I'm guessing the qualifier would be that it's a team battle the whole time and there's no segment where the fight turns into a one-on-one? Like, Jiren doesn't count because of the big UI Goku vs Jiren part, and Vegeta doesn't count because of the big Goku vs Vegeta part?

I mean, now (after chapter ...

I think it has probably been doing that to some extent, but a lot of it is just coincidental, too. Like with Goku Black as Super Saiyan Rosé having the same palette as that one "Evil Goku" image on DeviantArt that people like to point out, that's just because there are so many "Evil Goku" variations ...

Toriyama definitely wanted to simplify the transformations down to just SS, SSG and SSGSS after Battle of Gods (and eventually UI on top of that I guess). I think that in Toriyama's version of every story since then, Goku and Vegeta never used SS2 or SS3, he always thought of Goku and Vegeta's ...

Is this a hotly debated topic? I always thought it was pretty clearly the first option at least. Grade 3 is monstrously powerful, it's just monstrously slow as well. Trunks was directly stronger than (regular) Perfect Cell, but there's no point in having all the power in the world if you can't hit ...

It seems a bit excessive at first glance, buuut...

AI-generated images provide next to no value on a forum like this. An LLM can't be a fan of something, so it's not fanart and doesn't belong in any of those threads, and news-wise it's gonna be misinformation by default, so that basically only ...

Yeah, they will 100 % label as many projects as they can as belonging to Toriyama in some way for as long as reasonably possible. "From the mind of Akira Toriyama" and so on. As long as there's a note or a draft it can even be "Written by Akira Toriyama". I don't think they'd outright lie, at least ...

So... First off, I don't think it's necessary to make the Black Star Dragon Balls blow up the Earth. The fact that they're powerful enough to turn Goku into a kid against his will should be incentive enough for Goku and co. to go get them, to keep them out of any would-be supervillain's hands. That ...

I do think I'll always enjoy Dragon Ball. Toriyama's manga and the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z (+ Kai to a lesser extent) anime series are very, very easy for me to get back into and instantly have fun with all over again. In the future, I do imagine I'll interact far less with the Dragon Ball ...

Consistency is nice, but I'm not gonna say "never change anything ever", because then the story eventually won't be able to move forward anymore. I guess what's important to me is that if established in-universe rules are broken, I'd like some kind of in-universe justification for it. Like with the ...

Is it just me or did Daima get memory holed almost instantly by the fandom.

It's been a month since it concluded and no one talks about it online much, people have even gotten over the "Is it canon to Super?" debate.

I guess the series making SSJ4 "canon" doesn't mean much since it didn't have ...

If the topic is about what seems the most likely rather than what we personally want, then
They're generally going with the safest, most popular characters to bring back or "make canon" or whatever else, so yeah, I agree that Cooler is a very easy choice. Janemba should be a safe choice too, I feel ...

I have to agree that "They fight Frieza again but he's REALLY really strong this time" isn't a very compelling story arc idea. I know people have been talking about wanting Frieza to team up with a freshly introduced Cooler to make it more interesting and all, but personally I don't think that's the ...

It was nice to read a Super manga chapter again, it sure has been a while. It's not the most important chapter ever, but it was fun enough, and I guess the idea about it rounding off a volume makes sense. There's a couple of interesting bits in the chapter, mainly that I guess Olibu is real now ...

Let's wait and see what happens after next month's Super manga chapter. If the story continues afterwards, which we don't know if it will or not, then yeah, that's what it looks like right now. If the Super manga does continue, though, there's also no guarantee that a Black Frieza arc would start ...

In-universe, I guess he's just been training wrong, whatever he's been doing ever since Namek just hasn't been giving him good results. Kinda like with Future Gohan versus Present Gohan, it's not about training a lot, it's about training right. It's hard to not go into out-of-universe reasons for ...

Just the word "saga"? Not at all. I am Norwegian, though, so that certainly helps. :P But English-speaking Dragon Ball is the first time I've heard "saga" get used in that specific way, to be fair. It caused me a bit of confusion at first, when I was only familiar with the Norwegian "saga" term I ...

I see people call Toriyama just "Akira" decently often. The thing with the Akira movie is most likely just a coincidence, like MasenkoHA says it's not unique to him. I think it's either that people just don't care about the rule (more like guideline) that you're not supposed to address public ...

If you're going the Funimation route, it's okay if you just use Queen Kai instead of King Kai, really. Unless you really need the ambiguity for something. In that case, you can take some liberties and say something along the lines of "Venerable Kai". That or something like "World Overseer" I guess ...

I also think that we shouldn't just have blood for the sake of blood, but that it absolutely has its place and that having no blood at all is weird. A thought crossed my mind though, which is that the blood could just be on its own layer, and then you could have it turned on or off, viewer's choice ...

If you combine the concept of an evil dragon arc with Super, I'm pretty sure one of the dragons should just look exactly like Bulma at this point. Forget negative energy, it's all just Bulma energy. I think images based on that idea would mostly go in the sexy fanart thread instead of this one ...
