Re: A decade ago... Kenji Yamamoto was fired

It's almost a shame he was exposed. Because while he was blatantly plagiarizing (and thus committing a serious crime), he was plagiarizing some good stuff.

No, we'll replace Nozawa with a speech synthesis AI. There's thousands of hours of recordings for the machine learning algorithm to work with!

Re: How common are Mazoku-style demons in Japanese lore?

From what I understand in DB, you can't just become a true Mazoku/Demon just by choice or association or embracing evil and the like. You do in fact have to be a demon by "race". That is to say either by birth or by some kind of supernatural transformation like in the Garlic Junior arc. T...

How common are Mazoku-style demons in Japanese lore?

One of my favorite parts of this website is the Demon Guide , which lists and explains the various types of demons in the Dragon Ball franchise. This has been a subject of much confusion in the English fandom, particularly relating to the type of demon that Piccolo and his father were, mazoku (demon...

This makes way too much sense.

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/31/20!)

I would've liked this film more if the fights were less one-sided. Bio-Broly was better about this, with Goten and Trunks scoring some genuinely damaging hits on the big lug.

Heaven (Tengoku), or Heavenly Realm (Tenkai) where Kami's Temple / The Lookout is located?
Heaven as in the afterlife.

Re: The idea that saiyans are not native the Planer Vegeta/Plant

I'm not sure if it goes back farther than this, but it is part of the story of the 1993 video game Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, from which the GT Baby story cribs heavily. Toriyama implied pretty heavily that the Saiyans weren't native to the planet in his original memo on the Tuffles , which was...

Re: MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 12/11/20!)

I doubt 18's Kienzan would've done anything more than bounce off the kids' skin honestly. She's ridiculously weak compared to them and nothing in the manga actually supports the "Kienzan can cut anything regardless of battle power" fanon that has managed to spread like a cancer.

I wonder how different the perception of Kaioshin among the fandom would be if Toriyama just made the small change of having him easily defeat Piccolo in a flashy manner rather than just having Piccolo say he was way stronger. Or if the audience got a direct measuring stick statement when Kaioshin p...

I don't think Videl would have been jailed for breaking Spopo's neck, nor was she violating any rules. It's accepted in combat sports that your opponent might die, which is why you both agree beforehand that no one will be held legally liable in the case of death or serious injury. This is especiall...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

What if the various tournaments in the series took a page out of real life and instituted weight classes? Or rather, power level classes? Like how in boxing, guys who weigh between 130 and 135 (lightweight) wouldn't fight guys who weigh between 160 and 168 (super middleweight) because everyone know...
