Is it true that Toriyama now hates DragonBall?

Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Hm...it's been awhile now, I believe I was promised a scan of Lucifer from Sand Land... :evil: Now you've gone and got Beezlebub mad.

Sorry, Dues, I meant to talk to you about that. I tried sending you the scan twice and both times, your mail administrator sent it back. I don't know why. :( Perhaps I can e-mail it to VegettoEX and he can post it up here on the forums? I'll try and see what I can do anyway.

I thought Beelzebub's dad WAS Dabura, since Dabura is king of the demon world and Beelzebub is a prince. I assume the flame is actually a spirit that's acting as a booklight. And he is reading Faust. :D

Actually, the Japanese version refers to him as "Satan," although Viz's version calls him "Lucifer" (presumably because saying "the great Satan" would look inappropriate).

But! =raises finger= Maybe Satan is simply the name men know him by, whereas Dabura is his true name. Babidi, being a magician, was able to find out Satan's true name. And knowing his true name was the way he gained power over him.

I actually can't remember if Babidi explains how he gets to controlling the king of the demon world. :P

Maybe Babidi offered him a lifetime's supply of "horn polisher". :P

He can easily control the evil in people's hearts. So, Dabura was an easy target. That's why he picks to go after Vegeta when they later arrive on earth. Seeing as he wasn't pure evil (and he was full of pride), Vegeta was able to use Babidi like 10 cent whore and move on.

Toei: Want an action figure made in your likeness?

Dabura: Hell yeah! What do I have to do?

Toei: Appear in a comic and anime, and then die.

Dabura: Hell yeah!

Toei: You have to be killed by a chubby pink retard and be bossed around by a wrinkled old man alien wizard thing.

Dabura: Aww why?

Toei: CUZ WE GIEV U CAEK LORL!

Dabura: Hell yeah!

LOL!

That was comedy gold.
To DBZ fans anyway.

Anyway, I only remember seeing the English version and just having Dabura appear, introduced as king of the demon world or whatever...and kicking ass. For like 3 episodes, anyway.

And let me stop derailing yet another thread.
