Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
The prev chap had Trunks note that he was too busy playing hero to study, while Toyotaro notes in his Saiyaman X-1 + X-2 drawing session/interview that Blue Hal HS is a pretty elite school in which Goten had to study really hard to get in while Trunks coasted by on his natural born genius (tho he h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
Really liked this chapter. Showing that Trunks was able to partially get into Hedo's disk was a nice touch. He's nowhere near Bulma, but he's not an idiot, he just had thoughts on other things like any teenage boy. Also find it funny that Goku's sons like scholarly pursuits and Bulma's son likes to ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 88 - Official Discussion Thread
Apologies if this has already been brought up somewhere, but there is some really neat worldbuilding happening that goes all the way back to early DB here. This chapter included explanations for how Pilaf's machines were made (his stuff was always advanced) and how he is useful to his group beyond b...

Re: Where do the dragons go?
Below is simply my interpretation from all of the DB media I have consumed. There may be some more official info out there I haven't seen, but I've thought about this quite a bit. I believe what we see are not actually the dragons, but manifestations brought about by their statue representations. Fo...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Honestly, if you turn your mind into a real Dragon Ball fan, this can actually be a decent arc. I'm starting to think that Tao Pai Pai might show up again, love that villain. I also love some Tao Pai Pai, but the real Dragon Ball fan thing is cringe. We're better than that. It feels a bit early to ...

Re: Colorism in Dragon Ball
I definitely think this exists in anime and manga in general. A lot less now, but definitely back in the day. I do think Goku Black does make sense. He has 'Black' in his name, his personality is dark, and he wears black. Hell, even his aura is black, sometimes. Slightly darker skin adds to the the...

Re: Do you prefer the idea Saiyans are pure evil or generally redeemable?
People forget Vegeta was an exceptional bastard by Saiyan standards so they shouldn't use him as an average. Sure. But Vegeta was the stronger being on earth for quite some time and could have conquered it without much actual opposition. But that was probably the furthest thing from his mind. Not t...

Can we not even bring up those YouTubers and avoid making this into a YouTube comments argument?
Right now we only have some speculation to go off of, right?

If it turn out someone important from Dragon Ball related stuff owned child pornography, would you stop supporting products he/she was involved with? Thankfully enough the Japanese side is clean of this stuff and is made of people with honor. Mr. Toriyama makes some silly interview comments here an...

Re: What would be your reaction if "the strongest in the universe" will be...
I'd be flabbergasted. For the idea to work, there'd have to be a passable explanation as to how some machine can boost an ordinary human's power to Black Freeza+ levels: one that far trumps training, potential unlocking, God Ki, power copying, absorption, and a wish on the DBs. It just seems a litt...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread
I wasn't a fan of the Moro arc because I thought it had a great idea and then tripped and fell on its face. It did manage to eek at a solid "Buu arc Vegeta thumbs-up" out of 10 for me, but just barely. With the Granolah arc I felt we had a chance to get some really neat lore and see some u...

Re: What even is "Goku's Change" in GT
Could you offer some more context?
I don't remember anything regarding a mysterious transformation for Goku at the end of GT.
Also, if there is one, what do you think it is?

Re: Goku is disabled
Nah my dude Goku is a simple man. Definitely not disabled, just ignorant in certain ways. A great example is he constantly is capable of learning and picking up things (even the math) when given the opportunity. He doesn't show a lack of ability to learn but a lack of opportunity. His actions are go...

Re: Ultimate evil in Dragon Ball Super
Honestly, I don't want to see an "ultimate evil" in this series. I think that time has come and flown by at mach speed. Instead, I think that we should take a look at the recent stories being told. More of the characters looking into themselves, lower stakes, understanding pasts, etc. I be...

Re: Future Trunks’ Sexual Orientation
The Mai thing always creeps me out, especially with kid Trunks. Imagine having a storyline in which a 30-40 year old man gets a younger body and starts to flirt with a girl that's about 8 years old. Oof! Don't give the writers any ideas. I don't think they're above it. While I like the idea and it ...

Re: Broken power levels in theatrical movies
Only Tagoma was compared to Zabon and Dodoria, and he died before fighting anyone. Shisami was the strongest of the mercenaries they got and was never compared to anyone. Either Shisami was stronger than Piccolo (with all its problematic implications), or Piccolo was "having problems" wit...

I really hope all these spoilers aren't true. I know I should wait for the release of the movie to judge it, but this is hurting. Well, for all of you out there hoping to see less people excited for the movie your wish has been granted. Congrats I guess.

Re: Would Goku be less enthusiastic about fighting stronger people if he was not able to keep up?
In the scenario provided, I'd have to say he's just as enthusiastic, if not moreso. Considering he was able to use his technique to progress past Frieza I think he'd do just fine. Why? Because he would work doubly hard on technique without the ability to abuse the Saiyan nature. This means no time w...

Who knows, but personally my whole family thought Frieza was a chick back in the day because of the voice. Didn't make any difference when I found out he's a dude, or something.
