I enjoyed them, but I`ve seen every episode now and I dont think there are any plans to keep it going besides in movies and games.

The animation is good, but many are terrible (especially DBZ 2 The World's Strongest... I never seen the end as I always fall asleep

), the first Broli movie (8), the Bojack movie (9) and the Jeneba movie (12) are th best.

Thats probably because he is a legendary super saiyan. He was also born super saiyan i believe.

more legendary than sum1 like goku?

Mar 8 2005, 05:45 PM
He's legendary as in the movies he's the first Super Saiyan in 10,000 years. In the series the first Super Saiyan in 10,000 years is Goku as Broli doesn't exist in that version of the series (all the movies are like an alternative version of the Saga e.g. Movie 3 TheTree of Might is an alternative to the Saiyan Saga, Movie 4 is in place of the Freeza Saga etc although they don't even fit in with each other)

i woz hearing rumours after GT, goku will reach SS6-8 or sumthing. dunno if they done it in a recent movie or not.

Mar 8 2005, 07:11 PM
SS5 and 6 were in Dragon Ball AF, which was japanese fanfiction story which has become insanely overhyped and well known as rumours spread online that it was the script for a new series. The fanfic is at least 10 years old now, the rumours at least 5. But there is nothing after DBGT. There is however an OVA series (3 eps) which online was called Dragon Ball: The Lost movie in Kazaa etc.
They did go back and make Dragon Ball 4: Path to Power a few years back (I got it, its really good actually) to celebrate 10 years of DragonBall. But that was a remake of the Goku and Red Ribbon Army Sagas condensed into a movie, not a new series, and was DB not DBZ.

If I were you, I'd try and DL the later moves from BitTorent, you wont be able to find the earlier ones that easily though as they've already been lienced by US companies. If you have money you can always import those though.

do u have any pics or screenchots for brolys 2nd comin? looks as if it culd be decent.

Broli's second coming was, I'm afraid, a little substandard...it wasn't anything like as enjoyable as the first movie. It made the mistake that far too many movies make with recurring villains, and turned Broli into something far less scary: a person.
He actually seemed to think and feel...which he didn't in the first movie. Which is, in turn, what made him so utterly terrifying to begin with (aside from the fact that nobody has, before or since, owned the Z fighters like he did

)

I thought Broli had slightly green hair and a slight darker shade in skin because he and like his father was a different race of Sayien, you know like black, white, asian, latino, etc. That's what I was told.
Seraphina
Mar 10 2005, 12:15 PM
Um...possibly...although it's more likely that the character designers just liked that look more

I don't honestly think they thought too deepy on the matter.

Please, let's not even talk about Bio Broli

Having Broli get defeated by the combined forces of Goten, child Trunks, and....Krillin....

...is just not worth discussion

After, its an alternative to the aftermath of the Buu saga were Videl and Gohan have met, Goku is SS3, Goten and Trunks as SS, but both Goku and Vegeta are dead.
Talon

As for Gotenks, he only appears in movie 13 against Hildegarn

Gotenks (as a SSJ3) is about the only one of them I can see beating Broli...as I honestly don't think Broli, in any of his incarnations, was as powerful as Maajin Buu...
However, the movie was based before the Buu saga began, so Trunks and Goten weren't aware of the fusion technique...Broli is so unconvincingly weak that, quite frankly, I don't think there was ever anything to worry about

The first time he ran into Vegeta of Gohan, be in some serious, serious trouble

who was the best villain in DBZ in peoples opinion?
The Roswell Man
Mar 12 2005, 02:34 PM
also whos ure favorite hero/heroine combo?
Super Pancake
Mar 12 2005, 04:08 PM
Best villain would have to be Frieza, man remember the first time we saw his power, It was omg can anybody stop him. then Gouku got all super Saiyen the rest his history. But after that no other villain had that much of an effect on me. I think, I most of been high when I saw the Frieza saga.
Best hero well it's kind of a dissapointment I was looking forward to the reincarnation of Majin Buu, Uubu to be is student in the GT series. But the stupid writers and producers just used Gouku again and just made a spin off of what DBZ it was like a mirror DBZ (Gouku, Krillin, Gohan, Vegita), GT (Gouku, Trunks, Pan, and the Robot). It was all about Gouku they made him so idolized that Gohan who is supposedly to have un-tap powers is in Gouku's Shadow. They never ever developed the other characters and that's why i never really thought DBZ or GT were that great as people hyped it to be.
But anyway my favorite hero has to be the Old Man he just comes in the right moment for comedic relief, anyway just kidding. Vegita hands down, he's just bad ass then he had to get all whimpy and respect Gouku after the Majin Buu saga. Damn writers and producers.

I just wish that they had developed Gohans power a bit more, he was supposed to be the next big thing after Goku and instead he becomes an academic and has barely any power compared to the others!
Vegeta the best bad/good guy around by far!
Seraphina
Mar 13 2005, 05:04 PM
I didn't like Gohan at all to be honest...it made me a bit annoyed whenever he hogged the spotlight (even though it probably would be fair to say that he, along with Goku, was the main chracter of the series, over and above the other Z fighters).
Anyway, Gohan had his shot when he fought Buu as a Mystic SSJ, and he blew it

That was supposed to be him at his most powerful and, as we saw, I don't think he was anything like as powerful as a SSJ3

Not even close. GT didn't make Gohan weaker than Goku, Akira Toryama himself did

Gohan has always been metioned to have un-tap power meaning he could train and have unlimited power in the universe but for some reason the series never proves it to be true. They just dumb him in his fathers shadow and make his character so weak, weird for a child coming from a fearless father and a mother with a feirce and short temper.

The best villian would have to be Perfect Cell, just because he was so cool.
The best hero would either be Future Trunks or Vegeta (of course).

So far as I'm aware, the old Supreme Kia that was awoken from the Zet sword actually took Gohan's powers to their full potential (as a Mystic Super Saiyan)...that was, supposedly, all the untapped power he had.
Dowdy
Mar 13 2005, 10:22 PM
I thought Mystic Gohan(he actually never went SSJ when he became mystic) was as powerful a SSJ3?
Seraphina
Mar 13 2005, 10:33 PM
I don't think so...Gohan going all out against Buu (after absorbing Gotenks) was absolutely destroyed...SSJ3 Goku (although still much weaker than Buu) actually seemed to be giving him something to think about.
Besides, if you have any doubt as to who's the stronger of the two, just watch movie 13

Nope, DB isn't popular in Japan anymore, so it'll never be made again unless a resurgence occurs and Toei animation beleive they can make money out of a new series. But its unlikely to happen.
