So...how is it nobody knows that Gohan is The Great Saiyaman? During the tournament, his classmates overheard Krillin (I think) ask him why he was wearing such a silly costume, yet nobody seems to know his secret identity anymore. Did that memory get erased along with the memory of Buu? How was that wish worded, by the way? Clearly, all the main cast remembers Buu, so the wish had to exclude them somehow... Did they wish for everyone without knowledge of ki control to forget the last few days? Somebody would had to have noticed, then, that nearly everyone on the entire planet was missing a few days, even if most of the population was more dense than a rock.

When I'm on other boards with a like and dislike system, often the amount of likes will determine what button I'll press, if the resulting number will have a relevance to a number in the Dragon Ball franchise.

For example if a comment has 130 upvotes/likes, I'll upvote it so it has 131, the same as the number of Super episodes there are.
So lots of posts and comments out there have had their rating influenced simply because of my OCD with that and not because I liked or disliked it, lol.

been watching gundam wing (which...isn't very good but);and rewatching utena with my boyfriend and man, i kinda wish hikaru midorikawa took over as vegeta rather then tenshinhan lol. he's like fine as tenshinhan and horikawa is never losing the vegeta role barring retirement or a early death god forbid but oh my god, midorikawa would be a absolutely perfect vegeta.

I tried asking this in the SDBH thread right after seeing the episode, but it got buried:

Does anyone know if Vegetas flashbacks in that episode were newly drawn/animated? Or recycled footage?

i thought it was fairly obvious given the style and colour palette but definitely redrawn.

Does anyone know if the existing Level Sets are back in production? They just showed up in my Amazon feed, listed as brand new at non-ridiculous pricing, so I have to wonder what's going on.

Wasn't sure where else to ask this, but is there a thread that has all of Toriyama's contributions to Dragon Ball Super? Consisting of interviews, character designs, manga corrections, etc?

I don't think it has ever been very clear exactly how involved he's been. He'll write the stories, sure, but he takes suggestions from Toei, based on what they think would be popular. Resurrection F and Broly were probably both Toei's idea, but Toriyama wrote the plot. How much detail does he give? How closely does Toei follow Toriyama's writing? Don't know for sure. I doubt anyone knows which of the new characters during ToP were his designs and which were Toyotaro's. The major characters (minus Kale) were probably his.

Was that a dub thing or also in the original Kai? Cause if so, it's kinda lame... Kai kept many unnecessary filler, they could keep that one as it served to create a connection between the RR arc and the Android/Cell arc.

not to self indulge but i'm non-binary but for the first 3 years i posted on here (which was by far my most active time period), i hadn't come out yet and though i don't think i ever said anything about my gender (or what i thought i had to be), a lot of my opinions and thoughts were certainly that of a 13 year old boy.

but i'm even when i did think i was male, i was still attracted to men so it doesn't really matter either which way lol.

I am extremely confused on why you would jump to the conclusion that they’re a girl based solely on the mention of them having a boyfriend.

Well, sure there are women who are fan of DB, but to the point of subscribing in a forum is a bit rare. Here for example I can just remember Chuquita, precita, HeroH and JulieYBM, I asked Soppa Saia People out of curiosity, but he/she's not obligated to answer though.

now, i don't mean to be rude but it's weird to ask a question, and then that person answers the question, and then to be like Yeah They Don't Have To Answer. like no, i gave you answer and i have my pronouns in my signature ?

Saying "I thought you were a boy" is heavily offensive. Please don't say that to people.

Do you guys generally consider Yo Son Goku to be part of the continuity? I mean, it could be ignored for the most part, but there are a few references to Tarble spread throughout later content, however they're kinda flimsy. Tarble is mentioned indirectly in the BoG movie, but only the movie version and not in either of the Super versions. He's also mentioned in material relating to BR, but not in the movie itself as far as I can recall. Based on all that, I'm not entirely sure what his status is, and therefore what the Yo Son Goku story's status is. Personally I'm leaning towards it being a part of the main continuity and not just a spin-off, but what do you guys think?

It can't be "ignored for the most part" considering the characters rarely speak about relatives. I doubt Vegeta would ocasionally say: "oh by the way, I might have a brother somewhere out there". No, the cast know about Tarble because they met him (in the OVA).

And yes, Dragon Ball Super Broly also mentions Tarble, Nappa asks about him.

Being spin-off has no relation to being part of the "main continuity" or not. Trunks manga/TV Special is a spin-off and it takes place in the "main continuity".

A while ago, Poker Night at the Inventory came to my mind. For those who don't know, it's a duology of Poker games featurung famous characters from Valve. While the premise is simple, the game's strong point is the loads of conversations between the players, referencing past adventures and cracking jokes.


I thought of how hilarious that concept could be if applied with the Dragon Ball, and it could lead to some interesting dialogue. But could it even be feasible? Who would even work in a setting of "Dragon Ball characters play poker"? Back then, I thought of Dyspo, Hit, 17 and... Sorrel (in both games, there is an out-there character that just makes you wonder what are they even doing there, and have a predominantly white colour scheme). Thing is, they'd have to invent a lot of stuff, because it's not like we have deep lore coming from Sorrel.


There are other silly game concepts I've had before... Just not quite like this one.
Pretty much a guy who has been really late on catching up with Dragonball and Fighterz.

I'm really not an expert on the matter, but I like to think.
