Re: Episode #0509 (25 February 2024)

Got the time to listen to it and I didn't expect to be indirectly mentioned. :shock: At around 49:05, VegettoEX says he saw someone trying to justify the five years with the Bra thing while saying it doesn't work. I mean... Yeah, it does!? Goku did see Bra in the Universe Survival saga, in fact, he ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I find that moment to be a waste of opportunity to establish some lore that has been "plaguing" Dragon Ball for some time. It's kind of annoying when something is right there, we can see it, we can touch it, we can smell it, but it is never addressed.

Re: Did Trunks' maternal grandparents (Bulma's parents) die in EOZ?

One thing we can't say is that Dragon Ball Super "ruined" it (surprisingly!). Pan debuted in Movie 15, and it takes place in AGE 779. We do know that Universe Survival saga, where Bra debuted, takes place in AGE 780 because the Super Dragon Balls are used there. They take one year to recha...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

Also, you're the one that is twisting things. You're bending the story to try to make things fut that simply don't fit. There is a huge difference in what I am doing and what you are doing: • You: Raditz never showed up. • Me: Bulma and the others greet Gohan normally when he and Goku paid Muten Ro...

Re: If Toriyama decided to bring Zamasu back

Making Zamasu work with a team of mortals is an interesting idea. Normally it would be, if it had come from Dragon Ball Super or Toriyama, but because that's an idea that came from a game, then it is bad, as typical. For more, see: Golden Freeza = good, Golden Coola = bad. Tournaments and retelling...

Re: Why didnt goku chach the dragon ball in dead zone

I take the movies as “stories in a different dimension from the main story of the comic . That is not Daizenshuu saying that, it's Akira Toriyama. And that is one of the sources that contradicts your "feeling" that the movies are what-if stories, as Toriyama himself acknowledges them. I w...

I don't think so. I think so. And with these hints , I don't think I'm alone. I think it's pretty universally known that the movies don't follow the main continuity. Not the "main story" that you grew up watching/reading. But another version of the "main story" is where they fit...

But the movies obviously don't fit into the main story. Not the "main story" that you grew up watching/reading. But another version of the "main story" is where they fit. Instead of trying to stuff them in, why not just look at them as taking place in their own continuity? This ...

There is something called "leniency" and "open-mindedness". If something is wrong but can be easily fixed, why getting fixated on the wrongness and ignore the solution? This is like saying Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman don't fit with the rest of the manga because of Bulma's age, e...

I mean, if you want to connect the old movies together in your headcanon then that’s cool, but they weren’t designed to follow each other sequentially like that Accordingly, if you want to separate each of the old movies in your headcanon then that's cool, but there is Hatchiyack OVA, where the cha...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

All the other DLCs would have been just "okay", if it wasn't for Trunks DLC showing how great and substantial they can be. That's the problem with setting the bar too high and for being "too good for its own good". Even when we are lucky to get nice things, we can't properly enjo...

Re: Why Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime is stuck in post TOP

Dragon Ball Heroes is "stuck" post-Dragon Ball Super Broly. Goku and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta to fight Hearts. We don't know why Dimps don't use Broly in its stories. Maybe they are waiting for more developments to occur for him in Dragon Ball Super, but at any rate, we don't know anything....

Was this it? Is this the whole DLC? They didn't add any side quests or anthing other new? What a disappointing DLC if so.

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?

Huh? Bulma's age in Jaco, the Galactic Patrolman is completely fine. She's stated to be five years old, which is a minor mistake as she was born in AGE 733, which would then mean she should be six years old, and which we can easily fix it by placing that manga before her birthday, she will turn six ...

^ There's a good chance Super will show it in due time. I'll believe it when I see it. It would surely show Pan and Bra having a bond similar to Goten and Trunks.
