Ya know I would have liked to see how Gohan & Videl's wedding went.

I'm sure there were a lot of funny moments involved heheh. tongue

The Hunter Exam was pretty meh, but Heavens Arena was pretty good.

I recommend watching G Gundamn's dub.

Its a pretty good one all things considered.

[up] Hisoka vs. Gon was the best part out of that arc.

The finale was just awesome. Definitely the greats example of a love confession I've seen in a shonen anime, let alone a Gundam series.

I also prefer the localization of the God Gundam to the Burning Gundam. It doesn't really feel like a God so Burning is more fitting though I realized the name is also to match the Dark Gundam which was called Devil Gundam in the original translation.

Say guys, what other tournaments arcs you recommend me to watch while waiting for the episodes?

For Hunter X Hunter, watch the 90's version. The new one that you'll find on Crunchyroll, honestly, the tournament is boring as all heck, though the animation is obviously better.

Flame of Recca has a pretty good tournament arc in the latter half, albeit, it and the show itself are largely inspired by Yu Yu Hakusho, right down to sharing the same animation studio I believe - unfortunately it ended on a cliffhanger, but, "journey > destination" there.

Another vote for G-Gundam.

     

Zoids New Century Zero was alright back when I was a kid. I don't know how it holds up now. It's basically a tournament between people piloting giant animal robots. Think Voltron but with a tournament premise and less superhero-ing.

I'd also recommend rewatching Dragonball for the first 3 tournaments because watching some of the fights now, they were honestly some of the greatest moments in the entire franchise.]]

Heaven's Arena was okay. Nen Training and Gon/Killua vs the jobber squad was pretty boring, but Hisoka vs Kastro and Gon vs Hisoka were fantastic.

The arc was clearly there to introduce the concept of Nen. Its not like Killua or Gon had any pretty particular aspirations about the place aside from making enough money to support themselves.

They only bothered to take things seriously when Hisoka showed up but after Gon repaid the punch he received from guy the two left without a second thought.

It wasn't that much of a tournament arc anyway. Most of the people that fought were no name jobbers.

Normally I'm inclined to argue that older animation has a lot more going on from frame to frame, but looking at these two side-by-side they seem to have done mostly the same shots which is - interesting to say the least. I still say Gon vs Hanzo was better in the older one.

Honestly, my opinion of Hunter X Hunter overall is "It's just okay" so I don't really think it makes much of a difference either way.

Apparently the 1999 anime skips Hisoka vs Kastro so that's points off for that.

Sorry if my butting in makes me seem like an asshole, but my question still stands. Should the Son surname be added to Videl's entry in the Dragon Ball character page?

Considering she's never addressed that way in the show I don't really see a reason to.

It is something we usually add as a formality on other character pages, even when not brought up in the series itself, but there's no hard and fast rule about it. So it's either way, really.

In the Japanese culture, and even though DB doesn't take place in actual Japan it still takes a lot of social cues from its author's country, when a man from a hick family like Gohan marries the daughter of a respected, socially powerful rich man, he'd be expected to take her family name, not the other way around.

But since family names in Dragon Ball are said to be rare, and Videl's family doesn't have one...

I think we can assume Satan is the family name. Thus, it would be Gohan Satan.

Satan IS his name...

It being a family name of sorts was a Dub thing...when Hercule was all the rage.
