Re: Toyotaro is set to make an original manga.

This is great to hear! Finally he can grow as an actual storyteller and artist, unburdened by the confines of the IP. Hopefully his true fans stick by him.

As it will be unrelated to DB, future threads on his work should not be on Kanz anymore so they can find their own place and I encourage others ...

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

As a factoid, I like the idea of Yamcha fighting alongside everyone again. But there is no story to support any meaning behind this so all that is left is spectacle. Or at least, this could be left if Toyotaro actually depicted these fights -- we only see small windows in the form of some traced ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread



Xenoverse focuses too much on Saiyans, though. The other races need equivalent powerups. I don't know if they ever gave CaCs Orange or Beast forms, but those would be a way to power up Namekians and humans. Frieza's Black form could be added for Frieza race, but they seem to ignore manga-only ...

Re: What do you think Goku and friends did in the Afterliffe?

They were all having fun in heaven training with Paikuhan and the rest.

It would make sense for them to feel some urgency to act or help out (and really they would have the means to do so) but the story is that Trunks' world is doomed. It is also easy to imagine Goku would have received a body as ...

Zamasu specifically hates humans/ningen and his fellow gods for their inaction regarding humans. While it does stand to reason that he ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread


I’ve been wondering. There are still plenty of characters not in the game yet. Second and third form Frieza, Android 19 and 20, etc….Some of them are characters that should have been in the first game.

Could you see Dimps holding them until the third game to make the roster bigger? I could see ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread

Really like the capping off at the end with Daimao Koo. A quick wrap up happy ending delivered by an overeager but well-meaning fool. He is one of the really bright spots in this show.

As for the main fight, the animation remains incredible. The scenario really does a disservice to their work. It ...

Orange: Slug
Power Awakening: Saonel
Super Giant: Pirina
Golden: Kuriza

These abnormal Namekians can progress their strength this way and Piccolo can just train and fuse. Kuriza will transform in black & white as a gag.

Re: Will Vegeta get SSJ4

They seem to be promoting his SSJ3 pretty heavily so that is just his big new"step in this.

There also doesn't seem to be enough time left though all it would takes would be Neva noticing him. Maybe he will at least ask and be rejected so we can learn what Daima SSJ4 is supposed to be.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

A base form for adult Goku and Vegeta would also make their new forms a bit more viable for team ranked. That is not a concern of mine but I know it is the main thing for many players so maybe they do cover that. That would probably push out some other characters but they can always revisit this in ...

That was a great looking transformation scene at the end.

Glorio's arc is capped off in this. It reminds me a lot of the issues I had with DBS: Broly and SH where the character arcs are established and receive a heartfelt conclusion with anything in the way of substance between. I had thought this ...

Re: GT or Daima

The well-known adage is that GT had good ideas but bad execution. Daima has bad ideas but good execution.

In this way, I think they cancel each other out so I will just say I enjoy them both equally without any preference.

Well, there isn't too much to say about the story about this point. I said the same last week but I can at least enjoy the action on the level of a DBZ movie. The show actively avoided building any dynamic between Goku and Gomah so they are just kind of duking it out for the sake of action. Not too ...

Bio-Broli is not even making either of these lists...I think it safe to guess that most of the BT3 characters will return aside from the Oozaru but we will how long they can keep interest in this.

Re: Producer confirms Daima was made for GT fans

It was clear from the get-go that this show is a tribute to GT. I am not sure why they would choose this more divisive part of GT and not the retooled Baby arc+ part but I guess they ran the numbers.

All in all I would say redoing GT isn't a good idea but the execution isn't all that bad.

Re: SPARKING! ZERO - Visual Costumes Checker


I feel this has almost always been the case in DB games. They seem to be very rigid on keeping things separate. I believe that's why just giving us "x version of character as an alternate costume" is something very rare. The only times I can remember this are within the Budokai series where we got ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 16 - Official Discussion Thread



And then Goku and Vegeta just stand there during the confrontation.

They stood there because Degesu had a gun to Dende's head. Even teleportation was probably seen as too risky, given the circumstances.

There's a reason Panzy and Glorio took a sneakier approach.


That much is obvious. Panzy ...
