YES!! it was so funny :lol:

Other ones I can think of:
-Trunks interactions with Beerus (Trunks interaction with everyone in general)
- Goku Black and the mystery behind him
- New Kaioshin from another universe :thumbup: (more like visiting other universe, but having a new Kaioshin is also good :D )
- Expansion of the dragon ball deities story
- Beerus asking for dinner (because it was so random asking for it when theres still daylight)
- Gohan holding Pan happily and Trunks sobbing for his family.
- Also, Trunks signs of PSTD.
Sleeping until the tournament is over.

Lies.
Huh? They've done jack shit in Future Trunks arc. Hell, the only thing thing of any significance I can remember either of them providing in the plot so far is exposition from Whis about the butterfly effect. And of course Beerus threatening to destroy Future Trunks' time machine, which would have been pointless, as they had a second one to spare.
Their roles have been major. Discerning Black's ki and correlating it with Zamasu's might serve as a huge impact in the story later on.

IIRC That's really the only thing they've done so far.
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

I think you're misreading the situation here. It was just free advice about posting etiquette, for everyone's sake. No one is going to forum jail over this.

How long do you think it''s going to be? They seem to be moving at a quick pace.

The staff here at Kanzenshuu ask that members bring as much substance to the conversation as possible.

I've read said rules multiple times. Please highlight which one my post above objectively violated prior to issuing "threats". Thx.

Fair enough. Apologies if I read too much into it. To the casual reader, it read as a formal warning from the mods about a relatively harmless comment made in jest.

This is a good community, but many mods are VERY quick to warn members about their "tone" or similar inferred content, but are rather careless with their own tone when publicly chastising members (I.e. "advice" that reads like a veiled "do this again and you'll be "missed").

I'm not accusing you personally, just commenting on a general trend I've seen from several mods on here. Take it or leave it, but if you and the staff are interested in the feel and well-being of the forum community, maybe at least take it under consideration.

Outside of that, thanks for all you do. Keep it up.

-Further development on Future Trunks' character
-Black is actually a villain for a change (albeit a cliched and nonsensical one)
-The fight scenes are actually decent
-Even more expansion on the Dragon Ball multiverse

Future Trunks still isn't great and doesn't come close to the original but it's still a huge step forward for Super.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
