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

I must agree with Mr Baggins here. Toriyama can’t be replicated and it’s all been too clear each and every time he hasn’t directly supervised works based on his characters and worlds. For me, Dragon Ball will unfortunately be over once Daima ends, or at the very best once the latest movie written by...

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

I'm actually surprised people are saying Black Freeza is just another recolor with no narrative or characterization involved whatsoever. People can't see beyond forms or PAWA REVERUSU anymore, huh? Freeza has actually put in the work a footsoldier does... for ten years... and when he was called int...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

There will be. Like Devil Goku, or something. Interesting. But what if that will be, again, Vegeta? This seems to be taking something from GT. And with the scenes of Majin Vegeta at the beginning, it may be the case that he falls prey of some other magic. I can’t see Goku ever having a “Evil” form,...

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

The next manga arc, if there will be one, will likely be a continuation of the Black Freeza storyline. I think this is unlikely, mostly because there is no Black Freeza "storyline"... its just a new color for an old character. I guess I also expect the Super "brand" to end at is...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga

:twisted: The Anime has higher highs, but way lower lows. Episodes 39, 56, 66, 94, 95, 110, 130, and 131 are standouts in their respective saga's that surpass their respective equivalents in the Manga, but overall I would say the manga is better, and certainly feels more in-line character wise with ...

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

So when the Superhero arc is over in the manga, does anyone think Daima may be the next arc? I'm just thinking it could potentially be unless it's a completely new thing. Dragon Ball Daima is a new serie, so they would have to release a new manga. But with the anime releasing in a year, they wouldn...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I wonder if there will be transformations? I don’t think they will keep it simple as that, especially considering how we come from Broly and Super Hero which had a lot of fanservice in that regards. Though I wouldn’t mind it at all if in this series both Goku and Vegeta were to only fight in their b...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

In the end this is gonna have great animation and people will stop whining. Just like when they "rehashed" Broly and everyone whined at the announcement, but look where we are now. The only problem is the plot STILL being before EoZ for some dumb, unfoudned reason. This kind of story shou...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 96 - Official Discussion Thread

Aside from the admittedly cool-looking shot of Cell Max emerging, I wasn't really amazed that much by this chapter. Toyotaro's art may be good and while it is at least nice to have some 'new' DB content, I still feel mostly the same about this arc being something that could have been skipped. I onl...

Re: Potential Future Arcs

I think that before Super ends they will explore the following: - Vegeta (and maybe Goku and Broly too) going to Sadala, either in a dedicated arc or as part of one - The Demon from Universe 11 who killed Jiren’s parents and his master / Demons in general, potentially connected to Gohan’s new Beast ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread

People are reading way too much into the Broly recap if they think it's trying to imply events happened differently in the manga. Story beats are depicted the same as in the film; Goku and Vegeta still look like they start out taking turns in the fight. The main difference is in clothing/appearance...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread

This chapter was bad. It’s sad because so far I was really enjoying the adaptation of this arc. Yet this time around Toyotaro felt the need to: - Change Broly’s movie making it very confusing what exactly happened there in the manga - Make Goku still dumb despite “fixing” the meditation line. The mo...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

It’s weird that it took them this long to do a new Budokai Tenkaichi. The name alone will make them a lot of money. Maybe they will also decide to do a Budokai 4 afterwards? Though Dimps is likely at work on a Xenoverse 3. I bet this one is being developed by Spike Chunsoft. Maybe they started devel...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

This is awesome, I can’t believe they are finally doing it and graphically it’s looking gorgeous. I just hope that gameplay-wise it will be like BT3, without any major changes besides new combos and stuff. As for character count I don’t really care if some minor characters do not make it into the ga...

Interesting how, when the arc started, Elec was immediately praised for being "cunning" and "manipulative", making him "unique" amongst DB villains... but in the end, he didn't really achieve anything of note. On top of that, it was revealed that Frieza had been manipu...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I don’t understand “True Ultra Instinct”. Is he just fighting more aggressively? Didn’t he try that with Moro and fail miserably? How has remembering Bardock somehow improved his Ultra Instinct? I’m very confused. :lol: Toyotaro tends to overly explain everything that happens in this manga. The onl...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Fitting ending. Finally this arc is over. I have actually liked it for what it is, but it’s definitely no masterpiece. Very mid, with some very great highs here and there. This chapter had some, for me. I enjoyed it. First, Freeza’s appearance, although unexpected, was foreshadowed many times. Heck,...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

If that Orange Piccolo is not the illustration which Toriyama initially handed the anime staff, I guess that originally Toriyama drew Ultimate and Orange Piccolo with the black belt, and now he has forgotten about that detail for this drawing.

I doubt that it was Toei’s decision.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

He's consistently in the top 5, so I don't see that changing much. There's a chance he could overtake Gohan, but I don't think he will. The two of them will likely stay ranked #4 and #5 or one may solidify the #3 spot. I don't think they'll ever beat Goku and Vegeta, at least not in the near future...
