The thing about Vegeta is that he's more interesting when he do things by himself and not only because he want to best Goku.

I'm watching "Never Have I Ever" on Netflix, Mindy Kaling's new show, and in season 2, episode 5, one of the characters dressed up as Piccolo.

I loved the first season. Glad season 2 is out.




Since FunimationNow has some of the Z movies I got bored and decided to watch a couple of them.

I find it hilarious their upload of Dead Zone has subtitles for Head Cha La and Tenkaichi Gohan hardcoded in when their dub lacks both songs.

Also their Tree of Might upload uses the generic Nathan Johnson score but still has the lyrics for Head Cha La and Marutoga pop up.

Does anyone else thinks Sorbe and Shisami could be the same race? Even though Sorbe doesn't seems to have horns (or ears), their eyes and noses are too similar and distinctive.

I wonder what Zeno and Grand Priest think about Elder Kaioshin still hanging around in Universe 7. They seem to treat him on the same level of reverence as Shin and let them sit beside one another in the box, but do they understand and make concessions because of what happened with him and the Z-Sword? If they find out about Grand Kaioshin manifesting in Buu's body, things might get complicated. I believe the theory that Buu's massacre of the lesser Kaioshin led to the hierarchy being streamlined, which is why only one Kaioshin represents each universe in the Tournament of Power.

It would have been cool if Boo was disqualified during the ToP for being part kaioshin. Better than him being asleep again.

If there is ever a top 2 I hope that's where they go.
It's lucky they'd be a man' down and if he was dqed
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

Is it me or most of the "Non worthy" post could make awesome threads that would be better than the constant barrage of dullness we get?

Still on my DBZ JP rewatch. The slow pacing is tearing me apart, but Kikuchi's masterful work keeps me going and I plan to finish it.
I finished Cell arc yesterday . Surprisingly I enjoyed it more than Freeza arc. I say "surprisingly" because before the rewatch I found it to be the worst DBZ arc.

Unmei no Hi: Tamashi tai Tamashi playing during Gohan's SSJ2 transformation really elevates what is already a great scene. Good music always makes the difference.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Also the good thing about original japanese DBZ is all the seiyuu being at their peak doing the voice of the characters we love.

I would definitely encourage people to create new, unique threads! Try it out. If no-one responds, no-one responds. But I bet you're going to get a different audience checking it out than you would in just this one thread.

The Dragon Ball Super manga is serialized in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine, which is a monthly publication. It is released on the 21st of each month, barring a Sunday or holiday, in which case it gets moved up to the next available day (which isn't itself a Sunday or a holiday).

So Ultra Ego is Wagamama no Gokui ok I get it for the translation.

But it's a mastering of what ? What is the effect of this transformation ?

For Ultra Instinct it's basically auto reflexe mode on activate but I can't get to grasp what does Ultra Ego do for Vegeta ?

The only thing I get to grasp is that each time he get hit it seems that Vegeta can "heal" and get stronger ? Like Super C-17 in GT.

Maybe they'll expand on it on monday, but as of now it seems to be a neverending well of power. His fighting spirit increases his power and unlike Super 17, who doesn't even need to suffer damage and can only absorb ki, Geets does take damage and his power raises with melee or ki attacks. The taking-damage part isn't crucial to the technique, apparently, he can increase his power by just letting his instincts go wild.

DBZ Kakarot has the Surge ability, all the stats are increased for a limited amount of time. Xenoverse also has something similar when you press L3 and R3 at the same time, and you'll have certain abilities increased depending on the character. This follows a similar principle only time isn't a problem, but his durability.

If UI is auto dodge, then UE is auto power boost.

Thanks! So Super is monthly, while the first series was weekly? Per chapter, I mean.

Also, Super is around 50 pages a chapter, while OG DB was 12-14, IIRC...?

Dragon Ball Super has been a monthly manga series since its inception, yes (whereas Toriyama's original Dragon Ball series was indeed weekly).

The Super page count has greatly increased over time, however. When it began it was about 15 pages, only slightly longer than an original Toriyama Dragon Ball chapter. This grew slightly, and then jumped to 31 pages during the Universe 6 vs. 7 arc. This jumped yet again during the Future Trunks arc to 45 pages per chapter, which is where it still is today.
