Toriyama's DragonBall has a distinct tone, I have not seen anyone replicate this tone so far. DragonBall isn't fun without this particular feeling.
As things stands right now, if nothing changes DragonBall's popularity will decrease over time, until the series stops being profitable altogether.

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
I didn't expect such a news today.
Nobody can capture the essence of DragonBall like it's creator could, for me Toriyama was DragonBall.
Thank you for bringing such a wonderful series into existence.

Re: If you could fuse any shonen manga with DB, which one would it be?
If it has to be shonen manga then only Saitama from one punch man will be certain to hold his own infront of frequent power escalations..
If LN's can be considered as well, that would open up a whole new set of characters capable of causing waves in DB world..

Re: Anime adaptation of the Broly movie: is it necessary?
Anime adaptation would be good if some plot points could be expanded upon, considering the chance of a more seemingly full version of the same story, a retelling sounds nice!

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"
So you think Roshi dodging Jiren or even going up against Frost in the anime makes sense? Not the point, characters can be given attention, and it can be done in an acceptable way is my argument, nobody is done for good until and unless current artificial limitations are to be taken literally, whic...

More like that sweat is because Piccolo is trying hard to sense Gohan's weak arse power level after entering nerd mode again. :lol: Hey, at least he can switch back from his nerd mode, Piccolo's permanently stuck at that nerfed mode :P So what do you think is Gohan's excuse this time?

Piccolo is sweating in the trailer so I hope he has been asked to do something unexpected like train to become the next God of Destruction as Beerus wants to retire just like Belmond for some reason. Long time no see man :) I'll cut to the chase and say he simply sensed Freeza coming back and that'...

Still, if I were a Gohan fan I think I'd prefer that to him showing up mostly to get pooped on like he did in RoF.. Don't know about other Gohan fans, but this one prefers his favorite doesn't show up to get pooped on.. Gohan has had his fair share of moments in TOP and against Broly(old), don't mi...

Re: Toyotaro needs to be let go/fired
I am not sure where all this negativity is coming from, has the entire fandom taken a dislike to the manga suddenly or are people who like the manga simply not willing to participate anymore? Like it is for me.. The manga is by far the only thing with super's name attached that I like, and would ver...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Episode director confirmed that not only was SSBE anime only, as well as the context behind it, but also that strength wise its basically the anime's equivalent to Goku's blue Kaio-ken. That's a shocker. Not. Seemed obvious it was done to equal Vegeta to Goku for a short time, but it's nice to have...
