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

Yes, I read Chapter 28. I distinctly remember that in that chapter Zeno(s) where playing chess and then arbitrarily decide to get rid of some of the universes because... reasons. After that decision was made, Zeno(s) then asked Grand Priest what the mortal levels were of the 12 universes, and after...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

I could ask you the same: Why don't you let go of this stance? Broly is NOT a "new character, completely unrelated to anything in the first place period". He is a new version of Broly, the reboot of Broly. Any comparison with the old Broly is as fair as comparing the Ghostbusters reboot w...

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

Did you not understand context? The battle royale is the setting. They said in the goddamn show that this will be different than standard tournaments because it's a battle royale. They emphasized that it would be different and even used that as reasoning for why Roshi is a good fit and Goten and Tr...

I'm okay with Broly turning neutral (or even good) in the end of the new film, but they should have kept his evil qualities from Movie 8.
Why is one needed?

Did I say it was said anywhere? :think: I just said it was a "good idea" but I may not have expressed myself very well, I'm sorry about that. I understood what you said, I just pointed out that wasn't said in the manga. Director Scott Derrickson recently talked about this phenomena of peo...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

Yeah sure he is a new character. But he is still called Broly. A new version of a character that people have known for over 25 years. Its the same with Minus Bardock. One way or another people are gonna compare them. Especially with famous chars like Broly is. Sure but if people acknowledge he's a ...

Why don't people just let go? This is a new character, he "shouldn't" be A or B, there's no A or B for him to be. And please, stop with that "legendary" nonsense, that's just a nickname for a form, it doesn't mean anything. Seriously, they use hyped up words like "demon"...

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

Do you honestly feel that anime Frost was more interesting than manga Freeza, or even manga Frost? I just cannot relate. It doesn't matter if he was or not, he stil benefitted from Kuririn being there. Kuririn also disqualified contestants, did some teamwork and showed the audience they should pay ...

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

It does matter. This isn't a plot point. Isn't a character moment. It is just something that was done to have Goku and Vegeta follow them to the Galactic Patrol station. You can hype the Patroller by them having a spar or something. Where Goku obviously limits himself and really got caught by surpr...

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

Kuririn was eliminated in service of building up Freeza; one of the most important and (again) interesting characters of the arc. He also got the funniest gag of the arc. That's much better than the anime having him tap-dance around for a while, only to be eliminated and humiliated by Frost for sho...

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie Thread: "Broly"

The Goku/Broly interaction is more symbolic destiny than Broly hating Goku because of what occurred as a baby. Nothing implies that as the reason unless you’re reading online forums and ignoring the context about entwined destinies , rather that they were destined from birth to be at odds, not beca...

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

There are some preliminary fighters that were a bit important like Krillin's Bullies, King Chappa, and Yajirobe, and then there were fighters like Panputto who were even less memorable than some of the preliminary fighters. No character is owed any type of performance no matter the quantity they oc...

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

Give me a reason they are different from a narrative point of view. Also, being chosen doesn't mean a thing. Remember Panputto? The context is the difference. The preliminaries aren't the main event, so unless you're being set up as a rival, everyone is dealt with either off-screen or easily. The T...

What's not for me to decide? The role a character has. If I'm told there's gong to be a tournament with 80 contestants and I'm shown a page spread of every team, I'm not going to think that the majority of them won't even do anything. I don't care if they're used to hype others, that doesn't tell m...

Horrible and uncalled for? What? Are you forgetting when Super did that exact thing from eps 28-33? What you're suggesting is filler galore so the anime stays behind the manga no matter what. In universe, yes, they're all main contestants. Narratively speaking, most of them are as important as the ...

Those 80 are main contestants, they're not the same as preliminary fighters fom the Tenkaichi Budoukai.
