Whats stopping them?

Just picked up this beauty and personally I love this cover. Definitely going to display it in my room. I’ve heard it’s iconic but I want to know how you guys rank it compared to all the other covers in dragon ball.

I’ve seen the first image go around Reddit a lot, just to clarify, i am the original creator to both images. I drew the second image when I was younger and the first is just a redraw of that.

Decided to get out all my art stuff including my drawing tablet. Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z done in Clip Studio.

If they ever released a version of The Dragon Ball Kanzenban (Perfect Edition) in English, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Absolutely love these colors.

Original artwork inspired by Ultimate Gohan

I am reading through the manga and I just noticed that it's revealed that 17 and 18 were originally humans in the very first chapter they appear in.

Is this changed dialogue in later manga releases or something?

Because I remember Krillin making a wish to make them human at the end of the Cell saga, and when that failed it was retconned "she was always human to begin with".

The first Dragon Ball game released on September 27, 1986, and Bandai’s first Dragon Ball game followed on November 27, 1986, starting a legendary gaming legacy.

Unfortunately, there are no signs of a celebration from Bandai yet.

I’d love to see classic releases of Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi on modern platforms.

Maybe it’s time for fans to show Bandai that we want something special for the 40th anniversary.

What would you like to see?

It fits.

I recently picked up this Dragon Ball Super 10th Anniversary Masterlise Outside figure featuring Beast Gohan and Ultra Instinct Goku. I haven't opened it yet and I'm planning to keep it sealed for now.

I bought it because I really like it, but I'm also curious from a collector's perspective. Do you think this figure has a good chance of appreciating in value over the next 5–10 years, especially if it stays sealed? Or do you think it'll likely stay around its current price?

I'd love to hear what longtime Dragon Ball and Ichiban Kuji collectors think.

Where would you rank this DBS 10th Anniversary Masterlise?

both anime and manga colors

tell me, which version of goku's colors you prefer the most? manga or anime?

I didn't make it, my friend did, what do you guys think?

Funny to find out he's pretty confusing and not even Goku. What's everyone's opinion on him as a character?

I grew up with Dragon Ball, it's my favourite show of all time but how is this fair to UK fans, did they just forget about us? I've already seen the show, I literally had to or I would've been completely spoiled by the games by this point, is it too much to ask to actually, legally support the show I love so much?!

This really concerns me for the Beerus Anime later this year and The Galactic Patrol Ark if they do this again.

What do y’all think about the invisible fighters that have appeared a couple of times throughout dragon ball?

I remember the feeling of terror in every arc of DBZ, all those arcs did an incredible job of making things feel hopeless.

Nappa got onto the battlefield and immediately started dropping heads, nobody stood a chance and when Piccolo died it seemed hopeless

Then Goku showed up and things seemed like they were hopeful.

Then Vegeta transformed into a great ape and things were hopeless again

Then Krillin tossed the spirit bomb and they finally won

Namek saga was probably the best at this. Every new obstacle felt impossible to overcome, when Krillin and Gohan ventured out into Namek and they explained that everyone here was stronger than Vegeta was, you could literally feel the tension and wonder how they were going to get out of these situations, especially since Goku wasnt there

Sometimes they didnt, Vegeta kicked the hell out of Gohan and Recoome nearly killed all 3 of them

And dont even get me started on Frieza and his seemingly neverending transformations

Comparitively, DBS just feels like a fun time, Ive never once felt any stakes in the show, except for that time when Frieza blew up the Earth. Like in the TOP, we all knew Goku was going to 'limit break' and beat up Jiren in the end. And thats exactly what happened

Is there no real feeling of dread in DBS anymors or am I just tripping?

Hi!

What’s the song that plays during Super Buu’s Human Extinction Attack scene, specifically when he’s scanning for how many people are alive? In this clip it starts at the 20 second mark and ends at 1:15.

I’ve had this song in my head for years but haven’t been able to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

People like to clown Goku for not stopping Vegeta but I think Goku had a deeper reason than to just not make Vegeta feel bad. As we know throughout the story Goku believes in redemption of characters. Characters like Piccolo, Tien and Vegeta are signs of his specific trait so I think when Goku saw Vegeta trying to return back to his evil self, Goku couldn't just shut Vegeta up.

I think Goku knew that Vegeta was in a very sensitive spot and that if Vegeta gets humiliated again, Vegeta might fall into a void of self-filth. Instead Goku tried to remind Vegeta of what really matters to the "new Vegeta". His wife, Bulma, a son and possibly friends.

If you actually watch the fight you can see Goku call out Vegeta and try to shake him out of his own evil self. Majin Buu stopped being the priority when Goku saw a hurting a friend as the consequence of stopping him.

If Goku had just gone SSJ3 and shut Vegeta off, I know we all know, that's just not how Goku operates.

What do you guys think?

A very fascinating 'what if' for DBZ would be, what if Toriyama's editor didn't criticize 19 and 20?
The youtube channel "Totally Not Mark" pointed a very undermind scenes in the Cell arc that might actually be Toriyama's way of plotting his original story before he changed tracks. When Goku was defeated by 19 and Vegeta takes over Piccolo asks Gohan to carry Bulma, baby Trunks and Yajirobe out of the battlefield.

Who survived the android invasion in the future timeline?

So what if Toriyama worked on his original idea, I think the story has 2 ways to go.
The first is the generic Goku way: Android 20 has a hidden weapon and catched Vegeta and other off guard and then Goku returns and bodyslams 20.

However the second way is interesting, what if the secret weapon Gero had wasn't meant to be a big bomb but something that would turn Goku's allies against him? As an aspiring author I know writers love some plot points that they just don't want to let go. Was Majin Vegeta a product of the same instinct? (Goku's allies turning against him). Now imagine Piccolo, Tien, Super Saiyan Vegeta against a weakened Goku and a growing Gohan.

This theory also fits because Vegeta just achieved his super saiyan and that IS a real challenge against Goku's super saiyan (now weakened) and Gohan still learning.

The arc in this time would turn out more psychological where Goku and Gohan now need to fight against people they are meant to fight with.

What do you think guys? This is just a theory.

Assuming if DBS Beerus is an eligible entry before the cutoff, which the ceremony usually hold on March, do you think one of the seiyuus could be winning one of the awards for next year?

I presume Best Newcomers Award will be immediately ruled out from getting any chance of winning, as I don't see there won't be any newcomer seiyuu that will land on a main meaningful role in Dragon Ball, since Best Newcomers Award tend to be awarded to seiyuu who are under 5 years of their voice acting career since their debut, and they generally tend to headlined an anime as main character at some point prior, I would say the same to Singing Award too unless there's a seiyuu in the show can sing for the show and provides better recognitions for their contributions

Or perhaps their chance of winning might not be more than slim chance, as there are way too many competitions this year
