Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

So if the Old Broly is so good, wouldn't this mean that the franchise is in good hands (Toei's)? I mean, the beloved and popular DBZ Broly was 100% a Toei creation. [/b] The character design was Toriyama's, which was the only thing carring Broly's popularity, because Takao Koyama storytelling surel...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Another example is Broly. Plenty of disgruntled and nostalgic fans refuse to accept the New Broly. They will say nonsense like "DBZ Broly will always be the true/only Broly to me." The new Broly is a completely different character from the original Broly. It's perfectly fine to choose one...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

Funny thing is in the super manga Gohan already had a rage boost moment against Moro, and it amounted to nothing. And it was in response to Goku being in extreme mortal danger!: https://i.imgur.com/Y8vM5Vl.png https://i.imgur.com/eVhO7LB.png (Gohan Beast haters rise up) His rage boost did not work ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

People are talk about Goku being a huge fan of meditation in the manga when most of his training was physical and that's how he got strong, so that's why he was questioning Vegeta, No he was questioning Vegeta because he has no idea what mediation is, he thought Vegeta was just lazing around. https...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

Wow, someone actually going to bat for some of the dumbest lines in Dragon Ball history. Anyway the major issue with the meditation scene in Super Hero is that Goku has ZERO idea what Vegeta is doing at all, he doesn't even identify it as meditation, he just thinks Vegeta is lazing around for no re...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

When was the last time Goku in Toriyama's canon used meditation to get stronger? The answer is never, What Goku said too Vegeta in the movie made sense because Goku has never gotten magically stronger by just meditation in the original manga. He has always trained his body. Meditation has never hel...

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

I don't remember seeing this here before, so figured I'd post it. Turns out that in addition to the special chapter colour art, the V-Jump Cover featuring Orange Piccolo and Gohan Beast, and the Jump Festa artwork of Gohan Beast, Toyotarou has done some collab art for Dragon Ball Legends, to commem...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

He got oneshot by Frieza? i know DB fans are bad at power scaling, but this is crazy. I agree. It's crazy that just because someone gets "oneshot", they suddenly become weak. Without taking into consideration factors and contexts. Bardock was probably the thirteenth strongest Saiyan, but ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

I would accuse him of being inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. I can't tell if you're joking. You're saying you would only do that if Toyotaro came up with Jiren? As in you're only looking to compare it to another shonen when Toyotaro is writing? And i would love it. You know, i have...

If it was the manga version?, HELL NO :lol:, i fell in love with the aura that the anime created for him, that's probably the best presentation of a strong enemy that the series ever done, that's why i have the cringy name :lol:, in the manga he was about to be low diff by Roshi (jk but still not a...

1. Dragon and Minato one of the strongest in they veres, past and present, Toriyama Bardock was not, especially when you had every soldier in the Frieza Force, King Cold, Frieza, Ginyu Force, King Vegeta, Prince Vegeta And the Kais stronger then him We know nothing of Monkey D.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

So still a bum and not one of the strongest in the series? just like i said? What's your point anyway? Bardock never was one of the "strongest in the series" generally speaking, not even Ooishi Naho's Bardock, who is the Legendary Super Saiyan, is the "strongest in the series", ...

Which i do have a problem with so i don't know why you thing i don't, but Toei is able to make up for it by being more entertaining with fights and visuals, were Toyo fails. Toyo was the one who made Minus Bardock special with a random power up AND it was also his idea too have him show up for no r...

it was also his idea too have him show up for no reason in the arc. Dende forbids one of his many, many assaults to have some consequences in the future. Why would they and what are the chances, right? Toriyama's Bardock was a bum unlike Luffy and Naruto's dads who were some of the strongest in the...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

Goten and Trunks did not defuse in the fight with Cell Max, Gotenks was used as comedy but still effective in the fight, why chance that? That's what i mean by edgy, it's like Toyo want Dragon Ball too be more like the old movies and not the manga, Do you consider every other idea in Super that exi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

Piccolo would have been the main character of the movie if someone did not suggest that he should used Gohan, so we don't know how the movie would have been. And we don't know if Goten and Trunks having Saiyaman customs was his or Toriyama's idea. Going by the statment of him saying that the boys h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

Toyotarou writes like he wants to please people on Twitter. Making Goten and Trunks turn super saiyan, defuse them so the "cool" separate designs of Goten and Trunks can help defeat Cell Max. This edgelord amateur gives me so much "only watch DBZ and it should have ended at Cell saga...
