I am not sure if anyone else has thought this bit the two new majins Kuu and Duu remind me of the failed fusion dance results. Why if they end up fusing with the demon fuse bugs? I feel like that could happen.

Controversial opinion

18 Upvotes

I just wanna see who else out there agrees with this sentiment…

I like DB, DBZ, DBGT, DBS, DBD. I like the manga and anime, the games and the movies. And you know what I like Toriyamas work but I also like the universe in general.

Toriyama created an amazing universe but I also acknowledge others can extend on it. Just because something is not directly affiliated with toriyama doesn’t automatically make it bad. Toriyama was a great guy for giving us DB but hes not a god.

Anyway this post is a safe space for people who want to just share how much they like those areas of DB that people frown on.

Daima Akira changed where the demon realm was or so I thought

Upvotes

I think I only read about it in one of the games maybe Buus Fury, but where Dabura came from was the other side of earth. Silly to think that goku never came across it, but I remember them referring to the other side of the earth being the demon realm like a flip of a coin. Basically saying that American was the demon world 😂 .

Discussion Trunks and alternate Timeline analysis

1 Upvotes

What I have noticed throughout the story if dragon ball and super in trunk’s timeline is a very overlooked concept, the fragility of life. Trunks exists in a timeline where every death matters, hundreds die daily and he is constantly plagued by the death of his friends. In the alternate timeline of Goku and Gohan defeating cell they are privileged, they never have to fear if they lose someone permanently thanks to the dragonballs (to some extent e.g natural causes), it makes the stakes a lot less dangerous in some cases and makes you realise just how fragile life is in the dragon ball world. In times like Majiin Buu or the saiyan arc the countless deaths of others were overlooked just because they have the dragonballs, Trunk’s world brings in a new concept of a completely permanent deaths where life is even more fragile then it was before. With world ending threats seemingly coming every few years or so it is often overlooked just how fragile and finite the world of dragonballs is.

Discussion Am I The Only One Who Thinks That Goku Knew?

6 Upvotes

So I‘m rewatching the entire Dragon Ball franchise, with movies and the specials. And I’ve reached the first leg of the final arc of the Cell Saga (The 10 days before the Cell Games kick off) And Goku and Gohan are chilling in their Super Saiyan forms, not really training or doing much.

Before I get to the point, I just wanna say, I know that the reason why Goku decides not to train or further Gohan’s training before the Cell Games being that Goku wasn’t worried because he knew Gohan would be the one who would beat Cell, and that Gohan was already stronger than him. And because of that knowledge… opting not to train and just relax and smell the roses, was the best thing Goku could give Gohan.

But I can’t help but wonder if maybe Goku knew that he wasn’t going to live much longer after/during the Cell Games. Maybe it was a feeling he got in the Time Chamber, or maybe he knew instantly when he met up with Cell in his Perfect Form. And he’s clearly okay with the fact that his time on Earth is up, because of what he witnessed from Gohan in the Time Chamber. He’s okay with dying because his successor to protect the Earth is one, his son and two a new generation. So he doesn’t have anything to worry about on that front. So he opts for family time instead, time with Chi-Chi, time with Gohan, time with the both of them—the two most important people in his life a few more good cherish-able memories to remember him by when he’s gone.

I don’t know there’s a moment where Goku mentions not forgetting the memories to Gohan when they’re fishing with Krillin that kinda made me wonder if on some level he knew that he was going to die soon whether it’s during the Cell Games or after, he just knew it was very soon.

If nothing else, it’s my head canon Anyway.

First Time Posting Here and My What If

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am MedaMatchaElite and this is my first time posting on the main DBZ subreddit.

Came here from r/MasakoX 's subreddit because I wanted to branch out to see if anyone was interested in reading a continuation of MasakoX's What-If Bardock Convinced The Saiyans/What-If Bardock Was King of The Saiyans on YouTube.

I call it What-If Bardock Convinced The Saiyans Season 2 (very original I know). I've put a lot of effort into writing it so far, with six chapters dedicated to a prelude series and the main story now having 19 chapters so far.

I've been more often than not on or off when it comes to writing this so don't be surprised if this series goes dark for one to two months (sometimes even more).

I do have the story in full up on FanFiction but due to bots/scammers trying to trick me into "wanting to team up to bring my vision to life" I've since moved to Archive Of Our Own to post more Chapters. Not to say I won't stop posting there but who knows.

I'll leave a link below for anybody interested in reading, and I hope to hear feedback as it does help me with my writing.

Thanks you!

Discussion THIS moment during the Namek saga

Post image
2.0k Upvotes

Such an accurate description of Goku during this point in the saga, King Kai knows all too well. This indeed wasn’t Son Goku anymore, he was a different being entirely, HELL bent on avenging his best friend along with countless others, while also simultaneously giving in to his insatiable lust for battle. Getting lost and consumed in his rage and satisfaction of defeating Frieza. Further proving Frieza was right when describing the Saiyan race, but also that he was wrong based on the ending of the fight when Goku shows mercy and even sympathy towards the tyrant.

Arguably the greatest fight in all of anime ends with a sad, empty expression on Goku’s face, knowing that it’s over, that he’ll never get this again(at least in this point in the story). That he just lost the greatest sparring partner he’ll ever get.

While maybe not a multi-layered, morally complex character, Goku’s character is still executed phenomenally by Toriyama during this time. I hate when people say he’s a bad character, or that he has no character, which is quite literally not true.
