Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

I'll say this much, I do hope that Goten and Trunks will be given more to do following this chapter. Call me crazy, but it doesn't seem like much of a coincidence that the boys' lack of proper guidance in terms of martial arts was brought up quite a lot during the Super Hero arc...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

This is just speculation, but in light of recent events, I wonder if Daima is the way it is because Toriyama went into it knowing it would likely be the final Dragon Ball thing he worked on. Daima heavily drawing from the Buu arc, the final arc of the manga, based on what we've seen thus far would ...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

I don't know if anyone's posted this, but Cartoon Network (and I do mean Cartoon Network , no middleman stuff with Adult Swim. Like, CN THEMSELVES) acknowledged Toriyama's passing. While I do find it sweet, I do have to ask... would it have been an issue for them to post an actual image of Goku, rat...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

I'm going to be totally honest here... while it's absolutely gutting me right now that Toriyama has left us, THIS might have been the first thing on my mind after hearing the news. Between GT and Toyotaro's work, I'm genuinely wondering if there's anyone who can continue DB's work, or if they even S...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.

You know... this January, I finally took the time to read Neko Majin, and I can't even begin to describe how hilarious it was. Like, you could tell the man really was a gag manga writer at heart. I feel like Toriyama's non-DB works don't get enough credit.

My heart legit stopped for a moment upon seeing this on Twitter. :(

May he rest in peace. If nothing else, I owe a lot to him and Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon) for getting me into anime/manga as early as my toddler years.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

With GT, Goku's power was the same as an adult. With Daima, it would be more interesting if he has to fight without Super Saiyan and his power level is now back to how it was during the Pilaf saga. I agree with this. Cause if it's just going to be more of the same with Ki blasts and transformations...

Were there ever intended to be more lyrics to the song, or is what we got all that was meant to be there? 2. What's t...

Ah, I see you're a person of culture. 8) Still though, I'm not holding too much hope for Takanashi, because he's apparently booked for the rest of this year? I think he's working ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

This was a fun enough chapter, but Goku and Vegeta's relationships with fighting, training, and even themselves feels completely backwards. I just can't see Cell or Boo arc Goku acting the way he has throughout all of the Super Hero arc. It's doubly frustrating because Toyotaro keeps putting clear ...

That fight on Earth with Gohan and Goten in SSJ was just hysterical. There's no way none of the artists at Toei realized both of these characters look nearly identical but what could they do at that point ehhh... That's why I hope Goten's current look sticks and replaced the GT hair forever in all ...

Which is probs the reason Toyo writes him as the much more quiet/reserved/shy type with Trunks taking all of the high-school charisma popular boy tropes. That being said I ain't against that, it can be make up for a great character on its own too, it would be silly if everyone was a massive extrove...

Re: Iyoku's plan expand and keep Dragon Ball popular until 2034.

You know, it might be worth noting that there may have also been another reason Shueisha was willing to hand over (certain parts of) DB to Iyoku. There's apparently a rumor that Shueisha themselves have been attempting to "rid themselves" of DB to some degree (due to investors' influence) ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Same here. I know it's a long shot, given the popularity of Beerus and Whis, but I'm still hoping that Daima takes place in some sort of alternate continuity where the likes of Super just... doesn't happen. Just so we can get a story where the Dragon Team doesn't have what's essentially their (curr...
