Kanzenshuu

Do you seriously judge if a piece of media is good or has a point based on it being canon or not alone?

This has been going on well before this revival began. GT and the old Z movies were regularly judged negatively solely based on them not being directly written by Toriyama. It turns out that ...

I don't know which was "better", because I don't know how you determine that, I can only speak what I personally liked.

And here's how it is. | like Super the most. The anime more than the manga. Unlike a lot of people, I actually felt the manga was lazy and rushed compared to the anime, for the ...

There are contradictions within the main manga as well. For example, Vegeta says he's the strongest in the universe in the Saiyan saga. Then we learn Freeza is actually the strongest in the next arc. But then in the Buu saga, we learn that Kaioshin is even stronger than Freeza. Are the Buu ...

Daima is canon as far as I'm concerned, and so is Super.

Most incosistencies can be explained away with a litttle creativity, and even if you cannot do that, it doesn't matter. There are contradictions within the main manga as well. For example, Vegeta says he's the strongest in the universe in the ...

Kid Buu is definitely stronger in the anime continuity. There are 3 direct statements. You think that the anime is irrelevant because it's "filler", Toriyama was not involved, etc? Fine. I disagree. The anime is an official product and for me, it has legitimacy. You have no right to tell me that ...

I agree with the OP 100%.

In fact, it's very interesting that you bring up Luffy. I had an argument with a friend a few years ago, he claimed that Goku and Luffy are basically identical characters.

I disagreed, and this point about adventures was one of the things I brought up in response.

It's ...

How do people interpret the statement that Gamma 1 & 2 are on-par with Goku and Vegeta?

This would mean Orange Piccolo is stronger than Goku, which I think is nonsense.

"Is it necessary?" is kind of a hard thing to answer. You have all the basics from the TV series, but the manga has certainly done its own things along the way that are kiiiiiind of unique to it. The biggest thing here is perhaps the usage of Super Saiyan God vs. Super Saiyan Blue and their own ...

I am approaching the end of the Super anime and I want to know how to get into the manga.

1. Is it necessary to read the arcs that are covered by the anime in order to understand the rest?

2. Even if it's not necessary, would you recommend it? Is there value in reading the same stories told a ...

The second one is not from Toriyama, it's a comment added by the interviewer in an interview with Toriyama

I don't think the comment is by the interviewer (it's not by Toriyama either), it was a side comment from people who put the Daizenshuu together; making it as legitimate as any other ...

Why is it impossible? Why wasn't he equally protective of Roshi? Tien doesn't care about Yamcha any more than he does for Roshi. Why didn't someone say: "Um, Roshi, buddy, sorry to say, but you're an old geezer who's really no better than Chaotzu and Yamcha. Perhaps you should step back and let us ...

While I do agree with the Super vs. Kid debate lacking a final saying, even though there's more and more substantial evidence is favor of the first, I'm not addressing Super vs. Kid or Goku vs. Gohan entirely here, I'm addressing one particular argument used rather often in this kind of debates ...

Since Chaotzu and Yamcha were left out of the fight because of their inferior strength, Roshi must at least be above them. And how strong was Yamcha, again? Stronger than Raditz, right?

And that was way back in the Saiyan saga. Yamcha later showed up to fight the Androids, who are supposed to much ...

It shouldn't be in the Rumor Guide, because despite everything you list as evidence, it is still highly controversial and there are many people who disagree. For example, the anime says Kid Buu is the strongest Buu. There are people who consider the anime canon. These people, therefore, quite ...

With all the indredible showings of destructive capacity from Dragon Ball Super, there's no reason to think Cell couldn't destroy a solar system.

So, is it true that the scenario for the DBS manga is written by Toriyama? If not, who is written by?

Genki, yuuki and shouki are, apparently, both types of ki, as well as sub-components of it. Not sure if that makes sense.

When Goku revisits him in the Piccolo arc, Karin says Goku is already stronger than him and that he has nothing more to teach Goku.

Doesn't he say that he is almost stronger than himself?

EDIT:

OK, I see.


Karin: “Unfortunately…There’s nothing more for me to teach you…[ ] Yeah…I understand ...

Ah, but genki isn't "energy" as in...electricity, or fuel, or what have you. It's more like energy as in...being in high spirits. Like the other components, it's more of a feeling than something tangible.

Yeah, I am starting to lean towards this interpretation. I'm getting the impression that the ...

I would repeat what has been said several times in this thread already, about this being fiction where different laws of physics apply, but since I expect what the comeback would be, I'll address it immediately: I go by the principle of assuming every law is the same as in the real world... unless ...
