Title: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: KT 💣 KλBoƠM on March 14, 2015, 10:52:47 pm
A member of the IA (insomniacs-anonymous) Guild (ya not clan) mentioned this today and I thought this would interest Sandman:

Quote
[IA] SqualZell:
so i just learned that Dragon Ball GT is non cannon (Stated by Akira Toriyama) and there is such thing as Super Sayan God
[IA] Noodles:
DBZ was supposed to end at Frieza
[IA] SqualZell:
well it ended at "battle of the gods" where goku reaches Super Saiyan God and goes against the god Beerus, and in april 15th they releasing Battle of Gods 2 where Freeza comes back and becomes Golden Frieza


No links but I did a search and only found this: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5411 (http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5411)

Well, squalzell is correct and the latest dbz movie was just last year called "battle of gods" and there is a new movie coming out some time this year where frieza returns.

Every critic out there gave dragonball evolution a rather poor rating.  And let's not go where the true DBZ fan boys went with that.  :-X

But hey, there is some pretty entertaining fan made material out there.  Like this Dragonball Absalon (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFumqlOOt7nv4h_FGyZYF6Q) series.  It's suppose to take place after dragonball GT.

Or this one DragonBall Z - Episode of Bardock (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nINtdWsjkk).  This is suppose to place how Frieza had learned of the legend of the "super saiyan".

Well, I'm not sure how much of the dragonball saga you have actually seen.  But it was broken into 3 series and several movies.  Dragonball was when the star Goku was just a small boy that went on many adventures.  Dragonball Z series, Goku is then an adult with a child of his own.  Much more entertaining, even for the adults.  Dragonball GT series came after that and IMO, the first half seem to be targeted towards kids again.  It doesn't get interesting until super saiyan 4 gets introduced.   But if you want to watch, here is a great link.  http://www.dbz.tv/


But anyway, this thread started by mentioning 2 new recent movies added to the dragonball Z series.  The first of which that is out now, Dragonball Z - Battle of the Gods (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWnCIJ9EU90).  The 2nd, Dragonball Z - Battle of the Gods 2 has not yet been released in the US.  But you should be able to find something on it on YouTube.

Goku didn't have a tail but his son Gohon did right?
Title: Re: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: Sandman[SA] on March 27, 2015, 10:33:25 pm
Goku didn't have a tail but his son Gohon did right?

Goku had a tail throughout a good part of the dragonball series.  It was cut off and grew back a couple of times.  In dragonball Z series, Goku didn't have a tail at all but his first son Gohan did.  His too was cut off and grew back a couple of times.  Goku's 2nd son Goten never had a tail.  Neither did Vegeta's son Trunks.  But during the early part of the Z series, Vegeta, Nappa and Goku's brother Radditz had tails.   In dragonball GT, Goku and Vegeta grew their tails back again in order to ascend to super saiyan 4.

Here is a mystery fighter that has never been seen before in any official dragon ball series or movies.  But is widely popular throughout the dragon ball fan community.   Lets see who can name him and what he is?
Title: Re: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: Sandman[SA] on April 09, 2016, 09:30:53 pm
For any dragon ball fans, I found this, what I believe to be a fan made series, called Dragon Ball Super (http://gogoanime.io/dragon-ball-super-episode-1).  It's really quite good.  It's Japanese but has English sub titles so you can follow along.

It seems to follow along with the 2 recent movies.  Then takes it farther.  It was written somewhat differently then the movies but still held to the story.  Even tries to explain how Vegeta managed to acquire the god form.

Why do you think it is fan made?  It looks very typical of a Japanese company that has also put out Sailormoon and they are not fan made but a real company. This is just DBZ in Japanese.
Title: Re: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: Sandman[SA] on April 11, 2016, 08:45:35 pm
Why do you think it is fan made?

Because it's not on a official site.  And the official sources have not mentioned anything about this new series.  That's why I think it's fan made.
Title: Re: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: Sandman[SA] on April 12, 2016, 11:03:31 pm
Okay, so after some research, I found that DBS is in fact written by the original DBZ author Akira Toriyama.  And is being produced by Toei Animation.  So it is the real deal.  Cool.

Also, you can watch and download all the episodes here.  http://watchdbzsuper.com/

Because I watch Japanese anime with subtitles as they are more accurate and not "Americanized" (For example Sailormoon was made real ditzy even though in the original Japanese she is not THAT ditzy) I recognized that it was a REAL company and not fan made.

Also ... just because it is put onto a fan site does not mean the video itself is fan made lol  :D

Also SqualZ said this since he is a huge DBZ fan as well:

Quote
KT its not fan made, it is the official continuation of the Bragon Ball Saga. Dragon Ball super. 2 movies. and a series. where Goku and Vegeta become Gods. and currently are fighting in tournament between Universe 6 and 7. The winner gets 1 with from the super dragon balls that are the size of planets (revealing the dragon god) they are up to episode 38 and they release every sunday http://www.dragonballsuper.tv/
Title: Re: Dragon Ball Z talk
Post by: Sandman[SA] on April 14, 2016, 10:30:32 pm
I know what you mean.  I have gotten used to hearing their "Americanized" voices.  That when I hear their voices in "Japanese" it gets a little difficult to tell who is who.  Goku sounds like a girl.  lol

And yeah, I am eagerly awaiting the next episodes.  Episode 38 had Vegeta (universe 7) vs Hit (universe 6).  Vegeta as ssgss (super saiyan god super saiyan but now they are calling it ssb.  super saiyan blue) got his ass handed to him and now it's Goku's turn to face Hit.  At this point, it's suggested that Vegeta may actually be a little stronger then Goku now.  But from what I can tell, they seem to be equal in strength.  It's been said that Hit, although very powerful, is not quite as powerful as a super saiyan god.  But Hit has to the ability to stop time for 0.1 seconds.  And this is how he defeated Vegeta.  It will be interesting to see how Goku can handle that technique.

Got to wait 20 more hours for the subtitled version of episode 39 but the raw version is out now.  And man, what a fight!  Best fight so far!  I only wish I could understand what they are saying.  :'(

Episode 40 is out and subtitled.  This episode is the conclusion to the tournament.  And the power up Goku added IS kaioken x10.  And while using SSGSS (super saiyan god super saiyan) form, he has awesome power now!   Come watch and see how the fight ends.  You won't believe it.

Hell yeah, I'm loving it!!

Well now that team universe 7 won the match, they get to make a wish from a dragon god.  lol  He is spawned from planet sized dragon balls.  I suppose episode 41 will be when they make the wish.  After that, I don't know.  But since we are only up to episode 40, there is still plenty of story to tell.

Hey.  Check out this fight.  Vegito vs Xicor.  In case you don't know who they are, Vegito is a Ki earing fusion of Goku and Vegeta.  And Xicor is a abomination created from Goku's DNA to replace Frieza as the new tyrant of the universe by a rouge supreme Ki.  During this time line, I'm certain that both Goku and Vegeta can transform into SSJ4.  And I think Goku a least has the potential to reach SSJ5.  But he doesn't show it here.
Start watching from 2:04 to get right to the actual video.

The more you play it the more I wonder if I would like it myself.

Try to tell me what makes the game so great even for those who are not into DBZ but like "super hero type games" or anime in general.

It's a matter of personal taste honestly.  I am a dragon ball Z fanboy.  So naturally, a game like this has interest to me.

This DBZ game, like many others, allows the player to relive the story of the series.  Mainly all the battles that the Z fighters had so much trouble fighting.  But you (being the player) get to be the hero and save the day this time.  You progress in strength and battle skill just like they did with your custom made character.  Or you can fight as any one of the original Z fighters, once you unlock them of course.  This is a MMO style game so once you progress enough to unlock multiplayer mode, you can play with friends or test your skills against other players.

I do like myself some custom character creation..

I do like myself some custom character creation..

Indeed you can create your own custom character.  But sadly, the actual customization is a bit limited.  You can pick male or female, and choose from any one of 5 races.   Human, Saiyan, Buu, Namekian and Frieza.  Each race has skills, move sets and traits the others lack.  Also, the size of your character can effect your desired play style.  So keep this in mind while your setting up your character for your intended play style.

Example: smaller is harder to hit, is slightly faster and has weaker melee attacks, but has stronger energy wave attacks with less overall energy reserve.  The opposite goes for taller / bulkier characters.

It is unknown at this point.  Akira Toriyama was the lead in DBS, but had a team of talent doing the bulk of the work.  So, who knows if we will ever see any more official content again.  I certainly hope we do.  The man and legend maybe gone.  But his work lives on in the hearts and creative minds of his fans.

Well, DBS has already started to change the feel of the experience.  In DB and DBZ, Goku just wanted to train to get stronger and had many crazy adventures along the way.  Always the hero and didn't boast much about his power.  DBGT mostly sucked.  The only thing cool about GT was SSJ4.  But in DBS, Goku constantly wanted to test his might against incredibly strong opponents.  Practically picking fights with almost anyone that could give him a fight.  Where yes, the highlights are the dramatic fights.  I won't argue with that.  But anyone that has watched the entire series all the way through, will notice the change in Goku's overall personality.
