You know what, this thread made me revisit some old wounds I received on this very forum. I remember thinking about Cabba being the possible LSSJ and everyone including moderators saying that LSSJ doesn’t exist to the point where the thread got locked.. looks like Toriyama doesn’t give a crap about ...

My issue with this is that they had a perfect out always available. Just give them all Kaioken and non saiyans could have been as strong as the plot required at any time. Up against Frieza? No problem kaioken x 1 million. Probably wouldn't even be enough since Freeza has more power in his pinky tha...

Toriyama.

Everything wrong with Dragon Ball in general, arguably!

And everything right. It's all on him, though I give the editors, mainly Torishima-san, tons of credit all the time.

Accurate. All of it

Just popping in here but my head cannon has always had Baby’s power as additive rather than multiplier to Vegeta’s. I.e. Vegeta SSJ2 + Baby solo(SSJ3 level) would out class SSJ3 Goku. I see the SSJ4 as a 10x multiplier on the base SSJ1-2 state. So when Baby Vegeta goes Ape, it’s 10xSSJ2 Vegeta + SSJ...

And this is all that needs to be said

Pretty much since the first episodes. Standouts: Goku is lazy and let’s Goten drive his tractor knowing that’s his source of income. Goku and Goten proceed to tear up their farming field. Goku has trouble understanding the among of Denny being given to him. Dub actually makes it worse because in the...

Yeah I agree that Toriyama knows how to write Dragon Ball better than anyone else. Even just structurally and thematically, Super is so much better and more consistent than GT, you can really tell that Toriyama is planning it. Although to be fair Dragon Ball Heroes is meant to be just a fun videoga...

Depends on what's being created and how serious the author is about the piece. Nope, no caveats to my statement. I fully believe that it's all incumbent on the original author. They can do anything they want to with their baby. That Toriyama made moves to make the series more popular in the earlier...

this post made me audible laugh

Man, I just can not bring myself to care about Bardock AT ALL.. I mean he’s cool enough I guess but in either iteration of the character I never saw him as some Uber bad ass like so many fans seem to. Ah well, as long as this chapter pushes the story forward I’m game. I’m looking forward to the eve...

Granola seems to only be interested in his mother and not his entire race. A billion is a statistic. 1 person is a tragedy. It's hard to wrap your head around a billion, million, thousand, or hundred strangers dying. But when someone close dies, it feels like the end of the world. That's just peopl...

Alright, so: 1- Despite Toriyama saying Bardock, Gine, Raditz and Goku were never together, this chapter does feature all of them almost in the same place. Save for Raditz who is playing just outside the house (a missed opportunity to ignore Toriyama's nonsensical words and feature all of them toge...

This new characterization of Bardock in the spoilers lines up with how DBS Broly made him even nicer than he was in Minus. No doubt this is Toriyama influence. Superman-Goku strikes again. Makes you wonder why it took a bump on the head to calm Goku down in the original manga and why the heck Radit...

I know I kinda kicked off the argument of Toyotarou vs Toriyama, but my criticism was actually bigger than that so I’ll just say it flat out: My opinion is that Toriyama has hit a creative slump with his Dragonball series. If he had more stories to tell he would write them himself. It’s unfair to ju...

I really really really don’t get this purist viewpoint. Toriyama is involved and has final say-so over the product. Nothing goes out without him looking at it. There's nothing "purist" here, though. I'm not talking about approval, I'm talking about who had the idea to use Bardock for this...

Just so we are all on the same page.. we are talking about just a manga right and not like the Bible or something? The story is whatever the creator says it is and this is what the creator says it is. It’s really that simple. Yes we're still talking about manga, if something hasn't appear in the te...

I really really really don’t get this purist viewpoint. Toriyama is involved and has final say-so over the product. Nothing goes out without him looking at it. If Toriyama approves it then, he is 100000000% responsible for it. It’s his to own if he approves it enough to put his stamp of approval an...

Why would Toriyama bother with Bardock's team that was designed and developed for the TV special? And how is giving Bardock a new armor a sign of not bothering with something? If anything, it's the other way around. He bothered himself enough to give him a newly designed armor. And by the looks of ...
