Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

It's just Super Saiyan with more muscles. It's not a transformation till the hair looks drastically different or changes color.

Re: Should the Super manga and anime divert into completely different stories now?

So if the new movie in 2022 does something that completely contradicts the manga (since it'll likely take place right after the TOP and not acknowledge anything from Moro onward), is it safe to say the anime will be its own thing? Like we already know the anime is getting an extra story the manga is...

Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

No the others are visually distinctive. We have God and Blue which is red hair and blue hair respectively, and two forms of Ultra Instinct where Goku now gets silver hair. Visually distinct transformations are marketed to sell toys and videogames and are a big deal. Super Saiyan 1 was pushed to diff...

Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

Well the monkey forms are pretty different since you need a moon and only a few characters use them, and Vegeta never used the monkey transformation again after the Saiyan arc. Also the other forms of Super Saiyan are still just powered up versions of the same transformation which is why I don't rea...

Re: Has the franchise become too reliant on transformations?

Let's put it this way, over the entire span of DBZ we only had 3 Super Saiyan forms, and Super Saiyan 2 was just a powered up version of the first one. Since Super started we've had: Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Blue Ultra Instinct Ultra Instinct Silver hair Vegeta Super Saiyan Blue evolved Vegeta ...

Re: Anyone else find the RRA arc hard to rewatch?

One interesting thing about the saga is just how poor all the humans are. It seems outside of west city all the humans in the Dragonball world live in poverty like it's the early 1900's or something.

The rule of thumb is anything you don't like isn't canon.

Re: Reconsidering Jackie Chan as Goku

Prime Jackie Chan was late 70's or early 80's, and that's before Dragon Ball was created in 1986. Even if it's hypothetical, seems odd to choose an actor who wasn't at the right age even aside from the fact that Goku starts off as a kid.

Re: Where Dragon Ball should have ended?

The problem is Cell is pretty limited lore wise since he was created by a human on Earth, and other than him having cells of Freeza and Saiyans, he's nothing too important in the grand scheme of things. Supreme Kai didn't care about him and he was a blip on the radar compared to Freeza and Boo. Havi...

He's way too old. Even if you're speaking in the 90's he would still be too old.

Re: Should the Super manga and anime divert into completely different stories now?

If the anime ever does come back, it’ll end up following the manga’s story. During the backend of the anime you could see Toei copying Toyo more and more, even going as far as to retcon their own ideas. How is that possible when the anime for the Tournament of Power ended like a year before the man...

Re: Where Dragon Ball should have ended?

I just finished watching the entirety of DBZ and honestly, it should have ended at Cell. The Buu arc is an actual joke and definitely feels like the show was losing steam. Cell wrapped everything up so nicely: Goku realizing he's better off dead to keep villains away, his son taking up the mantle o...

Re: Non-American fans of Faulconer

Do they even exist? The Latin subs kept the Japanese soundtrack and I think most of the other European/Asian dubs did the same.

Re: Which character do you think is wasted in DBS

The thing about Fat Boo's shafting that doesn't make sense is it seemed like Toriyama originally really liked him? He had a lot of fun writing him in the Boo arc when he was evil interacting with Mr. Satan, and even brought him back after Kid Boo happened when he didn't have to do that. And then kep...

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

There shouldn't be anything above a God of Destruction. Anything passed this form for Vegeta wouldn't even make sense. Same for Goku with whatever the perfected Ultra instinct is.

They now have forms of the Gods and Angels, we know there's nothing else passed this.

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

Wait is Vegeta's hair really purple or is this fan speculation?

It would definitely be a jump the shark moment if they just chose whatever hair color wasn't already represented by a Super Saiyan form.

I will say this. When SSG first was revealed, people hated it. When Golden Frieza was revealed, people hated it. When Mastered Ultra Instinct was revealed, people hated it. When Ikari Broly was revealed, People hated it. Give people enough time, they'll like it. Just gotta get over the initial shoc...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)

There's no reason to think Nappa would be brought back, outside of flashbacks like they did in the Broly movie.
