I do not like it. The manga is degenerate. Too empty the action. A terrifying thing is the God who throws blocks of that resistant material, it's ridiculous as well as terrifying. Are we playing Crash? Another thing I do not like is total lack of pathos. Not only that, but the merger is nothing more than the merging of Goku with one as powerful as a super saiyan second. I do not know. Zamas is not a kaioshin and then how could he use the ring

Not really a fan of this chapter. Some cool concepts (I liked Zamasu force-choking), but I feel Zamasu lacked a lot of the presence he had in the anime.... in the anime it truly felt like he was making an ascension into ultimate divine strength.

Vegetto felt wasted here as well... sure, he didn't achieve much in the anime, but I feel like the short time we got him for was much more satisfying.

First use of Katchin cubes was great, but I'd have preferred his second use against Vegetto to be something a bit more grandiose, like a Katchin sword with his ki thrown in. In that sense I believe Toyotaro should have done better in this chapter.
Now we'll just have to see how it will all end before Future Zeno shows up.. I still think Trunks destroying his physical body like the anime is a real possibility.

There is also the possibility of a katchin sword made by shin powered by super Saiyan 2 rage boosted to rageta levels cutting zamasu when goku and Vegeta hold him down in a suicidal last resort

Well there's no reason for it to stop,so you'll keep enjoying it for as long as Super runs.

Also,can you please explain what the anime did that made you love the manga? Normally it's the things that the manga does that make someone like it,that's why I'm curious. :lol:

Manga characters look nicely drawn, compared to the anime, no funny models and stuff and consistent power scaling(much better than the anime atleast).

Plus, while i like 17 allot, Goku going blue vs everyone and their mother is putting me off from the anime. Next thing, we will see Goku going blue against Roshi.

Points taken.It actually saddens me that many fans(in some cases,me too) tend to love something(in that case the manga) not because of its own merits,but because something else(the anime) that can be compared to it...well pales in comparison to the former,at least in some instances,such as the ones you mentioned.

I can tell it would have been worse if Toriyama did the manga, too.. That's a scary thought.
nah , the anime apart from power levels which easiely can be ignored if you use the power scaling in super as its own thing and stop comparing it to dbz its interesting , entertaining and enjoyable.
the manga is boring no matter the power levels imo.

Yep sadly. If the anime had consistent power scaling, like in Z and the super manga. It would be awesome. Plus these filler episodes arent that exciting tbh. I enjoy the slice of lifes ep of super mostly(not ep 15 or the potaeufu arc,that arc was really bad and bland apart from seeing ssj3 Gotenks again),i also really enjoyed the u7 vs u9 eps(forgot what it was actually called), but these recruitment eps arent growing on me(i guess because they dont make much sense and is full of fanservice).

Do you think that these are ''filler'',in the sense that they won't be included in the manga?

Eh, i presume they will be. since it showed allot of important information. So, while i doubt it will be as long, i am sure it will be in the manga. The recruitment eps, somehow doubt it, it will proly be short flashbacks in the manga.

I think Gowasu was just emphasizing the importance of the object. Is Vegetto a god because he has Potara? No. As far as Gowasu understands it, there is some other procedure that needs to take place before Zamasu can be officially recognized as a Kaioshin.

Again, he could be wrong, so we'll see!
Considering he also mentioned you need to be a Supreme Kai in order to use the ring in the first place, but by raising Zamas' rank to a temp status would allow him to bypass that rule, I kinda doubt that.
He devolved into saying only one word. Time to hit the ol' cosmic trail.

I reread FT Trunks speech part and damn I love it! It felt natural.

Talking about how FT Bulma felt lonely since then and how her Hope was to see her husband one last time, his resolve of not letting his father die again, and how that influenced Vegeta to fuse with Goku was perfect. In the anime Vegeta was just acting like a tsundere again.

I have to give props to Toyotaro for this one. It's a great way of showing the love shared by Vegeta's family and make Vegeta accept to fuse.

I was never a fan of "That's my Bulma!!!" scene in BOG Movie. And the Super version of that was overdramatic for my taste which made me hate it.
So hats off to Toyo for being able to do something about them in a good and subtle way.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

I liked this chapter, especially Trunks's talk about his mother, and how it affected Vegeta. Very good! The fights were well done to me, and like I never cared for Vegetto before, even in the original manga, the time limit didn't bother me, on the contrary, I apreciate there's finally an explanation and the time limit is a good one.

seconded,that's my bulma sucks,especially in the Anime,ryo horikawa sounded weird, and it just terribly overdramatic,so props to toyotaro for making a memorable scene,is just sad that ft bulma wanted to see vegeta so badly, but she never got the chance​ :cry: ,I just wish when This is over, Vegeta will interact with bulma more often

How much screen time has Bulma gotten in the manga? Is it near the same as Gohan?
