Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

They're also significantly shorter than theatrical releases Funny tho how they're both the most beloved and influental pieces of the franchise outside the main manga/anime, far eclipsing the legacy of the movies. Future Trunks special is one thing, you could say it was just adapting the incredible b...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Was the footage that we saw in October just made for the teaser trailer? From what we know (via reliable community folks) the pilot was done ages ago and quite a lot of eps finished already after that, hence not all footage in the trailer is exclusively just from ep1/the pilot (although the majorit...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

That's interesting about the Asgard arc, I haven't ever seen any Saint Seiya (minus the first episode; I watched the first episode from various anime for every year 1961+ a few years ago to get a feel for the history of anime, the trends of each decade and the development of the medium. I did the s...

Re: Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?

It's fun to imagine the sort of excuse he might come up with for not giving Shallot one, if he indeed had a hardline anti-tail agenda. "Shallot lost his tail in battle. This depicts him before it grew back. (laughs)" We need to turn this into a spinoff doujinshi "101 ways to not draw...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

Overall anime fans are fixated on 'filler' much less than they used to be, mainly because anime nowadays tend to be only 12-25 episodes long and so anime-original content is either absent or much briefer in nature. The hatred for filler and the fixation on it seems more like an 80s and 90s thing, m...

For whatever it might be worth, he gave Shallot a tail in his character design: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJGKlsCWYAEUKqU?format=png&name=small Being an ancient Saiyan, it makes sense that he'd have a tail. So I guess there's precedent for modern Toriyama sucking it up and drawing a tail on a...

Re: How does Moros absorption work?

He wouldn't get UI right? He only got that from Meerus using 7 3's ability and even then only because angels have it inherently right? Well he did absorb 73's copied abilities so going with that logic he should be able to absorb the abilities of whoever else he consumed I was disappointed that this...

Impossible for the Future Trunks arc. The Dragon Room was established on June 2016, by which point the Future Trunks arc had already started airing on Toei's Anime. https://www.kanzenshuu.com/2016/10/14/shueisha-establishes-new-dragon-ball-room-initiative-support-future-content/ And we know that To...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

Future Trunks, Broly, and 90% of BoG were Toyotaro's ideas? That's completely new to me, I have never heard of this before. The pitches/general ideas for Future Trunks & Broly getting brought into new canon came from the Dragon Room. Toriyama agreed and turned them into napkin outlines. Same as...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

but ultimately it's far more likely that the Granolah arc was Toyotaro's original idea, not Toriyama So like Future Trunks saga, Broly and 90% of BOG. The misconception is thinking that the Anime was an adaptation of the Toyotaro Manga It's not a misconception as nobody thinks that and the fact tha...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

Dragon Ball is a show that is just not working in a usual 26/52 episode seasons/year. It needs to go continously like Naruto/Boruto or One Piece, the lore, the "epicness" can't be contained into seasons.. There's only a little problem with that: DB Fans hate "filler" (or non-Tor...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

I doubt the Heroes' staff need to check everything with Toriyama first, or lack the agency to name a background character because Toriyama might want to do that himself down the line. I also don't think the guys producing Heroes receive corrections on their designs, or need to make room for Toriyam...

Re: Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?

Lack of a tail may just be Toriyama's stylistic preference nowadays, just like his stick-figures physique infatuation is. I don't agree with either but not surprised to see it happening again really at this point, it is what it is :| :problem:

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

It's just not very Dragonball to have a wise, reasoned, good-natured character who infallibly acts in everyone else's interest. True and characters like that most of the time work in supporting/mentor roles best anyway. But at the same time, is it very Dragonball to have a bumbling, mentally challe...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

Toei's Super Dragon Ball Heroes is the Anime equivalent to Toyotaro's Moro and Granolah arcs. Simple. What all these storylines have in common is that they were not penned by Toriyama. Toriyama is credited with penning the draft story outline for the Granolah arc , which is just the same as what he...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?

This, I believe this. And there's nothing wrong with it and it DOESN'T discredit Toriyama's skills in any way, nor undermines his talent. Which is something that often gets skewed or ommited in discussions like this. There's that underlying tone that working with a feedback (or accepting any if it)...
