I assumed the implication was that Orange Piccolo was due to Shen-Long's upgrade. He grants Piccolo's initial potential unlock, but then tells him he granted "something extra". The fact Shen-Long needed an upgrade in the first place implies even the basic potential unlock was beyond his power...
Late on this, but there's some dialogue discussion going on that Piccolo and Gohan both seem to agree that neither Goku nor Vegeta could have defeated Cell Max. Hard to tell for sure without more context, but from what I'm gathering, this seems to be implied at some point, though that could...
The first time I remember watching anything Dragon Ball related was in the early nineties. We had something called the Harmony Gold dub (I of course didn't know this at the time), which was only available in Philly and Detroit. Goku was named Zero and all the other names were different. They...
Don't know if anyone has seen the clip but Gohan kills Cell Max with the Beam Canon to the head. It blows a hole in Cell's dome, but most of the head is actually intact. Then he's dead. 98% of the body remains, so while I think he does have some regeneration, it's nowhere near the level of...
Sorry, I missed this up until now.
I've been writing since I was 13. The only book I wrote was young adult/urban fantasy, though I mostly wrote horror until then. I think I needed a breath of fresh air and wanted to write something more safe and mainstream.
Interview with Toriyama about the movie. The most interesting part is that he reveals he forgot the show was named Dragon Ball: Super, which is why Super appears twice in the title. :alex2
To be fair, for all the dumb stuff that seems to have been included in this, at least we can say that a new form has finally defeated a main villain. That hasn't been the case since, what? SSJ2 Gohan defeating SPC? The streak is over at last.
Dende upgrades Shenron, which Piccolo uses to unlock his potential. Shenron, after being upgraded, says to Piccolo that he gave him "something extra". That's where Orange Man comes from.
Just got word that Jiren's power is retconned in a conversation piece on Beerus' planet. Apparently, it is stated that the gap between Jiren and Goku/Vegeta isn't as big as they originally thought. Rather, Jiren had an advantage because he was able to think clearly during the fight and not make...
Magenta (sp?) is the leader of the RRA here, he's the son of Commander Red. Also, I'm not sure how Android 21 is presented exactly, but I think she's named in her human form as Gero's wife or something as an Easter Egg.
A lot of this is typical DBS bollocks, but frankly I'm not minding most of...
