The other point was that none of the these characters had to be written as fodder in the first place.

This is an 80 character battle royale, if a character isn't going to do anything relevant or interesting, or be involved in any relevant or interesting conflicts, then it makes sense to remove those characters from the story to focus on bigger and more exciting events.
P.S: Freeza's is actually far better in the manga and the pros far outwiegh any cons.

Re: Super's Manga vs Super's Anime Discussion
Krillin was not here to be important. He was here to represent the humans in universe 7 and to have minor story impact. He has already affected the story, and I predict that Roshi will be the main human in the tournament, so he will likely serve his purpose. How can characters who are astronomically weaker than the all of the relevant characters not be fodder? It would be a bigger betrayal of the narrative if Krillin got 5+ eliminations or helped fight Jiren.blain218 wrote:I said its a bad decision from a writing standpoint, not an in-universe one (though its that too when you logically brake it down).

It doesn't take much time or space to establish at least half of the ToP characters as a relevant challenge. Hell, the Dark Tournament arc of Yu Yu Hakusho manage to accomplish exactly that yet people in this thread are acting like thats impossible.

The dark tournament had a completely different layout that gave them the opportunity to flesh out those character, and the only characters that were particularly developed were the major antagonists that our protagonists whom went up against, and I would say that some of which were definitely developed worse than others.blain218 wrote:You think Freeza making such a stupid decision in the manga makes him potrayed better than in the anime?

The setting of the TOP doesn't afford those same luxuries by its very nature. Its far too chaotic a setting to allow the characters to sit down and talk about there personal backstories, because if characters don't continuously move, they'll be knocked out by another fighter looking for that kind of opening. Therefore, leaving key development and characterization to only major characters who will have an impact on the tournament is probably the best route to take.
- Two reasons
I'll give you three reasons why Freeza's plan was beneficial in the manga.
-It allowed Freeza to easily dispatch an opponent that could have proven problematic, or troublesome later down the line, using a minimun amount of stamina.
-It elminated a huge number of potentially annoying opponents.
-It saved Freeza and his powerful team mates the trouble of wasting their stamina fighting those potentially annoying opponents early on.
Re: Super's Manga vs Super's Anime Discussion
SSB only seems stronger in the manga because they severly nerf all the villains compared to the anime. It doesn't make SSB look good, it makes all the antagonist look like jokes, especially Hit, Black and Merged Zamasu.buutenks wrote:Considering how the anime ToP is. There is 0 chance Toyo can make it worse. For me, i found the manga versions of each Super arc as better.
For example, seeing 17 duking it out with ssj3 Goku felt very impressive. While his fight with blue Goku in the anime, didnt feel all that impressive. The manga made ssj blue to be very impressive and it makes me feel that it is extremely powerful. Anime, lol, makes me laugh.
Anime Goku Black is better, hands down, no contest, but the BS of the arc itself cannot be saved just by one char, so the manga wins in my opinion.
17 vs SSJ3 Goku isn't impressive at all when you know that Goku is massively holding back. Whereas in the anime 17 forces Goku to nearly go all out, that is actually impressive.
The manga version of the Goku Black arc is clearly worse than the anime in nearly every way and not just in the portrayal of Black.

So you would dismiss everything that makes a story aesthetically engaging just for a more structured narrative? That has extremely bad taste written all over it. Characters are what carry a story. When you devalue the characters you devalue the story. Giving the characters more development and interactions increases the quality of the work in general, which is why the anime version of the Black arc is vastly superior to its manga version for example and modern dramas like Game of Thones and Breaking Bad are so appealingHawk9211 wrote: Overall, the anime version is simply poorly thought out and poorly structured. The craftsmanship of the narrative is absolutely amateurish, and there's no way that the assembly-line nature of its creation, with too many cooks in the kitchen, isn't a large contributing factor.

It might be more "fun", and more "epic", and more "entertaining", and have more "interactions", but none of those are constitutive of, or sufficient substitutes for, a structurally sound narrative.
And whats with all these ridiculous complaints about characters "regressing" in the anime? Characters doing what they normally do isn't "regression", that's just consistent writing. And just because a character doesn't "change" doesn't mean they don't develop.

If anything, it makes just as much sense, because instead of trying to receive his vengance on the Saiyans, he instead works with them to ensure universe 7's victory. The character arc for the character is still very much there, though I will say, its different from the anime, as instead of giving up on power, he needs to instead give up on his desire for revenge.

Re: Super's Manga vs Super's Anime Discussion
It makes less sense because Freeza has already fucked over his team, and some of the main cast are fully aware of it. If the endgame is that Freeza is brought back to life because of how well he performed in Universe 7, then it's not going to feel earned because he already unnecessarily crippled his teams chances of winning.JazzMazz wrote:How does it make less sense?Lord Beerus wrote:Considering what the endgame is for Freeza in the Tournament Of Power, what he's doing in the manga makes even less sense from a narrative and an in-universe perspective.

Re: Super's Manga vs Super's Anime Discussion
But it's his characters to mess with. Let the writer do what he wants with these characters. I felt tension because they were getting eliminated pretty quickly as if the Universe 7 was really in danger. It was very unexpected imo, thinking at first they'd be able to hold their own like in the anime.Whatever wrote: That really does not work,getting rid of the 2 weakest characters of the team first does not crease 'tension' in any way.
Same goes if roshi,18 or Piccolo were eliminated first.
The 'no one is safe' does not work unless one of the strongest of the team fall victim to it.Also Krillin and Tien's elimination effects nothing since they did nothing,they were useless and a waste of space.
Also Toyotaro is not avoiding fanservice at all,he just gives fanservice to the characters he likes(i mean lets be real you can expect Vegeta to get better fanservice moments than the anime since he is Toyotaro's pet character).
Can't wait for Vegeta using the Omega Burst Flash on a 1vs3 against the 3 strongest Pride Troopers,eliminating Toppo and Dyspo while he loses to Jiren only because Vegeta was only 1/10 of his power the entire time.
I don't see the manga fan pandering as much as the anime. Sure it may have a small homage in a panel but the anime goes out of their way to recreate moments we've already seen and it's getting annoying. Especially the scene at the end of the show with Goku and Vegeta. Kale, although I like her character and friendship with Caulfila, is the worst offender of shameless fan service.
Favoritism and Fanservice are two different things. And I'll never understand why people keep claiming Vegeta is Toyotaro's pet. Goku was already established as his favorite character, but he's trying to be a smart writer by avoiding him steal the show like in the anime. Even in the First Chapter of the ToP, he shows off Androids 17 and 18 getting eliminations as opposed to Goku and Vegeta bashing other competitors immediately. He even has Frieza be the first one to eliminate a whole universe. Vegeta barely got his fight in the God of Destruction Arc in the manga. And whats wrong with giving Vegeta new moves? You sound as if you;re upset because your characters are not being used the way you want them to be used. I'm not trying to say you're wrong for feeling that way, but don't make such accusations like that because you're angry over other characters "not doing enough."
I mean he increased his chances of winning by removing two of his teammates (three if you count Frost) in favor of getting rid of 11 other fighters and conserving the rest of his team's stamina for fights in later chapters. It leads to them being more capable of handling stronger opponents in the long run. It's a step in the right direction of fixing the stamina problem that occured in the anime version of the ToP.Lord Beerus wrote:It makes less sense because Freeza has already fucked over his team, and some of the main cast are fully aware of it.

Re: Super's Manga vs Super's Anime Discussion
He didn't cripple his team. He's being pragmatic about victory in the hopes of saving his universe and being revived, which is all he wound up really wanting to do in the anime in the end. (The long-teased attempt to overthrow the gods amounted to nothing, and he showed no initiative to become an MVP player, which just makes that a baffling aside; what his sneaking around is consistent with is generally playing to the survival elements.)Lord Beerus wrote:It makes less sense because Freeza has already fucked over his team, and some of the main cast are fully aware of it. If the endgame is that Freeza is brought back to life because of how well he performed in Universe 7, then it's not going to feel earned because he already unnecessarily crippled his teams chances of winning.
There's a bit of a meanstreak to the way he goes about it, but in the latest chapter he trades the team's two weakest two of the team's fighters for the defeat of an entire universe and one of the tournament's other stronger competitors (Frost) at the expense of absolutely no energy from the important players on his team. That he steps in just before Gohan is forced to go all out, and is so terse with Piccolo about it being a do-or-die survival match drives home that we're meant to see this in terms of him keeping his eyes on a team victory, however callous he needs to be. He traded two pawns for a much bigger gain, because he's the only member of his team who's enough of an asshole to envision a strategy in terms of more and less valuable members.
He's not going to not be a dick, but if he shows up at the end and gets rewarded for it, I don't think anything in this version is going to feel incongruous with itself.

Nothing is wrong with Vegeta getting a new move,the problem is Vegeta getting a new move that is another generic ki blast that obliterates 2 opponents he could not 1vs1 a few seconds ago while battle damaged.
The problem is Toyotaro not using the cast correctly and him showing needless favouritism to Vegeta to the point it hurts the narrative of the story.
So he is not being a smart writer or anything,he is a fan who became a manga author who follows Toriyama's outline while shoving as much fanservice for his favourite character when he can.
