Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 86 - Official Discussion Thread

...is patently untrue. Nobody here is jumping down anyone's throat for feeling more positive about this arc, and if anything, the exact opposite has been the case from what I've personally observed; some of those who aren't as let down by these chapters are routinely having something to say about t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 86 - Official Discussion Thread

I agree with many of the complaints about the arc, but manga threads have really become unbearable. At this point I'm convinced that people are more concerned with finding the next new thing to complain about rather than doing a sober analysis. It became forced now. And people who appreciate things ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Yeah, it's unclear how or why that set up was finally paid off here. But, the fact remains that there was a set up and a pay off. A single line in a random episode years ago is not a build up. Especially when there was no follow-up to this plot point ever since this. Gohan wasn't training or active...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread

It’s laughable to blame Toriyama for this when he basically shat out Broly and Superhero like they were nothing. Toriyama is leaps and bounds beyond this level of writing even when he’s just fucking around. So what is he doing here? There are a lot of things in the story that are his ideas, Toyotar...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread

That is not the same as a mystical all powerful Dragon ensuring that you grow up healthy and strong due to a wish. You guys keep talking about how people need to create headcanons to justify the effects of the wish, but you guys are doing the same thing. Like, the wish is so vague that we can assum...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

. No, the story has made it very clear that the Dragon Balls are not capable of increasing someone's power beyond their latent potential (this is explicitly said by Toronbo when Granolah asks to become the strongest in the universe). The only difference is that Toronbo has shown to be able to bring...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

The answer to all your questions is "Because nobody had ever made wishes like that before". Ergo, the story had never introduced ideas like that. The story has now introduced the notion that you can simply wish to be the strongest. I won't question why people in the past didn't wish to be...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread

Minor thing here But why didn't Monaito just wish for Bardock to be the strongest in the universe? If he could just dig deep to beat Gas, that means the gulf in their power wasn't that great. One wish and it would've solved everything. And this, friends, is why I said many months ago that this plot...

Re: Has your opinion about Ultra Ego changed since its introduction?

Well, that's the big potential plus the arc currently seems to be holding out for Vegeta's development, isn't it? If Goku's Ultra Instinct is going to develop by him being able to determine who he truly is now and use it in alignment with that to develop a unique and more effective 'style' of Ultra...

Re: Has your opinion about Ultra Ego changed since its introduction?

Ultra Ego seems more like an unhinged monster, which again works with the arc and Vegeta trying and failing to be callous and unfeeling to use it. I know it's intentional to be an unsightly form, Goku does call it "freaky face mode" afterall - That works well aesthetically with having to ...

Re: Has your opinion about Ultra Ego changed since its introduction?

It's ugly as hell though, and I'm kinda hoping Vegeta decides that it doesn't suit him either considering he doesn't want to return to being callous and unfeeling in order to utilise it fully. I don't dispute that the form is visually unsightly, but I don't really hold it against it precisely becau...

Has your opinion about Ultra Ego changed since its introduction?

It might just be my impression, but I feel like the opinion about the transformation was a lot more divisive when it was introduced, and now some of the people who didn't like it either started to like it or are just fine with it. The lack of eyebrows aspect that was a major criticism at the time do...

So, a general consensus that you set up as a strawman and you fail to even define beyond vague comments any number of people could make...is hypocritical? "Super is stuck on a 10-year time gap where nothing relevant happens and therefore is predictible / safe" or "Goku is boring beca...

It's always funny to me when people use fanfiction in a detrimental way when talking about Super. In this series you literally have shit like Evil Goku, twisted Kai, red / blue / Pink/ Green haired Super Saiyan forms...all stuff you could find in fanfics and drawings 10 years ago, and some of these ...

Lol its a two sentence statement it's not gospel. Would you guys prefer if they just had a hyperlink to thier Wikipedia bios.

Heyy, Vegeta's bio for Super Hero just mentions that he is Trunks' father...so this means that Bra is being ignored in the canon of the new movie??????? It sure looks like it!

So...do they prefer the "Goku and Vegeta Show" or something? I think it's a bit disingenuous to say that people's problem is necessarily Gohan and Piccolo in the lead roles in this movie, and that anyone who disagrees just wants the "Goku and Vegeta show" again. Perhaps the prob...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

When Granola first started, there were people who outright said Toriyama wrote it or at least did the outline like he did for most of Super. It isn't until later that we learned that Granola is in the same vain as Moro where Toyo wrote the arc. What was different was Toriyama had more involvement. ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Toriyama's involvement with UE and Bardock was basically an 'okay'. He gave details of Granolah's design, but he didn't make the character since Granolah is Toyo down to his backstory. Outside of the Heeters and the new Namekian lore, it is much more minor than some people pushed or stated early on...
