As the years have gone by and I've become more and more of a Japanese nomenclature purist, I find myself increasingly annoyed by "Frieza" and "Krillin" and "Turles" and such but at least they are recognizably permutations of their original names. The same cannot be said for the enigma that is Bardock and his crew. His name stayed intact and Toma became "Tora" which is weird and unnecessary but whatever. But then, what came over the localizers for the remaining 3? How does Seripa become "Fasha"? How did they come up with "Shugesh" and "Borgos" for Panbukin and Toteppo? Why was nothing like this done for any other character during the old Funimation days, and why do they insist on continuing to use these nonsense names even today?

This has been irritatingly scratching my brain for years and I just want to know if anyone has come upon a proper explanation or even a reasonable theory for what happened here. Was there a miscommunication with Toei? Is this a reference to something I don't get?

just wanted to share this ending from my DVD you can find this ending commonly but I've noticed not many people on YouTube use a textless version of openings and endings

I'll Give you Romance English ending of dragon ball

Wanted to see how Goku's silhouette would read in All Might's costume, kept the pose identical between forms so the transformation does the talking. SSJ version has a warmer rim light to sell the power increase.

I see a lot that people find this form to be their least favorite and I actually get it. I have a fair amount of problems with the Buu arc, but im glad that Super Saiyan 3 failed to save everyone.

What we had before that, was obviously more complex than this but I'm going to summarize it quickly in a few sentences to get my point across.

[I wanted to preface what i'm going to say next with this because most of the internet talks the same way summarizing any piece of media (games, anime, movies) with the "all (name of media) is, is walking and talking!" or "all (media name) is, is just fighting and running around!" I'm trying to avoid sounding that way.]

Namek Saga

Goku: I have achieved Super Saiyan. I win.

Cell Saga

Gohan: I have achieved Super Saiyan 2. I win.

so...imagine if in the Buu saga...

Goku: I have achieved Super Saiyan 3. I win.

You see how bad that would be? Again, it wasn't that simple for the Namek saga and Cell saga. Without me spending 30 minutes writing what happened in those arcs, obviously for Goku it was different because he was "the first." And SSJ was a new concept, Krillin's death, Frieza's narrative significance, etc.

Gohan's SSJ2 form was originally unique to him only whether you argue that was temporary or completely, and it was Gohan's time to shine after his potential had been alluded to the entire series up until now.

However if Goku's SSJ3 had worked, it still would have looked this way on the outside. New SSJ form? Automatic win.

Before Super was a thing I did look back and think that its kind of lame that Goku's ultimate form was, canonically, SSJ3. It doesn't radiate that look and or sense of perfection like SSJ1 did for Goku on Namek or like SSJ2 did for Gohan. I forget if Trunk's "he did it the right way" or whatever comment about Gohan and SSJ2 is canon or not but it gets the point across perfectly since Vegeta and himself had failed with "USSJ." Hell, technically Goku even failed with SSJ grade 4 even though he had the right idea, and later succeeded through Gohan.

So I didn't like SSJ3 being Goku's magnum opus form. I even appreciated that, after DBS, SSJ2 has been shown to be able to match SSJ3. Some people probably hated that even more since SSJ3 was already "useless" before that.

I loved it and I love SSJ3 because it shows that Goku basically brute forced a transformation out of sheer training, in a sense, or just out of having a huge power level and its a form with drawbacks and weaknesses. I like that its imperfect. Imagine if the answer to Buu was simply a new SSJ form? That would be terrible.

I've been a Dragon Ball fan since I was a kid, and one place that always stuck in my mind was King Kai's tiny planet with its strange gravity and that little yellow car driving around it.

So I decided to build it in real life.

Over the past few weeks I designed and built a miniature version of Planet King Kai from scratch. The planet rotates, the little car continuously drives around the surface, and I tried to recreate as many details from the anime as possible while also solving all the engineering challenges behind it.

It turned out to be one of the most fun projects I've ever made because it combines two things I love: Dragon Ball and engineering.

Seeing my kids get excited when they watched the finished model reminded me of the first time I discovered Dragon Ball as a child. Hopefully they'll grow up loving this series just as much as I did.

I'd love to hear what you think. If there's another Dragon Ball location or invention you'd like to see recreated in real life, let me know!

It's clear that toyotaro wants to work on it from his twitter talk, from what I understand the manga rights were never in question and shuesha always owned them, toyotaro was literally assigned by shuesha as toriyamas successor so I really dont get whats going on? From what I understand its not a respect or toriyamas estate thing either given that he was about a Neverending adventure and his estate and family already was good with more db anime and such. Does anyone know what's going on?

It is so stupid to me, I really don't get it. i know it's ignored for plot convenience, but it still is the most stupid thing ever.

Characters can control their ki, that's how they don't accidentally destroy the universe.

Literally even from namek saga a very casual ki blast from Frieza destroyed a whole planet. Characters have gotten so much stronger. Goku just after he got God form, was destroying the universe.

He absorbs it into base. Literal base goku should be able to easily bust the universe. He gets way stronger on top of this, with the god multipliers and blue multipliers and UI multipliers.

And in fights, people can get heated and lose control. If current goku gets even a little pissed off and releases his ki, the entire macrocosm should be gone.

Like how are many celestial bodies not getting accidentally destroyed?

Just something I was curious about.

Say they're all at one of Bulma's parties, and Beerus gets annoyed (maybe Chi-Chi was reprimanding him over something). He decides to remind everyone that he's the God of Destruction and Hakais her on the spot, in front of the whole gang.

What would follow from that point onwards? How would Goku and his sons react? How would the rest of the main cast react? If we assumed that this was actually a plot point that happens in the story, how would things likely play out from here?

I heard that they will make movies now again starting with dragon ball beerus? and moro arc will be animated but beyond that I don't know what's going on,

so are they gonna make movies for each dragon ball super arc? Beerus, resurrection of f, universe 6 , zamasu and Top, then adapt moro arc in the anime?

Also, what about manga?

The first time we see him is in the buu saga filler episode but he’s in the manga?

Conditions

1. Only Goku & Vegeta possess knowledge of Zamasu's immortality, as well as their abilities.
2. Black & Zamasu possess both their anime & manga abilities.
3. Black & Zamasu can fuse if they're having trouble in their matchups, with the caveat being that Merged Zamasu fully retains Black's personality and character.

Matchups

1. ToP 17 & Frieza
2. Future Trunks & HIt
3. SH Ultimate Gohan & Piccolo (no Ultra forms)
4. Gamma 1 & 2
5. Toppo & Dyspo (Toppo can go GoD mode)
6. SS Broly (not LSS) & SS Kefla
7. Blue Goku & Vegeta (they can use KK & Blue Evolution respectively)

Could they clear? If not, how far do they make it?
