:shock: That. Is. Awesome :clap:

That coloring it spot on! Everything is so detailed and beautiful. The art, the shading, everything. I honestly have no complaints and I hope to be able to get this poster in the future, because that's honestly just...just....amazing :clap:

Considering all the contrived shit of GT and Super, there really isn't any other place I think they can go that's more ridiculous.
I knew someone would say this. :P

Even though some things like SSJ God may seem a little contrived, it didn't seem too forced. I just think that the earthlings have been out of commission a little too long for it not to be jarring to get a super power boost. Shit like Golden Freeza is a good example of it being forced to the point where it's kinda dumb.
Z ain't really innocent either, but with the extreme levels of contrived lately, I'm just waiting to hear "The humans trained in my ROSAT Staff for a couple years and are now super strong after bribing us with loads of food." It'd be contrived, but make sense and not surprise me.
What about improving their techniques to be really dangerous? i mean, like focusing all their power not in actualy getting stronger but but making their attacks deadlier.
From what we saw in Z and in super, it seems like sharpened attacks can be even more effective than for example a kamehameha or a Galick Gun. In the Namek arc, Kuririn/Krillin could have killed Freeza with his kienzan despite being several times weaker than him.

So, why not make them relevant in this way?

I still don't think that they're going to be relevant in battle thought.

To be fair, I also said I hated Naruto the series, so it's not like my post disagrees with your point.
True enough my point was to say you totally can like a show and hate the main character, but not liking a main character is pretty bad. Gon sucked so much til they finally made him do and act interesting in the longest arc of the series. But with characters like Kurapika, Leorio, Killua, Hisoka, and villains like the Troupe, and especially Meruem...The show really made up for a lackluster main character.
I tolerate Goku, but I don't hate him. I find his naivety, immaturity, selfishness (he's not the greatest family man by any means), forgetfulness, and absent-mindedness quite annoying at times, as they do overshadow his good attributes. I don't hate Goku though, I couldn't do that because there are scenes in the franchise where Goku really took my breath away (when he first transformed into a Super Saiyan in the Freeza Arc with the Bruce Falcouner music).

I enjoy the series mainly to see how far the villain would go to damage the good guys. The villains always intrigued me. I also watch it to hold on to false hope that my favorite character would be relevant again but that's besides the point.

Well first off I don't see how the earthlings getting a major power boost would be ANY more contrived than Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, and Trunks' power boosts in Super. They all got massive power boost basically out of nowhere, just like MOST power boosts in the series. To say the saiyans should be allowed to get stupid power boosts but for the other races it's just "too contrived" is ridiculous. Seriously people.

I think Champa should win, setting up the rubber match for the Omniverse Tournament IMO
I dunno. I kinda want baseball master Yamcha to jumps in and save the game. XD

Well, the humans did get stronger than Goku just by training one year with Kami, when Goku trained for three years if i'm not wrong, so you really have a point........

Damn it Toriyama.

Exactly some people believe that only Saiyans should be allowed transformations simply because Toriyama has not given them the entire rainbow yet.

If Yamcha did that then it would be my favourite moment in Super.

Saiyans had transformations since their conception with Goku's Great Ape form. The same with Freeza. Humans have never once been hinted that they can transformed outside of Man Wolf, which is why them getting a 'Super Human' would be contrived.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

Kaioken was such a missed opportunity for them. Kaioken 100 would give them a fighting chance. Rage boost desperation kaioken X1000 would be great to see

But Super Saiyan God came out of nowhere so the point is is that if they can then Namekians and Humans can aslo have a transformation or power up out of nowhere.

We had a Guardian before Kami.

So maybe the old one has been a Super Human

FUNi reveal dub cast for reprising roles. They kept Doc Morgan as narrator! Was the only thing I was worried about in terms of the casting. Also Kid Trunks has a new VA. Alexis Tipton.

Goku's pose is extremely awkward and both his hair and face are too long. Decently drawn aside from that.

Looks like Meredith McCoy is staying as Android 18. Wonder why Trunks is suddenly getting recast, though?

She filled in for Laura Bailey with Gotenks in Xenoverse 1 and 2 so I could see it coming. I guess this means Laura Bailey won't work on Dragon Ball anymore despite other LA actors like Sean and Kyle returning. Maybe they're fast tracking production on it and she can't squeeze it into her schedule but then again, Trunks was the only thing she was doing for FUNi so now that she's not in Super I guess she's no longer reprising her role as him. Very glad that they kept Doc Morgan, he's an awesome narrator who I loved in Kai.

And super saiyan god and blue wasn't' ? Those form were never hinted in the original series so I don't see why we can't give the humans or namekian a transformation whatsoever.

I guess that potentially makes Kai the Final Chapters, whenever it gets released, Laura Bailey's last work as the character

How is Alexis Tipton? I haven't gotten to the Buu arc in Xenoverse so I haven't heard them before

Also I wonder how this will affect Gotenks
Laura and Kara had a good Ten years+ of practice to sync their voices like they do, and they sounded fantastic as of BoG

Super Saiyan God was the most contrived shit bull shit in all of dragonball. Holding hands and gaining a huge powerup will never be okay to me. As much shit as they get, it's much worse than Vegeta and Gohan's. Gohan's power boost wasn't as huge and wasn't instantaneous either. Vegeta trained for months with an angel who trains gods himself so of course he would get much stronger. So after that? I'm willing to accept a random powerup for humans and namekians. Not that it'll ever happen though.

I wonder why both Toonami Asia and Funimation decided to dub this funimation scene.

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.

Most likely scheduling conflicts. Laura Bailey is a highly demanded female VA these days. Much like Troy Baker, she's in everything. It wouldn't surprise if she couldn't find the time to squeeze in voicing Trunks in Super.

EDIT: I had no clue that Kid Trunks VA was recast as early as Xenoverse 1. Look likes she became very busy around that time.

It was Probably just Toei telling them they were allowed to preview that scene in particular for some reason
Only reason I can think of that both dubs would preview this exact one
