Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Just to add from myself Toyotaro's post on Threads regarding Toriyama and Goku, I'm not sure what he was referring to although I can guess. "I wonder if Mr. Toriyama didn't like the trend of Goku being made into a saint...". https://www.threads.net/@toyotaro_vjump/post/C4xeqvSRxw-/ I mean...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

Well, part of the reason why this idea of ending it at 28th Tournament is superior, is because that is the original ending Toriyama planned for the story. Super is supposed to be part of Toriyama's original story. It is not a sequel, it is not a continuation of the original story; it is retroactive...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

Like I always say: Super will never go past EoZ, and I most certainly don't want Super to recontextualize EoZ to fit in any of its bullshit. As far as I'm concerned, EoZ is fine the way it is. "Updating" EoZ feels like a slap in the face to Z's legacy, and it will absolutely be worse for i...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

It's a bit of a 'whatever' chapter, but I felt like the ending silent montage was done well and captured a good mood. Gokuu forgetting who Pan is is such a bad and pointless moment, it doesn't really do or say anything and isn't even funny. Hopefully everyone on Toyo-tarou's team gets to rest for a...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Hard not to associate that chapter title with recent events and the relationship between Toriyama and Toyotarou. I'm looking forward to seeing if this chapter will include some kind of tribute. nothing major. Just a note by the english language team that they are deeply sorry about Toriyama's passi...

Re: Is Super on its way out?

Not to dump on anyone who enjoys the manga, but to be honest it feels like the manga has outlived its purpose. The manga seems more like it's a curiosity to most people that I've interacted with online and people I know personally haven't even read more than a couple chapters if at all. That's actu...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Weirdly enough, The thing about the half breed saiyans not having the will to improve and push themselves like their full blooded fathers always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, at least when you incorporate the context of the original DB. When Goku went through his adventures as a kid, he contende...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I also don't see why some people need blood and gore to enjoy a Dragon Ball series. TBF: I think the censoring robs some of the fights of their intensity. Like, I’ve always hated how every recreation of the “Full Nelson!” sacrifice censors Piccolo’s attack going through Goku. And I do think it does...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Dragon Ball has no canon and never did. It's more of a western concept. Just enjoy what you enjoy regardless of what anyone thinks. This is the correct answer. Especially when Toriyama has been forthcoming that he pretty made a lot of Dragon Ball up on the go. Attempting to apply a "Marvel lev...

So... this is it?... My friend Toyble actually OWNS Dragon Ball now?! This is very sad news. Happy Toyble can officially add his designs for Xicor and SS5, but still... very very sad. The answer is..it's Toei. It's always been Toei. I don't think Toriyama's passing will effect Super or Daima all th...

So uh, what’s up with all the power levels and color changes at this point. I keep dipping out of modern Dragonball but pop back in once in a while when something crazy hits the internet. Are we basically just making Mattel manga/anime for toy sales?
The easy answer to this is: yes.

I might give this one a shot. I tried getting into the other DBZ TCG and that was absolutely a non-starter as no game shop seemed to support it.

If super ever decides to recontextualize EoZ--it certainly won't happen in a video game.

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

I didn't really care for this chapter otherwise. 50+ pages of pointless sparring does not a Toriyama-crafted DB make. Toyo my boyo, get to the premise of the next arc or at least conclude the manga if there's no story left to tell. This is aimless and tacked on. These are all good, unassailable poi...

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...

Like I say dozens of times...they will never mess with EoZ, it's just not going to happen. So I don't think anyone should be surprised that the game keeps vague or doesn't mention at all anything that happens in Super. It would require massive restructuring of that epilogue to make it work, never mi...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Just watched the new trailer. While I liked what I've seen from the gameplay, it also raised me some concerns about how they'll handle some version of the characters, specially the fusions: Vegetto (Blue): I really hope they don't make this guy as a separate character. It would be a waste of a char...
