Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

I'm not exactly thrilled about going back to kid Goku again, but I have to say "aloof child and his companion, literally God, having gag adventures throughout the cosmos" sounds exactly like something Toriyama would write outside of super serious post-RRA DB. He has expressed jealousy over...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*

A lot of credible people in the community are backing this "Shin/kid Goku magical grand tour adventure" web anime plot, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Sounds interesting enough. I guess we'll see on October 12th.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

I'm guessing #100 will be the end of the retelling and the tease of the new arc. #98 should end with Orange Piccolo going giant at this rate, #99 with the Beast transformation and some of the fight, and #100 wraps things up with a tease at the end.

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?

Zamasu. He is a Supreme Kai, so: 1) He already has knowledge of Ultra Instinct; The Supreme Kais are shown acknowledging UI/MUI in the ToP, and Zamasu directly acknowledges UI in Heroes. 2) he has an affinity with God Ki, because he's literally a God, this will make it much easier to tap into the G...

Re: Hypothetically what would be the better stroy

Almost 30 years later and GT's ending is still the definitive best one for the larger story. In a better timeline, the ideal option would be a moderately better-written GT still serving as that final ending, preceded by a much -better-written-than-what-we-got version of Super that actually properly...

Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?

Not antagonists like Jiren or Hit, but full on villains who presumably have their mind and hearts set on other things and would have a hard time clearing themselves of all emotion.

Pure Boo comes to my mind.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Reimagine the battle against Nappa and Vegeta, assuming that: all parties know how to fuse, without size/ki constraints; fusions can last either 30 or 60 minutes or anything inbetween, to your taste; fusions can't stack, to keep it in line with what we've seen so far; Goku is there from the start. ...

Re: DB: Budokai losing to tenkaichi is one of biggest tragedies to the series

Did it "lose", though? The arena fighters are more common, but we've received our fair share of 2D fighters since Budokai 3: Infinite World, Shin Budokai, Burst Limit and of course FighterZ which is actually a competitive fighting game that should be getting a sequel any time soon. Both ge...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

What's the consensus on Dabra's strength now? Considering SS2 Trunks took care of him without much issue, is it fair to say perfect Cell was the form Goku compared him to? Though Trunks was also stronger than Cell Games Gohan at that point, so it's probable he'd handle SPC just as easily.

The rest of the Boo bits are already on TNM's review. They did up to EoZ.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

I think Super Vegeta would be happy if Gohan, Goten and Trunks surpassed them as long as he keeps rivaling Goku. I don't know... Majin Vegeta seemed kinda humiliated at the fact that a pre-teen managed to outclass him in the Cell Games. He's matured since then, of course, but I imagine he might not...

The fights are with the following rule: The fighter on the right has the same power level as the fighter on the left. Ex: Nappa x saiyan arc Yamcha: Nappa had 4000 power lvl so Yamcha would face Nappa as though he had 4000 power lvl. (similar strenght/speed) No transformations allowed. Intelligence...

Re: Dragon Ball and the "It gets good in about 85% of the way!" mentality

I don't watch the One Piece anime but the manga version of Wano is definitely emblematic of One Piece at its worst. I don't really care for comparing it to Thriller Bark, Dressrosa or Fishman Island because all four arcs are awful and share the same issues. My main problems with modern One Piece are...
