Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
The only question about anticipations is this
Can we anticipate any event about the Dragon Ball Super story?
Suppose you've read at least Volume 2, where Black Goku appears, so be prepared to find out what's happening to him. Then, of course, the story has to end up like the original series [joining the Dragon Ball Z, ndt] finale, in a natural and consistent manner, so at least you know that Goku, Vegeta and the others will be alive, so surely you can expect this .

Toyotaro isn't confirming whether Super will or will not go after EoZ. He was just stating the obvious: EoZ still happens so we know that Goku and everyone else who appear in manga chapter 518-519 will still be alive after the Tournament of PowerLupin879 wrote:The only question about anticipations is this

SSB Goku head/neck looks terrible. And it's not the first time he does this for Super.The gr wrote:Illustration from Toyotaro [spoiler][/spoiler]
I don't care if he did that in AF too, now he works officially with this franchise and he needs to step up his game. Someone above should point out this flaw to him.
-Volume 3 cover-
Loved both previous covers, so I'm anxious for the next one hoping he keeps the streak. I also love how the cover and back cover complement each other, something I was disappointed that wasn't kept in Viz version. It just feels incomplete.
As for sales, let's see if it finally cracks the 200k barrier.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Lots of people are complaining about the extended necks, and I agree that Toyotaro doesn't always draw them well, but these are absolutely fine. They convey exactly what they're supposed to.jeffbr92 wrote:It actually looks pretty decentThe gr wrote:Illustration from Toyotaro [spoiler][/spoiler]

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Here, Toyotaro states that he basically draws illustrations (the manga) based upon what Toriyama writes in his outlines, while also adding some of his own "flair" correct? So does that mean that between the manga and the anime, the anime is the one that makes all the drastic changes that differentiates from the manga? (For example, in the anime, Goku uses SSJB Kaioken against Hit in the Universe 6/7 tournament, but in the manga he uses SSJG). Having the anime use one major power-up that hasn't been seen for a while, while the manga uses a different major (well not necessarily major, but still important) transformation is just waaaay to big of a difference. Toriyama to just say "Oh, Goku uses either Kaioken or the SSJG during his battle with Hit and manages to get through Hit's time-skips" Is just too vague to be a part of Toriyama's outline. Toriyama could've only stated one outcome in his outline. Now which transformation did he actually write, and which product is more accurate to Toriyama's outline, the anime, or the manga?sintzu wrote:I guess this pretty much confirms that the reason the Black arc was different in the manga wasn't because he changed what was given to him by Toriyama.Q: What is the relationship between you and master Toriyama?

T: Toriyama first writes the scenario and the text, then I create the storyboard, I present it to Toriyama and Shueisha and after their approval I start to draw.

Q: What are these elements of originality?
T: Regarding the story, I keep the narrative arch but I put my own jokes. So Toriyama creates the main things but then I put my own, for example in the choreographies of the fights.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
In that particular instance, he likely didn't specify. I imagine the outline saying something like "Then Goku gets an incredible power up! (see: "Powaa Uhppu") becoming 10 times as strong as Vegeta (which was specified in both versions)!" Remember that both anime and manga have to adhere to his central points, so if there's a divergence, it either wasn't a significant point in Toriyama's outline or it's adapted for time constraints.superfan2024 wrote:Now which transformation did he actually write, and which product is more accurate to Toriyama's outline, the anime, or the manga?

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Honestly, I believe Kaio-Ken was Toei's idea but Toriyama obviously approved it or else they wouldn't bring it back. Maybe Toriyama himself thought that was a great idea, and it's basically 99% confirmed Toriyama wanted Goku to be 10 times stronger than Vegeta during his fight with Hit.superfan2024 wrote:Here, Toyotaro states that he basically draws illustrations (the manga) based upon what Toriyama writes in his outlines, while also adding some of his own "flair" correct?

Toyotaro decided to use SSG which is fine because the manga is black and white and the Kaio-Ken wouldn't have had the same effect, plus the manga is a promotional product so they probably want Toyotaro to make it different on purpose.
If Kaio-Ken appears in the manga too, then it will be confirmed Toriyama liked the idea so much he wrote it in his outlines too, or maybe Goku and Vegeta will achieve a new form which will make Kaio-Ken useless so Toriyama was fine with it reappearing because it wouldn't mess up with his plans.

Looks at the fight in both versions,the Anime use kkx10≥vegeta ssb and the Manga use vegeta loss his 1/10 strength during his fight with hit , goku ssg≥ssb Vegeta 1/10,in a nutshell Goku SSG is ten time stronger than a vegeta that loss his strengthKi Breaker wrote:How?

Is just suck,we never seen Black vs Goku fought or interact, this should have happened instead of vegeta overpowered him in 19 and that idea sounds badass, Goku vs Majin Goku, both of them Have different facial expressions to make them stand out, but Goku need to use ssj god against ssj2 black just avoid the controversyOLKv3 wrote:Just saw this on /a/.

The preview at the end of the episode showed the cover for Volume 3. Is there any better images?

Crummy but serviceable shot of Dragon Ball Super's Volume 3 cover art:
I would have preferred something featuring Black and Zamasu, but I'll take it. Looks good.
