Re: Unpopular DB opinions

There's also the matter of timing, I feel.
If they made a fabled ADOBENCHA Slice of Life hijinks thing while the franchise has a healthy output, as another one more thing to enjoy, I think it would be much much better received.
It's a matter of the cast too. You know where ADOBENCHA would actually ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3" Official Discussion Thread



Daima and GT being spoken about in the same breath, put together into the same category, in that one interview thing is super funny.
Game devs don't dictate the canon. I remember before Kakarot released it's entire hype period was that Toriyama worked closely with them too, and in the end we ...

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


...I have to imagine Shueisha's non-committal-ness is not fun for him, either. Even if he wanted to try and do something else, he might feel somewhat locked down by the fact that he doesn't know if or when he's gonna be called back to draw DBS again.


I feel bad for him in all honesty. He's in a ...

Also we don't have a way to know whether or not it is true that something came from Toriyama.

Sure, but the point others have made is that it shouldn't even matter whether something came from Toriyama or not. A product should be judged on its own merit, not who may or may ...

Re: How long after his passing the words "Toriyama wrote/designed/contributed" stop being belieable?

It''ll be 2050 and we'll have people who weren't even born by the time Toriyama died go "B-But it's by Toriyama! The plastered a sticker that said Toriyama on [product] so it's gotta be true! They wouldn't lie about this!"
Bonus: "It's automatically good because it says Toriyama™!" and "You can't ...

Re: Other Toriyama-related games

Gotta take all the By Toriyama™ with a massive grain of salt, as always. It'll be 2050 and they'll somehow still have Toriyama™ designs they magically found on some random cabinet.

The situation is looking real dire though. I never thought DQ would get hit by the SE special. Well, to be fair, we ...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

Zero fashion at all whatsoever. One of the coolest nicest most interesting details of Dragon Ball was how everyone was always getting a new outfit, new hairstyle, new look, etc on every arc, every new appearance. Which is actually pretty crazy in hindsight when changing a character design like that ...

Re: Would removing Neva's macguffin Super Saiyan 4 fix Daima for you?






I'm lost for words... being a villain means being badly written??? how is that bad writing? Morals dictate if the writing is good or not? Good writing would be having no villains, then?

A defense of GT Pan from a writing point of view? In 2026? Literally out of words, since we've beaten ...

I'll add that the while the manga tried to fix the meditation thing, it was just a band-aid at best.

Nothing but truth nukes left and right. God, I love Torishima so much its unreal.

That he doesn't think there's a single good manga today is a bit extreme but I can get the sentiment. That said, I have no idea what he's on about Hirayasumi though. I dropped it when it became the typical dragged on ...

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

I’m afraid the announced concept “Dragon Ball Super Re-Remake By Akira Toriyama – The Real Closest to Toriyama” is a bit of a marketing gimmick.
That's the joke.


Slapping the mangaka's name on a project and saying that they helped (usually with designs or on the script) is an unfortunate ...

That's why Satoshi remains ten years old, even after becoming the Champion of Alola in Sun & Moon and defeating ...

No one thought Ash would beat the Pokémon Leagues and no one thought Ash would get replaced as the main character, yet those things has recently happened.
