Haha what I almost want to watch this anime bad voices and all.

By the way why did they not get a new voice actor for Goku when he grew up?

[up][up] Voice actors are extremely beloved in Japan. Recasting a part, especially a legendary one like Goku, while the original actor is still alive is almost unthinkable there.

[up]Yes. Thanks to being pregnant with Pan.

Who was it that said Pan would go Super Saiyan in the womb? Take a freaking bow.

I'm not sure if it was me or not. I was definitely a proponent of Pan being born super though(since the Kai power up didn't get passed to her)

Aura already extends beyond clothing. If Videl powering up incites Pan to do the same, Videl being surrounded by a golden aura would make sense. It's glow obscuring her hair color isn't too strange either. It's the eyes turning blue that I think takes it a step too far.

I don't care how dumb this is, THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL

Of course, this also implies that Pan went Super Saiyan before she was even born.

You know what bothers me? This isn't just Fetus Pan going Super Saiyan. Due to the lack of any change in the shape of Videl's stomach whatsoever, apparently Pan could turn Super Saiyan as an embryo

That sure fixes the whole "Pan can't go SSJ" and kind of overcompensates for it.

No, it was an idea that he had in his head for a while and the song just reminded him of it and he named it after the song. He said so in an interview right after the poster was revealed. Battle of Gods gave him the opportunity to execute this idea.

No, that's not what was said at all. Here's the actual source and from that it's clear that he says:

  • He was thinking of ideas for the next movie (so this was post Battle of Gods)
  • He heard the song
  • He then came up with the idea and immediately wrote the story

Nothing in there about being reminded.

The barebones nature of the plot is easily explained by him producing a tiny script that he admits was nothing more than a glorified memo.

I guess, unless Bra goes Super Saiyan while still one of Vegeta's sperm.

Oh, wow, holy crap, guys, that was MY tumblr post you linked to! Glad I could share the information.

But it's pretty clear in the episode this seems to be a cosmetic thing. Her eyes don't change, for one thing. There's no real explanation given to it. And once the ritual is over, she goes back to normal and it's never mentioned again.

But yeah I was still pretty excited about it.

So I finally got Shin Budokai (and Shin Budokai Another Road). I have been wanted to play them for so long but I haven't had a PSP so this is my first time playing them.

Both have an original story, sorta - the first is an adaptation of Movie 12 that heavily reworks things to fit every character on the roster into the game's plot, and the second is just "what if Boo was awoken in Future Trunks' timeline".

Playing the first game... Goku apparently has a motorcycle for a hobby, but he's not very good at maintaining it. But the best part is when Pikkon takes Goku to hell (to investigate Janemba) and Vegeta is too late to follow, so he asks Kuririn to kill him so he can join in. Kuririn just suggests he go get the Dragon Balls.

edit: "It's not like we can rely on Yamcha..." hehehe, yeah. Also, this game is totally supporting my Vegeta/18 Crack Ship, Vegeta is being so tsundere towards her.

edit 2: Vegeta suggests that Goku try a full power blast against Janemba, like he planned against Boo, but Goku says he'll need to be dead to pull it off. So Vegeta prepares to kill him until Goku begs him to try something else. Vegeta's really bringing his a-game in this.

[up]Vegeta's the only one to remember that Death is a minor inconvenience in the DBZ world... and for Goku, being dead is a good thing since it means he can fight at full power.

Oh, yeah. I forgot Videl's eyes were supposed to be blue already. Then I really have no problem with it. In fact, it gives me hope for the next generation. Uub, Pan, Goten and Trunks are totally going to takeover.

[up] if Toei is actually prepared to retire Goku. Which I don't know if they're willing to do yet. I wish they were.

I have to say that, for an episode where people were mostly just standing around and talking, there were really really ugly key frames. The Super Saiyan God channeling, was particularly bad too, though I have to admit I laughed at how ridiculous Videl with blonde hair seemed — and it wasn't a lighting effect from the auras either, as everyone stopped charging their ki. And yet there Videl was, still with blonde hair.

Retiring Goku and the next generation shining aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Five characters, maybe even six if Buu sticks around is more than enough to balance for an arc or two before newer characters start phasing them out too. I still maintain Vegeta is the one overstaying his welcome.

You know I just thought of something. It's impossible to sense a God's KI, yet Goku was able to instant transmit to both the other world and the realm of the Kaoishin. How is that? He's sensing the KI of Bubbles The Monkey in the former. In the latter, East Kaioshin and Elder Kai are fused with a Kibitoh and a witch respectively, and are thus no longer pure gods.

And that got me thinking about something else. Whis is the strongest being in the universe, is not a god, yet Goku has trouble picking up on his KI, which begs the question, just how far away is the realm of destruction?
