Re: Toriyama's UI design.

It seems a lot of people are mad about the new design and think he has regressed. But,are we forgetting about previous and how simple were the design's of ssj1,grades and ssj2.They even make a joke about no difference between ssj1 and ssj2. The issue is that the art itself is clearly just a redraw ...

Re: Goku Black observations

I was wondering your thoughts on these two observations . If these were already pointed out, let me know. 1. Goku Black is darker complected than Goku. Do you think he’s meant to represent Dragon Ball GT given GT’s general unpopularity? Goku was similarly tanned in GT. Or do you think I’m just look...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Except they've been fighting Jiren since Episode 122. So? They've been fighting Freeza for some time before Goku turned SSJ and they still had a proper long battle after that, they've been fighting Cell for some time, before Gohan started fighting him and some more before he turned SSJ2 and we had ...

Re: Does Dragon Ball even feel like a story anymore?

If you watch Super directly after watching the Buu saga, then no it doesn't feel like it flows perfectly. All the building up of Gohan, Trunks, Goten in the Buu arc is suddenly gone and Goku gets this God power out of nowhere. That happens in the Buu Saga itself though, especially when they don't b...

Re: Where will new stories go after Ultra Instinct?

I'm fully convinced that the best course of action would be to completely disregard/undo this entire arc, because it is now almost impossible to create a compelling antagonist or obstacle for Goku unless it has nothing to do with fighting. If the series is still pretending like it's going to lead i...

Re: Does Dragon Ball even feel like a story anymore?

This is all part of Dragonballs revival. Everything from the Beerus movie in 2013 till now is all part of the same thing. It doesn't matter that it happened 2 years before Super came out, it's all part of Dragonball's revival. Same reason Super adapted the two movies into episodes. People will alwa...

Hm... The humans being the weakest ones and a waste of a spot in the team comes up a couple of times in the chapter.

Re: Has Yamamuro Saved Ultra Instinct?

The main issue with DB Minus is that it's too short to be a proper story, but clashes with the previous full story Bardock got. I don't think "DB Minus on a larger scale" makes sense, since its small scale is exactly the issue with it. That's why I said "quality", DB Minus was b...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

It doesn't really mesh well with how Toyotaro introduced him, when he said he's not going to take part in anyone's downfall but only ensure U11's survival. I hated that version anyway, though, so it's no deal breaker for me. The clown did said that Jiren would drop his principles for the chance at ...

Re: Has Yamamuro Saved Ultra Instinct?

I wouldn't be surprised if he didnt even make a design but instead told them to take his old design and give it white hair. It was redrawn. If you look at the images side by side, you can see some lines are slightly different. Toriyama likely did pretty much trace over his old drawing though, only ...

Re: What happened to this version?

I think there was a V Jump scan about the upcoming manga volume that included small shots of that trailer again. I guess the full drawings might end up as extras in the upcoming volume?

Re: Does Dragon Ball even feel like a story anymore?

I think what hurts Super is that Toriyama isn't writing it week by week reacting to other people and his own impression of his work, so he doesn't write the arc outlines with the same intention of gripping the audience chapter by chapter like what would happen with a manga. I definitely disagree wit...

Re: Dragon Ball Super restricts itself too much

Toriyama always suffered from that issue. Roshi was supposed to be the strongest martial artist, and Goku already came close to beating him in the 21st Budokai. Then by the 23rd Budokai he was stronger than God and the Devil. So, we go to aliens... but we're immediately introduce to Vegeta, who's th...

Re: "(Super) Dragon Ball Heroes" Official Discussion Thread

With Blue no longer the strongest current form do you think they will/should start giving it to other characters? I mean, there's still quite a few ones I hope get Super Saiyan 4 first, mainly Vegetto, Future Trunks and Gotenks, but it's not like they can't start alternating them. Also, speaking of...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

I'm not really seeing the point of Goku getting a new hair color with Mastered Ultra Instinct. Not only we get a another hair color, but also complicates things because Ultra Instinct isn't only for Saiyans. I don't think it really complicates things. If anything, giving it an overall gray/white th...

Considering the hair style, it should be Super Trunks. He's the only one with SSJ hair that keeps the large front bangs down like that (well, aside from long hair Trunks).

Re: What events in ToP seem like Anime exclusive?

I'm pretty sure God of Destruction Toppo is anime-only. He already used God Ki in the manga and there was no visual change. He also seems to have a delay before being added to Heroes which is very typical for Toei created elements, compared to outline ones. In general though, considering the length ...

[ There are 80 warriors because there are 8 teams with 10 warriors, but I think the idea that every elimination or battle needs to be shown is a mistake.
