Re: Other series like DBZ Kai?

Sailor Moon Crystal is a redone cut down version of Sailor Moon, that's the obvious one off the top of my head.

I'm sure there's plenty of fanmade "Kai" versions of the real popular shonen shows.

Re: Why didn't anyone make sure Son Gohan kept training?

I think Vegeta's probably the only one who actually expected someone stronger than Cell to pop up. Freeza was (as far as we knew) one of the strongest people in space, and Cell was created using the Saiyans/humans/Freeza. The only other known threat was Beerus and Vegeta probably assumed Beerus was ...

Re: Does Dragon Ball Super need an anthology saga?

I'd prefer if the manga found a way to bring the side characters into the new arcs again, but there's plenty of stuff an anthology series could cover. A Hit side-story Goku and Vegeta mentor the U6 Saiyans The story of Tenshinhan's people The Warriors of New Namek, maybe Piccolo visits Jiren post-TO...

Re: Could a prequel game work? Idea thread.

I think the idea of an action RPG taking place during Planet Vegeta's peak is a really cool idea, to the point that I'm surprised they haven't done it yet. I guess because it would actually require a lot of work and planning whereas a lot of DB games are just kinda churned out. But if it used an upd...

Re: Can't get into Kai

Dub or sub? I feel like the dub is much better than Z's. Because of the recasts/added VA experience, but especially because of the fixed translation, whereas the Z dub would just make shit up sometimes. There's moments where the Z dub is more raw and intense but I think the pros of Kai's dub outweig...

Re: Was Goku presented as a prodigy prior to Z?

I mean the first time we're introduced to Goku he's shown getting shot in the face and being unscathed by it, plus he has a tail and can turn into a giant ape. I don't know if readers viewed him as a "human prodigy" or as an alien, but there was definitely something up with him.

Re: What if dragon ball was a comic book series?

The main difference would be the introduction of inconsistency. American comic books are (in?)famous for constantly changing writers and artists really often. That's mostly with Marvel and DC. A lot of other comic book companies do have titles share by the same author and artist from day one. Spawn...

Re: Thoughts on a potential Netflix series.

I'd prefer it be a movie so they have the money to nail the visuals. That's one of the biggest issues I've noticed with these live-action anime things, is that regardless of the plot, they tend to just look bad. But I guess that's more an issue of having a talented costume designer than it is an iss...

Re: What are everyone's thoughts on the newly released Dragon Ball Blu-rays?

From what I've seen it's probably the best quality the show's ever been in, although it is just an upscale of the DVDs so it's not amazing or anything.

Re: What Would It Take For Krillin, Tien, Piccolo, and Yamcha to Catch up to Goku and Vegeta in a Satisfying Way?

I like this question. It's a good exercise in writing. An obvious way is to give them powerful new techniques. Chaozu's psychic abilities have never been expanded on. Krillin and Piccolo as the tacticians of the group can come up with new interesting techniques. Tien can become much more powerful by...

Re: What characters do you think are underutilized?

Goten and Trunks. Child prodigies that became Super Saiyans really early, but in Super are relegated to being comic relief/plot devices and they're not particularly great at being the former. The Kid Trunks/Mai relationship is easily the worst story aspect of Super, since she's a grown woman, just ...

A 4kUHD release is probably the next time Funi will rerelease the show, aside from maybe a general release of the 4:3 Collector BD.

Re: Is It Time For A Gohan/Piccolo Fusion?

A Piccolo/Gohan fusion would be awesome. Gohan's closer in power to Piccolo than he is to Goku/Vegeta, so if those 2 keep fighting side by side like they did in the TOP, maybe it'll happen.

I dislike the Piccolo assimilates Gohan idea. He's got a family to raise.

Played a couple hours today. It's really fun! I never thought I'd play a DBZ game where I get my ass whooped by Raditz so that's something new.

Re: How did Gohan get that much weaker between Z and Super?

Two factors. First, this first form Freeza is probably much much more powerful than DBZ First Form Freeza. Multiple times stronger. Second, we are probably to assume that Gohan hasn't trained at all since the Buu Saga. When you don't use your muscles, they weaken. So Gohan just isn't the badass he w...

Re: Is there a reason for why the DBS Manga can’t become weekly?

He may be a younger guy, but drawing a manga weekly is an incredibly heavy schedule, with very little free-time and the quality of an artist's work might even decrease due to the increased pagecount. The workload is so heavy that it's actually kinda common for artists to get sick from overwork. Ther...

Re: How would you compare Dragon Ball’s revival to something like Star Wars?

Dragon Ball's revival is much less hit or miss, so I'd say it's better. Super's pretty good all the way through aside from some crappy filler. All 3 revival movies are great. Dragon Ball Fighterz is fantastic. Kai is a great update of Z. Looking forward to that new Kakarot game. Meanwhile Star Wars ...
