Do you think anything will be added to the last episode?

Post by Kingdom Heartless » Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:08 am

I'm not talking like new animation or anything, but maybe a bit of a voice over and some clips or something... like saying that the adventure isn't over.

I always hoped they'd animate the Kanzenban ending, or maybe attempt a "what happens next" covering all of GT, or maybe a flashback montage ending like GT.

It would be stupid if they just ended it like Z only without an NEP.

Vegeta comes on screen and blames the audience for Kai's sudden ending, robbing him of the character development he receives in the Buu arc. Then he fires a Big Bang Attack at the screen. Cue Toei logo. Then One Piece.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

That would actually feel pretty good after all this.

I said this in an earlier topic, but I'd say Episode 98 will start with Trunks saying good-bye to everyone in the present, then going to the future. He meets up with Bulma, destroys 17,18, and Cell, and then the final 5 minutes will probably be some sort of montage of the show.

5 biggest shames with no Buu Arc in Kai:

5. We never see Kuririn and 18 really get together. Kuririn had lost all importance fighting, but seeing him find happiness in this arc with a family brought some needed closure to all the "oh crap, I'm in love with her, I can't kill her" stuff from earlier in the Cell Arc.

4. No Earth go boom. Just one of my favorite scenes from the Arc, and pretty memorable, even if it's back a few episodes later. This seemed to be the natural progression for Toriyama considering the development of the baddies powers and the urgency growing from arc to arc on what could possibly happen to everyone and everything Goku was trying to protect.

3. No Gohan/Videl. Videl was exactly the sort of character that story-wise worked to get with Gohan. All their antics and the growth of their relationship and love for each other go's at a nice pace, and it's probably the most well done romantic relationship in the Dragon Ball universe.

2. No Vegeta development. While Vegeta helping out Gohan in defeating Cell was pretty friggen' awesome, Vegeta ended up needing the Buu Arc to finish his 180 as a character. It was very believable, and the Majin Vegeta story twist was way too good, and easily the best part of the Buu Arc.

1. The Falling action of the Cell Arc just isn't all that great an ending to the story. I know a lot of people didn't like the DBZ ending, but looking past the fact that I loved it, it was better than ending the story of the DBZ universe with Trunks saving the future, the final episode doesn't even get to be about the time line we have followed the whole show. As for Episode 97(What I'm assuming is the Shenron wishes stuff) seemed to be a "middle-ending" and not "THE ending", because of where we are left off with all the characters. Toriyama seemed by that point to be committed to another story arc, so he didn't care too much about giving you some big ending. Too bad, we'll see what the next 4 episodes gives us in the way of closure.

I agree with you, spikevegeta. A lot of important character development happens during the Boo arc. At one point of hearing the news of Kai ending , I thought "Maybe it wouldn't be that bad..." But then the other half of me kicked that side into submission. The Majin Vegeta episode was the point where it was shown that Vegeta had love inside of him, and it happened to be able to conquer the strong magic of Babbadi. That was probably one of my top 5 moments in Dragon Ball.
"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.
Don't forget to slow down and enjoy yourself.

Another shame will be Mr. Satan not getting any character development.

This is the only ending that will do justice, because in the midst of cutting the series short, it will give us a good laugh :lol:

If experience with other Toei series proves a pattern, we'll just get a preview for Toriko's first episode at the end instead of Kai's typical "next episode preview" animation. :(

That idea with Vegeta does sound fun though. XD

They should add in Lunch doing something. Whether it's complain about being cut out, or something. I just want her somewhere in Kai.

The series started with a clip-show, it'll end with a clip-show.

That's exactly what I was laughing to myself thinking. And since we both seem to be named Lance, it's only fitting. :P But, yeah, the show opened with a montage of stuff we should have seen first but didn't get to see. And it'll probably end with a montage of a bunch of stuff we should see later but won't get to see. There's a certain symmetry of failure to Kai in that particular sense. :wink:

Lol, Toei cares about GT?

And the last episode special treat is going to be a Toriko preview.
