MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissection! (Updated 3/16/26!)

[Insertclevername]

Since you're doing non manga stuff does that mean you will eventually tackle GT and the TV specials?

I think he might do that stuff after as their own videos. Or during. Who knows considering he just tackled the first feature film.

Not sure about GT at the moment since I haven't even seen all of it. I'm doing the movies mainly because I thought it would be fun to clearly show at what points during the run of the series they were released. Like, for example, Dende's whole introduction as God in DBZ movie 6 long before he gets the job in the series. I also like how DB movie 3 still had Goku as 12 at a time when, in the manga, he had already reached adulthood, so I just like trying to grab on to that perspective of what it must have been like to have been a fan at that time.

The TV specials I've always planned to cover. Bardock does end up very briefly being a "canon immigrant" to borrow a TV Tropes term, so it'd be helpful to cover where he came from. And since I have to cover Trunks: The Story as it's part of the manga, well, might as well lump the TV version in as well, although neither TV special will be considered part of their respective manga arcs, just as, obviously, the movies won't be.

Your reviews are awesome.

Thank you. Glad you found my little neck of the woods.

Now the long, slow wait for the Twenty-Second Tenka'ichi Budoukai arc. Damn.

Aww, come on. I'm going to try to keep it from being a long, slow wait. Then again, history has rather proven me wrong, hasn't it...?

[TheGmGoken]

I also like to say thank you. For the RRA arc review. Finally it got some respect. It's my 3rd maybe fourth favorite. I personally rate it 9/10 but that's still high. .

[Kid Buu]

Can you PM me the image you showed when you mentioned the Cell Arc?

And the picture of Bulma with the gun?

[JulieYBM]

Any length of time is a long, slow wait for that which you love.

Although I am looking forward to your other projects. More Batman? More movies I've never heard of? Have you ever seen Amadeus? That's the sort of film I think you could make a really kickass review about.

Holy crap! You're spitting out these reviews crazy fast! Your job is probably going to change that however... I can't believe you put the Red Ribbon Arc ranking at that place this early in the series. I was also confused on which number was associated with the best as well. Still, your reviews have been great at nitpicking parts of the series I couldn't even bother to because of my bias. Amazing job overall. I can only assume the rest of Dragon Ball is a downward spiral for you, no? I can't wait for your opinions on my two favorite arcs of the series: the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai Arc and the Piccolo Daimao Arc.

Why do I always forget that this exists? (probably because I rarely visit this part of the forum)

Always a nice surprise to visit this thread and find another video or two. Great way to spend 10-or-so minutes!

On your DB Movie One Review, I actually enjoyed this film more than the other two- although I have only seen all three of them once and I was half asleep whilst watching movie 2. I'd take the 10th Anniversary Movie over any of the films, though as it works fairly well as a stand-alone film and it has some of the best animation the franchise has ever seen. However, I still look forward to seeing you rip it apart.

Your reviews are really awesome, you also learn a lot of things, as for that backpack/sack thing, i wouldn`t be to much surprised, with all respect to Mr. Toriyama, he sometimes forgets such stuff.

I'm happy to hear this. =D

[JulieYBM]

My scouter just broke. This is stupendous, almost too good to be true. Hell yes. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the very genre-y aura of the Twenty-Second Tenka'ichi Budoukai.

Very much looking forward to this.

Really missed your videos over the past few months. They're always the perfect length and, for some reason, I always like to watch them before bed.

[Insertclevername]

I really like how your videos are coming out in burst, with cool down periods in between. It's a pace that works really well! It's a lot like television seasons.

As per usual, I'm totally excited for this new arc analysis!

Sweet. I had just rewatched your Red Ribbon Army review the other day. I never really noticed Yamcha's "I'll take them all out" motto was actually done in the Baba Tournament long before the Saibamen fight. Another thing I noticed is that up until the Saiyan arc, Yamcha's generally the arrogant fighter who's luck turns against him. But after that he's generally aware that he's the weakest of the main Z Fighter and has other ways of being useful, such as flying Goku back him. An underrated look at his character development.

That being said, the 22nd Budokai is my least favourite. But still looking forward to your review.

DBD: The 22nd Tenkaichi Budoukai Arc Part 1!

And so Dragon Ball Dissection December begins!

As always, let me know what you think. And there are only three parts for this arc, and the scripts have all been written, so let me know if there's something you think I absolutely CAN'T forget to mention.

And now that I've spent all day on this, it's time to get my pole dancing class. ^_^

[JulieYBM]

Oh wow, great point on the blond Lunch being able to co-exist with the others. I've recognized it before, but never really processed it before.

Argh, the wait is going to kill me.

[Insertclevername]

Likewise, I can't wait until you get to the really good stuff in this arc! I'm interested in what you have to say about Tenshinhan's character as he further develops in this arc. I hear some people find his transition for "bad" to "good" to be kind of jarring but I'd like to see how you feel about it.

Great review. It's awesome to see fans analyze the story without over thinking it. Most people would skip over the similar panels. Also thanks to you I now notice how tall Goku gotten from being 12 to 15(He also skinnier)
