It was more like Dark Adventure and they kind of got Trapped there and were dependent on Goku to save them.
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

Yes, they did need Goku to save their lives, but the search for the DB's allows for great usage of the cast no matter their power levels.

No doubt that Freeza arc plot was way more exciting than the RR arc, but Planet Namek could be less bland IMO

Goku using Hakai was the best thing to come out of both adaptations of Super for me. It was very reminiscent of him using Kamehameha for the first time after watching Roshi use it. Even though Goku having actually seen Beerus preform the Hakai wasn't shown in the manga, I still thought it was cool (I'm sure a small panel of Beerus casually showing off the move in front of Goku will be in the next volume). Toyotaro keeping Goku's trait of mimicking a technique after having only seen it once was a nice touch, despite his Hakai being incredibly half assed in comparison to Beerus'.

I could care less if some call it an absurd "asspull." Among everything else, I liked it for the fact that it was absurd.

Also, Caulifla is the best thing to come out of Dragon Ball in a long time, period.

No. Out of the anime and manga, that moment was the best.

Frost is awesome, his color combination and design are so damn good his personality dosen't even matter..

Although I would like for freeza's final form to be his design instead of solid gold, that freeza personality together with this design would be touching extremes

Toppo has a really cool design and personality. I really like the dynamic between him and Goku before Jiren is even factored in to the equation.
Seems like an unpopular opinion to me because outside this website I've noticed a lot of hate for Toppo. People don't like the way he looks.

Yup, I can confirm that. People also seem to treat it as a fact that Toppo is definitely weaker than Kaio-Ken SSB Goku despite him surviving SSB Goku's point blank Kamehameha and later being treated as Goku's equal by Beerus. Apparently, popularity is also a factor that decides how strong a character is, and vice-versa. :roll:

I did see hate for Toppo when he was first introduced, but after him surviving the point blank Kamehameha he seems to be pretty okay for the fans

It's an unpopular opinion right now (a lot of people were saying the previous one was better), but Haruka is probably gonna be the best ED song of Super by far. A super hype opening and a calm, soothing ending work the best for an action-oriented series like Dragon Ball Super, especially if there's a really good cliffhanger at the end of the episode. The combo worked for Parasyte, and it will work for Dragon Ball.

Calling it right now.

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I feel like it might be just by how many discussions there are regarding the topic... but I really like the Dragon Box colors. I know that they're not "the way they're supposed to be," but I really don't care about that. I feel like I'm watching the Dragon Boxes. When I first got them, I was a little disappointed that the skin wasn't more pink and the sky wasn't more green like I felt it was when I'd look at screenshots. I know it might sound bizarre, but I actually like that.

I don't like the look of SSJ3, not a fan of the long hair no eyebrows. SSJ2 was the most aesthetic.

I agree with this people seem to only care about the latter half of the namek arc, but the 3 way hunt for dragonball's and scheming was pretty exciting to see even though it ultimately came down to strength. If anything as well it's very cool seeing Krillin actually being the de facto leader of the gang for a while.

I don't think it ultimately come down to strength in the hunt for the DB's on Namek. Gohan and Kuririn were able to get them back and get a few wishes under Vegeta's nose.

Yeah that is true, though the Ginyu force muscled them out of the dragonballs so the possession went to those with the strength. I loved the ballsy move of wishing whilst Vegeta napped.

But that just means they came close. Who gets the wish doesn't come down to muscle. I also thought it was clever but a bit of a "duh!" that the wishes on the Namekian DB's had to be made in Namekian.
