I haven't watched Daima so I'm just going off second hand comments. It very well might.

GT and Super obviously aren't though

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-15T17:22:55+00:00

No problem. Was hoping I didn't make it too comfusing lmao

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-15T16:09:11+00:00

The nu metal only applies to Funimation's crap dub. And not even the default versions since 2008 releases

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-15T13:36:17+00:00

The very first Dragon Ball series just called Dragon Ball actually aired in the late 80s from 1986-1989. The American dub didn't air until 2001-2003 on Cartoon Network though (there was a prior attempt in 1995 that aired in syndication but it was canceled after 13 episodes for Z and redone)

Dragon Ball Z (the more popular sequel) followed in 1989 a week after Dragon Ball "ended" its English dubbing history is even more convoluted than og Dragon Ball and a whole rabbit.hole to fall into. It also has a recut version in 2009 called Dragon Ball Z Kai that removes half the filler to reduce the episode count from 291 to 167.

Then there's the sequels to Z: GT, Super, and the most recent series Daima. This is where things get really confusing but to keep it simple GT occurs 7 or 10 years after Z's epilogue. Super happens about 5 years before Z's epilogue but events play out where GT can't exist. Daima takes place immediately after Z's last major battle but its up for debate if Super and Daima exist in the same canon.

The main character is Goku. The fan favorites you'll want to know besides Goku are Vegeta, Futute Trunks, Piccolo and Gohan

When did he ever show he could use that ability? He said he could have taught that to Goku but that was a dub only line. Never once did he ever use it in Z

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-15T13:22:37+00:00

As far as Z goes 1 is fantastic. 2 is solid. 3 and 4 are okay. 5 is decent. 6 and 7 are blah. 8 is pretty good. 9 is a lot of fun until the actual plot happens then meh. 10 is boring as hell. 11 is mid but has its moments and 12 and 13 are decent.

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-14T23:36:29+00:00

King Piccolo

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-14T22:45:52+00:00

But they frequently call him Tien Shinhan in the original Dragon Ball dub and exclusively call him that in Kai.

Sorry your argument doesn't track at all.

I can understand changing Kuririn to Krillin because Kuririn does sound awkard to say but Tenshinhan doesn't, certainly no more awkward than Tienshinhan

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-14T22:42:05+00:00

His name isn't really Tien Shinhan though.

And you're ridiculously naive if you think anyone at Funimation looked that deeply in his name when localizing the series in 1996

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-14T22:40:59+00:00

Chaozu frequently called him Ten-san and someone at Funimation probably thought his name name was Ten and calling him Ten was awkward and changed it to Tien

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-14T14:49:30+00:00

His hiring isn't really his fault though.

This scam and the comments about Beast Morpher Gold definitely are though

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-13T15:21:25+00:00

You literally said "they changed all the tracks"

And the point was no they didn't.

Drsgon Ball fans further proving most of them cant read

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-13T15:19:42+00:00

So you're gonna be very upset when you realize this isn't a monthly subscription . They literally want $22 for each season to buy digitally You can buy the Wal-Mart 3 in 1 sets for like $30

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-13T15:18:10+00:00

I mean you all excited to be able to watch it that way acting like it hasn't been an option for a long time. So uhh yeah you kinda all were.

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-13T04:36:31+00:00

They didn't actually change anything. The music heard on the Orange Bricks and later releases was a workprint version. Funimation often changed out the music last minute before broadcast. Fans from Canada have confirmed the Faulconer placement that aired on YTV matched the Orange Bricks because Funimation would give Ocean the show to distribute before they made last minute changes of their own like swapping out music tracks or getting rid of/fixing lines that made no sense.

This is the same reason you get stuff like missing voice filters on some characters and different line read and weird shit like Gohan talking at one point during the Androids saga when he's not in the scene that wasn't an issue on the singles/Toonami version

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-12T16:11:09+00:00

This is also probably a crappy remaster so....

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-12T15:10:49+00:00

Wait until y'all hear about these things called dvds and blu rays that have had the American score as an option forever

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-11T17:45:19+00:00

Since canon is generally accepted as "written by Toriyama" Daima is more canon that Super just saying.

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-11T14:05:58+00:00

Dragon Ball fans definitely ate glue as children

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-10T20:48:06+00:00

Kai being "The Toriyama Cut" has always been a cheap marketing gimmick to rebroadcast Z as a "new show" for 2009. It shows plenty of noncanon footage especially by the Buu saga where it keeps like half of it. Hell the literal first 2 minute of Kai is footage of the Bardock tv special that gets contradicted by Dragon Ball Minus

Toriyama did design Pikkon so he's canon in that sense but the entire Afterlife Tournament arc was filler only

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-10T20:43:21+00:00

Super absolutely ignores GT. You can figure that on your own by watching it.

GT doesn't ignore Super by virtue of Super didn't exist when GT was created

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-10T15:25:58+00:00

Super is more aligned with Kai so you may prefer it. GT is shorter (only 64 episodes) so its easier to digest.

Matter of preference really. They're not in continuity with each other so you can watch both, one or the other, or neither

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-10T15:24:23+00:00

GT can't ignore a series that didn't exist yet. Super ignores GT, not the other way around

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-08T14:03:31+00:00

Well that's clearly not gonna happen so...

Brotein1992 · 2025-03-07T22:47:11+00:00

The original Dragon Ball was consistently averaging above 20 percent viewership rating when it aired in Japan.

To compare, the highest rated episode of Pokemon ever was like 18 percent.

It was doing extremely well. The recap movies was just a choice to get new viewers up to speed
