Re: If Freeza were a female would he still be a hit as a villain?
Freeza is a ruthless bastard who slaughters his own people. That's hit villain material, no matter what gender.

Re: Tien is not human, according to canon

Re: Mishandling of the Multiverse
I think a basic multiverse requires parallels to each other, which means all universes need to have Saiyans in them. The Spider-Verse and the DC Infinite Earths are examples of that, with different Spider-Men and different Justice Leaves. https://legadodamarvel.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/s%C2...

Tien is not human, according to canon
https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Triclops He is a descendant of an ancient race of three-eyed aliens, and would be considered gods. The third eye is a symbol of enlightenment and divinity in Eastern culture. It's another forgotten plot element that's common in DB. But it does qualify Tien to fight...

Re: Is Gohan more handsome than his father?
Beauty is objective.
Gohan may be considered more handsome due to him being smarter and more mature than his father. But female fans love Goku for his boyish charm and innocence.

Re: A Hakaishin always being weaker than Tenshi
Logically speaking, a god of destruction should be weaker than an angel.
But the whole anime trope of "angels going evil, demons going good" tends to subvert that system, in both a good and bad way.

Re: Ok, I was Wrong: Maybe a live-action DB Movie can work.
It's nice to see a fan of Indian cinema around on this board.
And a lot of Indian films work in a tokusatsu style: lots of ham acting and outrageous unrealistic action sequences. DB has that too, as part of Japanese culture. Any adaptation that is willing to keep that can be on the right track.

Re: In Dragon Ball Super the Z fighters misuse the Dragon Ball
Yeah in Super their value seemed to have shifted from priceless treasure to commodity/lottery prize.
It didn't feel right, these are the tools of genies who can grant gifts, everybody should be stealing/guarding them.

Re: Could other villains have been stopped with the Mafuba/Evil Containment Wave?
The Mafuba sounds like an all-purpose attack, and if it could work on Zamasu it could work on anyone less powerful than him.
But I don't know about warriors after Zamasu. Maybe Jiren could fight off the attack.

All Bulma has left are old lady jokes
It's really sad. That particular joke was okay when it started in Battle of Gods, but they kept up through DBS and the successive films and it's just not funny now, to me anyway. Bulma is old, but still pretty. But all she cares about is being younger for herself. She even collected the Dragon Balls...

Re: Sorrow and Melancholy
There are some points of sorrow and melancholy - the deaths that do not get resurrected, the tragic pasts of a few characters - but on the whole, Toriyama dwells on them just enough and then moves on with the plot and its adventure and fun, a matter of precise and sound judgement from him.

Simple - he never had the opportunity, Uub was his first pupil technically.
And Goku sensei may be an source of great potential that another tale could explore.

Who would Masako Nozawa's husband Masaki Tsukada have voiced in Dragon Ball?
Masako Nozawa was married to Masaki Tsukada, until Tsukada passed away in 2014. In a contrast to Nozawa voicing tough kids, Tsukada voiced older dignified men; one of his most memorable roles was Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto in BLEACH. Do you think there was a role that could fit Tsukada in Dragon B...
