  1. Superhero in training, huh?
  2. They could always just live on opposite sides of the planet from each other. But if not, this has the makings of a great sitcom!
  3. I was wondering what you were talking about. I have no idea why anyone would care, but Mochi does apparently.
  4. That was because that was how powerful Uub was supposedly. That's why Goku was so excited to fight him! He is the reincarnation of Buu, after all, and as far as I know, the only reincarnated character in all of Dragon Ball, so that has to count for something. But yeah plugging Super into the middle of that time skip is a bit of a tall order. GT was never canon...
  5. They should have just had Trunks kill him. Or any of the other times Zamasu/Black had death fake-outs. It's not like they wrote themselves into a corner here. There was literally no reason to end it like this! Also, destroying the whole universe seems like overkill just to destroy Zamasu. Then, they leave because Zeno is about to destroy the universe, but come back to... the nothing? What?
  6. Well there are other ways to watch it besides TV. If you did see it and just forgot though that's fair enough. Yeah Vegeta has never met her before. Hopefully Goku remembers her, heh.
  7. HOW LONG TIL TOONAMI EXPANDS TO WEEKNIGHTS ARHABHABHABHABLABLALBALARAHRHARRR
  8. I see... Bump the thread!
  9. But you're not exactly an unbiased source. Plus there's the whole cartoonish and exaggerated aspect of One Piece in general. But if Oda does decide to make Nami lesbian or bi, at least it wouldn't come off as a retcon. Sanji would probably commit suicide if she's full lez though, lmao. Unless, god forbid, he has some character development and grows up.
  10. In the recent episode on Toonami, Naruto seems to have accepted that Sakura isn't into him and won't ever be, and has moved on. So, Naruto matured, shockingly enough? But, still obsessed with Sasuke lmao. But yeah, Sasuke is the one with all the fangirls, and he doesn't seem too interested in them back, either. I'm sure it's supposed to be "Sasuke is so cool, he doesn't even care that all these girls like him" or "Sasuke is still focused on revenge because the Uchiha massacre was an inside job for some reason" etc, but that's not necessarily how it comes off. >_>;
  11. Stuff like that and the whole fan base makes me want to avoid Stephen Universe like the plague. That and the show doesn't sound appealing or interesting to me in the least.
  12. Yes, exactly. Sometimes people have other things going on in their lives, possibly more pressing matters. Which characters were you talking about there? Yeah, true. I do think there should have been more Naruto and Hinata moments, though, and at least more interaction. But it's not an unfounded concept. Yup agree 100%.
  13. You've never heard of straight women complimenting each other on looks, outfits, etc? Calling each other, actresses, etc, pretty? They hug, etc. Straight guys can't get away with that so easily without having to worry about "no homo," thanks to pervasive and persistent homophobia.
  14. Is that why he makes Chichi such a bitch? She's practically a parody of the cliched angry wife character. And if I recall correctly Chichi had not appeared since the original saga of Dragon Ball when she showed up to marry Goku. But yeah the retcons, or rather, stuff he's said in interviews, because I'm not even sure if we can count that as retcon with it not being in the actual series, I don't take seriously. Yeah definitely trying to go the One Piece way too. Wow... that's... that's just ridiculous. I mean, yeah, things could have happened in the intervening years, but come on! Also Hinata is just plain barely in the series altogether, which is a shame.
  15. Not sure what kind of crack moderating team elfie expected on a fucking fan forum. Is it too much to ask people to just act like adults? And if you see someone acting like a jackass, simply pay them no mind? Not to mention, getting triggered by Zeni of all people. Really?
  16. I would make an argument for Usopp and Zoro who both have girls from their past that they're attached to. I really don't take that asexual claim seriously.
  17. "It's that nice girl that talked to me" was pretty hilarious reaction when he saw Uraraka again that time. NEEERRRRRRD! That could be. Vague Bleach spoiler - I wouldn't agree to the last part. You can see plenty of times where Goku has done things to protect people he cares for, and it's shown that he does care for others. It's true he's done some oblivious kinda jerky things before but this idea that Goku didn't fight to help others but just wanted to fight strong guys is some major bullshit that Toriyama has floated. He fought the Red Ribbon Army to stop them from all the pain they were causing and vowed to defeat and finish them off to help a friend. During this saga, the first time the Dragon Balls were used to bring back someone from the dead, was Goku doing it to help a friend. He fought King Piccolo to save the world, and to avenge his best friend Krillin. When Raditz showed up, Goku tried to convince him to leave peacefully at first. He turned Super Saiyan as an emotional reaction to seeing his best friend killed (again!) He sacrificed himself to save everyone from Cell. Then of course there's the countless times he asks to move fights to isolated locations free of innocent bystanders. So yeah, Toriyama is full of shit.
  18. That sounds like some more bullshit retcon nonsense by Toriyama. And how does this explain Vegeta? Or how does this carry over to mixed Saiyans? From what I have noticed, Natsu doesn't come off as not interested in women to me. I mean, there's the whole Lisanna thing. Yeah trying to claim Luffy as asexual is retcon bullshit too. There were those moments you mentioned. And I agree with you that he's probably just too occupied with his pirate adventures. Also I don't think it should matter or that we need reasons for why characters are single and not seeking significant others etc. If it's not important to the story or not what the story is about, who cares? I think we actually don't even know the sexuality of a lot of characters in Bleach, because it never comes up. I guess we have to lay the blame at shippers for obsessing with this. Maybe if Togashi had any of his characters be gay, Kishimoto would have nicked that too lmao. Are you actually serious? I know a few spoilers but I haven't seen beyond what Toonami has shown. Are there seriously no more Naruto x Hinata moments?! Since I know what happens at the end I figured there must be a lot more developments than I've seen so far! Ridiculous if true!
  19. At least bisexual? Because he was interested in Sakura. Konohamaru surpassed him in that regard LOL. I think the other one that looks like Sasuke is actually Sai, and that one looks like Jugo probably is Jugo. So maybe they are meant to be actual characters and we just aren't recognizing them? Maybe to be introduced beyond what Toonami has shown? But yeah Naruto definitely seems very into dudes. The story would actually make sense if he was meant to be, since him supposedly being best friends with Sasuke is not portrayed well at all. They're mostly little shits to each other and have very few "friendship moments." Their relationship comes off more like someone you went to school or worked with and were friendly with, and then you lose your shit when they move. It doesn't make sense for Naruto be fucking obsessed with Sasuke and pursuing him and wanting to forgive whatever horrible things he does when he should rightly be hunted down and captured or killed, given what we actually saw in the show, no matter how many times it shouts at us that they were "best friends." All this makes you wonder some things about the author too. Does Kishimoto have some repressed homosexual urges? Or does he just have no idea how to write relationships of any kind? Maybe he has issues with them and interacting with people in real life? He's already admitted to being bad at writing women because he says he can't relate to them. I mean, Tosen and Komamura come off pretty well as "best friends torn apart" and they're side characters! Asta and Yuno came off as a better friendship than Naruto and Sasuke in just the first few episodes!
  20. What do you mean it can't work with the timeline?
  21. Never saw Dr. Slump or read the manga. Probably when I would've had the inclination to back when I first saw that arc in Dragon Ball, it wasn't available or I didn't know how to. Toriyama's humor is pretty funny, so I should check it out. Sticks need to be removed from asses.
  22. Seriously? Arale and her "world" appeared in a whole segment of the Red Ribbon Army Saga in Dragon Ball. Even if you've never seen Dr. Slump you should know who Arale is.
  23. Never heard about this until now. This guy is hilarious! His antics are probably more entertaining than any of the shows he's made!
