Kanzenshuu

Yeah well Super Hero still fits with Moro and Granolah, more or less. Toyotaro surely received the script when it was over, to ensure he did not do anything which could make his manga and the movie obviously incompatible. Explain how Gohan didn't know Piccolo could grow big in Super Hero. This is a...

I doubt it that Piccolo will ever slack off. He’s never done so and he is always telling Gohan not to. Even Gohan is doing training in secret nowadays, and he looked bulked up in the final manga chapters so he likely kept on training after Super Hero, and so did Piccolo.

In one of those manga talk shows they said that more than just the Super Hero movie was going to come this year. I fully expect an announcement of a new weekly anime. I would bet for an October release. And it will probably cover Moro + Granolah, as it seems like Toriyama is only willing to write t...

In EOZ Gohan did say he would also participate in the tournament, if he knew they had to be seated just next to the arena. Well Gohan is a biologist right? Of course he wouldn’t really want to show himself at a popular martial arts tournament, to keep a lower profile. Especially when competing with...

I don't think "calm" has to mean "so stoic that Goku displays no emotion whatsoever", and outside of the Tournament of Power, I don't feel that was ever particularly the case for the silver-haired form. Its main principle being opposite to Super Saiyan (calm vs. anger) was an in...

All I wanted from UI is Goku having a casual conversation as someone is trying to hit him and he's dodging without even reacting to it and still continuing his convo Something like how he embarrassed Butta and Jeice, but even more over the top. Have him being Goku but reacting without thinking abou...

:evil: Re: Whose idea: A smaller-scale, Earth-based setting was a Dragon Room suggestion. The Red Ribbon Army came from Toriyama’s first rough outline. Source: Iyoku V-Jump interview (in the midst of translating for Kanzenshuu) Thanks! I wonder what the rationale was to make it a smaller Earth-centr...

On another topic: For those out off by the UI developments: Did you see a particular path forward with stoic Goku? He hardly talks during the action against Jiren and Moro. For me, the developments here fix that meta issue (dull Goku), while also reinforcing existing themes of the series and charac...

The movie was nothing extraordinary to me. A fun one for sure, but it was not worth all this wait. I wonder what took them so long to produce and release it. Hopefully Piccolo and Gohan (and Pan too) will play important roles alongside Goku and Vegeta in future stories, or else this story would be q...

The chapter was very mid. The fights keep being very boring and/or dragged out needlessly. Goku’s Omen being superior to his “mastered” Ultra Instinct makes very little sense, as if in the original manga he went back to Kaioken after Super Saiyan, or to SS1 after SS2… A better explanation would be n...

I find it nice that Goku was actually saved by the Dragon Balls and that Bardock only was a proxy for it.

Considering that the serie is called Dragon Ball…

It also further differentiates Goku from Superman, I guess.

Awesome thread! Thanks.

Bardock’s power up feels like the human equivalent of adrenalin, a state in which you draw out much more strength than usual but then revert back to normal (and are much tired afterwards, like Bardock was). Ultra Instinct too was adrenalin-like at first, which is why it took quite a bit to Goku to l...

Bardock's wish was just for Goku to hear. Remember they're listening to this entire fight, and the recording ends when the chapter ends. Right. Maybe that’s just it, as it doesn’t feel like Monaito did the wish at all. As for the Ultra Instinct talks - the arc was clearly going towards Goku masteri...

Presumably, even if Monaito would have thought of making Bardock stronger in exchange of some of his lifespan, Bardock would have still refused the wish, thus the outcome would have been the same. Moreover, the fight is set in the past, so the point that characters now know of the trick does not hol...

The more I think about it, the more it seems like Bardock’s wish was just a small characterisation moment. In that regards, he was no different from King Vegeta and Paragus who also wanted their sons to thrive. Considering how Raditz did not, I doubt that the wish was effectively made. But it’s left...

And the end-note (from the serialisation itself?) seems to point exclusively in that direction as well, given that it says " All you need is 'determination to win'!!! ", so I think it should be taken seriously as key. Where did you see this end note? I don’t see it on MangaPlus. Either th...

Well wasn’t it weird how only Bardock, among all the Saiyans, smelled that something was wrong out of Freeza recalling everyone? It kind of makes sense that he got some hint of it in the past. He wasn’t outright told so, by the way. This Bardock truly feels like a nobody. He just had the whim of sav...
