Re: Dragon Soul Book - Looking to Tell Your Story

That's perfect, Ajay. And well-written.

As followup questions, what do you think the Soul of Dragon Ball is, and why is it still so popular after 30 years?

Please PM me your age, in case that's against the guidelines to post here.

Thank you.

Re: Dragon Soul Book - Looking to Tell Your Story

Hey everyone. Today is the last day to send your Dragon Soul story to me! At the very least, say hello and get your name in before the door closes. Then you can submit your story over the weekend. Otherwise it'll be too late. Everyone on the Kanzenshuu staff is welcome to submit a story. No deadline...

Re: Dragon Soul Book - Looking to Tell Your Story

Thanks for your submissions. For anyone else writing a story, I always like to get answers to these two questions. What does Dragon Ball mean to you? What is the Soul of Dragon Ball? You can write about whatever you like, but attempting to answer these questions will usually lead to unique replies t...

Re: Did Dragon Ball popularize the weighted clothing trope?

Is wearing weighted clothes every day actually a realistic way to train, or would that just result in injuries? That depends on what type of training you're doing, how fast you move, where the weights are located, and your range of motion. It is effective, but dangerous, and can lead to long-term p...

Re: Did Dragon Ball popularize the weighted clothing trope?

Was just watching "Master of the Flying Guillotine". The One Armed Boxer's students use weights attached to their legs during jumping exercises. Any martial artists in the crowd? Are weights used in any training exercises? Most of Toriyama's ideas for martial arts come from Martial arts f...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope

Thanks for the praise everyone. For the record, we're not happy with the sound either. But the ocean scene and the sound effects for Trunks were all filmed and recorded by our Second Unit crew, and some things were botched. There was no chance or budget to go re-film them. Why they didn't do ADR wit...
