Re: King Piccolo died but Kami lived, why?

I know before he died (exploded) he shot his demon child across the sky, maybe there was some sort of transfer in that instance. Or...i don't know... whatever. :eh: Well, in-universe, we latter see Piccolo survive holes in his chest, so maybe the reason Daimao died was because he transferred his es...

Re: Most Useless Character

None of the characters are useless. Everyone comes and serves their purpose and sticks around to remind you that this is an evolving, progressive story. Honestly, this fandom's obsession with "use" is baffling to me. Toriyama made this rich, fun story full of a huge ensemble cast of lovabl...

Re: Preference on Trunks

Definitely Trunks in GT. Future Trunks can be irritating at times, and chibi Trunks is a bit of a brat (if a funny brat, though), but GT Trunks is relatable. I mean, that's why he's part of the core GT crew of Goku, Pan, and Trunks. Trunks is the every-man. A poor sap who's tired of his job and want...

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration

Dragon Ball Kai uses DBZ's animation but it's been chopped, rushed, badly remastered and uses inappropriate music for a series that's supposed to be modern and cinematic. Most of this is opinion rather than fact. And I'm not here to debate whether or not Kai is good; I'm only asking if we really ne...

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration

Do we really need another rerelease of this show? If you want Dragon Ball Z in HD, you have Kai for your viewing pleasure. If you want to watch the full, unabridged show without any changes, you have the Dragon Box. Dragon Ball Kai is not Dragon Ball Z . Well aware, just saying there's an option fo...

Re: Four years later, how do you feel about DBE?

Bay's DB movie most likely have been the same but it would have had Chi Chi be a total slut and Roshi would be a bad Asian stereotype. I would imagine that they would have shown Shenron's testicles after he was summon from the Dragon Balls :roll: . And it would still be a better movie than DBE. In ...

Re: How come DBZ music lyrics don't rhyme?

I can't believe with the amount of Japanese media I consume that I've never noticed this. Taking Jord's accidental advice, I've put on Dan Dan, and I hear what you mean. I suppose the more poetic, natural flow of Japanese lyrics never caught my attention because it is so natural. Or because I unders...

Re: Is a narrator really needed?

While I'm not sure if it was planned, I like the payoff in having the narrator and Kaio-sama share the same actor in the original Japanese. I like to pretend that the Narrator is Kaio-sama, retelling the story to a student far in the future. Perhaps the student asked him, "How did you die?&quo...

Re: GT's ending - so what exactly the hell happened?

Dragon Ball GT ends with Son Goku leaving the earth to make sweet love to space hookers on the back of his giant dragon. Along the way, he meets Freddie Mercury and they start a progressive rock band.

Re: Tenshinhan > Piccolo+Kami > Goku SSJ?

It's a plot device. The fact it can can even stun Cell, means it's far more powerful than a SSJ. Does Tenshinhan have >SSJ like power in that body of his? Obviously not. So it can only mean one thing, refer to first sentence. Super Saiyan is a plot device. Goku's tail is a plot device. Bulma's pant...
