New Dragon Ball, new Digimon Adventure. Shit, I'm gonna feel 10 years old again, where there was nothing to worry about other than to see how many episodes will it take for Goku to power-up the spirit bomb.

...Why? They do sub simulcasts for a fuck load of shows... Nothing about Dragon Ball would make it harder to do subs for each week's episode than any other series that Funi does it for.

Because a lot of US fans prefer the dub and I don't see them choosing to simuldubbing it.

Then Funimation should be prepared to lose a lot of potential streaming revenue to pirate sites.
Funimation's stuff is always super late either way and I think a lot of people will just avoid the Japanese dub.It would be interesting if Crunchyroll got it somehow though.

Wasn't the requirement that they be pure-hearted Saiyans?

That's why the ritual only happened once before -- 99% Saiyans are assholes.

FTFY

All jokes aside I would kill for Goku go back in time and become King of all Saiyans. You know that Saiyans are a bunch of Classism assholes.

There is a sizable fan base for the Japanese version and not doing a sub simulcast would be leaving money on the table for their biggest money maker. They did a simulcast for Toriko, they do it for new anime all the time and they have been doing it for One Piece for a long time, why would they not do it for their biggest series? Funimation isn't stupid.
Hell, I bet a quite a few people who aren't even fans of the Japanese version would watch the subs just to stay up to date because it'd be easy to just watch it on Hulu.

I really hope I can watch this at a decent speed legally, it would suck having to wait in this day and age.

If Funimation can do it, they will do it that's for sure. Any kind of Dragon Ball is big bucks, Japanese or no.

Funimation does tons of sub simulcasts these days, there isn't really any reason to think that they won't do it for this.

The real question we should be asking is can cell go SSJ

I always kind of thought he was during that arc. He has the same aura the super saiyans do, and he even does the same bulky "ultra" form at one point and then has the super saiyan 2 aura when he comes back from self-destruction.

Yup. I'm one of those. I was too young to watch the original Japanese run of DBZ. I initially saw a few random episodes in Spanish while growing up (which got me hooked) and then I eventually saw the whole series in English(twice lol). Now I'm probably gonna watch Super subbed in English if they don't dub it right away and then I'll watch the dubbed version once that comes out :p I've become too big of a fan to not do so and I would hate to get stuff spoiled.

Can Cell reach SSGSS level? Like if the current Saiyans give his energy to him and stuff??

Sure why not. He's got the cells for it. He can control them and become more like any fighter to do their moves. If the kids can become SSJ at five, Freezia can go gold then Cell should be able to do anything Goku or Vegeta does.
 
It's because the people who grew up with it are now in positions of power and can make such things happen.

Our generation is good for something after all

Haha yes. I guess it pays to not lose interest in your childhood favorites...


Re: the dub and sub possibilities, I also hope we can get some kind of legit release simultaneously with Japan. I'm still a little salty about having some of RoF spoilered, and I still can't even watch that.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't they now trying out the strategy of dubbing episodes as they come out in Japan and having them up shortly afterwards?

I definitely see them doing that for DBS if they are able to.

If they have the ability to I am sure they will... though it's unlikely they will have the ability to as DBZ kai is one of the few series they have made dubs for that isn't on their website at all.
