I want to see the Nyoi-bo return. I want to see a swordsman have an even fight with an unarmed combatant. I want Beerus to use more pressure points like he did in the movie. I want Piccolo to freaking stretch like he did a million years ago and then forgot about.
Sorry to shoot one of your complaints in the knee, but Piccolo used his stretched arm against Frost in the Interuniversal Tournament only a few months ago.
I'm not current with Super. I was having a hard time adapting to the Japanese voices, so my solution was to go back to the beginning and rewatch the whole series in Japanese from scratch.

Therefore I'm trying to stay away from Super spoilers, but it is good to hear that technique has finally returned. It only took 20 or so years for Piccolo to remember he could do that.
Sorry for that, I forget that not everyone is caught up. At least I didn't give away anything too major.

Sean has left social media, well twitter at least. Due to everyone tweeting him constantly about Super totally understandable getting so much tweets where you can't say a thing.

No more hints from Sean then like he gave us Buu Kai hints. Sucks but what can you do. I hope Sean comes back one day he was actually quite interactive with fans.

I've been re-watching some Hokuto No Ken, and some of that BGM could really fit in the Dragon Ball franchise. Likewise, some of Kikuchi's stuff could fit in magnificently in Hokuto No Ken.
Note: Hokuto No Ken's fantastic.

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.

Does going SSJ make you feel really hot (temperature wise)?

I'd imagine so matches with the whole rage thing. Also I guess SSGSS would be the opposite.

How short should Vegeta be? Goku himself isn't exactly a giant, I think of him as 5'10. Crossing six feet would be too much for a guy like Goku IMO. And Vegeta should be quite a bit shorter than Goku. So like, 5'5 or even 5'3 for Vegeta. I feel like he and Bulma should be the same height.

Goku is 175 cm or 5'9"
Vegeta is 165 cm or 5'5"

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

My head world has a weird system of height. Mobians (those of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise) average 3'08" depending on species and gender, but 3'09" is more than a realistic inch higher, but sometimes, say 6'04" isn't much higher than 6'03".

The reason I mention this is because my fanfic Goku is 6'01" if my memory serves, and I put Vegeta at 5'06". Which is most likely completely disproportionate as compared to their realistic heights, but that's how I do it. :P

... Now back on-topic.

Ok, just one last question, if you happen to know the answer. At which episodes did this theme play in the end of the series (eg., eps-57-64)? I am only guessing, by the way. :D

How tall do you guys picture Piccolo than? His height can vary tremendously.

His father was depicted being able to fit Tenshinhan's head into his palm. Piccolo Jr. should be shorter than that. Cell couldn't naturally fit in the time machine and is portrayed taller (Evil Boo, too) than him, so I wager he's in the seven foot range. That makes him tall enough to tower over everyone, but short enough to compare to Cell and Boo, while they simultaneously don't replicate Piccolo Daimao's stature too closely. I think one of the guidebooks confirm his official height. There's also plenty of height charts around.

Moving around Columbus, Ohio. Anyone know of some good comic stores, or any other places where I might be able to drop by and get some DB nick-nacks?
