Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I would post "Kuririn is the strongest Earthling (and thus stronger than Tenshinhan)" but that's an established fact, not an opinion. Still, it's flabbergasting that it's so unpopular. Or maybe most people don't care, and there's simply a willfully ignorant portion of Tenshinhan's fanbase that's very outspoken.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
To be fair the manga says a lot of things that whenever people bring it up in an argument, people say "but ...", so doing that in this case is not really any more illegitimate.Kaboom wrote:I would post "Kuririn is the strongest Earthling (and thus stronger than Tenshinhan)" but that's an established fact, not an opinion.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I think this is more a case of a memetic meme overblown out of proportion (Kuririn getting killed/owned) that overshadows facts (Kuririn IS a very strong dude, not Saiyan level of power but still strong nonetheless).Kaboom wrote:Still, it's flabbergasting that it's so unpopular.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Krillin is only established in the manga as stronger in a indirect comment by Yamcha that doesn't even mention Tenshinhan, so, although it is there, the manga does not make it very clear. In fact, for anyone not paying close attention, the most natural assumption/interpretation is that Tenshinhan is stronger,, going by the fact that Tenshinhan starts out as stronger than Krillin, going by the fact that it's not made clear when Krillin surpasses him, going by the way Tenshinhan acts and Krillin acts, going by what Tenshinhan does combat-wise in the Cell and Buu sagas compared to Krillin, and going by the fact that Tenshinhan kept training while Krillin didn't, so it doesn't surprise me at all that Krillin being stronger is unpopular.Kaboom wrote:I would post "Kuririn is the strongest Earthling (and thus stronger than Tenshinhan)" but that's an established fact, not an opinion.

Who was the one who stalled Cell for a good duration?
Tien.
What did Krillin do against Cell?
A failed Destructo Disk.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
TBF, the Destructo Disk scene was filler. Even if it did succeed at cutting Cell, I doubt it would have killed him. He would have either combined the two pieces, regenerate his lower half, or floated away like Freeza did.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Ha, I always like Ten more than Krillin. He is a great contrast to Goku because he is just so serious all the way through the whole series. While Piccolo and Vegeta are fairly serious, they become parodies of themselves during the Buu arc. Ten doesn't play around and toy with people like Vegeta and Piccolo, he's all business and I think that contrast is a great, underutilized characteristic. We have plenty of other characters like Krillin that are funny and more easy-going and I don't think we need more of that. Tenshinhan is cool.
Krillin couldn't even touch Cell in his 2nd form.

I'd throw the 22nd in there as well, especially the anime which the anime basically was ahead of Toriyama in design choices; we later saw these styles in the manga in the 23rd arc but was apparent in the anime version of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.*i think that the 23rd budokai tenkaichi/saiyans saga character design was the best
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

While his acting was better in Kai, I still prefer the voice Eric Vale used for Trunks in Z.

I enjoyed the filler with Ginyu stealing Bulma's body. That was hilarious.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I don't notice bad art when it's only a few frames long. In the case of Super, I didn't even notice anything wrong during the dreaded episode five. Only when it's like the beginning of Goku's Namek fight with Freeza, where even the designs of characters and the background look ugly as shit thus making every single frame of animation look ugly do I notice bad art. But for me, it seems that if the general designs are good, I do not notice a few frames when they're in motion.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
Not sure how alone i am on this one but i will drop this here.
While its kind of premature to judge but so far...
The Black/Zamasu arc in Dragonball Super is better than the Cell/Android arc.
It feels like the Android arc we could have gotten in DB if Toriyama was not forced to change it halfway through. At least something similar to it.
It does not have plot holes that plagued the Cell arc. Heck most of the bad stuff in the Black/Zamasu arc is a consequence of it having to follow two terrible retellings of the movies arcs witch were not good by any stretch, as well as a just okay tournament arc witch felt kind of sloppy. Also the at times sub par animation that shifts wildly in quality depending on the episode.
However the last time i felt this invested and interested to see what would happen next was during the Freeza arc.
Even the slow pacing that people complain about will probably be a non issue once the arc is done since you can just watch all the episodes back to back.
Even if this Arc had perfect pacing people would still find it slow since one episode of DBS is released per week. This arc having some mysteries and leaving questions unanswered is probably something that most fans are not used to.
