Who is your favorite character from the Dragon Ball series?

Piccolo then Freeza.

I love Roshi for his humor. I also do like Piccolo the most since his character development in the Saiyan saga was very good. Favorite villain in DB would be Piccolo Daimao and Cell would be my favorite villain in DBZ. Favorite villain in GT would be Bebi, I guess.

Finally getting around to starting Dragon Ball Super.

I like that it shows more of what a day in the life is like for these characters rather than fighting bad guys all the time. I think it's charming, and otherwise adds more character to ones that have had very little to begin with. I only saw the first episode so we'll see how it keeps up...

Do I have to watch Battle of Gods and Revival F or am I safe just watching them be done in Super? Seems like new stuff was added to them in Super, so that's why I thought I'd ask...it's mainly the reason why I avoided watching the movies till now.

You don't HAVE to watch the movies. I'd argue that the movies does both arcs far better (particularly BoG - Resurrection F is fairing much better in the show itself) but you won't miss anything by just watching the show.

Super retellings did do changes from the movies. Super's version of Battle of Gods is not much different other then there is more fighting then there was in the movie. It was also takes place on a boat in Super while it does not in Battle of Gods. Super's version of Revival of F does add stuff that was not in the movie.


Super explains on why Fat Buu did not join the fight against Freeza since he was asleep.
It also explains why Gohan is much weaker now
There is no love references with Mai and Trunks
We see Vegeta on how he first train with Whis for the first while we never did in the movie
Goten and Trunks show up while they are not in the movie
Piccolo dies while he does not get killed off in the movie
Captain Ginyu returns while he is nowhere to be seen in the movie
Tagoma dies in ROF while he is still alive in Super


Super moves on to new original content with Episode 28 ""Universe 6's God of Destruction: His Name is Champa" later this month. I think the Universe 6 stuff may have references to the BOG and ROF sagas. I still think the last two movies are worth checking out.

My Favorite Characters are:
Vegeta- He is just a Badman. I note that he has come along way since his original introduction. He is stil ruthless in battle but has become more companionate in person.

Piccolo- At the start of Dragon Ball Z he was my favorite because he was also ruthless and still is very strategic all around. I hope in Super, he grows more in power and can partake in more battles like Z.

Frieza- Unrepentant, Powerful, Vengeful: All of what makes up a good Villian.

Am I the only one that thinks Dragon Ball in Japanese is just...so weird sounding?

Not to say it's bad but...all the characters sounds off to me. I dunno.

Like Goku for example, never did like how high pitched his voice is...

If you are not use to the characters in Japanese then it takes sometime to get used too. That's how I was with Digimon Adventure Tri since I grew up with the English voice cast. I grew up with DBZ in both English and Japanese since I was able to get my hands on bootleg tapes in the early 2000's. I saw the first Broli (Broly) movie in Japanese subbed a few years before it dubbed in the US as a kid back in 2001.

The only thing weird sounding to me are the characters that are clearly too old to continue their roles. Vegeta and Kai specifically.
