Kanzenshuu

A joke in the Saiyan Arc? Easy, King Kai gets plenty of laughs due to how amazingly un-funny he is. Not to mention Goku's winning joke of (at least in Kai) "I sold my car... FOR GAS MONEY!!". IMO Dragon Ball gets extremely close to Z in its final third. For me it first shows up when Goku c...

I'd love for them to do that. The original is already well paced (133 canon episodes) so it's not a must like Z where some parts were unwatchable (Namek) but it'd still be great to get an even closer version to the manga with a new accurate dub. To be honest I found the original dub to be mostly ac...

Going by DB and Z (I have no familiarity with Super), Goku kinda gets himself killed a lot, which tends to impact one's ability to spend time with their family. As mentioned earlier, we have several timeskips of non-action moments where Goku would logically be spending more time with them, like the ...

Super seems very much like it's taking up the time of both Toei and by association Funimation, so I highly doubt it, especially with Dragon Ball being the least popular portion of the series next to GT (only from a marketing standpoint, at least GT looks like Z). IMO it'd be more likely for Toei to...

For me, any new story or arc needs to justify itself from a story perspective as to why it exists. For Shonen that tends to be "OMG a more powerful opponent!", but I felt that the Saiyan and Namek arcs of Z did a pretty good job of doing that. We get to learn more about Goku and his race, ...

Awesome, nice work!

And about Cell, how would he know that #17 & #18 are gone? Remember, he only found the androids because he sensed Piccolo and presumed he was with them. Personally I think that he'd look for them at Dr. Gero's lab first. Deprived of them, he'll fall back on absorbing the human populace and the ...

A browse through Daizenshuu 1 didn't turn up anything. That suggests that it was done after the manga concluded, but the art style suggests it was done around about the Namek saga, so that doesn't make sense!

I always figured that Goten and Trunks being stronger than normal was the mix of Saiyan and Human blood, although I don't think that was actually confirmed anywhere.

From a retrospective sense then it would be overpowered. but if Toriyama had used SSB over SS3 then it wouldn't be any more powerful due to the Shonen-style power algorithm of things when they get introduced.

Could be, although personally I always saw it as Goku inspiring those around him as they saw him pushing past his limits. It happens a fair bit in OG DB where Yamcha, Krillin and Tien feel that they can keep up with Goku, and it occurs a few times in Z as well where they are encouraged to train beca...

On Namek, I felt that it was also used to give Goku a sort of "ohmaikaio he's SO STRONG he's spiritually on another level!" sort of feel. And yeah, storytelling convenience. On the Trunks moment, as a reader I vastly prefer hearing about Trunks' story and why he's there "manually"...

To be perfectly frank there isn't really that much godly about anyone with that title outside of the title itself and the duties associated with it. Kami, the first God in the series that we see, pretty much does nothing but stand at the edge of his lookout stressing himself to death, and guys like ...

I hope they do well enough to cover everything. I have Saiyan and Frieza in Full Colour and they are amazing. The colours add so much depth and life to the drawings and can even make things like wide shots with a lot of destruction in them have a better read to them so you can better appreciate what...

It's understandable that Roshi would take 50 years to create the move; isn't it that Ki attacks didn't really come into vogue until the DB era? If that's the case then no wonder it took so long. With so many people around her using Ki attacks, I imagine Videl would pick it up pretty quickly... https...

Maybe Videl realizes that, against the foes she would face, a Kamehameha would be seriously overpowered, while against the foes Gohan faces, it would be laughably ineffective. It's a shame really because I much prefer Videl the Fighter from early Buu rather than Videl the Mother from later. I kinda ...

Agreed, from Japanese point of view it's a degradation of the product and them reusing old footage makes Kai look like a cheap Cash grab. Which is why I think Funimation's name of Dragon Ball Z Kai makes more sense, as it's much clearer that it's an edit of the old show rather than "OMG YOU GU...

Sure, but it'd take 50 years for her to master! (apparently)

The 2008 JSAT Special is how they should have animated DB Kai. Well the thing is that Kai is not a "new" show, despite having new intros and stuff. It's actually an edit of an existing show, and IMO treating Kai as being a different series on the level of Transformers G1 vs Animated is mi...
