No amount of power-ups can make a fusion succeed. Getting a higher form would only mean the fusion would time out before accomplishing its goal.

SS4 was designed by Nakatsuru, yes, and Toriyama had nothing to do with the writing of GT, but he still did art for it. He designed Goku, Trunks and Pan (so he's completely to blame for Goku's horrible colour-coordination and Trunks' terrible outfit) and he was to blame for Pan not becoming a Super Saiyan. presumably he was expected to draw that too, but never did.

Less importantly, he designed the GT logo.


Her competence is due to that, yes, but not her lack of transformations (it probably contributed though). Super Saiyan alone does not make you competent or important, as Goten and Trunks (especially in GT!) prove.


I guess it looked too fierce on a woman or something? I can't tell either, especially since it's not like it looks any different in Caulifla than it did in any previous Saiyan.

No Pan not going super Saiyan totally Toei going well if she's too strong she can't get saved. Toriyama going he can't draw female super saiyans because they'd be too muscular (until Torotaro drew it and then he went ohhhhh) is a totally separate stupid thing.

There's a lot of stupid with women and Dragonball and Torotaro's one saving grace is that he doesn't have that. His Bra vs Pan fight in dragonball AF was cool.

I imagine it had something to do with not being able to figure out a fitting hair style. Like, take Goku's Super Saiyan hairstyle and stick it on Pan, that poo poo'd look goofy as gently caress. In fact, I'm pretty sure every Super Saiyan has a slightly different hairstyle.

Was funny when pregnant Videl went second hand Super Saiyan.

Also, can't help but picture Bra and Pan being a female version of Goten and Trunks. (and for some reason also picturing the Angry Beavers' little sisters) I forget how much of an age difference there is between them.

Isn't there a Dragonball thing happening in Japan today? Something related to the new Broly movie? I thought I read somewhere that we could potentially be expecting some news or a new trailer or something.

edit: I'm remembering now that it was supposed to be Friday, which I thought today was, but it kind of will be Friday in Japan soon, so maybe just ignore this

Because Toriyama already did it with Minus, and this is adapting both that and the Broly movies.

Still...geez. The movie looks amazing, and I'm hyped for it, but adapting two things I really don't like and that I genuinely think are some of the worst things Dragon Ball created sure puts a damper on that. I'd rather ignore something as good as Jaco ended in loving Minus, but I guess it's happening. Hopefully Toriyama will at least inject a bit of Bardock's original personality here instead of the Minus one, but I heavily doubt it. At least the family angle with the Vegetas, Bardock/Kakarot and Paragus/Broly should be interesting.

To be fair, Minus was set a month before Freezer destroyed Planet Vegeta so there was still possible to cram the Special in continuity.

I should probably read Minus to find out why it's the worst.

I already believe it's bad, just because of the inconsistencies I can see with Goku falling into earth and because it seems to be deleting all the cool saiyan women we saw from the anime special, but I'm curious about how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Least it seems like it isn’t motivated by Goku crying. Not happy about them going with the minus recon. If I recall minus basically makes Goku Superman.

I didn't know Minus was even canon. All I've really seen of it was Goku in Saiyan armor as a child so I thought it was some What-If scenario if he went to Earth but was a bit older.

Nakatsuru!Bardock is actually really cool, since the special never actually tries to sell him as a hero and it's clear that we're following a villain protagonist here, it just so happens that he's facing someone even worse than he is. He never repents or changes, and while he dies happy, it's because he knows the son he didn't give the slightest of a poo poo about before will actually take revenge for him, not because he has a clear heart or something like that. He's a very different PoV character for Dragon Ball, heavily contrasting his son.

Toriyama!Bardock is awful and I'm really not happy to see him here. Ooishi!Bardock is even worse but we can safely ignore Episode of Bardock completely.

I guess it says a lot about Bardock that every writer seems to have their own interpretation of the character and it isn't the main writer that genuinely did him best.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:

Only that part. Goku is several years older in Minus than he was in Bardock: Father of Goku, and Bardock seems to completely lack the psychic powers that actually made the special possible, not to mention how he acts entirely differently than he did in the special. You had to really force it to have both together.

Herms translated the trailer, and it confirms we're retconning the poo poo out of said special. Goku is now the same age as Vegeta instead of several years younger.

Goku was already Superman but Minus makes him even more Superman, yes.

Minus was written by Toriyama so that already gave it canon status by default, but Jaco appearing in Resurrection "F" sealed the deal, since Jaco exists to lead to Minus in the first place (despite Jaco being a much stronger manga than that horrible one-shot).

I never said it would fit perfectly, but one could still assume Bardock getting psychic powers and defying Freezer could happen.

Looking at the trailer again, and is pretty lame every Saiyan use the same armor now, makes everything look so bland.

At least they kind of acknowledge the special







Also, NuBroly got his first SDBH card and he's known as Broly-Br



Thus, he's Broly-Broly :v:

The small cameos from Bardock's gang are neat, I can't imagine they weren't done on purpouse considering Broly's scars reference how he lost in each movie. I don't think they'll actually do anything, but hey, it's a nice callback. I agree on the armour thing as well.

And oh. He's Brazilian Broly.

It’s basically the same thing that happened to Big Boss in Metal Gear

Hm, and being in some frontier planet or whatever, they probably only got news of Freeza's death by the time he was revived.

Which is lol.

But that'd be kinda neat.

Then Future Trunks comes visit and Broly and his dad take him out to Cracker Barrel to thank him for stopping Freeza and his dad, thus ending space tyranny for some years.

Except that they're wearing Freezer's army's new armors, implying they're working for Freezer.

If anything, is more likely Paragus is again, trying to gently caress over Vegeta due King Vegeta loving him over, to begin with.
