I want to read someone rewriting the Cell Saga, exactly the same, except painting Trunks as the total Marty Stu he isn't through narration and small changes to dialogue.

Don't forget special focus on his clothing (Blooma's Capsule Corp jacket).

I think his design is part of the appeal as well. His hair and clothes are very distinct. At that point of the story the Sayans were establishing themselves as the only people that matter and, until Trunks, they were all too similar. Trunks shook things up a bit, with modern clothing and straight purple hair.

In reality, Trunks's only achievement was Freeza and King Cold, he literally didn't do anything else but lose to 18, Cell, Cell again Cell jr, Cell again lethal this time. He got his revenge in his own time but that was about it.

He gave people a heads up and they were able to get somewhat stronger. Sure, his intel was faulty due to Future-Bulma's failings, but a lot of it was indirectly because of Trunks coming back in time.

He brought Goku medicine that (eventually) saved his life.

I do hear people insist on calling her Bloomers because it's the literal translation of the pun.

It's actually not. As mentioned before, the word is different - and it's the same difference between "freezer" and "Freeza". So the most consistent and logical translation would be "Blooma".

I've seen people use "Bluma" as a compromise, and it actually gets used in Dragon Ball Online.

Also, to preserve the pun, "Krillin" should probably be "Kurilin" (which is a bitch to say) since his name is apparently a combination of "kuri" (the name of a Japanese chestnut) and "shaolin".

The second part is unfounded, officially only the Kuri part is confirmed. Furthermore, "shaolin" in Japanese is written as "shōrin" so even if Kuririn got his name from that it would still be written as Kuririn unless you want to go half-Japanese half-Chinese romanization.

Kurilin fits the character quite well, I'd say. However, as long as the last syllabe is the stressed one, well, it'd feel fitting for me. Not all words should have their penultimate syllabe as the stressed one...

Okay so left we have Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Bardock, Trunks, Dead Zone, World's Strongest, and Fusion Reborn, right?

I couldn't imagine that Dead Zone is too high.

Like, I would be surprised if it made top five.

Can't say I expected Resurrection F or Dead Zone to make it this high. They'll both probably be next, and I imagine the final five will be Bardock, Fusion Reborn, Battle of Gods, World's Strongest and Trunks in that order.

Actually, those are some pretty attractive space gingers. Even the guys. I should watch that movie, since it sounds interesting. Some of the ones I've seen, I was underwhelmed by. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep in the kaiju movie with the Trunks Sword, whatever that one was called again. I liked a couple of the ones they rated lower more. I feel Resurrection F may be overrated.

Legacy of Goku is such an Obvious Beta it surprises me to see it being so popular.

TheMageofFire Since: May, 2012
#16846: Dec 17th 2015 at 12:07:20 PM

It's mostly for how bad it is, but also because of how good the later two games ended up being compared to that.

EDIT: Though Legacy of Goku 1 doesn't have that fucking retarded Egg Escort Mission that 2 has.

I couldn't imagine that Dead Zone is too high.

To the very least, Dead Zone has the best animation of the original Pre-Bo G movies, bar-none.

edit

I won't lie, I played the shit out of Legacy of Goku when it first game out.

Dead Zone has some pretty good fights. And it feels a lot more Dragon Ball-esque in tone, which...to be honest...I think leads to better movies. It's a lot easier to come up with ways to obstruct the heroes when they're not able to move at the speed of light and blow up planets.

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

I don't understand why Dead Zone being high is so hard to image. It's already in their top 7 meaning they like it more than most of the others. I don't see how it being in their top 5 or 3 would be surprising.

I feel like Dead Zone is the last time we see people dodge. I feel like after that, it begins the whole Beam Spam thing where people dodge via Flash Step (conveniently saving animation budget).
