OK, can we all please take a moment to acknowledge the DEDICATION these two boys have towards their ladies? Like, putting up with the most idiotic movie ever made because it's the girls' favourite?

He/she is so strong, one of the best in his/her world, he/she could do anything, but the problem is just that he/she doesn't want to and always feel bored and sleepy.

Goku Destroys Kid Buu #gaming #dragonball #ps5 #gamersenquirer

Goku was much stronger than before when he defeated Kid Buu. After the defeat, Goku's strength increased exponentially as a result of his intense training during and after the fight. He was so powerful that he could easily take on Super Buu, an even stronger form of Majin Buu. His power level at that time was estimated to be around 3 million, making him one of the strongest warriors in the universe. He was even able to perform the powerful and destructive Spirit Bomb technique with ease, something that not many other characters could do. Ultimately, Goku's incredible power and skills were what allowed him to defeat Kid Buu and save the world from destruction. All in all, Goku was immensely powerful after his victory over Kid Buu and his power continued to grow from there.

Humans are hard to include in worlds filled by anthros (Sonic aestetic analysis)

Aestetic... a word I like.

This kinda work. Both of them have about same cartoonish proportions, similar head size, similar hands and feet size. The human girl has a thicker body and is bigger, but humans are tricky to include in a world with anthros.

The fact is, since we are humans, the specie is particularly familiar with us. What we are is written in our DNA. If you ask to a blind person to draw a fellow human, the drawing will turn out correct, the very same a person with normal sight woyld do.

So is tricky to avoid the uncanny valley and keeping them recognizable as humans. Humans are also rather large overall compared to hedgehogs and other beasts as specie. In fact we are included in the great apes group. Alongside the gorillas we are the also the tallest so pretty much big animals (but we are also slim).

Actual hedgehogs are as big as human hand, or so. Sonic doesn't need to be this small. Just more balanced.

Humans are always been a presence in Sonic world. Eggman is the most well known. And he has large hands and feet, like Sonic and the other. But his proportions are quite realistic and I think he should look bigger because actually, his head is smaller than Sonic's and the other...

In this scene from Sonic X it works well. Eggman's human features are exaggerated (like the typical human long nose compared to the flat noses of the other apes), and his head is about as large as Sonic's, making him fit the enviroment.

Those are very a little bit awkward. When I complain that the size are awkward is because of Eggman's small head.

This is no-no! She just doesn't match in the universe. Like, she belong somewhere else. Small hands and feet, anime proportions, vintage Italian style doll face...

Back in the '80s I saw some that were even closer to what Maria looks like. There were even drawings of girls who just looked like Maria around, some hanged on walls in my granparents home, I just can't find them not even online (the last time I saw them I was 16).

(Shadow likes those pictures...)

Surprisling Mario fits greatly despite being part of a completely different universe.

With modern style...

And even with SatAM style

Both in Sonic and Mario, humans tend to have small eyes.

Roundish head, large hands and feet, noodle limbs just like the beasts... Eggman obioulsy has small eyes. I figure them being about roundish, like Mario's.

Now, we see some human eyes there. A western aestetic just look better within Sonic world (the aestetic is pretty much western overall, being based on rubber hose style). Maybe hands and feet size could be more balanced...

I don't like Eggman having Majin Bu style eyes like in SatAM and AoStH. I've read somewhere he has regular human eyes. There (Archie) he looks as if he is possessed by an entity, so I wonder, Sonic should try to save him at this point? I imagine is to show that Eggman is a psychopath, but it doesn't do the job. The shape and size of the eyes is fine.

This is a joke... 'never mix styles' I was told 'Characters should look like they're part of the same universe!'...

Even Eggman was changed to have a realistic look, and it sucked.

Elise should be with Cloud Strife and Sephirot, not with Sonic, if we are talking about the style.

Outside Sonic series...

Top Cat

A human and six cats. They fit perfectly in their universe. Like Sonic, the cats are bigger than real cat, still smaller than humans. Heads look perfectly in proportions.

Now, here we are in the opposite territory. The feline is bigger than a human. In fact he is a puma.

Just to show how well human and anthro blend togheter in Hanna&Barbera works. In addition they also have actual four legged beasts, like Scooby Doo.

In Japan antros are rare, yet it can still work it the style is consistent. In Dragon Ball and Dr Slump we have plenty of anthro characters who blend well with humans. And there are also actual four legged beasts.

Some Japanese anthros

[cthulhubert]

Chrono Trigger had some really solid translations, Woolsey's best work. He captured the spirit that the original authors wanted, rather than the lifeless result you'd get from a more literal translation.

The three sages were originally Gasshu, Hasshu, and Bosshu. I'm told that to the Japanese ear, these have a vaguely "Chinese mountain hermit" ring, but they're just kind of silly in English, so using the traditional names for the biblical three wisemen was a great touch.

Magus' henchmen were Vinegar, Soysau, and Mayonnai, a trio of tasteless fiends; their names were a little too long for the technical limitations of the SNES, so they became the trio of tone-deaf fiends: Ozzie, Slash and Flea.

It does have a change I really don't like. The Masamune is Granleon in Japanese, a much more European name for an obviously European sword. It's senseless. If he had to change it, why not Excalibur?

And finally the 魔神器 (majinki), aka Mammon Machine

Majinki could be considered a portmanteau, but of a type that's transparent to a Japanese reader. 魔 means something like evil spirit or magic, same character as in mahou (as in mahou shojou: magical girls). 神 is usually said "kami" outside of compound words, it's the first character in Shinto (pronunciation changes at the beginning of a word), and refers to the gods/spirits that they venerate. 器 has meanings like tool/vessel/utensil etc.

魔神 (majin) is often translated as "devil". Of course: it's a god of evil spirits and magic. (Fun note; 魔人 is pronounced the same way but means magic/evil person; you might recognize it from Dragonball's majin bu, or a race that's ubiquitous in Isekai.) 神器 (jinki) is what Velma says is a "sacred treasure", a thing in which the kami dwell. Edit to add: to help hammer in the meaning this word would convey to a Japanese player the Imperial Regalia of Japan are called 三種の神器.

You can't convey all that in English, especially not by calling it either "evil/magic sacred treasure" or "devil vessel/tool".

Mammon Machine may lose the heavy "magic energy" association (given by story context anyways), but it finds another way to be slightly ambiguous about it's devilish associations; drawing in extra associations of greed? Piece de resistance.

[somethingsomethingeyyymacarena]

Saw a little kid on the bus stop with his mother, fully decked out in DBZ merch: Vegeta t-shirt, Goku jacket and Majin Buu cap. At some point he turns around to me for a sec and I instinctively make the Kamehameha gesture. He grins.

That's what life is all about, I think

[maybetomoko]

in an alternate universe ijichi wins against sukuna because ijichi vs sukuna would be like mr satan vs majin bu

[atamascolily]

Shang Bu Huan addressing the eldritch horror hell-bent on crushing humanity like a bug as majin-dono (魔神殿) has the same energy as "Fairest and fallen, greetings and defiance" from Diane Duane's Young Wizards series--yes, I'm here to kick ass and take names, but there's no need to be rude about it.
