Vegeta never killed directly one of the main characters. That's the line in DB.
Piccolo definitely crossed this line then. Also, in a world where death has little consequence as it does, trying to kill someone ought to be the same as actually succeeding.

Or maybe the Z sword if they repair it, that will be interesting.
If you mean by stealing him up in the Z Sword, it remind me what they did with Xicor in the AF fan manga from Toyable.

Oh, I hope not. Majin Vegeta, Vegeta-Baby, Copy Vegeta... it's enough already.
I'm not against other Black characters appearing, though. Black might take on another body than his Goku-Black form. You could bring back some pretty strange choices of people with that. Raditz-Black, for example, which I'd find hilarious. It might even culminate in something like Vegito-Black or Gokhan-Black being the final villain.
If Black can take a form then Gohan Black would be awesome on so many levels. One massive troll on the Gohan fans :lol: While the final bout is happening in the future or something we cut to the real Gohan at some super important lecture, him wondering what to have for lunch! Haha.

There was nothing more satisfying than seeing the androids being destroyed by Trunks. I hope, somehow, he gets the finishing blow on Black.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

The original Piccolo yes, not the Piccolo that turned good. Okay, so he killed Goku, but that was to defeat Radits, it doesn't really "count".

Gohan went from:

This

to this
Image

Videl from this
Image

to this
Image

Cool transformation concept with an logical explanation
Image to recoloring lazyness. Image

The Z-cast went from being somewhat relevant
Image

to this
Image

And people call Toriyama a good story writer of a genuis while everyone except goku and vegeta are relevant. And transformations are done lazy.

Your subjective preferences are not a fact. And you can leave the selective memory and cherry-picking.

It's obviously not a fact but many people agree with that statement.

Yeah he's pushing his opinion a little hard ain't he?

SSJ4 never looked cool to begin with, looks lame to be honest. Why does transforming into a SSJ4 give him pants and a waistband that he wasn't wearing before :lol: So logical.

The amount of people who agree or disagree is irrelevant for its validity. And resorting to fallacies and irrational claims doesn't help his argument at all. On the contrary.

There are a lot of examples to back up his point. How about you provide counterexamples instead of just saying his statement is false.

Based on the extreme amount of frivilous complaint in this and other threads, I have discovered a composite sketch of what "people" seem to think Super should be.

[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
There you go. Nonstop action, with no comedy or character development, or even dialogue, fuck it, because we just want people with crazy hair shooting lazerz at each other amirite?

When you can't come up with good arguments just say well it's subjective or call me shit the amount of apologists this series has is beyond me :D

SSj4 looked logical and had a logical transformation , a reason behind it.

It's a fact that most z-cast fighters are irrelevant when it comes to fighting , proven with the fact that Piccolo and Krillin were doing irrelvant things in the latest ep.

lazy transformation is subjective?

So recolloring the hair or skin(golden frieza) or a frieza lookalike (frost) is absolutely genuinely new :D

Defend further apologists :think:

I haven't agreed with everything he's done lately but to me the original is a masterpiece and it has gone beyond just being a good story to becoming an influence that other mangaka follow so that's more than enough to qualify him as a great writer.

More like an average writer , a great writer never disregards a lot of his established lore or story. :thumbdown:
I guess if you watch a lot of other animes other then just dragon ball you know what i mean :D

Are you saying you placed more thought into your argument than Toriyama did in his creative process for defining the look of and drawing Super Saiyan God character designs? Because I'm pretty confident Toriyama spent more than an hour conceptualizing and drawing his art.

'Lazy' sure would be a common word to need more than an hour to boil one's argument down to.

Even then I would just call him an average writer back in his prime. His writing went downhill for me after Namek.

What character development are you talking about ? Super's characters haven't changed one bit since the 1st episode.

Vegeta changed a bit I guess but that's about it.
