Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread
Oh so they did release something for Goku Day. Nice. My prediction: This chapter will be dedicated to exposition on Beerus' planet. We just go back to Earth to see Piccolo and Bulma getting their wishes. Maybe Piccolo going to the RRA too and leaving with the big guy to get Pan. Eerily accurate. Go...

Re: How Far Could Shenron Take An Ordinary Earthling In Power?
If they get the Granolah treatment then they can get fairly strong. Granolah's wish gave him the power set of a version of himself that had access to all training methods he'd potentially come across which included Beerus' training. In an Earthlings lifespan they could potentially have access to all...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?
Was Goku sent straight to heaven in the future? That would explain a lot. He's kinda the lynchpin for afterlife networking via his connection to Kaiosama. Kaiosama doesn't often reach out to anyone but Goku and seems to only do so because Goku's not around If Goku was still around, his biggest fumbl...

Re: How would u guys feel if Yamcha becomes the strongest?
Idk about "the strongest", but I'd be down to have Yamcha grow insanely powerful. Maybe he can have rematches with Goku and Tenshinhan. On that note, let Tenshinhan get insanely powerful too, so he can have rematches with Goku and Piccolo. Maybe they can both settle some grudges they may ...

Re: Could Kuririn and the other humans live for 300 years too?
Being unable to die due to old age is a form of immortality, it's just not the best one. The 'gag' is canon. Or are we going to start ignoring things because they don't match what the series has become? I mentioned other reasons why Baba is long lived, including deals with Yemma. Parents thousands ...

Re: About how characters train in DBS
Even the original manga often got lazy with the power-ups, especially during the Freeza arc. The entire idea that a Saiyan’s power increases after recovering from fatal injuries was just a convenient way of having the characters get stronger so they could keep up with the villains. It’s especially ...

Re: Could the Moro and Granolla Animated Adaptations get the same hype as Black and ToP?
Obligatory "there is no official announcement or indication of Dragon Ball Super returning to serialized television broadcast". That said, something I haven't seen brought up in this thread yet is the voice cast. Norio Wakamoto brought new depth to Cell that wasn't necessarily there in th...

Re: About how characters train in DBS
At this point ki is just magic. It's bestowed to whoever the plot needs it to be bestowed upon. But I've been thinking about it anyway. There's this idea that the Saiyan zenkai may provide a boost in ki in proportion to the strength of the enemy as an evolutionary response. If that is true, there's ...

Re: Worst decisions ever made
I understand Toriyama wants to tell concise and focused character-driven stories that rely on the main characters and a general guest character (Trunks, Merus, Granolah, 17, etc) to tag along each arc, and I appreciate that, but if that's the case then the scale of Super should be severely toned do...

Re: Are you sick of Goku?
"Are you sick of Goku?" Not really. As someone who never really liked Goku when I was younger, I am growing surprisingly more fond and respectful of the character as I get older. I love what he represents: that purity, authenticity, drive, and dedication that he has to the martial arts. He...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread
This chapter was mostly good, except for the fact that Gohan has neglected his training yet AGAIN. Like, GOD, does Toriyama not know what else to do with that character?! To be fair, it seems that Gohan is making excellent and consistent progress in what he's actually chosen to do with his life. It...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread
I normally don't use twitter as a barometer for anything, but was pleasantly surprised to see Toyotaro getting praise for the art of this chapter in comparison to the movie. I think he did a good job making it his own even though it is as close to being a shot-for-shot recreation as can be without b...

Re: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor
I mean, that could all be true, or you can take the simple explanation which is more likely ... Togashi was a reader of Dragon Ball and took some ideas and designs and put his own spin on it. What's BL by the way? I was slightly off, it was just a shoujo series that had a lot of BL(Boy's Love) elem...

Re: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor
Hiei isn't inspired by Vegeta, design wise he was based off of a BL character, and role wise, in additions to rivals just being a common trope in every form of media, Hiei spends like one chapter being a villain before becoming an ally, whereas Vegeta spent nearly two arcs being a villain (and basi...

Re: Dragon Ball's spiritual successor
Still don't think I will ever understand the YYH and DB comparisons, though if you want a show that borders on just being YYH, Flame of Recca is 80 percent the same show as Dark Tournament arc YYH. I think it has more to do with Yu Yu Hakusho being Funimation's first non-Dragon Ball anime and most ...

Re: Why Gohan could never defeat the Androids
There's also the case of nutrition. Perhaps Gohan wasn't drinking plenty of juice and thusly not doing the pushups and sit ups necessary to ascend to the next level.

Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?
SSJ2 has always come off as a fairly optimized form. There's no strain or restrictions on it and it has a lot of power. I do think that there may be some strain on it, albeit not to the crazy extent of SSJ3. While Goku & Majin Vegeta were still engaged in their big fight, their SSJ2 energy outp...

SSJ2 has always come off as a fairly optimized form. There's no strain or restrictions on it and it has a lot of power. Trunks took it even further beyond that to (likely) surpass Goku's SSJ3. This was a Goku who trained several years with SSB Vegeta in the time chamber and who gained massive power ...
