Re: What's up with the hate towards Toei and their contributions to Dragon Ball in some parts of the fandom?

I, as an amature animator, don't hate Toei Animation's products, may them be the movies, OVAs and Dragon Ball GT; I also believe that the anti-filler/non-canonical Toei material sentiment in the fandom would have been much weaker if the said products were fitting one homogeneous structured story/tim...

Re: Dragon Ball Super as I would have preferred it to be written

Ngl, better than multiverse. Thanks for the compliment! :) But it isn’t really Dragon Ball imo, it’s just structured far too different to really be considered Dragon Ball. **Camera rolls into a dark room, focuses on a work desk with a lamp with mild light working, the chair is turned against the wa...

Dragon Ball Super as I would have preferred it to be written

I believe that the consensus in the fandom is that DBS was a subpar product in comparison to its predecesors (OG and Z); and I also believe that it's due to 3 factors: 1. Toriyama - having made his fortune, he doesn't feel like he needs to "work out" more than writing a few paragraphs of b...

Re: Why is manga Jiren so stupid?

I have always thought that Jiren didn’t want to be directly responsible for the destruction of multiple universes so he only eliminated people when it was necessary. Toyotaro could have drawn a depiction of him saying so in one panel before continuing to fight Goku. For example: Belmod telepathical...

Re: Was Moro wasted potential? His introduction was really ominous.

I remember waiting through 2019 and 2020 that there'll be at least one chapter to explain moro's backstory. It was weird to build him without an exposition. And no, that lackluster tidbit fight against the Supreme Kais we got wasn't fitting such a "big bad". The moro arc lost it's appeal t...

Re: Why is manga Jiren so stupid?

Because Toyotaro is a terrible writer. He's not that bad. I say he's at least mediocre. He had his chance to shine with Moro and Granolah, but he failed heavily. But he's not as bad as Toei. It's Toriyama's fault, because he's lazy and he doesn't want to write normal script. Let's not forget that T...

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

I bet that Toyotaro wanted to keep the "Strongest Warrior in the Universe" storyline, and tried to pave a new story down that road while utter defeat Uchida was mad and rejected this idea ("F you, haven't you seen what your stupid last arc [Granolah] did to my reputation online?? I wa...

Re: Toei-made characters you love and wish to see back in the series?

I really like Dr. Flappe. I think the idea of a scientist being forced to work for the Red Ribbon army lines up well with Android 8 as a character. I doubt they'll detach Android 8 from being solely created by Dr. Gero &/ Vomi, after all they've invested in building them up and that all the Red...

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

Honestly, if you turn your mind into a real Dragon Ball fan, this can actually be a decent arc. I'm starting to think that Tao Pai Pai might show up again, love that villain. Tao Pai Pai got killed by Kid Buu's destruction of the Earth. He never got revived. I still wonder what Toyotaro was thinkin...

Re: Was it too hard for the executives to pull the following arc to Granolah's like this?

For example, why do you think Gas should be redeemed? His tale is tragic, yes, and he has been used but still he is in no way a good guy. Like all the Heeters he got what was coming to him. I don't want him redeemed, but to at least show up and acknowledge his lifelong mistake of following Elec. He...

No rushed ending, Whis arrives and revives Monaito, Granolah is given the Dragon Radar by Vegeta, who joins him for the tracking of the balls. Toronbo is summoned and Granolah is asking for all the effects that were caused due to his very own wish to become the Universe Strongest, to be undone. As a...

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

If I was the one who runs the franchise, I would have written at least two story arcs that are placed between the Granolah arc and "Super Hero". An Universe 6 and 11 arcs could do. As much as I know, the last arc took place in Age 781, while Super Hero is at Age 783. Something that isn't j...

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

For all sincerity, I am not excited for this Goten and Trunks placement in the front. I have never liked them. It also feels like they have ran out of ideas how to take the story out of Universe 7, and/or rushing the story to the limits of the 10 years timeslot Dragon Ball Super is supposed to occur...

Re: Toei-made characters you love and wish to see back in the series?

Annin from the "Wedding Saga" in the end of Dragon Ball was pretty cool in her own right, though I dunno how she'd be incorporated in the story nowadays. If Goku and Chi-Chi recall these events while talking to Goten about that scenario, in either the Dragon Ball Super manga or anime, the...

Re: Toei-made characters you love and wish to see back in the series?

You'd also have to "erase" Goku's line saying he couldn't have performed fusion because there was no one at his level. Theoretically, if Goku couldn't perform the Fusion Dance with Pikkon after their gap in power was too big, it's not a retcon. What if Goku's power level without any Kaiok...

How would you react if the next arc would be the Universe 6 Arc set right after "Broly" but before "moro"?

Let's say that Toriyama decided one day that he should have introduced the Universe 6/Sadala Arc right after the end of the "Broly" movie but before the abduction of Majin Buu by Merus and the Galactic Patrol... Going "Oh, we forgot to show you Sadala Arc right after Broly, so here it...

Toei-made characters you love and wish to see back in the series?

Toei had managed to create some characters interesting enough to get included in the storylines somehow (may it be a 2 pages special additions for the Dragon Ball Super Manga about past events or in the plot ahead). I will start with mine, I had always loved: 1. Garlic Jr. and the Makyans; who broug...

I was always interested in how Frieza was eavesdropping Raditz, Vegeta and Nappa through their scouters, in particular of the whole Dragon Balls ordeal on Earth. I can imagine this scenario of Yamcha's death against the Saibaman: Frieza: *amused* "2,500 for that explosion, eh? It seems like the...

Re: Akira Toriyama's Bardock is weak character-wise.

I will state the problem nobody has addressed so far: So, BEFORE Dragon Ball Minus, Bardock is taking part in the genocide of the Cerealites, and has a change of heart; but LATER in Dragon Ball Minus he has no problems with continue genociding yet another race. This is plain bad writing.
