All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

I honestly dont know how to word it better
Maybe hust say that Goku is the OG? Like, saying that another series is just "mediocre weaker immitation" is def not okay to say, specially when the series in question has......honestlt very little in common with Dragon Ball
 
Agreed tho these days Naruto is lacking behind the rest of the HST with One Piece still having a iron cast monopoly on shonen manga industry plus the surprising success of the Netflix live action adaptation and Bleach's resurgence with the TYBW anime adaption, Kubo getting super involved with the community and ofc JJK as well as KNY essentially being Bleach's kids.
I mean...........i don't think that fits in the context of the point, but i guess? The Boruto Anime was in the tops in popularity iirc

i was gonna make an analogy and say Goku is like a Harvard graduate while Naruto is a community college drop out but that just sounds worse...
 
Even Naruto, which was one of the few with good anime games, is getting bad lately.

We have to be thankful that most DB games are good.

Seriously, that JJK game and this new HxH game look horrible. Not counting the older ones like OPM.

Meanwhile we have Xenoverse, Fighter Z, Kakarot and the new budokai tenkaichi looks incredible.

Even SandLand, which is not DB and is more unknown in the West, seems to be made with great care.

I mean, with the exception of THE BREAKERS. I don't know what happened in that game. But I won't complain too much because at least they tried to try a new style of gameplay and it is updated with new characters to this day even though there are few people.

Afaik, DB is on the Top 5 of most profitable fighting game franchises of all time
 
Is this an official DB info book?

lol, i know someone who will be happy to see this scan here

It is from the manual of a DBZ game that was supposedly made according to Toryiama´s ideas

But i don´t think it would upgrade the cosmology tbh

Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game, a tabletop roleplaying game, published by R. Talsorian Games (the Cyberpunk guys), and written almost exclusively by Mike Pondsmith (the Cyberpunk guy) (with material adapted from Cindy Fukunaga of Funimation Productions).

The reason terms like "Next Dimension" and "Home For Infinite Losers" are used is because the book was published in 1999, during a time period in which the only English dub of the first sixty-eight episodes (up until Goku defeats Jeice and Burter) was the Ocean dub.

also Dragon Ball Z's "Hades" that term was only ever used to refer to Hell in the ocean dub as far as I remember
 


This is one of the most emotional and impactful moments in Dragon Ball, seeing Vegeta encourage Goku to embrace his Saiyan heritage and emphasizing the sheer evil that was Frieza nearly driving the Saiyans is something that is rarely discussed by DB fans. It's instances like this that show that, no matter what has come after it or how popular it is, Dragon Ball will always remain at the top

Being able to see who liked my or other people's posts is so helpful for pattern recognition. I can see who obviously read all of my posts, but only liked the ones that were favorable towards the stuff they liked.

Bro you ain't slick 💀 you don't get to complain about people's preconceived notion of you when you do that

So I tried out that Sand Land game that just came out recently, from my perspective, it's okay honestly. Like it's not going to wow or amaze anyone, let alone do anything that hasn't been done before by other Action RPGs and better, but I think it's serviceable enough to be entertaining and if you like Toriyama's works outside of DB then you might enjoy it.

But yeah I don't have a lot to say about the game and, come to think of it, I'd rather stick to DBZ Kakarot
