Dragon Ball Discussion

Loads of public screenings of DB Super were held in 2018. Toei and the Japanese embassy asked them to stop in Mexico. The mayor of Juarez came through and announced ep 131 would also be shown, after negotiations.

Buu Saga Z Kai had a more ambiguous take of the Dabura fight.

And yes Gohan was definitely SSJ 1.

 

[Symbiote]

I forgot how much of a bitch early Z Gohan was. Not sure if the anime is exaggerating it or not but he makes me cringe every time he's on screen.

I’ve been reading manga on my phone during downtime on this trip (e.g. public transport, waiting for my turn to shower, etc), mostly light romcoms that are easy to digest but I also reread the Saiyan and Freeza arcs. Good shit. The fight choreo is probably at its best here which makes it super easy to revisit.

Bruh he's like 5yo.

romcoms

heh

Weren't you scared to boot up pirated manga sites while Toei and the Japanese police are just down the road?
Did you see fireworks in Japan? Anime fireworks look better than real ones is what I was thinking this year.

 

[Symbiote]

Bruh he's like 5yo.

Still a bitch.

Just finished the last episode. The Boo arc felt like it was taking forever.

This is somewhat random but apparently that new Snow White movie has a lower rating than Dragon Ball Evolution.

Yeah woke agenda nonsense for the loss again. They can’t seem to learn that the era of woke is over. This is what happens when you try selling propaganda instead of making good movies. Superhero stuff sucks so bad right now, they can’t help but jam a million messages down your throat at all times.

Critical Drinker is a guy who does reviews, bro got millions of views doing a review on Snow White, more views that Snow White actually got lol.

 

[Savvajin]

Does anybody of you remember watching DragonBall during itsoriginal airing in Japan?

 

[Warmmedown]

Maybe @Cenas bald spot (had to use this https://dbzeta.net/threads/official-member-list-usernames-user-list-previous-names.28214/ thread to find his username to tag him!) since he's nihonjin

I need to watch DBZ again. I need some DBZ inspiration, some of the old hot blood in my veins. It's so long though.

Start watching Part 1 DB with us and come in my Discord and chat about it, we are having fun.

 

[Cenas bald spot]

I’ve only watched the entirety of OG DB in Japanese
never in English

What other aspects of the franchise did you consume in Japanese?

Pretty much everything.
Manga, Movies, DBZ, Kai, GT, Super Anime etc.

I think I haven’t even watched the series in full in English tbh, just hits and pieces.

Would you say you're more knowledgeable on the original source material than someone like Herms from Kanzenshuu?

I’m not sure about that, but I feel some of his translations from the past leave room for improvement.

When Goku SSJ3 was fighting Kid Buu, Vegeta told Goku not to hold back, since the power of SSJ3 was enough to kill Kid Buu in Episode 281.

Does that mean that either Goku SSJ3 or Vegeta, if he unlocked SSJ3, could defeat Kid Buu?

Am I only talking about the anime filler, where Goku SSJ2 (vs. Kid Buu) is much stronger than Vegeta SSJ2 (vs. Kid Buu)?

 

[SSJ2]

Chapter: 510 (DBZ 316), P13.1-6
Vegeta: “Don’t hesitate for my sake, and finish him off! With that Super Saiyan 3, you should be able to completely wipe out Boo with your ki once you gather it with all your might…!”
Goku: “Ye…yeah…I’ve been thinking of doing that as well since awhile back, but…I haven’t gotten the chance.”
Vegeta: “Eh?”
Goku: “If I want to wipe him out, I gotta gather ki for about one minute.”
Vegeta: “One minute?!”
Goku: “Dammnit~~~If it was with the Potara, I could have done it in one blast. …..Cheh~~~I guess I went and showed off too much. But I thought things would go a little better than this…!”
Vegeta: “…S …So you weren’t thinking of me…”


It's stated at a different time in the manga. Goku also implies it before the fight begins:

Chapter: 509 (DBZ 315), P11.4-6
Context: as Goku prepares to fight Boo
Goku: “Alrii~~iight. I’d better go all out right from the start…! If we get done in, then the entire universe will go ‘poof’…”
Vegeta: “Let me see this ‘Super Saiyan 3’ thing with my own eyes…”
Goku: “Is that alright? You just might not get your turn…I can say this now, but the truth is that with that fat Boo, I would have been able to defeat him at the time with Super Saiyan 3…However, I wanted the young guys to manage something…For the Earth’s sake too…”
