STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE! STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE! COME OUT!

What the fuck? I don't even..No This is not meant to be a joke thread, this is Toriyama we are talking about, one of pretty telling things he has said about DB was - "Also, this is often misunderstood, but I’m not good with wholesome content. It may seem wholesome at first glance, but there’s ...

He's an old perv like Roshi that adopted a young boy with seemingly no ulterior motivation, and then made him sleep on his "testicle pillow", the first thing that Goku does when he recognizes him during Baba's tournament is that he jumps with his genitals straight onto Gohan's face, has Go...

Pure gags

Built around what?

Bulma and her boobs and pussy, just like it was before fighting.

You did explain, but you are incorrect in what he said. He didn't like "poisoning his audience". So what if he is treated like a hero. It's not meant as a morality tale. It's a fun martial arts show with cool memorable characters, awesome fights, humor, at many points great tension, and e...

I already said that I still like DB and DBZ as shows, regardless of what I think is wrong with them, besides I might just like to analyze things. I think I explained well enough the concept of poison in Toriyama's writing, you didn't add anything to the argument, and Goku is a poisonous character, i...

it's a story about a teenage girl getting sexually abused with everyone having fun with it What the hell? This statement among many others leads me to believe you really have no fundamental understanding about Dragon Ball. That was metaphorical, what I wanted to convey is that DB isn't some great w...

. This is neither a superhero tale or a morality tale. This is a martial arts show in the pure sense. It's a skewed code of honor, but it is the ethics that permiates the show. They may not have our code of ethics, but they do have a code. I can't speak for Super. Just because we don't agree with t...

No, unless you except good story, consistent writing, themes and proper character development from DB, but that ship has sailed long time ago, or perhaps has never been at the port to begin with. I don't think that's a fair assessment of DB. There is plenty of great writing and proper character dev...

More saiyajins?! Kakatte koi!

Are English lyrics to this song by Hironobu Kageyama available anywhere?

Using this one as an example is unfair, it appears on the screen for a very brief period of time, around 1 second, it's a well incorporated part of the choreography, not a cheap time waster. https://i.imgur.com/zyurwch.gif I could also "cheat" the same way with DB fights. https://i.imgur.c...

He apologized because he knew that Chi Chi wouldn't be happy to learn of his death. Assuming he didn't want to die on purpose, he wouldn't even know by this moment if he would make it out in time and it would be in his best interest to not waste time talking, and even if his death was somehow a nec...

I'm not so sure about that. I doubt Goku purposefully died in Cell's explosion. I do believe he had selfish reasons for going to train Uub but I doubt Goku purposefully died in Cell's explosion. After all I always thought that King Kai only filled Goku in about the warriors of the past after he die...

There are strong reasons to believe that it is the case. 1. Goku knows exactly how many seconds are there before Cell explodes, yet ends up staying around and talking, even when Cell directly says "4 seconds left" Goku still takes his sweet time. The author wouldn't draw Goku casually talk...

Gyūmaō was implied to be a mass murderer and was about to kill Bulma and Oolong before Goku came back, Bulma tried to shoot a kid she just met, Yamcha had a paunzerfaust and a machine gun, Oolong also bullied Puar in school as far as his bad actions go. Immoral actions being normalized is a "ru...

I don't see all that much difference.

I don't understand the hate it gets in the comments and votes, it's like they all forgot that it's a wholesome cartoon for little kids.

I wouldn't single out kaioken for power scaling issues, there were many others things, and super saiyan was easily worse as kaioken had big drawbacks. My problem with kaioken is that Toei put great effort into showing the effects of it at x3 with Goku's massive body and all the details showing the p...
