Frieza's role more obvious than it seems

I think it's not surprising that Toriyama brought Frieza back to life, after all, after 28 Tenkaichi Budokai takes place the action of another manga by Akira Toriyama Neko Majin where the son of Emperor Kuriza makes his debut. From this manga it also appears that Frieza is alive and Vegeta is workin...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"

Dragon Ball has no canon and never did. It's more of a western concept. Just enjoy what you enjoy regardless of what anyone thinks. Pretty much this i never understood why kids these days are screaming canon canon canon like who gives a shit? just have fun. If everyone approached this topic on the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

That's my problem with Super Goku, seems like Toriyama wanted to write him with the childhood personality he used to had, kinda dumb and innocent, but Goku grew up since the early arcs, he changed and became more mature over the time, even in OG Dragon Ball he seems more serious when there's seriou...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Nah, that would be an abysmal point. Toriyama historically gave zero fucks about continuity or what other writers were doing with his characters, and outside of an arc or two, was more deeply involved in the manga for the majority of its run until now. As Toyotaro has repeatedly mentioned, his goal...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Just to add from myself Toyotaro's post on Threads regarding Toriyama and Goku, I'm not sure what he was referring to although I can guess.

"I wonder if Mr. Toriyama didn't like the trend of Goku being made into a saint...".

Vegeta mastered the ultra ego

Going back to the fight with Granolah, Vegeta was unable to defeat Granola through his doubts of regret and guilt. This set back the development of Vegeta's strength, but going further into the second half of the Granolah saga Vegeta realized with the help of Bardock's scauter footage that pride in ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

Its hard for me to picture this Goku being the same one who was not interested in fighting Ginyu or the same one was terrified to learn that there were 2 saiyans superior to Radditz or even the same one that was enraged by the death of Bora. The examples you listed don't seem like an issue with Gok...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 103 - Official Discussion Thread

You think too much here about things that don't matter, sometimes I think to myself that DB fans live the lives of these characters more than they do. Goku is not the type of character who cares about things, he is out of character a light-hearted ignoramus whose selfish decisions have positive effe...

To expand on my above points (had to be swift with my last reply), I've been thinking about what exactly discomforts people, myself included, about the low value Goku places on his friends and family. The ones who can't fight well, anyway. I say "discomfort" because I've started to think ...

Here's the original article for those who might want a link to the source. Fuck. This hits even harder now. I don't want to sound rude, but for that panel with Goku forgetting Pan, Toyotaro was hit the hardest. Now that it is known that Toriyama is responsible for the epilogue, no one will criticiz...

Was the potential of the old saiyan blocked?

As we know the Saiyans liked to rely excessively on the Oozaru form, and they were sent to easily conquered planets such as Kanassa or Cereal, which is why they may have been so weak compared to the current Earth generation of Saiyans And as we know conquering planets without fighting does not, afte...

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...
