Kanzenshuu

Nice to finally have dedicated threads for manga chapters. I liked this chapter. Finally Gas does not look like a dreadlocked Kid Buu anymore. He looks quite cool, now. And I like his fighting style. The art and panelling in was particularly good this time around. The dialogue was also interesting, ...

Gas seems pretty confident in his abilities as they stand (despite that his confidence may be misplaced). He reacts to the Bardock encounter as if it was a fluke; that he has always been stronger. This is not necessarily a prediction, but if he had one wish, he could conceivably wish back Bardock s...

You guys don't think this chapter plays appropriately with the themes of the arc? I think that's worth thinking about, anyway. It deals with the root of Granolah's trauma. While Vegeta and Granolah are prisoners of the past, Bardock is willing to change the course of his life on a whim based on the...

Monaito? Isn’t he like 213? That would probably make him weaker than Kami.

When reading the spoilers, I was somewhat concerned with how a clash with Heata would allow everyone to go their separate ways. The reason is because Oil wonders if Bardock overheard their plan to overthrow Freeza. With mutually-assured destruction a play, there's a chance for a deal where everyone...

Correct. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Goten appearing in this movie as a sixteen/seventeen-year-old teen while still looking like seven... It's Dragon Ball Super, after all. It has been depicting some characters wrongly up until now... At least there's a chance we could see Goten chan...

Not a whole series, but a new canonical TV special supervised by Toriyama about Bardock’s life would be cool, I think. It could also explore Saiyan culture furthermore.

It would be cool, for example, if Bardock was himself a rocket baby who was sent to another planet as a kid and wiped it out.

I infer that a reason why Bardock was portrayed “too heroically” was because the backstory was provided by Monaito, who would view him more positively. It cannot be this. We as readers are being shown exactly what happened. If all we got was a story told by Monaito in a few panels without a flashba...

I wonder what the Heeter's wish will be. Elec has stated over and over again he isn't interested in brute force. He considers Intel power, and all his moves in this arc has been exactly that. Manipulation. He even had a chance to send Granolah after Freeza and refused to do it. I don't think it'll ...

Why is it implied having Goku softened him up? Raditz was born before even showing up in the the panel, what changed? I think Goku must have reminded Bardock of someone. And maybe that someone was also called Kakarot, which is why he had no hesitation when coming up with a name on the spot? As it i...

We also know from Minus that Bardock knew Prince Vegeta’s personality, which implies they may have been on a mission together at least once.

Chapter's out. I have some thoughts. Bardock's role in this flashback, as it stands, feels increasingly forced and contrived. Anyway, Granolah’s mom is hot. I agree with your take, for now, but I would wait to see what happens next before concluding that Bardock’s role is forced. There may be a lot...

Unless something got lost in translation, I think there is a subtle hint that Bardock naming his son Kakarot has some untold background. It wasn’t the first time he saw a baby according to Gine, which implies that he saw Raditz like that, yet when he first saw his new son he was… surprised? Maybe I ...

Toriyama had the idea of having the dragon balls. Hence, there had to be a Namekian on Cereal. And he designed Monaito himself, so it surely was an addition he all he came up with. Without Monaito, we get no Bardock. Easy as that, in my opinion. Therefore, it’s highly probable that it was Toriyama’s...

Pan powering up got me the most hyped, followed by Piccolo getting so much attention. I really hope Goku spends most of the movie punching Broly in Beerus planet and doesn't show up much. I hope this too. I would like it a lot if the movie focused on Pan and Piccolo co. vs Red Ribbon on Earth while...

There are three HD pictures of Pan that look phenomenal, especially the background: https://twitter.com/DBZcom/status/1446163486413885443?s=20 The trailer quality is very bad and probably doesn’t do justice to the movie’s visual. That said, I am not a huge fan of how it looks but I also don’t mind i...

It would be incredibly cool to have Piccolo as a co-protagonist. I miss the Saiyan arc days where he was 2nd in charge after Goku. Hopefully if he plays a big role it will be enough to spark some new love for him, with the chance he ends up getting a power up in the future so that he can play more i...

Toyotaro is also a big fan of the TV special so maybe he will push for Bardock’s characterization to lean a bit more towards the TV special one’s. Toriyama liked it too. Thats why he had Frieza wait a month after Bardock Arrived to Blow up the Planet. So the Major Events of the Special Likely still...

Krillin being Goku’s best friend shouldn’t be up to debate.

Goku surely sees Vegeta as his friend, yeah, but he’s more his sparring partner than best friend. I don’t think Goku would be as upset to see Vegeta being killed as he was when Krillin was.
