Especially since Boruto, if I'm not mistaken, is very unpopular and isn't doing well in sales, it was even dropped out of weekly jump. This is despite Boruto being the official sequel of Naruto Shippuden and supervised by Kishimoto himself. So it's not like Super had "everything handed to him" just...

Compare TV ratings, box office revenue and merch sales. Super outdid the rest of the series and GT didn't do as well as Z. DBS had the lowest TV ratings out of any DB series including Kai. TV ratings are declining in general so it might not be the best measure of success. The recent movies had the ...

I also think this is likely, but there's still a chance they cut out the anime entirely and focus on movies instead. If they can bring in even half the numbers DS is currently doing, wouldn't it make more sense financially to release a movie every 2 years instead of every 3-4 ? Broly's budget was a...

I feel a concept becomes less iconic the more often it's repeated in story. Even as a kid, I thought SSJ3 was going too far and would've preferred SSJ2 or "Ascended SSJ" was the last transformation. I've read a lot of fanfiction/comics so my reaction to new transformations in DBS as been the same an...

I had this comment in the DB manga thread but it was when chapter 64 was released so it was lost in the comments...or maybe it was dumb so no one wanted to reply :?. I could be wrong since this is only my interpretation of Goku's development. Goku was more willing to kill in DB like he when he wiped...

I think all these estimates could be accurate since the gap between these characters seems to be small. If Beerus is a 1, all the characters implied to be stronger than him (Vegetto, Jiren, Broly, Gogeta, MUI, and Angel Moro), might still be between 1 and 2. Also this chapter implies that MUI is mor...

I dont know, I dont see any reason why it wouldn't be, but I guess we'll have to wait 15 years and see if some mangaka specifically mentions Super as being an influence on them. To be honest, I don't see that happening. A revival is to celebrate a popular series which is why we get so much fan serv...

it really isn’t up to Toei to make a new Dragon Ball series with Toriyama. That actually falls into the owners if SJ since Toei is just an animation partner. It’s obvious that Super was rushed because of the success of Resurrection ‘F’ and they wanted to strike when the iron was hot. While Toei pro...

Sailor Moon Crystal had similar production issues despite it being bi-monthly. And most new series starts as manga in Japan. There are very few anime originals that isn’t based on a manga or legecy series. That and Toei actually didn’t have much say in Super’s rush production since the actual owner...

In my opinion, writing Goku to be ruthless and merciless would be character assassination, not character development. But have it your own way. I think Goku was more willing to kill after Freeza saga and came to the realization that some people are too evil to let live. -We know he killed Freeza an...

That is lot of bulk. When you used that logic, Dragon Ball GT and Evolution would have sold gangbusters since it’s all Dragon Ball. Same with Dragon Ball Kai which was considered a failure in Japan. I think it goes without saying that Toriyama being involved is going to attract more attention. Toei...

He wouldn't even have to train seriously for either, just a few push ups and some juice should be enough. This is after all the same series that made #17 just as strong as Blue by working in the woods. In the manga, Goku said "#17 didn't do much of anything and about as strong as us" or something l...

toyotaro acts like a "nostalgic" super fan and not a "current fan" and that's a problem .... Could you explain the difference because I don't know why Toyotaro would be singled out here. The younger staff working on a revival years later are usually nostalgic super fans who grew up with the origina...

I am also neutral, I don't really care. I am an anime watcher but it's not like I'm a Toei fanboy or anything (I've even been very critical of Toei in the past). Regardless, I think it's disingenuous to bring up the anime inconsistencies in a discussion about Toyotaro because... well, as I said, th...

It's kind of sad when people defend Toyotaro by saying "well the anime also has bad writing"; because the anime is several writers all doing the same story, so of course there will be contradictions and inconsistencies. Meanwhile Toyotaro is one man, one writer, who has everything under his control...

While I definitely think having an intrinsically 'weaker' body is much less relevant than it otherwise would be when it comes to the technique and its principles as expressed or demonstrated so far (see: Roshi), it nevertheless still seems to make some sort of sense to suppose an intrinsically 'str...

Interview with V-Jump editor (and mascot for public appearances) “Victory” Uchida, on editing Dragon Ball Super: Source: https://twitter.com/Cipher_db/status/1316351523715084289 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkSePBPVoAERrVw?format=png&name=900x900 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EkSedizVgAAZKUw?format=pn...

I mean, Toriyama is more an editor than a writer now, and i can see him taking a backseat approach with how burnt out he got from editor involvement. I think Tori just needs to be a bit more aggressive in his editing approach and not be afraid to tell Toyo no. Tori's best work arguably came from wh...

I've already explained why the bog thing isn't to take at face value, and literally every power scaler I know and respect thinks the same for what matters. If Toriyama intended for what Beerus said to be wrong, he could've had Goku dispute it or simply not include the line in the first place. That ...

I think Toriyama’s past his prime. He’s made some weird additions/revisions to the story that I don’t care for, and he seems to just go along with whatever fanservicey ideas or suggestions he’s met with. Would this be an unpopular opinion? Is there any author not past their prime by that age? Most ...
