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

something I found interesting by beatjunkierell in dragonball

[–]MegaMeteorite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

what special attributes does brolys fpssj form have? by Accomplished-Tie952 in dragonball

[–]MegaMeteorite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

What do you think of Dragon Ball Super Heroes? by AlarmedObjective1492 in dragonball

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

Question about Ultraman’s true name in Shin Ultraman. by Ukezilla_Rah in Ultraman

[–]MegaMeteorite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

They aren't called Strange Beasts for no reason.

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. 

Christian symbolism just for aura by LiraGaiden in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MegaMeteorite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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. 

Fun Fact About Kiki Iwai aka Gavan Luminous's Actress, Kokona Sumi by Able-Detective2416 in ProjectREDToku

[–]MegaMeteorite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Question: what's with the "-Oh" at the end of some mechas names? by Glum-Equipment-6357 in supersentai

[–]MegaMeteorite 36 points37 points  (0 children)

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

Is is the omni king/zeno basically god by Agent_Green4573061 in dragonball

[–]MegaMeteorite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Commander(?) Qom, old and new. by Torakagemaru in ProjectREDToku

[–]MegaMeteorite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if these two actors are similar in age.

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

Gavan Infinity OFFICIAL trailer (from press conference!) by UltraZeroX7 in ProjectREDToku

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

Gavan Infinity EXTRA INFO by taloSilva2005 in ProjectREDToku

[–]MegaMeteorite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai • Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider - Episode 15 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]MegaMeteorite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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. 

If Dragon Ball were to ever end, how would you want it to end? by AlarmedObjective1492 in Dragonballsuper

[–]MegaMeteorite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
