Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

If Yamcha has lines in Daima, they could very easily redub him with a female VA given he'll be turned to a child.

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

As in, pleading guilty from the jump means no need for it to even go to court (of course, if he were to hire a defense then it would fly in the face of that). Personally, it's not like I enjoy continuing to state the obvious beyond what's already evident and agreed upon, so I won't bother with it t...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

Yeah the dude is a scumbag, I don't see how any defense of him is possible at this point. If it were just the affair/abortion alone I would maybe consider he is repenting genuinely, but the sexual assault and repeated counts of physical abuse (right down to confiscating her phone and breaking into h...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

I don't think Furuya meant what he said. Seems like an alligator tears apology he wrote up so he could get the minimum punishment. Guy probably wrote it up in the hopes of saving his career and/or getting off with the smallest legal reprisal should his case go to trial. If he had remorse he wouldn't...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

In the case of Yamamoto, Toei fired him so they wouldn’t have to deal with any potential lawsuits. It should go without saying that what Furuya did is infinitely worse, but I don’t know if it’s enough to get him blacklisted in the industry. There have been mangaka who were arrested for sex crimes i...

Re: Furuya Tooru (Yamcha) Admits to Physically Abusing Woman He Had An Affair With

The guy's pretty much a date rapist, physical abuser, adulterer and abused his power dynamic over the woman (who shouldn't have been involved in an extramarital affair but still) to force her to abort their baby. I don't see how there is any defense. People have been fired/terminated over less. If a...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

The narrative would be absolutely bonkers if Cell were still only relative to roughly half of Gohan's full power. Cell openly states that he powered up to a level like Son Gohan, which no doubt refers to his newly attained SSJ2 form, and he even has an identical aura to match - lightning and all. To...

Re: A rebuttal to the defense of the Zamasu arc ending

The arc was a mess with the ridiculously convoluted and paradoxical time travel even prior to the ending, but the ending itself was also bogus. I at least give the anime a very small brownie point for trying to justify Zeno erasing the entire timeline by having Zamasu become one with said timeline i...

Dragon Ball GT: Maximum (My DBGT rewrite fanfiction)

GT sucks and there are a million things I'd sooner recommend, but it does have some good ideas and concepts. To try and make the most of them I wrote a fanfiction improving upon GT and making it a more concrete story that focuses on the new generation. Constructive criticism is welcome. Chapter 1: P...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

That's... almost the opposite of what's being discussed here. The creators wanted an Asian and an Indian from the getgo, and the studio wanted to force them to make it a white and black guy: that's an example of the studio trying to make the movie LESS diverse and not more diverse. Kind of wish you...
