Re: How's Toriyama doing these days?

Are there any English versions or translations of it? And have you read it? I own the book, so I have read it in Japanese, but I don't know if there has been a proper English translation so far. I remember two interesting things from the script. 1) Frieza's hell is described as a flower field surro...

Re: How's Toriyama doing these days?

I just remembered something in a Kanzenshuu article or podcast from around the time the movie came out about Toriyama's script being available for people who went to a Japanese screening of it and they were talking about wanting to get their hands on it. I've tried to find more info on this or see ...

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

I don't know why they choose to retell Super Hero, but not the Broly movie? I think it's because the manga is at a different state currently comparing to 2018. Back then, the anime was over, the Broly movie came and it did make sense for the manga to do something new to be ahead with the content. I...

Re: Episode #0497 (29 January 2023)

Nice podcast about this DLC :) Something interesting you briefly touched on is this whole "expanded lore" thing, the base game started out with. The Trunks DLC then went adapting the anime special and the flashback from Toyo in the Super manga. Both with extra scenes, missions, NPC and so ...

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

Isn't the DBS manga supposed to have this cool and scary new arc that the SDBH author is going to assist Toyotaro with? No, that was just a rumor. So far there's nothing confirmed for DBS manga beyond the current arc. Who started it? Last summer some fan used Google Translate to create a fake Toyot...

Re: Where do the dragons go?

I like to think there's some kind of a Dragon Realm where they live. We saw one in Dragon Ball Heroes and Toyotarou's used this concept in his DBAF fanmanga. Wait, we did? When did that happen? And what does it look like? In DBH Victory Mission Chapter 27 we see a location called "Evil Dragon ...

Re: Granolah Arc Discussion and Open Questions

1. Given that Granolah was stuck on Planet Cereal alongside Monaito and the Sugarians, he somehow managed to become a child hitman who took out targets before Elec and Gas came to recruit him; how did he managed to do so? Monaito never supplied him with a spaceship and piloting skills nor targets a...

Re: Episode #0494 (27 November 2022)

Overall a pretty cool arc. And quite different to previous ones. Interesting new lore and the Heeters are a great addition as well. I liked that Dragon Ball finally got longer flashbacks (found the Trunks and Moro one we had in DBS so far could have been longer😄). Maybe I'm too much influenced by On...

Re: Was Toyotaro left in the dark regarding "Super Hero" or was it a ruse?

Starting in with Olibu's drawing in his side project ("Toyotaro Drew It") in March of 2021, and up to the point Pikkon's drawing was released in that year's July, with the rest of the fighters from the Grand Kai's Planet tossed into it all at once, it felt as if Toyotaro was hinting that ...

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

About the timeframe when the Saiyan attack on Cereal happened: Both 40 and 50 years ago have been mentioned a few times.. And I think both are just rounded numbers which we shouldn't take too exactly. I agree that it is confusing as it's inconsistent. But if we talk about past events in real life, w...

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

I think Vegeta's Gamma Burst Flash also made it from manga-only into games. These things are quite rare. But still, adapting the manga version of the Buu arc in Trunks' future was something nobody saw coming and a nice surprise. (would have also been nice as a TV special^^). I also agree that with M...

So Cooler looked glassy which caused Hearts to ask if he knew Laggs, could she be alive? I thought Piccolo and 17 killed her? In the Universe Mission manga, Majin Ozotto kinda absorbed her and her glass power. Not sure where this is leading, but we might see her again, who knows.. And when is Cell ...

We can't say for sure that "Toyotaro just draws", as you put it. My copies of the manga volumes always state: ART BY - Toyotarou STORY BY - Akira Toriyama You're suggesting maybe it's more complex than that? As for the Japanese volumes it's like this: 原作 (gensaku) = "original work&qu...

Re: Where were Abo and Kado during Resurrection F?

Actually as of now, we don't really know whether the events of the 2008 special are still part of the current DBS continuity. The BoG refers to Vegeta's brother Tarble, but the DBS anime/manga doesn't. However, interestingly, Tarble is mentioned in the DBS Broly movie. But whether the events from th...

Re: When Will We Ever Get Out of the Boo Fight - End of Z Rift?!

The thing is, with previous Dragon Ball series we were used that there always had to be a multi-year time skip to the next arc. Was is it the three years between the tournaments, 5 years to the start of Z, one year to the Saiyans, three years to the Androids or the seven years to Buu. Personally I d...

Re: Moori, Esca and Polunga

Yeah, that's exactly what it looks like.
Either Moori transferred the Polungas power to Esca or he died after the wishes were made.
I don't expect any plot hole here, Toyotarou will give us an explanation soon.
