Re: Your TOP 10 Future Trunks arc scenes

Goku Black's introduction + Future Trunks vs. Black Goku spars with Zamasu Zamasu on Planet Babari Goku and Trunks vs. Black and Zamasu Beerus destroys Zamasu Goku's rage Goku and Vegeta vs. Fused Zamasu Vegito vs. Zamasu Spirit...

Re: Dragonball Super doesn't feel like Dragonball

What people ignore is that this also comes down to nostalgia. Of course people who grew up with DBZ will think that DBZ is the "real Dragon Ball" while Super doesn't feel like it. For a kid born in 2011 who grew up with Super, I'm sure they'll say that Super feels more like Dragon Ball th...

Re: GT vs Super

I vastly prefer Super and find it to be the most rewatchable DB anime. Perhaps not the best stories , but when I'm putting Dragon Ball on, it's probably Super. It has its issues, as do aspects of the rest of the series, but they're not glaring enough to be a problem for me. I think Super blended the...

Strictly sticking to the anime here, as I haven't read the GPP arc. I have been thoroughly enjoying the Granola arc so far.

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

Banning the entire series for one episode is silly, even though that episode is by far one of, if not the worst episode in Super . EDIT: I see that the series is being edited and will return to the air. In that case, I don't see the problem. But I probably wouldn't see the problem with most "ca...

Re: Would you still like Dragon Ball if it hadn’t been retooled into a martial arts story?

Is it really retooling if it became a "martial arts story" in the second arc? Though to answer the OP, probably not. I like the Pilaf arc but not enough to be invested for as long as Dragon Ball has run.

Re: Everything Dragon Ball Super Did Right!

Slice of life, the soundtrack, the antagonists and new characters in general, and the overall storyline were done very, very well in Super. I loved the additions to the lore such as the Gods of Destruction, the Angels, UI, Time Rings, and the multiverse. I also think that the Future Trunks and ToP a...

Re: Why did Toei make their characters worse in DBS anime?

Personally, the only two points that bothered me were forgetting the Senzu and the Mafuba seal. The others were harmless gags imo and the writing for his character improved significantly in the Tournament of Power. I think it's weird to single out Chi-Chi as well.

Re: Johnny Yong Bosch Replaces Vic Mignogna as Broly.

The decision to redub the movie is a good one. If they're going to have a new actor, I appreciate the consistency. Probably just his lines right? I would assume so. On the other hand, they also redubbed some of Daman Mills' lines in the early ToP episodes with Chris Ayres on the home release and I ...

Re: How Would You Have Written Dragon Ball Super?

I will never understand why some people are disappointed that Goku Black was Zamasu. Like, that's what makes him unique in the first place. If he was just a version of Goku manipulated by Zamasu, he'd literally be a Turles clone. Just another bloodthirsty lower class Saiyan. But since he's an actua...

Re: What would be the breaking point Super would do that would make you feel like it jumped the shark?

If we're going by the TVTropes definition presented on the first page, I can't really think of anything that would make the show feel as if it "jumped the shark". However, there would be a few things that would get me to stop watching it. For one, if the manga (assuming the anime adapts it...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

I think Jiren's a fine antagonist. A character that rarely speaks or is seen as stoic is often considered bland, as I've seen in many series beyond Dragon Ball. That’s not character development. It’s character assassination to justify his being around. He has literally NO reason to be chilling with ...

Re: My Dragon Ball Wishes for 2021

I wouldn't mind a Kai-esque version of DB to stall for time until Super can come back but I'm not sure if that's sacrilege around here. I definitely agree with this. They should've done this awhile ago if they knew Super would be off the air for a few years. I think what's preventing this is a lack...

Re: Why has DB gone so crazy with new forms?

It's because ratings go through the roof when there is a new transformation and toys with new transformations sell well. They're just giving the people what they want. They can do the same without all that though, they sold DBZ merch for years when no new series were being produced. Kai got initial...

Re: Who is your favorite God of Destruction?

I am really baffled as to why Quitela is leading lol. I only voted for Beerus. I suppose Champa would be next. If we're going by design, Giin/Geene would be my second favorite behind Beerus.

Re: I can’t believe we still haven’t gotten a proper backstory on Beerus and Whis yet after all these years..

I really don’t think there’s any need to get the backstory of Beerus and Champa. What precedent is there for that in DB?

It’s not necessary and I would certainly not call the writers lazy for not including the backstories for supporting cast members.
