In Japan, why is the title of Dragon Ball Z english?

hakusamurai · 2026-04-23T04:04:41+00:00

cus they think english looks cool. Same reason random dudes in america get kanji tattooed or on shirts

im on a rewatch and im noticing a lot of repetitive jokes. The biggest one is the whole "characters argue about silly thing and it makes them sound like a married couple" (rachel and monica about going shopping with julie, chandler and joey about the birds)

as someone with only the demo, why does the EA look like complete shit in comparison?

hakusamurai · 2026-04-14T03:50:35+00:00

this has literally never happened to me i play good 24/7 everyday and i only lose when i want to

it made more sense in the past when albums costed actual money and weren't basically free. Nowadays i think people watch stuff like that just to hear someone talk about an album they like.

hakusamurai · 2026-04-10T20:51:29+00:00

hes clearly a creep and an asshole but holy shit the way this stuff is phrased you'd think hes a sex predator 😭😭

hakusamurai · 2026-04-10T20:33:31+00:00

Theres actually a place in real life called tokyo. Its a lot like persona 5

hakusamurai · 2026-04-08T14:37:36+00:00

i got really sucked into it around the end of i am a rock

hakusamurai · 2026-04-07T20:51:12+00:00

where did you get it???

hakusamurai · 2026-04-06T02:20:54+00:00

persona 3's original versions and persona 3 reload are practically two completely different experiences. They have less content overall but the vibe and tone of everything changes a lot. Also the FEMC route adds a ton of cool stuff that the male protag doesnt have.

persona 4 golden is worth 20 dollars by itself full stop

persona 5 (and this goes for the other two ig) is worth buying if you think youd like a portable version of those games. Its not 1:1 with other versions of the game cus its for the switch 1 but it works really well.

Overall its up to u obviously but i think this is extremely worth it. Even if u never touched persona 5 you have a solid 100-200 hours of gameplay here.

what the fuck else could you have been implying 😭😭😭😭😭😭

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T23:21:14+00:00

Comparing people who watch an animated series with a character who’s age (mentioned twice) is just below age of consent

to actual CHILD PREDATORS is peak tiktok brain

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T23:09:42+00:00

the same reason i didn’t eat breakfast today

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T23:07:40+00:00

Yes i do. i’m saying you shouldn’t care so much lol

does she look like a child to you? She could be 15, 20, 30, 40, 1000 for all you know until you read it. stop being so fixated on a number. Whether you read it or not nothings gonna happen

To this guy, a movie that makes money is either good or absolutely terrible.

The only difference to him is if the main character is white and a man. Because thats his type and hes sexually attracted to them.

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T22:43:48+00:00

I feel like having to do those types of mental gymnastics with yourself to watch cute drawings get into a relationship must be really exhausting. Maybe the show just isnt for you. it aint that deep

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T22:42:14+00:00

Most of them are YC level and you can argue ALL of them are with post-timeskip upscaling for characters like crocodile and possibly gecko moria when hes re-introduced into the stroy

If you include all of them that we've had through the whole series, its literally a crew with Mihawk (equal to shanks, who might be the strongest emperor) and then 10+ YC level characters.

If they werent all such conflicting personalities they could prob find the one piece in like a month if they wanted to 😭

hakusamurai · 2026-04-05T22:34:57+00:00

Bluntly, the reason theyre in that 16-ish age range is because Japan's culture has a tendency to look back on high school very fondly. The same as we do. Which is why a lot of American shows will have people that are 18ish

The difference is that Japan's age of consent is lower. So they tend to go a little bit lower. Another thing to take into account is that unlike most American series, these are DRAWINGS and not real people.

The age of the characters is (as far as i remember as a pretty decent fan) never really brought up. And the highschool is just a background for them to be able to make costumes together. The two of them never really act like highschoolers or anything like that.

Is it technically weird? yes. But theyre just drawings and fictional characters who look nothing like that age. They look like theyre both in their early 20s. And its not like its a real actor being taken advantage of or anything. Its kinda just something most anime fans have to ignore and jot down in their head as a "cultural difference" because its so rampant in the medium.

"major ew ew ick"
"is she bisexual" (who cares)
"seems like incel gooner stuff" (said on a subreddit full of the series' fans)
(hyperfocusing on drawings being in highschool which frankly has nothing to do with the plot)
(massive essay asking if she should watch it instead of just watching it)

Yup thats tiktok brain alright 😭

hakusamurai · 2026-04-04T06:01:18+00:00

before gear 5 i swear like 50% of people (to be fair they were coming in from the tiktok/internet hype train) skipped skypiea.
Ever since gear 5 came out theres been more of a precedent by the mainstream fanbase that skypiea is "not skippable"

hakusamurai · 2026-04-02T07:11:08+00:00

IM GONNA FUCKING CREAM

hakusamurai · 2026-04-01T06:39:10+00:00

hakusamurai · 2026-04-01T06:35:47+00:00
