I don't expect that kind of restraint from most people reading/watching Dragonball, no.

But what is really deserving of ridicule is making all these assertions based on out of context stuff, and then getting summarily proven wrong by what happens in the actual chapter. Far more times than not, this is what happens. Turns out context is extremely important.

But the lesson never seems to stick because the next month we're doing the same thing again.
When will it be Ledgic's time to shine?

I'm just trying to come up with something that doesn't make Goku AND Toyotaro both look like complete idiot trash.
I miss Ultra instinct Roshi, that was stupid but it was funny stupid.

If Toyotaro fucks this up, the rage of the fandom, the RAGE of the fandom, may surpass that of minus.

Has Goku seen Hakai used in the manga? I don't recall him being present when Beerus Hakai'd Zamasu.

How does he know how to do it?

I'm aware of that. I'm asking how he knows how to Hakai considering unless I'm forgetting something, he's never seen it done in the manga. He just randomly uses it against Merged Zamasu.

The Beerus outcome would be the best one, because if Buu seals him away, it leaves the door open for him to return in another arc.

Beerus handling it would clear up the whole Beerus > Moro debate also.

That's not possible. Minus is trash and comes from Toriyama which makes it more painful. Fans can't use Toei or Toyotaro as shields for that one.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Too late for that, and it's worth mentioning that Toriyama is fully involved with this.

To be fair to Minus, at least it was only one side chapter. We've been stuck with this arc for 2 years now.

Credits to MShadows of Narutoforums for finding out.
This! I believe Moro may have copied Merus’ Angel powers and used a big attack to blow everything up, had (Whis or Beerus?) not intervened, he would have succeeded...

This would be my favorite outcome!😉

If Moro has angle powers, that would technically allow Whis to get involved without worrying about getting erased.

If there's one thing the leaks agree on, it's that Goku loses the fight again. It amazes me how bad they've managed to write their main character over the course of this revival. I'm all for others getting the spotlight, but you don't have to completely trash Goku to do that.

My final prediction: Something horrible happens, Goku loses the fight, Moro gains a massive advantage.

- BoG: Goku loses the fight, is spared by Beerus.
- RoF: Goku loses the fight, is saved by Whis.
- Universe 6: Goku concedes to Hit.
- Future Trunks: Goku loses the fight badly, is saved by Zeno.
- ToP: Goku loses the fight, is saved by Frieza and 17.
- Broly: Goku loses the fight, needs to fuse.

It's just how Super works, Goku NEVER gets the main win. He might defeat some secondary antagonists like Kefla, but he never beats the main antagonist. So he won't get a traditional win vs. Moro, even if he seems to be dominating right now.

I mean, he would've gotten a big triumph if he didn't spare Moro, but idiots be idiots I guess.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

The thing none of those were his fault baring ROF which is why people hate, this would be.

Look, in all honesty, I ain't that mad about it. I'm a star wars fan, bleach fan, fairy tail fan, power rangers fan and a batman fan. This kinda thing is nothing new.

Its just so frustrating how every arc in super has a well written start and gets everyone excited but for some reason they can't keep it going.

Like just be all bad.

I was totally fine with the senzu if it led to something else besides Goku letting his guard down and getting his neck grabbed...which seems to have possibly happened. His body is meant to move on it's own now, it should be impossible to let his guard down while in the form. It not needing the connections from his brain is the entire point.

Hoping that Moro gaining an upper hand is for any other reason than that.

The problem is that it's happening all the time, there needs to be a balance. You can't have your main character written so badly in every arc, where it's now to the point where he can't get anything done.

People's hatred of Minus is overstated. Outside of this site and some big Youtubers, I have never seen anyone outright hate Minus. Just call it undercook and for the most part, people like the Minus stuff in the Broly movie.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I mean, I have been saying for one month that it's disappointing how Goku hasn't learned his lesson from RoF... but there are many people in this thread who refuse to let go of the past. The idea that Goku would develop as a character and become more ruthless and merciless is unfathomable, and this is the result.

Just look at the arguments people use to defend this writing: "It's just not who Goku is, remember when he spared Piccolo and Frieza 30 years ago?"... implying that a character can't have some development after 30 years.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it.
