Re: Who's the best character in every arc?
Interesting topic, and in places very tricky to answer. There is, of course, more than one way of being "well written" depending on what the story is going for (in early Dragon Ball we often get The Gag Reel and so the better-sketched comic presences do well out of such arcs, but obviously...

Re: Vegeta mastered the ultra ego
Yeah, I can't say I've seen much discussion about whether or not he mastered the form/technique - just whether it made any difference to anything either way.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread
This Chapter really worked for me, in a number of ways. Firstly and most simply, I loved the action art in the Goku vs. Gohan matchup; it felt a lot sharper and more visceral than the previous chapter, particularly when Gohan amped his power - the linework really sells the power-up and the speed of ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Interesting. Maybe in April, an Interval Special, or some other Editorial Piece? Akira Toriyama's birthday was in April, so it might be fitting (and there would no doubt be the desire) to spend that month giving a closer focus.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
To that end, I think a continuing story will likely be drawn more and more towards the following, the longer it goes on... You know it would be nice to actually read your thoughts on this rather than asking ChatGPT to generate a response on the matter. Those were my own thoughts. But if you mean to...

Re: SPARKING! ZERO - Visual Roster Checker
But for Kale, all I can tell is that it says "Super Saiyan [something]" and it's not "Full Power" like for Broly's version of the transformation . So I just guessed it was "Super Saiyan Berserk" like it's apparently been in some games, but I'll update all the names to ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I think it's on-point to say that being able to tout Toriyama's continued involvement in an ongoing story is attractive and potentially lucrative, to those masterminding the franchise following his tragic death. But I think it's also fair to say that creatives and executives alike will want to try t...

I'm sorry beyond words that he is gone. But I'm grateful beyond words that he was here.

Re: Favorite Super characters (new)
I wonder if the "joint designs" for Heles and Belmod started out as vague ideas from Toyotaro that Toriyama then fleshed out into full concepts, given that their reference art is distinctly Toriyama. Quite possibly - the finished publicity art for Belmod, at least, is unmistakably Toriyam...

Re: Deeper meaning of Moro Arc name puns
For Seven-Three , I don't really see anything though, maybe road number in Utsunomiya :lol: I realise this is a trifle late, but just resolving this little extra question, in a way that dovetails very nicely with all the foregoing from OP: A couple of weeks ago Toyotarou made an Instagram Post talk...

Re: Favorite Super characters (new)
I appreciate the unique designs of each of the Destroyers. While Supreme Kais and Angels are very similar in terms of design, the artists (Toei? Who did it first?) went all out with the Destroyers and it shows. Each of them is unique and easily-distinguishable The Gods of Destruction are indeed som...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
Probably another hint at Toriyama not given that many fucks about Toyo's manga Especially Moro, lol. It's the only arc that wasn't mentioned to be a collaborative effort. The only contribution from Toriyama (that we know of) was this art correction from a single chapter. I believe Toriyama is also ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Philosophical question. Do any of you ever wonder why these same arguments over the decades never seem to end? Just recycle over and over again? At least in part, when looking at Dragon Ball Super I would say it's because of a few things: Deliberate Ambiguity/Incomplete Information . The story rare...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread
The scene-setting at the top of the Chapter is delightfully goofy - Goku just rounds everyone up in a car and Shunkan Idou-s them into a road trip to Beerus's. (Broly struggling with the Yoga Tree Pose when they get there is a good chuckle, too.) Beyond that, the chapter is a melange of more-or-less...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
"only blocks when it can't dodge doesn't it?" I've seen no statement or panel to shut this question down. Other than Chapter 64, where Goku blocks repeated strikes with one arm and then starts dodging without even moving from the spot he's standing on, of course. That seems amply to shut ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Like I said, UI seems to usually opt to dodge instead of block Respectfully, this is absolutely not what you said. To be quite clear, what you actually said, repeatedly , is that Ultra Instinct will only block if for some reason it cannot dodge: Yeah one thing people are missing.. is UI Auto-Dodges...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
This does not at all explain why Goku blocks Moro's attacks in Chapter 64, a mere handful of pages after initially Completing Ultra Instinct and while still in the midst of showing everyone that he's hugely superior to Moro. Please address this point. By continuing to maintain that Ultra Instinct o...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
It dodges first and foremost and clearly has only NOT dodged when it couldn't do so which usually is because Goku either being simply unable to because the opponents speed and accuracy of their attack was too great therefor Goku blocks instead.. OR because UI's accuracy has dropped too much. He JUS...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
We've seen it since it was introduced, and Goku's only ever blocked when he couldn't dodge or the ONE moment where he let Moro break his hand on his chest. This isn't accurate. In Chapter 64 alone (arguably his most dominant display to date using Completed Ultra Instinct), Goku interchangeably dodg...
