Hmm now youtubers are linking people to Toshio's twitter. I hope he doesn't get bombarded with so many questions (especially idiotic ones) that he stops talking to fans altogether. He's a humble guy who likes interacting but some fans can be annoying and may even get him in some trouble if he slips something too big by accident...

Uh oh. That doesn't sound good. I just don't want the guy to be bombarded with tweets that are toxic and calling him an idiot or something like that.

He already is. I took my time to observe his Twitter and some social medias/forums. People are bothering him with random questions already. Spanish and Brazilian people are also in the mix.

Although I praise him for his patience, Toshio really should start to consider leaving Twitter when things gets out of control (because it will, eventually).

LOL, it's bad enough people are sending him tweets in english when he's Japanese and doesn't speak english too well, but spanish people are sending him tweets in spanish? :lol:

Are these people really dumb? Do they not understand Japanese people barely speak any other language aside from some english?

NO NO aannd NO. 17 has the charisma and he stands out as a character. can't help you if you can't see it.
None of that means he's charismatic, simply that he is popular. And please, show me this charisma of his. The only time he breaks out of his bland monotone voice (He's borderline fucking robotic) is when he's having a panic attack over the fact someone managed to punch him
LOL very true. 17's voice in the English and Japanese dub is so damn monotone. Charisma? Are we going to just throw words out there now?
didn't know you had to be shouting all the time to be charismatic but ok lol i needed the salt for my fries anyway.

Honestly a lot of these spanish (I guess everyone from South America?) countries spamming twitters or youtube or whatever has got to stop.

I know DBZ was very popular in Latin America, but I don't know who these guys think they are that they go attack writers and think they own the franchise. Do all these spanish fans act like this?

I think when most people hear the word charismatic put to someone, it usually gives them a vision of someone that is universally likable. Charming, and has a wide appeal. In this case, both in-universe and out of universe. I guess Goku would be a good example of this. A lot of people like him both in universe and out.

So It's understandable where people are coming from when they are a little confused that Charismatic is a word associated with 17. It's certainly a label I've never would have given him personally.

They're creating a lot of DB content which relies on clickbaits, voice-over and impossible theories. So don't expect too much from them.

And no, I am not generalising. Sad but true.

I meant it as his presence is remarkable and as a character he imposes himself.

And who said you had to shout? I've been saying that 17 exhibits no traits associated with charisma aside from being confident. Glados from Portal has charisma, and her robotic voice is always talking about how much she hates the player and their life choices. You could try actually reading these posts if you want to understand what I'm saying. Also, I've learned that mining your own salt isn't good for the fries.

Hes a cool dude. I know in that other thread I shit on him a bit but this tournament is making him cool again. I like how hes more human in contrast to his sister.

TBH, #17 is for me just more boring version of Vegeta. I don't really understand that hype associated with him but, whatever.

He better tell everyone that he's not answering any questions regarding the current arc and beyond
Things are going to get worse from what I'm looking at.

Re: Vegeta

I'll be happy to and want to be proven wrong. I know it's just a matter of waiting it out. He's already doing better than he was back in February, so there's that.

Anyone know if there's any break weeks in August? I recall there being some around this time and September last year.

People are legit using his tweets to prove their points and arguments eventhough Toshio says he can't confirm anything and he's just stating his opinion, he also said that he doesn't express himself really well in english so his tweets can get misconstructed, i just hope he doesn't get in trouble ! i legit adore the guy.

The Spanish fanbase (especially the Latin American one) is one of the most volatile fandoms of Dragon Ball, and some of them think they're superior to other fanbases. Obviously not all of us are like that, but is sadly the reality of the situation.
