I would like Russell Crowe to voice Vegeta for the US dub.

Maybe Vegeta might know how to beat Birusu, even if he's not the one to do it? Or at least he might know what Birusu's possible-weakness may be?

Yup, pretty much. You can't run a ship alone, and you've got to dock some time. I don't want to be on the boat so long that I get sick of the sea.

Maybe sports would work better? I've entered double overtime. I'm in the middle of an extra inning. It's coming downgf to sudden death; that sort of thing.

You know a break may be all yiu need. I've been participating in the online db community for 13 years as well and when I started to feel that way id just put my obessiveness into something else that interested me for awhile. I took a break from probably 2006 until around the time the jump special came out and another one from around 2009 until about a year ago. I came back refreshed again. I also havent rewatched the dbz series since 2009 and db and gt probably since 2006. I am going to rewatch a lot of it after bog comes out and I am sure it will feel new again.

Inspector Vegeta. I like the sound of that.

That may be so. It is possible I just need a break, as it isn't the series or characters at large that I've grown weary with, just the lack of new yet interesting-to-me stuff. I'll see how I'm doing after BOG is over.

same happened to me with One Piece and generally anime and manga in general. I can go open up a browser of the latest chapter but I don't care to read on. I want to be able to care, to feel an emotional investment but I can't.

They'll always be dear to me of course, in that they gave me great enjoyment for years. I'm more partial to Dragon Ball for the nostalgia and only reason I'm interested in it now is because it just got released here, there's Kai, this new movie since 17 years, so the first movie I will be sentient enough to see release - and production of an Ocean dub.

Vegeta knows Birusu, hmmmm.

Perhaps this goes back to the potential Freeza connection. :think:

Maybe Vegeta knows Birusu but never knew how powerful he was. Or he met him but his memory of him was erased. Or he just knows OF him, just like he knows other vague legends that eventually turn out to be true.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Yeah, I guess Vegeta knows a lot because Freeza went on drunken rambles to him as a child before he was beaten.

Let's just hope we don't see a similar Vegeta that was scared for a whole movie.

I don't want him to be scared the whole time. If he's thrown by Birusu's arrival and can't quite handle it, I'd rather see panicked-yet-trying-to-come-up-with-a-plan Vegeta. He's shown preparing to attack something in the current trailer.

I'm still trying to figure out where smiley-face-Vegeta-toy fits in to all this. Is that just him having a bit of an emotional breakdown due to the common-sense-destroying Birusu's pulling off around him?

I've actually started to wonder if it's something similar to that maybe. I mean, Freeza knowing Bils, if he did, certainly creates some issues with his boasts of being the strongest, at first. But...what if they were just claims to begin with? Maybe, when Bils went to sleep, Freeza claimed it was because he killed him. So maybe part of his reputation was bunk to begin with?

Heh I still believe it's Oolong.
And I also want to see the intelligent Vegeta again like on Namek how he was able to fuck over Freezer's plan and steal his Dragonballs.

Vegeta's a beast when he uses his brain instead of his ego; that would be nice to see again.

Get in! Love that Vegeta already knows or at least knows of Birisu, but I do hope they don't make him crap it the entire movie. :|

Yeah they better not. Vegeta needs something that lets him shine in this movie, even if it is something as small as telling Goku how to beat Birisu. I would like to see a SSJ3 Vegeta and a SSJ3 Gogeta though.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Yeah, it makes sense if it's Oolong, notably for the clothes being different than what he wears in the film. We know Vegeta isn't at Bulma's party, Oolong must have seized this opportunity to abuse of Bulma like what he tried at night in the House-Wagon before Yamcha's attack.
