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

In light of Akira Toriyama's untimely passing, my continued readership of Super, at this point, is going one of two ways: 1. If Toriyama was actively working with Toyotaro on a future story arc for the past couple of years and much of the plot outline is already finished, it's certainly posthumous ...

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

After reading the Dark Demon Realm Arc from SDBH manga, I believe that Yoshitaka Nagayama would be a suitable candidate to write for the Dragon Ball Super manga. I do not understand why some people have issues with him, but to me, his stories are solid and impressive. Although it may be true that t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

It was explicitly shown back on Namek that unlocking Gohan's potential doesn't make his rage power-ups obsolete. The series never implies that, nor does it suggest he couldn't pursue that avenue again if he wanted; he doesn't do it in the Boo arc because he's rusty at that point and exploding in an...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

The "bad writing" part is Super Hero recycling a bunch of Cell Games imagery with it, but I digress. But at it's core that will always be the issue with Beast, you can't let a genie out of its bottle twice. Toriyama already gave Gohan a transformation which paid off all of his rage boosts...

Re: Why Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime is stuck in post TOP

Dragon Ball Heroes is "stuck" post-Dragon Ball Super Broly. Goku and Vegeta fuse into Gogeta to fight Hearts. We don't know why Dimps don't use Broly in its stories. Maybe they are waiting for more developments to occur for him in Dragon Ball Super, but at any rate, we don't know anything...

Why Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime is stuck in post TOP

As much as I follow the SDBH anime quite closely, I always wonder why they don't use the content of the movies, I have yet to see them use the new Broly or the new forms of Gohan and Piccolo not to mention some demonic version of Cell max. Likewise the character designs of Vegeta, Gohan are stuck in...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

This chapter reinforced my belief that Goten and Trunks were never fit for the tournament of power, Gohan was embracing them as a basic SSJ getting along with all two. And when it came down to it, they messed up again with fusion and that would be the end of their performance that a fat man would ge...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

That's what they will always say to try to retain a portion of the public. But only the arcs that advertise with Toriyama's name in giant were written by him. This is another aimless filler arc that will have to be adjusted in the future to work with the next story actually written by Tori. The ent...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

I doubt this heavily, Toriyama is not involved in the DBS manga right now. Literally Toyotaro in a recent interview from January says that Toriyama is heavily involved in the manga while revealing the process of its creation. That's what they will always say to try to retain a portion of the public...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Do my eyes deceive me? It's the start of the skirmish between Goku and Gohan, and people are writing Gohan off compared to Freeza? The guy whom Toriyama said is "actually" strongest and claimed or it is also said? Since all he has to do is get angry and sneeze and he explodes with more po...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 102 - Official Discussion Thread

More Fat Gotenks. You're a true comedy genius, Akira. Toriyama is focused on Sandland and Daima, he has no idea that the manga is still running. Everything you can enjoy in these pages is pure genius from Toyo and Uchida. I doubt this heavily, Toriyama is not involved in the DBS manga right now. Li...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Hey pssst and did you know that Fukkatsu no F and the state Saiyan beyond God is also part of manga continuity? Ressurrection of F was skipped in the manga continuity. You can verify between chapters #4 and #5 that it has no mention of the “Saiyan Beyond God” state that is exclusive to the movie an...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I don't think Goku and Vegeta got 50x stronger from the Boo arc to Superhero in their base forms to become stronger than the SS kids. They didn't absorb SSG in the manga. Base Goku was already far stronger than Shin before the ToP even started in the manga. Shin getting owned and falling on his fac...

The Bulma case is also bad because she is supposed to be like the smartest person on earth, but even with all the smarts and all the experience of all the world ending threats she has, she still doesn't let his son train and then calls him useless...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

Yes yes let these two be the next Goku and Vegeta with another super duper form 1 to 15 with no personalities of their own. They have their quiet lives and their own identities and down-to-earth concerns and that's for the best. They don't need to be Goku and Vegeta, but this is still Dragon Ball. ...
