Does Vegeta have any wildly wrong dub names like how Goku is called Zero in one?
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Well Vegeta apparently has a sir name. Breigh, don't know where that turned up.

Thanks! That's exactly a nice little bit of trivia that I needed.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Vegeta's surname being "Breigh" is a rumour, allegedly from the Funimation dub of the Trunks special, but in actuality, it isn't; it's just a kind of stupid rumour that's been making the rounds for no particular reason.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Oh shit that's really cool looking. Where'd you find it? Who drew it? I need some information about this.

It was used as a promotional shot for movie 12. It may have aired with a commercial on TV at the time. I found it on a Japanese streaming service from Bandai Channel.

Something I always wonder? Does Imperfect Cell have to eat normal food outside of human absorption? I never saw him eat food as he has a mouth. But he doesn't eat or drink the stuff. Just uses his tail to suck people up. No offense? :eh:

I wouldn't call it wildly wrong, it's short for zero intelligence.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Does anyone know where I can get Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Complete Collection 2 for a reasonable price? I know this isn't Dragon Ball related, but I really need to know.

No, he is part Namekian. So he wouldn't get any substance out of it. But I do imagine that adsorbing people does constitute as food for him.

Interesting how this "beta" art is better than anything Super have ever produced.

How ironic then that I would consider his Beta art to be flat out inferior to his current color design. Also, better than any design Super has produced? Come on Zamasu and Merged Zamasu are leagues above this color design.

I disagree. Zamasu and Merged Zamasu are alright, but I think Yamamuro's older content in any of his designs are much better.

I'm not just talking about "beta" Janemba, but the promotional art as a whole, it was really nice

Eh different strokes for different folks. I consider Janemba's design as a whole to be pretty ugly, with his only redeeming quality being the sexy, sexy color palette

I mean it's pretty much a finished product from a movie so I'm not surprised.

What exactly is the rationale of Gohan not being taught how to go Super Saiyan during the three-year training?

The out-of-universe explanation is that at the time Mr.Toriyama still valued Super Saiyan enough not have a Super Saiyan bargain sale. I wonder if he wasn't "forced" to scrap the Androids (both of the pairs!) and come up with Cell; how many SSJ we would have today and how many iterations of the form...

The in-universe explanation is probably Goku's selfishness. At the time Goku still didn't care about the next generation. He also didn't need a strong training partner, it turns out Piccolo proved enough to fulfil the quota.
Goku was all about getting himself some killer Androids to play with and he didn't care about much else. This is visible when he knows the heart-virus is kicking in and he still fights #19. Why not tag Piccolo in?
