Is the Garlic Jr. saga considered filler?

Post by Dan_the_Rebirth » Tue Jul 12, 2005 10:56 am

well as we all know, the movies dont realy fit into the Dragon Word, because there some facts in the movies they dont compare with the series
and as mutch i know also the 1st Movie: the Deathzone of Garlic Jr dont compere and they are also dont base on the ideas of Akira T. right?

(His name is not "Akira."
Either call him "Akira Toriyama" or simply "Toriyama." You're not on a first-name basis with the man. Show some damn respect.)

Yes the Garlic Junior Saga is a filler.
[/quote]As Chaotix said, that is correct, it's entirely filler.
Also, you should improve your typing skills, as it's a major rule. I am just warning you, before Mike shoves his Gaijin-sized 12 boot up your ass about it.

[/quote]He could even do one better, and show even more respect, by using an honorific.

It isn't an American addition, it's a Toei addition. And I couldn't say what games it's been in, but despite it's status, it is an actual saga from the series, and as such, games that use the series as basis would use that saga. If they had been using the manga as basis however, they would not likely use it.

And as for his name, again, "Akira T." is disrespectful to the man. You don't address your elders by their first names in American culture, as well as other cultures. You address them by their last name, or a title if they are of relation to you (aunt, uncle, etc) in this instance your best, and most useful address of him would be either "Akira Toriyama-sensei," or "Akira Toriyama-sama," and that, much like referencing people you haven't met in your day-to-day life, is the proper way to go about it.

Also, like I said, you would be wise to improve your typing abilities, because Mike (the owner of these forums) does not like people typing like they've just suffered a massive stroke. I say this now, in the hopes that you improve, so you don't get rheemed out by Mike/VegettoEX in the future.

You've got two posts with complete disregard for any kind of correct typing, even aftering being notified by our kind forum members.

When you sign up on this forum, you agree to a certain set of rules, one of them being that you'll type properly in any and all posts. If you don't feel that you're up to following these rules, I'd be more than happy to help you find some crappy forum somewhere where no-one cares how their own site or members are represented :D.
