Re: What's stopping UE Vegeta from getting unlimited power from getting beaten up all day?

I think it might have diminishing returns over time. Usually a new powerup or training method is most effective when they first discover it but won't offer the same results forever. If the characters really had unlimited potential then some mortal would eventually surpass the Angels and Grand Priest...

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

Do we have all time sales? From these numbers, it has sold over 7 million volumes since 2017, but what about since 2015? I doubt it has reached 10 million yet since there likely would have been an announcement of some sort. Although the manga started in 2015, Volume 01 was released April 2016. I th...

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

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvSnU0oaUAI2fzE?format=png&name=medium DBS manga made it to the top 50 again! It's still doing pretty good and I think highest ranked sequel or spin-off on the list. Comparison with previous years: 2017: 1,302,000 volumes (#29) 2018: 1,470,328 volumes (#22) 2019: 1,3...

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?

It seems to me like they're gearing up to move the story beyond EoZ, and it doesn't have to interfere with GT, they could easily come up with an in universe explanation for GT. I get the feeling it's slowing down. Toriyama's is getting older so that could be why there was a longer break between eac...

Re: Is Post EoZ Content "Forbidden" Because of GT &/or EoZ serving as Toriyama's official epilogue?

I remember Toriyama saying that he gave Vegeta a mustache when he talked about characters being too old after EoZ. He might've gotten mixed up with how he drew Vegeta in the end or maybe the GT cast was how he envisioned them looking a few years after EoZ (aside from Goku being turned into a kid). I...

Re: Was it ever explained away why no one in trunks time in the afterlife help out at all?

I don't think there's really an explanation. King Yemma let Vegeta return since Buu was a universal threat. If King Yemma doesn't approve of them helping since they're only a threat to Earth, Goku could've asked to visit his family like Grandpa Gohan did. Another option is communicating through King...

Re: "No, there’s nothing you can learn by reading Dragon Ball"

To be fair, he's only sharing his opinion. The way I see it is that millions of fans have read the manga or watched the anime in various languages and the majority will likely never come across this interview or even interested in anything said outside the story. I'm pretty sure other staff have sha...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

It's honestly kind of baffling that DBS still hasn't made a proper return on TV, what with the manga still being ongoing and Toei still making movies for it. One would think that continuing to make more TV episodes would be a no-brainer, especially now that there are two full story arcs in the mang...

By that logic, but that's the logic Toei operates with. You might hate it but Toei just doesnt operate under the logic you want it to. I do agree that there are many who do end it before the quality declines and some even end at the top of their game and that's great. Well Toei has been a studio si...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

I don't think we have an official reason but they had the ending in mind early on so it seems like they didn't plan for it to last long. I remember they said something about wanting to keep that timeslot so until they worked on the next anime. I'm not a fan of the idea that anything successful will ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Imperfect Blue is indeed not even 10x God as Hugo said. Perfected Blue is a whole other talk, though. If it's the full power of SSJB locked inside the body, then I think it's the full 50x boost of SSJ. Ah ok I forgot about Completed Blue. I wonder how it works for the films and anime since a master...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

For the sake of using all tiers, the math won't add up (Raditz x 50 is almost Ginyu tier, but SSJB will be a lower tier). I think all GoDs were on the same tier, Beerus is way above the weakest GoD (Belmond?) but not many times stronger, otherwise he'd have solo'd the Battle Royale. The thing with ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Where do you think the GoDs and GoD tier guys like Jiren, Broly, Goku, Beast Gohan, etc would rank if we used the Freeza army as a scale? For example: 1st form Freeza: Beerus Between Ginyu-1st form Freeza: Blue Gogeta, Vegetto, Broly, UI Goku? Ginyu: Jiren, other GoDs Ginyu Force: Elite (Zarbon, Dod...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Still the main point of all the subjects being discussed centers around Beerus being retcon'd or not. Which I have clearly proven he has not since the TV series has not contradicted the BoG scale or statements in the movie. Official statements have the BoG/RoF movies "linking up" with the...

What about the other possibility and there's no evidence that he did any training since BoG? Would you still believe he trained offscreen anyway?

Not really expecting a big reveal at the moment. It's just not Beerus time to battle. That's when I expect we get background on Beerus. Ah ok well that actually answers the question this time.

Nope, I never said that, I just said the movies and series are a separate universe anyway . Meaning without considering the official statement about the series linking up with each other they are separate due to Toriyama not picking up certain power scaling and forms from TOEI/manga.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

As I said before who knows if Toriyama factored in everything in that scale. Maybe he did maybe he didn't. Also, you jump in here talking about BoG and how the movie has been "retconned" because the Super series omitted those two lines. Yet did not contradict the 70% line written in BoG. ...
