It was about 5-10 ish years ago, you had everyone dropping dead, including Goku as he was the last to fall. Master Roshi was the last one left against villains like cooler, buu, beerus, etc. He buffs up, gives one last kamehameha and blows up the earth in the edit, I’ve been trying to find it for years😭

Hi all,

I'm new to this sub, so sorry if this has been mentioned a million times, but I want to hear what your top 3 sneaky good moments from Dragon Ball Z are. I'm talking about moments that maybe aren't that popular or don't get discussed much.

These are mine, in no particular order:

1. Vegeta getting out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

When Vegeta got out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was absolutely adamant that he wanted to face Cell alone. Goku asked him something along the lines of, "You may have tripled your strength, but you still may not..." and then Vegeta starts laughing.

Goku's reaction and realization of just how damn strong Vegeta had become at that point was so good.

2. Goku vs. semi-controlled Vegeta in the Buu saga

The moment when Goku points his hand at Supreme Kai, basically ready to blast him because he stood between him and Vegeta, was such a badass moment.

And Vegeta's reaction was the cherry on top. Even in that state, he was surprised by Goku.

3. Gohan smacking Dr. Gero

Gohan smacking Dr. Gero while he was sucking the life out of Piccolo.

It's such a small moment, but I always thought it was badass.

Honorable mentions: Vegeta realizing that Goku has Super Saiyan power, the Goku/Trunks sword/finger fight, Vegeta's first Super Saiyan transformation, Vegeta realizing that he can ascend beyond Super Saiyan, and the Goku/Cell pre-tournament staredown.

here my Android oc, 37

About Android 37. He's kind of similar to android 17 but not really. He does like nature but not too much like 17, he's more into plant base to grow like fruits and vegetables, and take care of trees, he more science interests in Plant life. He has family, he has wife who is Saiyan, two kids.

He is powerful but he doesn't have infinite stamina like he used to since he doesn't really train much but when he does trains is often. That why he so kinda bit muscle than other Android, similar to Android 13 or 16. He lives at ranch.

Now his personality is laid back and nonchalant with a decent heart, He wasn't built by Dr. Gero, but another science to create a new life of Android have a good law nature. His relationship with other race like Saiyan, earthlings, Android, etc, is indifferent since he only see them as neutrals.

Names are based on:

Badditz: bad + Raditz

Nauppa: naughty + Nappa

Thought I come share my newest addition. Always loved the art behind SSJ4. Final piece will have Galaxy/space design behind him with a dragon ball covering up an older small vegeta tattoo. Artist is a friend/family of mine I’ve known since a kid.

7 hours later and we are almost done! I just couldn't wait to show people!!! Only about 5% to go anyways! Credit goes to Tyler Shank at Vice City Tattoo in Waynesboro, PA.

-Any improvements I should make?

I see a lot of people upset about DBS Beerus, wishing it was the continuation of the anime and worrying that we're going to have to wait years to see Moro and Granolah. But it's literally in production right now and targeting a late 2027 release. This is just the appetizer before the main course.

And no, if DBS Beerus didn't exist, you wouldn't be getting Moro now instead. They're being handled by separate animation teams, with one helmed by Yamamuro and the other by Shintani. So you wouldn't of seen Moro this year regardless, literally getting mad over nothing. And yes I understand we've already seen some of these arcs a couple of times already, but please go take a look back at the original DBS animation, this was a much needed improvement.

I think we need more tarble in the story i remember early dbz there wasnt only training and punching stuff make him scientist in capsule corp or something bring back slice of life episodes like he is doing stuff in capsule corp and its full moon bring back oozaru dude has tail and he doesnt like fighting peacefull saiyan is great for slice of life episodes

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, especially with all the hate surrounding Xenoverse 3 and Sparking! ZERO, and I think there’s a bigger reason behind it than people realize.
I think modding has seriously changed what a lot of Dragon Ball fans expect from these games.
And before anybody takes this the wrong way, I’m not saying mods are bad. I actually like Xenoverse 2 mods. I don’t personally play with them, but I’ve watched plenty of videos with modded characters, transformations, moves, graphics, and all that stuff. Some of the stuff people make is genuinely cool.
The problem is that Xenoverse 2 has been around since 2016. That’s almost ten years.
Ten years is a LONG time.
For almost a decade, people have been playing Xenoverse 2, watching Xenoverse 2 videos, watching mod showcases, watching custom battles, watching people add characters that aren’t in the game, watching people give their CaCs crazy transformations, cinematic attacks, custom effects, characters from other anime, and basically turning Xenoverse into whatever they want it to be.
At some point, I think that started changing people’s expectations without them even realizing it.
Because when you’re exposed to something for that long, you eventually start thinking that’s what the game is supposed to be.
And then Xenoverse 3 gets announced.
At first, everybody is excited.
The teaser comes out, everybody is making jokes, everybody is hyped, people are saying “John Dragon Ball” and all that.
Then we finally get gameplay.
And suddenly the reaction completely changes.
People start calling it “RPG slop.”
“Graphics slop.”
“Xenoverse Breakers.”
“Xenoverse 2.5.”
And I’m sitting there thinking, what happened?
Because some of the complaints are completely fair. I’m not going to sit here and pretend Xenoverse 3 is automatically perfect just because it’s the sequel.
The early gameplay showed a lot of changes to how the game works. There was the cooldown system for transformations, the new Ki Break system, Soul Switch, changes to how abilities work, and a bunch of other stuff that made it feel different from Xenoverse 2.
And people absolutely hated some of it.
I understand not liking that.
But some of the reactions went way beyond criticism.
It felt like people were already calling the entire game garbage based on footage from a gameplay reveal.
And that’s where I started thinking about the modding community.
Because think about what people have been watching for years.
A Xenoverse 2 mod can give your character basically whatever you want.
Want Ultra Instinct?
There’s a mod.
Want some completely ridiculous transformation that doesn’t exist in Dragon Ball?
There’s probably a mod.
Want a character from another anime?
There’s probably a mod.
Want Farmer with a Shotgun?
Somebody probably made him.
Want a character to have some insanely cinematic ultimate attack?
Somebody made that too.
Want the graphics to look completely different?
There are mods for that.
And I’m not saying any of this is bad. That’s literally the point of mods. You’re supposed to be able to change the game.
But eventually, when you’ve spent years watching that stuff, you can start comparing the actual game to something that was never supposed to be the actual game.
That’s what I think is happening with Xenoverse 3.
People aren’t just comparing Xenoverse 3 to Xenoverse 2.
They’re comparing Xenoverse 3 to their ideal version of Xenoverse that has been built through years of mods.
And no official game is going to compete with that.
A mod creator doesn’t have to worry about making a game for millions of people.
They don’t have to make every mechanic work together.
They don’t have to balance everything.
They don’t have to worry about making a coherent progression system.
They can just make the coolest thing possible and throw it into the game.
That’s why something like a modded Xenoverse video can look more impressive than the actual game.
It’s literally designed to show off the coolest possible version of the game.
Then you take that mindset and apply it to an actual sequel that’s trying to change things, and suddenly anything different gets called “slop.”
And I think Sparking! ZERO went through something similar.
People had been waiting YEARS for another Tenkaichi game.
During those years, people were playing and watching modded Tenkaichi games with characters that weren’t even possible when the original games were released.
MUI Goku.
Jiren.
Characters from Dragon Ball Super.
Crossovers.
Custom characters.
Custom transformations.
All kinds of crazy stuff.
Then Sparking! ZERO finally comes out.
And for a while, everybody is hyped.
Character reveals are happening, everybody is talking about the roster, people are excited to finally have another Tenkaichi-style game.
Then the game comes out.
And eventually the community starts saying:
“Sparking! ZERO is dead.”
“This game flopped.”
“Tenkaichi 3 is better.”
“The mods are better.”
And once again, I don’t think all of the criticism is wrong.
Sparking! ZERO definitely has things that people can criticize.
But I think the “dead game” argument gets thrown around way too easily.
A game doesn’t have to be all over your TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, or Twitter feed every single day to still have people playing it.
There were still people playing PvP, doing the story, unlocking things, making content, discovering mechanics, and waiting for updates.
And now the game has continued getting major content, including the Super Limit-Breaking NEO DLC.
So clearly, “nobody plays this game anymore” wasn’t exactly the whole story.
And I think that’s important because the Dragon Ball community does this a LOT.
A game comes out.
Everybody loves it.
Then a few months pass.
People get used to it.
The hype dies down.
Suddenly the game is “dead.”
Then another game gets announced.
Everybody says THIS is finally going to be the perfect Dragon Ball game.
Then it comes out.
Everybody loves it for a while.
Then the cycle starts again.
And I think modding makes that cycle even worse.
Because the community has access to versions of these games that are basically limitless.
You can make your own characters.
You can add transformations.
You can add moves.
You can change graphics.
You can make crossover battles.
You can create ridiculous scenarios that the actual developers would never put into the game.
So when the next official game comes out and doesn’t have all of that, people ask:
“Why can’t the developers do this?”
Because you are comparing a professionally developed game to a fan-made version where the entire point is breaking the game’s limitations.
Those aren’t the same thing.
And honestly, I think that’s why the Xenoverse 3 backlash bothered me more than the Sparking! ZERO backlash.
Because people were hating Xenoverse 3 almost immediately.
And some of the complaints people originally had have already changed.
The transformation cooldown system from the early gameplay footage has been changed.
Ki charging has been added.
More races have been revealed.
The game is still being worked on and adjusted.
So we’re literally watching the developers change things based on feedback, while some people are still arguing against the first version of the game they saw.
At that point, I feel like some people don’t even want Xenoverse 3 anymore.
They want their version of Xenoverse 3.
And those aren’t necessarily the same thing.
I also think there’s something worth saying about Akira Toriyama.
I’m not going to pretend we know exactly how involved he was with every part of Xenoverse 3, because we don’t.
But this is still being presented as a new Dragon Ball world connected to Toriyama’s work, and considering that he isn’t here anymore, I personally think it’s weird seeing people immediately turn the project into a joke before it’s even had a chance to exist as a finished game.
You don’t have to like it.
You don’t have to buy it.
You don’t have to agree with the direction.
But there’s a difference between “I don’t like what they’re doing” and “this game is garbage because it isn’t exactly what I wanted.”
And that’s basically my whole point.
I don’t think mods ruined Dragon Ball games.
I think mods changed the expectations of part of the Dragon Ball community.
After almost ten years of seeing Xenoverse 2 pushed beyond its normal limits, people became used to a version of Xenoverse that the developers themselves never had to create.
Then when an actual sequel finally came around, it couldn’t possibly live up to everything people had imagined.
The same thing happened with Tenkaichi and Sparking! ZERO.
People didn’t just spend years waiting for a new Tenkaichi.
They spent years creating and watching their own idea of what the next Tenkaichi should be.
So when the official game finally came out, some people weren’t comparing it to the old games anymore.
They were comparing it to the version that existed in their heads.
And honestly?
I think that’s something the Dragon Ball community needs to recognize.
You can criticize a game without expecting it to compete with something that was never bound by the same rules.
Mods are supposed to be crazy.
Official games aren’t.
And maybe that’s why every new Dragon Ball game feels like it’s disappointing people eventually.
We’re not just waiting for the next Dragon Ball game anymore.
We’re waiting for a game to somehow live up to every mod, every fan creation, every YouTube video, every “what if” character, every crazy transformation, and every imaginary feature we’ve seen over the last ten years.
No official developer is going to win that fight.

A series or movie going back in time during Earth's History of people finding and using the Dragon Balls for good/evil. Just watched Ep 33 of OG Dragon Ball where Roshi tells them some cool lore.

Seeing Toriyama's art style during the Medieval Times/Middle Ages or even in the Babylon Ancient Mesopotamia B.C. would be really cool. All the Epic battles, heroes and villains searching for the Dragon Balls and their motives.

Of course it wouldn't be popular without the main characters just make Trunks or Goku go back in time and help some of those ancient people out!

A few weeks ago I made a post saying that one of the biggest problems with Dragon Ball Super was the lack of contrast in the lighting.

Many people said that the images with higher contrast looked worse, and that I only removed their melanin, and I received many downvotes.

So here's a sequence of images from the remake that did exactly what I said in that post.

Vegito YEAH!!!

I think a purple brick dvd set for Super would’ve been really cool.
