There's nothing interesting there, don't worry about it.

IMO they shot themselves in the foot the moment they named red haired form super saiyan god instead of saiyan god.

If they had named ssj god saiyan god, then ssj blue could have easily been named super saiyan god.

Now as for me, i dont really care about names of transformations, since they r that, just names.

I doubt he will be killed like that, but the battle Beerus vs Champa is really awesome in there. Like in the manga.
It's stupid how these two made a much more interesting batte than the anime version.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Just saw a video where this happens with Janemba instead. It's just Goku's, Beerus' and Champa's team attack.

I just bought Animage April 2016. It should arrive in my mail on Tuesday. I will check for Dragon Ball Super spoilers there. It was a no go in Newtype, so it must've been Animage that those spoilers came from.

It would be incredible if the manga was weekly, and the anime monthly. Animation would be drastically improved, and the manga would be less rushed.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

The manga doesn't fell rushed to me. It's straight to the point, nothing in-between. I don't need it to be weekly, a page count that reflects it's monthly status would be nice.

Well recently it hasnt been, but the first 4 chapters were definitely rushed. And I'm expecting it to start rushing again now that the anime has caught up.

Does anyone think it's strange Goku uses "san" with Whis instead of "sama"?

Especially strange since he uses "sama" with North Kaio, so he's not adverse to using it.

he uses sama to beerus tho IIRC.

I guess he views whis as more of a friend.

To beerus pretty sure he uses that cos he is the god of destruction and beerus would proly wack him on the head if he didnt lol.

The manga is incredibly rushed. It's made to be that way. It's literally made to be nothing more than a preview to the anime. It's /supposed/ to be rushed.

If it's a preview, it's doing a lousy job falling behind the anime. Could you point here it's said it's exclusively a preview, it was said it was an adaptation of the anime, nothing more.
It's just my personal opinion that it doesn't feel rushed, it's going very close to the anime's pace. Only Zuno's part feels rushed when compared and the first few chapters like kinisking pointed out.

Goku is a racist, he only uses sama when referring to gods. Whis is something.......

He kept calling Frost Freeza so this checks out

Someday I'll know more kanji (maybe). I only recognize 3 of them and that's not enough.

*Patiently awaits higher skilled translators to arrive.*

It's also the wee hours of the morning where I am so the time to bust out my dictionary isn't here. If it were afternoon right now I'd go for it.

Apparently it says Goku and Piccolo lost because Frost cheated and Vegeta is angry so he wants to face Frost.

Well, let's see:
The manga is an adaptation of the anime. However, the anime is the main thing, here. The anime is what's being marketed. It's not specifically called "preview", no. However, Toyotaro's adaptation manga for Fukkatsu No F, was indeed called a "preview". So considering they're doing the /exact/ same thing here with Super... I don't think they necessarily need to say the words "preview" for it to be classified as such. Because, well... It's kind of just what it is. Lol. It's previewing events of what's to come later in the anime. Hence why things in the manga are a bit different, as not to spoil /everything/ in the anime.

And yeah, it fell behind. At 1 Chapter a month, I'm not surprised. Perhaps they'll jump ahead again, or just end after 10 Chapters. It was only really used to promote the anime, and now that the anime's caught up, it's pretty much lost its usefulness.
