The Dragon Ball franchise as a whole has been pretty much stuck in this time period since 2013. It was fun at first, but is anyone else starting to get really sick of it? Back in the original manga and anime, it felt like the series was always moving forward and progressing in the timeline, always aging up the characters and changing the status quo. Characters would grow up, develop relationships, get married, have kids who themselves would become new characters, etc.

Hell, the Buu arc itself was a massive shake-up to the status quo of DBZ, turning Gohan who up till then had been the resident kid character into a young man and introducing Goten and Trunks as the new kid characters, while a lot of the "classic" cast of warriors like Kuririn and Yamcha have kind of retired and made way for this next generation.

But since then, the Buu arc era has itself become the new status quo of Dragon Ball, with us only getting a single minor shake-up back in Super Hero with a few of the characters getting some updated redesigns, but that's literally all we've gotten. I really want to see everyone get an updated redesign, see everyone age again and for the series to progress past this point. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

I hope you like it. Don't murder me pls.

As i Understand American soundtrack is mostly popular in Anglophone countries , but not outside of it.

I noticed that American or english-speaking fans grew up with American soundtrack of DragonBall z and prefer it. But fans outside of Anglophone ones prefer OG, bc most of us got original Japanese soundtracks.

I noticed orchestras that plays DBZ ost never perform in US, bc they know that majority of them never heard OG osts. I really love OG japanese soundtrack bc it is different than those music we ofteb hear in mainstream media.

I noticed that in DBZ OG there are insert songs unlike in US dubbed version.

People outside of US or Anglophone countries, did you listen to OG soundtracks or American more rock orientated one?

Cuz, correct me if I’m wrong, but Super Saiyan God is just a saiyan using god ki in base, right? Super Saiyan Blue is a Super Saiyan God that has also stacked regular Super Saiyan on top of that.

So SSB=regular SSJ with extra spice (god ki)

But for some reason Kaio-Ken doesn’t work with regular Super Saiyan, even with Super Saiyan Grade 4 treating the form as a casual thing?

is this just something DBS pulled out of its ass to make Goku stronger for the Universe 6 tournament, or…?

I mean what they did was shit but THIS was a cool idea ? Right ?
EDIT : I didn’t said it was a good idea in the movie or for the movie, I meant in general it would have been cool but yes the movie is shit

man still gets me to tear up

Okay so we know Frieza was saved from the soul-cleansing process because he didn't repent and was so evil and malicious and stubborn that he was wrapped up in a cocoon in hell.

But why wasnt every other Z villain like that too? You are NOT convincing me Raditz, Nappa, Cui, Zarbon, Dodoria, the Ginyus, King Cold, Gero, Cell, Dabura, Babidi, Bibidi, Spopovich, Yamu, Pui Pui and Yakkon repented for their sins.

This also goes for the saiyan race as well who are all scumbags who highly value their Saiyan Pride, they'd sooner fight than go out and be cleansed.

Just a random thought at 5am lmao. I do wonder if the rerelease of BOG was any sort of way to gauge interest for what would end up being DBS Beerus. I believe that the theatrical run in 2023 was US only (don't quote me lmao), by the same token the US was likely the loudest voice criticizing early DBS' animation quality.

A probable secondary reason for DBS Beerus is that with 8 1/2 years after the end of the original DBS run and, excluding the one-shot chapter, 2+ years after the last new regular manga chapter, Toei/CC/Shueisha want to re-acclamate viewers with DBS. A tertiary reason in my own head is also that I'm thinking the Moro Arc will have similar pacing to DBSB given the similar naming convention and slightly refreshed logo etc. I wonder if it all comes back around to that theatrical rerelease.

Anyway, weird thoughts at 5am before coffee is done. Cheers 🤙

Another one from my Call of Duty WWII emblem collection, this time Kid Buu!
I always liked this particular scene and wanted to recreate it as closely as possible inside the emblem editor.
Everything was built manually using basic shapes, stretched, rotated, and overlapped to recreate the original reference. WWII gave me 64 layers to work with, so figuring out how to capture his expression, facial shadows, and the energy blast while staying within that limit was a fun challenge.
I’ve always approached these more like puzzles than traditional drawings. It’s basically reverse engineering an image and figuring out how to make simple shapes form something much more complicated.
I’ve included the original reference alongside my finished emblem so you can see how it came together.
Which version of Majin Buu was your favorite?

Hello,this is my first diorama ever,i i used xps foam and hot glue gun,and i am pretty happy about it😃

I grew up with the anime, and as a kid the Buu saga was my favorite. As time has passed, I have revisited Frieza and Cell and loved them. I had forgotten a lot of what happens in the Buu saga. Of course I remember all the Buu forms, and Gotenks, SSJ3 etc. I just didn't remember every plot element and moment.

Recently I started reading the manga for the first time. I was aware the Buu saga gets some negative comments, and I was ready for quality to drop... I dunno what people are on about. It is so fun! I am having such a blast reading it. I feel so sad at how fast I'm blasting through it. It might still be my favorite arc. Why do people dislike it?!

Randomly popped into my head, haven't played it in ages. The game seems like it was a fever dream and I really never hear it talked about today. It was the arena fighter that had "quarter circle forward" type of movements to pull off moves. It was very frustrating lol.

Draw of Goku Kid

Rewatching and he’s so badass holding off cell. Love him

A joy to draw

Duncan Brannan. Dude seriously killed it. Dude could have been a silly idiot generic ​high register character, but he's just really rich in character, ​like a ​fourth Sanderson Sister. I was rewatching an old episode recently and I was kinda blown away. Vegeta absolutely stole the show, because Babidi was fantastic and nobody talks about ​it.
