Who the hell is even the target audience for this cringeworthy shitshow these days? I'm seriously curious.

Apparently Vegeta being put down in the story over and over again is on purpose. Toriyama didn't like him (which makes me wonder why he kept reviving the Prince).

To rob him of the peace of death and continue to torment him, obviously.

I remember it from a while back, I miss the days when big fandoms had their own self-made sites and forums, now it's all on larger forums and imageboards.

Yes, Karoshi, I and others discuss it in the animator thread (See >>617 ), however Toiryama was pretty well off at this point, he's not as active a participant as he used to be and isn't on crazy schedules any more, he can afford it.

Would it be good for Namek to have a communist society? How would it be established? Anonymous 16-04-24 13:46:59 No.24044

How would communism work on the planet of Namek? How would such a society be organized? What other lefty idea would work well on Namekusei?

Heh, looks like you haven’t read your theory anon!! And you dare to call yourself a communist, well ignorance isn’t a crime, so I will forgive your transgression and educate you, but remember! I will educate you only once next time you will pay for your ignorance!
Namekian society has already achieved communism a loong time ago! In fact that is why they were able to create the dragonballs. You see the namekian society has been unified a long time ago, we don’t see it but they have interstellar travel and global world peace, namekian peoples also do not work for wages and don’t have private property!! They spend their free time for art.

Anonymous 16-04-24 18:10:27 No.24049

I mean I think Namekians are sort of primitive communists already, they live in communities and other than the elders who are simply guides, most of them live in harmony, taking care of one another like a communal village.

Man this scene was such a satisfying beat-down of Vegeta, especially with how puffed up he was throughout the arc and how much of a shit-head he was to his own son. Literally the encapsulation of Fuck around and find out. Made Android 18 even more attractive as a character.

namek do not have global peace nor interstellar travel tho. namekians are constantly oppressed by Frieza's Force because of the dragon balls lmao

the planet is an archipelago of islands so the villages have no communication with each other and live separately

I think they're all capable of telepathy because of their antennae, though the ability to fly is a Ki technique.

It's telepathy necessary for the formation of communism?

Pilaf told Mai and Shu (his servants) that there was no point in whispering to him, since King Piccolo would hear anyway. Piccolo cut off his own antennae and ears so that Gohan could whistle to weaken Lord Slug as well. Also Piccolo told me himself

I find it interesting that Toriyama himself called out the tired repetition in shonen anime today as taking from Dragon Ball or other older Shonen without being original. Naruto, One Piece and Bleach have some DBZ influence, but were clearly their own thing. Black Clover's beginning takes a lot from One Piece and Naruto (I'm going to be Wizard King! vs Hokage or Pirate King).

Remember how People in Latin America aired DBS Episode 130 to the public in stadiums and theaters? I didn't know this but apparently there was a massive potential scandal because Toei not only prohibited it as a copyright violation but when Mexicans ignored them, sent a diplomatic note on the topic, demanding these screenings be criminally actionable.

The Tournament of Power had so many underrated designs and badly wasted fighting that I still cringe when watching. Also privately I think DBS had a lot of furries involved, because there were SO many anthropomorphic characters.

It may surprise you but shonen anime is aimed at 12yos. Real grown men only watch One Punch Man and Gushing Over Magical Girls. Obviously.

On a serious note, DBS is just a corporate slop that exploits the popularity of its franchise by this point. Same happens with Disney's franchises now actually, it's just capitalism.
