I really like how Goku was drawn in this page, Asura is great, maybe even better than Toyotaro

Asura is definitely better than Toyotaro art wise. I don't dislike him but I feel like he can't properly make a big memorable scene fighting wise happen, he's almost too simplistic for his own good. Asura gives scenes added detail and a certain "omph!" I think Toyotaro could learn a thing or two from.

The problem with Asura is, his art looks "too perfect". Dragon Ball 1-42 did not look like that.

I agree it can look almost too good to the point of potentially being rigid whereas Toyotaro never suffers from that problem. That being said, I'll take it over the entire Boo arc art which, barring the chapter where Goku kills Kid Boo, looks lazy as hell.

I think Asura's art is better but Toyotaro's is much more Dragon Ball-esque. I think he nails Toriyama's art style in regards to character designs better than Asura, too. Asura's art is also too cluttered at points, there's too much stuff going on in certain pages.

Which do you ultimately prefer then? Assuming Asura had a chance of drawing Super?

I can give Asura the edge based on the technical quality of his art, but I think Toyotaro's panel layouts/storyboards are far more dynamic and visually interesting. He might not draw the characters as good (his lineart and shading can be a little primitive at times), but he draws them in more interesting postures/positions, and from more variable angles.

Also, it's worth noting that Toyotaro has to draw around 30 pages each month. As a hobbyist, Asura has more time to work on each page.

Since Asura can only work on his free time and since DBM tries to keep a sort of schedule instead of just releasing whenever they want, I doubt that.

For Dragon Ball, Toyotaro. For an original work, Asura.

I understand that, but I feel there would at least be more time for him to consider whether he wants to make any improvements to a certain page. That happens a lot with the drawings I work on. I'll draw something in pencil and then come back and look at it again a few days (or often in my case, weeks) later with fresh eyes, to see if I notice any mistakes I want to touch up before inking. You end up approaching the work with a different (perhaps more deliberate) mindset.

In case it's not clear, I'm very impressed with Asura's output and professional work ethic. I just feel Toyotaro's schedule is probably a tad more constraining, especially when you consider the greater number of panels he includes in each page. Multiverse usually averages about five or six.

Ginyu.... If you pull this shit off.... By Odin's balls I will take back what I said about you in the unpopular opinions thread.

If Ginyu succeeds, this might turn out to be one of the most satisfying moments in this whole tournament.

WHAT THE F@#?!

I'm so glad I didn't see that coming at all. Love it, even if it doesn't work.
It'll be interesting to reread all of Cold's scenes knowing it was Ginyu all along (unless it's Cold himself who somehow learned the Body Change but I doubt that).
Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.

So this whole time, Ginyu's been able to fool the Frieza Clan? Holy shit.

There's no universe in which it wouldn't be appropriate. So, in short, YES!!!
