悟饭 (the character's name) is not rice, 御饭 is. It reads the same way but it's written differently. But even if it were 御饭, that would be his name, while the Turtle doesn't have a name, they just call him "turtle".

It's become something more than just a promotional manga available on V-Jump. It has a large fan base of its own, with it even distributed as manga volumes both in Japan and soon in America.

He's apologizing because he understands Vegeta and Bulma's feelings. Vegeta was unconscious after his battle with Black, so he didn't know about the discussion that happened between Goku, Trunks, and Mai. Bulma told Trunks to return no matter the outcome of the battle. And seeing that not only did he not return, but was left with two people who defeated both her husband and Goku, must have really gotten to her.
Ah, I forgot about Vegeta being unconscious. It's not as forced then.

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.

Let me put it this way, the scheduling of it could be weekly, Toyotaro shouldn't have to rush things..
But what I really want is the anime to follow the manga in the future, that should levitate super to new Heights

I would most honestly prefer OVAs that are taken from the events of the manga. Something like that.

That was a fine good chapter. Everything about it was good, even better than the anime version.
GT wasn't that bad

He must feel awful. Being a God and no one respects him. Just sad.
And Zamasu thought he had it bad. Fuckin' edgy Kaios thinking about "Justice" and shit just because they got strong by chance.

I don't think the manga does everything better, the reveal of Black is far better in the anime just off the top of my head. Between the two of them, there's a perfect version of Super in there somewhere that neither reach for various reasons.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Well I can see what you mean..
The manga completes the perfect version for me mostly till we get the version you speak of

If there's a decent mix of good things from each, and we'd get a far superior product from a mix of both.

It's also missing the epic Black entrance and theme [spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

That said, I really like this chapter. Much more focus is being given to the Kais involved, and much less humor is involved. This makes a nice alternative to the scene where Black stabs Goku and reveals what he did to his family. Also, again Goku is noticeably smarter, asking good questions, and being apologetic for his actions. Of course, because it's Toyotaro, he has explanations for absolutely everything, whether it's good or bad

I could see that if this had been animated, Desperate Assault would have played once Gowasu was stabbed.

The Goku and Vegeta show right?

Well this might be 100% right if Trunks even fails to stop Mirai Zamasu.

For some I found the Gowasu/Black pages look entirely similar to Han Solo and Kylo Ren, even the way Black stabs him was similar to how Kylo Ren kills Han Solo.

Don't know about the goku and Vegeta show but an entertaining show where the main character isn't a kid high on sugar? Yes..

Toyo's managed to change my opinion of him as a mangaka. He's gone from a 5 to a 7 in my book.

Ikari might but the Spirit Bomb can't happen, Black and Zamasu have effectively wiped out all of mankind.
