I watched dbz with my dad when it came out, but I was too young to really understand it so that came later with budokai and the internet

...How young are you? I'm not sure if I'm missing something or you're genuinely making me feel really old here, because I was like, six when I watched this darned anime, thanks to my brother getting me into the stuff he liked. And it was the Androids already at that point, so it was quite the ride.

I remember being in eighth grade and playing Score's DBZ card game and one of the older players outlining the Buu Saga. I had this idea that Goten was insanely powerful and that Gotenks was even more insane. I was also incredibly confused by the vague description of Buu's progression.

I’ll never forget the first super saiyan. The day Goku went super saiyan was the day my parents separated. My mom and myself moved to our apartment and I was sumpremely stressed because it was 30 min before DBZ came on and I asked if we could leave later. I rushed into the apartment hooked up my tv, and didn’t unpack anything else until dbz was over

Dunno about that guy but I'm 22, personally. First time I ever experienced the DBZ story was the Budokai 2 story mode.

I vaguely remember an awareness of dragonball from when I lived in the Philippines, and that was 4 years old at the oldest

I'll never forget growing up with Z. It was the first anime I ever really got into. I remember watching Toonami every night I could to see the latest episode, or watching one of the movies. I specifically remember sneaking off to watch The Tree of Might while we were visiting one of my aunt and uncle's houses. It was too long ago to remember my specific reaction to Super Saiyan, but I'm sure it blew my tiny child mind.

I do specifically remember getting hyped as gently caress over gohan going super saiyan 2 the first time

I loved the hell out of this amazing, terrible game. It was so cool to see all these characters we wouldn't have any context for until like five years in the future.

I played the SNES fighting game first, I forget its title but it had Broly and Goku as unlockable characters if during the little intro video you input Up X Down B L Y R A and I remember that entirely from muscle memory
It also had this weird story mode that I guess was the Cell Games saga but there was multiple choice and you could somehow fight Broly I think if you made the right choices?

Also I just discovered I don’t even have to make like a crunchyroll account to watch it on the PS4 and am now watching DBSuper like a normal human being. Kinda distracting when they use italicized japanese honorifics in the subs

I think that was one of the Super Butodens. I played a ton of those SNES DB games. Hyper Dimension was my jam.

Like what we saw of him in the manga was interesting. It's a shame the anime did not follow that and are kind of making him out as a generic bad guy despite being a Super Hero Team.

Like I have no understanding of why Jiren is part of the Pride Troopers.

Yeah pretty much this. What the hell is Jiren even doing with Toppo and the rest if he

A) doesn’t like them
B) doesn’t trust them
C) thinks they’re weak

Why did he help Dyspo earlier? What the gently caress was that meditation thing all about?

It’s like they had a character in mind then scrapped him to turn him into standard garbage idiot

I mean Videl’s just there to hold Pan and 18 was just there to hold Marron and shave Krillin. Yes I might intentionally have forgotten Bulma who is a lifelong friend of what the third most powerful mortal, wife of the fourth most powerful mortal and in good terms with an angel and thus has some huge pull

EDIT: Also has huge balls of steel

Also man Gohan looks like such a dweeb

Jiren is an Ok antagonist (not villain) but he doesn;t work as part of the pride troopers.
Ever since 4-5 eps ago i get the idea that they got the announcement for the hiatus/end a few eps too late and are rushing through things.

Remember how 3 episodes ago Jiren was all disappointed in Toppo and we thought it was because he didn't like how Toppo sacrificed his ideals for power or w/e but no turns out he's just mad Toppo didn't punch hard enough.

jiren seemed like he'd be interesting but for some reason they just took a hard left into the most boring explanation for his behavior possible.
