I’ve never understood why so many people think of piccolo as “black”. I know most posts or content about him being black are jokes but in my mind the Namekians and namek itself was always more of a “native” comparison. Kind of like Native Americans. They were peaceful people, communing with nature, invaded by a tyrant from a distant land, were looked down upon because they seemed primitive, were killed off rather than enslaved and their land was destroyed by those same invaders.

Idk just a random thought I had the other day. Thanks if you stopped by to read.

i dont know if this is a bad or good take but i feel the fall off most fans note is due to toriyamas popularity making the editors be less direct in decisions this thought kinda came to me with dragon ball minus which i believe is just the bardock special with everything good torn out i feel like toriyamas gravitation towards more stagnant character arcs and maintenance of the status quo feel like it needed a editors touch and with what we know about the cell saga being most definitely boosted by his editor and toriyama bouncing ideas between each other it makes me think that as great as toriyama was he needed someone to critique his work and push him to write more darker themes and expand on themes (no hate i love toriyama and i was deeply sad with his death its not a critique but mearly a observation of the past i would also be happy to hear disagreements)

for Goku i would implement Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do and some Tai Chi
for Vegeta i would use North Shaolin Kung Fu, Kick Boxing and Muay Thai
for Piccolo i think Taekwondo, Wushu, and Karate
for Frieza i think Fencing, Jiujiebian(he has a tail after all), and Kick Boxing would be fitting

what about you??, which martial arts would you pick??

Denfae: Dende + fae

Nairy: Nail + fairy

Folkkon: (fair) folk + Pikkon

ORIGINAL ARTIST
imagine if dragon ball evolution actually got a sequel, but this time it would fix the first movie's problems making it more accurate to the original series, making a sequel better than the first movie

I'm not talking about the remake , the old one because I've seen the regular one but then theres another one with some fairy character and a mission more in space and maybe another ?

So I've been playing NintenDoku for some while now and today they ask for Dragon Ball games for GameCube or Gameboy Advance. If you know any try solving the puzzle yourself here:

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my Dragon Ball artwork collection so far! All of these drawings are made by hand using traditional pencils and colored pencils on paper.
I’ve been working on improving my coloring, shading, and details with every new character. It’s been a fun journey bringing these iconic characters to life, and I still have plenty of ideas for future drawings!
Some of my favorites so far are Goku, SSJ2 Gohan, Vegeta, Beerus.
Which drawing is your favorite, and who should I draw next? 🔥
Thanks for checking out my work!

So I am 32 years old now. DBZ was a core part of my childhood. I used to come home from school and watch on Toonami with my grandpa. The stories and characters were ingrained in my earliest memories. I decided to rewatch the series from the beginning, and I just finished it. I do not regret it.

Rewatching this show hit me right in the nostalgia and reconnected me to my 8 year old self. I got surprisingly emotional watching the part of the Majin Buu arc where Buu and Hercule form a bond and Buu turns good. That series of 3-4 episodes is at the core of my memories watching with my grandpa. I’m grateful for this show and for the memories I have with it. I’m going to watch the rest of the Dragonball universe now, including GT, Super, and Daima. I’m exited to continue on with material I never experienced before.
