The brilliant scientist line was from the Ocean dub.

How long did the Big Green dub go on for, anyway?

A time traveller that changed the future and created a new timeline. And then went on to become a Time Cop.

Also, if you wanna talk about epically bad voice acting, I direct you to Trunks saying "Guys" in Xenoverse.

Now that shit is epic.

by the way, was Toriyama himself involved in Xenoverse?

In terms of totally breaking character, yeah.

In term o voice quality, it can't compare to nose-hold Tenshan.

I have a message from another time...

He breaks character entirely and says, totally inflectionless, "Guys."

I mean, sure, the voice quality is quite crisp and clear, but it might just make it worse... or more hilarious.

Anyone scene this interview with Toriyama? Some interesting stuff in there. He says that after his bomb was removed, 17 became a park ranger, got married, and started a family. D'aww. Mr. Satan's wife was named "Miguel," after the Archangel Michael, aka Satan's nemesis in the Bible.

I heard about the thing with 17 being a Park Ranger (and I think the part about the family was mentioned).

The news about Satan's wife is new (to me at least).

Wait, is that why TFS had Future 17 talk about being a park ranger in History of Trunks Abridged?

I guess he really did range the shit out of that park.

Also, Hamburger, he didn't have a hand in Xenoverse, to my knowledge, but he did oversee and contribute to Dragon Ball Online where Future Trunks also became a Time Patroller.

I wonder why 17 and his wife don't visit 18 and her family.

[up] It was a reference to that, yes.

They probably do off screen. During that large time skip between the Cell Saga and Buu Saga, perhaps.

Found several more interviews. Here's one.

  • Bardock, his wife Gine, and Goku and Raditz were all that the family was. Goku had no other siblings (sorry, Tullece). Saiyans are rarely monogamous and Bardock and Gine genuinely falling for each other was considered very unusual. Bardock may have siblings or half-siblings somewhere, but he likely doesn't know or care much about them due to, as mentioned, Saiyans not being typically monogamous. Vegeta is also exceptional in this way, and actually has a greater sense of "family" than Goku does.
  • Frieza's race apparently reproduce asexually. Cold is Frieza's only parent. The two of them are extremely strong for their race, so they're not all planet-busters.
  • Saiyans can theoretically live longer than humans, but on average live shorter since so many die young in battle.

17 became a park ranger. 18 became Krillin's head-shaver.

Sometimes life isn't fair.

If 18 finds it sexy, I'm fairly sure Krillin will goddamn shine it.

You guys are forgetting the best part about the Big Green dub: Shakespearian Paragus.

I quite like 18. Shame she does basically nothing after her Heel–Face Turn.

Like practically everyone not named Vegeta or Piccolo once DBZ started.

That could just be in translation. Japanese generally lacks singular or plural so translators (reasonably) assumed he had more than one.

Actually, Lapis did meet up with his sister and brother-in-law at some point, it's just that he was too embarrassed to talk about what he did with his life since he was aware of the irony of the whole thing.

I suspect there's a lot of awkward greeting cards exchanged between the two families.

So, am I the only one who thinks its weird that the Oozaru form for saiyans is only 10x their base form?

Like, it's much more than ten times as massive.

Talking about interesting interviews...

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/akira-toriyama-masako-nozawa-special-talk/

Toriyama: ...What I wanted to depict the most was the sense that he might not be a good guy at all, although he does do good things as a result.

Can I just say, I am SO glad I know this now. I've always wondered if Goku's weird morality sense was intentional. Like, were we supposed to assume he always had the moral high ground? Now I know for sure the answer is "no"...I can sleep easy.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

...This is the same character who was able to no-sell an attack because he was incapable of having dark thoughts, right? THAT Son Goku?? The Son Goku who got told by God "You've been a good enough person to completely subvert the entire logistics of the afterlife"? THAT SON GOKU?
