I get the impression that, over there, only hardcore otaku buy anime DVDs/BDs, and people who only watch it casually never does even if it's cheap (unlike manga which is more widely bought) and that's why they try to squeeze as much as they can.

Toei Animation announced on Friday that voice actor Naoki Tatsuta will temporarily replace Jouji Yanami as both North Kaiō and the Narrator in the Dragon Ball Super television anime series. Tatsuta is replacing Yanami so that Yanami can undergo medical treatment. The announcement did not specify the reason for the treatment. Tatsuta will replace Yanami starting with the show's 12th episode, which will air on September 27.

Welp, there he goes :smith:

Speaking of being able to pick up on things easily, in reading DB for the first time, I'm at one of the tournaments and everyone is just whipping out Kamehamehas like they're nothing. Even Tien gives it a whirl. Roshi is freaking out when he thinks Goku is going to try to block at Dodon Ray with a Kamehameha, and he's saying the Kamehameha will never work against certain people.. Did they just give up on that angle as time went on and make the Kamehameha the end-all-be-all of super attacks?

That was because Tien had previously reflected Yamcha's kamehameha, right?



So it wasn't that the kamehameha wasn't an effective attack, it's just that with specific opponents it's not going to do any good, think of androids 19 and 20 for other example.

I haven't played Xenoverse but I saw "The Best of TFS Gaming Vol. 6" yesterday and I believe the last part is them playing exactly that mission you're talking about :

Apparently it is really, really, REALLY, easy to figure out according to vegeta. (you probably need to have high ki and the more ki the easier.)

I liked that Vegeta still didn't fully trust this new skill in Namek, I recall a part where he's chasing Gohan who runs to hide and when he's about to blow up the area to make him come out a big fish or something splashes in the water and Vegeta believes that must be the thing he sensed.

We're watching Dragonball for the first time, and we just finished the episode where Yamcha gets his rear end kicked by that mummy. It all goes downhill from there. (I grew up watching DBZ but he's never seen any of it. This is great!)

I'd say that started from the very first tournament.

TFS has already stated outright that they aren't going to do anything beyond the Buu saga. No GT, no Battle of Gods, and no Resurrection F.

A single DBGT Abridged episode using the DB Kai Abridged treatment could work, in my opinion. Then again, that means they'd have to go over almost every episode to look for usable footage and I don't see that happening.

Shin Budoki - Another Road plays around with the Buu Saga by having Trunks go grab all the Z Fighters to come help him deal with Babidi.

But Babidi needed energy from strong warriors to wake Buu up, bringing the Z Fighters is literally the worst thing he could do :psyduck:

This has been bothering me for a while, why does he get shorter? Trunks is noticeably taller when he comes out of the hypersonic lion tamer because of a year worth of ageing, but he shrinks back to (and adopts the old hairstyle of) pre-crying chamber when he shows up in heroes and xenoverse.

Nah, he's already like that in his final appearance:



And he doesn't really look taller after spending a year in the hyperglycemic crime chamber:

Are Bulma and Krillin directly talking about General Blue being gay in the original Japanese? I have to wonder if Krillin's line in this translation is some attempt to cover up the, uh, fairly homophobic depiction of Blue as a character.

I dunno about the original line but in the spanish translation he says "I didn't know there were gay guys in the Red Ribbon army".

Personally I prefer Vegeta this way, the alternative would be continuing his cycle of forgetting/learning to be humble in every single arc, but I agree they should sparse his wacky moments a bit more.

Evil purification is non-canon. Canon is keeping your body, being reincarnated, or going to hell. Just like Chinese belief which DBZ cribs from.

They purify the soul before reincarnating it, though. Vegeta actually asks Piccolo what will happen to his soul before his sacrifice and he says that. It's what happened to Buu's after all.

Can't speak for the other DB movies but besides some really weird changes from the canon, Mystical Adventure is an awesome movie.

First one is kind of bland but I liked Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle too, it's basically Goku and co. beat a Dragon Quest dungeon.

How many cell games fillers were there? I know the two eps where goku and gohan meet Mercenary Tao and Commander Red.

If I remember correctly that's the only filler story arc there (that wasn't Commander Red by the way, just some rich guy that hired Tao) but there are more filler scenes like the army attacking Cell, Krillin throwing that rock at Goku or Cell training in space.

Goku didn't go around murdering all those Red Ribbon soldiers, he mostly knocked them out in one hit leaving them with a funny face, he actually was shocked and prayed for forgiveness when he thought he had killed Metallitron when he blew his head because he didn't realize he was a robot. He doesn't care when dealing with demons, less so when said demons killed Krillin, of course.

on the other hand, one thing I think is really good about goku returning to main character status is that vegeta got to complete his character arc by finally admitting to himself that goku is stronger and that's ok.
