Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 105 - GT 16-20 (CURRENT WEEK)

Gero's tech allowed some decent fights against kid Goku, yet Tsufuru's tech allowed those tiny people to fight back the saiyan race, not just one weak child, and got creamed of course by several giant apes. So, if Gero could end up with cyborgs stronger than SS, the tsufuru could also end up with m...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 105 - GT 16-20 (CURRENT WEEK)

We've been down this road - how were the cyborgs stronger than Freeza? They were clones of Goku and the others. Gero was able to replicate their abilities and calculate any potential increases in power. That goes for 17 and 18 as well as 19 and 20. The twins also had the additional advantage of inf...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 105 - GT 16-20 (CURRENT WEEK)

Comparison & homages are filled to brim in dbgt & dbs (more so in manga) such as comedy ala Db & fights ala DBZ The fact they're unable to stand on their own merits & had to resort to such pathetic attempts only further solidifies their inability to come up with decent narration, vil...

Re: Is censorship still needed to keep Dragon Ball Relevant to younger people?

Street Fighter and Tekken were said to be influenced by Dragon Ball... or at least it's concept of ki. Dragon Ball’s concept of ki isn’t unique though And thats the beauty of it. Toriyama doesnt treat or explore abt chi/ki for 5-10 chapters explainin various aspects/form ala Nen in HXH or Justsu in...

Re: Do you think that Toriyama took inspiration from psychoanalysis concepts?

Those concepts being id , ego and superego ? Id is oneself, the "it" of a person, or his instincts more closely resembling the term used in DBS. For example, somebody has a sexual drive that he might express through his behaviour, or hide due to his conscious decision to manipulate the ot...

Its pretty common trend nowadays to jump into popular bandwagon, that bein said: DBS 2-3 years back & everyone was talkin abt it. UI, Jiren, then dbs Broly whatnot. Even for a country that doesnt have Blu-Ray edition of sorts, there are lots of DBS related toys/merchandise, games, posters, T-shi...

Re: Is censorship still needed to keep Dragon Ball Relevant to younger people?

The sexual humor in early Dragon Ball was widely seen as inappropriate for kids back in 2001, and if anything, it’s even more inappropriate now. As for whether the rest of the series would need to be censored, I don’t know, maybe not? There are some gruesome moments, but the series isn’t a straight...

Re: Is censorship still needed to keep Dragon Ball Relevant to younger people?

There’s also a big difference between Toei editing it’s own material and pretending it was always this way and Funimation (or any dubbing company)editing a show to get it on tv or slapping “edited version” on a vhs/dvd release to sell it to the sheltered grade school market. . The former is revisio...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

About Pan beating Goten in DBZ 28th Martial Art Tournament Filler. This battle should have been impossible since both the manga and anime has Goten fighting Buu first, which we see Goten isn't happy he has to fight Buu. This indicates that Goten is weaker than Buu. If Goten lose to Buu, how did he ...

Re: Is censorship still needed to keep Dragon Ball Relevant to younger people?

Are the younger generations still so much into Dragon Ball though? Or more like our generations trying to shove it down their throats?

Re: About AB's remastering process of their upcoming DB release on BD

What do you mean by "most releases over there for the most part"? Elaborate. Ok, i mean to say that quite a few releases of the series on Blu-ray in Europe use the Dragon Box masters (upscaled or no but mostly the former) and not true HD masters transferred from film. The Dragon Boxes are...
