Re: Do you dislike the Dragon Team vs Moro goons part of the arc?


I've noticed it's a polarising segment, as people either love it or hate it.

I'd have to say personally I disliked it when first reading it because it felt like a waste of time since they're inconsequential battles we know could be resolved in a second by any of the stronger fighters, but ...

Re: Was there a place to fit another arc between Granolah and Super Hero?

In Toriyama's original manga, the daily lives of the protagonists were interrupted by exceptional situations every few years: the worst thing about DBS was to make villains appear all the time one after the other.
I'm glad they haven't shoehorned in more trash in between this last stage.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 2 - Official Discussion Thread


I do wonder if Goku in Daima will be able to do the teleport.
He hasn't for some reason in Episode 2.

Speaking of... Why can't they just... use Shin's teleport to go straight to Gomah?
Shin can teleport anywhere, without any need to sense Ki.


I think you need to pay more attention to the ...

Re: Is the split explanation of the Potara fusion in Daima a Ret-Con or not?


Yes.

And it just creates too much headaches.

1) Why did Kibitoshin stay fused 4 years if he hated it?
2) Why did he use the Namekian Dragon Balls to unfuse? Was Boo asleep?
3) Why didn't Goku ask Shin in the U6 arc about them using Boo instead of the balls to defuse?
4) Why did Goku ask Gowasu ...

Re: Would you like to see blood in DB Daima?

I couldn't care less about animated blood, but hopefully this time we'll see a lot of red drops so we can stop talking about it in forums:
It's a constant complaint that exhausts me.

Count on my pro-blood vote! :thumbup:

Clearly the opponent's level can be adjusted to what the story requires. I just didn't want transformations.

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the whole new cell max, gohan beast, orange piccolo etc


I've always found Son Gohan Beast, Power Awakening Piccolo, and Orange Piccolo to be the worst DB transformations ever, along with most transformations from DBS. These transformations have been pulled out of nowhere and have never been explained.

Cell Max is just a dumber version of Cell and is ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)




No one would call the DBS anime "groundbreaking", but at the end of the day it was decent promotion for the manga and the films.


It's weird to see it that way, considering that the DBS manga was born as a promotional product for the anime.

Modern shows like X-Men 97' has fights with blood. I don't see why Daima couldn't take a different approach from Super, having more fights depicting blood.

It saddens me to see that 80% of the people who support the March 8 date, take the opportunity to say something against Women's Day, which makes me think that it's not a sincere petition for the love of Dragon Ball, they're looking to fight another thing...
