    Rereading Berserk

    Seems about time to reread the manga in full, considering it's probably as close to finished as we may ever get now :cry. I'll use this thread as a journal of sorts whenever having completed a relevant chunk of the story to dissect as well as discuss anything people wish to on that part of the...

    Gill and Trunks' Plan

    So, with the M2 events, Gill and Trunks plan to infiltrate Mu's lab by Trunks getting metalised by Rild, then Gill creating a replica of him and turning Trunks back to normal. Sounds simple enough, but is it as good as it should've been? I'd say there's two main problems with it. Firstly, this...

    Kuze VS Awano VS Shibusawa

    The 3 Tojo Clan lieutenants from Yakuza 0 face each other in a battle royale, all as they were by the time of the finale. Despite the game's progression seeming to suggest Shibusawa > Awano > Kuze, their feats may paint a different picture. Who will win in this deathmatch? Round 1 - All start...

    Kuze Daisaku VS Han Joon-Gi

    Recurring boss that made End of Yakuza 0 Kiryu pant heavily after their last fight and clash blows evenly for a while VS Recurring boss that made Mid-point Yakuza 6 Kiryu pant a bit before stomping him in the next two rounds. Is the difference in Kiryu's ability growth over the years enough for...

    Kiryu Kazuma VS Kazama Shintaro

    Yakuza 3 Kiryu was barely able to beat a past his prime Joji (who's likely equal to his twin brother), even doubting he could beat Joji if he wasn't old. Dojima also referred to Kazama's young self as "unrivalled" despite having lived in an age with such top tiers as Prime Saejima and Majima...

    Kikunojo VS Izo

    Both of these Scabbard siblings seem to have similar capabilities as shown against Kaido. Which will conquer the other, the sword or the gun? 10m starting distance between both.

    Nappa isn't (naturally) bald

    https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/dragon-world/akira-toriyama-says-nappa-isnt-bald/ A recent translation of an article by Toriyama from El Manga Legendario revealed a decent bit of trivia to clear up things about Nappa's lack of hair and Vegeta's line about Saiyan hair not changing from...

    If other fictional characters had Pokemon teams

    One popular thought experiment in some corners of the internet is speculating what kind of team a fictional character not part of the franchise may have to reflect themselves both internally or externally. That said, here's a thread for people to post their speculations on what team a character...

    Tenshinhan's initial character arc

    If not counting Yamcha as fully fitting the bill, Tenshinhan was the first in a tradition of antagonists or villains changing to becoming an ally with him going from a very arrogant and cruel martial artist with ideals of being an assassin to throwing his ideals away in favour of a more pure...

    Ultimate Gohan's personality

    It's safe to say Gohan's personality after the ritual is far different than what we expect of him. He acts a lot more like Vegeta when facing Boo, calling him a retard (usunoro) and toying with him. Piccolo also states that it seems as though he's lost his gentle nature. Some can compare this to...

    Could Videl have been utilised better?

    Videl debuted as a fairly dynamic character in the Boo Arc and a very different one from many in the manga, being shown as quite deductive and very much a fish out of water when it came to what was commonplace to the main cast. Her feelings developing for Gohan were also better paced than most...

    Worst aspects of each game?

    Considering we had a thread discussing the best aspects of each DB game, it's only natural to offer the reverse of that and discuss which were the biggest flaws of each game, because it's apparent no DB game is truly perfect (unless they make one where you exclusively play as Cell :troll2). That...

    Raditz came to Earth with Kakarrot?

    In this scenario, being forced to follow the Minus retcons for it, Bardock and Gine find Raditz at a point before he goes on a mission, tell him their concerns and convince him to go to Earth with his infant brother not to destroy its inhabitants, but to go into hiding from Freeza in case...

    Kuririn became a Saiyan?

    In this scenario, just after receiving the warning about the Artificial Humans, Kuririn realises he won't be able to catch up with the power gap forming when he's far below Gohan, nevermind a Super Saiyan. He uses the Dragon Balls and foregoes his pride as an Earthling to wish to be a Saiyan...

    Future Goku came back a day to Earth?

    In this scenario, Goku uses his 1 day on Earth to help out Gohan and Trunks against #17 and #18 the day before Gohan would normally die. How does his presence here change this timeline (or more)?

    Future Gohan's importance in the Cell Arc

    When people think of the major players of the Cell Arc, those that immediately come to mind are Gohan, Goku, Future Trunks, Vegeta and Cell. When you think about it though, Future Gohan may be one of the most important characters to the arc's narrative, despite only appearing in one spinoff...

    Beebus may be an underrated pun

    So, I've been studying Latin the past few months and learnt that the word to say "I drink" is "Bibi" and "We drink" is "Bibimus". This reminded me of the name of Mr. Satan's fictional version of Beerus, Beebus (Bibisu). Considering the name puns of the Hakaishin all being about various alcohol...

    SS3 Raditz and Nappa in Heroes

    In the DBH games, Raditz and Nappa bypass SSJ completely and instead go straight to 3. Even though this can seem like more of a marketing ploy due to a greater difference in design, it is worth noting that they achieve the forms in some anomalous rift in dimensions and that the mentor Nappa in...

    Could a villain with more influence over the franchise than Freeza been created?

    One of the main strengths of the Freeza Arc is how integral it is in the history of Goku and Vegeta, Freeza's actions having laid the groundwork for their initial paths in life and the series as a whole. Freeza's concern over the Super Saiyan would also lead to the franchise's most iconic...

    The importance of the Four-Star Ball in GT's finale

    So, this video by Geekdom101 ended up in my recommended and, despite the main point of it relying too much on the sources that inspired DB rather than DB's own world building and lore, there was one point made that I'm surprised doesn't get brought up enough concerning GT's ending; that being...
