"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

[Khandom101]

Sheesh, and people think that the manga is superior. It's boring. I know I know, the anime is full of plot holes and inconsistencies (it's not perfect I know, then what is?) but If there's one thing the anime does right is that it gives each individual character the big moment they deserve, plus there's a sense of tension and antagonists (such as Hit,Freeza, Goku black and Zamasu) are amazingly well written. Not to mention, it at least tries to keep us, the audience entertained.

Though, my logical half argues that it's far to early to make a conclusion. I guess I'll give it a chance and see the direction Toyotaro wants to take his manga series towards. Although, my heart has high expectations but my brains like "Nah, he ain't doing shit"
So, get your shit together Toyotaro!!!!

How is there any kind of tension during this arc?

I guess, I was being subtle in my approach. You see, I was talking about super the anime as a whole not just the tournament of power arc. Yes, there is a tension like factor currently in the anime. Reasons (though small) being Jiren (boring, cliche backstory but I like him). Yeah and the biggest reason is Freeza and how cunning (he has been playing it smart since the start of the TOP)He has been in the tournament of power and the thought of him winning creates much tension in the air.

Dude ,just don’t read it , unless somebody is pointing a kamehameha to you ....listen your brain , those feelings don’t seem to be healthy .
More and more complains about some u7 fighters being eliminated without an enemy ringed out ... I guess anime did more fan service . Personally I like the fact that week guys don’t get eliminations that easy ,make the tournament somehow more serious and not a u7 party against 3 guys of u11 and a little bit here and there

[Spider-Man]

Man Krillin and Tien getting 0 points pisses me a lot I mean they could gave some fodder to them,why not U9 or U3 heck both of them defeating Monna would at least make me less angry on a positive note Frost is a F*cking badass whereas as the anime did nothing interesting with him aside from that one episode.

[Vegeta_Sama]

I don't really give a crap about Tien, but damn, I'm a bit disappointed about my man Krillin... He deserved at least one elimination

[TheSaiyanGod]

Where was it said that Tenshinhan and Kuririn did not eliminate anyone? The chapter has not even been complete and people are already judging?

[precita]

I think Gohan and Piccolo will only eliminate the two Nameks and then lose. I'm willing to bet all of Piccolo's elminations in the anime don't happen. Gohan will probably still lose to Dyspo/Freeza.

True.

[Zamasu55]

Where was it said that Tenshinhan and Kuririn did not eliminate anyone? The chapter has not even been complete and people are already judging?

Because it's already out in some places and people who've read it said that Krillin is ringed out in the THIRD page of the chapter, Tenshinahn loses immediately after trying to attack Frost, Monna and some U3 dudes are eliminated off-screen and that Freeza and Frost took out the entire U9 team.

Waaat in the third page holy hell that's terrible, where did you read this because giving sources would help a lot.

If it's true then I'm putting the blame on Toyotaro,he could at least gave the earthlings some point or something impressive that fans can talk about instead he gave them nothing .

[HeroR]

It looks as though Tenshinhan won't be given even a modicum of dignifying combat time in this arc. I know this sounds petty and I apologise for it, but I'm feeling a lot of animosity towards Toriyama at the moment. You go to the trouble of including him in this event just to toss him aside almost immediately afterwards. What even was the point of including him if you weren't to going to use him except as some kind of perverse high striking barometer to test some other character's muscles out? Are you so creatively challenged that you can't come up with just one minor but meaningful use for these characters whom you took the trouble of including as members? If you couldn't offer anything tangible to give then you should have decreased the roster limit for the teams. Nothing would have been lost if the limit had been set to eight instead of ten.

He was there to fill the ten men quarter.

More like to make Roshi look cool.

Curious to see Piccolo role here, he will for sure defeat the namekians of U6 and then get rekt by insects of U4 speaking of which maybe the U4 hidden warriors were the one to take out the U3 warriors, that would be cool way building tension from those guys however this will not happen since my other prediction were wrong regarding the manga.

Now, that's just sad even though I find him boring and uninteresting. Well, in a way he got what he deserved, try tangling with the big guns (Frost ) and you get them hands.

[TheMikado]

But... that never happened.

This. Frost even complained about how hard it was to hold back enough to where he didn't kill Roshi

I think some people just watched the scene and ignored what was said lol. Then they go and complain about it.

Roshi should have been finger flicked off stage by Frost. Basically what happened to Tien. Frost shouldn’t have been threatened at all by Roshi. The “worried about killing” is a cop out in a fighting tournament. If he was so worried about fighting someone too weak his speed should have been enough to get to the other side of the ring and fight someone else. There’s nothing that justifies that fight except artificial drama.

I didn't think Tenshinhan could get it any worse than he did in the anime. *sigh*

The way he was handled in the anime wasn't much better. At least here he got knocked out, in the anime he just fell of the stage.

Tenshinhan got blasted off the stage in the anime. And at least when Tenshinhan got eliminated the way he did he took someone with him.

Tien is the new Yamcha confirmed.

How when Krillin gets eliminated first without doing one thing? Compare what the 2 have done in Super. BOG Tien fights Beerus. Krillin does not. In ROF Tien does better in the movie and anime. And in the anime saves Krillin. Now TOP Tien last longer than Krillin. From what I gather Krillin is eliminated early on while Tien survives about 10 more pages. So what has happened in Toriyamas outline in Super that makes him the new Yamcha? As I see it that would fall to Krillin.

I’m making fun of how he was treated in the manga and anime. At least in the anime Krillin did well despite being the first. Tien just sucked in both mediums.

Do you have a link to the chapter? Or a scan of Krillins elimination?

Nah, you see Roshi can be quite the dangerous foe if given enough time, especially his ability to paralyse his opponents and not to mention his infamous mafuba technique. So it would've been better if frost dealt with him then rather than facing him later. Seriously, what's up with people underestimating the OG turtle hermit master.

[Dragono]

I'm laughing because its obvious to me the Dragon ball fanbase don't know what they want.


Everyone complained about Universe 7 having too much screentime and making the other universes look like crap, now Toyo has taken out 2 of them before an entire universe elimination and people are complaining that he should have gave them more. But when the anime gave them more, people said that wasn't enough and when they gave Roshi so much moments , people were also mad that he did too much and made everyone he fought look like fodder.


This is why I say, the tournament should have just been Goku and Vegeta. Ya all would have complained about it being the Goku and Vegeta show but that would have been one and done complaint not 4 for every character.

[TajinRice]

Think we are all jumping to conclusions. All those ??? of who eliminated who. We have no links just people listing off things. I dont think Toyotaro would eliminate Krillin and Tien without giving them something. Frost seems to be over kill with all his eliminations.

[ToshioWrites]

Did Jiren do anything ?
