Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

What if he could rightfully direct their anger toward Beerus instead? People who throw this idea around are people who just don't get the tone of Dragonball in any sense of the word. If it gets brought up, the characters will shrug it off. Beerus himself tells Vegeta about this at the beginning of ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Uhm, okay. I don’t think you said anything I didn’t say. There are smatterings of times where Toei doesn’t go “jacked guy big power” and there are smatterings of times where Toriyama goes “jacked guy big power”. There are no absolutes in the universe, my guy. We define things based on trends. The tr...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Well he wasn't too far off since a version of Broly ended up being close to Beerus' power. I'm pretty sure Toriyama did design the original LSSJ Broly though. This treated as Toriyama's usual style now but it wasn't that common in the original series. I think that's why it was a subversion because ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Only in some aspects. Yes, obviously. That's why I said "closer". If you look at any random cover of this manga, characters are posed in ways Toriyama never would, usually from very dynamic perspectives that Toriyama never used. That's his own flair he's throwing in, as any decent artist ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

If Hakaishin Toppo is anything to go by, a “True” Ultra Ego Vegeta is only gonna look more monstrous.. Probably with a more reddish skin tone. Could be pretty cool. If Hakaishin Top is anything to go by, I do not want to see that anime-ism introduced into the manga in any way, shape, or form. Toei ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Piccolo might not know such a wish is possible. Because in proper dragonball, it shouldn't be. You'd think any of the Namekians would've made that wish back when Frieza was genociding their race. Etc. Etc. Goku and Vegeta wouldn't wish that, they fight for sports and improve even in the most threat...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Superhero handles it in typical Toriyama fashion where he makes sure to plug the egregious holes. Since SuperHero takes place after this arc, you’d think Piccolo would just wish to be the strongest. But since this is proper Dragonball, the wish is much narrower and makes way more sense. The wishes a...

Co-signed.

Id rather he take 6 months off to meticulously plan out an arc than spend six months on a circular fight scene that goes nowhere.

It was cartoonish how many times Gas and Granolah said “now I’ll get serious”.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Do you still think this, or has this chapter satisfied you? I am curious because personally I think this issue of the dragon balls being exploited to obtain immense power has clear drawbacks, as seen with Gas. To the point that it wouldn’t make much sense for good guys to wish the same Yes, I feel ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I don’t understand “True Ultra Instinct”. Is he just fighting more aggressively? Didn’t he try that with Moro and fail miserably? How has remembering Bardock somehow improved his Ultra Instinct? I’m very confused. :lol: Stop thinking in terms of forms and branding. The story is pretty clear about t...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Yeah, this arc is a master class in how to not write stories. Building up Elec’s motives for a year only to reveal that… he’s exactly your first impression of him. No depth. Having Gas fight for months without any characterization, then when he starts to develop it, that gets put on the back burner ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I’m actually really digging this chapter the more I think about it. I think it’s super cathartic that Freeza comes out of nowhere and just utterly destroys Gas. He’s been the most boring foe in all of Super, so to have Freeza reduce him to bones and then crushing his skull was satisfying. Your post...

Wu-Tang Clan said saiyans represent the black man's struggle in America.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with, so you better listen to them.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I don’t normally comment on spoilers, but if these are legit and are presented this way in the final chapter, then this whole arc will have been pointless and this whole affair relegated to being a master class in how not to tell stories.

Gohan drawing Kefla after Kale by herself nearly ringed out SSB Goku. And despite Vados saying Kefla may be unmatched at the tournament. Making an angel look stupid cos of Gohans random asspull is pretty egregious, as she said this after witnessing Gokus full power MSSB attempt on Jiren. Vegeta den...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 86 - Official Discussion Thread

First time I've heard the manga ToP called "magic". Usually it gets lambasted. Rightly so imo. I didnt like the manga or anime ToP. Cool. Its when they gave up entirely on scaling and making sense in general. I don't give a shit about the power level community and their inability to under...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 86 - Official Discussion Thread

why keep following it? In the hopes that the narrative will get better. It's not rocket surgery here. We enjoyed the manga from the first tournament until the end of the tournament of power. That's like 6 years, man. Now we see it dipping and not being enjoyable, but we want it to be again so we ke...

At this point I'm convinced that people are more concerned with finding the next new thing to complain about rather than doing a sober analysis I'm fine with taking a step back and not engaging if it's going to be a bummer to those enjoying this. It's shit like this that I don't like though. The on...
