Why does everyone have the same face

Why does Krillin have a nose

To be fair Raditz was significantly stronger than Goku when he died. If the dude had survived who knows?

On the other hand Krillin got strong enough to oneshot three Raditz with a year's training.

can we talk about what an unbelievably massive jump in power this is for krillin, or maybe anyone in the history of dragon ball? it would be like if at the start of the buu saga, krillin were several magnitudes stronger than perfect cell. krillin might seriously be operating at a frieza-level growth curve and nobody's bothered to really tap into that yet

i have another theory which states that just hanging out in the woods is the most efficient way to get strong

examples:
goku pre-db became bulletproof
yajirobe was stronger than goku by the time we met him
android 17 spent enough time hanging out in the woods that he got in spitting range of the gods

The faces do generally look distinct.

You can argue the hair helps but that fanart has the hair and it doesn’t help them.

Well, when the wilderness contains dinosaurs as a regular thing, you're gonna get up there pretty much by default the longer you stay there, if you live. There's also a LOT of wild country in Dragonball world. There's a lot of woods to hang out in, lots of weird stuff about. Probably because of all the dinosaurs.

I'm sure a bunch of the b tier cast will get ultra instinct once it gets invalidated by the power creep, even if they have to introduce people for it like they did with super saiyan/trunks

17 was absolutely punching far above his weight limit, he was just cautious and smart about it unlike most characters. His big contributions, like protecting Goku and Vegeta from Jiren's blast, was more about diffusing the situation rather than actively "beating" the blast through raw power.

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.


I feel like a crazy person. In episode 10 of Dragonball Kai (yes I'm rewatching it again, shut up I don't judge you), there's a song that plays when Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan (fail to) execute their plan against Nappa, that I feel like is a very classic DBZ song, but I can't find any record of it or place it. Does anyone know where it's from? It feels iconic to me, but I don't know why or how.

Who on earth would pay $800 for that? Is he a famous comic artist or something?

I've been a bit out of the loop DB-wise since Super ended, but I'd like to know if either Toriyama, Nozawa or Toei made any public statement on the multiple huge audience viewings of the last 2 episodes of DBS in Latin America.

Like sure, they were probably illegal viewings, but for an anime to pull such a humongous feat I have to wonder if it didn't bring a smile to their faces. Specially Nozawa who seems like such a cool lady.

I know they don't, but I mean, at some point during a convention some fan's probably gonna approach Nozawa, Toriyama or someone else from the cast and go "Yo, did you see this" and show them one of the massive audience airings.

Or someone should at least :colbert:

Not especially famous. He's been working on various Teen Titans projects for awhile now, but his style is a bit derivative of Jim Lee and it's kinda hard to make a name for yourself that way. I assume it's on pretty decent paperstock and much larger than you might think, but $800 is whale territory for sure. Not sure why he's just putting it out there instead of taking commissions though. :raise:

Didn't they put out a statement saying they feel that they were definitively illegal and that's the only thing they ever said about them.

They gave this latin market Blanco, that's all the recognition it needed.

Every now and then, when I'm feeling down, I try to find a new one to cheer me up. :3: It's always the crowds chanting Freezer and that moment when they finished the final push and there's a silence, a big gasp/no at Freezer and Goku appearing in the stands before the explosion of celebration for Jiren's defeat.

yeah this is basically accurate. at best they see it as a weird curiosity, at worst they actively don't like the foreign fanbase and want it to gently caress off.

11x17 is A3, so it's pretty big. Kinda overpriced, yeah, but custom art is expensive and value is in the eye of the beholder anyway.

I'm going to miss Zamasu's voice actor (who is James Marsters, right?) He absolutely killed it in these last few episodes. I'd love to see the in studio video of the voice actors during these final few scenes, some really great stuff there.
