Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?
Ten episodes is way too many episodes. I understand wanting to be faithful to the comic, but it's really not necessarily to try and mimic its pacing—especially for inconsequential things. Some of my suggested "episodes" adapted four entire chapters, while others adapted merely one. Not su...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?
If you boil down those episodes to nothing more than "they fought" and don't have any more nuance, then sure, it doesn't seem like any progress is made, but the battle has different beats about every episode, such as: Phase 1 - Goku and Freeza test each other out Phase 2 - Goku makes a go...

Re: Jump force timeline placement
I haven't played the game so I don't know any of its dialog, but based on what I'm seeing on Google, it seems like, yeah, we've got Super Saiyan Blue and Golden Freeza. More specifically, Goku is not wearing his "F" gi, and Freeza does not have a halo, so I guess I'd be inclined to have th...

Re: Could this be the reason they don't continue DB Super series yet?
The actual worst example of padding in the anime's version of Goku vs. Freeza wasn't the long attack charge times, or the stare downs, or even the cutaways. It was the fucking flashbacks to stuff that happened an episode or two ago. That was what made it excruciating, for me at least.

Re: Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?
True, tough since it's suppoused to be a historial character, he didn't really have much choice but to go with the tail. How ridiculous it would be to come up with another excuse why some character lacked it even in the past of U7 I guess tying this all back to the "chibification vs. de-aging/...

For whatever it might be worth, he gave Shallot a tail in his character design: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJGKlsCWYAEUKqU?format=png&name=small Being an ancient Saiyan, it makes sense that he'd have a tail. So I guess there's precedent for modern Toriyama sucking it up and drawing a tail on a ...

Re: Did Yū Kondō have any known influence on Dragon Ball?
From the Shenlong Times 2nd Issue , we can at least glean: Torishima: Goku grew up, and then during Kondō-san‘s time, Vegeta appeared and the number of female fans increased. (laughs) Kondō: It’s because before I came to Jump, I worked at a shōjo manga magazine. (laughs) After I became editor, we de...

Re: Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?
But Shueisha and Toei seem dead set on pretending nothing before Raditz coming to earth matters, and Toriyama seems committed to never drawing the monkey tails again. It wouldn't be too surprising if it was intended to be a proper de-aging spell and we're supposed to ignore characters don't look li...

Re: Once the current arc is over, would you like the manga to cover Daima?
Pretty much this. Based on what we have seen so far, Daima is likely set before Super happening. Not to mention, it's own brand. Mixing it into Super would sound confusing. Well, there's Kibitoshin defusing which didn't happen till sometimes after ROF so kinda can't be pre-Super IF we go by how it ...

Re: Anyone else have the feeling that Toriyama didn't like the Multiverse & Gods concepts?
It seems like Toriyama was in a position to change just about whatever he wanted about Battle of Gods while it was in production. It's true that we don't know if Beerus' line at the end of the film about there being a multiverse was a Toriyama addition or a Watanabe beat that Toriyama simply didn't ...

Did #17 and #18 survive Earth's destruction in Resurrection F?
Putting aside the question of "could they subsequently survive in the vacuum of space"...
Freeza was able to survive Namek's destruction. #17 and #18 were stronger than Freeza in the Namek arc. Ergo, #17 and #18 should be able to survive Earth's destruction, right?

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 101 - Official Discussion Thread
I feel like the Goku vs. Beerus rematch was rendered moot by the former surpassing him vicariously through Geran during the Tournament of Power.
Then again, it's unclear if that beat has been noticed by the films and manga.

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?
I'm with this. I'm not against diversity but Dragon Ball has historically handled it in such a bigoted way that I dread it happening with any future characters. Well, for what little it might be worth, in the Super Hero movie we seem to have gotten a non-racist-caricature black character in the for...

Orange Piccolo and Beast Gohan have funny designs, and the hatred people have for them only make them funnier.
