Unpopular DB opinions

[Ssjcell]

Base Saiyans by the cell games are way more powerful than namek frieza just if you consider context in the manga and anime it's there I mean ss2 Goku fights with kid Buu and Kuririn and yamcha are above pikkon

[8000 Saiyan]

Funny enough in my opinion with Kai Funimation got rid of MOST of the worst ones (Nadolny, Vollmer, and Young).

Mcfarland is okay in my opinion. The ones I wanted to see go

Eric Vale as Trunks

Sean Schemmel as King King

Sonny Strait as Krillin (he still sounds like fucking Jimbo from South Park)

Chris Sabat as Piccolo (it’s waaaay better than even his remastered Z dub era Piccolo but it still sounds too close to Vegeta. Wish they could have gotten Scott Mcneil)


Everyone else was fine

I don't know why, but this made me laugh.

His Vegeta and Piccolo sound like they have the same actor, but they definitely sound like two distinct characters

Strait's Kuririn does NOT sound like Jimbo at all, at least hasn't for well over a decade. In fact, it's more or less his natural voice. He intentionally depened it for that reason

I agree about Schemmel's Goku, but don't agree about McFarland.

Vale would be fine if he dropped the unnatural rasp.

You mean King Kai.

[ABED]

Don't tell me what I mean... just kidding. Yeah, I absolutely agree about his Kaio-sama. It's attrocious and it doesn't matter how good an actor he could become, that voice is unsalvagable.

[MasenkoHA]

Probably because it never stopped being a piss poor imitation of David Ward’s King Kai

It's Don Brown who voiced Ocean King Kai. Dave Ward voiced Ox-King.

[Robo4900]

TBH, when doing Kai, Funimation really should have just done what Ocean did, and re-audition everyone, being totally unafraid of recasting anybody in any role.

That's all anime filler. SSJ2 Goku vs Kid Buu, Kururin and Yamcha and their portrayal, it isn't relevant to the actual continuity because it is just filler.

I know but it's good filler that's what toei wanted I feel like AT approves all filler there's other examples I haven't list (I've mentioned it in another recent post in the in universe section)

[RecolorSaiyan]

A lot(not all) of gohan fans hate vegeta not because of the character he is but more so because gohan lost all relevance in this franchise while vegeta gets to stay highly relevant. its misplaced anger/jealousy over another character "taking his role"

No, AT didn't approve Z filler. It is just Toei garbage they threw together that makes no sense whatsoever

Some of the filler is garbage, some of it is not.

Goku and Piccolo learning how to drive was awesome!

[ABED]

The driving episode is one of the most overrated things in DB.

[MasenkoHA]

The driving episode is one of the most overrated things in DB.

Agreed. It’s not the worst example of filler by any means but it’s not a very good episode and I’m always baffled when fans try to cite this as one of those top notch episodes Kai is missing out on for not having.

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

The Super dub isn't that bad when you ignore the added jokes. I'm irritated by them as much as the next person but the criticisms that its as bad as what Saban did in the 90s when they were making the characters up as they go along are a bit much.

[MasenkoHA]

Fixed it for you. Saban was not writing the scripts. Funimation was producing the show and writing the scripts. All Saban did was get the show on tv and told Funimation what they weren’t allowed to do as well as produce a new score per Funimation’s request

Your right, production was all Funimation. Regardless their scripts now are still far superior to what they wrote back then.

[MasenkoHA]

Probably helps they get actual translations and Barry Watson and Christopher Neel are no longer with the company

At least from what I understand they used to get horribly translated scripts from Toei.

You mean the Engrish scripts from Toei? The ones that have atrocious quality?

[Jackalope89]

In all honesty, back then, a lot of anime had some bad translations or outright changes. Some, simply products of the time. Others, made you wonder WHY it was made (an episode of Pokemon called a riceball a doughnut, of all things).
