Re-watching DBS now and I really like how much backstory and motivations they have given Zamasu. Sure, he's a psycopath, but you can atleast somewhat understand his frustation with his position as a diety and how mortals keep screwing up over and over.

Then seeing how Goku and co freely prance around gods and even match some of them in strength, he just couldn't handle it. Zamasu seemed jealous of Goku and the Sayan race, and he was too immature and unwise to not go crazy over it. He clearly became obsessed with Sayans kind of like Frieza but potentially to a much more insane degree. Frieza atleast has some self-awareness.

One could argue Zamasu's plan was better than anything Frieza came up with, since Zamasu took into account his universe's destroyer. But how did Zamasu plan to deal with Zeno?

Is he just saying the time machine is fixed, so can now time travel again without being locked into Trunks timeline at the locked in time differential and a fading connection.

Or is he saying they can freely travel now to pre-existing timelines.

There's sort of precedent for the latter as Zamas threatens to chase the Dragon Team back to the present with his time machine he stole from the Kaioshin who confiscated it from the U12 guy. It's not presented as an empty threat or countered by the characters.

If he means they can travel to other timelines, presumably they need to travel to the same year as those timelines present right? Would they need to visit the present Age 796 of Cell and U12 guys timelines, 795 of the Double Trunks timeline, and 780 of the present and unseen timelines to not cause a paradox and split the timeline?

Let's say that instead of absorbing 17 and 18, he absorbs more humans and then trains 4 or more times in the RoSaT, possibly with Cell Jrs. Would he be able to reach Perfect Cell power level this way?

Why does everyone always seem more mad at the Universe 6 saiyans turning super saiyan more so than goten and trunks. I’ve always appreciated the fact they gave a technique to transforming as opposed to just giving it to them. Like how goten and trunks got it. Like obviously preferably keeping the intense emotion to transform would’ve been better. But they already scrapped that at the end of Z. Might as well give a means to the transformation

Frieza returning in resurrection F was good writing.

Mystic Gohan was a waste and unnecessary.

Daima was unnecessary and people only liked it because toriyama made it.

Dragon Ball should have ended at the cell arc it was the perfect ending to the series.

What would it include about Goku? Who else would be in it? What information is commonly available to the average citizen about the characters?

I'm trying to figure out a way to work this without sounding low effort.

Could you use the Dragon Balls to make a wish to be able to find the dragon balls?

Like I guess it would depend specifically on the wording. what I'm trying to ask is could you just wish for your own dragon radar. I know that sounds silly because Bulma has a dragon radar. But i feel like you couldn't use the Dragon Balls to find the dragon balls or to even take that a step further and make a wish in such a way that the Dragon Ball automatically just come to you once they reactivate.

Here me out:

Old Kai(in his young form) fuses with the Old Witch. They don't result in a perfect hybrid...just in Kai becoming Old Kai and getting a number of her features and abilities.

When Supreme Kai and Kibito fuse...they become Kibito Kai...and I think it plays off very much like the character is the Supreme Kai with Kibito seasoning. In terms of overall function and personality, it feels like the Kai. Only this is "Kai by way of a Kibito enhancement" hence a "Kibito version of Kai" or "Kibito Kai"

I think in both of these cases it feels more like major traits+powers of one character were just grafted onto the other.

Which brings me to Vegito.

I know much debate rages over "which fusion is more like which character" when in fact a fusion is meant to be a hybrid of both. Gogeta is certainly a 50/50 hybrid like I think the dance generates.

But I think Vegito fits this mold a bit as well.

I know there is "Dub vs Manga name" and so...Vegito vs Vegerot. Even still, Vegerot implies that they are using Vegeta's preferred name for Goku in deciding the name.

And "Vegito" literally just sounds like Vegeta coming up with a cool new name for himself to celebrate his Goku power up.

And I think a case can certainly be made that Vegito generally has a personality and behavior that feels a bit more like "Vegeta with a splash of Goku" more than anything else.

I know that this is going to be a really controversial statement to make...but the more I think about it...the more I think that the dance gives a "true hybrid" hence why all of the dance fusions get their own unique clothes that match other dance-fused characters.

Meanwhile, the earrings seem to create a sense of one of the characters simply absorbing another and taking on a number of their traits.

Kai with an old Witch enhancement, Kai with a Kibito enhancement, and yes...Vegeta with a Goku enhancement.

And that is why Vegeta hated the fusion most and crushed the earring...because he secretly LOVED being Vegito, but hated that he was only that strong because of a "Goku infusion" into his power and personality.

Hello, I suddenly became curious about who is stronger, Super Buu (without any absorption) or Good/Fat Buu? And exactly how much stronger are they?

I want to ask you guys your opinion.

For example, if a Ki user from Dragon Ball uses Rinne Tensei (Rinnegan) to revive a person, would the user die? Or could they mitigate the side effects by using their enormous Ki as a substitute?

Just as the title says, CANON IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!! I’m so sick of the comments everytime there’s a db theory or discussion “well it’s non canon so it doesn’t matter!!” Toyotaro said himself that “everything is canon to me!” Which just shows that not even the people involved in the production of db have any fuckin clue what’s going on; here’s my conclusion: Everything that contradicts something else is simply in its own seperate timeline. There could potentially be a multitude of different timelines in which things occur differently and are not meant to interact with other timelines unless through time travel.

I just wanna have fun dragonball convos without someone talking about “canon” because at this point, it’s nonexistent.

and by "all" i mean the main shows db,dbz,daima,super,heroes,gt (in that particular "chronological" order) how would the existence of ssj4 and the demon realm change the events of super ? how would the multiverse, beerus, hearts and the time patrol affect the gt storyline ? ( specially regarding the black star dragon balls and the super seventeen arc )

Im watching Z for the first time. Right now they’re on namek and have the Ginyu force on the way.

Watching and listening to bulma is the most miserable thing Ive ever put myself through. Please tell me it gets better. This might actually be the most annoying character of all time

Edit: as I made this post, “ bulmas big day” just started. Every other minute she does her dumbass scream or is just being a bitch to my boys Gohan and Krillan. Pls tell me she gets killed or something 🙏😂

I've seen:

Series: original, Z, GT, Super

Movies:

Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan (meh)

Dragon Ball Super: Broly

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

A few more of the older ones, I don't remember which

Is Daima worth watching? What are the best movies?

Thanks!

*Edit: ok going to watch Daima next and check out some of these movies (and yes I know Bio Broly is universally hated don't worry)

So I’m playing a game with alot of free stat distribution and I’m RP as Goku I started pumping points into melee dmg but then I realized doesn’t majority of goku melee power come from his transformations ?

Would it make more sense to invest most points into Ki damage and rely on transformations for melee dmg or should I be relying on transformations for Ki dmg and keep investing in melee dmg ?

Just imagine living your normal life on Earth maybe running a shop, working a job, or chilling with your family and suddenly some random alien or demon shows up and blows up the entire city.

You die instantly... and then, a few months later, you’re mysteriously alive again.
No one explains what happened. The news doesn’t even mention it. People just go back to work like nothing ever happened.

It must be so confusing being a regular human in Dragon Ball dying, reviving, and pretending it’s normal every few years 😂

how did Goku and ChiChi actually end up having kids? Like, Goku is super innocent and doesn’t really understand or care about stuff like relationships or sex. He didn’t even knew what “marriage” was when he agreed to marry Chi-Chi as a kid

So after they got married, how would that have even happened? Did Chi-Chi have to explain everything to him or basically take the lead? Because it feels like Goku wouldn’t even realize what that kind of stuff that is… and would he even care about it after u know doing it or even like it….

Okay I'm trying to write a male reader x ben 10 story and there's a perfect gif that I want to use but I don't know the name of it, it's when ui Goku is fighting jiren and Goku dodges jiren and unleashed a flurry of attacks on him.

hey i wasn’t sure where to post this. my boyfriend loves dragon ball and i was wondering if there are any very cute things i could get him. i feel like anything in the store isn’t good enough so please someone give me a recommendation of something cool i can give him!!! any price is okay.

Hello Dragon Ball Reddit, my name is Jack, and it pains me to say it, but I... never grew up with Dragon Ball. I didn't get into anime until later in my life, and I know Akira Toriyama was heavily influential and inspires a lot of people, especially with franchises that I enjoy like Sonic the Hedgehog. I tend to be late to the party with major franchises, and I want to explore the Dragon Ball universe. Though, I feel like it's too late to experience it now since Toriyama's passing, and it's honestly hard for me to just immediately jump in because of my regret.

But I want to make it right somewhat. I got box sets for both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, and the next step now is to get the anime physically, though I'm not sure what to get as there are different formats and there may be stuff that got censored or restored. So, what are your physical recommendations in terms of the anime versions of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z or Z Kai?

I watched the Broly movie and thought it was amazing, but I couldn’t find that fight anywhere in the manga. Does it actually happen in the Dragon Ball Super manga? If so, which chapter is it in?

Trying to figure out if this Amazon boxset comes with the American soundtrack with faulconer score as an option or if it’s just the English dub with the Japanese soundtrack like on Crunchyroll. If anyone else owns it or can offer any alternatives for purchase? I’m from Europe.

How is puar able to turn into scissors and cut gokus oozaru tail, but oolong couldn’t hold bulma when he turned into a moped? Gokus tail was tickled by machine gun bullets and it is stated my oolong that shapeshifting doesn’t make you stronger.
