Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Just popping in to ask if this DBH thing has been in any way confirmed because I see so much discussion about it. Someone said manga-original, so that could mean it's not related to DBH, right?

DBH prison stuff looks a totally different thing than super ,I just saw 3 anime episodes and didn’t find it interesting , also it has his own manga , so I really can’t see DBS Manga related to that ..
It was as if a whole lot of people ...were screaming in pain....

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 me anything about them. Heck, they're named characters but you'd hardly know that going by the manga.Zephyr wrote:What's not for me to decide?
By the mere fact they're the team members that represent their Universe. They were already chosen among millions of beings by their Gods, they don't have to further prove they qualify, which is what a preliminary is for.Bergamo wrote:In what way are they not the same?

You can't just say. "Nuh-uh," without backing up your claim. A one sentence response is hardly ever worthwhile.
I write as much as I need to. I'm not stretching a sentence just because it's "prettier" seeing two lines of text if what I want to say is perfectly conveyed in just one. Focus on the message and not on how the mensager looks like.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
You do realize beings like Buu, Freeza, cold would have been representatives for universe 7 just about 50 years ago? This notion that just because they are representatives means they have to be god tier character is so lazy. Now I do think think toyotaro didn't utilize some of the fodder enough, especially the fodder that lasted well into the tourney, but this ToP didn't need to be some huge grandiose arc where every universe is as strong as god goku and vegeta.alakazam^ wrote:The role a character has.

You saw Batman v Superman? Is it the Ultimate Edition? No? Then you haven't seen Batman v Superman. Also, the Snyder Cut is the greatest, non-deconstructionist ensemble comic book film ever made.

This is true. It gives the battles more meaning and sense of urgency. Also pulls the audience in more.

The Minus-part does already have a manga-version. I don't think we are going to see a lot of the "past" in the promotional stuff, maybe a few panels in a short flashback.
I guess it would mainly focuss on the battle with Broly, but maybe not everything, they could leave the final part with Gogeta for the movie itself, like they did with the ROF-promotional manga.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Then I guess your point was to make the rest of the fodder universes more interesting? if that's your complaint about the ToP arc in manga, I agree.alakazam^ wrote:I never implied such.Son-Kakaroto wrote:You do realize beings like Buu, Freeza, cold would have been representatives for universe 7 just about 50 years ago?

... however when he tried doing that in chapter 36, you guys called it a "Boring" chapter if i'm not mistaken...
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Oh, so Toyotaro won't waste time retelling the movie, that's a step in the right direction. And what is best, the next saga won't be another crap tournament without story. That is two steps in the right direction.
Looking forward to it then.

Give me a reason they are different from a narrative point of view. Also, being chosen doesn't mean a thing. Remember Panputto?alakazam^ wrote:The role a character has.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
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 Tournament of Power is the main event and they are blank slates so they can be fleshed out however the mangaka sees fit, and give them whatever role they want.Bergamo wrote:Give me a reason they are different from a narrative point of view.

Yes, I remember him. In fact, he is one of the examples I was thinking about, given that he has a name, got an introduction and a chapter dedicated to his fight. He was "fodder" and Goku learned nothing from that fight and he still got more than most of these guys in the manga.

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 occur in, but you have to consider the pacing of the story. If every fighter got their own chapter like Hit, then the ToP would go for 6+ years. Some fighters will get short character moments like Obuni, and others will get nothing, and that's okay.alakazam^ wrote:The context is the difference.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I'd rather you not edit my posts and quote me while doing so.Grimlock wrote:Fixed that for you.TKA wrote:Fights without plot is just Dragon Ball Super.
The Tournament of Power is largely just one big, perpetual fight scene. I strongly disliked it in the anime because it went on for 35 episodes (and to be clear, I'm ignoring all the episodes that were leading up to the tournament, only counting from where everyone arrived in the null world to fight). A typical anime episode adapting a 17 page manga uses 2.5-3 chapters. Dragonball Super manga comes out to about 45 pages every month, or the equivalent of 2.6 chapters of said 17-page manga. If the Super manga was adapted into an anime at the aforementioned 1 chapter:1 episode ratio, it would be 9 episodes long.
That is proper pacing, and remedies the problem inherent in the arc—that of it just being a lengthy fight. It keeps things brisk, characters get to be characters and it's impactful from start to finish instead of long slogs of people firing ki blasts, stopping to talk and legnthy cutaways to the peanut gallery.

I'm not entirely convinced that you have an absolute grasp of what constitutes for a plot, but this isn't a thread to have that discussion, so I'll just leave it at that.Grimlock wrote:Pretty sure I did.Lord Beerus wrote:You didn't fix anything.

Universe Survival saga is just one big, perpetual fight scene without story/plot indeed, and the same goes to Universe 6 saga.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Yes, that's okay but there's a middle ground between giving them nothing and focusing on everyone. There's a reason most people weren't pleased with how Toyotarou dealt with most of the fighters, even when they gave him a pass because it was thought he had to rush to get to Broli.Bergamo wrote: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.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I don't know if, "most people," really do think that. I think that Toyotaro did fine with his utilization of characters, although I do admit he shafted some characters that were obviously intended to do something.alakazam^ wrote:Yes, that's okay but there's a middle ground between giving them nothing and focusing on everyone.
