Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026


The story of these arcs was always fine. When you go back to the old threads, you'll see that the major complaints were always about the "ugly artstyle". This remaster fixes that. The scenes in this trailer look absolutely stunning.

The second major complaint was the filler/padding scenes, which ...

I'm also becoming disappointed since it seems they're not touching on the story at all or even the minor aspects. The God absorption was something I thought they ought to cut completely. Goku's character arc from the film still seems to be completely absent. Freeza still regenerates with his armor ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3" Official Discussion Thread.


I’m quite pleased to see that this appears to be more of a spiritual successor to prior Xenoverse than anything else. I see nothing of Conton City, the Time Patrol, Trunks, etc. That’s a relief, because if it were essentially just “Xenoverse 2 but with more stuff” and the same history correcting ...

Is that Bulma? Kinda creepy they immortalized her rather than going with a descendant like GT did.

All of the characters in XV from the series exist in this nebulous frozen in time zone of their lives. It shouldn't be any surprise that it's her.


Right, but it's an entirely different thing ...

Re: The uniqueness of Dragon Ball's art style in manga history


Dragon Ball pretty much dropped the cartoony style when it did become more serious and martial arts focused though

Look at the Z era and compare it to like early Dragon Ball up through at least Red Ribbon


I don't think the art style as a whole was dropped just because the facial features ...

The uniqueness of Dragon Ball's art style in manga history

My understanding is that Dragon Ball sort of pioneered a return to cartooney, Tezuka-style character designs in serious action series (well, about as "serious" as Dragon Ball got), whereas its predecessors and contemporaries mostly adhered to a gekiga style, or at least something much more detailed ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread



All battle powers equalized and reducing the battle to skill and techniques, out of all the Z and Super villains, who's coming out on top? Maybe besides Beerus since he probably wins easily (millions of years of experience, Hakai and other abilities).

I would have said Moro wins since he can ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread



I don't think the Granolah Arc has anything to add here because TUI seems to be an improved version of Sign. If TUI were just good old UI Sign, then you'd basically be saying 73 Moro is stronger than Gas, Granolah and UE Vegeta.

I think that's a valid interpretation. The implication is that ...

That's anime Piccolo. Manga Piccolo (and movie Piccolo for that matter) is consistently portrayed below SS Gohan.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread


Who is the strongest Z character DBS Piccolo (pre SH) can defeat? Manga and anime.


All of them for the DBS anime if you go by the base Goku scaling. If not, then I'd say he can probably handle SPC, but definitely caps off at SS3 tiers.

For the manga, he doesn't seem to get that strong since ...

Out of curiosity, could you name a story where a side character gets the spotlight and kills the main villain? A story where the final battle, the day is won not by the protagonist(s), but by a side character?


Dragon Ball does this constantly. Vegeta is defeated by Gohan (Goku is out of ...

The characters did things in the meantime, yes.
But the story still frames itself like their success depended on Goku's return at the end of the day.

Well, for all the talk about relying on Goku, I feel like Piccolo and Freeza are the only big bads he really beat by himself.


Also literally the only time the characters are actually waiting for Goku is…the Saiyan arc. And I guess Mecha Freeza and Cold but that was a subversion since Trunks ...

Re: How do you feel about the trope where everyone waits for Goku?

I like it because it does feel like Goku is treated as this last hope, and it's subverted well both in the Cell arc and Boo arcs with Gohan and Mr. Satan as the ultimate saviors (the "The world had forgotten Son Goku" scene is especially poignant because we hadn't seen Goku fight for almost 100 ...

Who can kill him, besides Zeno?

Beerus himself stated that Hakai cannot kill an immortal, btw.

Even Whis can't actually kill him and needs a sealing technique better than the Mafuba.


Boo can absorb him. Moro can eat him or probably seal him. Cell can absorb/eat him.

Everyone talks about what if Goku Black were Goten, but I don't think you need to replace Zamasu with Goten. What if there's a trio? Goten, Zamasu, and Goku Black (Zamasu who stole Goku's body). 3 fighters for the 3 protagonists, plus you can still keep everything good about Goku Black/Zamasu's ...
