Re: What makes the handling Dragon Ball different from other franchises that failed to catch on worldwide?

Reply to the opening question. The aesthetics. DragonBall has an extremely high "marketability" on its side, as its aesthetic is *itself* capable of appealing - you can appreciate the style without enjoying the work. Here in Italy there were a lot of DragonBall Z posters and gadgets *long*...

Re: Why is Toei so obsessed in making Goku dumb in DBS and DBS movies

You may think it's annoying, but the profits say otherwise. Folks gotta understand that unlike most anime, your internet bubble is legitimately insignificant. There a far more people with widely different perspectives than what you see on the internet. Most fans aren't even thinking about this, tha...

Re: Toyotarou Is creatively bankrupt

When I was young, people said "If TV told it, it should be true". Now it's YT that get the implicit authority, while most of YTubers are kids with just average degree of criticism (not speaking the *need* for visibility the platform incite, so it's hard to find honest content). So, I don't...

Re: DBS Anime Future

It's hard for me to quote it, but I'm 100% sure a producer told how messy and chaotic was DBS anime production, so they're taking their time for something new. That doesn't mean you'll have another DBS anime. My sensation is Toriyama is granted rights to pull the strings of the story, adding whateve...

Re: Potential Future Arcs

Black Frieza is obviously something you have to manage. So an arc about is quite mandatory. There's too much meat to chew for omniversal arcs. Or at least I hope they doens't embark again in " the most dangerous really I promise the very strongest being in the universe this time - no wait, anot...

Why I should feel different than having a random space guy become the stronger, only to see the very next indvidual become the strongest, only to see that beating the stronger is not enough as the very next panel shown me that Frieza is now the stronger?

Re: What Can A Tournament Of Power Part II Offer?

I suppose a good stake is for the winning universe representative to get a Daishinkan special training session. Start with in-universe qualifications for a single representative, then a final round to determine the winning Universe. Vegeta qualify, but something happen near the ending round and Goku...

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

Sorry guys, but this is the bottom for me. Everything is so wrong that's very hard for me to comment or justify the thing. As said, the arc *had to end*, so no major opponent to fight. There are literallly *HUNDREDS* of narrative solutions you can use to solve the situation, but the one picked is on...

Re: [SPOILER] Toei Is Open to Risk, Would U Want Next Movie Gotenks-Lead?

I don't see any trend, considering you had a Broly movie before Superhero. By your trend idea, you should have a Buu based movie. And Gotenks role was miserable, there. Like the miserable character he was, used as a gag the whole time and way more in Super. That said... Time travel, meet Raditz and ...

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

Question: I suppose Toriyama *cannot* use GT concepts, as they belong to TOEI and the authors that came with it.
So, by law *or* to avoid any copy issue *or* by courtesy, I assumed Toriyama cannot spoil GT material.
I'm correct?

Reasons to the mysterious villain being Freeza. Reasons to *not* be Frieza: 1. The arc is about to end. How much you want for the fight to last? 10 pages? C'mon. That said, there's no reason for the stronger in the Universe to *show up* right now, ad for sure *is not* Frieza. The stronger will be &...

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

We are near the end of the arc, they cannot show up a major villain to fight with, or a couple of years fighting again. So, having Og7-3 or derivates show up this moment is out of question. The misterious character knew of the whole thing, and no one knew, if not... by Oatmeal intel. So, one can thi...

To be honest, I always tought since childhood that Blue was *totally* gay.

Re: Beerus and Whis are the worst characters in the history of Dragon Ball

That's what I thought just recently. The DBS deadly sin was to use Beerus as a positive character instead of the antagonist. For reasons, probably how good the character was received, they did all efforts to make us empathize with Beerus, while the story could had more narrative drive by having Beer...

Re: Dragon Ball GT: Who should have launched off in search of the black star dragon balls.

Interesting question. Changing the team change the entire mood of the story, so I'll try to forget the entire plot and start from scratch. So... in the end... only Goku and Dende (!!!). Other characters should have come from the plot. My idea of GT was way more like a Chrono Trigger RPG. New charact...
