The Joy of Painting was fun to watch, but the real treat was to see the twitch chat playing along and treating the whole thing as a video game being played.

this was my favorite channel on twitch ever, I loved everyone calling out RUINED and SAVED and flipping out when he would just wave his scraper and a mountain would appear. the chat would explode whenever he did the brush-slapping thing and everyone's favorite episode was the Knives Only one where he only used the scraper and no brush

I miss it dearly

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.


Bob Ross was not a super sayian. No, he did not need such tricks. He only needed his stand "Happy Accidents."

Oh, I know about those. I've not watched either of them but know about bits of them (mainly Vegeta singing and dancing at a bingo game from the first one and "SO FREEZA TRAINED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE!" in the second, which is something I especially enjoy); that there's a new series is news to me, though!

Seriously, I was looking at posts there on the last page about "Black Goku" and "Super Saiyan Rose" and I was scratching my head thinking, "Man, I haven't looked at Dragon Ball Multiverse in months!"

Satan is Satan, Videl is an anagram of devil, and Pan is (basically) a satyr.

Gohan means meal or cooked rice, Pan means bread.

We call it a food pun because their names mean something in another language.. but to the Japanese, aren't their names just.. food? Isn't it the equivalent of Gohan's name being Rice in the English version? Or is it a play on the Japanese word for Rice?

The timeline stopped making sense after Toriyama forgot and retconned the poo poo out of it in Super. Bra might not exist anymore, the only thing that she appears in is the epilogue which Toriyama has, deliberately or otherwise (let's not kid ourselves, it's the latter), made completely inconsistent with the show.

And it's Toriyama, so he probably forgot about Bra too. Not like there's a lot of reason to remember her, but hey, she's playable in Fusions and even gets a fusion with Pan.

"Female Warrior With the Strongest Genes", Brapan. She's even shooting her (half-)dad's signature move!

Speaking of Bra, I find it weird what happens in DBM regarding alt-Bra and her parentage. Vegitto straight up leaves chichi and she's okay with it?

I know its a fan fic but still, so weird.

maybe Black's dark-purple aura mixed with normal super saiyan yellow aura and made a rose aura?? It probably is something unique to Black by way of whatever physiology allows him to use Goku's body, using goku's super saiyan, and then pushing himself somehow.

Iunno.

All I know is that I love that they made a villain's super mode aura a very flashy pink. Not as an insult/gay joke or for a girl even. He's just bright pink because he is.

Yeah, i'm on the same boat. Admittedly all I know of Japan is basically anime poo poo but I'm pretty sure they don't call each other by the full name, much less last name. If anything she should request Gohan to call her Sister or something?

From all my anime, it's the younger sibling who never calls the older sibling by name ((o)nii/nee + honorific of choice mostly), but that's not backwards. It doesn't really matter for this, anyways, because it isn't Japanese-made and this is unimportant in comparison of how terrible Bra normally is.

Also "WAAAAH I'M NOT AS STRONG" then transforms is basically the absolute proof Bra is Vegeta's daughter, fusion or not. But this was a terrible lead to that, and a backstory arc about Bra is...yeah, I have no idea why I keep reading Multiverse.

Crabtree posted:

Pink definitely does not have the same meaning in Japan than it does in the west. It's the colour for fallen warriors or something to that extent, I'm not too sure honestly.

Basically, Super erases three years or so from the timeline, causing several events to happen out of order. The most damning of them is that now Pan and Uub were born at around the same time, in fact, Uub was born later. This contradicts the epilogue, since now Pan was born far earlier than she should be. In the epilogue, Pan fights in the children division, Uub in the adult one...but now that doesn't make sense, and in fact, the Tenkaichi Budokai now must happen at some other date to make up for the fact that Gohan left Videl pregnant apparently immediately after graduating from school if that.

What if Uub was born a few minutes after Goku blasts Buu? that'd lead to him being about a year older and fits with them being (just barely) in different categories.
