Re: Should the supporting cast be more useful again?
I've been over how terrible Piccolo's treatment was in that episode several time, so I'd rather not just repeat myself about how that's BS. If I may be so bold as to say so, I think your reply here perhaps encapsulates why you're vexing yourself on this. Your response is emotional; it demonstrates ...

Re: Should the supporting cast be more useful again?
Yeah. He fought one round and lost. Good job bro. You're SOOO useful. -_- Besides, I expected him to be there. The thing is I actually expected him to win one instead of losing immediately. Well, it's much implied that he would have won due to his smarts, not his power, if not for the fact that Fro...

Re: Bandai Namco New Dragon Ball Project 2016
I'm going to assume this is what we've all been long expecting - the inevitable Xenoverse sequel.
Props to Bandai Namco for the really well thought-out and purposeful promo site!

Re: Should the supporting cast be more useful again?
I dunno, I think that Super has done an okay job of deploying the ensemble cast. Who'd have suspected priorly that Piccolo would have fought in the Universe 6 tournament? Or that Tenshinhan and Master Roshi would have fought with Freeza's army? Or that Jaco's eyesight could have made him such a usef...

Re: Is Beerus Stronger Than We All Thought?
I think Beerus sits within a moving God ceiling that Toriyama plans to scale upwards regardless of how strong Goku and Vegeta seem to grow. The recent comments that he made about not planning for Goku and Vegeta to surpass Whis and Beerus will make for an interesting shake-up if he sees them through...

Re: How strong is Muten Roshi currently?
Whilst it is true that his appearance in RoF came with quotes from Toriyama that implied that he had been training, and was indeed stronger than before, it's also worth mentioning that the composition of Freeza's army was stated as being a total hodgepodge. The idea of the horde was to provide all o...

Re: Why Demigra is the worst Dragon Ball Villain.
I think Demigra made for a good villain within the convoluted remit of the game, but I think it would be hard to reverse engineer him into a TV anime with a less flexible narrative than a semi Role-Playing-Game. I think that the last thing we need in Dragonball Super is more regurgitation - the idea...

Re: Who was the one stronger than Goku that Beerus fought?
I guess it all comes down to what Beerus meant when he said 'fight'.
I mean, does he truly regard his brotherly scraps with Champa as being serious fights? I get the impression that even if multiple worlds were destroyed the crossfire, it doesn't really phase a God of Destruction.

Re: Official Announcement Thread & Discussion
Well, I take everything back I said ever.
I thought the 'future character' drop in the Toyotaro interview was too obvious to be Future Trunks, but I guess that's on me for being cynical and old and second-guessing myself.

Re: Why is Broly popular?
'Broli' is a more literal romanisation, and as has been said, ports the 'i' from Broccol(i), That said, 'Broly' is also phonetically competent and has precedent in official romanisations - from both inside and out of Japan - so it really comes down to preference. No one should be pulling anyone up f...

Re: Kanzenshuu Members Grade DB Super By Arcs!
Battle of Gods Arc: 43% Plot Originality: 20% Poor. Some departure from Battle of Gods, but largely superficial differences. Essentially, the arc dragged a sub-2 hour film out across 12 episodes - this made for awful pacing and a poor dramatic spectacle. Script Strength: 30% There were some fun epi...

Re: Instant Transmission Vs. Time Skip
I think Hugo is just referring to a state where Hit is fighting to kill. As long as he's not doing that, his attacks and overall fighting ability are watered down. That mode actually sounds cool now that I think about it. Yeah, I assumed as much - I just wanted to pick up on that before it escalate...

Re: Instant Transmission Vs. Time Skip
I guess it would be pretty useful If Hit had used his assassin mode, but perhaps they are saving this move to the twelve-universes tournament. Have I missed something? Are you referring to the fact that he notes that unless fighting with lethal intent, he feels inhibited? To call that 'assassin mod...

Re: Can you see Super airing on Toonami and doing well?
The internet said the same thing about Kai and that garnered the best ratings Toonami has ever gotten since it relaunched. I guess we have to be aware that there is the nostalgia-play to factor into that. I mean, Kai is just a re-framing of a show that a lot of the faithful grew up watching. I'm no...

Re: Why is Broly popular?
I've tried to rationalise this a number of times. I think that he encapsulates a raw, cut-down caricature of what Dragonball Z is to a lot of people - " epic " fights and superlative battles. Broly is what you end up with when you strip away everything from a Dragonball villain - every mot...

There's literally nothing to be seen here.
