Re: "Silent, No Character" Jiren is 100% Toriyama

I'm personally not bothered at all by the concept of a "silent, no character" Jiren; it's the execution that bothers me. I was perfectly fine with Jiren's character all the way up until it came down to Universe 7 vs. Universe 11. Once he started talking, he came off as a quiet badass who b...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

As bitter as I've been about that last preview, I think there are some things that still should be considered. 1) We have the "Our Hero, Son Goku" track from the OST that hasn't been used yet. It doesn't sound like there's anywhere that would be used in 130 based on the information we hav...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

You're mixing continuities there. MZ was able to keep up with Vegetto and Jiren would obliterate him with a fraction of his power. Hence "unless we're eventually officially told otherwise". Later chapters of the manga could differentiate their power altogether; my prior statement is simpl...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Given Shin's surprise at SSJ Blue Vegetto's power potentially being "greater than Lord Beerus'?!", Toyotarō's uncertainty regarding who's stronger between Beerus and SSJ Blue Vegetto, and Beerus' statement that Ultra Instinct Gokū might be stronger than him, unless we're eventually officia...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Here's what I hope happens, as simple as it is: Goku burns through almost all of Jiren's power before losing, leaving him weak/exhausted enough for Frieza to eliminate him without it feeling "wrong". I really, really want to agree with this sentiment, but, to me, it feels "wrong"...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

The episode title makes me think Freeza will be last one standing but when he tries to make a wish, his time runs out and he's back in Hell. Goku can use the wish to revive everyone. I don't expect any cliffhanger or consequential ending That's what I've been worried about for a long while now; I'm...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Based on the spoilers, it sounds to me like the conclusion to the tournament will be quite disappointing. I'm holding out hope, though, that we're missing something that's intentionally being withheld and that the tournament's conclusion will be satisfying. Waiting for the episodes proper before I j...

Re: [SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

I do think reviving Freeza was a good idea, because of the way he shook up the group dynamic. Plus, in the space of one episode (95) he showed more development than he's had from the end of Namek right through to Resurrection F, film and series alike. It's the same argument with other characters th...

Re: Could SSRage be connected to SS3?

I like this interpretation of it considering the amount of attention that SSJ2 has gotten in Super. It also makes it seem like SSJ3 was more of a fluke of a transformation rather than being the proper way to ascend as a Super Saiyan. I really like the idea of SSJ3 being an "oops" ascensio...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

An entire minute and a half remain in the tournament? I wasn't expecting that. If I'm not mistaken, that means episode 129 only took thirty seconds, correct? In that case, I can't see episode 130 taking any more than thirty seconds either, since Gokū and Jiren will be going all-out, likely fighting ...

Re: [SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

Those both feel like very likely endings. Even the idea of them forgetting about Freeza is sadly not outside the realm of possibility. After so much buildup, you just know whatever happens with Freeza is going to be an anticlimax. They have left so little time to resolve anything, at worst he'll tr...

I like to think of it as a "Super Saiyajin 4", except for the golden-haired forms. Something like this... Super Saiyajin 1 (Gokū, Vegeta, Gohan, Future Trunks, Trunks, Goten) Super Saiyajin 2 (Gohan, Gokū, Vegeta, Future Trunks) True Super Saiyajin 3 (Future Trunks, the form he used when s...

Re: [SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

This was my idea of a "surprise" ending that I posted in the other thread a few weeks ago, which is sort of similar to Black Hawk 's second ending but with a temporary truce instead: Frieza is the last fighter to remain standing as Goku and Jiren both lose in a stalemate. As promised, he ...

Re: [SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

I've mused about something like the first one being done delberately as a gag: Frieza is forgotten entirely in all the hubbub and he wakes up after the tournament to find everyone has left him behind in the Wold of Void! :lol: Oh my gosh, I would absolutely love this; I kind of want to see it happe...

Re: [SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

I think that both endings could happen due to us not hearing any spoilers about 131. I do believe though that the first ending is more likely than the second. I'm inclined to agree; I just can't see Freeza becoming anything that isn't a self-serving, conniving manipulator; even if he didn't betray ...

Re: Does it feel weird/funny that Super only has 2 episodes left?

To be honest, I feel immensely nostalgic. I never thought that I'd get to witness the live conclusion to another Dragon Ball series the way I did with GT. The fact that the final episode's title is so similar to GT's makes me feel even more nostalgic; it almost feels like I'm getting to relive 1997,...

[SPOILERS] How would you feel about these two near-impossible endings?

Neither of these endings to the tournament and Dragon Ball Super is particularly feasible, assuming Toei Animation cares about the series, which I believe we can safely assume they do. I am merely curious regarding how you would feel if either of these two endings came to fruition to conclude Dragon...

Re: Who is the TRUE hero of Dragonball?

You're confusing "catalys" with "hero". I second this notion. Some refer to Gokū as an accidental or unintentional hero, since his goals simply tend to align with saving the day, but a catalyst is even more accidental or unintentional a hero than that; yes, Bulma's discovery of ...

Re: Guesses on important manga characters.

I feel like Hit will have more of a prominent role outside fighting Jiren, which I don't think will happen. I'm not sure why, but I think he's going to fight Top at some point. Perhaps it's because they were both given trouble by SSJ Red. On the flip side, I'm worried that No. 17 won't be as promine...
