I think that the red ribbon/fortune teller before Son Gohan chunk of DB is probably the weakest part of it.

Weird part of the Ocean Group dub - Vegeta finding religion on his death bed and saying to Freeza, "If there is a God, He must be good for letting me live long enough to see this day."

My favorite part about Beerus is all of the absurdly self confident characters like Vegeta and Freeza who were reconned into being terrified of him.

Golden Freeza making GBS threads himself mid-fight when he realizes he might have disrupted Catman's tea time was a great part of RoF.

I don't think it has to be a retcon. There's a ton of people who talk mad poo poo until someone better actually shows up.

"Vegeta is super-confident until he gets fuckin' terrified by someone he thinks is stronger than he is" is pretty common. He only talked poo poo to Frieza when he thought he could handle him.

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.

Wouldn't that make Vegeta a coward? Someone who acts tough until he realizes he's outclassed?

Shaking my head that there are people that not only don't think the Red Ribbon arc is the most fun part of Dragonball but that it's one of the worst despite being the last part before it stopped being 75% gags until loving Buu and Battle of the Gods.

I think it was Whis who said Vegeta's problem is he gets too frustrated to think properly when things go south or take too long. So that sounds about right.

Too bad he gets dunked on too quickly for that to matter in all his big fights.

Apropos of nothing, I only realised today that Vegeta's Ocean Group VA (Brian Drummond) also did the Char Aznable expy they had in Gundam Wing. Come to think of it, those were the two "big" anime series that Cartoon Network had around the same time. Definitely the only two I was really into.

Has me thinking, I heard Bleach ended recently and I know Naruto ended about a year ago. I'm aware that One Piece is still chugging along and it's getting close to its twentieth year of continuous publication (which is pretty impressive). Those were the Big 3 shonen series for so long, what's come up to replace them? Or is it just "One Piece and everything else"?

When Dragon Ball / Z were at the peak of their popularity, were they the big fish or were there other series in the genre that were comparably popular alongside them, like One Piece/Naruto/Bleach.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
In Japan it was One Piece and then every thing else.

In the West it was Naruto and everything else. I dunno about them in Europe and other Asian countries.


For Dragonball Togashi's stuff was around but it didn't do DB numbers.

I think Brian Drummond's voice fits the character Vegeta is up until the end of the Freeza saga, then Christopher Sabat suits the character for the Androids onwards better.

The Funi dub was just bad impressions of the Ocean dub. Maybe it got better over time, but then I switched to Japanese and never looked back.

No. I hate Nozawa's Gohan a lot, too. She can do Goku, Goten, Turles, Black, Bardock, Guilmon, fat sandwich chasing Samurai with a Beldum in Pokemon, and that 100+ yearold chick that dresses like a hobag in One Piece, but gently caress her Gohan.
