For me, the highlights of Super were all the lower-key, slice of life moments. I think the story really struggled when it tried to raise the stakes or build tension, and we can't help but compare it (unfavorable) to DBZ.
So, maybe? I don't think focusing on Gohan is especially interesting, but it'd ...

Guess this confirms the DBS manga isn't ending.
Unless there's another source that I'm missing, this is vague enough that we should not take it for granted to be confirmation of more DBS in any form. "What's next" could absolutely be some new series, it could be a Daima adaptation, it ...

Seems this story was from Toriyama after all, but didn't originally make it in because the prologue wasn't allowed to exceed 3 chapters.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Someone said it on the board awhile ago, and the more time goes on the more this is likely: The reveal was not meant to tease Freeza as the next (and possibly final) villain of Super, but instead work as some sort of ending for Freeza's character in of itself. The last we see of Freeza is ...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
It's quite possible to look back on older Dragon Ball works and recognize that they are not particularly great as a whole, especially now that one is no longer a literal child. It's actually quite healthy to do so!
Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super both kinda suck? Yeah, duh, I've got a deeper ...

I just want to add that I hope whoever is in charge of the decisions regarding writing of DB going forward sets a high bar and doesn't release anything half baked. Because if the future is Black Frieza it's a bleak future for DB. Recycling same villains is a bad mistake I said it then I'll say it ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread
I missed a week and watched 17 & 18 back to back and had a great time. Incredible animation, genuine laughs, a couple moments with that inimitable Dragon Ball spark that was missing from DBS so often. That said, "big guy" fights are sort of boring, and it feels like we just did this with Super Hero ...

With these 5 powerhouses now on the scene is this the big clash that will end Super? Doesn’t seem like there is much time for some of these new forms to get more screen time.
Super is over my friend.
But the fanfic about it is going to be awesome.

Re: Why does the majority of English-speaking DB fans hate Daima?
Why is the fact that the villains are idiots who caused their own problems an inherently bad concept where the criticism is apparently self evident? The fact that Gomah would have been just fine if he didn't change everyone to kids is one of my favourite things about the premise.
Agreed, it ...

What a gift! I'm so grateful that Toriyama gave us Daima on his way out. This episode was a real high point of the entire Dragon Ball revival. Can't wait for next week.
Yes please.What if Piccolo's big fight in the climax of the series is against Neve, his parent?

This reminds me of when people would post threads like "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is universally condemned by fans". Frankly, the majority of English-speaking DS fans DON'T hate Daima! Most of them haven't even seen it yet!

The super anime was compromised at best, and unwatchable at worst, but the movies were incredible. There's no way they're going to "undo" that.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I think we have a tendency to focus too much on "What are the stakes for Gokuu?" and not really ask, "What are the stakes for Freeza?" because Freeza is the one here with the most capacity for change. It is through Freeza that we can experience a new type of story and character arc, so I think ...
