Thats true, but even then they still understand Japanese dont they? Their language is their own and it's necessary for the dragonball, but they still speak to the z-warriors.
It was always Japanese.
Not in the dub, which is what most people in English-speaking countries experienced Dragon Ball in. A common complaint I have about anime games like this one or many Bleach ones is when GMs feel it's necessary to include Japanese beyond what was in the dubs because that's the original language the setting was in. It's really annoying.
My position is that this quest should've been like the English dub of DBZ so far as language goes. Instead of Gohan calling himself "jii-chan" or whatever it was, for example, he'd call himself "grandpa". None of this "they spoke a different language on Earth" business.
Oof, that sounds bad. Why do they do it if they know that even in canon they speak English?
This I'm actually fine with. I'm not sure if it's DBZA's influence or if it's because Japanese attack names are common in dubs, but using Japanese for techniques and such in DB is fine. The Solar Flare's Japanese name is the only one that sounds weird to my ears, but not overly-so.
...Don't. When I went over to Uruguay, I had Spanish-speaking relatives speak a word or phrase in English to me not to make it easier for me to understand, but because of a similar reason as you're doing. It was cringe-worthy, even when they were saying it right. I just wished they stuck to Spanish and Spanish sayings instead of...making the effort.
You've been doing a good job of doing that without having to apply the blunt (and unfitting, since this is Dragon Ball) instrument of a change in language. The presence of such things as economics and intrigue show how far the Exiles have drifted since the days of Earth and the updates haven't even had to directly make that specific connection for it to be noticed, which is commendable.
As far as I'm aware, the Namekians' language was exclusive. There were two languages in the dub: Namekian (the one Piccolo Jr. and Kami used to talk to each other in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament) and English, which was the universal language of the setting that the Earthlings used.
Using blood to enhance just seems like the type of thing a magic school would grant@PoptartProdigy, I have another idea inspired by Bleach.
Ok, so it's long been established that ki can be fired from places besides the hands like feet, the mouth, and the eyes. From what you said, we can also channel ki through these other body parts to do other things, like hearing and seeing ki instead of feeling it. Well, if these parts of our body can be put to use, why not our blood?
(The following examples are to show where the idea came from and perhaps some visual inspiration for its use here by showcasing the differences in the examples.)
Take a look at these two energy attacks. The first is a Cero, which is a simple but powerful beam attack.
Now take a look at a Gran Rey Cero, which is a far more powerful Cero produced by mixing in the user's blood into the attack.
Can we use blood like we can our ears and eyes to do something with ki? Maybe we can convert the blood into its equivalent amount of ki to create a massively (literally, in a way) powerful attack? (The principles of e=mc2 were used to make nukes so there's a kind of precedence for the idea.) Or maybe we can use it as a form of improved ki healing?
You may as well say using life or willpower to enhance is the type of thing a magic school would grant.
I FIRMLY disagree. I think that ki should be allowed to do weird shit too, and already does so using examples such as Multiform, Four Witches, and the god ritual.
You think that because you have a poor understanding of the differences in the two cases.
Not using English words everywhere (which is what I assume you meant), just in non-Namekian general language. Not saying Earth is a Western-only culture, I'm saying it's not a Japanese-only culture which makes "honouring its Japanese heritage" extra not-appropriate/misguided.
So ki+muscles=more strength, ki+senses=ki senses, but ki+blood=nothing? Not even healing?
If you want to do stuff that involve super charging yourself with life energy, thats why we are looking into Spirit Bomb/Tiens form.
...At this point I should clarify that I meant self-healing.
If the Power Ball wasn't an already established part of canon you'd be arguing that the creation of fake moons should be left to magic instead of ki.
Well, the first two are what the thing in question does turned up to 11, and I suppose blood handles healing, so you could argue for ki healing. But that's pretty different to "making beam attacks stronger."
