Re: The various sets of Dragon Balls at this point
^ Nice points.
I'll probably add the creators at some point, it's a nice touch.
I think we can't call stuff like the Demon Realm Dragon "Ultimate Polunga" just because we feel like it, the thread is supposed to gather the info we got from what is being clearly stated/shown. For Daima, the only ...

Re: What did the Super anime mean with the "brief parting" before it got cancelled?
Was it a hint towards the Broly movie?
Were they hoping to get renewed in a year or so?
I don't think it had anything to do with the manga, since I believe that's a separate continuity.
It's been 6 years ago so it made me wonder.
Toriyama's comment said the anime would be ending "for now" and ...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"
Watched it for first time, only checked part of Super adaptation before :)
I still think it would be way better, if Freeza was brought back shortly after he died to Trunks and he kept training during this whole time. All that "i need just few months of train, because I'm prodigy" is such BS, even ...

Re: Series character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru says a Dragon Ball remake is possible

Re: Series character designer Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru says a Dragon Ball remake is possible
I didn't overly love Daima as a show, but one thing I don't think anyone can really claim is that it was badly animated. It had its issues with the storyboarding and directing, and honestly I didn't care for the character designs much, but the show, even at its absolute worst, still looked fairly ...

Re: What was Toyotaro's involvement with the production of the Dragon Ball Super TV series?
Did each person adapt Toriyama's outline in their own way without communicating with each other?
Pretty much, although there are exceptions. It was Toyotaro's idea to bring Vegetto back, which both Toei and Toriyama greed to. Omen and Blue Evolution were Toei ideas that Toyotaro adapted into ...

Re: Daima to Super Connection
It's absolutely crazy to me people are doing to still fit Daima into DBS, from the moment Shin defused it was obviously it was a new continuity. I watched BoG in theatres day after the last episode of Daima there is absolutely no way the two fit at all.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread
You can't keep writing off canon. It's clearly important to the fandom (and to maintaining good stories in general).
The problem with an established canon is that it prioritizes certain material over others, which in turn can end up costing the rights holders $$$. If they were to come out and ...

Re: Why does the majority of English-speaking DB fans hate Daima?
I would say Japanese fans were equally if not far more brutal to Daima. A lot of them were not very happy about the script writing and especially the characterization of Goku got and didn't hold back in their criticisms, one person even made a thorough in depth article about why the pacing of the ...

Re: Daima to Super Connection
So all this time in Super he's been building off of this core idea of these powerful Gods that wasn't actually his idea in the first place. So it makes sense that it's not something he would automatically retain as a core element of his vision when working on an unrelated project.
If I recall ...

Re: If Daima becomes non-canon to Super, then what was the point?
Maybe it's just its own story.
The simplest answers are usually the correct ones. Super is a convoluted mess, so Toriyama may have just wanted a fresh start after Buu.
The fact SUPER HERO was effectively a stand alone movie (the only tie to anything modern DB was literally a filler scene) I ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread
From the moment Shin defused it was never tieing to DBS, I don't know why people thought it would. The only references to DBS was via exposition to the audience as visual representation, Gowasu etc didn't actually appear in the show.

Do you have concrete sources on that or is it just Internet hearsay?
Merchandise and game sales were at an all time high during Super's run. Super's two movies were by far the most successful in the entire franchise. Super's manga, which is published in a side magazine, has continued to ...

Re: If Daima becomes non-canon to Super, then what was the point?
Honestly, seeing the entire fandom, including people like Geekdom101 or MasakoX being SO SURE that Daima will tie-in to Super and not at all contradict it is just so funny to me. Like, it's so obvious by now that to Toriyama and the other creatives involved with Daima, that wasn't a concern to ...

Sorry by timeline placement I meant series placement like they haven't specified it takes place before DBS they just keep saying it's after Buu arc.JulieYBM wrote: Mon Feb 17, 2025 12:58 pm Trunks is turning nine in the first episode of Daima, so that places it less than a year after the Majin Buu arc.

I like the design! I think the hair spiking up suits Vegeta much better than flowing down does never was a fan how it looked in DBH etc.
