Why can Kibito easily heal everyone to full strength while Trunks can only heal one SSB up to full strength?
The Trunks healing is poorly thought out..
They explained it's related to energy. Kibito probably can only heal one SSJB, maybe even less than Trunks. Actually didn't Kibito took a while to heal Gohan in the Boo Arc?

He is probably trying, but he can't have much healing power left. Kibito, I don't know, he is probably better at it. Maybe he heals their wounds but their stamina isn't totally recovered. But I wouldn't overthink this, it's like Kibitoshin saying he couldn't teleport after giving his energy to the Genkidama, then after Boo is dead he uses it repeatedly.

In this very chapter, Kibito heals Goku, Trunks, Mai, and Vegeta back to back, all to full strength

Yeah, I thought that was dumb too though, since he was RIGHT NEXT to Dende lmao.

This is interesting, I didn't expect it.
As far as I'm aware, from what my SO mentioned while reading (which may not be perfect with an English translation of a Korean scanlation of a Japanese manga), Zamasu never explicitly says he'll use the time machine from Universe 12. He just reminds Gowasu that there are others besides Trunks', like the one from the U12 time traveler, before stating that he has one of his own.

It's right on the page. You actually see him healing them. Check the page after Bulma hugs Vegeta. The full chapter is out

What's the problem? The explanation was given the same chapter it was introduced. Shin told Trunks he had no real experice with the technique and could only use it to heal either Goku or Vegeta to full strength because of how much power they have with SSGSS. Afterwards he was only capable of barely waking Vegeta up from his KO.

He's not the anime's prodigy. Had he been able he to practice the skill a bit, he could eventually use it like Kibito does.

Meh I'm still not a fan of the ending, I don't how to feel about the Manga Top,they better make the recruitment process more interesting, like maybe focusing on the other Universe More
I have problems with the ending as well, but I still feel like at least he brought it home in the end. Could have been better but at the same time could have been worse.

I'm surprised the anime sue prodigy didn't just pull out a remake his universe power too, because he's just so damn cool and amazing :lol:
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

It was never said it had anything to do with experience. The explanation was simply "Healing someone as powerful as Super Saiyan Blue drains your power, you can only heal one!!"
It just felt like a poorly made excuse to have Vegeta admit that Goku is the only one capable of fighting, especially since Trunks goes SS2 the very next chapter so he clearly isn't that exhausted or weakened by the healing, and now Kibito is doing it like no big thing. It's just annoying when we, the audience, have to come up with reasons and excuses for DBS. It's a minor nitpick and doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the latest chapter, but I really don't like that "you can only heal one!" plot point

Nice man. When the leaks come from Korea, you are our guy. Let us know if you read anything relevant in there.

Am I the only one who dislikes how Toyotaro draws muscles? That's not always but most of the times he draws them weirdly. Hopefully he will improve, he should try to emulate Toriyama more.

I'm assuming she casually mentions how she'll take care of her Trunks and makes sure he grows up to be as good as Future Trunks, and Trunks blushes about it since it's like a blunt confession

The arc ended on a high note which was to be expected based on how good it's been so far. As a whole I'd say it's easily one of DB's best arcs and I can't wait to see how the tournament will turn out. It's great to see so much effort put into the manga to make it as close to the original as possible, it feels like a true continuation to Toriyama's original.

I love how Vegeta was the one to get the last major attack (from the previous chapter) on Zamasu before Zeno destroyed him.

One thing I noticed people don't like is Zamasu being afraied of Zeno but why ? it seems like all the Kais know about him so doesn't it make sense for him to be scared of someone who can erase him in a blink of an eye ?

9/10.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

I feel the same way. It was definitely the best arc in Super so far. I also kinda like that Trunks didn't get an asspull attack to finish Zamasu, so the strenght level is pretty on point in the manga. (at least for now)

I'd give it an 8/10.
