I'm pretty sure that's only a thing because of the games, but yeah it's kinda weird. Does anyone who knows about the Japanese versions of those games know what his title is over there?

I've been shotgunning DBZ lately, and good lord, is it just me or did Videl's dub VA phone in about 90% of her lines? Well, at least until Spopovich started crushing her skull, that is.

Best part is that it'll get you past some of the worst episodes of the series (though Nappa and Vegeta is where it really clicked for me). bladeworksmaster posted:I'm a fan of The Scream Heard Round the Universe myself.

One of my favorite things in DBZ Abridged is after Zarbon piledrives Vegeta into the ground at the end of their first fight. Vegeta gets out of the lake and chokes out "WHY DID I EXPLODE?". The little jokes like that are hilarious to me. I've never seen Cooler's Revenge, but his fifth form kind of irks me. It's established that Freeza's fourth form is his 'true' form, right? Unlike the rest of the villains in DBZ, it's established Freeza's transformations are power downs instead of power ups. So why does Cooler have a fifth form that is more powerful than his fourth? Is he basically a super Cooler in the fifth form? I'm asking because I've never seen it and maybe they explain it in the movie, but that tidbit never really sat well with me since it's a direct contradiction to Freeza's tranformations.

I have a question of my own but it's related to TFS. In this scene with the "was he never there to begin with?" and the music and stuff, is that a reference to anything?

I couldn't say if the Japanese version clarifies it better but right before he transforms in the English dub, he says Frieza "always had the edge" as in he was naturally stronger than Cooler, but Cooler "found" a fifth form. Dragonball Multiverse, which takes some liberties with movie and anime-only stuff, says that Cooler actually gave a poo poo and trained. This allows him to maintain his original form all the time, whereas Frieza and Cold had to power down because they couldn't control their own power, because they're not really fighters, they're just naturally absurdly powerful. As a result, Cooler discovered an ascended form. I like to think that's pretty close to the truth, because it actually makes some semblance of sense out of the plot of a DBZ movie.

His 5th form is a powerup that no one other than him knew. The CCG says his base form is actually his third form.  Jump stated that he doesn't have lower forms like Frieza and can control his power freely in his base form.

Silver2195 posted:Actually, while the current king is clearly preferable to, say, Piccolo or Black, we're never presented with much evidence that he's the best man for the job. By the time of the Cell Saga, he's the only person around who seems to remember Goku or Piccolo. Basically he's the only non-retarded person on the planet so he might as well be in charge. quote:[*]The way the "water of the gods" is described makes it sound like it made Goku as strong as he could ever be, but his training with God almost immediately afterwards made him stronger than that. Am I missing something here? It's no different than how Guru released Gohan's potential then Gohan kept powering up against Freeza. or how Gohan released all of his power and became SSJ2. Or then how his potential was unlocked even more by Old Kai. It's just shounen BS.

The one woman in all of budokai that I can remember made it through the ranks through her secret powerful martial art of taking her clothes off. The bar for women in dragonball was never set particularly high, but I don't think anyone reads a silly-rear end 80s fightmans manga for its commentary on contemporary feminism in Japan.

I mean, Bulma was pretty important in the beginning of the show...sort of? I mean she was sexualized six ways to Sunday but she was the most competent of the bunch through up til say the 22nd Tournament

I remember the announcer being really sad for Videl when she did that, because it was against the rules. That's pretty messed up.
