Both have similar problems and different problems that ruin the story. Even if the manga make more sense, if it has no memorable moments, it doesn't really matter in the end.

Or are we just going to ignore the fact, that the original manga made much more sense than the anime but many dragon ball fans could care less about it.



I honestly expect the manga to have a worse ending.
I don't see how Goku using SSGod against Hit or using Hakai is not a memorable moment. Hell, I would say the entire battoe between Goku and Merged Zamasu is memorable. It's an awesome battle in almosr every aspect. Future Zamasu destroying the Senzus was also a cool scene that impressed me because he showed he is not a pushover like his anime version. Goku Black waking up with Trunks's sword on his body and destroying it like if it was nothing was also a great an memorable plot twist. Hell, even the Gamma Burst Flash has been more impactful for me than anything Anime Vegeta has done expect beating the shit out of Golden Frieza and Goku Black, because it was something new and not the same old shit again. In the anime, he spams Garlick Gun and Final Flash like nothing, Toyotaro didn't overdid it and instead gave us something new (I hope he also does it with Piccolo and Krillin, which are using DEADLY attacks in a tournament where you can't kill...against WEAKER opponents, see Lavender and the Parrot guy from U10).

The only memorable moments the anime gave during the FT arc were quickly ruined by nonsensical points (The only exceptions being the final part of episode 56, which was a masterpiece, and Beerus' Hakai). Both the Gendikama sword and SSIkari are memorable, but because how bad they are. Is that a good thing? I would rather have a cool moment that I didn't expect at all but makes sense and it's explained later than a giant and flashy sword that maked the entire arc pointless.

The difference is that while Z anime had great amount of nonsenses (specially in the Boo saga) it was never as bad as the anime version of Super. Super Saiyan Ikari is completely unexplained, we literally don't have a reason about why Trunks didn't archieve it years before. It's also completely pointless, jut like everything Trunks did in both versions. The fact that Trunks has almost the same importance in both mediums yet in order to do that Toei had to give him such a bullshit power up speaks by itself. The manga also handled Gowasu and, as a surprise, Shin, while anime Gowasu was a walking meme. The manga in general does more justice to the characters, specially Goku, Shin,Gowasu, Trunks himself and Future Zamasu. It's true however that it sadly almost ignores Future Mai, but to be honest the only things she did in the anime were also WTF moments, except the moment when she tries to kill Black in the flashback and.when she tried to shot him with the special bullet. In Z, there was any Toei only moment that was as stupid, pointless and hyped up like Trunk's new form and the Gendikama sword. I would also add the nonsense of Merged Zamasu mutating and the awful use of the Blue Kaioken, but that's not really what I'm trying to point out now:

If the moment you wrote is memorable because of how awfully bad or nonsensical it is by the majority of fans, then you are doing it wrong and you're showing that you almost can't make an emotional moment by yourself without flashes and colors. That's what Toei is doing for me and for some other people. So the debate is not «silly» at all because the products are really different between them and the manga offers the closest thing we have got until know that can be compared to a sequel of Z. And it shows that is not thag hard to make a consistent story, with a decent power scale which is really important in this series, and memorable moments being only a bit more original than using flashy colors and auras. It's not close to Z's manga, lf course, just like Z is not close to the original DB manga in a lot lf things. Still, a lot of us consider it way better than its anime counterpart, and for certain reasons. It isn't as simple as «it makes sense».
some of the best moments in the original dragon Ball manga didn't make sense and that was fine because that's not what dragon Ball is loved for because if it was ball would be more popular than Z.


You know it and I know it.When Super ends, not many will even talk about this .
You care to give me an example? Goku defeating King Piccolo, the class between Kaioken Goku and Vegeta, Goku turning Super Saiyan, Gohan turning Super Saiyan 2, Vegito appearing, Goku fighting with Ma Junior, the final Gendikama are my favourite moments from the old manga and most of the mlre memorable ones. Which one is as bad as to what they did in Super's anime? Show me the light, oh great wise man.

You know it? You definetly don't. And hell no, me and most of my friends will still be praising the manga once Super ends because it has given us ACTUAL enjoyble memorable moment, not shitty nonsensical ones. I already have more memorable moments from the manga version and I am not the only one who thinks like this. For me Super anime is almost as bad as GT, and that opinion won't change with the years.

Nah, it's from tournament 23, four Tenshinhans. People, some concepts are universal, clones or copies as concept are not owned by movie 6, not even DB. That is not ripping off anything. It would be like saying Kibito or Boo curing in the Boo arc are ripping off from Namek arc, because Dende used it.

Totally, the Manga came to stay, at least in the fandom. No way such a good thing will be forgotten. Sorry if it hurts, but the manga being superior to the anime in eveything is a very extended opinion and is not going to go away. The anime has improved in the last arc, but it's bad art, crazy powerscales and nonsensical hypes of the first arcs are not going to be forgotten either. I prefer it to GT in core, but what Toei made with that core, just no.

So, at least from what I'm seeing, it's pretty much the same that in the anime. I wonder if Trunks will go to Cell timeline? It doesn't look like it but I still wonder why Toriyama didn't thought about that...

Were they smirking in Movie 6? I just remember them looking like they were about to keel over when the army comes at them
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

So, this chapter is like the anime, the difference is that Zamasu is not so scary in the manga. Anime Zamasu is far better.

So the Future Trunks arc finally ends in the manga, though it only lasted 13 chapters.
Granted that's with an average page count of 40, I think, about 3 times longer than the original manga managed on a weekly basis, so page wise it would amount to about the same as 40 chapters of the original manga.
Looking forward to see Toyotaro's take on the current arc.

He spams galick gun a lot but not final flash he pretty much use it once so did trunks and and honestly the manga is worse than gt they made this whole arc beyond boring,goku never fought black and they made trunks useless in his own arc that is the worst thing you can do to a character seriously in the anime it was future trunks universe and his arc not goku and vegeta people seriously fail to see this and there were worse asspull in the manga
-Trunks magically has healing power instead of being useful he was nothing but a punching bag
-goku never fought black
-goku never had a rage boost he killed his family yet this was never bought up
-goku black was pathetic they ruined his personality which was really good in the anime
-black and zamasu relationship is horrible in anime they made it look perfect
-goku knows hakai and is merged zamasu level that is not ok that is beyond retarded and the worst part that it came out of nowhere
-and again this whole arc was just boring in the manga literally boring and the vegeta vs magetta fight was better in the anime so was the vegeta and cabba moment which was seriously development right there he actually told him to surpass him.
-the vegeta and trunks moments were way better in the anime especially when vegeta jumped in front trunks so merged zamasu lightning would hit him
Sorry but this manga was arc was boring as hell and just horrible for what they did to trunks keep defending it like it's good no wonder people hate the manga in Japan

So... The final Ruining of Manga Zamasu is running like a total bitch?

And Trunks stayed totally useless to the end?

It's funny how big you made the word " Objectively", it really shows that it's your biased opinion. Unfortunately the manga hasn't been as good as the anime story-wise ever since after Goku and Trunks sparred. From then on, the manga got incredibly underwhelming compared to the anime, mainly because Toyotaro made Black a generic villain and he didn't give him any Goku trait, while the anime staff cleverly got that Black became a different person than Zamasu, and he wanted to be so much like Goku he wore a Gi just like him. Which is on-character with the fact he called himself Son Goku in both the anime and manga (so, as the design, this came from Toriyama) and also Black didn't wish for immortality and aimed to become the strongest just like Goku.
Exactly the manga is Objectively worse than the anime by a long shot. The manga is just the usual saiyajin fanboy Toyataro crap.
I think the word objectively is fair here, and this is coming from someone who hates pretty much every concept Super has thrown at us so far so I have no realm to be biased one way or another.

If both manga and anime were compared in let's say, a college filmmaking course like screenwriting 101 or a narrative fiction composition class, or even something like a photography class, I am 100% sure the anime would objectively be the weaker example when held together side by side with the manga.

Finally, the Future Trunks arc is over. Trunks didn't do anything cool, and Zamasu turned into Metal Coola. The rest is pretty much the same. I would like to say that I'm looking forward to how Toyotaro handles the Universe Survival arc, but after the incredibly slow pacing of the Future Trunks arc, I find it hard to stay interested. Hopefully Toyotaro gives us some extra scenes of the other Universes or something to differentiate the manga from the anime.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

60.

Rest in peace.

Thanks!

Zeno scaring Zamasu off was one thing, but there didn't seem to be anything interesting going on that we already didn't know. I hope Future Mai interacts with the Pilaf Gang at least.

Oh, so there are leaks. The arc is ending, finally, it was expected. Goku pushes the Zeno button, which is the solution to Zamasu's multiplying power, it was expected too. Really, there was no other way out from this, the Hakai could have helped against one, it failed, now against infinite Zamasus, this was it. Waiting for more, but it looks like the ending will be very similar to the anime.
