Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

Disappointed with the whole "grounded for months" bit for Goten/Trunks as an explanation why they're still so weak. Two half saiyans with insane potential and this is how the story always treats them. Yes yes let these two be the next Goku and Vegeta with another super duper form 1 to 15 ...

Re: How do you rank the Super arcs and movies?

1. Galactic patrol prisoner saga There's not much to say here Goku finally masters Ultra Instinct, Vegeta gets a worthy redemption arc, the villain that is Moro is cool and has an awesome first goat design. Gohan and Piccolo get a joint combo for 73, Yamcha returns to action and the rest of the team...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen

Some people think that just because the manga stuff has yet to be referenced anywhere else that it isn't "canon" or that Toriyama doesnt care about it. That's simply not true. Toyotaro doesnt do what he wants, everything in the manga at the very least needs to have Toriyama's approval bef...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen

You talk by given assumptions out of your exclusive perception of things. Super shown they *CAN* do whatever with the franchise, even splitting the narrative lines in two. Your out of nowhere points that also lead to contradictions: * So far, Moro, Granolah, Ultra Ego and many elements *ARE MANGA E...

Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen

At least not in the manga exclusive saga because Frieza has to live both in the manga and in the anime, so in the manga Toyotaro will not choose to put him to death. The only opportunity for some serious fighting with him is in the next movie, because as we know it will be part of both manga and ani...

Re: Toyotarou's Ideas Leave No Impact on Dragon Ball Super

Recently I've realised something frustrating and kinda sad about Toyotarou's manga exclusive arcs of Dragon Ball Super, that is they leave no real lasting impact on the status quo of the franchise . A very clear example of this is that the Moro and Granolah arcs didn't establish any new recurring c...

Re: Head of Dragon room Akio Iyoku stepped down!

Vegeta and Beerus' different ways of using Ultra Ego

In the saga of Granolah the Survivor Goku had to find a way to use Ultra Instinct that would be in line with his nature, meanwhile in the opposition technique to Ultra Instinct that is Ultra Ego, Vegeta found his answer when he reached this form. Beerus uses this technique focusing only on destructi...

Re: Toyotarou Is creatively bankrupt

This whole franchise is, man. I have to disagree. At least with the anime. Zamasu and the ToP are legit 2 of my favorite arcs in the entire franchise. The former is probably the most creative the series has been in decades and the latter is simply a lot of fun. U6 tournament is a bit hit or miss bu...

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies

This is much dumber than anything goku has ever done in the anime I disagree with you because in this case Goku had Moro under full control, to the point that Moro broke his hand on his chest. In the case of Cell it was Goku who literally gave him an even greater advantage by doing so because at th...

Toyotaro's role in the Dragon Ball Super manga That's how I wonder how much Toyotaro can claim the rights to Super itself, it's well known that the Dragon Ball brand belongs to Toriyama and Shueisha, but Toyotaro himself not only illustrates Super, but many of the ideas in this manga as well as char...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 94 - Official Discussion Thread

We end with Piccolo going Orange this chapter or with Cell Max being awakened. Looking at the fact that the chapter will start with Pan's kidnapping, Toyotaro would really have to chop the threads from the film and shorten Gohan's fight to end up with an awakened Cell or Orange Piccolo. In my opini...

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?

I thought it was widely known that GT is non canon/side story/different timeline? Also with Super creating a bunch of inconsistencies I was also under the assumption that the EoZ was going to be retconned. DB as a whole is super inconsistent (no pun intended) So I assumed there was always different...
