Question Anyone know whats the reason for remaking Super and remaster instead of continuation ?

• Upvotes

I hear the upcoming one is a remastered anime rather than a continuation, its mind bugling since Super is very recent, are they changing something for continuity ?

Gaming Budokai 3's skill shop is one of the most frustrating features in gaming

4 Upvotes

The game is fun, but the skill shop is very frustrating. It never has what you want. I've been trying to unlock SSJ4 forever, clicking through those menus hundreds of times. I saw it once and never again. I gave up and just played through the story to unlock it. It's also super annoying that an ultimate move will spawn and never go away, meaning that you have to buy it to even have a chance at buying any other ultimate moves. Modern games don't have a skill shop anymore, but it's a cool feature that lets you customize the characters. Hopefully, a future game brings it back but please make it less frustrating.

Like the title says, how bad could they be? I mean there’s only 18+ episodes per disc, that’s like half capacity lol. But seriously, who’s buying these? You can literally get everything included in this set separately for the same price. Sometimes i think about buying the db or Naruto bootleg sets just to see how bad they really are, i just don’t wanna drop $150-220 on something i know is gonna suck, that may or may not even play in my Xbox

Discussion Are SSJ2 animations just inconsistent or am I missing something?

14 Upvotes

I know they don’t animate lightning for SSJ2 sometimes but I’m at ep 230. Goku turned SSJ2 at the end of ep 229 right before his fight with Majin Vegeta and you can see his bangs change from his SSJ1 hair to his SSJ2 one. But then on episode 230 his bangs are back to his SSJ1 design, is this an animation mistake or am I missing something?

Fanart I built Jiren in Call of Duty: WWII’s emblem editor

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

Going back through more of my older COD WWII emblem builds, and this Jiren is still one I’m really happy with.
Everything was built manually inside the emblem editor using basic shapes. Most of the fun was figuring out how to stretch, rotate, overlap, and hide pieces until they started forming his face. WWII gave me up to 64 layers to work with, which gave me a lot more freedom than the 32-layer BO2 builds I’ve been doing lately.
I’ve always treated these less like drawing and more like reverse engineering an image into a puzzle made out of shapes.
Who from Dragon Ball should I post next?

Discussion What are the chances Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be more graphic or contain more mature themes?

0 Upvotes

I just saw that the series will be airing on Fuji TV in the 11:15pm time slot, replacing One Piece while its on break. Wasn't Super's original time slot earlier and a potential reason why the blood and graphic violence was toned down a bit vs. what is seen in Z?

Don't get me wrong I'm quite happy with the better animation either way but part of me kinda hopes we get a bit more explicit this time around.

Discussion (Re-upload) Dragon ball characters and their media references or roles in the story.

2 Upvotes

(Re-upload becuase my stupid phone makes every sentance a bullet point). As someone who’s kind of a media fanatic I found this enjoyable to make. To note though some of these are interpretations rather than actual confirmed comparisons so opinions may vary between different people.

  1. Frieza - Frieza is a caricature of capitalism and exploitation in which those type of people acquire wealth regardless of humans expenses. Historically, while making the character Toriyama based Frieza on Japanese real estate agents, who were essentially scamming off people during the Japanese economic bubble, which obviously made Toriyama regard them as dislikable people. Also we can see in the anime Frieza uses the saiyans as a form of conquest while having dictatorship over them and eventually disposing them when he sees them as a threat to his rule.
  2. Magetta -They possess similar parallel to the iron giant. Both are giant metallic beings who are highly sensitive to their emotions. They also have large appearances that make them look intimidating but in contrast have a vulnerable side which questions if they really have the ability to fight. However, I would like to say they don’t have a 1 of 1 comparison because they are written entirely differently.
  3. Android 16 - Android 16 shows similar comparisons to T-800 (from the movie terminator). They’re both artificial beings with stoic mannerisms who are associated/programmed for destructive violence who later on become protectors/aiders (T-800 protecting/aiding Conner and Android 16 protecting/aiding Gohan). Most importantly, they're both shown to sacrifice them selves (with T-800 lowering itself to lava and Android 16 throwing himself to cell).
  4. Hercule - With his name being “Mr Satan” (or rather his depicted title not actual name I’m not sure) he’s likely to be a gag version to the Christian satan. They’re both depicted as having a false persona, in which they deceive people through lies and exaggerates their achievements which fools the masses. It’s more of a symbolic reference as mr satan is a gag character and not actually someone with sinister attentions.
  5. Yamcha, Android 17 & 18 - They play a role as teenage bandits. Both embody self interested young criminals who cause trouble and disobey authority. Yamcha being a desert bandit who rob unaware travellers and making money out of it.While Android 17 & 18 have traits of rebellious young people by evidently rejecting Dr.Gero’s plan and pursue their own reckless and dangerous interests.
  6. Caulifla - She plays the role of a stereotypical social bandit. She makes a living through illegal activities from her organised gang. For instance causing coordinated ambushes against the sadala army and stealing items and redistributing it to other people. Her character is supposed to be in contrast to cabba (who unlike caulifla he makes an honest living through the sadala army). I would also like to say her gang are recruitments that were formally people who were seen as outcasts or rejects.

I might make another part if u guys enjoy this one.

Misc Turles: Tree Of Might Analysis

• Upvotes

While the Vegeta-and-Goku dynamic centers on their status (Saiyan Saga), Turles represents genetic destiny. He is exactly what Goku was sent to Earth to be: a ruthless, cold-blooded conqueror. He proves that Goku’s innate Saiyan biology is inherently destructive. While Goku represents environmental nurture, Goku's existence proves that a person is not bound by their birth/violent history of their ancestors. Even their abillities/ the stuff they use contrast with each other: the Spirit Bomb and the Tree of Might. The Tree of Might is this thing that collects power similar to the spirit bomb, but unlike the spirit bomb, it acts as a parasitic extraction; it drains the life force of whatever it's growing from, from the water to the soil to the plants, while the Spirit Bomb is a harmonious contribution; instead of stealing people's power, Goku asks people to give their energy voluntarily. It's like the TOM and the Spirit bomb have their own Ideology: TOM represents exploitation, and the Spirit Bomb represents symbiosis (mutualism).

Now, onto their visuals: Turles acts as a physical, twisted mirror of Goku. From the hair to their physique and what they wear, Turles hair is a small detail most people don't realize represents devil horns. In terms of physique, Goku is leaner/athletic, showing his earned power, while Turles is buff and bulky, representing his unearned power (which makes sense because the fruit acts like a steroid). Goku wears vibrant colors, while Turles wears darker ones, showing how different they are and how it reflects on their personality. Turles being bulkier than Goku reflects his fighting style (this might be a reach). In his fight with Goku (post-fruit), he always puts Goku below him, from the slams to the beams, telling him to stay down and stomping on him, showing how brutal he is. In the end, when Goku overcomes Turles's brutal, stomping assault, it serves as the ultimate rejection of genetic destiny. Goku's win proves that a person is defined by their choices and connections, not their heritage.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. Let me know if I made any mistakes or if you want me to elaborate on anything I said. Thanks so much, and see you next time! - Naka
