Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Well, that explains why the Cell and Boo Sagas felt so disjointed to me. Honestly, if Toriyama was feeling like that, maybe it would've been better to end the show after Freeza or Cell, I don't know why he kept going. And it pretty much sums up all of Super to me, "Did this really have to exis...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Yeah, if they were willing to go past the original story's ending they probably would have done that in the first place. Yeah all the arcs in Super could've easily taken place after EoZ with minor changes if there was any intention to go past it. Toriyama mentioned the characters being too old a fe...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Now, what exactly is the DB revival's end point? The End of Z? Are they planning to revisit GT or make entirely new content past that point? They have certainly made statements that they do want to continue the story past that point, so when exactly does it end? Are we even in the mid-point yet? Ar...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

So basically the problem with the Super anime is that it was just so popular and successful that it overshadowed every other product? I can't say I'm surprised. I'm not sure if that's a reason. I don't know how licensing works exactly but OP and JJK are also owned by Shuiesha and had movies grossin...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

Yeah okay but didn't Toyotarou put in little hints that the story might go beyond end of Z at some point? I think the only time Toyotaro mentioned EoZ was when he said Super would eventually connect to the original ending. I imagine future volumes won't sell as much since it'll be all Toyotaro and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Without Its Creator

I think at most we'll get is a miniseries or occasional anniversary movie without Toriyama. There was less content overall in the ten years of the revival compared to the original series run. It was successful for a legacy series but it's unlikely the movies would've grossed as much or manga sold as...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

You'll find no shortage of people online arguing it wasn't good writing in Toriyama's manga either. I'd say they're missing the point. Broadly speaking, there's no such thing as some grand, final "payoff" for Gohan's strength. There are individual payoffs in each arc, but the whole subtex...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

It wasn't just the Buu saga but Gohan never had another rage boost throughout Super despite all the times the Earth or universe was in danger. Likely the only reason he had one in Super Hero was because Toriyama was convinced to give him a bigger role and probably couldn't think if anything else. Im...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Goku was questioning why Vegeta was mediating to GET stronger because Goku knows physical training is what gets him stronger and wins him fights at the end of the day, he said in the movie "Your body is gonna get soft if you atleast don't move it around a little". That's the dub, don't re...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

I wonder if this will be like the ending of the Moro arc with 73 surviving. I remember some fans thinking he would be the main villain but he didn't last long and only used to transition to the next arc. I'm not sure how the RR army could be a threat without Hedo unless they have another relative of...

Re: A rebuttal to the defense of the Zamasu arc ending

So Trunks ironically caused his own demise. This is karma for abusing time travel. In fiction, there MUST be consequences. You can't just hop around timelines, change history, alter the natural course of the world, and then get away scots-free. There are stories involving time travel and don't resu...

Re: When do you think the Super anime is returning? Should I read the manga while waiting for the anime?

Maybe possibly. But if that is actually true then they will soon have enough material for a good 2 years worth of a weekly TV show to cover anyway, assuming that Moro+Granolah is around 25 chapters each, 10 for Super Hero, around 10 for Broly readaptation and then some 3rd major arc around 25-30 ch...

Yes I'm joking, I'm talking about the way he writes the story is like modern shonen with the way he wrote Vegeta and Ultra Instinct, your talking about ONE character.

I would accuse him of being inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. I can't tell if you're joking. You're saying you would only do that if Toyotaro came up with Jiren? As in you're only looking to compare it to another shonen when Toyotaro is writing? And i would love it. You know, i have...
