Kanzenshuu

Huh. That was different. Not in a bad way. In a relatable way, actually. Fellow European with a background in language here. :wave: All the commentary about translation was on point. How beginners think they know more than they actually do, how you want to convey not just the words but more importan...

Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo dying and being rendered irrelevant in the Buu saga. Nothing ground-breaking, just something that makes me INCREDIBLY salty. Something that has made me feel better about Gotenks and Gohan's roles in the Boo arc: they aren't the only ones training to beat Boo. There...

The only lines I can think of that come close are Freeza telling Piccolo he can transform two more times, and telling Goku he's only using [insert number here] percent of his power. A "not even my final form" line would make most sense in his 3rd form, but by that point we already knew it ...

Couldn't make it to the live broadcast due to time zones, but just caught up via the YouTube version. Whew! That sure was a thing. About another thing. Some random thoughts first: - Way to make me drool within half a second by starting off with that banner of manga panels. - I love that Appule was a...

It's probably because the Saiyan arc has a solid, satisfying three-act structure. (Of course a contributing factor for the Saiyan and Namek arcs' popularity is also that many of us saw them on repeat several times over before we got any other part of the story) On the topic of the Red Ribbon arc's r...

Super and GT are not very fresh in my mind, so their ratings may be off, especially since I haven't read the Super manga (except for the second half of the Moro arc). From what I've heard, it's more coherent compared to the anime's haphazard nature, so if I did read the Super manga some of its arcs ...

I always kind of saw the Eldest Namekian as the "god" of that planet, but maybe that's just because we often see them in communication with Earth's god(s) and other deities like Kaio. It's like he's on the level of "god" without officially being a god.

At first, not much. While preparing for the Cell Games, Vegeta still seemed convinced he would be the one to destroy Cell. But during Goku's fight with Cell, Vegeta suddenly admits that Goku is beyond him. Sooo... something changed. Maybe it was simply seeing Goku in action again (who had been out o...

The whole section of Videl uncovering the Great Saiyaman's identity was altered in the anime, so only bits and pieces of that were animated.

I like the idea of Raditz and Nappa being reincarnated as Goten and Trunks. This is moooooooooost likely not the case though.

I live for the little things. Forget beam struggles and transformations -- gimme stuff like Muten Roshi hiding in a drawer after Goku kicks Lunch in the face (yeah that's a thing that actually happened). - A confused Goku poking at an empty mech, knocking it over, and thinking "He just... died!...

Let me try this with the franchise I was obsessed with before I got into Dragon Ball: the Looney Tunes. Given the random nature of Zen'o as well as the Looney Tunes, the point character could be anyone, but let's say Zen'o loves watching Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny (1) is the most prominent one, so ...

I wouldn´t say Blue single-handedly saved the arc (*cough* Tao Pai-Pai *cough*) but he is definitely one of its highlights. The Muscle Tower section is one of my least favorite parts of the story (though I would still rate it at least 7/10). Metallic, Buyon, and White aren't the most interesting of ...

The potential of uniqueness in Gero and 19 in terms of moveset/playstyle is so great it's simply mind-boggling why they're yet to be added. Especially considering the story mode is so centered around characters related to Gero. Xenoverse was weird that way, too - a huge cast of characters including...

When I went to read the recent editorial about the Galactic Patrol , I noticed a "Blocked Advertisement" at the top and bottom of the page, saying "All funds generated from advertising on this site are used solely for covering its hosting services. Please whitelist this domain in your...

Hard to say; the line gets blurry. My experience with Dragon Ball has been a journey of change, learning, adapting. I no longer consume the series the way I did when I first got into it twenty years ago. My journey started with Dutch subtitles on an amalgamation of multiple unfaithful English dubs, ...

Another forum I'm on uses 'private likes', where you can see exactly who liked/disliked your posts, and you don't see the like/dislike ratios on any posts other than your own. It's kinda nice because that way it doesn't turn into a popularity contest, and whenever someone does like your post (or whe...

Wow! It's honestly surprising to hear that you haven't had any formal classes, because the whole "read the text in its entirety before you begin" is like Translation 101 stuff that I heard over and over throughout the course I took. :lol: There is, of course, a world of difference between ...

So good of you to telluce and lettuce know all about the Tullece Corps. *Ahem* Kaio-approved puns aside, it never fails to blow my mind just how much Kanzenshuu is up my ally. I'm into comics, languages, making sure information is as correct/accurate as possible, etc... I even have a degree in trans...

I limited mine to characters who appear in the original manga, as that is the material I revisit the most. Everything else is not as fresh in my mind, so I can't rate those characters accurately (with a few exceptions such as Jaco or Beerus, but I left them out anyway). Some fairly notable characte...
