"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Now we have Naruto avatars. Huh.

Okay, I'm going to have to try my very hardest not to judge the chapter prematurely based on these few leaked images... because ughhhh. Please, please, please let there be more to it than this.

This new "technique" reminds me of Goku's ability to randomly read Krillin's mind on Namek, the only difference is that it wasn't the key to winning the final fight of the arc.

This is so goddamn out of left field that I can't help but actually like this, hell if we're gonna be going down this route I hope the manga gets even crazier in the future.

Fused Zamasu did it first:

As usual ningens need to imitate the Gods...

I can't help but wonder if GT's writers are telling one another "we had to wait 23 years, but now we know for sure that our show was better off without Toriyama".

Relax! From how I see it, Goku didn't actually "physically" grew like if he had Piccolo biological ability or mastered out of his ass the Yardrat Spirit control technique. This is obviously no more that a massive Ki ball that is Goku's shaped so that he can block the massive Moro arms and have free hands to destroy the gem.

It has been established in the original Manga that the protagonists can give their Ki based attack whatever the form they like.
Hence the Kienzan, the Makenkosappo and the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. "Giant Goku" actually seems to be just an oversized, non explosive version of this last one.

[OrangeBanana]

This is probably a Yardrat Technique that Goku knew but never saw the need to use it.

[Matches Malone]

Relax!

This is obviously no more that a massive Ki ball that is Goku's shaped so that he can block the massive Moro arms and have free hands to destroy the gem.

Trust me, I'm very relaxed. I really want to rip this chapter to shreds, but I want to (for once) wait for the full context.

That's not it, Goku released... a mini Goku...out of his head...because...

Toyotaro must have been reading a lot of Jojo while writing this

While being high and drunk at the same time.

It's really dumb but at this point I cant even be mad. I just expect this type of thing from this manga lol

It was done before Zamasu

And you'll be wise to do so because I think, in my humble opinion, you didn't analyse well the images. There ( IMHO again) isn't such a thing as a "Mini Goku". It is the true Goku in his true-sized, normal scale. He was just engulfed in the head of the huge Ki version of himself, waiting for Moro to be immobilized to rush to the gem.

Remember that Moro is giant too, so relatively speaking, the true Goku looks small.
But I agree that, out of context, theses pictures doesn't emphasizes well what Toyotaro is trying to tell.

To illustrate better what I'm saying remember the Hit/Goku battle in the Champa's arc. At the very end, Goku fire a huge Kamehameha that Hit try to stop with one hand. Then, Goku literally fly through his Kamehameha to emerge at its extremity and land a punch at Hit's face. That the same thing here, just replace the Kamehameha with a Big Kikoha Goku shaped.

I like how they're going through all this trouble to basically do what Merus died doing, break the crystal in Moro's head.

It is the true Goku in his true-sized, normal scale. He was just engulfed in the head of the huge Ki version of himself.

I took another look at it, and you're right. Still though, it's a very odd thing to do. How is this Goku...clone thing pushing back Moro ? is it a solid being ?

[SupremeKai25]

That was from the BoG movie, right? I remember that Beerus used that dragon attack once, but for some reason he never used it again, and I don't think he even has it in videogames.

Still, here's another example of a ningen imitating a God.

[Matches Malone]

Fans on social media are pointing to this being a similar technique to the Uchiha's Susano from the Naruto franchise.

That was from the BoG movie, right?

It was from the anime retelling.

[Brettjr25]

So... Goku learned Susanoo and we are going to have Ki Kaiju battles now??? I'll admit though it does seem slightly reminiscent of Piccolo going giant mode in early dragon ball and it may not be a big of an asspull than dragon fist which has became a stable in db community.

Still seems off to me, although I do like Goku getting new abilities but I guess the question is, if we will ever see it again outside this arc.

So where do we go from Ultimate Mastered UI with kaiju mode?

[YamiGoku]

I think this is what Goku is doing

It is a clone made of pure Ki. Except the shape, this is no different than a regular Ki ball which is no more than a Fireball. Plasma in real world. We saw numerous times our heroes "pushing" those things and even worse, move them as it was solid things moved by telekinesis. Again, remember the Gottenks's Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.
