Guys, I think there's a way to give death meaning again in Dragon Ball again, starting with Super. Have the villian "stronger than buu and frezia", somewhere near the beginning of the series, destroy both the earth dragon balls and the namekian dragon balls. So, what do you guys think?

How about they just go to another universe and have Whis not be there. Easy fix without having to destroy Earth.

Death and Dragon ball just don't mix.

The future timeline begs to differ. So does Planet Vegeta.

Death and Dragon Ball do mix.

It's just that they don't mix when Goku is around.

Actually, death and Dragon Ball mix even when Goku is around.

But what if the villian is stronger than whis and kills him. Actually, that sounds like a bad idea. Whis hasn't gotten any on-screen fights yet. So, how about villian comes, Whis fights villian, plot twist reveals villian can take tge powers of other gods of descruction, so villian takes Whis's time ability and uses it to his/her/it's advantage, winning the fight.

-They could have wished for Vegeta and Nappa's space pods to disappear while they were traveling through space, resulting in them suffocating
-They could have wished for Goku to be cured of his heart disease
-They could have wished for a device to disable the androids, wished to relocate them, or wished for the location of Dr Gero's lab and destroyed it before they were finished being made
-They could have wished to relocate Freeza, Cell, and Babidi to the center of black holes
-They could have wished to relocate Buu's egg to the most remote place in the universe, away from anyone who might wake him up, and then blast Babidi and his space ship to hell
The only one I agree with is possibly the 1st one with Vegeta and Nappa. The main cast's curiosity of their opponents' strength or their ability to get more powerful in the future will always prevent them from making the "sensible" decision.

I wasn't going to post this, because I was only tinkering for my own amusement, but I think this is what I would have been looking for in in a logo.

My tablet's driver failed like 3 minutes into editing, so I just did some basics and didn't bother with trying to make it pretty. Colors could be tweaked and it could be jazzed up with some gradients, highlights, or whatever, but it works well enough as a concept.

That's a really nice looking edit. Great job! I like it better than the actual one.

I like how everything is neatly tied together! The bar running along the bottom to tie the Japanese characters to the English "Super" rather than just having them float there in circles seemingly at random is a nice touch. In my opinion, everything flows and fits nicely together. I can't put my finger on it but something about reminds me GTs logo. I'm not sure what though. :eh:

That's the best logo for the show I've come across so far. Damn good job, TheDevilsCorpse. :clap:

Amazing how people that are probably being paid to do something can't come up with a better logo than fanmade ones.

I don't think a relocation wish can work if the person being relocated does not will it, which is seen when they try to bring Goku back to Earth.
I think Porunga was just obliging Goku's request not to be relocated, but could have relocated him if he wanted to. Reviving someone from the dead is pretty much the same as relocating them, and since people have been surprised after being revived, the dragons obviously don't need their permission.
I don't think they could just wish for a device to deactivate beings stronger than them.
Didn't Gero have a device to deactivate them, and Bulma made one to set off their internal bomb? I see no reason Shenlon couldn't make a similar device.
Relocating Buu's egg may have worked, but they probably felt they could stop the threat without having to collect the dragon balls. As for the space pod wish... that's just too clever. xD
Vegeta and Goku would have insisted on fighting Buu, but Kaioshin could have easily gathered the dragon balls and relocated the egg, or Kibito could have teleported to the egg and relocated it himself, at the risk of being attacked during the brief moment he would have appeared in Babidi's ship.
