In DB episode 46, Goku wrecks two helicopters, each flown by a perv. In the next episode, the pervs are being taken away on stretchers. Both pervs have the same appearance on the stretchers, though. The black guy is nowhere to be seen.

Yamcha and Tenshinhan only appear in movies 3 and 9. I think Chaozu only appears in 3. Kuririn is in every movie except 12.

Chaozu did actually appear in movie 9. I believe he was shown inside with other spectators, like Roshi.

I find it funny that Oolong was in more of the movies(all but 4 of them).

I realised that the British dub isn't great. Well, to me, anyway. Goku's voice really doesn't suit him, compared to Funi's dub.

You just realised that? You really need to go and watch 3GKai's videos about the U.K dub. They're hilarious.

Naruto is an actual serie..
Dragon Ball ended in 1997 with GT.. 1996 with DBZ and 1995 in manga...

Don't you think Dragon Ball have a lot of video game releases for an anime/manga that ended more than 10 years ago?

And Naruto has around 6 every year, it's not fair.

Yes, I think so. But my disappointment lies in that many of the new games are similar.
Granted, we have got some awesome RPGs and stuff, but it's mostly just fighting, and not much emphasis on the actual story.
The Naruto games seem to be more balanced, but maybe I have got it wrong.
And with Dragon Ball Kai and the "renewal" and remasterings of the series and counting that it still hits the top ten of the popularity polls, one would expect developers being more into making Dragon Ball games.
But this is unfortunately not a discussion that fits in this thread.

The deal is DB is done. Nothing else can be done. EVERY game starts off with the same ol 'Raditz arrives on Earth and tells Goku he's a Saiyan' thing. How many more games are we gonna have with re-creations of the Saiyan saga and such?

Naruto is on-going and has the advantage or making a new game based on their latest saga and showcasing the newest characters. DB's most recent games exhausted almost everyone they could have possibly used, including GT characters, movie villians and DB characters. I mean, the only people they have yet to include are Tarble and Hatchyakku. Or have DB Kai make a new movie and put that new villian into the game.

That's because the same game design concepts are being used over and over, they're many different styles they could approach the design of the game with. Hopefully one of these years they'll introduce something unique, I'd love an awesome DB / Z RPG for my 360.

I've come to realize that the majority of DB fans are scared to admit that the dub music is better than the original's. Talk about being illogical...
