Overly hasty enthusiasm about theoretical new anime

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that people are still waiting for new content in this series. What bothers me more is that people are taking news from leakers that might as well be considered a rumor on an online anime, almost as an official announcement from the creators. Especially since all we have ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

It's unfortunate that the time of the plot was set before Super Hero, because it kills more room for maneuver and takes away the possibility of a more important role for Goten and Trunks in the future.

A witch in the world of kaioshin

As far as we know from the manga, the kaioshin world is a sacred land where only gods walk, until the events of the Buu saga. So what could it have been that a witch appeared there, who then merged via earrings with the current old Kaioshin?

Some other kind of deity?

Re: Archetype of the main tournament opponent

Can't believe no one responded to this sooner, but yeah, there is a clear formula with these characters and I like them all. To an extent, you could also add Piccolo Jr. in there, though he only started to change his ways and find respect for Goku after the tournament. It's funny how all of them ex...

Re: Manga Readers Get the Short End of the Stick

Yeah I think it's like people have said, the greater chunk of Dragon Ball popularity comes from the anime/movies. However at least you keep getting a continuation of the story - I wanted to wait for the anime to return to see the manga adaptation and didn't want the story spoiled for me, but as tim...

A reference to the three Namekians in Super Hero

Director Kodama said in this interview that there will be a reference in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero to the three Namekians who tried to oppose Frieza's army. Perhaps you can guess which moment in the film this is about? Because I've already watched it 3 times and didn't catch that, thanks in adva...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I wouldn't be surprised if the next arc takes place after the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai. If Toyotaro and Toriyama want to refresh the charadesign of all the characters, it can take some times. The only problem with this theory is that the Granola arc seems to take place 3 or 4 years before the EOZ. If...

Re: Anyone else get the impression that Super is on its last legs?

I feel like Black Freeza will be the final arc. Super started right after his Golden form was introduced (in the movie), so it makes sense for it to end with his Black form and with him being finally defeated. Overall, the reveal of Freeza's return just screams "we're teasing the last arc"...

Re: Orange Piccolo has been nerfed?

Does it ultimately matter, since all that's relevant is what's actually on-screen in the final production? We don't consider Goku an actual monkey (as he was in initial prototypes) and we don't consider second-form Cell the final villain of that arc (as was Toriyama's initial plan). Perhaps not, bu...

Orange Piccolo has been nerfed?

As we recently learned, the previous version of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero script did not include Gohan's main role, meaning there was therefore a possibility that originally Orange Piccolo was strong enough to kill Cell Max. However, with the addition of Gohan to the storyline at the urging ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Uhm, okay. I don’t think you said anything I didn’t say. There are smatterings of times where Toei doesn’t go “jacked guy big power” and there are smatterings of times where Toriyama goes “jacked guy big power”. There are no absolutes in the universe, my guy. We define things based on trends. The t...

If Hakaishin Toppo is anything to go by, a “True” Ultra Ego Vegeta is only gonna look more monstrous.. Probably with a more reddish skin tone. Could be pretty cool. If Hakaishin Top is anything to go by, I do not want to see that anime-ism introduced into the manga in any way, shape, or form. Toei ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Well, I can't lie, this whole development has piqued my interest. It's all very sudden and illogical and late in the game, but this is the kind of balls-out left swerve the arc desperately needed more of. One aspect of this arc that's both a key strength and weakness is the intimate stakes and smal...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Well, I’m relieved that the Granolah arc is finally over. It and the Moro arcs felt like they dragged on forever. On the other hand, I can’t say I’m crazy about the idea of Freeza getting another new form and presumably serving as the main antagonist of another arc. This DBS era in general has been...

But the 3 of them were fully healed by Monaito, no?

I saw 3 different videos from 3 different people saying this.

I don't mind Freeza getting a new form. It was even teased in the Broly film. But like... why Black Freeza? :lol: Super Saiyan Blue. Rosé. Goku Black. Golden Freeza. Orange Piccolo. While I like a lot of these forms, the naming convention is getting a bit stale. It's legit a joke at this point. Nee...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Did Toriyama ever explain in an interview or essay why he altered the final chapter for the Kanzenban like that? I don't think so I've seen some try to surmise that (along with being a last-minute "haha grumpy Vegeta gag") he wanted to clarify Vegeta's character post-Boo since the Z anime...
