Kazuki Takahashi gave me my favorite series and my favorite card game.
He shared his love of games with the world and gave us a new one to enjoy that will be here forever.
He will always my inspiration.
Rest In Piece King.
It’s crazy how the actual slice isn’t even all that animated but it’s the effect of seeing a first person POV of what each eye is seeing followed by the reveal of what the hell just happened to Freeza
I very strongly believe one of the reasons why DBS: Superhero is CGI is because none of the animators wanted to draw Cell’s black spots over his body.
You ask any animator which was the hardest scene they ever animated and Cell’s spots are always part of the conversation.
Anakin is better looking
Anakin has better drip
Anakin has better hair
Anakin had sex
Anakin’s relationship with Obi-Wan is cooler than Luke’s
Anakin had Ahsoka as a Padowan
Anakin is the Chosen One
Anakin wiped out the Jedi Order because they sucked
Anakin killed children
I’ll just say.
Having Gwen fall down a Clocktower instead of a bridge is a perfect example of making changes from panel to film
The Clocktower works far better in a film medium than the bridge ever could.
RIP Akira Toriyama
He created Doctor Slump, Dragon Ball, Jaco, Neko Majin, Sand Land
He worked on Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger
And he never paid his taxes
The Greatest of All Time
Okay. I’ll just say it.
If Sony and Marvel has enough trust in its consumer to accept a Black Spider-Man and Black Captain America without them being named “Peter Parker” or “Steve Rogers”
DC should be able to trust in a black Superman that isn’t Clark Kent.
Dragon Ball GT should have continued the trend of Tenshinhan showing up to do exactly *one* thing in the arc that ends up being insanely helpful to the current situation.
Side note
It’s so fucking lame when the video games make Captain Ginyu only able to switch bodies with Goku
He should be able to switch bodies with any character
One of the only fan-theories I actually like to come from the Dragon Ball fandom is that Android 13’s design is based on Doctor Gero’s when he was younger
I don’t mind it.
He straight up says in the movie that he “tried to be that Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man cause that’s what she would have wanted”
But the weight of that loss kept pulling back to a dark place.
Western DB fans that are so insistent on Dragon Ball being a certain thing and any deviation from that thing is bad is absolutely fucking backwards to what the series has always stood for:
Change.
We went from a gag manga to a Space Opera to Time Travel to fighting Bubblegum.
Small detail I noticed when rereading the Cell arc
After Cell regrows his arm, he never uses that arm to take out Vegeta
It’s not stated but it’s like he’s choosing to fight with a handicap
As if he’s trying to say “Even if I couldn’t regenerate, I would have still won”
I think my favorite thing about Akira Toriyama is he wasn’t trying to be THAT guy or anything
He started making manga for money
But he used the talents he had in comedy, action, art, panelling, storytelling, and so on,
To redefine manga forever
You could not PAY me to say Dan Dan isn’t one of the greatest songs to ever be associated with Dragon Ball
I listen to it once and it’s automatically a good day.
Piccolo did the absolute most in the first 10 seconds
He could have just dodged and countered, but instead he dodged, did a whole fucking circle and flew in reverse just to kick him.
You know what I just realized?
GT Pan and Vegeta are wearing the same exact gloves.
My new headcanon is that Pan saw them on Vegeta and thought they looked cool and told Videl to buy her some.
I love this.
Goku teaches Gohan about natural Disinfectant's and while Gohan hates it at the time, he uses it on himself and on a dinosaur in pain.
He even says the thing.
This is actually news to me though.
I am never going to get over this one.
There are fans that legitimately believe Goku was bluffing here.
With absolutely no evidence and we know that characters in the series can detect evil intent in their attacks.
Maybe it’s just me.
But I just can’t in my wildest dreams imagine Goku having sex.
Like I know he’s done it at least twice.
But I just can’t SEE him doing it.
I can’t be alone in this, I mean, even the characters in-universe mention it.
I still can’t get over how the DBS anime made a big deal about Toppo becoming a God of Destruction and spamming Hakai’s at everyone… in a tournament where killing isn’t allowed.
Like, were they just fucking stupid?
If he kills just one person, he’s eliminated lol.
Something I genuinely like about Super 17 is that the only 2 characters he killed are his creators
And it’s heavily implied by Goku that the real 17 allowed himself to be killed to avoid hurting the one person that actually mattered to him.
His sister.
Considering how Goku Black, Trunks, Female Broly, Male Female Broly, Freeza returning, Cell returning & Gohan being an MC in Superbero all only exist because of Shueisha responding to ideas popular in the fandom.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Super does bring back Raditz one day.
I don’t care what anyone says
Super Saiyan 3 with eyebrows looks much, much worse
Toriyama was absolutely right to get rid of them
Sometimes you just gotta trust the man
It’s still kinda funny to me that the only character to master Super Saiyan 3 in the franchise is GT Goku after he got his tail back.
It’s straight up stated Goku’s tail is what finally removed the Stamina Drain that SS3 has (on top of his child body).
The Ocean dub changing this so that Goku thinks Vegeta killed his Grandfather is so fucking stupid
Viz was trying really hard to appeal to dub fans so they ripped that line from the Ocean dub scripts
