So uh, what’s up with all the power levels and color changes at this point. I keep dipping out of modern Dragonball but pop back in once in a while when something crazy hits the internet. Are we basically just making Mattel manga/anime for toy sales?

The easy answer to this is: yes.

I might give this one a shot. I tried getting into the other DBZ TCG and that was absolutely a non-starter as no game shop seemed to support it.

If super ever decides to recontextualize EoZ--it certainly won't happen in a video game.

I didn't really care for this chapter otherwise. 50+ pages of pointless sparring does not a Toriyama-crafted DB make. Toyo my boyo, get to the premise of the next arc or at least conclude the manga if there's no story left to tell. This is aimless and tacked on. These are all good, unassailable poi...

With GT, Goku's power was the same as an adult. With Daima, it would be more interesting if he has to fight without Super Saiyan and his power level is now back to how it was during the Pilaf saga. I agree with this. Cause if it's just going to be more of the same with Ki blasts and transformations...

Like I say dozens of times...they will never mess with EoZ, it's just not going to happen. So I don't think anyone should be surprised that the game keeps vague or doesn't mention at all anything that happens in Super. It would require massive restructuring of that epilogue to make it work, never mi...

Just watched the new trailer. While I liked what I've seen from the gameplay, it also raised me some concerns about how they'll handle some version of the characters, specially the fusions: Vegetto (Blue): I really hope they don't make this guy as a separate character. It would be a waste of a char...

Despite there being little in terms of plot info, I really like what I saw. Loved the emphasis on more grounded martial arts (particularly those moments that scream Jackie Chan) and I thought the animation looked good. Nothing here that dismisses the idea that this is happening in some alternate un...

No way they do that. The amount of shit they’d get from it would be astronomical.


As far as Z is concerned, EoZ is holy scripture: they won’t mess with it.

This all supposed that there was any planning for Dragon Ball Super, which—come on we all know better.

The easy answer is: a combination of trying to make a 40 year old shounen character appeal to children and bad writing.

Well what the fuck do you know? This was actually a pretty decent chapter. Fun character moments! Plot progression! A year late? Sure, but it’s something.

And hey Black Freeza mention! I’m actually interested to see what happens next chapter. Good Job DBS!

Besides, there are other stories that DBS is teasing besides Goku meeting Uub. After all, Black Frieza's still out there, and Vegeta is still waiting to go the Planet Sadala. So after Goku meets Uub, those two plot points could be the next big goalposts for Super as a whole. I just don't want Super...

What would a DB remake give us besides cutting out filler and new animation? Honestly...this is kinda where I am too. What would be the point? Especially since I think modern DB looks like shit compared to the OG, I just don't see "the same anime with a visual upgrade" all that appealing....

Here's the thing: The announcement calls this adaptation "fresh but familiar" from the anime adaptation. Ideally Netflix is doing this because a bunch of people are now interested in the anime thanks to the live-action show. If the barrier of entry for newbies is the length of the anime an...

I'm glad this arc is over, not because I didn't enjoy it, I really did, I'm glad it's over so people can stop complaining. I'm glad we had this retelling, it makes the manga feel more complete. They definitely enhanced a lot of elements which honestly improved on the movie. The only real nitpick I ...

Now that I think about it, another good reason they haven't done Buu outside of the bits is probably because Goku stating he wanted to give Trunks & Goten a chance to fight Buu while fused undermines his character arc's conclusion at the end of the Cell Saga. No..it doesn't? This ignores a big,...

Seeing Gohan giving Goku piece of his mind was so satisfying, maybe if someone did that in actual show, he wouldn't act like that with Buu, Freeza or Granolah... Now that I think about it, another good reason they haven't done Buu outside of the bits is probably because Goku stating he wanted to gi...

There's an extreme lack of self awareness when people are complaining about "toxic" dub lovers and then taking the extreme position of "wanting to sacrifice the entirety of the fandom because some people prefer the dubisms." Gatekeeping is toxic. Always has been always will, and ...

just a reminder: The Super Hero arc started almost a year ago on December 2022.


But yes, I guess next month we'll finally get to see where DBS ends up. Do we go into the next arc, or do we go into another hiatus?
