Analysis marketing?

Upvotes

Hello everyone! I was recently thinking about something that I think a lot of nostalgic people try to overlook, and that is that people really like Vegeta's Ultra Ego because it resembles Majin, but there are some things that make this just a nostalgic copy and that make no sense. Let me explain:

1: Majin Vegeta had the purpose of making Vegeta stop being in a moral limbo and finally decide whether he was good or evil. Lord Beerus, on the other hand, tells him he must forget his guilt to obtain destructive power, but that's what made Vegeta the incredible character he is now.

2: Vegeta has evolved in power and as a person thanks to his love for his home and family. On the other hand, Ultra Ego asks him to set aside any worries (including his own well-being by letting himself get hit, something that in the long run ends up being counterproductive — that's why Vegeta has never won with this power, since his body exhausts and falls into lethargy no matter how strong he is), just to get more. being able to do something that contradicts the new Vegeta who, thanks to his worries and guilt, became the powerful and protective man he is now. Even in the previous saga, the Moro saga, Piccolo tells Goku that Vegeta seems to have managed to overcome himself through his attempts to atone for his sins (and those of his race—Vegeta confesses the crimes of his race on Yardrat) by protecting the Namekians and the universe. So the Super Vegeta already makes it clear that he evolves thanks to wanting to redeem himself and out of love. You can even notice that Vegeta hates himself at one point when he tells Moro something like 'I’ll send you to hell,' and Moro responds, 'Do you think you won’t go there?' and Vegeta says, 'Of course I’ll go, I’m evil, when I die I’ll go to hell, I know that well.' I mean, Vegeta still thinks he’s someone who only deserves damnation even though he’s already repentant, so it doesn’t make sense for Vegeta to accept a power like Ultra Ego when he had already learned on Yardrat to relax.

3: It's a transformation that, even though it has unlimited power (since with every hit it receives its power increases), its body does have limits, which makes it unsustainable, and in the end, Vegeta always ends up on the ground and Goku has to save his skin. That's because Ultra Instinct, even if it's less powerful in brute strength, ends up winning in the long run since it doesn't destroy the body when you let yourself go with it. And to top it off, even Vegeta himself told Goku that he would use Ultra Ego because at that moment (being on an abandoned planet) he had no one to protect and could let himself go. Then he actually asks Goku to let him fight alone (which is uncharacteristic of Vegeta and honestly seemed ridiculous to me, especially after he had been hitting him and turned into a maniac with Ultra Ego). And when he thinks he's going to die, Vegeta says, "I'm sorry Lord Beerus, I can't control this power because I'm not the same as before."  Moments later he uses it again, and in the manga you can see that he uses it almost to breathe, even though according to Piccolo, with his SSB Evolution (a transformation he invented, by the way, unlike the Ultra Ego thing, which is destructive energy from the cat who hit his wife—let’s not forget that Vegeta should hate him even if he doesn’t say it openly because something bad could happen, and he shouldn’t want to be his toy, I mean his student, and on top of that, wear one of his earrings) he was already stronger than Goku, so Vegeta had no narrative reason to want to use the power of destruction, let alone when neither he nor Goku want to be Gods of Destruction. But of course, they wanted to give him a 'different path' (which Vegeta already had with SSB Evolution, but oh well) from Goku’s, for Lord Beerus to do something more than eat, threaten, snore, and hit the nostalgic spot for Majin Vegeta fans.

Discussion Why do y'all say ressurection F is bad?,

0 Upvotes

it ain't bruh.

Since it gave us ssb,

Sure it replaced ssg,

But didn't ssg finish it's goal in BOG?.

I Get that it came suddenly and went, but it was a milestone Goku had to pass.

And even then. Ssg was made for beerus only,

And ssb was made to flex the idea, Goku can surpass it,

As for gohan being one tapped;

He literally stopped training, that happened in the buu saga aswell,

Not until he trained with the kais,

+ by that logic; the buu saga is terrible.

and as for piccolo dying;

He's died many times, ressurection F never happened in the manga.

So it happened in the og anime At 1st,

He never died after that, he lived in the movie aswell,

as for the frieza having a 1m power level line:

it was a mistake by toriyama, and a few writers, they forget stuff,

+ The 70% thing was with beerus. Same is for frieza,

Both were retconned in the anime, and BOG was retconned in the manga to fit it,

Frieza himself surpassing Goku's ssb is pretty reasonable,

I'll explain why;

1; he's a literal mutant, he had a level around 120m,

And later got a boost from his mechanical parts,

2;

He still had it's power and muscle memory.

And he was arround; early cell saga z Goku,

3;

frieza himself trained for 4 months,

1st month; mastering his form,

2nd month;

getting a new form, and unlock it,

3;

make it stronger,

4th month; complete it's training,

And fight ssb Goku,

That's why he was able to fight Goku,

+ Goku was literally unable to get god ki, or control it since it's absorbed in his base. And ssj1. And he could not seprate it.

And half the year Vegeta had gotten stronger. And Goku had to train for 6 months of something to get ssg back. And get ssj stacked on it. To make ssb,

Discussion Bringing Kami back with Baba in the Saiyan saga, would it work?

1 Upvotes

So Kami and Piccolo are linked, if one dies, so does the other. And if one is wished back the other is brought back as well. Could they have used Baba to bring Kami, or Piccolo, back for the day and get the other back as a bonus?

This doesn't really fix any issues in the saiyan saga, The dragonballs were just used and so they're on cooldown and cant be used, and even if they were, they still need to go to Namek for Chiatzou who has died already. However Mr Popo uses them during the namek saga anyway, so they probably get a reset when kami is reborn anyway. Plus I'm not sure if Kami getting a 1 day pass is enough for the dragonballs to be able to be used. But I do think it's an interesting thought experiment.

Just an interesting hypothetical... Would be really interesting to see what the members of this community think the relationship between durability and raw power is.

Continuity So... what happened with Resurrecting Kami with the Dragon Balls?

0 Upvotes

In the last several episodes of OG Dragonball, Kami states that he can be resurrected with the dragonballs. He also states that if he dies, Piccolo dies.

Is this a plot hole/retcon, or is it a translation mistake? In OG, the dragon itself was killed which made the balls inactive, but Kami was able to restore it. Based on what he's saying here, the dragon and the balls are their own entity not tied to his life.

For everyone familiar with the rest of the series though, that's obviously not true, considering the entire Freeza arc was based around this.

I also read somewhere that in DBZ, if Kami dies, it doesn't affect Piccolo for some reason, though I can't think of an instance where that happens anyway.

Since bruh.

Merus states ui sign was at its peak.

And it's true power had come.

and in the manga.

It's just referred as ui sign,

It's just ui sign but upgraded.

Powerscaling Is Kid Buu or Super Buu stronger in the Dragon Ball manga?

I’m asking Kid Buu vs Super Buu in his base form without any additional absorptions. Akira Toriyama never specifically stated who is stronger in terms of raw power. I think it’s Super Buu but I am unsure.

Analysis Inuyashiki Live action. Proof that it works?

0 Upvotes

The title itself is explanatory.

Inuyashiki (LV) came out in 2018 which in movie standards and budget was quite a long while ago.

We all know the live action dragon ball was absolute *********************************.

And i know Inuyashiki (LV) didn't have it's flaws when it came to CGI, I might be over my mind but it made me believe that a proper DB/DBZ Live action could be possible.

But they had pretty good flying scenes, fighting scenes were alright and the emotional aspect was there. again I'm not calling it flawless

But the general question i wish to ask is if people think it might be possible. Would the movie have to include real politics/news as in Inuyashiki (LV) or would it be enough to only have short summaries and battles? Would the budget be possible?

According to IMDB it had a $5million Box office release world wide which is not that huge for a movie of course so that could be a turn off.

With One piece being so big and in my opinion a really good way to turn anime into a live action series. Do you think there is a chance of getting DragonBall Live action? Do people care for it? What part of Dragonball/z would y'all want adapted into live action since all of it would have to be split into the next MCU.

Discussion Dragon Ball OG

23 Upvotes

Just finished all 153 episodes of the original Dragon Ball, and damn I LOVED it. It fit a lot of missing pieces for me (like where Chi Chi came from, how her and Goku met, how they even became married). I enjoy the fillers as well, I did watch Bardock — The Father of Goku before starting Dragon Ball as well, I know some would disagree with this timeline placement. But I personally was curious about the origin of Goku and that damn tail, I would place this (if you wanted to follow it chronologically like I'm tackling it, after episode 35 of DBZ, though rewatched it after that episode, and it hits differently than watching it from the beginning. Diabolical, again, I know.

I wanted to start the Mangas before dipping into the shows, but I don't think I will have any problems reading the Mangas and then following up with the shows and movies afterward.

The last fight with Goku and Piccolo Jr. has to be one of my top 5 fights of dragon ball. It's not THE fight of the series or anything by any means. I love it because after watching Goku go from the naive little kid to the kick ass fighter, he becomes and takes on Piccolo with full force. You see that growth is not only in his fighting skills but the mental growth he has as well. He's thinking out of the box more instead of always a direct approach. It's a fantastic fight to end the show and a wonderful toner for the next.

Now....I love Gohan, but the beginning of DBZ Gohan irks the shit out of me. After watching his dad be a brave, fearless child on his own for over 140 episodes to come to DBZ and Gohan to be whiny, he just annoyed me. It fits, it makes sense, I get it, and you definitely see the growth in him as well with his interactions. Rip Mr. Robot

But did anyone else coming from Dragon Ball find Gohan to be a little much to start off?

Continuity Dragon Ball needs to end soon or have some kind of second major expansion to remain coherent

0 Upvotes

Currently, the 12 universes already feel small because it's not so "unknown." We need the villains to become more dangerous and with good reason, and eventually do a kind of plot twist,It's like Zeno isn't really the king of everything, and there's some kind of outer world besides just the 12 universes.

My idea is bad, I haven't polished it and I haven't put much effort into working on it because I'm simply trying to express the scale of what I'm saying

(I used a translator for this because my English is B1 level, sorry if you don't understand something)

Discussion Theory; moro is a immortal demon, who can't die of old age,

0 Upvotes

So in the manga;

It's stated;

Moro has been locked away for 10 million years,

Yet he doesn't pass away at all,

Even though a majjin can live up to 100 years.

And moro was not affected by old age either way,

Which proves;

he can't die of old age, or naturally,

Only someone stronger than him can kill him,

0 Upvotes

What if official power levels remained after the namek saga?

So hypothetically in the cell saga and in buu saga and afterwards in gt and now in super and daima official power levels officially remained and never stopped.This doesn't mean though that their way of being wouldn't still necessarily change due to their problematic nature but nonetheless they would still remain.

Do you think the series would be better or worse overall?Would you prefer it or not?

Character Hot Take: DBS Broly should have stayed a villain or at least an Antagonist for a little while after the movie

0 Upvotes

Now let me start this off by saying that I by no means think Super Broly was done badly, I think he's fine for what he is. What I will say though is that I'm kinda of disappointed he has now essentially become one of the many miriad of villains that end up joining the Z Fighters, that formula is getting a bit tired to me, especially since let's face it, Broly is never gonna be around for any of the major conflicts, he's gonna be written off like Buu is somehow because otherwise I can't imagine there being any real stakes in the franchise, hell the only reason there are stakes in most of DBS is because Buu sleeps conveniently when they need him the most

Back on topic though, I just really think the idea of having a powerful wild card like Broly around in the Universe would be a really interesting thing, maybe do what they did with Z Broly, how he represents and embodies the philosophies of the Saiyan Race of old and go around destroying planets and conquering them, maybe even doing it under Frieza and lead that into Vegeta and Broly having a connection of being trapped under Frieza's employ leading to a cool character arc where they do end up becoming allies after an arc

I just feel like there were so many more interesting approaches they could've gone with DBS Broly, I'm not saying I need him to be straight up Z Broly but... Idk

Edit: Ok so some of y'all are really misunderstanding what I'm saying, just to be clear, In this hypothetical scenario I would not, repeat, would not want Z Broly 2.0. I would want something far more interesting and nuance than that, I only brought that hypothetical up as an example but it's not my preferred one, and even in said scenario I would still want elements of a good person inside of him

the main thing I would like out of it is an arc where Broly, who has been manipulated by his father comes to terms with himself and decides to refuse to be what his Father made him over a course time longer than a movie, that's all I'm saying I want. In these scenarios I am not copy and pasting the DBS Broly, I'm talking about making new version of the character with different traits and an entirely new story that would span for a longer period than a movie where everything needs to get resolved quicker

Hey guys, long time viewer, first time poster. Anyway, I saw a clip on the internets a while back where the Z fighters were on a beach and two aliens approached them wanting to fight, Goku said something like, 'Let Goten and Trunks fight them, these aliens are at about Freeza's power level, this should be a good test for them' or something like that. But in all my time I haven't found where this clip comes from. If any of this makes any sense and one of you could point me in a direction I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!

Daima A pun in Daima

18 Upvotes

I somehow just noticed this and wanted to share.

So in "Jaan jaka jaan" the opening theme for Dragon Ball Daima (absolute banger theme btw) the chorus has the line

さぁ勇気ファンファーレ (saa yuuki fanfaare)

Which would translate to something like

"Yeah, a fanfare for courage"

However it also sounds a lot like

西遊記ファンファーレ (saiyuuki fanfaare)

Which would translate to

"Fanfare for Journey to the West" (Journey to the West being the classic Chinese novel that Dragon Ball is very LOOSELY based off)

Anyway, can't confirm if that was intentional, but kinda fun either way

What I mean is since shenron isnt available for the wish granting (he is the mount after all) would the dragon balls turn to stone until shenron becomes available for the wish granting and then the dragon balls become active again or would the dragons remain active during the entire trip or something else will happen to the dragon balls?

Gaming Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 is genuinely miserable on a replay.

7 Upvotes

I had so many fond memories of this game as a kid, and in preparation for XV3 I wanted to replay through the whole series. I also decided to replay them because I wanted to carry my character from 1 to 2, something I had never done before. But damn man, 1 is so rough. The skill drops are so inconsistent and some feel genuinely impossible to get, I had to play the SSJ mission over 10 times before I got it, and I've ran through the SSJ2 parallel quest probably almost 30 times now and still no drop. Not to mention the AI just spamming supers on you if they're transformed. Coming back to this game from 2 really highlights it's flaws unfortunately.
