The wound heal thing was only in the show and its never come back (surprise surprise) :P

I don't want them to have it anyhow because really, do Goku & Vegeta need Piccolo-esque healing factors too?

Oh right! and not really they are already OP, If the SSG wasn't just a one-off for Hit in the manga, I could see SSG playing a crucial part in a later transformation which will cause Vegeta to have to obtain it.

The official, Korean IQ Jump twitter account posted an images of their Super manga materials. Interestingly, they replaced the "cho" kani with hangul. So I can't help but wonder what might befall our logo when we get it?

They'll probably turn it into a big S or something.

Oh jeez. And the I thought the balance of the original logo was terrible as it was.

I dread to think what FUNi are going to do.

I'm now reminded of the April Fools logo I made for the Dragon Ball subreddit:

At last, a controversy to over shadow Yamamoto's!

Funimation will probably keep the logo. I doubt they will change it like they did with GT.

As expected, the pacing was quite rushed for the latest chapter, but it was a decent enough take on the fight. I liked the battle damage on Hit at the end.

I just love its epicness and the feelings it brought forth along with Chozetsu Dynamic being played in the background!
I feel the same, but I'm glad the manga had a different perspective. I always found interesting when we have the main product and the adaptation telling the same story differently. It was a pleasant surprise to see how he worked with Goku different upgrades. He did justice for Vegeta too.

Yeah.. When I started reading this thread in those moments I refrained myself about making any comment. Too much lack of comprehension and harsh posts. Basically, you said everything I've wanted to say. Count on me to congratulate @TheDevilsCorpse's contributions.

And thank you, Toyotaro, to have brought Super Saiyan God again! I missed him. I hope kaioken will have some use further in the story.

This comment makes me ponder what the draft originally said. Surely Toriyama didn't write, "Goku uses his red form against Hit. I forget what it's called, but you know what I mean.", and both productions had their own take on that! :lol:

We have this confirmed in several places, one being slime base vegeta completely stomping ssj3 gotenks.


What I want to know is, is there anything indicating they're this strong in base, in the manga? Because that's an enormous divergence, if not, and in light of SsjG form still being a thing, it seems like that may be the case.
Besides Goku having a silhouette of God appear behind him in the F manga there's nothing that says these guys are anywhere close to SSG power in base or in Super Saiyan. Goku only fights Beerus in SSG in the manga.
I'd think that Goku not getting immediately taken out by SSB Vegeta or Hit would indicate that. He took a hit from SSB Vegeta in their training and stood up immediately afterwards. Later on, Base Goku in the manga faced Hit exactly like in the anime too. Of course, you can go with "they were holding back", but that's not very convincing without anything to indicate that in the manga.

Well, Hit was holding back, but still at a level where he could take hits from a SSJ God without getting destroyed. And obviously Vegeta wasn't intending to kill him, but the idea that he'd jump to SSB, and yet only use an attack on SSJ level, for example, is completely baseless. There's no reason to not take those scenes at face value.

Eh, not necessarily. Hit can sense power and apparently has issues with holding himself back, him not immediately taking out Goku can easily get explained away by him holding back to avoid accidentally losing by delivering a killing blow. Wouldn't be the first time a stronger opponent dropped his power for a weaker one, Cell's a good example of this. Goku's IT Kamehameha wouldn't do jack to Cell if he was at max power but suppressed and taken by surprise? Gave him some good damage.

Vegeta using Blue on him is weird but I think that was Vegeta just trying to goad Goku into a battle at their strongest, which worked until Goku bit his tongue :P

Yup, that's what happened, calling it right now.

The GT logo wasn't "changed" but more so "updated."

I use updated loosely
