HG God Edition God Goku figure

I'm sure this isn't the place to post this, (couldn't even find a place tbh) But I have been having quite the conundrum. Anyone with general knowledge knows that Dragon Ball figures have a fluctuating level of quality and that quality control issues are abundant. I've been trying to locate a God Gok...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Gets Cancelled Overseas Over Sexual Harassment Claims

Queer people are not allowed to exist in China. It is absolutely right-wing to regularly commit crimes against humanity. Again, that's too simplistic. Extreme left-wing ideologies can (and have) committed crimes just as heinous than the most extreme right-wing governments. The USSR, Maoist China, a...

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

Exactly this. Why do you think the flawed writing is going to become better by going to another Universe? What motivation would they have to just up and leave their family in another universe and go venture off into another one just for shits and giggles? Not for shits and giggles, the concept of a...

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

I haven't quite decided what to think of Granolah overall, but I do enjoy the juxtaposition of his unreasoning focus with his ultra-perfect sight; he sees all, except the truth of his situation. I like that. That's sort of the problem though. He DOES see the truth of his situation. He sees and know...

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

As DB's version of your obsessed avenger who can't be reasoned with, I think Granolah is a pretty competently written character. He might be one of Toyotaro's best. I haven't quite decided what to think of Granolah overall, but I do enjoy the juxtaposition of his unreasoning focus with his ultra-pe...

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

I hate the ‘Goku steals the spotlight’ narrative. Goku along with Whis saved Vegeta’s life in Resurrection ‘F’, but people want Vegeta to win so much that they rather have him and the Earth die as long as Goku doesn’t win. And the only reason Vegeta even got a turn was because Goku got shot by a la...

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

Theories for the wish the Heeters will ask? With their cunning I'm hoping for something better than make Gas stronger. Maybe to steal Granolah's power and divide it amongst the 4 of them. This way all the Heeters can be relevant and the loophole could allow them to skip the negative side effect. Gr...

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

I Was discussing how this chapter made me feel about Vegeta, and while he didn't do as bad as I though it still bothered me because I know Goku is just gonna come in and win. And someone tried to argue that "Well Goku got taken out of the fight too. Its not like he's just gonna get up and wail...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

So, due to my post above being a straight out fact. One can not legitimately say that Jiren is stronger than Broly. That's just false. Also, because of chapter 70's revelations one can not say Jiren or Broly is stronger than Vegeta either. After Goku asked who would be stronger than "US" ...

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

I'm getting "Moro's secret wish on Namek" vibes and I don't like it. Many of the aspects of mystery that Toyo has been in charge of handling haven't been done particularly well. I'll wait for the chapter as well but I don't really feel myself brimming with excitement or optimism.

Re: Is there any reason why the Moro arc hasn't gotten any merchandise yet?

There was that series of mini-figurines based on manga-exclusive scenes, I'll see if I can find them. But they are an extreme rarity. One was a small diorama depicting Jiren chopping Roshi's back based on their infamous manga-only fight, and another simply depicting Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black wit...

Re: So what's Toriyama up to then?

The Zamasu arc is basically an arc about an evil Kai, we've never had something like that before for example. Wasn't there an evil Kai in AF ? Evil Goku is as fan fiction as you can get. The concept of Trunks going back in the past for help is basically what he did in the Cell arc. Vegetto was incl...

A Change of Heart

Throughout the run of Dragon Ball, there have been many characters that we've all as fans no doubt hated for one reason or another. Whether it was the overbearing nature of Chi Chi rubbing us the wrong way when we were kids, the cliched writing of Jiren, the attitude and power growth of Kale and Cau...

Why would Goku even spare Moro? This is a pure evil monster who wants to devour the entire universe and even challenged the Gods. Don't give me the "Goku doesn't want to kill people" argument, because he is more than willing to kill those that he perceives as beyond redemption. In the Fut...

Is anyone else getting Freeza vibes? And not in the good way? Goku stomps him, asks Jaco if he's still on the death penalty in the GP, Jaco says yes, and that's when Goku says he's going to fight as an Earthling and Beerus says he has a bad feeling. Are they playing up the 'Goku will spare him' plot...

Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta with their newest Limit Breaker form Vs Super Saiyan Blue Goku with Kaio-ken X20 and Super Saiyan Blue Evolution Vegeta. I would say the Super Saiyan 4's probably considering their power comes from God Trunks and SSB Vegeta and Goku. And apparently in the an...

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

For the most part GT didn't form entirely new arcs. As in, what makes the Golden Freeza arc in Super have anything to do with the Tournament of the Destroyers and what impact did the FT arc had on the next major arc, the ToP? One CAN make the argument that the FT introduced the idea and plot point ...
