Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

About the roster, people tend to forget that Raging Blast 1 and 2 were actually Budokai Tenkaichi games on then current gen (PS3/360). BT3 had roster of reportedly around 98 characters, while RB2 sported a Z only roster with some never before seen characters at 66. There was never bigger roster than...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

I'd love to see some gameplay, but I guess we can count on that probably near the end of or next year.
The game is probably coming out next year right?

Re: Aren't they worrying the original Japanese cast are not going to be with us forever?

I can understand that to westerners, the practice of using the same actors across all media seems all the more conservative in comparison with western productions, where you have different actors in live action, in dubbed material and in video games. But I remember the situation when the actor of Mr...

Re: Racism in the Dragon Ball fandom

You can actually report toxic behavior or speak with the person directly through personal messages.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

And this is speculation, but I could see Kid Buu holding his own against Jiren. Still, Jiren is a beast, but Buu's power/stamina is unlimited and taking in account his magical cappabilities... you can probably only trick him into being off-guard and smash him with huge ki blast (like Genkidama) to g...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

While I agree that Super kinda complicates things in case of expanding the EOZ, I think that small kid with power of Kid Buu is still impressive, even with the likes of Jiren or Broly.

Re: New Sand Land project announced

I wonder why they choose to adapt 23 year old manga? I'm surprise it didn't came out in the early 2000s. Yeah, I have no idea myself, but I am happy that they did! I wonder how will the movie fare with the audience tho, because yeah, the manga is fun, we know the story. But will it be enough to pul...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The idea of Gohan being main protagonist, well that's thanks to the beginning of the Buu arc... We Gotta Power opening is pretty straightforward about it, but I can agree with others, that as Toriyama found that Gohan doesn't work, it is weird to force him into the latest movie with drastic power-up...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

I am also opting for the End of Z arc and this is deduction based on what we've got... BOG and ROF segments are basically adapting the Z movies, but with the Kakarot twist, as BOG is pretty much just barebones and friendly interaction with Beerus, without danger to the earth from the movie and ROF i...

Re: "Dragon Ball Legends" Official Discussion Thread

Basically, the rule is, what is not in animated form – series or movie – doesn't get adapted into games, period. The manga will have to get adapted first for the stories and characters to appear in any Dragon Ball game. Got back into Legends after more than a year, yet for another anniversary (by co...

I wonder what is going on with the latest DLC. No news, no announcement date, nothing. It was teased all the way back in January and almost half a year later, nothing. Screenshots and article was already shown in V-Jump past month and I've got my hopes up to play it before summer holidays, but total...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I would refrain from comparing Broly to Super Hero by the profit alone, because we all know that the numbers went down in cinemas all around the world after Covid. People are more used to stay at home and I am not 100% sure about now, but all the movies last year performed worse than expected. In Ja...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

Deep down, people don't want the lore to be explored. When it does it's almost always disappointing. Most of the time, just hinting at things or making reference to something is way better. I feel like people get that on a subconscious level. Not sure if everyone, but I don’t really need anything m...
