Megumi Ishitani in response to a question on twitter a while back broke down the creative choices made in episode 131, as well as Jiren's character.

You do know this thread was for people who have not given up, right? Yes, but: • It is not like people who have given up cannot state their opinions nonetheless. • You specified that it is not for people who have given up on the franchise, which is not my case. I have only given up on the main seri...

something is giving you the drive to come back and rewatch it, to think about it, to come here and discuss with us to see if somebody else understands it, to help your opinion...if not... disagree with them and confirm your own man. There is a hunger that compels us as people to go and relook or th...

I remember the BoG interview, I just don't take it seriously because nothing previously ever works like it and outside of the anime version of the BoG battle, nothing afterward does either. There are no instances SSGod excluded which is a whole other mess has Goku or any Saiyan power-up vastly just...

In order to make good longer arcs, they've got to bring something of an unpredictable and complex storyboard for a longer period to keep people hooked. We need an arc like Namek again where you've got multiple parts turning, different characters with different motivations, characters coming in and ...

Actually I don't have many problems with modern Dragon Ball. Yeah, we have bad animation but I was expecting something like that because Toei, and we have the problems with powerscalling. In "my chronology" I can fill the holes, but it would be much better if we have some explanations and...

2.) A.) Well don’t you remember Toriyama’s interview on BOG? He said that saiyans also having the ability to get stronger during a fight even outside of just their injuries, it’s just the more they fight in general the stronger they become. It’s also mentioned a few times in-universe and even back ...

1. The art style sucks. It takes away from the tone of the show, the old artystyle made our characters more rough. 2. The notable decrease in story writing. Arcs just kinda happen with little reason or rhyme, no connecting the dots except the tournament sagas. In sayain saga, it led to Namek. And t...

1.) well yes of course. Like I said every idea or concept can be conveyed through the things I listed (music, direction, animation, voice acting, symbolism, etc.) The execution or production can always be made better or more clear. But can you understand it with the shows limitations is the answer....

Well I can definitely agree that Dragonball should stop “upping the ante”’ After Beerus (if this is possibly where the multiverse stops or if the GoDs are all at the same or close level) I feel that we should stop with the surpassing of the gods, at least as far as on-screen goes. The theme of “surp...

1.) and that is a culmination of your opinions from what we know and what we don’t know and multiple assumptions. Not of what the show is in reality. A.) Yes it is a rushed show as far as scheduling goes, but this is assuming the writers aren’t at least trying here, they want to create a good show ...

If every concept and thing in Dragonball were expanded upon and explained in tight little bow there wouldn’t really be much to talk about now would there? It’s all in what keeps you curious. Sure you want the series to expand on it’s ideas. But think about it like this. Are you absolutely sure that...

I will say though I don’t get Grimlock’s whole “movement” he has been on, I understand the feel of wanting the franchise to move into it’s own direction and build on concepts. But you look at it through a very flawed lense. You see a concept and you think “more expanding on this concept = better” yo...

At the same time, it feels like a lot of the staff doesn't understand what made Dragon Ball unique and special and they just attempt to apply modern Shounen tropes and clichés to the series. This is a really good point that shows the negative side of bringing something back decades later after its ...

I just thought I'd chime in and add in my two-cents. I think this version of Jiren is the best yet: *flame shield up* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yd7LgQSPko&disable_polymer=1 Just thought I'd help lighten the mood *casually walks out* Ah I always loved that joke. But really don’t misunders...

1.) well yes of course, but that lies in things like Animation, music, direction. And on the viewers knowledge of both in-universe and out-of-universe logic to say “does this make sense to me?” Or to rephrase “Do I understand what the people behind this show are trying to speak to me with?” You can...

I mean. Yes the story doesn’t tell you through dialogue, but you can at least infer it from what the show is showing you. Interpreting what the writer’s intent and the themes, developments, and knowledge through showing and telling is the basis of discussion here man. You think Headcanon is some fo...

You misunderstand what I mean by the rage boosts and why they shouldn't happen: they shouldn't because it mechanically doesn't make any sense. For one thing, nobody but Gohan got rage power-ups before and Super handing it out to Goku and/or Vegeta between the two versions of Super is just not under...

That didn't make sense, but neither did retconing how portara work. In Super, but particularly in the FT arc, it seems like it was written with an anything goes mentality. Maybe they just like to retcon for the sake of retconning without thinking about the consequences? Spot on! Now hold on there m...

Yes, Whis has been right, but he isn’t all knowing, he expected the backfire because Goku has fallen out before due to his emotional state in UI Omen and MUI. Yes he did expect him to call out of UI from the reasons I’m about to say, but that’s all due to the explosion of anger draining him quicker...
