Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?

What a waste. The original Bardock special, along with the flashbacks of Freeza knocking out King Vegeta on his ship, and destroying Bardock and his team is no longer canon? So what happened to Bardock's team? Do they no longer exist, the ones Dodoria killed? Bardock will no longer fight Freeza in ...

Re: Why are they retconning the original Bardock special? Now it's no longer canon?

The original Bardock special was no more canon than the Broly or Cooler movies lol. Aside from one panel in the manga, that's the only thing about it. And honestly, I get that it was popular with fans, but it was otherwise irrelevant from a canon perspective. Not to mention this definitively gets r...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Man, Vegeta looks ugly on this pic... Is almost like a chibi version of his adult self and for real... A child who already has baldness? The TV Special and BoG (arc) handled that much better: Baldness? Isn’t it just an exaggerated widows peak? Yup lol. I've never looked at Vegeta and thought "...

Re: By design, what is your favorite Saiyan transformation?

1. SSJ2. It's basically just SSJ but a little more heightened design wise with lightning. 2. SSJ Blue. I just like the twist on the original design and it does look like it's basically the Saiyan internalization of what would be god ki. It's very appealing to the eye and has a special look to it. 3....

Re: Which did it better, GT or Super?

The way the Shadow Dragons were handled was so sloppy. They were supposed to be the final antagonist yet half of them were killed by base Goku, most have ugly designs and all have little personality. Syn/Omega Shenron and Nova were the only ones that stood out in any way. Yeah, not to mention their...

Re: Why did Sean Schemmel seem so off in OG Dragon Ball?

I think he was just trying to channel his earlier performance because technically he was portraying a Goku closer to early Z.

Re: Which did it better, GT or Super?

I've notice over the last 2 years that GT fans/apologist are probably the most oversensitive and easily offend people in the fandom smh. Many of these same people are constantly making threads in the forum feeling the need to defend GT by bashing Super 24/7. It gets annoying really. It goes both wa...

Re: Why does it seem that Gogeta has wayy more fans than Vegito?

Gogeta is a cooler and superior combination of Goku and Vegeta's names than just adding and an "o" to the end. He's less of a comedic character in his first appearance. He has better attacks "big bang kamehameha, his finiher in the movie" He's used more sparingly.

Re: DragonBall Z Abridged

I'm really glad they still gave this season some closure for several reasons. The first being the obvious that it was a long time coming, but the second is that a lot of the side characters will get relegated to much smaller roles in the next arc. Kuriren/Yamcha/Tenshinhan are glorified cameos in th...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 8/20/18!)

I'm glad you talked about the mystery being solved immediately because I honestly never understood the people who praise the Cell arc for that aspect, when it's done so poorly. More like the lead up to Cell's reveal was pretty damn good for all that it's worth. That's not to say that keeping the my...

While I understand if this is the end of the series, now I'm really hoping they go on, just to see what they do with all the ups and downs Gohan goes through in Buu... I kinda hope they go on with the Boo arc. I know this was a difficult one for them to finish, but being totally honest there is so ...

If GT is Goku time then what is Super :lolno: hes even there when its absolutely irrelevant. Dragon Ball Super -Goku loses to Beerus -Goku kinda cheap shots Freeza when Vegeta already has him beaten (Freeza was going to blow up the planet so it was necessary, but it was really more of Vegeta won an...

Re: "GT = Goku Time" is an exaggeration.

In the original manga Goku only flat out defeated the Red Ribbon Army, Piccolo Damiao, Piccolo Jr, Freeza and I guess Boo if you want to count the Genkai Dama of the entire planet's energy. And even in those arcs only the first 3 were Goku centric from start to finish. Goku was either traveling to N...

Re: I feel that Battles between universes was going too high

To be fair, they've been the strongest in their universe (and not just in the present day, but presumably ever) since the Boo arc--that fact is a major part of that story line. Whether it's a bit much to also rush them into being the strongest beings in the multiverse , or close to it, might be ano...

Re: What’s everyone’s opinion on how the manga has so far handled the Universe Survival arc compared to the anime?

Don't act like the anime were any better. Beerus and the other Gods of Destruction spent MILLIONS of years trying to achieve this legendary technique, the Ultra Instinct, and failed, and yet somehow this random 40-yo-old Saiyan is able to master it in 30 minutes? I don't care if Goku is a prodigy. ...

That is probably the most ignorant thing anyone has ever said to me on Kanzenshuu. Come to think of it, I did watch Future Trunks kill a villain that is 1000x stronger than him by gathering energy into his sword from people on various planets. They basically combined the Genki Dama and Future Trunk...

I’ve never watched Battle of Gods, RoF or DBSuper. Only short clips. I refuse to watch/support nonsense. Short clips count as "watching". Not for a discussion, though, as it's very apparent that you're ill-informed. It’s a shame that companies these days turn classic shows (that brought t...
