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

It will be very interesting to see what they have in store for Bardock. I would love it if the next chapter is entirely set in the past, as we follow Cereal’s genocide from Bardock’s point of view. I just have two wishes regarding Bardock: first, that his bastard side is shown. We know from Minus’ m...

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

I wonder if, maybe, Bardock just saved a few people here and there with potential, to fuel something into them hoping they would eventually defeat Freeza. Or he probably did so just cause he didn’t want to blindly follow Freeza’s orders.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Nobody posted it yet, but there was a new interview on V-Jump, which was translated by Cipher (if you are reading this, thank you!): https://twitter.com/Cipher_db/status/1428364534096416769?s=20 Not much new but I like how they are reiterating that this will be basically the opposite of Broly’s.

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

More than ever I realized just how important Toriyama is through his Heeters addition, who fit the DB world perfectly. Elec is already among my favorite characters among the new ones introduced in Super. Toriyama basically took what seemed like a quite uninspiring story (if it was just based on Gran...

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

If you argue that franchises die because successors are too afraid to twist and turn the story like the original creator does, why do you think it's reasonable that Toyotarou does that? Shouldn't he feel the opposite, so the franchise doesn't stagnate and die? You didn't read what I said, or you di...

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?

Marvel Universe, I think, would be a nice fit. Or DC too. Something where the main villain of the crossover would be strong enough to pose a threat to Goku and co. and where interactions would be cool. Superman and Goku anyone? A cross-over with Invincible would be cool too. Omni-man interacting wit...

Re: Toriyama's Ruthless Vegeta

I think a better alternative would've been Vegeta staying dead and accepting his fate, because a single day of good behavior doesn't change things, but due to his help in saving the universe King Yama puts him on "Other World probation." Vegeta tells Goku not to wish him back until he's c...

Re: Do you want to see Super tackle post Uub?

Yes. I would love to see Uub’s training and possibly Goku recruiting other students so that Uub doesn’t train alone.

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

To be fair to TKA , upon reflection, I can see taking issue with it in the sense that ... had Tenshinhan wished to be stronger than the Saiyans back in the Saiyan arc, considering he was only a year or so later, would the dragon have been able to do that in exchange for just a year or so of his lif...

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

What do you guys think will happen after this arc? If I ends the same month Super Hero is released then there should 3-4 volumes until then (depending when it comes out next year). I recall Toyotaro saying the manga will lead into EoZ and makes sense the yellow bar in the spineart could end with Uu...

Re: "Anti-Ki", Should It Be Attempted?

Moro could absorb ki, so it wouldn’t feel too out of place to have someone who can nullify it. It could be basically an ability like Moro’s without the stealing part, and uses by someone who has a wide range of techniques and is confident in his skill but lacks the power and therefore uses that tech...

Re: Think of a plot for the new movie

That’s how I would write a light-hearted, slice-of-lifey story using the information we have so far about the movie: - Movie begins with Gohan telling Pan a bed story, and the story is about the great super hero Great Saiyaman and his origin, how he first started fighting crime as a little kid, and ...

Also, it’s not clear if someone like Granolah could now wish for immortality. I doubt he could. Sure would help if the story gave enough of a shit to explain the basics of these things, no? Say what you will about Toriyama's consistency in writing, but whenever he introduced new elements, he made s...

They should have just used the Dragon Ball Z brand. DBZ Super Hero would sound better.

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

I really hope the next wish isn’t just to become strong. As it would be really lacklustre to have the same wish performed twice. Especially when the villains have been going the route of knowledge is power. Hoping it isn’t so straightforward a wish. But that should absolutely be the next wish. It s...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Movie #2: "Super Hero" Coming 2022! (Toriyama Scripting!)

I'm not sure Toei will gamble on a full-blown CGI movie. Every time Toei have dipped their toe into that area, it's never worked out well for them. With either the film bombing at the box office or the films just looking like dog shit. I honestly think the teaser was more of a placeholder than anyt...

So, everyone is excited that they maintained Goku’s rotating hair in CGI, right? ...right?
