Re: Will they label the brand-new projects as one of Toriyama's last works for commercial reasons even if that's not tru

Toei originally marketed Kamen Rider Kuuga as Shotaro Ishinomori's last work, even though he was only involved with pre-production at a time where it was nothing like what ended up on screen. I'm pretty sure we'll see them using Toriyama's name for anything he was remotely involved with, doesn't ...

Re: Why are we still stuck in the "10 years" period?


Daima might be treated as a separate continuity from the other two, and allow Capsule Corp. Tokyo do its own Dragon Ball stuff going forward. Specifically in a way where they don't have to adhere to/address Super's content and get in trouble with Shueisha or whatever.


Shuesha co-owns the ...

Re: Deciphering Toriyama's DBS


In the manga they can't even transform twice without losing 90% of their power and they can't even use their full power for more than a moment. It definitely makes RoF and the whole Golden Freeza thing very silly.


Even in the anime though, Goku had the line about wanting to save energy against ...

Re: MUi, UE, Broly, Beast & Orange Piccolo vs Black Frieza is this the ending we are heading to?

I really doubt Toriyama was moving things towards killing off Freeza. There probably would be a story where he had focus, but he might not even be the main villain, like how although he was an antagonist in Broly he wasn't the big main opponent so didn't get killed off. Although without Toriyama who ...

I liked the episode overall, so is Super just not part of this continuity?

Of course it isn't. It's not like they've shown characters and lore introduced in Super... /s

Re: The REAL reason people dont forgive GT for "Plot Holes" when they do for OG and Z

I think GT's hate in large part is just due to how it shafted almost everyone. If it had given Piccolo, Gohan and the others new transformations it probably would never have been heavily hated in the first place. Even Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta is basically only loved for its very concept, because in the ...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

I think a new Tournament of Power could work easily enough and stand out from its predecessor if it has some kind of villain subplot going on within it, like Piccolo Jr in the 23rd Budokai, or the kind of stuff you often saw in stories of old fighting games, like someone using the fighters' energy ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

I actually bought Kakarot just due to this 23rd Budokai DLC and its first confirmed details (like playable Tenshinhan). Although I guess now I'm waiting to see if he will also be playable in the main game to decide whether I start playing the main story now or wait for the DLC release.

Re: Why has DB gone so crazy with new forms?



It's because ratings go through the roof when there is a new transformation and toys with new transformations sell well. They're just giving the people what they want.


They can do the same without all that though, they sold DBZ merch for years when no new series were being produced.

Re: Is there any reason why the Moro arc hasn't gotten any merchandise yet?

At least as far as games or any voiced content goes (and even colored content too to a lesser extent), they're probably only going ahead once there's an adaptation. They probably don't want a Jojo situation where the games and merchandising give colors and voices to characters that then clash with ...

If we do move to EOZ I'll be so mad if Trunks and Goten still don't fight. When they are adults there's no reason to keep them out of the action, they better be involved in the next arc in some way since they refused to do anything with them as kids.

I wonder how long it'll take before Moro shows up and starts copying everyone he can get his hands on.

I could see him copying someone that might help him control his angel powers...somehow.

I'd guess they only will add Moro when the anime returns and adapts him or if it turns out Toei confirms ...

I don't know why he's doing all this buildup to MUI when we've already seen it. This is like building up Goku going Super Saiyan against Android 19.
