Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

While I do think that the whole Vegeta-Black-Goku-Trunks power scaling early in the arc is quite head scratching, Vegeta being stronger than Goku using specific transformations seems to be the point rather than the outlier. Not only his SSJ2 proved to be stronger than SSJ3 Goku in the FT arc, but hi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Don't really have a problem with any of this. Could well and all be true. But I'd still like a more detailed explanation of UE from the manga at some point, and its frustrating we've gone through so many chapters of superfluous fighting with side characters after its debut. Feels like an afterthoug...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Ultra Ego still doesn't make a whole lot of sense as a Haikashin ability though. Yes Vegeta had GoD chi and gets stronger as he takes damage, but that's never been something the GoD's have displayed any interest whatsoever in doing. In the battle royale, Beerus was dodging everyone. The other GoD's...

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

Toei's selected freelance writers and their series directors made good cartoon series-original episodes for Dragon Ball Super . Furthermore, we know that the studio is capable of creating original cartoon series of their own as evidence by PreCure or even just the tone and feel of the 2018 GeGeGe n...

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

I think it would be a waste to speed run hypothetical manga arcs adaptations. TOEI isn't exactly great with filler-esque episodes (although there are some good slice of life stuff in the anime), but there's a lot they could add to these arcs. I would love to see more of Vegeta's training with Pybara...

Re: UI was better looking in the TOP manga arc?

Ultra Instinct Goku looked skinny in the current arc, both against Whis and Granolah. Not as skinny as in the ToP, but also much less bulkier than in Moro.

Maybe that's how he will look from now when he's not shirtless

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

If this is the case, then at least it's not contradicting anything either anyways since, at least by the original manga and the DBS anime, Gohan could always turn Super Saiyan if he wanted to. Just for the record (since I'm seeing people saying this and I don't quite agree), it was never said that ...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

The anime made it fairly obvious that the Ultimate State is something Gohan accesses, not just a permanent power-up, and is independent of his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan. Multiple times afterwards, characters remark that Gohan could just use Super Saiyan, but he chooses not to in favo...

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

So you mean when Beerus said "you can steal/learn some of my tricks" or something, he just meant the Hakai technique everyone's familiar with? He ended up teaching Vegeta about the whole mindset where Gods of Destruction draws power from, so I think Hakai was just the personification of t...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

I don't care for Ulitmate Piccolo/Unlocked Potential Piccolo, especially considering it's being used against such a non-threat as the Red Ribbon Army in a throwaway plot. Yeah, It's always nice to have different characters getting power ups, but I'm still worried about the impact this will have on ...

Re: Toyotaro must stop copying kishimoto

Yes, because stories containing lonely avengers, magical eyes, gigantic energy avatars and weapons are exclusive to Naruto, right? I mean, DBS was influenced by modern Shounen, I guess? This is not some breaking news About the flashbacks, actually Naruto got this stigma more because of the anime (wi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 81 - Official Discussion Thread

This chapter. The implication is that he's not showing his feelings so he doesn't mess up MnG but Gas' dialogue very directly implies that that's not all, Goku himself doesn't feel very attached to the conflict unlike Bardock who was determined to throw his life away for some random strangers.

Can't help but feel the sarcasm here. Maybe I'm sensitive. Idk. But if it's there, promotional materials (especially toys/figurines) aren't always a great example of what we'll see in a piece of media. I was explicitly asking about Dragon Ball media's promotional items as, for instance, Marvel's is...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

We know that Gohan can still access his Super Saiyan forms. It just doesn't seem to make much sense for him to do that because he completely ditched this transformation after he got back to his prime in the ToP arc (both anime and manga). Even though DBS seems to treat his Ultimate state as an entir...

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

I find it interesting how Uchida mentions that the revelation that the Granolah arc is nearing its end "might come as a surprise". They know this feels sudden, which could mean that in another context (maybe without the movie around the corner) this arc wouldn't be so short because they kn...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread

It's been almost 10 years since the last time we had a straight up Z adaptation. The last time was what, Battle of Z? They were already experimenting with Ultimate Tenkaichi and Raging Blast 2's story modes. I'd say Kakarot is a warm welcome. The "dark ages" in terms of not having origina...

Yeah, it does feel stale for them to be emphasising Gohan again like "don't worry guys, THIS TIME he's gonna be super important and central to the plot". That worked alright for the anime's Tournament of Power, and although that arc developed him decently, he still didn't get the amount o...

Confirmed that Kakarot has sold 4.5 million copies. I'm happy to see that the game was a big hit, even though it's single player / story-focused (which naturally makes its lifespan much smaller than games like XV2 and FighterZ that constantly get new updates). I really hope this means a sequel cover...

Even on Beerus' planet, stuff like Vegeta's Hakai Training or the earring could be referenced. Unless he resigns it himself by the time of Granolah arc ends so there's no contradiction. Maybe something like "I'll go my own path, I'm not fit to be a Destroyer." and he'll give Beerus the ea...

I think the movie will confirm their consideration of the manga. We had 2 arc with some notable addition to the lore. Let's see if anyone says anything about what happened. I don't think that will happen. Judging by the tone and plot of the movie, they can probably get away without having to refere...
