Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

10 million is huge! FighterZ 2 has to be in the works, it has so much potential.

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

The only thing that makes sense is that the status quo after Super Hero will be different enough that Toyotaro felt it was necessary to recap the story in order to give manga readers some context. I don't trust them. Everything feels like a whim, wouldn't be surprised if Gohan misses the next big f...

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

I don't mind the adaptation and was disappointed when RoF and Broly were skipped in the manga. However, the timing makes it all disconnected and as a reader I feel like there's no direction at all. Which gives me no confidence and little interest in the current arc which seems far too safe, more wor...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread

Seem like this will be a faithful retelling adding very little. Disappointing. Kuririn and the police angle seemed interesting, shame how it went nowhere. It added absolutely nothing to the story, besides continuing the plot about how the justice system is incompetent in the Dragon World. It's also ...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

This doesn't give me confidence for a FighterZ 2 release anytime soon... This patch seems like a buffer, plus with the new BT game likely in 2024. I'm guessing 2025 release date for an hypothetical FighterZ 2. Hope the patch is good! I was actually thinking we wouldn't get the new BT game until 202...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 90 - Official Discussion Thread

However the justice system delivered a puny sentence that almost led to massive destruction. Nah, the system worked. Very optimistic writing here. Hedo isn’t a bad guy, and his only crime was stealing bodies. He hasn’t done any tangible harm to anyone. If Justice is to be restorative, there’s not m...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 90 - Official Discussion Thread

Kuririn pretty much saved the World, with Goten and Trunks the sidekicks. However the justice system delivered a puny sentence that almost led to massive destruction. That's my takeaway from this mini arc. Kinda wished the focus was more on Kuririn plus the Gohan family and Piccolo. Half of this arc...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

On Dragon Ball Games social account they are advertising the DB Battle Hour 2023 event. As for FighterZ there is only the finals logo. I sincerely hope that at the end of the finals Hiroki-san will announce something other than another tournament... Man, FighterZ was the game that made me buy a PS4...

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

It's not padding because the DBS manga is not an adaption. The DBS manga IS the "main storyline", even if you happen to be more interested in certain parts than others. For an example of filler in DBS, think of the false Vegeta story added to the DBS anime. I don't think its really necess...

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

No, the definition of filler is new episodes or issues added to an existing work in order to pad out, or "fill" time in a schedule. For example, the false Namek storyline is filler because it was created by Toei in order to provide time for more manga issues to be created. Filler has noth...

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

This entire arc feels like filler. They are probably doing this while Toriyama is writing a new story arc in the meantime. Wait what? How is this in any way like "filler"? It's pretty much the definition of filler. It ignored the cliffhanger and consequences of the previous arc to focus o...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread

Nice to see Bra, hopefully she's just not another Bulma. Would be nice to see her pick up fighting as well. Honestly, I'm irrationally upset about this chapter because it kinda suggests exactly that, even if it's just part of a gag and I know it's just part of a gag. We really don't need Bulla to b...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread

Enjoyable chapter, liked it much more than the first.
It had this "enemy of the week" type show feel.

I mean, you cared enough to complain about it originally lol Plus yeah, it's not that deep beyond characterisation for present Trunks. You misunderstand. The story tells me Trunks doesn't care, therefore I don't care. Had the conflict been offered by someone like Bulma or Goten, people we know Trun...

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

In GT, Trunks was the President of Capsule Corp. He did not like the job, this is nothing new. I did not remember that. Perhaps it's just a reference. Have you possibly considered that maybe, as the heir to the biggest corporation in the world, the expectations that he will eventually take over (wh...

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

Trunks conflict about becoming CEO is so empty and un-Dragon Ball like. It's trying to add dimension to the character when such a thing is out-of-place. Are we supposed to believe such expectations were put on him by Bulma or his Grandfather? It's not believable. It's just one of the few things that...

Game has been done for a long time. Labcoat was an opportunity for easy money reusing assets they already had. Like said above, the last balance patch was solely because they released a broken character and people were up-in-arms. The rollback update only exists as a test for the sequel. They aren't...

Date for the rollback? Can't imagine anything else. A balance patch would be nice but I doubt I'll come back on their word.

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

So this will lead up and include Super Hero? If so I guess that's fine and far more interesting than a straight retelling. Hopefully it doesn't drag specially since it's "done" material. Goten and Trunks being fleshed out with some comedy sprinkled might be good. In their current state I h...
