I also people get into serious debates on why Goku should be in Smash Bros too.

The worst thing I ever heard was that because goku wasn't Japanese, db should be watched in English for some reason. I also remember that same guy saying that falcouner>>>>>every other composer in history.

Kai is the wrong way to watch the Z part of the story.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Lots of people - "Dragon Ball Z is for grown ups."

Me - "Kikuchi doesn't fit Z"

I changed my ways, to say the least.

I can't remember what people used to say when I was a kid (probably really silly things in the absence of reliable information), but since my return to the series, I saw someone who commented that Super is being animated based on a manga that ran over a decade ago in the early 2000s or something. :crazy:

As for me, well, when returning to the series, I thought the music was a little different to what I had remembered even though I was watching the Funimation dub. So I thought, 'huh, the original dub music was like this?', when in reality it was Kikuchi's score. This led me to uttering the immortally idiotic lines in an argument with someone, 'the Faulconer score is really whimsical in feel, you know? It's great!'. Ooooh how it pains me to admit that. On the plus side, it means I at least recognised the genius of Kikuchi even when I didn't know it was him.

By that logic we should watch it in Saiya-jin language... Toriyama just has to invent the language and then they have to dub the series in it.

All the Namekians' dialogue should be dubbed in Namekian too.

When I was younger I noticed that in BT3 there were GT characters so I thought that since Future Gohan was next to GT Goku, it had to be someone like GT Goten. So I told everyone that GT Goten was in BT3. I don't know how I thought this since HIS NAME IS RIGHT THERE. But... yeah.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're gonna bring it to a close. These kinds of threads whose sole purpose is to disparage other fans don't really have a place here.
