What Would You Have Added/Changed?

Post by Kuririn Of Orin » Wed Jan 25, 2012 11:54 am

Okiedokie as you all know, DragonBall is an amazing series, but I think Toriyama could have written a few extra things in, or expanded on some stuff. For example, this is only filler but remember the whole LaunchxTenshinhan thing that was going on around the Saiyan Arc? I believe it should have been expanded on further on in the series, even if it was only filler. I wish we got to see Launchs reaction to being told Tenshinhan was dead (if she even was which she probably wasn't). I can just think of the endless possibilities.

Another thing I've been thinking about also has to do with Tenshinhan. Tenshinhan never forgave Vegeta (probably did around the end of the Cell Arc), it would have been nice to get a little more serious with that, and for their relationship to be further explored. Speaking of Vegeta, what about his rivalry with Cui... I would have atleast liked a few flash backs during the Namek saga about that....

Sorry if a topic like this has already been written, if it has I was unaware.

I would love nothing more than a special or movie about Vegeta's life in Frieza's army. TOEI, I WILL GIVE YOU ALL OF MY MONEY.

Yeah... maybe so.

I would have liked to see a more developed story about the relationship between Goku x Chichi and Vegeta x Bulma. We don't know what happened there :lol: .
Toriyama himself says that he doesn't like writing love stories (if i remember correctly) :oops: .

They never went far with Tenshinhan in DBZ. They should have. He's my favourite. I made a manga at school, in class (when I should have been working), that had Vegeta vs Ten about this exact same thing. (I drew it all with a mouse and it looks damn good for paint)
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

You should post it in the Fan-Created Works section if you still have it.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Or something about Saiyan race and their conquest of Plane Plant. But I don't have engough money so I assume I must rely on fanfics:)

Yajirobe wouldn't have been retired so soon after being introduced he got one arc before he got sidelined. Tenshinhan at least got two.

Yajirobe got a good hole until the Saiyans saga and a few cameos in the following, not much different from Tenshinhan.

I probably would prefer if Tenshinhan or Kuririn stayed dead insteaf of being useless for the rest of the story.

Krillin stayed pretty prominent/useful throughout the series, even if it was mainly a support role.

Toying with cell and almost getting the earth blown up. Toying with super buu and getting gotenks absorbed instead of not even letting them fuse.

Well, he didn't knew Boo could absorb them... and Boo was also toying with Gohan, otherwise he would have absorbed before Gotenks.

His personality took a 180 from the form, I see no inherent stupidity from either situation.

It's no worse than what Goku and Vegeta have done. He'd recently transformed into a Super Saiyan 2 after having seen his friends get the shit beaten out of them because of Cell, so it's no wonder he'd want to return the pain they'd recieved many times over. It's comparable to Goku's transformation into a Super Saiyan for the first time, where he deliberately let Freeza reach 100% just so he could see the strongest in the universe at full power before asserting his superiority over him by defeating him.

And he wasn't really "toying" with Boo. Yeah, sure, he probably could've finished him off instantly with one hit, but that would've been boring for the audience and, again, it's no worse than what other characters would've done. Gohan had only landed a couple of hits on Boo before he decided to self-destruct, and when he returned, he challenged the kids again, which led to Gotenks and Piccolo's absorption. But yeah, letting the kids merge when he knew that they'd failed before and Piccolo voiced his suspicions was pretty stupid. Although he didn't know Boo could absorb them.

But you know, he's only human. It's nothing compared to the massively idiotic decisions Goku and Vegeta have done.

Still, why would you let them fuse? Buu wasnt toying with him. He flatout states after absorbing gotenks that nobodys power should have been greater than mine and he absorbed gotenks so that he could have someone to challenge.

Stupidity is probably the wrong word. Inexperienced.

This is Gohan we're talking about. He's been battling aliens on other planets for years, he has experience.

My main wish would be for Gohan to be the hero of the Boo Arc... but I love Vegetto and the Kid Boo Arc as well D:

I don't really have any other wishes I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe just another Arc about Makai or some training with Oob.

Also I'm positive he does tell the boys to stay out of it and not fuse but they just don't listen to him.

Comparatively with the other Z-Fighters, he's pretty damn inexperienced.

Anyway, Gohan being the hero at the end of Buu arc would have been cool. Making it so Piccolo & the Earthlings aren't so irrelevant in the later arcs would certainly be a priority too.
