Is it right that Bulma keeps the Dragon Balls locked up at Capsule Corp instead of anyone else being able to find them? Wasn't the purpose of them being scattered across the globe after being used meant to be so that anyone can find them and use them however they see fit? She doesn't own them. Just because she invented the Dragon Dadar doesn't mean she should gatekeep them from others. Maybe some humans want to collect them?

Also, should the Dragon Balls have been used to resurrect people? Death is a natural part of life. However, these characters have discovered a power to let them right what they believe to be wrongs. If you believe yourself to have a moral obligation to resurrect those who were killed, why stop there? Shouldn't you want to fix ALL wrongs in the world? Are there any moral dilemmas when bringing people back from the dead even if that death was unjust? Who are these guys to gatekeep the Dragon Balls? Another guy might want to use it to save his dying family/town from some disaster. And what's the difference between a serial killer and Freeza? Violence is a part of the human experience.

the problem is, back when "Kami" created them, you could have only found all of them if a lot of people work together and decide on a wish together, meaning it was quite unlikely for an evil person to make a wish.
however in modern times even mid-tier scientist were able to create radars and thus some really evil people could make really evil wishes.
And since enemies that could destroy entire planets started to appear, means they didn't had the luxury to destroy the dragon balls either. Thus gatekeeping becomes the only option

Yeah just let psychopaths who want to take over the world get them lying around in a cave instead of guarding them good idea retard. Why not give them to the government? Surely we can trust them! Bulma knows the protectors of earth who use them mostly to defend the people of earth, she is a good guardian of them.

Super Dragon Balls are the only sets that can practically do anything. But they're planet sized and you have to destroy whole celestial bodies to find them, half are in a different universe and you need to speak the godly words.
>>
>>288283133
I mean, it makes sense short-term to have a chaotic good inventor controlling them than Freeza, but it's still oligarchic at the end of the day. Why does the Dragon Team's inner circle get veto power over literal miracles?
The Balls can resurrect people (with limits), cure diseases, create food/money, move planets, etc. In a world with constant wars, genocides (Frieza's body count is astronomical), and suffering, the heroes' restraint feels arbitrary after a certain power level.

>>288283167
Because the term universe is vague. In DB it doesn’t describe everything that exists since there is more than one and the spiritual planes. At most he became “a” universe in a specific timeline, but even then, does that mean all the matter in it exclusive or souls and immaterial things or including them? Souls are “in” the universe but clearly super exist it and do not belong to it. Likewise, bodies can leave a universe and enter another- is that matter still belonging to its home universe? It’s too wide a term to narrow down into anything sensical. What seems to be implied is that he diffused his spirit into all inanimate matter not currently occupied by a spirit.
>>
>>288283260
I don’t see a better solution than a benevolent owner. Democratic use means owned by the state who would obviously abuse it to brainwash the population, and even pretending that the balls would be used by some sort of popular vote you can’t trust people to consider the second order consequences of their wishes and we would end in a situation where vast sweeping changes to earthly reality are made on a regular basis. They should either be destroyed since nobody can be trusted with the power, or vested in someone trustworthy with no pretences to power and control over others. If you aren’t getting rid of them bulma is as good as anyone else.

The counter argument to this is always that a creator should not have control over their work. Toriyama licensed his property to those companies, he owned his own work (as he should) and he should have a say who gets to use it, and in what way. He gave them permission to exploit it and protect it, not TFS. It’s his stuff and he is allowed to do that, as well as posthumously state what he wants done with the work and who should benefit from it for a reasonable period post mortem. If you disagree with this, you simply disagree with the concept of private ownership and people having control over their own work and creations. I will defend even the star wars special editions on these grounds, it’s the creators work and he gets to do what he wants with it.

>>288283006
All of this sounds like a perfect setup for a villain. Though, knowing Dragon Ball and how they tackled Granolah, that idea would very likely suck. But this is genuinely interesting if it were in the hands of someone, like say, Eiichiro Oda or Yoshihiro Togashi.
>Some guy is searching for the Dragon Balls to save his town/loved ones/etc from some disaster or disease.
>Cue Bulma having already wasted the wishes on another buttlift.
>His family now died without the aid the Dragon Balls could have provided, and since it was a "natural causes" they can't be wished back.
>He now declares revenge on Bulma and friends.
The only problem is that the villain would end up looking TOO Unintentionally Sympathetic to the point where the Z-Fighters look Obliviously Evil.

Bulma is a genius inventor and integral to the story. She is also often the voice of reason. Her being wealthy and hot isn’t a negative thing.
Chi chi is a fighter who went after what she wanted and basically strong armed goku into getting with her. Now she is an assertive mother who demands the best for her children and whips her husband into shape.
Videl is also a fighter and cool, and later a good mother.
Launch and mai are cool.
Caulifla is assertive and fun and a role model and mentor to kale, and they look out for one another without the need of a male presence.

A lot better than an anime with a cast of 12 year olds that exist to be in the harem of an adult man and have zero personality outside of appealing to pedophiles and being generally pornographic tropes. Chadgon chad easily wins this one.

Gohan attained a form right in the middle of SSJ2 and SSJ3. What everyone thought was his regular SSJ form that was outperforming Goku against Cell was actually the SSJ2 that everyone else uses. His transformation was actually him tapping into a form that no one knew existed and that no one has ever replicated to this day.

>General Rilldo doesn't have the same personality as Frieza. Rilldo seems to appreciate a strong apponent, but he has an entire planet to manage; he is beholden to Dr. Myuu. Furthermore, Rilldo never had a reason to appear weak in front of Pan. Why?
That's all very good and all, but we all know that Goku, when in his base form and relaxed, emits a very low power level, the fact that Rildo became triggered by Goku's energy is the proof we needed, it tells us that he was most likely on the same level of early Namek Vegeta. Allowing Pan to attack him and appear weak was a very clever strategy.
>.................
We agree that Chichi is the superior being.

>>288158460,1
>Shouldn't Goku's previous experience count as something tangible to supplement his claims? If he thinks General Rilldo is even stronger than Buu, then we must take his word for it.
But Goku never made such claim, he was merely referring to their similar abilities, not their power levels.
>Huh? How?
Dr. Gero was able to read Goku's PL, Rildo wasn't, that makes Rildo inferior.
>Isn't it interesting how Vegito's appearence was mostly Goku's?
I think that fusions in general tend to favour the strongest element, since Goku was much stronger than Vegeta, it makes sense for Vegito to look a lot more like Goku. I think that at that moment Vegeta was technically alive, if you watch the moment when Goku is granted his licence to go back to the mortal realm, we can see that he felt it, he knew something was different about him, I believe that he was given a "lifespan", same goes for Vegeta, we have to assume that Goku and Vegeta's lifespans are merged into one when they became Vegito. I don't think anyone has ever discussed this subject before... What do you mean, the oxygen is the life and the tank is the body?

It was flopping in the beginning and got rescued by the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai arc. Torishima gave Toriyama a lot of breaks others wouldn't have gotten because he considered his art style unique. Dragon Ball was probably able to make it that long because of Toriyama's earlier success with Dr. Slump.

Also, contrary to popular belief outside of Japan, Toriyama was already a wildly successful mangaka at the time thanks to Dr. Slump so Toriyama had a even more unusual case of creating two massive hits back-to-back. Dragon Ball easily could have turned out like most of his other obscure works.

The core of Dragon ball was always around tournament. Everything else was just for making the characters get stronger for the tournament and see epic battles.
Dragon ball was not the first with that idea but made it popular. If it came out today most people would not see it as something new because they already see it often in other shonen and would not be that popular.

One of the best parts of the whole old DB+DBZ was seeing how the MC Goku grows as character.
It makes both inseparable for hispanics.

I see both are about cool fights. The difference i see is that the power levels go to ridiculous level in Z and it was necessary to make planetary level destruction fights, flashier but dumber.

It'd also be too philosophical, which would feel wildly out of place in most Toriyama settings. The only instance where they came close to pulling that off was with Granolah, and even then, Toriyama backed out and created the Heeters to give the arc unambiguously evil antagonists.

Eh, I don't even agree with that.
TFS is stated at the start of literally everything "A fan based parody". Fans should be allowed to make what they want for the series they like regardless of who owns it as long as it is clearly understood that it is a fan work and that they are not impersonating the legitimate intellectual property holder as themselves.

It's not even a matter of private ownership, you want an idea to be policed based on ownership. If I really want to make an animation of Goku fighting Glup Shitto Form 3 I should be allowed to make that, without prior permission from the copyright holder as long as I clearly distinguish my own work as a separate entity from original works that are legally recognized as the works of the owner.

> If you disagree with this, you simply disagree with the concept of private ownership and people having control over their own work and creations. I will defend even the star wars special editions on these grounds, it’s the creators work and he gets to do what he wants with it.
Ideas are not tangible things in the same way that an object, an image, a song, or a set of instructions can be.

>>288283463
It's not even dead. We will see a series that succeeds Dragon Ball Damia within a decade because Toei cannot stop milking it, Dragon Ball merch sales make up too much of their earnings to just let it die.

Sorry pantard but you are kinda wrong here. A song is intellectual property, and is not tangible. What are you exactly saying is tangible? The recording? The lyrics? The composition? All of those are separate intellectual property rights in the intangible idea, it’s not as though someone owns a specific record in a filing cabinet somewhere, they own the ideas and creative content in it. A set of instructions is a literary work under copyright because it contains the authors own intellectual creation, not because the author has a physical copy of the work with them… in fact a publisher might own all the physical copies and have a right to the specific format and typeface of physical editions, and still not have the rights to the work itself which is intangible. All art, music, writing and dramatic works operate like this and are rights in intangible property.
>a fan based parody
You are misapprehending the law on parody here. Copyright isn’t about “passing off” another’s work as your own (that is trademarking) but using their work and exploiting it. Someone placing a disclaimer saying their appropriation is a parody does not magically mean it is, there are rules on what constitutes that form of fair use. Are you seriously going to suggest the latter parts of DBZA were only using footage to lampoon and make fun of or offer criticism of the material? No, they were adapting it. They were making their own serious literary and dramatic content with jokes in it, which is not the same as using their material in order to caricature it for the purposes of fair use. Not only that, but they sold merchandise off the back of it, which goes far beyond any sensible notion of parody, it’s copying and reusing material and exploiting/ adapting it without permission.

>>
>>288291920
(cont)
I agree with you that actual parodies (fair use) and fan works not directly taking the authors material should be fine so far as you aren’t profiting from it. But what TFS did was wholesale take hours of animation, stories and characters without permission, adapt them in a serious format which ceased to be parody from about half way through and made merchandise marketing it. Running a patreon off the back of it in exchange for producing it (despite the specific wording on patreon that you are merely “donating”) is also a pretty clear example of it not falling under fair use. Again, the issue is not consumers being confused and thinking it is official media, but the use of content they don’t own without permission not falling under a recognized category like criticism. Due to the amount they used, the stretching of “parody” and their profit from it, I think toei were right to go after them.

Toriyama designed Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15 but they weren't his original plans for the Cell Arc. I assume Dr Gero would have been the final boss and he would grow stronger and stronger by absorbing people's energy similar to the way Cell did.

Possibly. We know that Cell wasn't intended to absorb the androids. That was something that came up later on.

I wonder if the arc was originally intended to be much shorter. I imagine in the original draft Gero and 19 absorb Goku and Vegeta's powers and get really strong, but that could be cleared with some training so I don't know. But Trunks coming back in time means the stakes had to be super high, beating Gero and 19 couldn't be that easy. Well I guess the Hyperbolic Time Chamber wouldn't exist in this new Android arc because that was only introduced to bridge the new powergap created by 17 and 18, it would perhaps be harder for Goku and Vegeta to catch up to Gero? We'll never know.
For an arc supposedly changed by editors many times, there's not a whole lot of others way the Android arc could have played out. Maybe people are exaggerating how unplanned the arc was?

To be fair, Toriyama wrote Dragon Ball between 1984 and 1995, when he was at his peak
>>
>>288283565
If Oda wrote DB, he would have Capsule Corp be like the Celestial Dragons and show the contrast between Bulma casually wishing for beauty enhancements while entire regions suffer from disease, poverty, or natural disasters that the Dragon Balls could solve would be brutal. The villain would gather followers and you'd get chapters dedicated to normal humans' perspectives; doctors who couldn't save patients, parents who watched their kids die, etc. The arc would question whether "saving the world from big bads" justifies ignoring smaller-scale suffering.

If Togashi wrote it, he would lean into the Z-Fighters being evil without realizing it. He already did that with Gon in the Chimera Ant arc, and he would make Goku's innocence look horrifying. Just imagine a grieving father lashing out on the heroes for screwing him over due to their selfishness. Bulma would try to weasel her way out of this (because of course she would, she'd rather throw someone else under the bus than be held accountable). Goku would fight this man, win easily, and innocently ask, "Why are you so mad? Bulma just wanted to look younger!" completely unaware of how utterly monstrous that sounds to a grieving survivor. Goku isn't malicious, but he is completely detached from the struggles of regular humans. The audience would feel the whiplash between Goku's pure-hearted simplicity and how monstrous it sounds to someone who lost their child to something preventable.

It wouldn't work out, though. Dragon Ball thrives on simple, cathartic wish-fulfillment: bad guy shows up, threatens the world for cartoonish reasons (conquest, destruction, "muahaha"), Goku trains, punches harder, wins. A grieving father with legitimate grievances against the heroes' selfishness flips the script. Suddenly, the fight isn't fun anymore and watching Goku/Vegeta beat down a guy whose family died because Bulma used the Balls for another "youth restoration" or Capsule Corp upgrade would feel gross.

I got a lot of mixed feelings on Cell.
He's a really cool character. I love the concept. I love the horror villain vibes he had at first. I love that after he accomplished his goal, he throws this tournament to rub it in everyone's faces. His voice actors are fantastic and he's got some good lines.
But at the same time, he feels incomplete. Frieza is a land shark on a galactic scale. Buu is a magical being of pure chaos. What about Cell? Why is Cell bad? Cell says he wants to terrify people, and that's about it. It's something that's always felt really boring to me.
>>
>>288283006
>should the Dragon Balls have been used to resurrect people? Death is a natural part of life. However, these characters have discovered a power to let them right what they believe to be wrongs.
Idk, but it's really hypocritical how the z fighters get infinite free "get out of death" cards but dont allow anybody else to get that very same luxury, its not like theyd find them easily anyways, you'd need a dragon ball radar to find them and it would takes ages for anybody to get a hold of them, bulma is just being overly selfish by hoarding them like a dragon with their treasure

I mean, I don't hate her. But I can't say I like Bulma either. She's not really likeable for me unlike Goku, and she also doesn't really change unlike Vegeta. She just becomes less slutty once she gets dicked by the man who killed her ex-boyfriend (which by itself makes her look pretty scummy) but she doesn't have a single emotional moment that can redeem the shittiness of her character the way Oda did with Nami (a similar character with a similar role to Bulma) and her iconic "help me" moment.

You could make the villain be someone who wants to conquer the world and uses the people suffering from not being able to prevent disasters with the dragon balls as a publicity stunt against capsule corp. and get entire regions to try to tear down our protagonists (sort of like team plasma), with maybe some side scenes showing how gohan struggles at school because of most people in there being against him, maybe chichi has to deal with hooligans throwing rocks at her house, even mr satan having to clear up rumors about him using the dragon balls to increase his own popularity because videl's dating gohan, that sort of stuff, throw in a few androids to keep the fights going, maybe the main villain takes over the hyperbolic time chamber and proceeds to give himself cybernetic upgrades, and it could work well as a modern arc

On the subject of Bulma, I think she is a genuinely awful friend for guilt-tripping Goku into staying dead and leaving Chi-Chi to raise Gohan and Goten on her own. It's funny how the fanbase acts as if Bulma and Chi-Chi are friends when she probably didn't even keep on tabs with her or financially supported her childhood friend's family who are poor and lives off of the Ox-King's donations.

Honestly, while GT sucks, the scene in the Shadow Dragons arc where the Old Kai blames the misuse and abuse of the Dragon Balls, over the years, on the fact that the Dragon Radar makes them easy to find--which puts the whole ordeal mainly on Bulma--will always be one of my favorite scenes in all of Dragon Ball media and really drove home how much of a conceited bitch she is since she feigned innocence to the whole thing and let Goku take all the blame for everything, which ultimately led to him having to leave with the Dragon Balls forever and both families not speaking to each other for the next 100 years or so. It was so satisfying to see Bulma's shitty behavior get some form of comeuppance. Even if just a little bit.

This is what I mean with the weird jealousy. Who actually gets pleasure from seeing a fictional character get “comeuppance”, especially a side character who is a protagonist? To the point that it is your favorite scene? Bulma haters are fucking mentally ill. Her inventing the radar is the only reason earth or humanity even exists btw, everyone would be dead if they didn’t have access to the dragon balls 10 times over.

Enjoying a moment of accountability for a flawed character isn't pathological. It's normal. Bulma is arrogant and self-serving in a lot of scenes and she doesn't really have any emotional highlights that can redeem that aspect of her character like Nami. Wanting to see her ego checked once in a while (especially in GT, where the consequences actually matter) doesn't make someone mentally ill. It makes them a fan who likes some friction in the cast. Supporting characters get criticized all the time. Vegeta gets dragged constantly for his past and personality, and he's far more popular.

Bulma is useful but not particularly likable. She's a great comedic foil and plot device, but as a person she often comes across as entitled, vain, and emotionally shallow. The fact that she barely seems to support Chi-Chi financially for 7 years, pushes for Goku to stay dead, and dodges blame in GT is objectively shitty behavior, even if played lightly. Dismissing her contributions entirely is dumb, however.

I also think because her flaws are realistic and mundane rather than operatic like say, Vegeta, people react to Bulma more personally. And it's a very common phenomenon in fandom discourse: people emotionally tolerate "fantasy evil" more easily than everyday selfishness.

Kanzenban is bigger than the Tankobon and have better quality paper.

>DBZ or DBZ Kai?
Dragon Ball Kai takes the actual footage from the Dragon Ball Z TV series (which ran in Japan from 1989 to 1996), remasters it in high definition, and cuts out an average of half the material (generally “filler”). A new musical score has been provided by Kenji Yamamoto, and a new English dub.
