^ That's not the source. The source is Toyotaro's Twitter . Anyhow, I don't think it's a coincidence that Toriyama had his own favorite character look at us through the panel and wave not long before his passing. He was saying goodbye to all of us. All these revelations of his involvement have absol...

I think, as TKA said, it's probably just a result of time changing people. By 2013, Toriyama hadn't consistently written Goku for many years, so there was bound to be some flanderization compared to the original run. I'd have to disagree that it has anything to do with that. In EoZ, the "poiso...

DBS Goku and Vegeta are pretty clearly borrowing from their depiction in Broly , and it seems Toriyama intentionally didn't use SS2 or SS3 for the stuff that he scripted directly, so I think streamlining their forms to SS > SSG > SSB makes sense. Really hoping they don't make UI Goku shirtless for t...

I don't think that's "irritating writing" at all. Art consumption being of course subjective, I think that's more engaging than having a straightforward role model for the main protagonist. Real people are flawed, and characters can likewise be flawed. Also, character development needn't b...

Goku and Vegeta have gotten noticeably stronger since the Granolah arc. I don't generally assume offscreen boosts where none were implied, but this one was directly implied by Goku on the fourth page. With that said, Goku still wanted to challenge Piccolo, so we can assume that Piccolo isn't too far...

In that time, Toriyama has said time and time again that he wasn't satisfied with the view many people have of Goku due to the anime and the movies. It's not wild to think maybe he toned some things up and other things down to really hammer home who Goku actually is now that he was hands on with th...

I still see all this as superfluous if we treat it as an epilogue to Super Hero. The underlying theme of what encompasses a hero, or Gohan potentially surpassing his dad and becoming strong enough to protect earth on his own, are all things conveyed succinctly throughout the arc and right after beat...

Bread in Spanish is called pan, maybe that is the joke. Maybe Goku thought Piccolo was going to get bread. No, the joke is that he forgot his granddaughter's name because he's been an absentee grandfather since her birth and has always prioritized his personal hobby (fighting, training) over doing ...

About Goku forgetting Pan: Much like Beerus forgetting who Gohan was, I thought it was pretty funny and in-character. Maybe what people should do is recognize that we're talking about the same guy who's been training offworld for years to the point of neglecting his own family; no shit he'd have a m...

Here's the original article for those who might want a link to the source.

Fuck. This hits even harder now.

But the last few pages... that wasn't Toriyama; that was Toyotaro adding his own flourishes. The choice to leave the final few pages textless was a good one and a VERY unique one for Dragonball, and especially for Super (which has often been very text-heavy). I was actually somewhat reminded of the...

The "short dash" mechanic looks similar to what Kakarot had, and I liked the basic combat movement in that.

But yeah, what a fucking mindblowing showcase all around. This is the best looking DB game ever made and I'll gladly go to my grave on that hill.

My thoughts this month are virtually the same as the last two months. As standalone material, it's a good chapter. The character interactions are still snappy and zany fun, and I like that it subverts the expectations of people that wanted a clear-cut "win" from one of these characters by ...

As a brand that makes money, Super will never end. The GT anime ended in 1997 and is still getting milked to this day via games, toys, etc. – and being the bread winner that it is, Super isn't going anywhere from a merchandising perspective. I'm sure they'll also animate the manga arcs at some point...

I think the thrust, or what little thrust there is, is something like Gohan ~ Broly, then Goku ~ Vegeta ~ Piccolo. But the chapter was purposely ambiguous with this whole Super Saiyan battle royale thing because everyone was exhausted by the end of it. One can easily argue that all of them belong t...

Ultra Instinct clearly being stated to be Goku's strongest form, not to mention. True Ultra Instinct doesn't make an appearance nor is it mentioned in chapter 103 :lol: Or Broly's Super Saiyan form 1) being previously inaccessible until now and 2) clearly being a contender for the top ranks, which ...

To you who has read it: apart from the characters not being the same, how is the different? And are the familiar characters different too? The SDBH manga is a slightly lengthier iteration of the web anime, so it's still all the same empty mindless dreck with none of the charm or characterization th...

Yes, or some flashy version of it, in any case.

(man, flipping through this shitty arc again is physically painful lol)

Yet Goku used Hakai on Fused Zamasu and it was working if not for him stopping it, and he did it without needing to use UE. Again, the Granolah arc clarifies all this. Right after Beerus takes out Vegeta at the start, Goku calls back to the Hakai he used against Zamasu and says it was a pale imitat...
