I think I articulated myself quite alright. batistabus got it. Alrighty then, let's cut the bullshit and assess some key takeaways from that post: "Even though Vegeta loves Bulma, he doesn't outright say it and would be embarrassed to have it brought up." "I can accept a more talkati...

*snip* Good lord. :crazy: You're reaching so hard you could touch Jupiter. You're stretching so much you put Stretch Armstrong to shame. I'm not convinced that you sincerely believe what you're posting, but these rank among some of the most absurd mental gymnastics I've read in quite some time. I'm...

"Canonizing" Broly was an acceptable idea because he's a Saiyan and he's stupidly popular, so whether you like him or not, there are lots of interesting things you can do with the storytelling and background lore there. It was enough to make Toriyama feel invested in rebooting him. I can't...

Who said anything about losing demeanor or hiding emotions? You did. "He has evolved throughout the series, yes, but he also has kept his demeanor and a lot of other things." The wording of your statement implicitly suggested it was related to your argument, otherwise you wouldn't have br...

He didn't question why he was saving the Namekians. He simply questioned that he would dare interrupt his meal. And Vegeta replied to that question with a fairly direct "I interrupted your meal because I can't allow another Namekian to get hurt, since I have a troubled history with them"....

That felt very out of character. Not Vegeta feeling responsibility and desire to protect the Namekians, but flat out saying it outright is what didn't sound natural or in-character. That felt like it was done solely as exposition to explain his state of mind (and I'd argue that there are better way...

It was nothing more than a set up chapter for the confrontation to introduce Moro's threat level for the next release. Personally, I think that's fine. Necessary, even. As a setup chapter, it wasn't any worse than, say, 28. Whether it's the Galactic Patrol's deduction at work, the bad guys on the m...

Eliminating 4 universes, obviously to most, made it come off as Toyo being lazy and just getting rid of 4 universe right off the bat to make the Tournament go by faster or because he was too lazy to give some of those 4 universes more attenaion. Did you actually bother to read the posts I'd linked ...

If you’re saying Kale was built up to rampage in the Tournament, it was the same case in the anime. Yet anime Kale didn’t eliminate 4 universes in one or 2 episodes. Well, no. It wasn't the same case in the anime. Eliminating one or two fighters isn't much of a rampage, so whatever build-up she was...

Think about it. Kale took out 4 universes in one chapter. In an arc thats supposed to be a battle royale between all 8 universes, Kale takes half the universes out. I believe these two posts adequately summarize how I feel about the situation with Kale in the manga. In particular, I recommend going...

Too rushed This seems to be a common complaint among people who don't really understand what good pacing is. If you're not progressing from plot point to plot point or moving to scenes that establish something important about your characters, you're not telling an appropriately structured story. Th...

What I liked: Some decent action in this chapter. The ATATATATAs are notably absent and I really liked the weird outmaneuver-ish choreography between Moro and Vegeta. I'll probably never get tired of seeing our Saiyan duo gauge their opponents through good old-fashioned transformation cycling. I'm ...

When the new chapter will be available in Viz? Today. Ever since the subscription rehaul, it seems that Viz is releasing free V Jump chapters on the 20th now, albeit later in the day than you'd expect (presumably to be in line with Japan's schedule). When in doubt, you can check out their release s...

For my more substantive thoughts on it, you can go here. I really enjoyed reading this. I largely had the same thoughts about the themes of fatherhood (more specifically, its influence on their offspring) and how seamlessly they manage to tie all of it into a coming-of-age story about Broly, but yo...

Aside from a few relatively minor translation hiccups, the movie's dub is honestly remarkable. The weakest performances were probably kid Vegeta and Raditz, but they weren't distractingly bad. Everyone else nailed their roles; Schemmel felt the most energetic he's been since perhaps Battle of Gods ,...

Saw it earlier in one of my favorite theaters. Man, what a fantastic fucking ride. As far as I'm concerned, it's easily the best Dragon Ball film to date. What I liked: Not a single interaction or line of dialogue failed to deliver. I love Bardock's bittersweet moment of self-reflection before he la...

I hate it when awesome characters get the shaft. Hell he could have been the final boss instead of Buu. Let Frieza come to earth alone and get killed and have Cold arrive after the Android arc seeking revenge and bring a galactic armoy with him. Cold's purpose is to emphasize Freeza's traits -- to ...

I favor this one. It preserves the translation/meaning, sounds scary as shit, and mainly just makes me think of Piccolo as one badass dude.

First of all, I think people largely tend to complicate the concept of "canon" more than necessary. As Shueisha themselves have already implied, the original author's vision takes precedence over just about everything. And sure -- Super does have its own sub-continuities with alternate tak...

If you are going to mention the Great Kaioshin losing his godly power, then that is probably a different thing. But it might not be. A lot of different terms in Dragon Ball are used interchangeably, and more importantly, we know that the Kaioshin regularly use divine ki. I'd rather Goku and Vegeta ...
