Future Trunks was very pragmatic in battle. And being pragmatic in Dragon Ball can make you the deadliest fighter in the universe. Freeza just didn't expect Trunks to attack him with his back turned.
So pragmatic that he sacrificed all of his speed so that he could hit a guy harder.

He was new to that stuff. Give him a break!

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Anyway, as for the topic I am with Hellspawn28 on wanting a live action DB movie, to this day I still hope we do (well another one lol with someone who actually cares deeply for the franchise, like how a Marvel Spider-man film will be 10x better than a Sony one, if given creative control)
Sony's talking about giving us a grown-up, or even married, Spider-Man. Seeing that in Captain America 3 and Civil War would bring a smirk to my face. While I doubt they'd unmask him or give him a daughter, if they do, they can't sweep it the way the comics did.

Anyway, I always thought pink was the natural choice of hair color for a transformation that truly went beyond Super Saiyan (because of New Agey shit about ascending colors nstuff). I also prefer Goku's regular hairstyle to his Super Saiyan one. So...I never saw Super Saiyan God coming, but at least it *looks* good.

And speaking of daughters, I always thought a Super Saiyan fetus was the logical progression from the Goten and kid Trunks bullshit, but with the saving grace of being absurd.

Toriyama producing new material for the series... boy did that backfire.

Dimps returning to the video games, Dragon Ball coming to PC, new video game stories and a more in depth character creator... all happened with the same game. :o

Oh Dimps, truly you are great.

Vegeta in awkward/ridiculous situations in BOG was like a really belated present--I enjoyed it, but if it'd come out back when I was still a relative newbie to the franchise I would've loved it. That was right down younger!me's alley.

Gokû's ssjg, however--when I heard there would be a new movie, I was really hoping that Gokû would get a special movie-only magical power-up curtsey of the "mystery lady" in the far back of the poster (who turned out to be Whis). There's no way I could've guessed on the looks though. All the transformations so far have been big and powerful-looking; this one's small, magenta, and sparkles! (I love it.)
I was also thinking a new dougi that would look kinda greek god-ish prior to the ssjg's appearance reveal. The only new outfit part we got were those cute red ribbons on the boots.

As soon as I advanced far enough into the manga for Raditz to reveal that Gokū was a Saiyajin, I wanted some background on that, more specifically, Toriyama-sensei-written background, especially regarding Gokū's and Raditz's parents and any other potential family they might have had. Dragon Ball Minus made my dream come true.

I've also wanted to learn about Vegeta's and Nappa's origins for a long time, but that never particularly happened, other than a few small details on Vegeta's childhood in Minus and BoG.

The son of Katatz who later split into Kami-sama and Piccolo-Daimaō always fascinated me in how shrouded in mystery his former existence was. I still really want to know exactly how his story went, from his departure from Namekku to his splitting into the two aforementioned beings and what took place immediately afterward.

Well, I wanted a complete Ocean dub of the series and it seemed like I was going to get that in the form of a Kai dub but alas... that doesn't seem to be getting released anymore.

Overall there isn't really much I want/wanted from this franchise that isn't already out there. BoG was a nice surprise I admit but it wasn't something I necessarily hoped for, same goes for the original announcement of DB Kai. I honestly just assumed the franchise was put to bed at that point minus a few games and merchandising here and there.

I really, really wanted a movie or new saga where Frieza returns. I think you can all imagine why I registered to Kanzenshuu upon the announcement of a certain upcoming film.

The look in Frieza's eyes while Vegeta is holding him by the neck will be one to remember.

When the battle ends this is what Vegeta should say to him :

"It wasn't easy to do Frieza,it took years of training and determination,luckily I had both,you're feeling it now aren't you,what I had to live with everyday,don't worry I won't kill you,you deserve worse then that,in all the years to come in you're most privet moments I want you to remember the one Saiyan who beat you"

Nothing. Nothing has ever happened. That's pretty much the point.

After this long, it's unlikely it'll ever see the light of day.

It's not even officially announced in any capacity.

Will Piccolo be Oliver in this scenario? At least he can grow his arm back.

Battle of Gods, Jaco, Minus, and what I've seen of revival of F.

Jaco wasn't exactly bad but below my expectations of Toriyama.

When playing the Budokai series I remember thinking "Wouldn't it be cool if you had more freedom and could move all over the stage?"
Then the Sparking!/Tenkaichi series did exactly that. While the game is definitely not without its flaws, Tenkaichi 3 is still the closest thing to my dream Dragon Ball game.
