Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Proportions definitely look a little off. Arms are too skinny, legs are too stubby, heads are too big. I know it's in line with modern Toriyama's style but Toriyama himself felt the need to have Goku grow up, and even elongated kid Goku's limbs during the 22nd TB-Daimao arcs, to make the fighting ch...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

Babidi and Boo showing up were probably the most exciting part of the trailer for me. The Boo arc deserves to have more impact to the lore of the series than it ended up having. It should be just as monumental of an event as the Freeza arc was.

I don't like the character designs very much. Goku's hair looks off and the heads are too big.

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Aghh just let this borefest rest and move on. Seems like we're getting new content until 2024 at the earliest, probably up until 2025 considering the roadmap teases more content. I wouldn't expect XV3 until 2026, which would coincide with the 10th anniversary of the game. BT4 probably releases in 2...

Re: Your opinion for the original 3 Dragon Ball movies.

I don't really care for the first two but the third one is a nice condensation of three arcs, even if it feels rushed at times, while providing a unique spin on the backstory of these characters. I feel the Penguin Village segment is out of place but the rest of the film is great.

Re: What direction do you think Dragon ball would take if these mangaka were to write for 1 major saga

Oda would bring in every single one of Goku's friends, past and present, and at least 20 distinct named new ally characters, and have the Big Bad come in with a full army of distinct minions so that every single one of them would get a one-on-one fight. The arc would become the longest arc in Drago...

Why is Goku bored?

A common theme in modern Dragon Ball is that Goku's boredom leads him to progressively become more and more reckless and push the wrong buttons until he presumably finds a healthier outlet in the form of Oob, but why exactly is Goku bored when he's never been more surrounded by stronger people he ca...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

In the film at least, it seems to follow the anime's overall line of logic of base Gohan and Piccolo being comparable, themselves comparable to base Goku and Vegeta who are far and away above Super Saiyan Trunks and Goten. I don't think Goku and Vegeta got 50x stronger from the Boo arc to Superhero...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Toyotaro generally doesn't seem to hold base Piccolo in high regard. He's repeatedly put below SS Goku and Vegeta in the U6 arc and doesn't have any other feats past this point to contradict it. I wouldn't doubt it if he were weaker than the kids, he already was weaker than them in the Boo arc.

A lot of credible people in the community are backing this "Shin/kid Goku magical grand tour adventure" web anime plot, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Sounds interesting enough. I guess we'll see on October 12th.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread

I'm guessing #100 will be the end of the retelling and the tease of the new arc. #98 should end with Orange Piccolo going giant at this rate, #99 with the Beast transformation and some of the fight, and #100 wraps things up with a tease at the end.

Re: Which villain would be the closest to achieving Ultra Instinct?

Zamasu. He is a Supreme Kai, so: 1) He already has knowledge of Ultra Instinct; The Supreme Kais are shown acknowledging UI/MUI in the ToP, and Zamasu directly acknowledges UI in Heroes. 2) he has an affinity with God Ki, because he's literally a God, this will make it much easier to tap into the G...
