I love Dragonball but it's long enough as it is.
520 chapters(and +1 if you count the Jump Special manga adaptation), 508 episodes, 17 movies, and 4 specials.
Eh...There's always DBO to look forward to if you have not had enough.

Even I have one complaint about the DBOX, so just to let you guys know, I really am yanking.

Seriously whats with the Lupin drawing of Vegeta in the Namek Freeza arc? Kai could fix it, but will they? NO, Toei thinks it's just best trace everything for Kai. Lazy f*$#@s. Kudos on their intros though.

They probably never fixed or, for example, Vegeta and Nappa's original armor colors because they wanted it to be true to the original broadcast and film.
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?

Kai did get rid of Lupin Vegeta, IIRC.
EDIT: Yeah, they did. Go look at the Episode 23 Discussion in the Kai section. People were happy that they had gotten rid of it.

Even though this series would look astoundingly cool with brand new animation and that we know Kai is getting amazing ratings, let's NOT make any new movies for it. Let's not make a sequel to the Jump Special this year either.



I want a new movie SO badly. I realize this year is Toei's One Piece Movie 10 year, and I can respect that, but next year...? PLEASE I'd be happy with even another Jump Special, I loved "Ossu!".

Maybe not quite THAT badly. ^^;

I think they'd have an easier and more believable time creating some new, interesting and difficult bad guys to fight if they pick an earlier time setting when everyone isn't so over-powered.

Like have a new movie that takes place during "those three years" before the jinzoningen arrive. Or set it during the five years between DB and Z where "the world had the extreme peace". X3

Let's make a whole bunch of cool characters and then just stop letting 90% of them do anything!

And even better, let's introduce this guy in the 5th episode of the first series and spend the rest of the time humiliating him, never letting him win a fight and giving his girlfriend to the guy who ordered his execution! That's a great way to treat our characters.

Then we can let Fox make a movie out of it. They clearly know what they're doing.

Let's stop advancing after the Freeza saga and add more villians solely for the purpose of drawing in more readers.

Let's get repititive and reuse the same two basic models:

SSJ Model:

Freeza Arc:

Freeza: Ha ha ha!!
Kuririn: Oh n.. *Kuririn is destroyed*
Goku: HOLY SHIT NOW I'M ANGRY!!!
Freeza: Crap! *Get's destroyed*

Cell Arc

Cell: Ha ha ha!!
Android 16: Oh n.. *Android 16 is squashed*
Gohan: HOLY SHIT NOW I'M ANGRY!!!
Cell: Crap! *Get's destroyed*

Genki Dama Model:

Vegeta Arc:

Vegeta: Ha ha ha!!
Kuririn: Oh no!
Goku: Don't worry I have the GENKI DAMA!!
Kuririn: Hurray!

Buu Arc:
Buu: Ha ha ha!!
Vegeta: Oh no!
Goku: Don't worry I have the GENKI DAMA!!
Vegeta: Hurray!

Let's have everyone bought back to life with the aid of the Dragon Ball because as we all know actual deaths in the story would ruin the entire thing... hell why didn't Kame-Sennin just stay dead after his failed attempt at using the mafuba rather than getting revived and turned into a comic relief?

Letting Kuririn defeat Freeza would be epic, killed by a human!

Kuririn: HOLY F$$$$ I killed Freeza!!!
Vegeta: .... What, but how!!!
Son Goku: Didn't know ya had it in you, let's go back to Earth for some R&R.

Total failure.

... That happened in the worst fic I ever read actually. It wasn't even intentionally, it was by accident. He also accidentally killed Vegeta and some random SSJ4 girl who was there for no adequately explained reason with the same attack. My theory was that Krillian went home a 6-foot stud and became worshipped like Mr. Satan was by the populace, but the fic never went into that <_<

But back on topic.... let's change things so much from the beginning that the fanbase is constantly at each other's throats for the rest of eternity!

Plot-Hole-Filling-Man to the rescue!

For those who may not know, before the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai (y'know, the one with Majunior) Goku tells the others that Kami-sama removed his tail permanently so that he could restore the moon.

And of course as we all know, Piccolo took care of it again five and a half years later. Those dang monkeys just ruined it for everybody, didn't they?

The monkey landing on him did that.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
