Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I wonder why Toriyama had such a big soft spot for Shin. Because the Kais in general are a unique race in this setting. Unlike the average, they trade brute strength for technique, finesse, and hax, on top of having intriguing lore as the overseers of the Universe who live in their own special real...

Re: The reason Goku stayed dead that no one talks about
So Goku is basically the Saviour who "died for our sins"? The Cell saga is so funny, it's not even Dragon Ball. It's Naruto. So edgy, corny, melodramatic, and sanctimonious that saga is. Boy am I glad that Super has nothing in common with the Cell saga! If Goku is supposed to be a true neu...

Re: If Zamasu came back
I mean, Zamasu was granted Invinicibility by a set of Dragon Balls that can allegedly grant any wish imaginable. Are we really supposed to believe that Zamasu is gone-gone? It feels like he could come back at any moment with the excuse "Oh Zeno can't over-ride the Super Dragon Balls after all&q...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
What we are missing right now is an ORIGINAL villain. A newly-arrived villain that we know nothing about, like Black in 2016 and Moro in 2019. That invites speculation and tension. Frieza is neither original nor unique, as everything about him was already answered 30 years ago. I agree with this, t...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
I think it's the lack of stakes in the franchise, + we got an ungodly amount of powerful good guys now, yet no new villains to pose them a threat. Super is currently in a weird state where only Black Frieza is the remaining villain, and even he now spares the good guys instead of killing them, so t...

Re: Losing interest in Dragon Ball
I noticed in other sites some people are quiting Dragon Ball. Basically they are leaving the forum and no longer interested Dragon Ball anymore. That's been happening since 2019, after the Super Anime and Broly Movie ended. Why are we dancing around the obvious truth? Love it or hate it, the Super ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
"From Beast level to SSJ level." Lol Broly was never on Beast Gohan's level. Broly didn't face Gohan at full power but with "some gas left in the tank." Considering that the process of Gohan using the maximum amount of power that he can use before going Berserk with Beast seems ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
And yet, in the Tournament of Power, Vegeta sacrifices himself for Goku, recognizing Goku as the only one who can defeat Jiren and "trenspass into the domain of the Gods". Yes, because Goku's upbringing and training leads him to be better attuned to achieve and master UI, Vegeta and other...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Give Freeza the same half-century training with several gods Goku got and he'd have to fuse with Beerus to beat him. Actually, No, because there is no evidence that Frieza has limitless potential, meanwhile it is indeed stated multiple times that the Saiyans have infinite potential. Where was that ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
We've reached the point where we need to explicitly explain to people that being the MC and ending up as the strongest in no way means there cannot be somebody else with far greater potential, even though the show goes out of its way to say "you've trained 40 years, I've trained 4 months, and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Goku has been training his whole life and he's still weaker than Freeza. Both times they fought Goku only won because of a miracle (A legendary transformation nobody had seen in 1,000 years and then Freeza's own hubris). Hot take, but I actually think Goku isn't gifted and has average potential for...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I wasn’t really saying that Daima “is” a remake to GT. You’re right that that’s probably not the intention, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a comparison made by people producing the anime. It certainly will be one by the people who are watching it. I absolutely do think the absence of Whis ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Not that this needs explaining, but "gas left in the tank" is so vague it can mean anywhere from 20% to 90% stamina remaining. Goku asked a general question that was answered in the affirmative, and there's not a single thing implying that Gohan was particularly exhausted. It was a pretty...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
As far as I can see, there is no evidence that Daima doesn't fall within the Super timeline. The absence of Beerus and Whis isn't evidence. Regardless, Daima is still a product of the Revival/Modern era, therefore it will share story beats with Super. I don't see this series having anything in commo...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
What I find very interesting is the people who don't want Super to exist (a very selfish position), but are simultaneously fine with GT existing. How is it even possible? How is it possible to hate Super with such passion, but don't hate GT in the same way? It's not like GT's writing, art/animation,...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Just re-read MUI Goku vs Moro. In terms of narrative substance it's easily one of the worst fights in the history of the franchise. Goku acts so insanely, blindingly stupid it actually hurts to read, he spends 20 pages not killing Moro... for no real reason at all and almost threw the whole fight a...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
Oh boy do I hope that Daima won't have any terrible asspulls like pretty much everything about Super Perfect Cell. Hopefully Daima aligns more with Super than Z in terms of writing. Hopefully, it aligns more with the original (or the Pre-Saiyan sagas for manga purists) in terms of writing. Both wer...
