Anyone see cooler returns TFS?
 
Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread

OK, as someone who's only just now watching the actual episodes, what the hell is up with the entire Buu Saga?

I get they wanted to have a greater emphasis on comedy (and Gotenk's battle with Super Buu was just hilarious), but there's basically no character development. Like, at all. Also, I'm annoyed that Gohan couldn't do anything (after just finishing the Cell Saga).

Also, Super Saiyan 3 is stupid. There's no real reason how and why it exists, it's just like "hey guys new powerup!" Mystic Gohan, too.

I'm going to stop now before I start properly ranting.
 
Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread

Yeah, the Buu saga always just felt odd. I'm pretty sure Toriyama was getting tired of the series by that point and just didn't give a fuck anymore.

I always felt the series should've ended after the Cell saga. I like the Buu saga. Goku's fight with Majin Vegeta is one of my favorite fights. But the Cell saga would've been a better way to end it.

OK, good, so it's not just me.

Honestly, I like DBZ the best when there actually IS character development. None of this "this character is now strong enough because reasons". Like SSJ2 Gohan isn't just good because he kicks ass, it's good because it was foreshadowed well in advance and there was a big build-up. And unlike Goku's Super Saiyan transformation, Gohan actually grows as a character both before and after it.

...I'm sorry that I'm ranting, this is what happens when I watch a show and I don't know anyone else who would want to discuss it.
 
Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread

Granted I haven't watched the show for years, but I think Buu got some character development, going from homicidal maniac to standing up for what he liked (even if he still was kinda a homicidal maniac :P)
 
Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread

Oh, yeah, that's true. I really liked the sections with Majin Buu and Mr. Satan. It's a pity they had to absorb him. It would have been interesting if he stayed the whole time kinda like Android 16.

Vegeta's development was way overdue, though. It was still good.
 
Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread

Wasn't there a rumor that Toriyama wanted to end the series after the Cell saga, but his publisher wouldn't let him, so he threw a lot of ridiculous nonsense like little kiddy super saiyans and dorky highschool Gohan into the Buu saga?
