Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Philosophical question. Do any of you ever wonder why these same arguments over the decades never seem to end? Just recycle over and over again? Its because even when something is said outright, in plain and simple terms, it's still not good enough for DB fans. It almost seems like people don't wan...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
Don't get me wrong, I love Gohan, and I'm as excited about his Beast form as Goku is, but, if Beast really is just his rage ramped up to 11... it's just super saiyan 5 and that's so disappointing given the path he's taken to get here. What happened to finding a path to an ultimate form apart from hi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
My point is, against Gas with "True UI," or whatever, and now even with "Mastered UI" against Gohan, he hasn't been fighting any different than anyone else. He hasn't been fighting like he did even when he debuted Omen against Jiren or like when he "mastered" "UI&q...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
I hate how, every time now after Goku’s fight with Granolah, his UI has been depicted as simply a generic power-up. Gohan's Beast form is just that, a monstrous raw numbers boost that somehow puts him on the level of gods, kinda like Jiren's strength. But as the Granolah arc clarified, Goku’s silver...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Gas seems pretty confident in his abilities as they stand (despite that his confidence may be misplaced). He reacts to the Bardock encounter as if it was a fluke; that he has always been stronger. This is not necessarily a prediction, but if he had one wish, he could conceivably wish back Bardock s...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
The crocodile tears here are so delicious.
How pissed are you all going to be when the next time we see Bardock, in the flashback Gas has from 40 years ago, he enters the False Super Saiyan state in order to overcome Gas' superior battle power? Can't wait for all of the salt.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
For what it's worth, in 73, to distinguish blue from blue UI, Toyo gave the blue form those drops of blue aura and removed them when going UI in blue. Nice, okay, that makes sense too, because I know a lot of people were wondering why Toyo had brought the blue drops back considering those had last ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
IS he using Blue UI in the latest chapter? If he is, then I was simply mistaken. I've been under the impression he was just in his normal Blue form. If he's using Blue UI, then I can buy it with little to no issue, I was just under the impression that somehow because it was really clever he was able...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
But we're supposed to just go with Goku figuring out where Granolah is going to attack, waiting for it, watching for it, and then consciously dodging Granolah's attacks, and that working when UI couldn't do that, just because, ohhhhhh, nice one Goku, you figured it out? That doesn't make any sense....

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Do you see where I'm going with this? Ultra Instinct lets Goku dodge automatically, but how do you dodge something you aren't familiar with? It's because he now knows Granolah's shtick that he's able to barely dodge the attacks. And he's still taking tremendous damage. If he was using true ultra in...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Okay, so, still, I never saw it as Goku shifting his internal organs Yakuza assassin style using UI anyway, and now that after lots of additional discussion more people are agreeing that, no, that's not what Goku did in his latest match up against an even more powerful Granolah, how exactly is Goku'...

So... okay, overall, awesome chapter, I'm really excited to see where they take the story after this, but, um... after thinking about this for more than a minute... I thought Goku learning to adapt to Granolah's fighting style was really neat at first, but then... I realized how really dumb and inva...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Well... how exactly did Monaito upend Granola's life the first time? Maybe he was the one who hired the Saiyans to attack the planet and he's trying to repent? Could be interesting. Freeza being responsible for the attack seems like a red herring considering he hasn't shown up once in the arc. ... ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Granola's remaining 3 years of life might play a role now too, maybe in some form of time skip during or in the end of the story. Also possible! That number was so specific I’ve been wondering if it wouldn’t be used to bridge a timeskip to close to the original epilogue. (Technically it should prob...

So... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DWflfpaW4AAIThc.jpg I've been planning a Super-Era rework of Krillin for a while now, a new chance, a new awakening of power and dignity for our little bald badass in which he builds upon the teachings he learned from the Turtle Hermit and refines his existing techn...

I think, if we're talking about what should To...

lol you guys, look, you know I've been one of THE most vocal critics of Toyo's writing and his ability to plot a full, coherent, interesting arc, but if you think bringing Bardock back into the present story would ruin Dragon Ball for you, I just don't understand you all anymore. There are myriad di...

Re: Ultra Instinct doesn’t come WITH a powerup...
I think what you mean to say is, Ultra Instinct does not, itself, directly increase the Power Level of the user. It does nothing to amplify the actual Ki, whether that be dormant Ki, active Ki, or whatever. There is no multiplicative effect like any of the Super Saiyan states, which makes me wonder ...

Re: I believe “God ki” and its “sensibility level” are a continuum of degrees..
Honestly? "Sensible." 8) But seriously, it's a wholly logical and well-reasoned hypothesis, it would make sense and, perhaps most importantly, it's something I could see Toyotaro thinking about and implementing. Not Toriyama as it's far too technical, I think, for something Toriyama would ...
