Re: This is the greatest take on Jiren I have ever read
I always liked Jiren more for the contrast he had in terms of how his power was presented compared to previous villains. He was obsessed with being strong, much like certain sects of the franchise's fans. But much like fans obsessed with strength above all else, it leaves him hollow and unable to s...

Re: Was DBGT canon during its original airing?
I really don't think that Dragon Ball has any sort of concept of canon. However, GT featured characters from the movies, which as far as I'm aware, were fairly explicitly outside of the manga's continuity, so if GT was "canon" to anything, it was just Z.

Re: Should the Super manga and anime divert into completely different stories now?
I would prefer they follow the same basic storyline, but I wouldn't mind if there were a few differences between the anime and the manga as there have been in the previous arcs. I've found the anime to be generally better for that reason. I believe Toei will adapt the Moro arc their own way, hopeful...

Re: Why do some have a dislike of the climax of the Zamasu/Black arc?
I don't have an issue with the end of the arc, at least the anime version. I thought it was great that there was a villain too strong for any of the characters to defeat and so they had to rely on Zeno. As a bonus, we got to finally see why every one of the Gods was so scared of Zeno as opposed to j...

Re: If Dragonball gets a canon permanent ending again, will it be better than GT's ending?
It wouldn't take much for it to surpass GT's ending, personally speaking. Wasn't a fan of the whole merging with Shenron and then becoming some sort of immortal being thing. I hope that wouldn't be the direction they went in if they ever decided to "end" the story again.

Re: Unpopular DB opinions
I like the direction Gohan's character has gone in and I believe it to be totally consistent with how he acted when he was introduced. I've never understood the vitriol that people have toward him. In a show about fighting, where many of the fans treat the show like it’s a video game a lot of them ...

Re: Super or GT poll
Super obviously doesn’t care for power scaling in general. I’m not even sure why people are still trying to make sense of that stuff. The characters are as strong as they need to be. That’s all there is to it. I know that “who is stronger” debates have always been a thing in the fandom, but Toriyam...

Re: Do you miss the Super anime?
I just got into Dragon Ball earlier this year so I never got to see Super as it was airing. I really, really would love for it to return as it quickly became one of my favorite series. The Heroes fanfic can't replace it.

Re: Super or GT poll
Voted for Super . Seems controversial on this forum but I actually find the Future Trunks and TOP arcs to be pretty great. A few minor quibbles here and there, but nothing horrible. The U6 and Battle of Gods sagas are fine. Resurrection F is easily the lowlight of Super, but I still don't find it to...

Re: DBGT sequel, or alternative setting... Would it work?
I would really rather they not make anything that connected to GT, but I do hope Toei eventually revisits the post-end of Z era of Dragon Ball. As far as a GT sequel goes, I have 0 interest in a story about Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr., nor Pan and Trunks as they are in GT.

Re: Do you the find the pushback against Goku being the hero to be odd?
Yes, I find this to be a bit of a weird take. Goku's the soul of Dragon Ball. Without him, the series would lose something and possibly fade into irrelevancy.

Re: What one change would you make to the franchise ?
Heavily push OG Dragon Ball in marketing (and products like video games) so that the Western audience is more aware that the series didn't start with Z. Maybe do a redub of the original anime in the west. I suppose if I could do something like this in the past, I would've had Kai start with Pilaf ra...

Re: Should the next arc focus on old characters/z fighters or new characters?
The original post seems to imply that our options are either focusing on Universe 7 and the original cast or a totally new cast in a different universe. I don't think the latter has a chance of happening at all (nor would I want it to) but I don't see why we can't have both old and new characters li...

Re: Is the story of the new Broly movie covered in DB Super
More than likely the anime will cover it when it returns. I have a feeling one of the reasons they covered Battle of Gods and Resurrection F is so that people would know that those particular movies are acknowledged as part of Super's continuity since previous movies were always their own thing.

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?
I don't understand the criticism about the designs. If SS God and Blue are just lazy recolors, then what would you call Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2? Super Saiyan 4 is the only form that isn't a simple iteration on the original SS design. Personally, I never got the love towards it. SS4 comes ac...

Re: Do you still enjoy non-canon Dragon Ball content?
I think it's simple why people care about what's canon and what's not. If a concept is canon then it can be expanded upon in the future and it lends itself to speculation and discussion. If it's not, then discussing it as it pertains to the continuation of a series is pointless as no one cares. It ...

Re: Does anyone else feel that much of the DB fandom enforces low standards?
As someone who watched the entire series at the same time, I can't relate to this idea. I actually thought that the Kid Buu saga was the weakest point of the whole storyline, rather than anything modern. Modern DB has some issues, but I think they're greatly exaggerated. Definitely. The same Deviant...

I wouldn't mind seeing more characters from the other universes, but the universes themselves? Not so much. I think that DB would lose some of its intimacy if it regularly ventured to other parts of the multiverse. It would be too "grand". Universe 6 is the only one I would actually be int...
