This makes how many Satans that Goku and pals have fought now?

None? He's his son's father in law and an incredibly brave and respectable man who was instrumental on stopping a terrible demon

Perhaps the same could be

some of this actually rules, more interesting takes on tuffle baby parasites by taking over U6 saiyans, weird alternate universe god-killing bojack, HOWEVER they have Hit throw a generic purple energy blast and Hit doesn't use energy blasts. 0/10

I like the Twins, they feel a lot like the Androids turned up to 11. Also, its a goddamn travesty that Vegeta didn't continue wearing that outfit because its loving rad, especially with the normal Super Saiyan color scheme.

Not gonna lie it'd be fun to see an arc where Goku and Vegeta just keep getting the DOGSHIT beaten out of them with an endless stream of Super Saiyan drains, anti-spirit bombs, magic bullshit, and plain old raw beatdowns

I want to see Moro winning rapidly simply because Goku and Vegeta just keep getting curbstomped while trying to tie their heads around ways to defeat him that isn't just maximized transformations

If this was ten years earlier, vegeta would have literally died rather than learn the fusion dance

tbf that's not just Geets' problem. After Goku introduces the dance, everyone from Piccolo to Krillin to the kids act like it's so awful/embarrassing it might as well involve touching dicks. Toxic masculinity abounds in DBZ (at least in the Buu saga)

If everyone treated it like it was cool you could reverse peer pressure Vegeta being the one to always wanna fuse. Not that, outside of dudes acting weird - in fairness, it kind of is a really weird thing to merge your bodies and soul with someone else. Like this isn't even sex, its literally becoming some kind of Toriyama Chronenburg fighter. The silly dance isn't exactly what creeps them out.

I need some help. I started getting into Dragon Ball again a while back, and finished the Dragon Ball Super anime a few weeks ago. Where do I go now? There's the manga with Moro that seems like it's the "canon" story? There's this strange Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime. That's promotional material for a game, right? And while looking this up, I also found a youtube video translating an apparently different manga where they focused on the 6 universes that Zeno erased before the ToP, and those were back, and Frieza was the GoD of one of them, and they were apparently led by the Grand Priestess, who's the mother of the angels, and they all want to kill Zeno? Was that some hoax or something? I'm really confused.

If you haven't watched the Broly movie that's the immediate follow-up to Super, then it's the manga with the Moro stuff. Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a spin-off based on a game, it's multiverse garbage. The thing you mentioned in spoilers sounds like fanfiction.

Apparently we should be getting new animated Super stuff eventually, but Toei hasn't announced a date, it's just one of those insider news that has been making the rounds.

I think a lot of it is pride; both Goku and Vegeta take deep pride in their strength and skill on their own merits, and don't like the idea of basically someone else being able to take the credit for a victory. Of course, it might depend on how the fusion works and feels. (and of course, this is something Steven Universe took and ran with)

And the joke is definitely that the fusion dance is extremely silly.

I saw some fanart recently that made me think you can definitely do a realistic Goku hair if you tone it down a little.



So with that debacle solved there's no obstacles left to a good DBZ movie.

The real problem with a real life DBZ movie is, what the gently caress would the plot be?

That's right, what would be a movie-runtime dragonball z plot that is not burdened with poo poo you'd have to know from arcs upon arcs of character building and minor points

Hair is like The Thing that's iconic for Dragonball as a series so I don't think there should be compromises made on it. The series just does not work well in live action.

A very truncated version of up to the Piccolo saga of the manga with an attempt to resemble Western society where the manga portrayed old Eastern society, to weird results.

Probably just start like Z, with Goku being just really strong guy who had a kid and made a few friends over the years, leading up to the fight with Vegeta. Probably can just stick a flashback to Goku vs Piccolo to show why it a big deal he turning good.

It took them five movies to finally make a Spider-Man movie that didn't have his origins in it and that's a character with 60 years of existence. Give dragon ball a couple more decades before they can start with the in media res

The real issue is establishing the titular Dragon Balls without them being the focus of the movie. Maybe you just do Raditz Saga but it's Vegeta instead and he's trying to do his Namek thing before Namek?
