Is this true about the Shenron Times?

Post by mr. satan » Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:47 pm

Here is my story. Years ago, A debate about how strong Kid Buu is came up on a forum I go to. This debate lasted for 10 topics, and spanned well over 2000 posts. After all of that, the debate is still continuing.

One particular debater posted an interview with Akira Toriyama that actualy stated Kid Buu was the strongest. This interview had no opening and no ending. It also had an unknown person named Yamashiro that claimed to have worked with Akira Toriyama and his 3 main editors to introduce Kid Buu. When questioned about where he got the interview, he said it was from the Shenron Times. He would not give which one, or which book of the Daizenshuu it came from. I came upon this site and signed up in the hopes that someone who has all the Shenron Times, and all the Daizenshuus could check to see if this interview even existed, or if it was a total fake. Currently, I am convinced that this interview is fake. However if someone can validate his interview, then I would have final proof of its authenticity.

lol Why do you waste so much time debating Chimera(I can just guess you're that guy from that other forum I visited a wile ago by your name and the fact that you posted in red text(trying to hurt people's eyes, are you? :P ))? It's obvious you're never going to agree. As for that interview, I'd need to see all of it to tell if it's the one I think it is(I remember seeing one that talked about the buu saga and had a part saying something like that). I remember seeing one like it some time ago, but it wasn't from the shenron times, it was something else(I hate when sources get mixed up, maybe you should just not ever trust interviews unless scans are provided).
And ridiculous topics like "who's stronger than who" aren't the sort of topics for this place. This just looks like another dumb "Strongest Buu" topic, which places are better without(I love how it is here, it keeps it from becoming another gamefaqs-like forum like so many others have. lol).

Yes I am the person your talking about. I'm just messing with Chimera. If I let him go on like he does, he will do nothing but spread his flawed logic to everyone he debates with. I did end up not bothering with him for a while, however he PMed me telling me to come back (this was the time when he thought he had enough evidence through a quote from the manga).

There are 2 interviews he used to debate with. One, I believe, was ligit. The other one was given to him by someone he would say. This is why he knows nothing about the interview; I ended up having to tell him the supposed source. I was just hoping that if anyone had all of the Shenron Times, that they could see if this interview existed.

lol I find it funny you think you can use logic on a manga/anime. Some people like you scare me sometimes. DB is just a freaking story, not life itself. Some people like you act like you've made a religion out of it(like there are several ideas that people have made up and since they treat it like it's some religion to them, they'll be like "No matter what, Kid buu must never be the strongest Buu because my beliefs are against it!"). :lol: You can't just bang an oppinion into others' heads. That's why peolpe will never agree on it and why topics people waste so much time with going into every little detail on like the "strongest buu" topics are pointless. I guess doing DB was really taking it's toll on Toriyama when he made the buu saga(Look at dende at the start of it, he's grown up, now go to the end and look at him, he's a kid again. Why? Because DB is just something to entertain people, not treat like a matter of life...), so naturaly it's the most inconsistant. I just find people who take stories so darn seriously funny. If you want the real answer, maybe whatever is the official answer is best. Like somebody here once said:
Mankind fucked up. I can move on with my life rather than spend countless pages discussing that which can be explained by, "Oh yeah Takahashi was really into orange and green ink so we thought it would look cool." Instead of inventing rumors like "Well you see, they're in space so it made their suits look different."
If you want to know about the interview, go find a list of every interview in history somewhere(if there are any :P ). Like I said, I'm pretty sure that one you speak of isn't from the shenron times, though.

This, while seemingly innocent at first post, has turned into a two-way conversation regarding an argument that origated on a totally different board regarding a totally inane conversation.

I don't know where most of my "Shenron Times" are, anymore, and even if I did, I don't read Japanese, and would therefore be unable to tell you if what you're looking for is contained there-in. From what I'm told, nothing like that appears in the "Shenron Times". Perhaps it's somewhere else, but whatever.

REMINDERS TO EVERYONE:
* Type properly, please
* No-one cares who's stronger than who... especially Toriyama-sensei
* Keep your baggage from other boards... on other boards

Locking.
