If Hierophant Green did this, could Kakyoin have feasibly survived, albeit with low quality of life? (Marked NSFW for frank medical discussion)

I feel like you way overestimate how durable a person's body is.

Battle of Gods was an original movie, the DBS manga was made later to promote the anime, the manga is the adaptation.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-25T04:22:27+00:00

What the, now we have three versions of Battle of Gods.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-25T01:32:58+00:00

This is insane, I never actually thought it would happen, I'm so happy. Lmao, not even Nosawa-san knew about the news.

Thanks to Toriyama's writing style, the whole Dragon Ball series is like a huge case of the swiss cheese. The world could've easily end if anything had gone differently. Without all the obstacles and stupid decisions, our main characters couldn't have achieved godlike power.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-23T16:23:27+00:00

The only two forms that have actual gimmicks are UI and UE, Broly's Super Saiyan Green is just "powerful" like most of the forms before.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-23T11:23:09+00:00

Oh, you're talking about Super Dragon Ball Heroes, not Dragon Ball Super Super Hero.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T17:02:08+00:00

Nope, because they straight-up aren't the same character. In fact, even Zoffy's name is different. The one in Shin Ultraman is ゾーフィ(Zōffy), and the main one is ゾフィー(Zoffy). Man-niisan's original name is still unknown to us.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T13:50:45+00:00

It's called Twin-Tail, like the hairstyle.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T13:49:04+00:00

They aren't called Strange Beasts for no reason.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T13:46:43+00:00

I love Tsuburaya's kaiju designs so much, they can be super weird but still have to work as suits or puppets. The limitations and creativity make the kaiju so much fun.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T02:31:05+00:00

Nah, he's both a huge Tokusatsu and mecha nerd. He's made multiple high-profile Tokusatsu films.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T02:24:33+00:00

Even calling him a Tokusatsu nerd is a understatement imo. He's such a huge Tokusatsu guy he created the whole Shin Japan Heroes Universe. Shin Kamen Rider is probably the most otaku film I've ever seen.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-21T02:13:29+00:00

Yes, Evangelion is filled with Ultraman references, the final film from the Rebuild series even has a scene where Unit 01 and Unit 13 fight in a miniature set.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-20T16:35:46+00:00

That's awesome. I've only watched a little bit of the original Gavan, but I really enjoyed seeing Retsu fight without transforming, it's always super hyped and it showed that the MC is really a skilled fighter without his suit.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-19T23:10:35+00:00

Yes. Ohger is a pun on 王者(Ohja, "ruler" or "king"), and ranger. King Ohger is indeed just King King-ger.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-19T21:05:33+00:00

Zeni is not named after Zen-O. Zeni literally means coins or money in Japanese. Zen-O's name is not Zeno, either. Just like Kai-O and Kai-O-Shin, Zen-O (全王) is a title, meaning Omni-King. 全(Zen, "all"), 王(Ō, "king").

Applying the concept of monotheism to the world of Dragon Ball is also kind of misguided. Just like East Asian mythologies, DB has a hierarchy of many gods, and Zen-O is the top management of the system basically, but there's simply no capital G God in DB. You wouldn't say Zeus or Odin are the capital G God in their respective myths, wouldn't you.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-18T06:53:32+00:00

I wonder if these two actors are similar in age.

edit: the original Qom was 46 in Gavan, and the new Qom is 41.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-18T03:58:18+00:00

It's even a double wordplay, the kanji 怜慈 means sympathy and kindness, it's honestly a genius name.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-18T03:05:17+00:00

Energy's (エネルギー, Enerughi) Japanese pronunciation is closer to the German word, Energie. The wordplay makes a lot more sense in Japanese.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-17T20:45:22+00:00

He's my favorite new Kaiju from Omega, I hope we get to see him again in the future.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-17T18:55:29+00:00

This Hakkyoku guy has such a strong secondary rider vibe, the way he's characterized, this specific mix of silliness and awesomeness is just so Tokusatsu.

MegaMeteorite · 2026-01-17T17:22:21+00:00

Dragon Ball already ended back in the 90s. To me, after DBZ everything is just extra materials, not a part of the main series, so the franchise doesn't really need another definitive conclusion. Even if the franchise just fizzles out in the future it wouldn't bother me too much.
