Because Dragon Ball is ultimately Goku's story, and it would be near impossible to create a character good enough to fill his shoes.

If they were going to start fresh with new characters, you could argue that it might as well be a new IP, and not Dragon Ball.

Something like Star Wars can pull ...

There's a lot I like regarding the new characters, the art style, the focus on the villains at the beginning. But I admit most of what I came away thinking in regard to this episode was how poorly paced it was. I just could not believe this episode had to be a staggering 32 minutes (and without ...

I'd prefer that actually. I think Super is too popular for that to be the case though.

Honestly, I think I would've preferred if Piccolo tried to get Gohan to realize his potential, only for Gohan to instead cheer him on and let him be the one to win against Cell Max with his Orange form.

As much as I love Gohan using the drill beam, I would have much preferred this. That way we ...

Cute redraw of the Toriyama Cell Max promo illustration for the Chapter.

I knew I saw that somewhere before. Good catch!

Also, I think it's funny that people are quick to call the gigantification thing an "error" when here I was thinking it's already goofy that Piccolo had to be reminded of a ...

One thing stood out to me. I always thought Cell Max was more mechanical than Cell, #17, and #18. I could've sworn he had electrical wiring running through his arm. Maybe I'm misremembering that. Whatever the case, this time Cell Max appears to be a mostly biological creation judging from the blood ...

I'm a bit more positive on this arc. At the very least, it does try to tie itself to the beginning of the Superhero Arc by bringing into focus that the two Androids are deliberately modeled after Goten and Trunks is a fun one.

I mean, I guess next month is going to be the last chapter for this ...

The depiction of women in Dragon Ball is a distraction from the fucking point of the comic.

Don't like it. Don't read it.

You can like something while being disappointed in certain aspects of it. Being a fan and having opinions doesn't require you to be "all-in".


For the record, I LOVE ...

Not going to lie, the fact that Bulma had the GALL to call them 'useless' in the previous chapter, combined with the reveal that she and Chi-Chi grounded them for 6 FREAKING MONTHS, is honestly pissing me off more than it should.

Like, lady... YOU grounded them from doing much of anything ...

Nice! I wouldn't have expected this and yet here we are.

It's been a while since Superhero released and now that the manga is covering the movie, it seems there's a few months left until we get new Super content. I'd wager this is a good time to reflect on Super and rank the arcs from best to worst.

To avoid differing continuities, take your personal ...

I'm not really interested in Toyotaro Dragon Ball. No shade to the guy. He's done some great things on DBS, but looking at his original Dragon Ball doujin and his contributions to the plot of DBS - I don't find what he writes to be compelling.

Maybe my thoughts will change in a few years. He has ...

It's just that damn good and there's nothing like it. That's the short of it. You can read into that what you will. Even nearly 40 years after it was published, it's still special.

Vegeta rarely gets any screentime with other characters besides his family, Goku and sometimes Gohan, but I'd like to see him interact more with Kuririn given their history, as well as Piccolo.

Vegeta and Piccolo would be an interesting one for me. They already have an interesting relationship ...

Easy, I'd officially add demon ki to the mix. It would retcon that ability that demon aligned fighters like Piccolo Daimou have that allows them to keep the souls of those they kill from the afterlife. That would be an aspect of demon ki, but mastery of demon ki would also prevent the soul from ...

I loved it. I'm not sure where people get the feeling that it was filler. I've heard that said several times in the various critiques of those two chapters. There were more invaders than "Z-Fighters" which required to old guard to pitch in to effectively deal with the threats because Goku, the only ...

So, about this chapter...


Dragon Ball Super Chapter 96 Ends with:
• Cell Max coming out
• Cell Max vs Gammas
• Gohan drops Senzu
• Goten and Trunks become Saiyanman and rush towards Cell Max, end.


I hope this arc ends in two chapters. Please.

Probably 2 and a half and maybe the second half ...

Modern Toriyama's art continues to be awful for Dragon Ball, the way they're standing just looks... weird :lol:


They're ducks. I'm quacking up looking at this. No shade to GOATiyama-san but this looks hilarious. Is that the ...

I think this'll all read pretty well when it's finished, and on subsequent passes through Super . It's just rough in real time when it's pushing back new storylines we're all understandably anxious to see.


Agreed. It's a necessary step if they want to make everything more unified.


This ...

The one Kuririn and Trunks killed in Gero's basement. Considering Goku's reasoning for not killing Gero when Trunks came to the past was that he hadn't done anything bad yet, wouldn't the same be true for Cell?

I don't think so he would have wanted to kill larval Cell. I'm not sure if he would ...
