But it is you who are assuming that Hitto was made weak to benefit Vegeta in some way. This makes no sense.Whatever wrote:
Having the strongest person of U6 weaker than not just Goku but Vegeta and making up a new rule for ssjb just to treat Vegeta's defeat with kid gloves is hurting the narrative.
Making Hitto be weaker Goku SSB in power, Toyotaro automatically was also making him be weaker than Vegeta. It was not something meant to benefit any particular character as you are saying, and he did not need to explain
But you're talking as if the anime version was correct, in which Goku actually became 10x more powerful than Vegeta, and the manga is '' wrong '' because Vegeta was not weaker than Goku, only with 10% of his powerIts pretty clear that Toriyama's outline had Goku being 10 times stronger than Vegeta in both outlines(since that part is present in both versions),so Toyotaro went out of his way to pander to Vegeta and make up as much excuses as possible to make his defeat not clean.
Why the version that benefits Goku is correct, and the version that supposedly benefits Vegeta is wrong?
It became clear that Vegeta had been rage-boosting after seeing Goku, Trunks and Mai defeated. He had even put his life at risk with the Gamma Flash Burst because the technique was very powerful and Vegeta had not yet recovered. There's nothing wrong here. Gamma Burst Flash is much stronger than Final FlashGamma Burst Flash is a normal ki blast,Vegeta is weaker than Goku and he was battle damaged,MSSJB Goku could barely handle 1 Merged Zamasu and Vegeta evaporated 2 Merged Zamasus.you really don't see the problem with the result?
Goku and Vegeta have no connection with Black and Zamasu?sintzu wrote:The whole arc is because of Future Trunks,its his world thats in danger and he is the one who will have to deal with the consequences in the end.Whatever wrote: What about the anime's staff showing favoritism to Trunks ? that hurt the anime's narrative way more than Vegeta ever did in the manga. Yeah Vegeta got Black to himself compared to the anime but Goku on the other hand got fused Zamasu mostly to himself as well.
While the way they went with powering up Trunks was bad,him getting the spotlight in an arc all about him is not and even with Trunk's asspulls they still managed to make Goku Black and Zamasu formiddable.
Goku Black was a scrub in the manga since not only did Vegeta beat him twice but he got under his skin easily most of the time,heck Toyotaro even pushed Vegeta to the forefront even more with the Garma Burst Flash thing,despite making Spirit Sword Trunks level of sense.
I think you can agree that the story of the Future Trunks arc revolves around Future Trunks,Zamasu,Goku Black and to a lesser extent Goku,Vegeta has no connection at all with the villians and he is just along for the ride.
Giving a character so disconnected from the storyline the most spotlight kinda makes story suffer from it,we shouldn't be aiming for Gohan vs Cell levels of bad storytelling,should we?
The reason the Buu saga felt fitting having Goku and Vegeta ending Buu was because they were the reason Buu was released to begin with,so they were connected to the villain and the core of the story.
The first had his family and himself killed in another timeline, while the second had his wife Bulma killed, and the life of his son Trunks destroyed because of the actions of the enemy
So they also had a big connection with the villains.
What's wrong with Black being defeated twice? At first, he was still getting used to Goku's body, but when he suffered a zenkai, he dominated Vegeta and made him and the others flee to the past. Vegeta trained and managed to overcome it.
Honestly, this is better than base Black being able to hit hits on SSB Vegeta after suffering a zenkai, which only happened because he took some blows from the Goku SSJ2
