Re: Does Toriyama regret the racist caricatures he included

The closest answer we'd get is if it was his idea to redesign Officer Black in Path to Power. A shame because I quite like Commander Black as an antagonist, his reaction to Commander Red wanting to wish to be taller will always be hilarious to me and he's even a half way decent martial artist. For ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread

If they don't change the meditation scene, this manga and Dragon Ball Super as a whole are pretty much dead to me.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I wonder if Toriyama made Dragon Ball's final time skip 10 years long because that's how long Dragon Ball was serialised for? :think:

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I think the movie is just fine, it's simply the whiney babies who want every movie to be like the Broly movie. DBS Broly is the best Dragon Ball has ever looked in motion, but somehow fans are in the wrong for wanting more of that? Meanhwile making Super Hero CGI was quite simply an objectively bad...

Toyotarou's character bias is so blatantly obvious sometimes :lol: Krillin gets wrecked by a robot wasp meanwhile Piccolo puts up a better fight against Gamma 2 than he did in the movie.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

One last thing, this film's name is fucking stupid. From the man who gave us Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, you're surprised we'd get a name like Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero? He probably gave the title that redundancy on purpose. I swear sometimes some fans can't take a gag lightly I know I'm bei...

I'm confused by the bolded statement existing in the same paragraph as all of the italicized fanservice. I meant what I said insofar as satisfying fans with anything of genuine substance or value.

No need to explain the missing text since there was no explanation. So instead of pretending something was retcon'd when it was never officially said/shown, I take what the story gives the audience. Bro, when you have to make up fan theories about Beerus and Whis training in secret, I don't think y...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread

My God at this point I just want Dragon Ball Super in its entirety to end. Every time it gets some momentum and some hype from the larger portion of the fanbase it squanders it every single time. Case in point this arc... what the hell is the point? Who asked for a manga recap of a movie most Dragon...

Re: Feeling dissillussioned about this fandom

When a fanbase receives controversial content its toxicity definitely rises, as those who are fine with the content clash with those who don't like it. In the Dragon Ball fanbase we currently have: Toyotarou's DBS Manga: people don't like that it coes out monthly, aren't fans of his artwork, hate th...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 82 - Official Discussion Thread

This fandom is so obsessed with power ups, transformations and the like. It’s the most boring aspect of the series because you can find transformations and power ups in every popular manga. The characters in this series are uniquely dragonball’s and you can’t find them elsewhere. Shouldn’t the obvi...

I wrote after it's cancellation. Just look at the yearly financial reports from TOEI after the anime ended. Yeah... that was after the anime brought the property back to the forefront of the public consciousness lol, that's what anime series are designed to do, that's why Toei made DB Kai after Tor...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

That's the thing though. Nappa doesn't just look tough, Goku directly confirms it so it's not a gag. I re-read the fight and Nappa trades blows with Goku for an impressive 1 panel (So much wow) in total. Reducing their whole fight to that panel is honestly silly. Strange, you accuse others of "...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

According to the Daizenshuu Piccolo (3500) vs Nappa (4000) Piccolo gets one shotted by Nappa twice Nappa (4000) vs Goku (8000+) Goku and Nappa fight as near equals Nappa's PL of 4000 has always seemed dumb to me, I always thought 6000+ works better for him and the number 6 just sounds strong in Jap...

I would most certainly have forgotten about that by now, if it weren't for people still talking about it. I don't think it's going to happen, I doubt even Toei themselves remember that line. By the way, how old is that line? Five? Six years? To be fair it took Super eight years to follow up on the ...
