Stopped watching after RoF. Where the gently caress is Mr. Satan to fight for the continual existence of the universe

I liked how every anime latin american dub rerecorded the original japanese opening/ending with spanish lyrics and they were fantastic without fail

I always thought that as long as they kept fighting saiyans would straight up live forever
Like no one knows what an old saiyan looks like because saiyans either die in combat or are still in their prime fighting and winning

I totally forgot what a clusterfuck the Buu saga was what with Babidi and Dabura and evil Vegeta and Mr Satan talking down Buu and the kais and Gotenks and the Z sword and Mystic Gohan and Buu absorbing everyone completely negating all the time spent doing the stupid dance ritual and then kid Buu and it's just a bloated mess

I'm mad Toriyama didn't make Gohan the new protagonist of Dragonball and have him surpass Goku after the Cell saga.

Wasn't this the original intent but then nerds rebelled

So Toriyama basically looked at the character and thought 'it'd be better if he looked exactly like Goku'.

we all rag on how lovely a father goku is but his wife is no shining star of a parent either

it's a wonder gohan turned out so well-adjusted besides his love of goofy poses

Even for a kids cartoon I'd have thought a new form would be the sort of "oh poo poo" moment that'd be better as a surprise.

I remember knowing about Super Saiyan form like a really long time before the show got there in Mexico and it was still an oh poo poo moment that was the talk of the playground the next day when it finally happened

I loved the hell out of this amazing, terrible game. It was so cool to see all these characters we wouldn't have any context for until like five years in the future.

I played the SNES fighting game first, I forget its title but it had Broly and Goku as unlockable characters if during the little intro video you input Up X Down B L Y R A and I remember that entirely from muscle memory
It also had this weird story mode that I guess was the Cell Games saga but there was multiple choice and you could somehow fight Broly I think if you made the right choices?

Also I just discovered I don’t even have to make like a crunchyroll account to watch it on the PS4 and am now watching DBSuper like a normal human being. Kinda distracting when they use italicized japanese honorifics in the subs

Were did this come from.

I mean Videl’s just there to hold Pan and 18 was just there to hold Marron and shave Krillin. Yes I might intentionally have forgotten Bulma who is a lifelong friend of what the third most powerful mortal, wife of the fourth most powerful mortal and in good terms with an angel and thus has some huge pull

EDIT: Also has huge balls of steel

Also man Gohan looks like such a dweeb

Squallege posted:

Then why even mention the ToP

Because I understand the ToP does have women actually fighting and doing cool stuff but currently as far as I’m watching in RoF Videl was there holding a baby and wishing Gohan luck and 18 was there holding a toddler, shaving Krilling and wishing Krillin luck
And yeah at least Bulma’s calling Frieza out and trying to catch Whis’s attention so that’s nice at least

I do appreciate how the arc reminded you that Krillin is straight up the strongest pure human in the show when he chumped most of Frieza’s army with one ki blast

So they forgot about regular red ssg and went with blue for ssgss for both ease of illustrating it on paper and also because blue and orange is like one of the most pleasing color combinations right

Also was Piccolo always meant to sound so old and normal in Japanese? He sounds so different from the latam/english dubs it’s kinda jarring since for the other non-Son characters the voice actors sound super accurate

I just saw someone point this out on Reddit, but no one seems to get really injured in Super. I know it's likely just restrictions of the timeslot, but in DBZ people were getting their arms and legs snapped all the time.

Vegeta only bled the once when fighting Hit, otherwise it’s been nothing but bruises and squiggly or angular lines meant to represent dirt

His hair was always blue in the manga and Toriyama decided that his hair will be blue in the anime now too, so it is blue.

The other Trunks still has purple hair because consistency is hard.

I figures it was just a retcon plus a handy way to tell the two Trunkses apart if three feet extra wasn't enough
I do like how after being more of a background character through most of dbz Bulma is front and center now
And I just saw that Trunks prevented Majin Buu's return because he didn't gently caress around with Dabura and Babidi and that's cool

Blue and orange are complimentary colors. They are opposite of each other on the color wheel. Red/green and yellow/violet are the other two complimentary pairs. You see them used all the time like that in media and things like sports team colors.

Yeah, yeah while orange and slightly redder orange along with fairly tanned skin just looks weird

Man the translators really messed up when they translated ningen into humans instead of the more obvious and logical mortals
