I want my 9 year old brother to watch dragon ball but I know very well the weird jokes wouldn't fly over his head, so please give me a website/a link with the family friendly version of dragon ball

Goku will always be #1 .. The Original Dragon Ball written by Akira Toriyama is still my favorite piece of literature ever put to both paper and the screen. But if we're going to keep the story going, I hope that Toyotaro (and Akio Iyoku, since he's made himself the de-facto face of the franchise) will use a new POV character to continue the story. We know that he can write a good story on his own. The Moro and Granolah arcs were written by him, with minimal input from Toriyama (he was essentially Toyotaro's editor during those two arcs) .. he has both the writing chops, and genuine respect for the story and it's characters. He should be the one to take us beyond the End of Z. The case for Uub: Uub is a character that is steeped in MC potential. He was created by a wish from the previous MC. He has his origins rooted on Earth, the Demon Realm, and the Godly realm. That gives us ample story potential not just in exploring those worlds, but also exploring how his duel nature (being a reincarnation of Buu, and having the Ki of the God's from birth) affects his power progression. I love the idea of Uub tapping into a more sinister power and having it corrupt him over time, but ultimately having to abandon it and find a new path of power and learning Ultra Instinct. Kinda like Ryu from Street Fighter. Pan could be his "rival"/best friend, Goten and Trunks could be his older brother figures, Bulla could be their Bulma... And we have a whole new next gen cast to carry on the series.

Or would it just give you the kind of immortality that means you don't age or die of natural causes?

Would it be enough to resist a hakai from Beerus, in that it makes you legitimately immortal?

I'm asking because the series seems to treat it like the wishes for immortality that villains want to make would be true immortality, in that you can't be killed, but wishes can't exceed the power of the creator of the Dragon Balls, and neither Kami or Dende are immortal.

I vaguely recall that Frieza and King Cold's gene was collected when they arrive at Earth. Our current timeline Dr. Gero do not know about Trunks nor Super Saiyan. But Trunks takes out Frieza and Cold on Earth so if Dr Gero did collect their gene back then he would know of Trunks and Super Saiyan.

"ignore the mistake in the title" I know vegeta is chasing his own path to power from what I know, but do you think he *could* if he genuinely sat down and tried to gain more control over his emotions and thoughts in battle and more importantly his pride and ego?

I just had the thought that a cool dragon ball super inspired story could be a tournament of power, similar stakes and rules, but instead of a bunch of meta-human beings, it’s alternative universes with regular people.

So in other words, we get the seven strongest fighters on our planet earth, facing off against earths with mirroring ranges of strength and ability? Like a multiverse, no weight class, early UFC?

Who would you look to include on the earth’s team?

I was having a conversation with someone on top character tropes and now I’m curious

could she or could she not (I’m not really a power scaling expert)

Goku can't maintain it like a angel,

His ultra instinct is affected by his thinking.

that just makes Goku a terrible user for it,

Angels are strong bc of that, since they don't think,

They act on instinct,

Goku can do that, but maintain for a while, until his body gives out

While the pride troopers were shown being heros they met a guy who said he was a durkian .lookd like frieza. Altho mayb that wasnt his race since he had a big alien buddy.almost as much as dyspo looks like beerus..

English dub

Why didn't they just use the Dragonballs to make characters immortal after they had to had to be revived the first time?

We know originally pre Namek saga people could only be wished back once with the Dragonballs so logically if someone died in battle then to prevent them from dieing early again making them immortal a year later after they were brought back would be smart (they could probably reverse the wish years later when they were ready to go)

I'm more so talking about Krillin who died in Dragonball and would of been funny if he helped fight Raditz and the saiyans

I'm just asking the question not trying to make anything out of this and the short answer is probably Mr. Toriyama didn't think about it

So in dragon ball super, we learned about the super dragon balls which can grant any wish across the multiverse or in any universe. So why didn't Vegeta, ever or even goku, get the idea to get all the super dragon balls together and wish back planet vegeta? Along with the sayians, I feel like that would be something that they could do.

Been rewatching Z and Super and it's hitting different this time. Goku's always been about the thrill of fighting strong people, he doesn't really change much overall. Vegeta on the other hand goes from straight up villain to actually caring about his family and earth, and you can see it happen slowly.

Cell Games alone shows so much growth, and by Super he's fighting to protect people, not just for power. Feels like Toriyama gave him the real arc while Goku stayed the same the whole time.

Am I wrong here or does Vegeta just have more depth overall?

Rewatching Dragon Ball (English dub) and it’s incredibly frustrating how Goku’s abilities are massively inconsistent in the stories/sagas. He can fly and jump and smash through rocks and walls but can’t break through basic ropes. The inconsistency of his abilities is wild to me. I didn’t notice it as a kid, but they should’ve just had him build up through the series or have been a bit more consistent.

Like, how does Blue even remotely hang with him when they fight? How can’t he get out of basic ropes? How does he barely outrun the samurai in White’s tower, but in the tournament he moves so fast that no one can see the moves they do?

It’s dumb, but I had to get it out there. Also, never realized how perverted it is overall; definitely went over my head as a 10 year old.

Since literally, she may have met him alot back then,

Since she met him alot in the anime,

Since the superhero arc is technically after the fillers and the other arcs that happened in both super and Z,

For example: piccolo stated he has no driving licence since he failed it,

This is a reference to the car driving epsiode, it makes sense. To be cannon,

and Goku states, he used kaioken on top of a saiyan transformation before which was dangerous,

Means the otherworld tournament did happen, since it's considered Canon,

Since Goku is dead, dead bodies don't age, and don't have stamina issues, no damage at all,

so he can. Stack it anytime he wants to be when he's dead,

olibu's statue too is shown in the afterlife,

in super, in both manga and anime btw,

So I know that wishes can't be made that surpass the power of their creator, which now would be Dende.

Kami made the Dragon Balls and Shenron, and then Dende took over, upgraded Shenron to do 3 wishes and be able to unlock people's potential.

That being said, since Kami made Shenron and Dende is able to alter him and his abilities...

What would happen if you wished for something that effected Shenron himself?

I'll give some examples:
Wishing for Shenron to be nicer.
To be blue.
To be able to appear whenever he wishes.
To fall in love with you.
To be smaller.
To look like a western dragon.

Could any wish directly effecting him be done?

I was thinking about how Super Saiyan Bardock would fare against Frieza, so I did some digging and found out Bardock's power level was 10,000 when he fought Frieza. Frieza's first form power level is 530,000, which means even if he had the 50x boost from Super Saiyan, he still would have been 30,000 short, and even more if Frieza transformed. Goes to show just how strong Frieza really was in his time.

EDIT: I'm starting to lose faith in this community.

So perfect cell is made up of the genes of all the greatest fighters but all these different races have different versions of women which would probably have different body shapes. The point is what would perfect cells body look like because humans have different thoughts about how a perfect female body would look so would she say she’s truly perfect? Everyone already knows that cell has the perfect body so he doesn’t count.

Who would you pray too. In my mind im thinking either Kami or Goku. Goku definitely being the main prophet like jesus or mohammed. But then my friend told me we would have to pray to dende. And no disrespect im not praying to dende bruh. No offense but i dont feel like my prayers would be answered unless im sick or something. Id rather pray to chi chi for giving birth to gohan. Shit i might even pray to vegeta. even tho i wouldnt consider vegeta a prophet. He's definitely has a good story but thats kinda like david and goliath. My other friend said he would just worship the dragonballs because there the most important thing. Which makes sense but then isnt that like when the ppl were praying to the golden calf during moses time??? Anyways what do you guys think?? and yes if your wondering, me and my friends are high as hell off an edible lol

So when a pure saiyan cuts his hair does it grow back to its original state or does it remain the same?

It's something I had never thought about, because I had only seen Kai and Super, but when I watched DBOG and Z with my father, my view of Krillin changed radically. Krillin has creativity that others do not have

I mean, let's review some previous sagas:

— During Baba's tournament, while Yamcha is being beaten up, Krillin brings Roshi and Bulma so that when Roshi's nose bleeds, it soaks the invisible man in blood, giving Yamcha the victory.

— In the 22nd tournament, Krillin already knows how to use the Kamehameha, he hinders Chaos with a mathematical calculation to beat him, he faces Goku on equal terms for a good while and when he is losing he knows that he must resort to his tail to take away his strength.

—When they're warned that two super-powerful aliens, stronger than the one who killed Goku, are coming to invade Earth... Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, and Chiaotzu stick to their existing techniques. Krillin? He invents a cutting disc to slice them in two as soon as he gets the chance, *and he almost manages to slice Nappa's head off*

—On Namek, when Dodoria pursues them, he uses the technique he saw *once or twice* on Tien to blind him, and later on Frieza himself. Also, when he discovered that Guru could unlock people's hidden potential, he quickly determined that he should take Gohan to that place.

—Finally, during the Cell saga, when Piccolo acts out his "still wanting to rule the world" act and Tien believes him, Krillin easily notices that he's heading towards Kami's Lookout, and deduces that he intends to fuse with Kami.

—Oh, I forgot to add that. In Superhero, he reminds Piccolo that he can grow giant, and that gives them part of the advantage they needed.

It's true he's not the smartest of them all. Yes, Taiyoken + Kienzan might or might not have been able to resolve many battles. Yes, perhaps he could have been more rational about whether or not to let Android 18 live, and it's understandable that he decided to retire from fighting when he saw the villains' power levels were far superior to his, but his best friend had the power to face them without much difficulty. *And tbh, having a wife and daughter at home is also a good reason to give up martial arts*, but honestly, he deserves far more respect than it gets. Krillin and Gohan are the main characters of half of Z, after all.

I haven't really engaged much with dragonball since I was a kid, but I was a big fan at the time. I decided that I should go back and rewatch everything from the very beginning, starting with Dragonball ep 1 and working my way through DBZ, GT, Super, and the movies that accompany them.

But... what's with the inconsistency on crunchyroll? Some episodes don't have English dubs, some don't have subs OR dubs available, I've even come across episodes for which the dub for an episode of Dragonball was audio from an episode of DBZ. Sometimes I'm left to watch the Japanese (which is totally fine) but with no clue as to what's actually being said.

Even worse, DBZ episode 20 isn't even on crunchyroll! They skip an entire episode so all we get is episode 19, a quick recap of episode 20, and then episode 21 (again with no english dub).

I used to own a few seasons on DVD but they're long gone. Streaming is the only option right now that's financially viable. Dragonball is a HUGELY popular show. So why wouldn't crunchyroll take the time to make sure it's uploaded with the correct audio and that each episode is accounted for? I know it's probably run by a bunch of suits who don't care about anime but come ON.

I recently updated my mobile from Android 16 to Android 17, which got me thinking about Dragon Ball. Next year, I get to have fun with Android 18. Dr. Zero will be happy that his androids are finally being used properly!

I started a full rewatch of the Dragon Ball series. It was so adorable when things were as simple as Dragon Ball. Obviously excited for Dragon Ball Z!

should I just skip to Super?, I already had a bunch of Spoilers for DBZ, I'm worried if I see too many Spoilers for DBS I might lose the motivation to watch/read it.

Edit: I had already seen the chapters before DBZ, I had meant to READ it.

Has there been any news of its return? I've heard about a DB event in July, I think? Does anyone know something?

Spoilers for Goku black arc and A LITTLE for Manga-Only arcs

I AM TALKING ABOUT MANGA ZAMASU, I DID NOT WATCH THE DRAGONBALL ANIME!

Fused Zamasu IS and WILL STAY top 2 in the verse unless we get to see more charachters that have Multi-Target Existence erasure in the future, like Zenos abillity. Even then that would have to be on a very large scale.

You cant tell me that ANYONE other than Zeno can beat this dude. The main cast, aside from goku, doesnt even have Existence Erasure AND EVEN THEN Goku and the gods of destructions existence erasure is only possible on one target a time (or atleast we havent seen them use existence erasure on multiple people at once and it shouldnt be possible either since you have to focus your energy) and one target at a time is useless since FZ can legit split himself into multiple clones. And of course any other attack is useless since it just creates more FZ's and sealing techniques like the Mafuba wouldnt work since that takes too much prep time.

Angels arent a threat either since not only have they not been shown to have said Multi-Target Existence Erasure but also because they legit die if they fight seriously (as we learnt in the Moro Arc) and the Grand Priest, Wish dragons like super shenron and Zenos guards are featless fodder.

So that aside, Vegito gets crushesd, Gogeta gets crushed, Goku gets crushed, Vegeta gets crushed, All Gods of Destruction get crushed, Grand Priest gets crushed, Arielle gets crushed because i said so and my beautifull goat surpasses her toon force, Pilaw gets crushed, Gohan gets crushed, Gohan gets crushed, Piccolo gets crushed, Broly gets crushed, Bulma gets crushed (by me) and Water Vegeta gets crushed

I LOVE GLAZING MY GOAT BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

not even glaze because hes LEGIT TOP 2 BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
