Re: [spoilers] What do you think is the narrative reason for Beerus being kept ahead of Goku?

They were both stated to be stronger than him. End of. WE.HAVE.NEVER.SEEN.BEERUS.AT.FULL.POWER. End of. Goku and everyone not called Whis or Beerus can only speculate about Beerus full power but none of them has seen it. And on a deathly fight against, let's say, UI Goku, Beerus would most likely g...

Re: [spoilers] What do you think is the narrative reason for Beerus being kept ahead of Goku?

Dragon Ball writers have two major flaws: 1) They don't plan ahead 2) They love over-exaggeration To illustrate this, let's look at the Namek arc. Goku went from fighting a strong Saiyan, to fighting even stronger Saiyans, to fighting the RULER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Notice a little jump there? Fro...

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

After seeing this chapter, I really wonder how awesome the world of DB would have been if Toriyama was way better at world building (or at least if he didn't plan the series to end after the Frieza saga). In a way Toyotaro is limited by the super small galaxy that Toriyama cornered himself to (28 in...

Re: [spoilers] What do you think is the narrative reason for Beerus being kept ahead of Goku?

At the end of the movie, Goku flat out states that Broly is probably stronger than beerus, so for the time being, Gogeta is already far stronger than beerus. So I assume and expect that in the next arc he will be surpassed by Goku and Vegeta. TBH Goku has NEVER seen Beerus fight at full power. Goku...

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

I couldn't disagree more. I also don't see how this is relevant either. It's relevant cause both TOP's are finally finished. Also, yes the manga's TOP was better written due to situations having reasons behind them. The way Goku obtains UI, there was no friendship boosts, and simple things like giv...

Re: Broly’s power increase in this movie explained (Spoilers)

The only reason Frieza, Broly and Kefla powered up so fast is the same reason Roshi was able to go toe-to-toe for a few seconds with Base ToP Goku and Anime Frost / Manga Jiren. Plot convenience. The writers couldn't find a way to make these fighters match the main cast in strength in a short span ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Kaioken is a technique Goku uses on top of his forms, it's not a separate transformation, so it all depends on him and the plot if he'll use it or not. SSBE has been described as Vegeta breaking through his limits. The same way UI was described. Goku achieved UI (omen in this case) multiple times a...

Re: Why can’t they wish back Bardock and Gine?

He could always just time travel to the past to meet them if he wanted. But Goku doesn't care. Like, at all.

He'll get a power up, job to Broly, then Goku will get an even stronger power up and win. Classic DB.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Besides DB Minus and the amount of retcons this movie may have, I'm also worried about the ending. Freeza dies again?! Disappointing and redundant at this point. Broly dies?! Disappointing, because that would mean they just brought him to earn money. Broly survives and joins the main the cast?! Ter...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Goku was born in Age 736 Only if you take Gine's words literal, which is not something most people will do. When the difference is one year, one can think the person rounded up the information; in this case, Gine just rounded it up the time Goku spent in the incubator, he can still be born in AGE 7...

Yes, we're at the end of AGE 780 (also because Universe 6 does take place later in AGE 779). Which is why I continuously complain about the height of Goten, Trunks and Marron, another year will be over and they're still portrayed inaccurately. And then there is Bulma's line by the of the manga, it ...

If they DO announce a new series, guess we'll finally learn whether or not GT is part of Super's continuity or not. GT as it is doesn't fit at all with Super but I'm pretty sure some of its elements (mostly Ssj4) will get rebooted like Broly is. I always assumed that they'd end this modern run of D...

Re: I feel that Battles between universes was going too high

Goku and Saiyans the strongest fighters in the galaxy, I can accept that. But not the strongest fighters in the universe . I believe that the universe, even the DB universe, is large enough that it could contain fighters who can match the Saiyans. It's too late to change it now, but it's my feeling...
