Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Why some people dislike this plotline/ending so much? Does it not make the story more complex and interesting? It would be "nice" if it was as simple as "Trunks wanted to save people with time travel so he should be rewarded", but Toriyama/Toei/Toyotaro wanted a slightly more co...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

You definitely could tell more stories about Goku learning to turn on Ultra Instinct at will, but I don't think that needed to happen for the story to "end properly". "Super" opens with the introduction of the God of Destruction, and the revelation that there are multiple univer...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

How do you guys feel about the theory that this is more of a fun little spinoff than an actual continuation of Dragon Ball? (eg. Naruto Rock Lee series or Attack on Titan high school) That's what I've been thinking. It seems unlikely SH would be last in the Super continuity since it wasn't very con...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

It was Kozo Morishita Thanks! I remember reading about it before but couldn't remember where exactly. Wow! You know, that's been my mind of Daima thus far. Maybe this is too far-reaching of a prediction, but I've been wondering... what if Daima is meant to be something of a "VERY soft reboot&q...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

I don't know why people keep repeating this nonsense. Did they forget that the anime came first and was the main product? That the manga initially served only to promote the series? DBS (anime) was never adapted from anything other than the outlines that Toriyama provided to both Toei and Toyotaro....

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Well I'm thinking about how much story is shown over time and how long some scenes are, and I keep DBM's publication rate in mind, which, I feel it got worse over time, and a lot of it is simply because of the flashbacks, which are comparable to the fillers from the DB anime, which certainly helped...

Re: Absurdities of claiming that canon does not exist

I recall Herms explaining there's no word in Japanese for "canon" or at least not in the same way it's used in western media. There are obviously different continuties but no official distinction between canon and non-canon. I prefer to consider the original manga as the main continuity an...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Which would be fine, you don't need to make specials about pointless, redundant stuff like the origins of Broly's nose hair, DBM tries to add too much to its world while failing at telling interesting stories during the flashbacks, so I see breaks as more beneficial than telling a boring filler. Th...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Thing is that DBM tells the story slowly while also having infinite flashbacks and showing pages of stuff being explained and splash pages when there's no need. Possibly the worst moment from DBM's main chapters was Hatchiyack's mere existence, like half a chapter wasted with him screaming when the...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Fair enough, but I feel that DBM's bad pacing is more noticeable given its more consistent publication and how much nothing happens, and so, so many pointless flashback chapters... I think comments about pacing in a fan comic are treating pacing and release as the same thing. I guess it would be li...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

It's incredible that DBM's pacing is so bad that I can stop reading it for an year or two, and I can catch up with the relevant bits in like 10 minutes. To be honest that's usually how long to takes to catch up on any fan comic yearly. I check the ongoing ones on the list every few months or once a...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

There's other feats and scaling that contradicts it. We know zamasu is ss2 tier and we know shin was around ss1. And that ss2 is 100x base so Goku can't have got over 50x stronger than the buu saga or he'd have wrecked trunks and zamas more than he did. Maybe it effects god ki users/effects them mo...

AnimeAjay is the only one I trust since he's a moderator here. Kanzenshuu only deals with facts and not misinformation, clickbait, or other baseless shenanigans you see on social media. It's only two weeks away so we'll find out soon if any of these leaks are true.

How do Geekdom and the others know about this and in great detail but not actual leakers from Japan? That's what I've wondered. I recall they've had some wrong "insider information" before so I don't know how true these are. I'm not sure what anyone in the industry would gain by leaking t...

Re: Hypothetically, what would be the better story?

I think it's time to move forward with DB Online. We have GT as an alternate route, a what-if of sorts. We have DBS, there's no need to bridge them together, I'd rather see the story move forward past EoZ with DBO in mind. Xenoverse and Heroes include DBO. They seem to treat every official release ...

Re: Hypothetically, what would be the better story?

DBS kinda already covered some of the ideas used in GT. Blackstar Dragonballs were a new stronger set spread across the universe and the Super Dragonballs are an even stronger set spread across two universes. Baby and Copy Vegeta have Vegeta's body taken over by an alien parasite. Baby and Granolah ...

Yeah, everyone's gonna have a different point where they draw the line, and why that's the place where the line is drawn. From my perspective, it's often unclear (either due to murky reasoning, or to reasoning which has gone entirely unstated) why someone is drawing a line at the specific spot wher...
