I HAVE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY

OK I can't keep straight anymore. The US dub has made things too confusing for me by renaming everything. So help me out here: Who is the guy that will cause Beerus to vanish if they die? The old guy, the guy Buu ate/killed, or the short guy?

VVV My bad, thank you.

I said lacks, not cuts. Kai not adapting HIstory of Trunks as an episode of the show was a really weird move when it is canon, as it is based on the manga, and actually really good. Hell, it made Super have to redo a scene for a flashback, with...questionable results. Using a part of Bardock was a really good move though.

History of Trunks and Bardock: the Father of Goku are not movies. I also don't agree with a part of your list, Bojack was an incredibly mediocre movie that should be skipped, and Cooler's Revenge definitely deserves top-ranking. Not Meta-Cooler though, that was lame as hell. Wrath of the Dragon has some really cool moments too, even if it could've used less Goku.

And yeah, once you finish the series, watching Battle of Gods and Resurrection "F" is a must. Both happen after a special, Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return or something like that which also should be watched.

And Super. And the videogames. And the manga. The Dragon Ball train never ends.



Ah, I misread your post then. As for History/Bardock not being movies, they're "Specials" which we didn't get in the main canon of DBZ, which I just lump together with them. They are completely self-inclusive and stand on their own.

Wrath of the Dragon is just a bad movie. There are neat parts stitched together with poo poo strings.

As is, like I said people will have different taste in the films. But generally people agree on the ones that I noted being absolutely skippable should be skipped ( The three Broly Movies especially ).

That's... basically what I said, though? There's a cosmic link between them, and Beerus as a God of Destruction can't exist without a God of Creation to balance him. He'd be gone if the Supreme Kai died, because that guy is the only living one left. If it were the Grand Supreme Kai or the West Supreme Kai or whoever that survived Buu's rampage, Beerus would still be fine. He himself isn't personally linked to the surviving Supreme Kai like Piccolo and Kami were, but that their "positions" as creator god and destroyer god are linked. It's like a cosmic check on the Gods of Destruction to make sure they don't go too far when they destroy things. There weren't multiple Gods of Destruction out there, and Beerus existed before the current Supreme Kai even came into being (Elder Kai was sealed by him, remember), but there always existed someone in the Supreme Kai role while Beerus has been around.

That's why Beerus sealed Old Kai into a sword. He's crafty like that.

The Supreme Kai is basically whoever happens to be wearing the Potara earrings at the time. Wearing even one of them probably qualifies, given how that one scene with Zamasu and the dinosaur humans went.

You could argue that Vegito could have taken up the role, if the Buu saga had gone way differently.

has anyone noticed the plots have become a lot more reactionary since the cell saga. The Z-Warriors aren't actually doing much of their own initiative these days.

They always were reactionary to a degree hell DBZ starts with the most reactionary plot line.

There's only two arcs in the entire series that aren't reactionary really (Red Ribbon and Namek)

if you think about it, the tournaments/finding the dragon balls are the only things dbz characters ever do just because they want to do it

namek only happens because piccolo dies and they need the dragon balls back and the red ribbon stuff is goku finding the dragon balls

I mostly mean that Goku went off to find the Dragon Balls after the tournament on his own reasons and they came up with going to Namek on their own

What problems do you have with it? The translation most def gets better, but even the early stuff was fine to me and good for the tone of the series.

goku wants to train to get stronger to fight strong men. he's never been reactionary because nobody would need to coerce him into fighting them, even if sometimes they do anyways by killing krillin

It feels really poppy and doesn't match the character voices to me. The other translator they had do vol 3 did a lot of Z and her stuff reads much better overall. Though she's probably responsible for Boo the Djinn and Vegerot so ehhh

Huh, never got that far in the Viz translation. Interpreting Majin as Djinn might work, interesting idea, and myself I did always find the Vegeto compound name not working in English being a bit offputting. Kakketa? Kageta?

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


I'm pretty okay with Djinn in place of Majin but if it's a situation where it's clearly originally "Majin Buu", it's Boo the Djinn everytime and it's pretty wordy. Even using Djinn Boo would be better.

controversial opinion: Vegerot is better than Vegetto or his million other spellings because it gets the Vegeta/Kakarott combination across better to non-Japanese readers.

While normally I understand advocating for accuracy...Vegerot is still a really bad sounding name. The "rot" just doesn't flow well from the "Vege" at all.

I did, but Vegeta is pronounced like that in the Latin American dub, so Gogeta would follow.

On that note, said Latin America Gogeta for you all.

My dearest wish for XV2 and/or other Dragon Ball games in the future is a Latin American dub, like the last Saint Seiya game got. These will always be the best voices for me.

They've set up fusion heavily throughout Super with Whis saying Goku and Vegeta would do really well working together and them being all "no way"

It's also set up to probably be Vegito since they de-fused Kibito Kai
