Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I think Toei is slow-playing adapting the Manga into a series. I imagine if Super Hero does well across the world, a full Super anime series resumption is imminent. They are letting the manga get way ahead in the meantime. I still think they may go CG with the series if they can and maybe that just ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread
Nothing from the sneak peek suggests this arc is coming to a close any time soon. Really feeling the drag from the monthly release for the Manga. Granolah’s lifespan may literally end in real time by the time this arc concludes. We’re already well past an actual year into his three remaining since h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 82 - Official Discussion Thread
This fandom is so obsessed with power ups, transformations and the like. It’s the most boring aspect of the series because you can find transformations and power ups in every popular manga. The characters in this series are uniquely dragonball’s and you can’t find them elsewhere. Shouldn’t the obvi...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
being iconic is not the same as being popular. Being iconic is when people who have no idea about the franchise can still recognize where it comes from. Example: "five minutes, lol." Zamasu is no where near that, and likely will never be. It's all about context. DBZ came at a time in whic...

Re: WIth the success of the Sonic movie, is it time for Hollywood to revisit Dragon Ball?
Dragon Ball is an epic decades long tale that requires more than just a single film to translate properly. Especially to start getting into the meat of the action/iconic Z-era content. The origin story isn’t modern or narratively strong enough to carry a theatrical film in 2022 and is so far away fr...

Re: Why has Goku never taught anyone how to use Kaioken, Spirit Bomb, or Instant Transmission?
I think certain specialty techniques are just bound to their original users to share, possibly just on a level of respect. Kaio’s techniques are unique. Kaio-ken is known to be a very dangerous technique in its relevant multiples. Genki Dama I think is just the one technique Kaio had in his back poc...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 82 - Official Discussion Thread
Just throwing out a theory on Bardock here… “Listen to me…you two have to stay alive.” This line just alludes to there being some sort of power up in relation to protecting others. Some sort of tribal instinct power that requires Granolah and Monaito to remain alive in order for Bardock to have a fi...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
For the new generations that grow up with Super, Ultra Instinct will be more iconic than Super Saiyan and Zamasu will be more iconic than Frieza. We think Frieza is more iconic than Zamasu just because we grew up with DBZ; but when you actually think about the Story from an unbiased perspective, Za...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 82 - Official Discussion Thread
Most of my predictions are coming true for this chapter. A rarity! Here’s my next one… The erratic use of instantaneous movement across locations/planets is going to lead to Goku and Gas somehow being sent across time and space—- into the past. Goku is going to defeat past Gas with present Gas - af...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 81 - Official Discussion Thread
I think from a story standpoint, it's likely Goku and Gas are going to start off chapter 82 in a teleportation montage of various locales/planets - while continuing to battle. This is all part of Goku buying time for Granolah to be healed while also testing Gas' ability to keep up. I've been aggress...

Re: Has the focus on Saiyan in the series ruined the entire franchise?
Different strokes for different folks. One thing I think could be overlooked is that when side characters get their own episode or spotlight moment, it does help elevate the A-story moments with Goku / Vegeta in importance. Sometimes less is more. I think my biggest gripe with the “Saiyan” focus of ...

Re: Has the focus on Saiyan in the series ruined the entire franchise?
Good writing can elevate even the least powerful characters in the series. The tournament structure typically allows for weaker characters to face equally powered foes and still have drama. It didn’t really work so well in Super but that’s definitely the mechanism of it. The problem is the writing a...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
I think general opinion varies based on history with the series. A lot of us who had been waiting nearly 15-20 years for Toriyama continuing the story of Dragon Ball were the following upon details coming through: - used to viewing the films as non-canon engagements - very excited for BoG and it’s ...

Re: Has the focus on Saiyan in the series ruined the entire franchise?
The problem isn't necessarily with the Saiyans itself; the problem is the power creep that has occured throughout the franchise. This essentially locks the show in very predictable patterns: because only Saiyans can effectively move the plot, it almost inevitably becomes the Goku and Vegeta show as...

This is the first DB film with Disney owning the US distribution rights to - correct? I wonder if that has anything to do with delays in dubbed marketing material to date.

PreCure has had CG films while continuing to do hand drawn series. We're not getting a CG series for Dragon Ball any time soon. PreCure is no comparison.
