Kanzenshuu

Him being pushed to finally explore that sort of training after hearing about how much farther Goku pushed ahead is pretty natural and organic storytelling, considering he already had a warrior's pride on Namek (as called out by Goku for not simply firing at Namek a second time after merely destroy...

Neko Majin deserves better than to ever be intentionally tied to Super. This, and we already have an existing template for that to boot. Just make it like the Doctor Slump episode- An unapologetically zany love letter. I would have absolutely loved this. I always felt Toriyama had a bit of resentme...

They couldn't even wait a month before Toriyama passed before selling the rights to a Dragon Ball theme park, to Saudi Arabia of all places? Disgusting.

trying to be "The Good Guys" finds limited and piecemeal success Great point. The sentai-inspired antics of Gohan, Goten and Trucks (and the Gammas!) are funny because of how artificial and childish - not naive, childish - they are and, as you said, this has never been why Goku has been s...

Not to dump on anyone who enjoys the manga, but to be honest it feels like the manga has outlived its purpose. The manga seems more like it's a curiosity to most people that I've interacted with online and people I know personally haven't even read more than a couple chapters if at all. That's actu...

Legend, he'll never be forgotten.

Obviously Beerus, Whis and Jaco are the top 3, but if we're ignoring them: - Zeno: Incredibly strange fellow. - Grand Priest & his retainers: Those stringbean looking psychos have such a strange and cool design, I have to assume we'll be seeing more of them someday. - Berryblue & Sorbet (Fre...

There is no point in bringing back a villain just to humiliate him and for comic relief. For what its worth, this was Pilaf's fate, and that has worked really well for Super so far. I wouldn't want to see as much of Zamasu as much as we saw of Pilaf, but they're similar archetypes (entitled, arroga...

You can't just place a 10 year time where apparently nothing happens, it doesn't work like that, not in a series like Dragon Ball where bad guys regularly threaten the Earth and entire arcs can be crammed in a few days (as in the case with Buu arc). Did all bad guys go on vacation for 10 years or w...

An interesting way they could bring him back is introducing a new concept to the lore. Perhaps everything that gets erased by the Gods and Zeno don't actually get erased? Just get sent to it's own dimension. Zamasu would be the leader of that dimension and the whole Future Trunks timeline that was ...

Given how hierarchical the system of deities is, and how far outside his station he was conducting himself, maybe he'll have to start over from the bottom rung of the ladder. Years from now we'll find that Zamasu has been working contritely on some far flung planet, filing paperwork and making tea ...

tl;dr: I appreciate Zamasu's character coming full circle in its own irreverent capacity as another silly god who happened to be in way over his head. Perhaps you should as well. Some things are better left concluded. Given how hierarchical the system of deities is, and how far outside his station ...

A perfect fit!

ok, sorry for the digression, back to waiting for 102.

Also, while I admit I've never heard of this guy, it's hard to imagine a writer for DC working on a Dragon Ball project being good news in any way

I wouldn't want this to happen and I find it very hard to imagine it happening, but... if it did happen... I think I'd want them to add some depth or nuance to his "anti-mortal ideology". Zamasu is defined by his disgust and fear of mortals, but his reasoning is thin, arbitrary and self-de...

Great for comic relief! Sorta predictable or boring for "serious high stakes" drama, I guess.

The instant you stop thinking of DBS as something that's actually happening in a real alternate dimension, and start thinking of it as the creative hobby of an old Japanese guy who's just having fun, questions like these become a lot easier to answer for yourself. Best post I've seen in years, this...

Working off of 'outlines' is really no different from working off of a comic. Like, writers are writers. It's true that "writers are writers" (how could that NOT be true?) but I disagree that there's no difference in working from an outline vs a completed manga. An outline doesn't include...

It's well known that the production of Super was deeply troubled, with multiple, egregious examples of new low points for the entire franchise in terms of art, animation and storytelling. It's likely that a large part of the cause of this was from having to work off "outlines" (or films) i...

Great chapter. Beerus forgetting Gohan cracked me up, and Toyo's art was on point. Bringing up Frieza just for Beerus to dismiss his significance was interesting, I think that points to his return, if he does return, being misdirection or setup for something else, similar to his return to earth at t...
