Toei should animate DBS exclusive manga chapters

Post by super michael » Tue Jul 01, 2025 10:00 am

It would be cool to see the exclusive manga chapter animated. Plus by having the exclusive manga chapter animated, they can added those forms and characters into the game. They can release merchandise from the Moro, Granolah and DBS Super Hero chapter.

Right now by having the Moro chapter, Granolah chapter and DBS Super Hero chapter exclusive for the manga, they are not allowed to appear in the games.

Toei Animation will make more Dragon Ball Super when all the production committee members agree that it is time to make more Dragon Ball Super.

There is a lot of materials in the manga, for them to animate. Plus they can add good filler to it, to make it longer.

If they allow the manga characters and forms to appear in the game, then it wouldn't be so bad. However manga exclusive characters and forms are not allowed to be in the game.

Daima content is getting added before DBS manga exclusive content.

I assume they're waiting to figure out how Super is going to move forward before deciding how they themselves should move forward with a series. The manga arcs will get animated, so it's a matter of when rather than if.

I would at least be excited to see Moro animated. Granollah... Well I think with some slight tweaks a decently fun arc can be derived from that, as there is at least some mildly interesting character work there... even though it also sadly goes in harder than ever before on Modern Toriyama Bardock who is just infinitely less interesting than Toei Bardock.

I feel they cancelled the show for a reason. They don't need an expensive animated show to sell merch.
I do feel that they could and should allow characters from the manga appear in games and such.

One of the game's producers said that manga-exclusive characters and forms were off limits until they get animated. With that said however, I don't know how likely Super's manga arcs are going to get animated now that the manga may never be completed. I can't help but feel those two arcs will never leave the pages of the manga.

Not immediately, but they will eventually. Nothing last forever and just like in the 00s, the merch sales will plummet down the drain once again if there's no new content in the coming years. There isn't a single franchise in the world that can keep selling toys with nothing new to show for, especially in the modern era with way much competition in the whole entertainment business and much shorter audience attention span

How are they going to add filler to arcs that are basically composed of fanservice interspersed with filler? It sounds like the worst nightmare that could happen to any anime fan.

There could be slice of life episode, extended battles, training and extra scenes that doesn't exist in the manga.
In Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z they didn't have any problem adding fillers or changing some scenes which was for the better or worse. In the manga Goku just got the Ultra Divine Water, while in the anime Goku had to do a trial to get the Ultra Divine Water an example.

In DBZ we got to see Gohan adventure, the humans training with the past Saiyans and Gregory training who is a filler character.
In space there was a lot of filler materials that doesn't exist in the manga, when they are going to Namek.

They could make a Dragon Ball Super game that consolidates the manga and anime instead, removing major differences and keeping its core intact, so that it's not as safe and exposition heavy as Toyotaro's manga nor as flashy and inconsistent as Toei's anime. Three or four major realms of power based on their colors with exclusive middle ones, mutations and aura changes such as evolved Vegeta and rage Trunks aside, and stated differences in power such as true or complete and stamina-less kept as battle mechanics. Places to visit can be taken from DBS anime padding, slice of life episodes or even incorporated as extra activities such as Yamcha's baseball. Then, in case it's successful, the story continues in game form. We still need Goku to fight the rest of the God's hierarchy.

they should do a what if show or a show called "the lost chapters" where they make episodes about stuff that never aired. like goku getting ssj 3 in the otherworld. learning the kaioken on king kai planet, future goku vs frieza and king cold etc etc
