Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Not a fan of the aura and ambient they used on Piccolo, it looks as if they were trying to hide their orange by contrast. The light that would make his gi's purple this color, would make his orange skin a yellow green. Curious note: if you light anime's blue belt under orange, it makes black/grey, l...

Re: Do you want a Tournament of Power II?

My guess is that I would definitely enjoy a tournament, but I don't know about a second ToP... the bored Zen-o excuse is fine, but ToP characters are not interesting enough, I would maybe like to hear what happened to them or see a cameo, but they fulfilled their role (unless they create totally new...

Re: Do You Prefer Reading The Manga In Color Or BW?

For me is: Colored DB special pages > B&W = Digitally Colored DB >> Digitally Colored DBS. Color is a nice addition, but the lineal drawing with some black has it's charm and is easy to read. The special colored pages with its simpler and selective coloring I think has the best of both. DBS's sh...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

So in the movie continuity is Orange Piccolo just Super Saiyan Blue level then? It's all so complicated now. Tying it in with the manga he should be Ultra Instinct/Ultra Ego level. Though if Orange Piccolo is Blue level then it means Ultimate Gohan and the others are....the same as where there were...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I read this chapter twice: first in isolation and then after reading the last two chapters for more context. Surprisingly, this ending was foreshadowed two chapters ago, when Elec told Gas that the most important thing is to get rid of Freeza and that he should hurry up and take the saiyans down (....

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

Goku and Vegeta wouldn't wish that, they fight for sports and improve even in the most threatening situations, and the others would let them deal with it, and even if they don't, their potential would probably cap them weaker than Goku, if they don't consume all their lifespan and die before accomp...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

If a sufficiently powerful bad guy shows up and wants to kill everyone, you should wish to be stronger than them. Who cares if you die right after you beat him? Gas proved the wish worked exactly as presented. He lost due to a technicality in the wording. Next time someone should say “I wish I was ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Gohan's power hasn't been stated, so sure, but remember that: 1.He defeated Cell-Max with an attack on the weak spot Hedo build for that function 2.Cell-Max was weakened, even with a crack on his weak spot 3.He used a Makankosappo, like Piccolo used to kill Radits, in that weak spot. And all this is...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 87 - Official Discussion Thread

I could see this ending working without problem it wasn't because any hint or thematic was lost in the pacing diluted by the fake mystery hype Toyotaro (or the Dragon Room, who knows) seems to have adopted from the anime since it ended, and the fluff like Gas's protagonism and Burdack ('s... well, e...

And without a transformation. (I know it was pretty clear, but I remember seeing at least someone insist on that angels were always transformed in Goku's MnG form, and others even expand this to WnG and hakaishins)

Re: Great Ape Fist

Yup, I think that, if you just read the chapter ignoring future developments, at that point the Super Divine Water was clearly meant to have released its Oozaru power, and he used it on that fist. (independently of whether or not it was retconed, or if it was his present Oozaru for good or just his ...

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

Man, that was expected, but somehow the confirmation is still is a relief. Tho on second thought, I think I would be fine with a pause or ending of the main story (besides confirmed movies) after the quality of the last arc.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

So Blanco did come from Tori, and its name is Beast. I expected and wanted it to be like SS green, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. It's less a surprise knowing that they essentially pushed its inclusion and accepted the first design. Still, I would like to see his design, since its stiff an...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread

As mentioned when the spoilers got out, I'm not against Goku going with a more personal variation of MnG, even if he uses Sign with it, but this execution is just poor. What they are going for is fine and evident, but we just know because Whis' comments and Vegeta's WnG, is not explained in the same...

I keep see people agreeing on that we know that (post-SSB) SS fusion is stronger than SSB, could someone explain to me why? I saw a mention of Broly, is that it? That's valid for the official story, that I understand is what most people care for, but I see some also talk about what Tori stablished/c...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread

Since Toriyama didn't design Omen, he probably wouldn't care how it's used. Toyotaro might have Goku reuse it until Toriyama decides for Goku to fully master UI. It's weird the manga already has him transform into UI at will but I guess he'll forget by the time Toriyama intends for it to happen. Or...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 85 - Official Discussion Thread

UI, at least the principal behind it, isn’t about being out of the moment. It’s the exact opposite. It’s being in the moment to the exclusion of everything else. True, but MnG is not just the principle exaggerated, is supposed to be the pinnacle of it, almost absolute; so I don't see the problem if...

Okay, the movie is great. Fun interactions and plot. That they made Kinton purple was a really nice surprise. Gotenks and Buluma gags were actually funny. Not totally happy with the choice of kaiju Cell, but is not that bad and the second form was the right call. Also, the conclusion of Goku vs Vege...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"

Just noticed it for a brief second on Piccolo's back as he transforms. Could this be the legendary Tree of Might in canon? To me it is a symbol of the Tree of Might in the mythology of the gods. It could also be related to Zalama, for example, what if it is his symbol or what if he is the actual cr...
