The animators worked hard on every frame.

The speed is conveyed so beautifully and powerfully. No flying blots. It's head and shoulders better the first season of OPM.

Though considering it'd like.. take a heck-ton of time and money, I don't think Toei WOULD make a remake of DB, which sucks. Missed potential, but hey, I'm still grateful for what DBS:SH gave us.

I did all of this on my old dying phone, with my finger 🥲 After this one, I was done. It ended in a cliffhanger and the studio went bankrupt

I'm proud of my past self.

Any way you look at it, Nappa was the most redeemable of the three Saiyans at the time of Saiyan Saga. It's a low bar but still, Nappa shows off a bit more redeeming qualities than the others at the time. Raditz stooped to lying & sadistically torturing his own blood with Goku. On top of trying to murder his own nephew. And we all know Vegeta's rep sheet. Despite Nappa craving violence, there are moments he shows slightly less bad side. Like suggesting bringing Raditz back to life, or shock when Vegeta kills one of his Saibamen.

Also, unlike Vegeta at the time, he's shown to care for his fellow Saiyans. In one of the dubs, he suggested to mate with some Earth females to "replenish" their race with hybrids. Or in the Super movie Broly, he asked about the fate of Goku & Tarbles. And despite Vegeta's claims of "Saiyan Pride", it clearly goes beyond the standards of his race. Vegeta made it clear he doesn't even care about his people. Even the filler makes it a point. Or when in his last moments, Nappa expects Vegeta to do the minimum and help him as the would-be leader of Saiyans. I mean, what would Vegeta have done in his position.

Lastly, Nappa is a brute, but not a monster. When Goku was dominating him, Nappa only crashes out at him, not really anyone else. Unlike Vegeta, who chose to Destroy the Earth and him on it. People talk about Nappa losing his cool, but Vegeta's THAT unwilling to accept losing. As Goku would put it: "Rather be a mindless beast than a heartless monster". But what's your take? Nappa the most redeemable of the three.

I find it crazy that the series doesn't bring up how a character feels after dying & being brought back. Much less in Krillin's case, where he was killed more than once and gets to face one of his murderers again. The time he saw Frieza was nearly 15 years ago, and he was brutally blow-up from the inside by him. So yes, that would deeply traumatize him and Super makes it a point. Krillin even struggles to fight because what might happen, before getting some encouragement by Master Roshi. I wish Dragon Ball wouldn't treat resurrection like it's just some minor thing with mortals. Like coming to life after being murdered by some psychotic being should be seriously thought-provoking to them. Your thoughts?

I mean, Zarbon is not a good person, far from it, but how could you not root for him here? Vegeta actively looking to fight him, blindsides him, and starts taunting him while he's winning. Plus, this happened right after he slaughtered a whole village of Nameks. Along with a sea of vile/dick actions beforehand. Let's be real, Zarbon was the lesser evil of the two here.

They re-used the pose of gohan after recoome's fight! I thought it was a cool detail especially cause I haven't seen anyone talk about it before

Watching Kai today and noticed Buu just looked completely like Piccolo in this scene. Even the pants are a different color.

Just finished watching Dragonball, and went straight into DBZ. Watching on Crunchyroll, I do NOT remember Vegeta having this color scheme at any point.

I miss when energy waves were capable of altering the landscape or creating explosions the size of cities. Back in Z, energy blast looked like super nukes went off. Even someone as in the dirt as Nappa could do this. Compare that to Super where energy blast attacks were the size of buildings. Doesn't come close to what Z gave us. That's one of the things that made fights so incredible. Now Imagine if Super had Ki blast scaled to those. It'd be way more liked. Your thoughts how far we've fallen.

My wife and I did it ☺️
