Re: How would the Dragon Ball fandom react if Jiren were made into a gay man?

Why do you feel this way? Because the fusions are all full of themselves. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOfMrHqXIA0bd15.jpg Kefla can actually back it up, though. Well the same could be said about Vegetto, GT Gogeta and even Gotenks beat up Buu, they were the strongest when they were active, but they...

Re: Personal Disconnect Between Kid and Adult Goku

Regarding the point of young Goku's rounder eyes: While it is true that the 23rd Budokai design shows his early circular eye shape, it's not like he obtains the lower straight line the moment the Saiyan Arc begins, it's something that changes over time, as during the Saiyan Arc many times he is show...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Men live on top of an inferiority complex. Most of time they miss great dreams only to start an inner fight of meaning vs necessity. This can lead to violence (not always physical) bursts. Men live on top of continual sexual frustration. Men live on top of a immortality delusion: that they always h...

Re: Vegeta's writing in the Namek-Frieza Sagas was truly lacking logic

The reason Vegeta got so powerful was because of the near-death power up that is exclusive to Saiyans, this is specifically addressed in the series as being the reason Vegeta is gaining power. As for the ki sensing/supressing, i think VegettoEX is right that it never even occurred to him that such a...

Re: Goku's attitude regarding Piccolo Jr.

If looking for in-story justifications, there’s a change visible in the second Piccolo far before Gohan’s dialogue comes up. He expresses interest in and compliments other martial-artists, rises to and respects challenges, etc. Aside from consuming God after reversing the Mafuba, while he’s out for...

Re: How do you Feel About the Pacing of each Show?

Re: Goku's attitude regarding Piccolo Jr.

Well it was probably the fact that Piccolo participated on the tournament instead of just killing everyone and fight Goku from the jump. Also as you said, Piccolo never hurt anyone in those 5 years so that has to count for Goku. Sure, but it should be noted that he specifically did that only to hum...

Goku's attitude regarding Piccolo Jr.

So i'm sure everyone remembers this exchange: https://gohanpiccolopage.tripod.com/hanging2.jpg It honestly just occurred to me, why did Goku use to say that sort of thing to Gohan? Of course this is just Toriyama sloppily introducing this to reinforce Piccolo Jr. not being as evil as the previous Pi...

Re: Is GT worth watching?

I'm glad you are enjoying the series, every piece of Dragon Ball in my opinion is worth trying at least once, you never know when you find something that is truly special in spite of the overall fandom's opinions. Personally i really enjoy GT even with it's faults, it's not like the final few arcs o...

Re: Are these four main women in Dragon Ball really "just house wives"?

Bulma is still just as good as she always was, maybe even more, in Super they've given her a lot of protagonism in spite of being all fighting arcs (especially Zamasu arc) that's even an improvement over her original DB self where in some arcs she just stayed on the background because...

Re: Will there ever be a Dragon Ball series with an entirely new cast of characters?

In official media, i highly doubt it, even if they were to make something more experimental it would still have something to do with some of these characters, also doing so would make it feel like a lame reboot.

Re: Dragon Ball GT: Who should have launched off in search of the black star dragon balls.

I completely disagree with excluding Pan, GT is a story about her and Goku first and foremost and the changes in their relationship is important for the story being told, if she doesn't go with Goku to the travel, then they don't have an opportunity to bond after the initial shock of Goku being turn...

Re: The Real Meaning Behind Dragon Ball's Ending

Sure, but that is only in the 2000's kanzenban release, last number released in 2007, which is over a decade after the original ending, meaning that Toriyama was obviously out of touch with the series, especially given how forgetful Toriyama is about things, i feel like, when making this epilogue p...
