It actually depends on the media, since in some cases she gets called Bulma Briefs, in one of the english dubs Trunks got called Trunks Briefs and I think in GT he also got called Mr.Briefs.

Just so everyone knows, no true dragon ball fan knew Krillin didn’t have a nose. Nobody. Not until that article was released.

He's called Mr. Brief because that's his name. Dubs aren't canon, so those are irrelevant. Only actual media that calls her Bulma Briefs is Dragonball Evolution, which is a huge no.

If Bulma’s surname was Briefs, then her name would be Briefs Bulma to follow Japanese naming conventions.

by "him" I meant Trunks.

That's incorrect. Bulma's name is written in kana, so it would be Bulma Brief if that were her surname, since the "surname first" rule only applies to names written in kanji, like Goku.

Proof of Trunks being called Brief?

I... did not know that.

I do not have proof, however I heard about it from a friend so I went with it, although I could be heavily incorrect and none of them get called that.

Anyhow, I do find it interesting that the Son family keeps their surname, something Videl noted to Gohan was odd, which makes me question why no one else has surnames. Like, going by this, it looks it was something done in the past that was dropped for some reason, so I'm intrigued on what lead to such development in their society.

I guess Toriyama didn't think to give any other character surnames, that or he felt it was unneascary to know who's who but that's my guess anyway

Could be something that was done in a particular area and they stopped it after being in contact with the rest of the world for a while. Or it kinda faded away after Piccolo almost destoyed humanity the first time.
Or it's just something they only do in certain part of the world and it's just rare for someone to have a last name in most place of the world.
It's not like every civilisation IRL used family names either.

In case y'all are interested, this is a sketch of an unused version of Janemba who's been possessed by Baby and brainwashed by Towa and Babidi drawn by Toyotaro

Huh, what range of speed would this result in?

Someone got over 40 million c.

40 Million c? That's a big fall from being in the quadrillions.
Does that mean that Goku crossing the afterlife in Z is faster then Super?

Yes.

Isn't Goku crossing the Afterlife the best speed feat in all Dragon Ball?
- 6,590

Pretty much it seems, at least one that can be scaled to other characters
- 8,846
- 9,509
Too bad it can’t be scaled to super.
- 6,590

Yeah.
Also I'm gonna assume that this week is gonna be when we start getting raw scans of DBS Chapter 67 so what do y'all think is going to happen at the end of this arc?

End of Z.
- 15,920

End of Z won't be happening until like, the end of Super, and we have like two more years left before reaching that, so I doubt that's coming any time soon.

I mean, the similarities between DBS 66 and DBZ 322 are pretty apparent.

@Nullflowerblush like the way how Kid Buu and Moro were defeated respectively?

That and the little ending panel, with Goku smiling and looking back at the viewer.

In all of it, no, whis' feat is greater IIRC.
It is the best that pretty much everyone worth a damn can scale.
- 6,590

Why is it that most of the time, it's the non canon parts of DB that have better feats then the canon parts?
- 6,590
- 8,974
Speaking of Super, if this is the end of the manga for now then we'll be further deprived of new DB content
- 4,451

There’s always stuff like DBH ig though I don’t keep up with it and don’t know if it’s ended
- 4,451

usually non-canon stuff is other timelines, meaning the characters can have different strengths (broly from older movies was stated to be a threat to the entire northern quadrant, and then stated to be a threat to the universe in LSSJ I think)
- 8,846

Who said it was the end? There was another arc that was said to be next.
- 6,590
- 8,974
@Zamasu_Chan oh I see, well hopefully it doesn't end bad like the Moro arc did
- 5,235

I think is because being non-canon means the writters can go balls in the walls and make a massive threat wihout conflicting with the plot since, well who cares if 7/10 of all galaxies got destroyed if this is an alternate timeline?
Also they don't need to follow the feats timeline in dbz, which they are aware of, so they don't think "this villain came before cell, who's max power was going to destroy the solar system, maybe i should make him nuke a star instead"
Look at the old broly movie, he nuked a galaxy overtime, but he was weaker than cell who was going to destroy just the solar system, he even states it in the anime, why did they make a weaker villain a billion times more impressive? Because they don't need to care about "power progress" that much since this won't be inside the main timeline.
Speed feats have less of a excuse since idk if they care about the levels instead of the scaling and they are just "he went from X to Y" and then the fans find the timeframe.
Look at the goku afterlife feat, they litwrally just made goku go kick some bad guys ass and just because he didn't take a million years, he ended up gaining one of the best speed feats in the franchise.

Fair enough, and there's all the stuff that Janemba did in Fusion Reborn and not even counting games like Shin Budokai, Xenoverse and Heroes
- 5,235
- 2,631
The janemba stuff was done via magic so i think they cared even less since they didn't treat it as sheer power, then they made goku shake everything lmao, although MAYBE they intention weren't for the whole universe to be shaken, somehow.
The games are even worse because they can create their own timelines and do whatever, even introducing new concepts just to make them even stronger, like heroes/senoverse throwing a big ass multiverse there

Yeah but Janemba was pretty strong on his own since he smacked around Ssj3 Goku and Ssj2 Vegeta even when the former shook the entire afterlife by transforming

What do you all think of this? I personally think that when you compare who Broly fought in comparison to proceeding villains he'd be weaker then Janemba and Hirudegarn
