More importantly, this wise, ultra mature version of the character the #NotMyGoku crowd keeps advocating for just doesn't sound all that fun or interesting to me. Co-signed. It's just not very Dragonball to have a wise, reasoned, good-natured character who infallibly acts in everyone else's interes...

Likely because of this idea that "there's always someone stronger than you", and Beerus is representing it. Not "likely." It's explicitly for that reason. Beerus represents a benchmark for them to strive toward. That's how it's been since the end of Battle of Gods where he talks...

I should add that it's funny how Beerus mentioned being surpassed. Beerus was introduced to the franchise 11 years ago. Piccolo Daimao's first appearance to Goku flying off with Uub spanned just 7 years of real world time. Beerus is by leaps and bounds the longest lasting benchmark in the story. It'...

Pretty cool chapter. Loved the bits of character growth for everyone. 1. Trunks freely admitting he’s doing this so Mai thinks he’s cool without some drawn out panels of him blushing and trying to brush it off. 2. Vegeta training someone he doesn’t have to baby is a nice change of pace. I especially...

I was interested in seeing if he would substantially change this part of the story, considering the difference between the manga's version of Gohan and the anime's. Toyotaro's Gohan has never stopped training, fought evenly with Kefla, and fought 73. Yet in the brief time since then, he's suddenly l...

However the justice system delivered a puny sentence that almost led to massive destruction. Nah, the system worked. Very optimistic writing here. Hedo isn’t a bad guy, and his only crime was stealing bodies. He hasn’t done any tangible harm to anyone. If Justice is to be restorative, there’s not m...

Seems perfectly reasonable to bring up the previous arcs when talking about the current arc. That’s how sequential storytelling works. Krillin needs to be a cop that actually does his job by arresting Mai. He should probably arrest Kame-Sennin first. Police corruption even in a world like Dragonball...

Krillin needs to be a cop that actually does his job by arresting Mai. If you support women's rights then you need to support women's wrongs (trying to conquer the world), too. We can’t have these adult women dressed in young people drag grooming our kids King Furry needs to pass an Act to stop thi...

I love this version of Goten so much. He's not a caricature like in GT, and actually has a well-defined personality, unlike in the Buu arc. Him being more socially aware than Goku and Gohan put together is funny because he's the only Son that has a relatively normal upbringing hanging out with someo...

For me that's hard to believe, but I'll stay true to that belief for now, one thing they can't do in this arc though is make Goten & Trunks see how Hedo is physically, it would definitely mess it up (or they are just blind at the end of DBSSH) I think it's worth bearing in mind that both Goten ...

Yawn, not another thread ruined by the schizoid representation discourse. People: "Wow, it sure is cool that different racial and ethnic minorities are being represented in DB now" Some people: "WHO CARES! REPRESENTATION IRRELEVANT! NARCISSISM! SCHIZOIDS! BSGTYGAFGRGT" I dunno, ...

I classify them as fallacious, but not really worth arguing further only to derail the thread even more. Decades of research and observed outcomes is the source that none of this is fallacious. The people who claim it is only have one source. P.S: My comments were in good faith. I didn't assume any...

Read the chapter. Honestly, pretty much the same thoughts as last month. This is all super fun, super charming and super refreshing. Trunks getting bested by his Future version is also a very funny twist. Also still digging Goten's characterization as simultaneously an airhead and Trunks' straightma...

I’ll never understand this narcissistic mentality so in vogue nowadays. I’m going to assume an abundance of good faith from you. You will understand why your views on this are deeply flawed if you do even the most cursory bit of research into representation and the psychological, political and soci...

Haven't read the chapter yet, but I saw this: https://i.imgur.com/iVhy4jk.png Damn Toyotaro getting woke by showing different cultures in a respectful manner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare he! How dare he represent the wide berth of people who read dragonball instead of catering just to one type! In all se...

I rewatched the Toyotaro video yesterday, and it STILL worries me a great deal that Goten wasn't mentioned in any important capacity, at least compared to Trunks. Like, is the guy really that much of an afterthought to the DB staff? Even if he is an afterthought, this is the most amount of characte...

Also, the inspiration for Black Freeza is fucking perfect. :lol: Indeed. Frieza is based on the people who crashed the Japanese economy. Perfect to make his new form based on a credit card for the exorbitantly wealthy. Now if they wanna be topical, what they should do next is bring back the real Ce...

You know how you know Granolah sucked as a character and that the arc was bad? The response to this chapter—a chapter that sidelines all of that stuff.

Just observational.

I felt so much more reading this chapter than I did hundreds of pages of melodrama about Bardock, cereals and bootleg Bojacks.

Man, this chapter was charming as fuck. What a return to form. But the Granolah Arc started pretty promising too... With that said, actual black people! Actual diversity in Dragonball! Good shit! Great shit! Edit: Forgot to mention, it's very cool that this chapter has so much characterization for G...
