Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
In the Buu Saga Goku also told Gohan to get mad so he could release all his true potential and he wouldn't lose to anyone in the entire world. You do realise Goku and Vegeta's words were just building up to the reveal that Gohan couldn't get anymore meaningful rage boost power-ups? Chapter: 458 (DB...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
The "bad writing" part is Super Hero recycling a bunch of Cell Games imagery with it, but I digress. But at it's core that will always be the issue with Beast, you can't let a genie out of its bottle twice. Toriyama already gave Gohan a transformation which paid off all of his rage boosts...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The confusion is here: Beerus is not making a statement of fact but asking a question . Whis's answer is an assumption with the word "seems." Let it go man. There are no lines to read between. MUI is Goku's strongest form. Toyo or Toriyama aren't pulling a 4-D Chess gambit on the audience...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
TUI was one of the dumbest and most unnecessary things introduced in DBS, I hope it never appears again. Retconned UI just so Bardock an absolute nobody could teach Goku a dumb lesson about "fighting with emotion", Christ every time I remember the Granolah arc my head hurts. I hope Granola...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Same for the 2014 interview where Goku "realized" mastering base and SS1 raises his level while sapping less strength, not needing 2 or 3 anymore. I guess that realization never left the interview room because he's been using those forms left and right for 10 years straight. Some intervie...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread
People are talk about Goku being a huge fan of meditation in the manga when most of his training was physical and that's how he got strong, so that's why he was questioning Vegeta, No he was questioning Vegeta because he has no idea what mediation is, he thought Vegeta was just lazing around. https...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread
Wow, someone actually going to bat for some of the dumbest lines in Dragon Ball history. Anyway the major issue with the meditation scene in Super Hero is that Goku has ZERO idea what Vegeta is doing at all, he doesn't even identify it as meditation, he just thinks Vegeta is lazing around for no re...

Hmmm, there's too much positivity in this thread, it's time for me to nitpick!

Yeah.. In an ideal world, 2023 would give us Battle of Gods 2 with the long awaited rematch of Goku vs Beerus. Huh? I'm not waiting for this. I don't want this at all. Honest question, why not? Is it because the "DEEBEEZEE" fans would like it and you have a need to feel "superior&quo...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread
And outside of its little manga bubble the broader Dragon Ball franchise ignores the Super manga anyway. So... the Super manga will ignore the Super manga. Makes sense. It will happen sooner or later because that's how narrative works, you introduce something, tease it, leave threads open, even hav...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread
I always find it funny when people say "The Black Freeza arc HAS TO HAPPEN!" Why does it have to happen? Will Toriyama and Toyotarou spontaneously combust if it doesn't? Will the entire stock of Dragon Ball crash if it doesn't? Nope. And outside of its little manga bubble the broader Drago...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Well considering Black Freeza is essentially a glorified fan fiction transformation it's no real surprise he's weaker than Beerus. At any rate as far as Toriyama is concerned Broly > Beerus >= SSJB Goku and Vegeta fighting as a team. https://i.imgur.com/iqq6GE1.jpg https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
A random thing which grinds my gears are "Purist" fans who get uppity about "Fan-made names" and say stuff like:
"Erm Akshually the names 'Mystic Gohan' and 'Zenkai Boost' are NOT in the manga!!"
Like bro who cares? You know what they're talking about.

Has Toriyama Ever Given An Interview About Ultra Instinct?
I find it strange that Toriyama has given some kind of comment/interview about almost every single transformation since the 2013 revival (God, Blue, Beast, Golden, Orange) But I can't find any he's given for the most popular of them all: Ultra Instinct. The most I can find is an interview he gave ar...

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the whole new cell max, gohan beast, orange piccolo etc
Gohan Beast's hair is a little bit ridiculous but I have started to warm up to it. Also how was it silly? Besides Ultimate, all of Gohan's forms have been achieved by rage. By being an ugly looking rehash transformation with ZERO foreshadowing, build up or explanation. It's nothing more than Nostal...

At times like these I'd laugh at the pathetic state of Dragon Ball Super but even I'm too disappointed...
Although the next chapter tease not even hinting at Black Freeza is kinda funny.

If they're doing a third one it's either going to be a draw or Goku victory.
Or Supes wins again and they just really wanted that juicy December YT Ad revenue and sponsorship payments

I'm asking if you'd call it "Good" I'd call it good for what its purpose was. You keep changing my question, I'm not asking if you think it's good in regard to its "purpose" I'm asking if you think it's a good story by its own merits. In any case, I'm not sure what the relevance...

Would you call the story of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F "Good"? I don't have a problem with the story of Resurrection 'F' . I'm asking if you'd call it "Good" Also here's another question, which do you think had more narrative pay off and made for a better story when it comes ...
