Well... That is, assuming you want to buy a release. It would, of course, be much cheaper to get the $2/month Shounen Jump service from Viz, which includes all of Dragon Ball, though in black and white. Though apparently it uses the earliest print masters from the individual volumes, so it's got th...

Not sure if this has been brought here (and I don't think it was in the Dissection series), but why didn't Bulma realize Future Trunks was her son until Piccolo tells her that he's the future version of her baby? I know she's only seen him once before, but wouldn't it be obvious the second she knew ...

My guess for an in-universe explanation is that he couldn't be sensed because he was never really using his full power while in Planetoid Vampa. I doubt he was ever using all of his strength while training and whatnot. His hidden strength doesn't seem to be unleashed until the fights on Earth.

I'm severely due for a Dragon Ball Super rewatch, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but it looked like it was a continuation to the universe rip (or whatever)that was hinted at back in the Battle of Gods arc when Goku and Beerus' punches connect. I think something similar happened while Goku ...

For Z, I would recommend getting the Full Colors and then finishing off the Cell and Buu with VizBigs. Pretty good idea, but I'm just not into the Full Colors. They're nice, but I prefer the way it was originally colored (or, not colored, mostly). Plus I think they might be a bit pricier than just ...

Unfortunately the Dragon Ball videos I usually see get attention are the generic reactions and "facts you didn't know" videos (most of which are actually wrong/ have no sources)

Quick update: I ordered a few VIZBIGs (Dragon Ball 2-4). Skipped vol. 1 because I have 3-in-1 vol. 1 as a stand in for now. I'll replace it later.

Though now that I think about it, I should've gotten it for a direct comparison lol. Oh well.

I'm just gonna go with the VizBigs. The classic color pages are a huge selling point to me. Biggest gripe (aside from the basically unavoidable censorship) is that I'll miss out on the Spine Art. All they have are a bunch of Goku pics on both the spine and covers. But oh well. Thanks guys! I guess o...

Personally i wouldn't mind seeing Goku old, after all at this point in Super he is in his early 40's. So it's not like we haven't seen him age before. It would feel natural. Not to mention that, thanks to Toriyama, they don't even need to look old until they're 80 anyways. Heck if we count all his ...

If you know Spanish, they've released all or almost all of the Full Color volumes. I do but I'd rather just have it in English for convenience. I do know Spanish, but even so I don't think getting all of those would be very easy. And I'm much more comfortable reading in English. But thanks for the ...

I actually do have the first volume of the 3-in-1 set, but yeah, the paper quality isn't very good. I'm also not a fan of the lack of color pages. The colored chapters really stick out in a bad way because they're reduced to grey-scale, and the details become unclear. I think I might go for the VizB...

So, I've never actually collected the full manga series (mainly because I would just go to the library to get them temporarily whenever I felt like revisiting) I've kinda wanted to get a printed run for my own shelf, but I can't decide which. I tried looking at my options in the Kanzenshuu guides, b...

I think it may be because he was originally sealed in a rice cooker and he had the Pilaf Gang with him at first. That's about it though

I guess it doesn't help that the VIZ releases of the manga are all split between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. I think the only exception is the 3-in-1 release

Oh, and the Full Color sets. But they released them starting with the Saiyan Arc, even in Japan from what I've heard

I like Geekdom101 because he is very informative. Unfortunately I stopped following him because I wanted to avoid spoilers for Super. I still check out his channel from time to time, for things like Dragon Ball In-Depth . I've always liked learning new things about Dragon Ball, and he's got me cover...

For Z, the best compromise would be slapping on Kai's dub and redubbing to fill in the blanks, but even then 122 episodes would still be a huge commitment and expense Funimation isn't likely to go through with. Well, the mouth flaps also wouldn't match because they were made for Kai, which edits th...

That does kind of make sense considering the first thing we see Chi-Chi do is kill a dinosaur

I think a GT redub isn't necessary when it's been pushed aside by the fans in favor of Super. Today, anyone new to GT would likely avoid it because of the notion that it's "not canon". I would say re-dubbing Z is a better idea, but I guess they won't feel the need to that either because o...

I can't believe I was dumb enough to avoid the Kanzenshuu Forums for all these years.

Now I can discuss my favorite Dragon Ball analysis series with other fans. Cool.
