Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Silver UI still is and always was stronger than TUI, Goku just couldn't use it properly in the Granolah arc because he couldn't keep his emotions in check. Once he's knocked out, it's silver and the ki Avatar that manifest. I'm not sure Goku has any reason to lose his composure in this fight so he s...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Yep, as I thought. Leaks are out and they seem to be evenly matched. Even if Gohan is holding back, this isn't a Freeza level performance.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I may be proven wrong over the next few months but I very much doubt we'll see Gohan one shotting Goku to place him at Freeza's level.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread

The graphics don't look bad but the game is lacking some of the attention to detail of the originals. I hope they fix the auras. The flow-y loose auras work for the God forms but the standard Super Saiyans need the old spiky intense auras. The BT games mimicked the anime almost perfectly with them. ...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I love how stern of a father Goku is in the Toei movies. Telling Gohan in the Bojack film to "stop being a pampered baby" and asking Goten and Gohan in the Broly movie "can't you protect the Earth if I'm not around?" He's not exactly a soft pushover of a father in Toriyama's Drag...

Re: SPARKING! ZERO - Visual Roster Checker

Extremely disappointed we're getting several versions of Goku and Vegeta instead of having one character with interchangeable outfits and movesets like the Raging Blast games. It's one BT tradition they should have done away with. I wonder if Goku Super will include all the other Super Saiyan forms....

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I'll laugh so hard if Nakatsuru was brought back because he designed Super Saiyan 4 and Daima is going to use it. I doubt that will happen, but I'll take it! You know, I really hope this doesn't happen. I'm pretty sure if Toriyama ever attempted to "Toriyamafy" SSJ4, he would annihilate e...

Did we hear Nozawa at all? Because if not then two trailers so far without voice acting may indicate they're replacing the VAs.

Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?

For the sake of completeness, or is that a moot point by now considering two movies have already been skipped? For those that say yes, if Daima takes place chronologically in a different time period (before the events of Superhero/the current arc), would you still want it to be adapted, or is the id...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

It's a bit odd we're already one chapter into this new arc or whatever this is and we have no indication of what it is. The Moro arc presented Moro in promotional material right away, the Granolah arc presented Granolah right away and the Superhero arc showcased the mini Goten and Trunks arc in the ...

Re: Anyone else have the feeling that Toriyama didn't like the Multiverse & Gods concepts?

I don't think he has an interest to explore the concepts to their fullest extent. His stories are largely character-focused, with a limited focus on a few characters despite the seemingly wide scope premises. He uses the multiverse as a backdrop to write competent and concise character arcs. It does...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I know all promotional material points towards Beast being stronger than UI and UE but the fact that Gohan can whip it out so casually can maybe indicate that it's not as strong. Toyotaro likes to give the strongest forms some sort of handicap and it doesn't seem like Beast has one yet, so from a na...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread

I wonder what Goku says to Vegeta in the original Japanese. "Highlight of your lifetime" is a cute little line but not something I can imagine Super!Goku saying. Would be happy to be proven wrong, though. Always love when Goku gets petty or snarky with Vegeta.

Lack of Dragon Ball on Spotify

Just wondering if it's a license issue considering a lot of other anime have a full soundtrack listed. I was assuming at least the insert songs or the OPs and EDs of the anime and videogames would be listed, but it seems only live versions and covers are.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I was wondering if the series had to permanently kill off characters, I think Vegeta would be the only one I'd kill off, in the Boo arc. He doesn't do enough post-sacrifice or in Super to warrant such a prominent role in the story. His speech about Goku being #1 could have been reworked somewhere be...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Was it ever made clear where Base Goku's strength was meant to be in Super in the end of not? Are we still meant to believe that Base Cabba, Base Caulifla and basically anyone above that is still well above Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks or what? In the manga we have no indications Goku and Vegeta's base f...

With the benefit of hindsight, would you reorder the series' arcs differently?

I was thinking about this the other day because the Zamasu and ToP arcs feel now like very "endgame" arcs that contrast a lot with the smaller scale and narrower scope movies and arcs that followed them. Considering we have now the benefit of retrospective and hindsight, which arcs would y...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I still think UI Goku in the Moro arc is his strongest version right now. The Granolah arc repeatedly implies Goku can't access the full power (outside of the Avatar state at the very end) of Ultra Instinct because of his internal conflict. "True" UI is just Sign.
