Kanzenshuu

Beerus and Whis have pretty much enabled DBS to exist. If you don't like DBS, I guess that's one thing. As for characters, I think they're a ton of fun. I don't care that tension is "undercut" by their presence. Stories since "Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return!" have essentiall...

Gas was on par with the elites of the Freeza force. A pretty generic statement that I had assumed anyway. Toyotaro imagined that Flake was Granolah's father when drawing that scene. I think this is an interesting insight into the artistic process. Even though Toyotaro says that isn't necessarily par...

One detail I liked about Gas was his aura. It's unique as far as I can tell? It's a bunch of little ki flares. I wonder how that might look animated.

My current favorite figures are these Real McCoy ones: Also, I added the Toriyama DBS:SH drawings to my Tenka'ichi Budokai smart speaker setup (spoilers if you've been trying to avoid things from the movie):

Apparently Toriyama's son sauske toriyama took the super hero project https://twitter.com/DbsHype/status/1550636687478251521 To me, that just sounds like a quality assurance position. Basically traveling to Toei's office (since Toriyama won't), looking at the work in progress, and saying things lik...

snip This conversation is going in circles. The events of this arc have done nothing but show Granolah that revenge can only bring ruin. We've seen him reel, cry, beg for death, etc. If you ever feel inclined to reread the arc, look at those moments I described above and see if you still feel his c...

Alll of this is doing the work that the story “should be doing” you’re filling in the blanks that writing and character development should be doing. Basically storytelling should employ “show don’t tell”. And there are many instances throughout this arc in which characters basically yell out their ...

For a rebirth to happen, there has to be a triggering event, there has to be the moment where the character being reborn reckons with the past and there has to be resolution. It's thesis, antithesis and synthesis. That's a literary rebirth. It's a much shortened version of the hero's journey. >He a...

After spending so much initial investment on a character, ideally you'd want to see what drives them to adopt those new attitudes. Granolah already made allusions to being swayed by Bardock's words, but how and why did that come to pass? What made him want to abandon any notion of revenge against t...

The rebirth shouldn’t happen offscreen. Whether it’s Excalibur or Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the rebirth has to happen onscreen. The character who is reborn then has to reason out why the way they were before wasn’t working and why they must be different now. Going “I heard your father’s voice” ...

then completely takes the focus away from him for the remainder of his own story *without a hint of irony* to instead have the plot revolve around some dumbass one-dimensional henchman that literally none of the characters and none of the readers have a reason to care about. I don't know if that's ...

The fact that Granolah reaches this pivotal moment of walking away from vengeance..."and it all happens offscreen and because of based Bardock" is so laughable. It wasn't off-screen. Granolah's development has been ongoing since he encountered Goku and Vegeta, and it's something that Mona...

I really need some explanation about all the forms Goku is using. So, the website says it's a new form of UI, but it looks like Sign, Goku implied so, but it is not? (there was a great episode of El Chavo del 8 that comes to mind). He pulled the silver UI with that giant projection again, so is tha...

I guess the nature of Goku's transformation is still not 100% clear, but to me it still seems to be Omen. Official site called it a new UI form this month. Right, but last chapter, Goku seemed to imply it was Omen. Also, it looks exactly like Omen, so while the utilization is new (although somewhat...

I thought it was an enjoyable climax, although not as impactful as the Moro arc. The pacing felt extremely fast; so much so that it felt out of sync with much of the arc. I prefer this type of pacing, so I won't complain. This fight delivered on a lot of what was has been teased; Oatmeel's necessary...

The "canon" debate matters even less than it ever did since Iyoku's statement about the parallel stories. Even though the films and the series both occur within the same universe, Toriyama doesn't want to have to worry about matching up with every aspect of the series when writing the film...

Toriyama has established Yamcha as a player. Maybe he prefers to be single. I wouldn't mind him getting married - to a Saiyan or anyone else - but not every character needs a traditional marriage. For example, Bulma's parents are swingers. If we get new story content from Toriyama that takes place a...

Creativity and having everything planned is necessary. When you have a team of three or two people, you can work pretty well to come up with something decent in the end. Look at Moro's arc, it started off well and ended up being shit, do you wanna know why? Because there was no plan, there was no c...

In case the content - and the fact that this is supposedly in V-Jump but hasn't been discussed by prominent leaders - didn't give it away, that "leak" is fake:

I'm really enjoying this side of Gas.

As for Elec, I'm still not sure. Gas has obviously been manipulated this entire time, but being the muscle for Heata is what he cares about most. He's happy Elec pushed him this far.
