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

That does seem to imply that there will be a new arc at least? I mean the status of the manga is still somewhat in limbo. ...Incidentally I recently finished reading the Granolah arc and yeah I don't see how y'all can say that Black Freeza is not important. Like, the entire arc basically seems to, o...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

I'm a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy by Peter Jackson. I do not particularly care for Lord of the Rings, the trilogy of novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. Now, if you were to put me in a room with someone who loves the novels, but thinks the movies failed to capture what made the books good,...

Re: Why are the English dubisms far too ingrained into the fandom?

Exactly, Adamant has said in the past dubbing is looked down on as being for people of lesser intelligence or kids in Norway , and even then I'm skeptical because sangofe is Norwegian and is always respectful towards dubs and dub fans. In any cases no one can speak for the world based on their own ...

Re: Goku and why Roshi was more right than we ever could imagine.

Was it not pointed out right at the start of the Z portion that Goku had been wanting to train with Gohan but Chichi didn't let him? So yeah, despite being officially the strongest man on Earth and not knowing that there were even stronger people on other planets, Goku very much still wanted to grow...

Re: Do you think Dragon Ball Super exaggerated the post-production effects?

That blur effect is all over the movie actually, you just feel it more in that SSJ Goku vs Beerus sequence due to how fast Shida's animation is, but you can clearly see it in other fights, production team maybe thought that it would add a more "cinematographic" feel to it, but it just end...

Re: Kai is overdue for a new home release

I mean... What is there for them to offer with a new home release? Kai, unlike Z, seems to have been released in a fairly sensible way from the get-go, with the only major issue being the removal of the Yamamoto score which... they are literally not legally allowed to release anymore. As far as I ca...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Which is weird because I feel like Toriyamas manga didn’t portray Goku that much differently Goku in the original manga still expresses concern for his friends and his home and such, in the fight with Freeza at least. A far cry from Super Goku who, even when faced with Beerus being about to blow up...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

BTW I will be the lone ranger who dares be on topic and say it was lucky Toei finished animating Daima months ago. This means it's animated AND written in its entirety already so Toriyama did get to see it finished even if he didnt see it air. From what I recall all we had was that a decent number ...

Re: goku won the fight against cell, cell surviving is a plot hole and the english dub is to blame.

Dr. Gero being able to create anything we see in the Cell arc is absurd to the highest degree to be honest. Cell himself is absurd, as are 17 and 18. I never said it actually makes sense, only that the explanation in the dub matches what we see on screen better. They took a completely nonsensical sc...

Re: goku won the fight against cell, cell surviving is a plot hole and the english dub is to blame.

If anything I think the dub actually tried to fill that plot hole. Because in the manga and the Japanese dialogue Cell does very specifically say "As long as the core in my head remains undamaged, I can regenerate from anything." Which makes no sense in light of Goku blowing his entire upp...

I am confused at that person saying it's all AI upscaling though, because... Wasn't the FUNi remaster done from full HD scans done all the way back in 2007? I feel like calling it "AI upscaling " is not applicable there? Was AI used in the "cleaning" process? Well certainly, I th...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Dark stories were never Toriyama's thing anyway, even way back when he praised the Bardock special he said he loved it but it wasn't what he would write and if he did he would have made it a less serious story, which is of course what he ended up doing with Dragon Ball Minus. Yeah, I think the only...

If what we're seeing now is the result of T&T not having fully drafted the next story yet, I'd rather the manga go on hiatus than suffer as a longform series. Or maybe just end, lol. If it is that then... that would be kinda strange, being that the series spent the past year adapting content th...

The arc was never going to have a classic ending where the protagonist just fires a giant ki ball and obliterates the antagonist. Zamasu got immortality.

Re: A rebuttal to the defense of the Zamasu arc ending

Having Goku press a magic button to let another guy just zap the main villain away is by far the worst ending in all of Dragon Ball. No final battle, no excitement. No, just press the button on the magic remote. I will defend the Omni-King Button ever-so-slightly in that it is at least a thing the ...
