Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Buu might get something and hopefully he does and Tlthey must at least mention Piccolo regarding fusing or something else regarding Namekians or it is just ridiculous.
If Buu plays an important role then change might happen in the future for others as he has been treated nothing but a joke so far in Super.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Yeah, Buu's the thing I'm curious about in this arc. Especially if he's getting a kaioshin ripped outta him.namekiansaiyan wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 8:42 am If Buu plays an important role then change might happen in the future for others as he has been treated nothing but a joke so far in Super.
You don't care so much you comment on how much it annoys you that you mistake people criticizing the quality of a character for hating a character? Okay.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
You weren’t criticizing you were bashing the character and diminishing the character in a few lines. Most of what you said wasn’t true but I don’t feel like arguing with you about Vegeta as this isn’t really the thread for it.
Plenty of people had said I rather Goku be the focus because I like his character type more. He IS the main character so there is nothing wrong with that
Plenty of other people in this thread were saying I want to see other characters play a prominent role. Like saying I Hope Buu or Piccolo do something. There is nothing wrong with that
There were even people who simply said I don’t like Vegeta as a character or don’t think he would be a good main character. Nothing wrong with that either. And maybe they are right.
So yeah there are ways to present an opinion without character bashing. And really what you said has nothing to do with this arc. Vegeta being prominent or not.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I spoke a judgment of Vegeta as a character, that I believed after the Namek saga his character diminished, that is a criticism. It being short and a few lines doesn't change that. Though, it's certainly not the best criticism.
The conversation revolved around opinions on Vegeta's role in the arc as well as whether they'd be fine or not with Vegeta taking a prominent or even leading role. So, me saying that I don't think Vegeta would be good in a leading role is pretty relevant to the discussion at hand, unless you're going to start saying everyone else are saying things that have nothing to do with the arc.And really what you said has nothing to do with this arc. Vegeta being prominent or not.
Also, I would like to say that if you truly do not care about something posted, the way to show that would be to not reply to said post, because you don't care about what's being said. You certainly wouldn't go on about how much that part of the post, which you REALLY don't care about, annoys you and then make an entire reply that is just the part you don't care about to say that you don't care. Otherwise, it almost comes off as lying for the sake of simply dismissing a point you care too much about.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Yes constantly seeing constant negativity about a character I like just by the mere mention of the character is annoying. That is what my initial post was about. I didn’t quote you but your post did spark the post but it was a general comment. Although of course the diminishing the character in a few lines was directed at you. It was indeed a bit passive aggressive of me. And no you didn’t just say I don’t think Vegeta would be a good main character. If that is what you merely had said I wouldn’t have taken issue with your post.Kanassa wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 9:57 am Also, I would like to say that if you truly do not care about something posted, the way to show that would be to not reply to said post, because you don't care about what's being said.

And note you were the one who mentioned that you have “shit talked” Vegeta for a long time. And I commented I don’t care how long you hated the character. How long you disliked the character had nothing to do with my post. It’s irrelevant to my point that you don’t need to say how awful you feel the character is just because someone says maybe Vegeta will be the main character.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Constant? Huh, I thought your post was implying you were only seeing posts like this now.
I wouldn't call it passive aggressive (I know I always sound condescending, but this bit here is specifically not supposed to be), you were direct.That is what my initial post was about.

My post about the length was because I thought (Though, I could have misread) your reply was trying to say that I only had the opinion of Vegeta as a bad character after the Namek arc just to have an opinion that was contradictory for the current moment, so I was saying that I held the opinion that Vegeta's character has been diminished since then before this conversation. I thought defining it as 'shit-talking' would make it sound more humorous.And note you were the one who mentioned that you have “shit talked” Vegeta for a long time.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Constant means not just in this thread or in relation to this arc but the mere mention of Vegeta gets people who dislike him to come out to say how horrible the character is almost every time. It gets old. Your post may have sparked my comment but the comment was also annoyance in general.
But yes other people in this thread presented “I don’t want Vegeta as the main character” in my opinion in more diplomatic way
I guess I didn’t want confrontation so I didn’t quote you directly at first but of course you would notice my post and realize it was partially directed at you. To me it was passive aggressive which I don’t think is a good thing.I wouldn't call it passive aggressive (I know I always sound condescending, but this bit here is specifically not supposed to be), you were direct.
No that’s not what I was saying. Vegeta is a popular character but he is also a character that gets a lot of hate. This is certainly not a new trend. And your opinion that he was best in the Saiyan & Namek arc is a common one I see. I don’t agree but well I don’t have an issue with anyone feeling that way.My post about the length was because I thought (Though, I could have misread) your reply was trying to say that I only had the opinion of Vegeta as a bad character after the Namek arc just to have an opinion that was contradictory for the current moment, so I was saying that I held the opinion that Vegeta's character has been diminished since then before this conversation.

Of course and you are free to voice your opinion in any way you want. But I do think there are nicer ways to go about it. What you said about Vegeta also doesn’t really say anything about why Vegeta wouldnt be a good main character for an arc. It just tells me how much you dislike the character.
And for the record while Vegeta may be my favorite I don’t for a second think he would work as a better main character than Goku. Which is why I said I am just happy for well written character moments. Vegeta is prominent enough. I am happy with where the character is now.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Vegeta's been compelling in Super. My favorite scene is still him using the same attacke that killed Nappa against Cabba, excellent scene that demonstrated the growth of the character. By far the best use of a reference by Toyotarõ
Even in this arc we had his regret for his past actions. While Vegeta's been established as a good guy, his former crimes haven't been touched and we didn't knew how he felt about it. We now know he fight's for more than his family and protecting his new home, he fight's to pardon himself.

To give this arc credit, the idea of Vegeta trying to atone for the past that no one ever brings up, but it falls into the same trap that a lot of Dragon Ball falls into when it comes to character development where it has to have the characters awkwardly exposit their character development for the audience instead of letting it come naturally and allowing the audience to see the build-up to this change and such. Still, this is at least better than a lot of those moments back in Z because it feels like it has more ground instead of Toriyama having to extend the story.

I enjoyed the moment because I was happy to finally see Vegeta mention his past. I also think it was important for Vegeta to say it himself not for anyone else to comment on look how much Vegeta has changed. However when it happened in the middle of a battle with Vegeta telling his feelings to Moro is not exactly the most well written way to present it. But well Dragon Ball isn’t always subtle I guess.
It’s also to me not enough and I wish there was more focus on this in relation to Vegeta’s character. I don’t expect there to be more but I would be pleasantly surprised if there was. Although I also don’t think exploration of this means Vegeta has to beat the main villain of the arc. I would much rather have the former than the latter personally.
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I expect there to be more, but I think it's gonna be more people saying "Wow, Vegeta's real nice. Hey, do you remember all the shit he did?". I think I'd care more if the Namekians themselves showed knowledge of Vegeta's actions and maybe acted scared of him despite his attempts to help. Like, that awesome 'Zuko Alone' episode from Last Airbender.Kinokima wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:20 pmIt’s also to me not enough and I wish there was more focus on this in relation to Vegeta’s character.

Moror, as a villain, hasn't really done anything so far that'd make me want a specific character to be the one to beat him.

Well we all know Vegeta is “nice” now I am more interested in how Vegeta himself views & reflects on his past actions
The Namekians being afraid of him could have been an interesting place to take the chapter. I guess that ship has sailed though.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I like this. Super the anime has kinda made the whole “fighting for family thing and fighting for Cabba thing stale with Vegeta.” I like the idea of Vegeta fighting to pardon his sins or something like that.
Too bad its not the kind of reason that can be used every arc. I can only be used in this case because this arc involved Namekians being threatened.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
It is incredible to see Vegeta get character development in both the anime & manga version of SUPER and I'm not even a fan of him but I show praise to characters that need it the only thing I do want them t change however is his jobbing to each major villain
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
That’s a good point. Vegeta’s evil past is treated like a bad drug addiction and he’s now clean, instead of him being a mass murderer. Even Goku mentioning how Vegeta tried to nuke the Earth is treated as humor.Kanassa wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:32 pmI expect there to be more, but I think it's gonna be more people saying "Wow, Vegeta's real nice.

Good for Bu, but this makes no sense. If Moro absorbed Goku and Vegeta's power then Bu shouldn't be match against him
Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Oh wow, looks like Boo is actually more useful than Goku and Vegeta in this fight. Does magic not work on him? That was awesome.Kinokima wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 10:27 pm People wanting Buu to play a role in this arc well it looks like you got your wish

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
I'm wondering how they intend to go about substantiating Buu's role in this. The intention of the Galactic Patrol was to somehow extract Dai Kaioshin from Buu, correct? We know Buu is a magical creature with unique abilities that set him apart from others. Problem is, we've seen him fight before against Kid Buu and Beerus. If these abilities could have tipped the scales in his favour then why did the outcome of those fights see him being incapacitated? It's kind of up in the air at this moment.Kinokima wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 10:27 pm People wanting Buu to play a role in this arc well it looks like you got your wish
