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

I would prefer Super manga to have the same relationship the original manga had with its anime adaptation. Those differences are the exact reason why the manga can't work the same way Toriyama's manga did with its adaptation . There is absolutely no benefit to making a 1:1 adaptation of the anime i...

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

Man, that's like saying the original manga has no value since it's the same story in DB anime. I don't even know how to unpack this statement because it's so horrendous. 1. Manga get anime adaptations. Manga are just pictures. Anime adaptations add motion, and sounds. 2. Anime has a broader reach a...

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

Wasn't you the person who had to be called out by other users for taking as offense them having opinions contrary to yours? That's the pot calling the kettle black. It helps if you actually bother reading the thread: Someone was offended by the way I posted (note: not what I posted, but how I poste...

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

I don't see how Goku is written better in this arc. I thought the ToP anime arc had him be very in character, and fit perfectly with the Goku we've been following since BoG and especially RoF The manga is showing a more aggressive, prideful side of him, and that's fine (though I strongly dislike hi...

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

always salty whenever someone has a negative opinion about the manga. Attack the argument, not the person. Your initial post was curt and for something with such a strong assertion, it definitely lacked substance. Posters then, rightfully, asked you to clarify what you meant. You took offense to th...

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

That's head-canon. It's logically sound but cannot be proven because SSJ2 strain level is never mentioned from what I remember, contrary to SSG where it's said it doesn't spend much energy. This is a story, not a guidebook. You're not going to have characters literally explain every basic thing to ...

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

The writing consistency problem comes of how Toyotarõ made SSG a "balanced form which doesn't spend much energy" quoting Goku here. Just one little minor thing here because I don't know how much of a difference it makes here. When Goku made this statement, he said in comparison to blue, t...

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

You're delusional. Attack the argument. Leave my perceived mental state out of this. Thank you. Hit legitimately caught Jiren off guard and knocked Jiren to the edge of the ring in the anime using pure skill and strategy before Jiren overpowered him. Yes, like I said he used his typical “my power i...

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

After reading the leaked chapter, I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed this month. Hit was treated worse in the chapter than what the anime did for his elimination. I hope next month is better. What. How? In the anime Jiren just did his typical "my power is maximum" shit and stom...

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

stuff The quote in your sig is not something I've ever said. This is the solution. It is a solution to an imaginary problem. The idea that the tournament is filled with weaklings comes from knowledge of the anime, and is predicated on nothing in the manga. This isn't an RPG; the characters don't ha...

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

But see how in your first example, we don't see Vegeta charging behind Goku getting ready to attack? It's because we don't need to and it comes off as much more surprising. We don't see Vegeta coming up behind Goku because it's meant to be a surprise attack, yes. What we DO see however, are the lin...

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

Well, to be frank, I don't particularly care whether you like it or not. The one-shot philosophy embraced in much of Dragon Ball 's latter half didn't appeal to me at all and was honestly kind of boring. The "new" (and even that's debatable) stamina conservation mechanic that allows for a...

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

If you were to think critically about this I like where this is going. I like thinking critically. there's absolutely no reason why the strongest fighters in the tournament couldn't just power-up and neck-chop the weaklings and throw them out. This isn't thinking critically. 1. How do the strong fi...

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

Toppo? He should take advantage of Goku using a power weaker than the one used on their last brawl, that's why is poor storytelling. Not just the manga as the anime has a lot of these issues. Hey, I told you why that's not possible. I also told you why Toyotaro explicitly showed why your idea is a ...

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

Not my logic, but real logic. That why this arc has one of the worst storytelling we ever saw in the franchise. This fake tension kills everything. Pay attention to the story, yeah? Last chapter Frost went all out. We saw the results of that. That was Toyotaro showing why the characters are holding...

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

What in the actual hell is going on with Jiren's forehead in this chapter? Is El Hermano his stunt double now? I just reread the chapter. Jiren's head looks oblong because in most of the panels he has his head down or tilted. You can't draw it perfectly round if the "camera" isn't looking...

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

I think he refers to fights like Semiperfect Cell vs Vegeta where Vegeta turns his head for like 4 panels after being hit by an attack. He could have built a bit more tension after Goku fired his Blue Power at Jiren. Having an extra panel or two of smoke clearing would have made the show where Jire...

TKA, I enjoy hearing your contributions to the discussion, but I can't lie that sometimes you may come off as condescending or a bit defensive (not obsessively, like Doctor stated).

In Dragon Ball's case it's a combination of the anime's irritating shenanigans and the community constantly saying and doing things that make me want to go dunk my head in a lake.
