Hello Patrons!
It's Patron Appreciation Day...apparently. I was gonna jump on today to update you guys on stuff and thank you for your support and this was also happening today so double whammy of appreciation coming your way!
When I started using Patreon back in 2014, it was at a time when my YouTube channel was more of a hobby and it did consume a lot of my professional time. When I got my first wave of patrons, it meant that I could justify keeping the channel alive until that f...

Dragon Ball Z tried to be different from its original series by having Freeza be the big bad archetype, but it turns out that things weren't all that different. Has Toriyama changed his technique in writing or is it more of the same? It turns out that the whole Freeza arc and the first half of DBZ may have been a tournament all along - here's why!

After so many requests to make a what if concerning Bardock, the father of Goku, it's time to address a potential scenario. Instead of being laughed at, Bardock's prediction was taken more seriously and some of the Saiyans escaped Frieza's blasting away of Planet Vegeta. Goku has a plan to get Vegeta back but it involves something quite bold. Will Bardock be able to finally get the prince to listen?!

Even though Dragon Ball Z's Android 16 is well regarded and much loved in the community, there is a lot of evidence that he will not return to the main series. Despite the tribute in FighterZ and the revival of Android 17 in the story proper, there isn't any incentive to bring him back in the ways that have spurred Broly's return to the franchise. Today let's explain why that is the case.

Frieza's end against Goku is one of the most significant moments in Dragon Ball Z...but what if it ended differently? What if Frieza listened to Goku's advice (in part) and chose to survive and go from there? This isn't your usual turned good story, it goes deeper than that. We're getting very analysis-heavy today!

The Dragon Ball Super Broly is one of the biggest events of the franchise's history. It is getting a global release and a massive campaign that will unleash the show on countless more people than ever before...but why am I worried? Is this too much for the franchise to bear? Let's discuss whether this movie will pull it off or if it will flop? Can Toriyama make this work?

I may like Perfect Cell a lot, but it seems like the general feeling of Dragon Ball Z likes Perfect Cell too (not to mention his journey!). Today, I want to discuss why this is and why Haverok and I believe that Cell may be lending himself to Nietzsche and the ideas of the bug-man being the Superhuman archetype fighting against humanity's mundane society. Is this the case? Let's discuss.

One of the most requested what ifs I've ever received and in the entire Dragon Ball fandom: What if Goku Married Bulma? Today, Bulma has to figure out what she's going to do with Android 17 and 18. Does she get rid of them or something else? Meanwhile, Cell is about to loom into view. What happens next?

Dragon Ball Z has many villains within it which stand out, but one of them got relatively overlooked. However, today we describe Doctor Gero (Android 20) as one of the most crucial and useful villains ever in DBZ. Why? His legacy and his realism which make him the most unusual, weird and scary bad guys in the franchise.

Kakarot and Gine arrive in time to help their friends, but Vegeta's issue with the Ginyu Force arises still. Will the Captain change things for the worse? Let's find out!

Dragon Ball Z is mostly about action and suspense with lots of fighting and screaming. However, when you look behind the curtain, you realise that there's a bit more to it what with the idea of femininity and childlike behaviour. How do these play into the series as a whole? Let's explore with Haverok as we take a look at the mind of Dragonball.

Dragon Ball Z was indeed mainly about Goku but two other characters, Gohan and Vegeta, stood out as the two Saiyans that grew the most in terms of development for their personas. However, Super didn't do much with that potential and rehashed (albeit fairly well) the same plot from the Buu saga which asks us this: Is Toei going to do anything with them? Let's discuss the problems here.

Dragon Ball Z was a masterclass of a global phenomenon in the world of anime. After so many classic sagas, Toriyama chose to continue and finish the series with the Majin Buu Saga...unfortunately, he went a little overboard and it ended up being a bit of a hot mess. Why exactly? Let's discuss it. From Gohan to Buu himself, what happened?!

So Perfect Cell was just too perfect for this idea...but this doesn't mean that we can't theorise about the idea of A Cell joining the side of Goku and the Z-Fighters! Android 21 and Gohan take on Dabura, but the former gets more than he bargained for. Will he be able to stop this villain from taking out West City? Let's find out!

Hey patrons! After your feedback on the main community thread regarding potential campaigns we could look into, it was clear (almost half of the votes) that our adventure would be space-themed...however, since we are a Dragon Ball community-led channel, we gotta take the Toriyama route and implement food puns wherever we can and thusly the group that we will build will be called: THE GALACTIC ROLLS!
Why? It's a loose tie to the British dessert, Arctic Roll and since the game involves rolling d...
