Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
A weaken Frost was stronger than Piccolo. Piccolo was stronger than Semi-Pefect Cell 12 years before the Universe 6 tournament and he's stated to always train. It's entirely possible for Piccolo to be below Semi-Perfect Cell during Champa's tournament. Because even though he keeps training, we don'...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
[*] The Heaters are also generic Toei movie style enemies. They're very like the space pirates from Movie 9. They're missing the weirdness you'd expect from a Dragonball villian. The Heeters are a mixed bag for me at the moment. When they were first announced, everyone thought they would be a disco...

Re: Anyone else get the impression that Super is on its last legs?
I have this feeling now, but only because it doesn't seem like Toriyama has any interest in continuing DB past EoZ. He has already stated that the time period chosen for the BoG movie (revival of the franchise) was because he felt that the characters in EoZ were already too old. And I honestly think...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Yeah, I'm not sure where this revisionist fan history in regard to Ultra Instinct has come from, as it was never implied to be invincible in either medium of Super . Goku eats plenty of blows in the anime, and Jiren literally catches and tosses him in its debut chapter in the manga. It can still be...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I don't think either Goku or Vegeta got power boosts right after being healed by Monaito. They've changed their mindset, but there's no mention of improvement yet, their Ultra form is still pretty much the same. I believe this will occur during the battle, with Goku finding his own version of his Ul...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Ultra Instinct didn't felt like Ultra Instinct to me. I'm just not used to the white-haired Goku showing all these emotions, as if he was still fighting in base. I thought the form was supposed to be calm and collected but now it's just.. a literal recolor. This was also a major factor for my disap...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Vegeta was taking damage on purpose against Granolah, which doesn't seem to be the case against Gas. Anyway, getting stronger by taking damage is one of the ways to fill his battle spirit. So it's only natural for him to get stronger in this chapter, even if that damage isn't being taken deliberatel...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Right, so Elec may be referring to Gas's power level, but for me it wouldn't make sense to create this mystery if the implications were about power (after all, we already know he's stronger than Granolah). This is in line with the fact that we never quite saw how Elec worded the wish made for Toromb...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
That is not a Brazilian thing, that's how most of the fanbase is. You forget these forums and many of your american friends on twitter are the hardcore fanbase, who are always more critical than the average fan. Bardock is included in the first place because he's incredibly popular. Him, Broly, Tru...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Not related to any specific discussion here, but I follow the Brazilian Dragon Ball fandom, and I find it quite funny how different their perceptions are compared to the perceptions of DB's English fandom. I don't want to generalize because there is no consensus, but within this bubble many feel tha...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
Well, I guess you can tie this wish with some elements of the original manga, like Roshi even back in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai talking about how the Dragon Balls were what made Goku who he is today (before that larger context even existed, kind of giving greater meaning to it). This can be used as...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 84 - Official Discussion Thread
I won't say for sure, but these images imply to me that the assault on Cereal was the last thing Bardock did before sending Goku to Earth. Hopefully that's not the case and I'm missing some context, I really would like to avoid more problems in regards to the years. It doesn't look like it was the ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super - Viz Translation Checker/Quibbles
Really great thread, thanks for the effort!
I'm sure it will be very useful for future chapters too, and to clear any other potential misunderstandings regarding translations that are not covered by the thread yet.

Re: Has your opinion about Ultra Ego changed since its introduction?
At first I didn't like the design, but over time I got used to it. The color was not what I imagined but it turned out cool at least. I feel that if some people haven't gotten used to the design of the form (and maybe they never will, because it's in fact visually more bestial and unsightly so it's ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread
I think the issue is less that Bardock's fighting strength changes with his emotions (which is shonen 101) but that its execution is severely lacking. So it doesn't feel as impactful as the SSJ transformation, because it feels like it came from nowhere. I think that's what people are reacting to. N...

I want to ask something that can may be pretty dumb or out of time to ask, it's pretty related to the movie and also isn't.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 83 - Official Discussion Thread
If Bardock got insanely strong by thinking about absolute victory, why couldn't he defeat Frieza then? I'm seeing questions like this popping up since the release and I don't get why people (in general, not you specifically) are interpreting the scene this way. Bardock being able to close the gap a...

Re: Do you think the new transformation of vegeta will be important again?
Unless Vegeta explicitly gives up on Ultra Ego at the end of this arc, there's no reason to believe Toyo will drop this form, especially since in the interview he makes a big deal out of the fact that it's a technique that's supposed to Vegeta's own path of evolution, similar to how UI is for Goku. ...
