After Takahashi ended his original manga, Konami started commissioning sequel series with original plots ("GX" and on) so they could still have an anime promoting the card game on TV. They were made purely for that purpose, acting like they weren't is like trying to pretend the Super Drago...

Kaiba was clearly inspired by Vegeta. They have nothing in common other than the vague rival archetype Yes, especially considering Kaiba isn't that much of an asshole in the Japanese version and the manga. Just a determined hard-worker. He built an entire amusement park and hired professional soldi...

If nothing else, this thread is at least demonstrating why it's a good idea to actually watch/read the series you're trying to discuss.

Protecting the Earth is not the main motivator for training I agree but as they are strong enough to defend the weak and innocent as “with great power comes great responsibility” the most good hearted and most capable of them (depending on the threat) feel like they are obligated to protect their h...

Just gonna drop this here because it will never not be hilarious. https://i.imgur.com/eTkmmrM.png On a serious note though, I really don't think it's very healthy for kids to be denied access to anything more "adult" than Sesame Street before they're legal adults and suddenly get exposed t...

Spoiler: Companies are not people. They don't have opinions. Any time they publicly declare they're in support or opposition to something, it's a pr stunt to make customers associate them with an opinion they think is good. That's why some companies will immediately dress up in rainbows during the ...

...I'm pretty sure equivalents to all these exist in the real world too. Would you be a spec ops soldier, an engineer, a ceo, a mass murderer or neither of the above?

feels like it was done simply because Funi thought it sounded better than the original line. Yeah, this seems like a typical case of Funimation punching up the dialogue to make it sound funnier or, in this case edgier. I doubt they thought that fans like us would look so much into it, they probably...

I think you should watch the original instead of trying to make weird guesses about what may or may not have been said there based on comparing several bad dubs. This line seems to be a rewrite-heavy "localization" of 悟飯はきさまのように闘いは好きじゃないんだ ("Gohan doesn't like fighting, like you do&q...

I know Japanese, I know what was said, and I was explaining what was said to someone that specifically said they didn't know, but was making (wrong) assumptions based on what some other dub mistranslated it as. Then you came in out of nowhere and started derailing the thread with all kinds of bizarr...

I know what the implication is in the original, and so does 90sDBZ , he was saying he doesn't think it was said in the Japanese version, and that's fair because we don't know what the exact words being said in Japanese are. The closest approximation we have is how Steve Simmons translated the lines...

I don't think this is fair to the OP, he understands the Funimation Z dub line is drastically different from the original, and is just commenting on... No, he said he didn't think this line was in the original because he had crosschecked with some other dub. I recognized what line this was obviousl...

And Smurfette is an artificial creation. Soooo...

Keep in mind that the idea of the "Namekians" was kind of developed after the alien thing got brought into it with the Saiyans. Previously the character Piccolo Daimaou was supposed to be a demon. He WAS a demon. Why would a demon look similar to the "God" character? Because he ...

It's more like referring to yourself in third person to sound self-important. It sounds imposing when coming from a fictional character like Dr. Doom, it just sounds ridiculous if you say it in real life. No gang member unironically says "ore-sama". nah, Dr. Doom would use third person bu...

I believe Weekly Shonen Jump is primarily aimed at the male 9-12 demographic, so that's your target audience. The anime aims slightly younger, but "early elementary school" sounds about right. Didn't Funimation specifically mention 9 year olds as their primary target? "There's a 9 yea...

I know very little about Japanese, I just see the "kisama" and "ore-sama" and figure he's addressing Raditz harshly while speaking highly of himself. using "ore-sama" is basically blow-hard-tough speech, even more of the already rude "ki-sama" Piccolo is bein...
