Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread
I would be comfortable with this being the last chapter of Super, were it such.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
It is still worth mentioning the movie theater you talked about 2 years ago when you translated the V-Jump article. https://twitter.com/Cipher_db/status/1539210516895518721?t=f2A-zeDzIf_kL0Ve959Zsw&s=19 It depends on how far it got though. I’m sure if there’s a way to market it as a Toriyama id...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
In light of Akira Toriyama's untimely passing, my continued readership of Super, at this point, is going one of two ways: 1. If Toriyama was actively working with Toyotaro on a future story arc for the past couple of years and much of the plot outline is already finished, it's certainly posthumous ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
Just a note that this isn’t “early into an arc.” Per at least the official site when it posted the draft pages, it’s still the Super Hero arc epilogue.

Re: What are the thoughts of the Japanese people regarding Dragon Ball Super?
Following both Japanese and English-language social media reactions, they're virtually identical to ones in English-speaking countries. Basically every take I've seen in English, I've also seen in Japanese. The only difference is perhaps that it's obvious more kids (the actual target demographic) go...

Re: When do you think the Super anime is returning? Should I read the manga while waiting for the anime?
There's no guarantee we'll see the manga-only arcs animated, especially thinking about what audience a potential adaptation would even be for. They're deep into the continuity of a sequel series the target demographic (from the first airing of Super ) has already aged out of. Since Toei isn't in the...

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the whole new cell max, gohan beast, orange piccolo etc
I hate how the current designs for all the strongest characters except Goku (Broly, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Gohan) are now all intentionally big and/or monstrous. It honestly doesn't seem very Dragon Ball to me. I actually appreciate this after more than a half decade of very streamlined designs. We'r...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 98 - Official Discussion Thread
I actually thought the pacing of the chapter was great, and it got in a good mix of character beats (Gamma 2, Pan, Kuririn, Piccolo) and genuinely fun/exciting action. The chapter went through a handful of strategies for the fight, while keeping the cast on the backfoot. It feels perfectly in line w...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 98 - Official Discussion Thread
I'm kinda sick of this storyline by now. Cell Max, Orange Piccolo, the Gammas... a year and a half dealing with this in every shape and form, I just want this to end, I'm having Granola arc flashbacks. I'm like Granola shouting that he needs this to end for good. I doubt Piccolo will take a beating...

Sure, cherry pick one instance of a 60+ episode arc and he ends up helping out anyway on his own way. Aren't you cherry-picking exactly one moment out of the manga for your basis for its Vegeta too? His risking the tournament for Cabba in the manga is an example of the series taking elements that a...

OR.... Super Saiyan Vegeta is just that strong, and Goku is as well, cementing Goku and Vegeta in their base forms as above the likes of Shin and Cell by this point in the timeline even in the manga. After all, Goku needs to be taking on Uub in just a few short years. Goku vs. Trunks (manga...well,...

Re: I realized a horrible thing. If Toriyama dies or retires Dragon Ball AF will be a thing
I don’t see how Toriyama’s presence among the living or lack thereof affects this. There has been officially released Dragon Ball fiction without his name on it during his lifetime already. Lots of it.

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen
I think of all the potential future story arcs, a straightforward third trip around with Freeza as the main villain is among the least likely. In the vein of former antagonists prior, it seems far more in DB ’s wheelhouse (and just good storytelling) to use him to establish another new threat, or re...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I really dig Modern Toriyama’s more cartoonish art style, but by Kami this is horrendous. They look so flat. I’m pretty sure Dragon Ball would be dead without Super. Wishing for Super to end is wanting to pull the life support plug. I like Super , but I’m eagerly awaiting it ending on its own terms...

Re: What happened to that timeline the dead Future Trunks saved?
It's a big mystery. The series never even directly references the existence of this timeline, but it's a necessity that it exists based on how the series' time travel works and the background given on Cell and the Trunks he kills. Presumably Bobbid and Dabra would still come to Earth, and then it's ...

But, I think we're suppose to still see the 3 Kaioshin Majin Buu killed/absorbed and Dai Kaioshin as canon right? Mr. Buu exist as he does because Buu absorbed Dai Kaioshin so Toriyama and Toyatoro can't exactly ignore his existence. Dai Kaioshin and the existence of other previous Kaioshin directl...
