Piccolo is the one that should not change as his outfit is so unique and iconic.

I miss their RoF outfits so much! Why are they gone? Does Yamamuro just not like them? Are they supposed to be only used while Whis' school is in session (are they their "school uniforms"?).

I hope those outfits come back.

That can't be the case as the only "school uniform" is the gi Whis made for Goku. Vegeta's new armor was created specifically for him. Well, of course, that doesn't mean the staff will see it that way. :?

I would argue that the Kame uniform is much more iconic. Doesn't mean it should reappear constantly just because of that. I wouldn't mind if Piccolo maintained his Namekian style of clothes, I just ask for a little variation. It's all boils down to personal taste.

I would love to see Piccolo with his new outfit but I see where he's coming from. Piccolo's outfit is extremely unique to him outside of the moment with Gohan. Goku's outfit has been worn by krillin, yamcha and gohan.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

That's what I think it is; the staff seeing it that way for some reason or another. :?:

Didn't the Namekians wear some variations of his clothes? Piccolo Daimao clothes are also the same with the exception of the cape and turban.

By the way, I think the same of the Kame uniform, but with that one there's much more sentimentalism, which the manga highlights. For example everybody showing up with it at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, out of respect for Kame-Sennin. Those type of things resonate with me.
While with Piccolo there's the Gohan moment which I love although it's destroyed,for me, when Gohan asked for his father clothes before facing Boo.

I consider Piccolo Daimao the same person because he's just a reincarnation. Namekians aren't really that similar imo. Kame uniform does have a lot of sentimentalism. I completely agree. I also liked the Gohan and Piccolo chemistry there. Always thought it was brilliant writing to have Goku's sworn enemy in dragonball have such a positive role in Gohan's life. I just think Goku's outfit is less unique to Goku than Piccolo's clothing are with him. But yeah, I want a change for Piccolo regardless.

I think he's just putting that on his header so that people will ask him about it less.

I don't think we will see Super in the US until next year. Being two years late won't be a bad thing because Funimation will have more time to dub it. At A-Kon last year, they mention that they wanted the dub for Super to be as perfect as possible.

Hmm. A year after the debut seems normal well probably gonna be over a year since they gotta dub it and all. I'm quite used the Japanese cast now so I'm in no rush for a dub yet but it'll be cool if it's finally licensed we can finally start supporting the show.

Random Q but were there any changes on the second Blu-ray box? Or was 5 just an exception?

#5 was the only episode in which the terrible management by Toei actually created an unforgivable mess, so they had to fix it. Fixing bad frames in other episodes is totally not the priority.

They started dubbing Boku no Hero Academia about a month after it aired :cry:

Yamamuro wouldn't have that much power. It's probably a decision made by Morishita Kouzou or Hatano Morio.

Did not know.

Any idea why they would choose to use the old outfits suddenly? They never went backward in Z on them.
