What "impossible" DB things would you love to happen?

Post by Ringworm128 » Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:51 am

What things do you think would be awesome even though you know they will never happen. I personally would love a cross over between the Funimation dub and Japanese dub. I would love to see Schemmels "ultra nice guy" Goku interacting with Nozawa's Goku, Young's joke cracking Freeza teaming up with Nakao's faux gentleman Freeza and so on and so forth. I would have the ultimate fangasm if something like that happened even if I'm the only one who wants it.

Have someone else besides Goku be the hero in the newest piece of media.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

The series consistently having proper, accessible home video releases.

(EDIT: On the same note, all of Kai released with the Yamamoto OST.)

A game beat'm up game about the Great Saiyaman.

A new movie with the same BoG cast where ****Gokuu**** isn't the hero.

A kiss scene or any kind of subtle romance.

- UK Dragon Box release w/ broadcast audio
- Entire series redone like the Ultimate Tenkaichi cutscenes (but actually accurate i.e. Gohan having tears in his eyes when he turns SSJ2)
- A 2D or at least classic feeling DBZ game akin to Budokai 3 w/ a proper storymode with cutscenes along with a bunch of different modes reminiscent of the Galaxy modes from RB2

- Toriyama to have the motivation to continue Dragon Ball with the same love and care that was taken throughout the start of the series

A story focusing on Pan and Oob as the new generation taking over (along with Goten and Trunks to a smaller degree, I guess) instead of yet again turning to Goku and Vegeta. Or perhaps an adaptation of DBO.

No I don't mean a bilingual DVD/BR release. I mean a TV special or movie where the characters cross over into an alternate universe where the old Funimation dub took place.

Don't you people get tired from saying this ? in Original Dragon Ball everyone was useful, even in Z they had they're moments. Kuririn and Yajirobe was the reason why Goku didn't die from Vegeta (isn't that a BIG useful thing they did ?) Kuririn had a big role in Frieza arc. Tien in the Cell arc had his moment when he did the Tri-Beam on imperfect Cell. Piccolo always had a big role nearly as much as saiyans, except the Majin Buu arc where every non-saiyan was really useless.

It's pretty all over the place, but they really weren't that helpful overall. Hell, DBZ is arguably better at balancing characters than DB; at least if you were a Saiyan or Piccolo, the series entertained the idea of you doing something significant; in Dragon Ball everyone else catered to Goku.

Well, when we say "useful," I assume they mean useful in accomplishing a task or fighting evil, not competing in a tournament. That said, the Budokais were more or less a compromise to show off the cast, except for arguably Yamcha in the 21st and 23rd Budokai where he had pretty humiliating defeats.

EDIT: Also, Chaozu losing offscreen in the 23rd preliminaries.

My point is they did something awesome, before i watched the Original Dragon Ball (yes, like the majority i watched DBZ first) i didn't love Tien or Yamcha that much, but after i finished the 22th Tenkaichi Budokai, Tienshinhan become one of my favorite characters in the series. and that's why most people hate Yamcha or the others human, because they didn't watch the Original DB where we got more moments of them.

but this is some of Dragon Ball problems, hero always save the day in the end. can we say all classic shonen series were like that back in the day ? (80s or beginning of 90s)
