Manga/Dragon Ball

Probably edited out of the broadcast version.

It happens later again with Vegeta in the Freiza Saga, and then Gotenks in the Buu Saga.

And with Buu in the Buu saga.◊

I don't know why the idea of a primordial being flipping the bird amuses me so, but it does.

Dragon Ball Z The Real 4D at Universal Studios Japan

Not much is known just yet, but it could be one of 'em 4D movies with sensory overload type stuff.

What's 4d?

In science, it's time/space.

In movies, it's like 3D, but with added sensory effects like blowing wind, raining water, shaking the theater and so on.

It could also refer to a theoretical w-axis independent of time allowing for objects such as tesseracts, though the human mind cannot concieve of such an additional spatial dimension.

However, the trend of movies using it to refer to additional sensory effects is so unfathomably stupid that it gives me brain cancer thinking about it.

In common language, the fourth dimension is time. This angers abstract mathematicians who want to talk about a theoretical fourth dimension of space, so it was decided it should be done until their intended meaning was lost on the general public.

So I'm guessing some enemy that comes from beyond the universe as the characters know it by traveling though the fourth dimension. Or some new form of teleportation that goes awry. Or some new form of space travel that goes awry. Either way, it will probably involve lots of martial arts and energy blasts.

Why can't abstract mathematicians be happy with counting past infinity and leave something sensible alone?

I mean. How can you say that time isn't a spatial dimension already?

Because it's not. Time is a property of space, and vise versa. They both have their own dimensions, space has three and time has one, so you get four. However, people speculate about a second dimension of time(wouldn't it be nice to go backwards) and a fourth dimension of space(I can walk through walls)

Going back in time wouldn't be a new dimension of time. You'd still be travelling along the same axis. For it to be a new dimension you'd have to be going sideways.

The 1st dimension is made of points. The 2nd of lines. 3rd of planes. You get more dimensions by sort of stacking the previous dimensions on top of each other. Going at right angles.

I dunno, I think the last time Sarda put someone like 3 seconds to the left of the future he was never seen again. Going sideways in time doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Also, it seems that Frieza's gonna be a part of that 4D movie, so make that of you will.

Anyways, imagine a fighting game where you only play as Goku.

The Professor went sideways in time, and he seemed to figure things out.

Space is 3 dimensions, time is one, as far as we can subjectively understand them. Separating them is a bit of an exercise in futility, as, again, it is a matter of how we experience existence.

The path through time of a particle is a monodimensional entity. A sting-like entity, you see...

Also, multiple temporal dimensions allows you to have branching paths through spacetime. Remember, any single dimension is infinite.

Yes. And every time someone tries to talk about a hypothetical fourth dimension of space, someone inevitably chimes in with, "The fourth dimension is time!" and the conversation swiftly turns to how best to murder somebody using quantum physics.

New DBH cards!

Another Hit card, a Vados card, a Ninja Hoi card and a SSJ Cabba card!

That's because treating space and time as separate entities is erroneous. It is a simple matter of perspective; we are aware of 4 dimensions, 3 of them being understood as spatial and an additional one being understood as temporal, but nothing stops any of those from being understood in a different way.

In this animation,◊ we only have 3 dimensions; up-down and front-back keep working as spatial, but the usually spatial left-right dimension works as a temporal one; when you can see the nose, one eye is in the past and another is in the future.

Recoome also gave Goku the finger.

Is this legit?

Probably. Japan has a ton of live-action adaptations of popular anime series.

I don't know whether to be ecstatic or furious.

Be apathetic. It's going to come out in Japan, it will probably never see an overseas release, it will likely be of decent quality for fans but basically gibberish for new audiences, and then after a couple years nobody will really care it ever existed in the first place.

Jackie Chan's playing Goku. I was going to have him play Roshi.

Heh.

So after after hating on one live action film, now he's involved in one of his own eh?

If Irony were strawberries....
