Oh man I don't know if I want to be the kind of fan who gets involved in a power level debate. I mean we all know Vegetto EX is the strongest character, and that's an end of it.90sDBZ wrote: You raise a good point there about there been lots of different dubs other than the English Z dub.
One thing I'd like to know is what if someone watches the Kai dub? Does that make them a "true fan" in the Official Almighty Unshakable Undebatable Be all End all Book of Anime Fandom aka Penguintruth's mind? Or what if someone watches and enjoys the Funi Kai dub but still prefers their Z dub? Does that make them half a fan?
And also can fans of the Japanese Dragonball anime really be considered 100% true fans of Toriyama's Dragonball if they haven't read one page of Toriyama's own work? Can fans who are mislead by the anime into believing that Goku is stronger than Gohan and that Kid Buu is the strongest Buu and thus end up making these claims in a powerlevel debate really be considered true fans? Or what about people who've read the manga but only in English? Are they lesser fans for not reading the Author's own actual writing?
Also I have question to those of you who watch and prefer the Japanese version. Have you been issued the official certificate of "True fan" from Toriyama himself and will that certificate be revoked if you suddenly decide you prefer the dub?
In all seriousness all of this "true fan" stuff is nonsense. In Penguintruth's mind you'll never be a fan if you don't like his Dragonball. There's no point in banging our heads against a brick wall trying to argue because in actual reality each and every one of us are Dragonball fans simply because the show is called Dragonball and we dedicate our time and wallets to it.

A YouTube channel with no AMVs on it? I know, it's hard to believe.

When last I checked, this is a forum for people who enjoy reading, watching, and/or discussing Dragon Ball. You wouldn't be here otherwise unless you were hoping to troll, which might be preferable to all the members who are squabbling. This is all so divisive. I hesitate at even posting this for fear of fueling the fire.
Let's talk Dragon Ball, folks.
There is no Dragon Ball canon.
