We saw Toei attempt to do this by bringing Garlic Jr. back for the anime and later rewriting Broly to fit him in Super. With that said, how would you write the villains into the main series? You have to maintain some core elements of their backstory and motivations, but can flesh out their...

We all know Si Xing Long's first form alone blew all previous Evil Dragons out of the water, but what if he fought all those previous dragons at once? Scenario 1 - All Dragons start off in the forms they were introduced in (ie. Wu Xing Long in his smaller form and Qi Xing Long in his mole...

So, it's safe to say that almost everyone is in agreement of Goku's characterisation in Super being a poor representation of who he was in DB and Z. It's more to him than simply being dumb and only caring about a good fight, however, as we'll get into now. Son Goku The first underlying problem...

Following my analysis of Goku's character, it's time to focus on his most consistent rival. I'll put the idea of continuing Goku's character in Super on-hold, since that topic may be best to add Vegeta to the mix. Part 1 - Early history and Saiyan Arc Unlike Goku, where he could be analysed...

So, after re-evaluating several parts of the manga, I've come to the conclusion that the character writing for its protagonist is a lot better than I previously gave him credit for, even for his commonly criticised portrayal in the Cell and Boo Arcs. I'll be using this thread to explain why...

So, given some new revisions that have come to GT's standing recently, I thought it was worth making a comprehensive respect thread. Part #1 - Why Continuity Matters It goes without saying that GT follows the anime's continuity (beyond some elements of scaling in the Boo Arc) with such aspects...

It goes without saying Super had plenty of ideas that were bad from the start such as stripping permanent repercussions away from all arcs but the Future Trunks Arc by taking place prior to Z's ending or future timelines making it apparent the Moro Arc was a story that should be impossible to...

So, upon revisiting the section of the manga focusing on the Genki-Dama and coming across an interesting video discussing DB's writing style for character focus, it got me thinking about the most common fan complaint for the Boo Arc - Goku becoming the main character ruining the themes of the...

TPM Qui-Gon and RotS Obi-Wan Intel: Normal (Obi-Wan has near full intel on Qui-Gon, whereas Jinn only knows Obi-Wan's capabilities from his days as Jinn's Padawan). Fight takes place on Mustafar at the area Kenobi started his duel with Vader, the starting distance being the same. It's most...

It goes without saying that Dragon Ball is a flawed series filled with many plot holes, contrivances, character inconsistencies and numerous retcons. Still, it must also have a fair amount of positives to keep us interested in it for so long (assuming it's not just nostalgia that keeps you...

Yes, yet another of those age old topics revived, though one of the few that isn't beating a dead horse. Simply put, how strong are they and why? First, it's best to look over the main arguments for and against their strength, those being: - Gero's calculation (Gero + Suppressed Piccolo +...

Maul somehow convinces Dooku to betray Palpatine and the two take him on. How does this battle take place? All characters are from at the time of the events of the comic Son of Dathomir and Sidious is armed with both his lightsabers. If the duo are unable to match Sidious, add in Ventress.

GT had quite a few problems as a sequel (albeit, nowhere near as many as Super). That said, which would you say was the most damaging? Some of the main ones include: * Not giving the spotlight to characters other than Goku outside of jobber battles. * Tonal problems in trying to capture...

Simply put, which character would you say tends to be top tier in most DB games? For fairness, we'll exclude both versions of Gogeta, since he's overpowered in any game he's in and will only be talking about the main console games from Budokai to FighterZ. On average, I'd probably say Piccolo...

As something different from the typical power debates, let's look at the two components of Ki usually overlooked compared to Genki. What cases of Shouki (right-mindeness) and Yuuki (courage) from the original manga would you say affected a fight? I'd say Nappa VS Goku was a definite example of...

For all the flak GT gets, it has received some minor appreciation in recent years (mainly when being compared to how badly Super handled things) and has some level of nostalgia for many. That said, what do you consider the best moments of GT? Feel free to just mention one or make a list of them...

To an extent, this also applies for Freeza Arc Saiyans, Trunks and Goten, though I'll treat the U6 Saiyans as the main focus due to them being the ones the following is addressed for: We learn from Cabba that the Saiyans of his universe evolved to lose their tails somewhat attempting to answer...

Challenged by GreatSaiyaman123 to do the best I could in cobbling together scouter numbers for a period of the franchise they really weren't designed for. Son Goku Saga Son Goku ~ Full power - 20 ~ Hungry - 15 ~ Very tired - 10 ~ Oozaru - 100 ~ No tail - 16 Bulma - 4 Pteranodon - 8 Umigame...

So, after some discussion, a new set of rules has been established when it comes to Versus topics that should hopefully help some areas of discussion to become less stale or make specifications easier. 1. No overly one-sided matchups - Pretty evident. There's not much to discuss for a matchup...
