  • Last year, a Dragon Quest website came about which brought the media together. Then a #DragonBall one was developed; and it got us thinking - what if the precursor to #DragonBallZ and #DragonBallSuper were to be refreshed for the modern age, to be rebooted or remade? Should it be? What would change, what would be lost? Let's discuss whether or not Dragon Ball should be redone.

      No, I don't remember that. Which probably supports your point about reboots.
      Mr Bones' point is also valid, though. Japan has a different attitude towards media. They tolerate Gundam's scattered multiverse where some ace pilot always ends up wearing a mask and fighting against teen prodigy pilots.
      And many of their reboots have gone rather well, largely because of how anime is handled that western animation isn't. Fruits Basket, for a recent example, or Fullmetal Alchemist for a more stark example where the reboot was almost immediate of a widely loved anime and yet extremely well received.
      The manga (or more recently, web novel) is treated as the "real" story, and there is an acceptance that there will be differences in interpretation to animated formats...which in turn lets a reboot have an expectation of being a better interpretation. You can see something similar in the US when something has a perceived "real" story - we're a lot more forgiving for Stephen King's "It" or Frank Herbert's "Dune" being remade, or the 397th "Batman meets the Joker for the first time" movie, largely focusing on the differences in performances and portrayals rather than complaining about it being a reboot. But for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Magic School Bus, or so many other western cartoons, the original animated version is seen as the "real" story, so the reboots feel like dollar store copies.

    I stand by what I said last time you touched on the topic; it really depends how it gets done. If it takes all the core elements of the original and only builds on them, I am pretty on board especially if it implements newer things that can give older things deeper context. I would not complain at some side stories for characters during the time of the Original Dragon Ball even. I am sure young Vegeta and Raditz side stories would not go down too badly provided it doesn't tarnish their character.
    One of the main reasons I would have in favour of it also, would be to help newer fans develop bonds with characters who are not Goku and Vegeta. Having Tien, Yamcha and co being of bigger plot relevance does after all allow the demonstration that Earthlings do have skills / traits that Saiyan’s do not.
    All in all though these are all subjective things which is a good reason to not reboot, after all get it wrong and you create a lot more problems than its worth.

Have the Supreme Kai tell the nature of the Dragonballs disrupt the actual mature of the universe and if used too much too soon can have disasterous results on the fabric of reality. Thus they can't be used as a deus ex machina all the time, and have actual consequences to their actions. Something I did like about GT...

So far I'm 69(heh) Episodes in and I'm loving it. How Goku has relationship with these characters, the story telling, while drawn out at some points, is pretty good, and of course just making jokes about what happens in this show and comparing how they would stack to later events in the Dragonball franchise.

    My stance is like this. I'd be fine with a soft reboot. Keep it mostly the same without sanitizing most of it, but add some new stuff to streamline the lore. Very light "take it or leave it" retcons. Maybe new stories adding something to foreshadow events from Z and onward. Maybe use your idea to introduce Garlic Jr. into the canon and have Goku and Piccolo Jr. team-up to take him down. But it would take a lot of perfect things to happen that I don't think we could get going together. Might not be worth the effort.

    There are a lot of pros and cons with this just like with every type of reboot. I try to give reboots a chance because they can be pretty cool and interesting. However, this is only possible if the reboot is given the right tools to work with and as seen today most reboots are not given the right tools to prosper as well as the original. With Dragon Ball though it really doesn’t need to be rebooted in my opinion, but instead expanded just from Goku and his friends.
    What I mean by this is that the Dragon Ball universe is massive and can tell many stories from many different angles. Stories that can show us something new and compelling that we never seen before from Dragon Ball. I would be down to see a story about Hit and his assassin work, the U6 saiyans and their work as defenders, the story of Yamoshi and the ancient saiyans, a story of the Pride Troopers, a new story that takes place in one of the four universes that didn’t participate in the ToP, or even a story about a an angel in training not wanting to become an angel attendant and are trying to figure out what their true purpose in life is.

    Fun fact. The original "Dragon Ball" series has already been remastered and released in Blu-Ray... In Spain.
    Yeah, Selecta Visión, the biggest anime publisher in the country, managed to do so last year, and apparently they've been the first country, beating even Japan itself to it (it was even a marketing point). I don't know if it's been done in other countries though. And the Spanish edition has a lot of language options... Except those are (European) Spanish, Japanese and all the regional languages that the series was dubbed to back in the early 90s: Catalan, Basque, Galician and Valencian. So no English option.
    But if it has been done already, surely it can be released in English speaking countries too. The question is if it's financially viable.
    You see, the reason why Spain got a Dragon Ball Blu Ray edition is that the franchise was a huge hit there from day 1. But in English speaking countries that didn't happen until DBZ, years later. So maybe Toei thinks that English speaking countries have no interest in this part of the series.
