Re: What made you switch over to the Japanese version?

Back when Z was first airing on Toonami with the Ocean dub, they would always get to the episode when Goku's spaceship lands on Namek and he starts fighting the Ginyu Force and then reset to Episode 1 the next day. Back then there were two fairly popular fansite forums, Planet Namek and DB3K. I can'...

Re: Did 2015-2018 fly by for anyone else in terms of Super?

It really did not fly by for me. I knew Super was coming out, but did not really start watching until the Champa arc simply because I knew the first two arcs were just the movie storylines. For the Future Trunks and Tournament of Power arcs though, I've been watching pretty close to weekly when I ca...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

I still don't quite understand why everyone's giving Masters' Zamasu voice tons of praise. His voice doesn't fit the character IMO. The praise Marsters gets for Zamasu is a very weird phenomenon. Yeah he was in Evolution, which was bad and is pretty much universally loathed by the community, so I u...

Re: Super Episode 131 (25 March 2018)

I think you mean Freeza Saga 3.0. ROF was basically Supers version of the original saga, style over substance and plot with Freeza the main villain. I do think we will see more of Freeza because its a situation like the Pilaf gang. Toriyama likes the VAs and are friendly with them so he wants to ke...

Re: Super Episode 131 (25 March 2018)

I just think they should've made a more "risky" ending, with everlasting consequences. This was just way too safe to leave an impact, and i'm of the opinion that wishing all universes back made the entire plot completely superfluous. Frieza getting revived was a cool touch, but the way th...

Re: Super Episode 131 (25 March 2018)

I'm glad Super has ended for now. For all its flaws, it really showed that Dragon Ball is a story people still care a lot about. The Zamasu arc and TOP arc were decent enough and I would like to see more, but I would prefer it be planned a little better. Most of Super's problems would be fixed with ...

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

Good chapter. I really like that the matchups and eliminations are happening differently than the anime. I expect it to start matching up with the anime more once Ultra Instinct Omen appears but there are a lot of power scaling issues to fix in the TOP story so hopefully Goku and Vegeta won't need t...

Re: Jiren should have been erased

He might have been erased for doing that had Goku not stopped it and it killed all the mortals on the bench, but since Goku stopped it and the fact that there were no reaction scenes with the Zenos last episode means they probably were on the edge of their seats watching the fight (you know like we ...

Re: Regardless of quality, Are you going to miss Super?

Yes I'm going to miss Super, but I don't think the show taking a break is a bad thing. Super has had it's share of issues but they delivered a pretty decent arc with the Tournament of Power. I wish the previous arcs had the detail that this arc has, some episodes in the first half of Super don't rea...

Re: Would Freeza becoming a good guy be considered good writing or bad?

Since the spoilers for 131 came out that said Freeza would appear after Goku went down, I've had this weird feeling he's going to get the wish and use it to have Planet Vegeta wished back. This would be all in the name of playing the "long game", because this sets up two future arcs: one w...

Re: Super Episode 130 (18 March 2018)

I'm a little bummed that 17's death is now a fakeout death. That was a cool moment and it could be easily fixed with the dragon balls. We were all expecting Freeza so it wasn't a surprise to see him there at the end too. The part when Krillin explains how they were all friends because of Goku got me...

Re: Appreciation: I've surprisingly really enjoyed the U.S arc!

I've enjoyed this arc a lot too. I think a lot of people have too high expectations for this show. You have to keep in mind this show is not completely created by Toriyama the way DB+Z story was, which explains a lot of the poorly written moments the show has. I think there's a lot of potential for ...

Re: What do you think about F Trunks not sticking around?

I think it's Future Trunks's destiny to not become a part of the main Z timeline. His presence in the story is only because the situation in the future has forced him to time travel as a last resort. His goal is always to go home, and his character grows through interacting with people who do not ex...

Jiren powers up to his full power and hits UI Omen Goku with an attack so strong it triggers Goku's Mastered UI transformation. Mastered UI Goku is stronger than Full Power Jiren, but only by a little bit (think SS Goku vs Ful...

Re: Why do YOU personally watch Super?

I watch it because it's a pretty enjoyable experience. You have to remember, practically all of the English-speaking Dragon Ball fanbase that existed before Kai came out never got to experience watching a Dragon Ball TV show as it aired. So it's kind of like a dream come true that I can watch Super ...

Re: It blows my mind how irrelevant Trunks/Goten were for all 131 Super episodes

I think it works really well actually. Once it gets to EOZ, they both aren't fighting anymore and get forced into the tournament by their fathers. They were really only needed in Z as a stopgap between Vegeta dying and Gohan coming back from the Kaisoshin world anyway. Fusion was just a gimmick to m...

I really hope 17 gets wished back after going out like that. After all the times the ToP has passed on actually killing someone off, they follow through with 17. He had some really great moments in this tournament.

This might not be a popular opinion but I thought this was a good episode for Gohan.

I've always been a #17 fan. Loved his character design during the Cell Saga and always thought it sucked that he was the first to go when Cell started his quest to achieve his perfect form. I wasn't sure bringing him back to the cast would be such a hit but they've done really well with him. All of ...
