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

I like how he seemingly teleported Carmine as well, I wonder if that's going to matter down the line, just like when Kibitoshin teleported Mister Satan to the fight against Buu.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

Say that Freeza and Coola fuse (at their stongest Z levels, e.g. "sliced by Trunks" for the former, mecha for the latter), can Gogeta (fusion reborn level) defeat them? Does Gogeta need Super Saiyan 1/2/3? Even I think 4 would be overkill (not to mention incompatible with the Z timeframe)....

I'm still waiting for a 4-way fusion between Gogeta and Gotenks.

Re: Skipped episodes

Italy didn't skip any episodes per se, though a few of them have been heavily trimmed (e.g. the one with Bulma's watch lasted like half of a regular episode). I'll admit that I don't know if that's ever been rectified in subsequent rereleases.

I genuinely forgot that this is still a thing, it's like they're actively trying to lose the audience instead of keeping people interested.

Feel free to ping me when they're back to something good.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 100 - Official Discussion Thread

Not sure what Carmine can do at this point though. Team up with Black Freeza. About this chapter, my comment is mostly the same as the previous ones. It would have been nice and enjoyable in a vacuum, but I already knew how the movie played out, so yeah, let's wait for 101 and hope for more origina...

Re: Why Tenshinhan/Tien can, and should get more relevance

I take you never watched YuYu Hakusho, because what you described is very similar to what Hiei can do with his Jagan. I'm not sure if Dragon Ball wants to go full circle and copy from a copy (though I hope so for another reason not relevant to the topic at hand).

Re: Plural of the word "Saiya-jin"

Unless the author(s) explicitly mandates otherwise (e.g. Pokémon names should never be pluralised), I think it mostly depends on the rules of your own language when it comes to plurals of foreign words. For example, in Italian there's a rule which states that foreign words shouldn't be pluralised, e...

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

One way or another, Black Freeza needs to be addressed, there's no way they were so carefree in the EoZ if they knew Freeza was still around. Barring another retcon, I expect at least one more story arc before they retell the EoZ ( if they are going to retell it to begin with, this is the first time...

Piccolo talking to the kids in the RoSaT when he was entering there with Boo... This is the one instance that never made sense to me: if Piccolo was talking at a normal speed, his speech would have lasted for several minutes from the boys' perspective, and vice versa, what they said should have bee...

Re: Do you prefer reading the manga colored or black and white....? And also...

Since I use the Shonen Jump app, I don't have a choice. There are very few colored chapters of Z, and they look nice, but most of everything else is in black and white.

Re: Should Universe 7 Saiyans get revived along with the planet

Restoring the whole planet and reviving everyone would be pointless, though I'd like to see Goku meet his father, at least once (if not permanently). Having him find his dad's scouter seemed like a perfect breadcrumb to build upon, but eh, Daima.

Re: Would Goku had the same reaction (SS transformation) if Gohan was killed instead of Kuririn?

Probably not. Goku was mostly angry because "Kuririn already died once and couldn't be wished back to life". In fact, it's a good thing that Goku didn't know that Namekian dragon balls didn't have such a limitation, he would have probably lost if he knew that Kuririn could be wished back t...
