Warning: Spoilers for Dragon Ball Super chapter #101Although bringing Broly over from the movies into the manga was a big first step, Dragon Ball Super could never fully leverage the Legendary Super Saiyan's character until now. The latest chapter of the manga builds off Broly's cameo appearance in the Super Hero arc, making it clear that he has joined Goku and Vegeta as part of the main cast.

In chapter #101 of Dragon Ball Super by story writer Akira Toriyama and artist Toyotarou, Vegeta notices while sparring with Broly that his opponent hasn't been wielding his full power due to his fear of losing control. Vegeta makes it clear to Broly that he must find a way to learn how to control his rage rather than suppress it, since not being able to wield one's true might will be a liability.

If Broly finds a way to control his rage, then Dragon Ball Super will be able to include him in future fights, which would officially make him more than just a supporting character. Broly's recurring appearances in the recent chapters (and in the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie) seem to imply just that.

This is a massive development because it was always implied that Broly's rage would always be uncontrollable. In both Broly's first DBZ movie and Super's retcon, the Legendary Super Saiyan's inability to control himself serves as a defining plot line, where his rage makes him an almost unbeatable foe, and has now become fully entrenched in who he is as a character. As a result, even after Broly joined the "good guys" in Super, it has always seemed implausible that he would get to see any action besides serving as a last resort in battle, forcing him to perpetually watch from the sidelines like the vast majority of the other Z-Fighters who are no longer relevant.

The finality and severe limitations of Broly's powers were always quite obvious. In fact, Universe 6's version of the Legendary Super Saiyan seems to capitalize on this shared understanding by depicting them as a demon that will keep growing in power before self-destructing, as revealed in chapter #36. However, by presenting an opportunity for Universe 7's Legendary Super Saiyan to possibly eliminate this finality and these severe limitations, Dragon Ball Super is creating a world where Broly can fight as much as he wants in any battle, which would be a huge development for the series.

Broly's cameo appearance in the Super Hero arc made fans bristle with excitement, but his return in the monumental chapter #101 of Dragon Ball Super makes it clear that he is here to stay. The mention of Frieza in the same scene seems to imply that Broly will be an asset in the future hard battles that the Saiyans will have to fight. However, he still has to learn how to control and effectively use his rage in battle, just as Universe 6's Kale did, and Vegeta clearly isn't going to help him, either, since he outright states that it's something that Broly has to figure out for himself.

Even though it's now highly unlikely that Broly won't learn to control his rage, Dragon Ball Super can document his journey going forward as he pursues this potentiality, saving him from the same fate as most of the Z-Fighters who will forever be doomed to watch from the sidelines.

Dragon Ball Super is a sequel to the original Dragon Ball series as well as the fan-favorite Dragon Ball Z anime. Dragon Ball Super takes place ten years after Majin Buu is defeated and follows Goku and his friends on all-new adventures. Much like its predecessors, Dragon Ball Super was praised throughout its 131 episodes.

Yes, on the Vegetto article there's a picture of an attack that's listed as the Final Kamehameha even though it doesn't look like it. If you go to the talk page you can see me arguing with Kojidude trying to get him to show some proof that the attack in question is the Final Kamehameha as I believe that the attack is just a generic attack that whoever wrote the article decided to call the Final Kamehameha. Is there any way to confirm wheather Kojidude is right or not?

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I just joined, some of you might have already seen some of my edits in the DB pages but anyway hi to everyone that has never heard of me, I will make the most to keep them as top shape as possible as I have tried to do in the past :) -Dark Dragon Flame 07:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

To meet Wikipedia:Verifiability, required for a GA or (eventually!) a featured article, we need sources. Very few Dragon Ball articles are sourced and most of those are from websites. Even wonderful ones like Daizex are just websites and so we'll want some print ones, too. Unfortunately, there aren't very many. And the ones that are there aren't great. But... better than nothing.


Also, can anyone find online a repository of VIZ and FUNI press releases? I used to be able to get them on Google Groups, which is how I pinned down dates for many things in Dragon Ball (franchise), but bad me didn't know to actually do inline citations then and the work is lost. They also have plenty of marketing spiel, but nuggets of important information like revenue projections, licensing agreements, etc.

Hey there, I was wondering do you all think that all the hard work done in the Son Goku page is enought to raise it to Good Article classification if the references and all are added to the article or more change is nedded?

The Son Goku page? Yeah, cut that plot recap down to 5 lines per saga (per Toei saga, not Funimation saga). There's no need for every charcer page to have a rehash of the plot. Give an incredibly brief synopsis about his involvement in each saga and link to the saga summary pages appropriately. On the other hand, I think the page could be lengthened a bit by adding a section detailing his name - where it comes from, why it's pronounced as it is, and the similarities he shares with his namesake. --DesireCampbell 02:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Oooph. I could, but I'm not sure what everyone else would think about it. I mean, I'll be cutting probably 90% of that section out. I'll make a note on the Talk about what I'm doing first, and get the whole cut done in one edit (for easy revert) just in case. --DesireCampbell 03:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Just finished adding the new template to a Lot (115) of Dragon Ball related articles, but there are still a lot left; if someone can add it to the video games articles please do it, I'm tired and will rest for a while see you then, what do you think of my job? -Dark Dragon Flame 10:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Added Senzu to the list of articles to expand, I rewrited it in an encyclopedic tone and did cleanup to this page but it's still to short for an item with so many appearances, maybe adding a list of uses or something like that to make it longer will help. --Dark Dragon Flame 03:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Are there any administrators in this Wikiproject? If not, I wouldn't mind helping in admin related ways, such as deleting pages, protecting pages when necessary, etc. I don't have a clue about anything related to Dragon Ball though, so perhaps "joining the project" per se isn't a good idea? Either way, people should feel free to contact me if they need something admin-related doing --Deskana (request backup) 12:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
