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

I just want to say that Akyon, I hope you remember that it wa specifically said that if goku held back, The universes would be destroyed right there and then. I honestly think Zeno was just purposely messing with universe 9 at that point. I mean it's possible that Zeno was messing with Bergamo, but...

Re: What's up with Tenshinhan this arc?

It's worth noting I would have preferred Tenshinhan to also have got a straight up win against said Sniper prior to Frost eliminating him. The draw seemed weird since all Tenshinhan had to do was keep a clone on the stage and he'd technically still be in...

I'm more flabbergasted that the extra time spent with U9 in the anime made people MORE upset about their erasure. :wtf: There were almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever about them -- even their universe was a literal garbage dump.

Re: How do you feel about the reveal that Android 17 is still alive?

Android 17 is my favourite fighter in the ToP, but I feel him surviving here cheapens everything about his shock 'sacrifice'. 17 went above and beyond, but at this point I do feel like this may be favouritism since narratively there's no reason for him to remain and he may even take away from Frieza...

Re: What's up with Tenshinhan this arc?

I feel like I would have preferred Tien losing to Frost in the anime rather than drawing pointlessly with that fairly forgettable sniper character. it would have made Frost feel a hell of a lot more threatening and set up the Frieza-Frost partnership a little better than it was showcased in the anim...

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

On the one hand; that was actually painful to read as a Krillin fan. Didn't even get a single attack off, at least Tenshinhan got that before getting one shot. On the other, at least the Frost-Frieza team up was more effective this time round and made neither of them look bad. I also like that it wa...

Re: Who was the worst Big Bad in Super in your opinion?

Jiren, Hit, the robot, the nipple guy, the old guy with the big mustache, the female Broli, the fat Beerus (he's not evil but sorta fits the criteria) and Golden Freeza. Awful designs, imo. And no personalities, especially for Jiren. I mean the designs are certainly down to personal preference, but...

Re: Why Krillin wasn't wasted in TOP

Out of the 3 Earthlings, Krilin was the only "straight-forward fighter" and is therefore the least useful fighter of U7 (Roshi used hax to take out way stronger opponents while Tien has the third eye plus the multiplication technique). Anything that Krilin could potentially do, the other ...

Re: Best filler fight?

Most the fights that took place in the recruitment section of the ToP were pretty damn good in my humble opinion. Goku vs. Krillin, Gohan vs. Krillin, Goku Vs. Gohan, Goku vs. 17 and the Trio De Dangers Vs. Buu, Gohan and Goku. Bergamo also deserves special points for making me root for him over the...

Re: The biasness against Toei is unreal!

It does seem a little unfair. Whilst Toei do a lot of questionable things in Super(a lot of loose threads with no payoff), it does sound like Toriyama's 'notes' are basically not much to go on. The end result was always going to vary drastically from Toriyama's idea in his head if the notes are real...

Re: Why Krillin wasn't wasted in TOP

Take away the pre-hype I do not think people will be as disappointed. Krillin in Revival of Freeza was a retired fighter since the Buu arc. In the manga Krillin says hes out of shape and is the most hesitant to join. And seemingly the only one lied to about the 10 million zeni. So whatever Krillin ...

Re: Who hates Goku the most?

King Kai.

Goku's always eating all his food, blowing up his home, destroying his car, getting him in trouble with Beerus, ignoring his advice and wise words, getting him killed and most importantly; NOT REVIVING HIM.

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

I'd actually have loved for Jiren to be this ridiculous justice filled guy. Say what you will, at least he'd have been more notable that way rather than a blander, less concise Hit. I'll take a Ginyu style goofball over the mess that is Jiren's personality we ended up getting any day of the week. Ji...

Re: The Goku-Vegeta rivalry is the most overrated rivalry in fiction and should be concluded in Super

Maybe if Vegeta had any useful abilities in areas other than brute strength he'd be able to rival Goku despite the latter always obtaining a new form prior to him but unfortunately he's got nothing to offer. Goku has access to a power up ability in Kaioken to bolster his already impressive strength,...

Re: How to make forgotten DB characters relevant again?

Chiaoutzu is easy enough if Toriyama could be bothered to do anything with his unique abilities. Having Chiaoutzu telepathically link everyone up so they can relay information rapidly over long distance is the most pedestrian use I can think for him, but if they released the arbitary limits of his t...

Re: It blows my mind how irrelevant Trunks/Goten were for all 131 Super episodes

They are weak. They really should be irrelevant. I don't agree with the notion that one can only be a relevant character if they're super strong. A good writer can still make weak characters competent. Agreed. Bulma and Mr. Satan are good examples of weak characters being relevant to the plot. Kril...

I think he was to an extent. Not because of his showing, that was genuinely really good and he got to do a surprising amount in his brief time, but the missed opportunities with other members: - Interaction with 17. How do the two feel about one another? The manga has 17 grateful for Krillin's wish,...
