Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I still believe Goten and Trunks will get the short end of the stick in Dragon Ball Daima, just like they got the short end of the stick in DBS Anime. GT Pan was treated way better than DBS Anime Goten and Trunks. Unfortunately, I think you're right. Toriyama doesn't seem like he really wants to do...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Where do we rank Cell Max in the manga? Toriyama's comment about him should still apply so he should be below Broly. Ultimate Gohan knocked him on his ass. He couldn't even do that to Saganbo. I wouldn't even rank Cell Max on the level of regular Moro. Depends on how Broly is meant to measure up in...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
I doubt that the Nyou-i-bou will break. That seems like a decisive move that Toriyama would not go for. Definitely not. He'd probably save that for a particularly dramatic moment in a full-on proper story arc with major stakes, since it'd mark the death of Goku's childhood in a sense. And given how...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga
I think, at the end of the day, for me the anime is better because it got me invested in it, interested in it in ways the manga couldn't. The manga just kinda lacks the soul and spirit of DB that I crave. It's competently drawn and written, but I just can't emotionally resonate with it. For example,...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga
I vastly prefer the anime overall. It hits those emotional beats HARD when it really gets going, it's great to see the movement and action of the characters in motion, and the voice-acting gives it an experience you really can't match. Being more "consistent" really doesn't matter if it ca...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
You know what would be kinda funny? If Toriyama did this to create an opportunity to physically de-age everyone, and make it so that they're all inexplicably somewhat physically younger by the time they get aged back up, thus in a roundabout way "fixing" his idea of the cast being too old ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)
It's nice to see Kid Goku's most iconic piece of equipment back.
I wonder what Chibi Vegeta will think of it.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The rof chapter was strictly a promotion and isn't included in the tanbokens while randomass anime festival bonus chapters are. I mean, the Resurrection 'F' manga chapters were just that: manga chapters for the theatrical film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' . They were produced before Super existe...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
OR.... Super Saiyan Vegeta is just that strong, and Goku is as well, cementing Goku and Vegeta in their base forms as above the likes of Shin and Cell by this point in the timeline even in the manga. After all, Goku needs to be taking on Uub in just a few short years. Goku vs. Trunks (manga...well,...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Also, Super Saiyan Vegeta was beating down Super Saiyan Goku Black in that story arc in the manga. Given the lack of any real special mention that would point to it being a mutated form compared to Future Trunks's own SS2 form in the manga, we can only assume it's his normal Super Saiyan form. And ...

Re: Why is Goku bored?
They could re-frame the original ending as being that Goku realizes that he can't just wait around for new exciting challenges anymore and takes the initiative to train up a new generation of fighters to become those challengers, and to prepare them for whatever exciting battles they'll inevitably f...

Re: Why is Goku bored?
I definitely think a case can be made for how Goku always wants to seek NEW challenges, and not just re-test himself against the people he knows. Why fight Vegeta again when you can fight someone entirely new that'll present a completely unknown challenge you have to adapt to over the course of the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
In the film at least, it seems to follow the anime's overall line of logic of base Gohan and Piccolo being comparable, themselves comparable to base Goku and Vegeta who are far and away above Super Saiyan Trunks and Goten. I don't think Goku and Vegeta got 50x stronger from the Boo arc to Superhero...

Re: Dragon Ball Magic? *RUMOR*
I think it's all a case where, even if the information itself can be reliable at the time, the actual internal politics and resource shuffling makes things easily subject to change. As we've learned with the Iyoku situation, we shouldn't doubt how much internal struggle there can be in the Dragon Ro...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
The way I see it, Broly is more attuned to being a berserker because he already had fighting discipline beforehand and maintained at least a bit of that when he went Super Saiyan.
Meanwhile, Cell Max started out as a berserker without any real proper fighting experience programmed in yet.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
The funny thing is Akira Toriyama wanted Piccolo to be the lead for Super Hero but Akio Iyoku pushed for Gohan. I'd imagine Iyoku is more aware of the iconography of Gohan vs Cell, and wanted to emulate that with Gohan Beast vs Cell Max, but Toriyama trusts Iyoku for these stories to be consistent ...

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?
I went with Pure Buu because he's clearly extremely skilled in martial arts when he puts his mind to it, and he already fights quite mindlessly despite his immense strength and skill. If he learned more martial arts discipline but retained that mindlessness as chaos incarnate, I think he could achie...

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?
Ironically enough, I think Pure Buu could've conceivably had a shot.
The dude was chaos incarnate, and I've no doubt that most of it is already mindless enough as is. All he needs to do is not revel in the chaos as much, and he's well on his way to becoming the most aggressive UI user around.
