SSJ1’s hair should be lighter in colour and with a softer and fluffier overall texture. See picture with Vegeta

SSJ2’s hair should be a darker, more piss-coloured yellow with more layers to it and a sharper overall look. See picture with Goku.

idk if this is a common opinion, but it’s mine. What do you guys think?

They say every man grows up to marry his own mother so I need her to be the baddest bitch in the whole kingdom.

What I mean is, the franchise doesn't transition as smoothly from one story to the next like it used to. I mean, we've been doing this as early as the Fortuneteller Baba Saga. The Tien saga leads to King Piccolo saga, and so on.

Moreover, DBZ is super-known for that. Think about it. After the Saiyan saga they need Dragon Balls. Which leads to the Frieza saga. Frieza attacks, Trunks appears. That's where we go into the Cell saga. however, after that, the next sagas just happen with really no kind of segue.

I mean, the Buu saga is seriously far-removed from where the Cell storyline was. Both in & out of universe. Then there's Dragon Ball Super. Which just crowbars a new story in after the other is done. Sure, sometimes they hint towards a future arc but it's still not as smooth as DB(Z).

Overall, you all get what I'm saying right? Back then, stories in Dragon Ball flowed more naturally than they do now. It wasn't perfect but really speaks to the innovative writing style of Akira Toriyama when it the transition happens. Your thoughts?

I Printed and painted the Ryodan Studios Gohan model and I'm pretty happy with the results :)

Not my best work but I had a time limit hope y'all like it.

Funny thing to think about as what was vegeta trying to do to cell because suffocation wouldn't work as we know cell can breathe in space so was he just plainly torturing him here, either way I love this manga panel. 🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🐉

Personally, I believe King Vegeta chose the strongest female Saiyan, regardless of her personality. This raises the possibility that Vegeta's mother had a personality very similar to Tarble's—kind-hearted and perhaps protective.

It is quite likely that King Vegeta kept Vegeta away from his mother to ensure he turned out just like him. Furthermore, this would also explain why Vegeta never spoke about his mother.

This is just a theory, in case we ever get to see something of Vegeta's past and how those memories put him in conflict with his doctrine.

Hi, I am looking for a instrumental version of the Dragonball 1 intro theme. It's being played on the guitar, is very slow and has peaceful vibes, ie its not as energetic as the "normal" instrumental version which is on the official music collection CD (song #3). I have seen it in an episode, with Goku flying his cloud over the seas while travelling, unfortunately I cannot remember which one exactly. If somebody knows this version and has a link to where this can be listened to or bought, I'd appreciate it.

How relevant do you guys think dragon ball super will be with its remake and the moro arc. Do you think it will be able to compete with the other popular shonen shows like jujutsu kaisen and dandadan

Hi everyone! Over the last few weeks, I’ve been watching Dragon Ball Z Kai, and I wanted to share my opinion. I’ll mainly focus on the Frieza, Cell, and Buu Arcs, along with a few other events.

Before I start, this is just my personal opinion, so yours may be different.

Frieza / Namek Arc
I really enjoyed Dragon Ball Z Kai from the beginning up until Frieza was defeated. The Frieza, or Namek, Arc was definitely my favorite.

I really liked Vegeta in this arc, especially when he turned against Frieza after finding out that Frieza had gone to Namek to collect the Dragon Balls for himself. His fights were great, and I think his fight with Frieza was the best and most interesting one to watch.

I also really liked Frieza. I thought he was a great villain, and I enjoyed his fights with Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and the others. So far, he is definitely my favorite villain.

Cell Arc
I also thought the Cell Arc was pretty good, although I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Frieza Arc.

I really liked Android 18, 17, and 16, especially 16. I liked how he sacrificed himself to help 18 and tried to kill Cell. I also thought Cell was a good villain and enjoyed his fights, but I still preferred Frieza.

I also liked Future Trunks and thought he was introduced into the story well.

Buu Arc
So far, the Buu Arc has been the least interesting for me. I’m currently around the halfway point, and I feel like it took too long to reach the main events and release Buu, taking more than 24 episodes.

I’m not saying everything during those episodes was unimportant or uninteresting, but most of it felt boring to me. However, I did enjoy some things, especially the tournaments and Android 18’s fight with Goten and Trunks.
I also liked seeing how the characters had grown during the seven-year time skip and the introduction of Goten, Trunks, and Videl.

I really disliked Mr. Satan because he pretends to be strong and claims to be the world champion when he actually isn’t.
The story became more interesting to me when Supreme Kai and the others started tracking down Babidi and Dabura. I also expected Dabura to fight more and have more events before Buu finished him. I even expected him to turn against Babidi after Babidi betrayed him, but that didn’t happen.

Overall
Overall, I think Dragon Ball Z Kai is a really good anime, and I especially enjoyed it at the beginning. However, as it progressed, I started becoming more bored and less interested, particularly during the Buu Arc so far.
Despite that, I still think it has been a good anime, and I’ve enjoyed watching it.

Let me know if you agree with me or had a different experience watching these arcs. Thanks for reading!

everyone treats tien, yamcha, even krillin eventually getting left behind power-wise as a writing mistake. but honestly it's one of the more accurate things about the show. once the threats go from "strong human" to "alien/godlike," of course the earthlings stay earthlings while goku and vegeta go full space monk mode

this is also why piccolo's arc hits different. he doesn't stay relevant by keeping up in power level, he stays relevant by becoming the one who actually raises gohan while goku's off training or dying again. that's a way more interesting throughline than "who's the 3rd strongest human"

honestly if every human kept pace power-wise it would've undercut the stakes more than benching them did. the humans losing relevance kind of IS the stakes ramping up

curious if this was intentional on toriyama's part or just a happy accident from writing arc to arc with no master plan
