IIRC they said he still can transform he just doesn't need to because it doesn't change anything aside from his hair color.

On the other hand he got bodied by a god so I guess God Power is stronger?

The Old Supreme Kai told Gohan that in order to activate the power up he needs to do 'that super saiyan thing'. Gohan does and he turns mystic without changing hair color. Why are people making my super serious fighting anime inconsistent :qq:

A shorter way to say, "I hope ol' dude pull that poo poo so I can beat on his rear end". Means you wish somebody would do somethin that would piss you off.
Kid 1: Aye, that White kid is gonna dress up as a slave for halloween and come to school like that.

But since Dragonball borrowed from Superman, Superman can borrow from Dragonball.

The effects and the choreography are pretty good; they actually kind of sold the high impact high speed fighting.

The dialogue wasn't as bad as I was expecting, except for Trunks. That kid cannot act. The Androids were fine.

So what's the consensus on the blu ray sets? Kai is great for the trimmed filler but I know it's a 4:3 format. I heard the regular series blu has a wide-screen format so what are people saying is the go to choice?

Most people would say Kai but I like the original in all it's pride and glory. It just depends whether you want original or kai.

Don't get anything of Z that's in 16:9. The series was originally produced and broadcast in 4:3, and every widescreen set has accomplished this widescreening by way of chopping off the top and bottom of the image, leaving a 16:9 image behind. It's the inverse of those old pan-and-scan full screen movie releases.

I loved how every male in the class is absolutely ripped, too. It's like animators had no idea how to draw a "normal" person.

They all also have hilarious voices. Blonde dude immediately gets on Gohan's grill about him being such a nerd when every other dude in class has the most nasally nerdy-rear end voice you've ever heard.

I'm glad someone else agrees with me about the best part of DBZ.

Edit: It's either that or Trunks and Goten dressing up as Mighty Mask.

I loved the high school/Great Saiyaman episodes, as well as the driving school one, the first part of the first Broly movie, basically anything in the series that shows our godlike murder-savant heroes having to interact with society at large and being kinda bad at it.

I loved Gotenks, because he injected something that DBZ had really been lacking for a while: New special moves. I'm probably forgetting one, but I seriously can't think of any move more recent than, like, Goku's teleport Kamehameha by that point. And some of Gotenks' poo poo wasn't even just a beam! Pretty impressive imho

Yeah, very much agreed, the problem is that it gets dragged out a bunch even in Kai and when something is meant to be annoying "ironically", so to speak, it stops being ironic and starts being just genuinely annoying.
