episode 6b of that series, "Arale is Kidnapped!" . I wonder if it's an intentional reference/recycling, or if it's just a coincidence. Considering they also reused the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

Also yeah, what's up with the logo? Did Future Gohan or Cyborg Tao draw it? It's a slight edit of Toriyama's original draft drawing of GT's logo. KBABZ and I thought it would be fun to go with the sketch version for the first GT week. Here's what the original looked like: https://www.kanzenshuu.com...

So where does 5 years come from then??

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

I actually quite like what Blue Water did with the theme taking the instrumental of the Japanese theme and creating a song with entirely different lyrics to fit in with a more western style of cartoon theme songs, not unlike what Harmony Gold attempted actually. The more faithful Funimation opening...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 102 - GT 1-5 (CURRENT WEEK)

I know it's like frowned upon to like the first 15 episodes, but I really enjoy the grand touring. The new planets and characters, the new environments, DB never went so much out of their confort zone, the grimmer look. I like them too. Personally I think the problem with GT's original concept is t...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

TOEI mightn't have forgot, but it's possible Toriyama did. Even though Toriyama didn't write GT he has said he was given the freedom to check TOEI's stories and offer his advice so it's not out of the question despite not writing the stories Toriyama still had a lot of influence in GT. The fact tha...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

Thanks a lot, so I have a pretty old copy lol Not really. Most versions of Dragon Ball will be presented that way, and when you have 42 volumes to print, it's a no-brainer. The ViZ Bigs and Kanzenban are really the only two options available to get the original inks, everything else is black and wh...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

This might be off-topic, so I apologize in advance, but it also might be on-topic, since it's a thread about the DB manga and anime, maybe I can get an answer? Here goes, the manga that I own (and old one) has some chapters with darker pages, like they were coloured and look like prints. Most pages...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

Also, the cover page of the last chapter, also coming from Toriyama gives it actually a color scheme that we see in Z, though being darker with acrylics. https://www.kanzenshuu.com/guides/manga/chp/titles/lg/519.png I see that as a dark green on both personally. The final chapter was in limited col...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

I gotta say, I hate the original colours of EoZ Goku. Are you referring to the anime's cyan shirt or the manga's green shirt? The green shirt, I can't stand the combination he got in the manga. Agreed. It was probably done to help the transition to GT a bit, but it's abjectly inaccurate to the manga.

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 101 - DBZ movie 13, episodes 289-291 (CURRENT WEEK)

Has the Path to Power movie already been covered earlier, or is it going to be included with GT? Just wondering. It'll be covered in GT. It's the one I'm looking forward to the most, to the point that I'll watch it multiple times: once in Japanese and again in English. Speaking of which, the reason...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 100 - DBZ 284-288 (CURRENT WEEK)

I think the party episode would have worked a lot better had it focused a bit more on reminiscing and reflecting how far Goku had come, rather than on the contrived and frustrating pterosaur egg plot. As it is, it's really only worth it for Goku thinking back on when Grandpa Gohan found him, and tha...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 99 - DBZ 279-283 (CURRENT WEEK)

Both Kaioshin dismiss Mr. Satan and say that losing him isn't a great loss. Considering Mr. Satan is the reason Boo is defeated, this goes to show how "wise" the two are. Toriyama seems to enjoy showing how out-of-touch the "higher-ups" are throughout the Boo arc. From Supreme K...

Nah, I mean it's incredibly boring and awkward, so I can understand.
I watched once when I saw TFC for the first time. That's enough.

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 99 - DBZ 279-283 (CURRENT WEEK)

This is the approach Super seems to have run with, and it's why (for all its faults) I've never had an issue with Vegeta still wanting to be stronger than Goku there. His entire approach and mindset is different now. GT went with the idea that Vegeta forever conceded to Goku being #1, which I think...

It's interesting because at one point Toriyama might have considered having Vegeta give up his passion for defeating Goku. -snip- I do like your idea of a pecking order though because this is a series about warriors who want to constantly improve so realizing there are some stronger and some weaker...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 99 - DBZ 279-283 (CURRENT WEEK)

I've heard fans try argue that Vegeta acknowledging Goku was better than him is a dub change. It is only a dub change insofar as it was only until Kai onwards that Vegeta's line was written from the perspective of him wishing Goku luck. Overall the main point is the same across all versions. Vegeta...
