Shit hits the fan every month because everyone turns off their brain and sharpens their fangs in this thread from the 15th to the 20th. It's practically mandatory at this point. I look forward to the detractors tearing the chapter apart after we get half a reaction panel where the eyes are a few millimeters disproportionate.mfwlegend3 wrote:Yeah, that's what we often tell ourselves until the leaks happen and everything hits the fan.Scsigs wrote:plus he's a fan of the franchise himself, I'm betting he's come up with something good.

Likewise. I've never seen anything like it. Not that I'm bothered by it, since it amuses me. Though, these threads never reach the same capacity as /a/ does whenever leaks are out.Jinzoningen MULE wrote:Shit hits the fan every month because everyone turns off their brain and sharpens their fangs in this thread from the 15th to the 20th.

Zeno will still wipe out Trunks' timeline in the manga, or else it wouldn't make sense for him to go to Goku's timeline, and I can't see Toei doing such a big change. 100% Zeno destroying Trunks' timeline was in Toriyama's outline. It also makes Zeno much more feared (which definitely helps with the US arc) and shows us he's the real thing and not some sort of Monaka.

The Earth being without survivors is like the hint there's nothing to save there, a massive destruction is likely. Although, it's not really true, as there are other 11 universes plus the Otherworlds. They could also go to Namek in there to fix things, I mean if Zeno doesn't destroy all, but unlikely.
One clear difference, no survivors, no spontaneous Genki ball. This is a relief. But I bet Trunks is going to use the sword, Mai took a big risk saving it for him, that has to mean something. Is the equivalent of the little girl giving the broken sword to Trunks.
The two Zenos are confirmed, so again, the massive destruction is very likely, but there could be other ways to reach there too, like just asking him if he wants to meet a friend. Simple as that.
I hope the manga gives another solution than Trunks and Mai going to live with their duplicates. I think this is the thing that bothers me most.

The manga is 100% going with the duplicates thing. The story is the same, there's no way Trunks will die/stay in the main timeline in the manga. Absolutely no way.
I'm sorry to tell you guys but the manga isn't going to "fix" the things you dislike about Super's story. It seems like many here still don't get it and are always hoping to see it being a completely different story. I wrote the same things months ago when some here were saying that Gogeta could appear instead of Vegetto or whatever ideas were thrown in the mix, even though it was obvious the potara "retcon" came directly from Toriyama.
Trunks is most likely going to end Zamasu's life in some way in the manga too (or he will at least put up a good fight) - it's been hinted in the last chapter when Trunks was saying he wanted to fight too and blablabla, so he's 100% doing something worthwhile.

Well, for a start it's changing the Genki sword and merged Zamasu may defuse. Man, I don't know what's going to happen, but I don't think it's a 100% for the duplicates, as you say. I agree Trunks and Mai won't stay, otherwise he would have been in the team.emperior wrote:Basako wrote:The Earth being without survivors is like the hint there's nothing to save there, a massive destruction is likely.

There are differences mostly about power like the SSG or the SSRage, but there are also different takes on story plots, like when they summoned Shenron to find the last super dragon ball or Boo fell asleep in the Champa tournament. Black following Trunks to their timeline wasn't a minor difference either. There are things, it's the same story but different.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
Well Toyotaro does take some liberties for sure, but I gotta say that at least in his manga there are none of those honestly tiresome powerlevel inconsistencies.
Toei is the primary, nay, sole culprit of people saying "powerlevels are bullshit". It never was an issue in Toriyama's manga, nor is it in Toyotaro's.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread
You seem to misunderstand the production process. Toyotaro likely finished drawing this arc months ago (even longer if you consider when he submitted his storyboard for review). Not only is Toyo not allowed to deviate drastically from Tori's outline, but he likely wouldn't if given the chance. He'll do his best with what he's given.Scsigs wrote:Considering Toyotaro's had several MONTHS to analyze the ending of the anime's version of the arc, plus he's a fan of the franchise himself, I'm betting he's come up with something good.jeffbr92 wrote:I hope for a better ending to Future Trunks this time
I'm not sure why so many seem to despise the end of the arc. The only thing I dislike is "Zamasu is merging with the universe itself!"

Base Black is stronger then SSJ2 Trunks, who is equal to SSJ3 Goku. However, when they go to the future for the first time, SSJ2 Vegeta is stronger then SSJ2 Black.Saturnine wrote:but I gotta say that at least in his manga there are none of those honestly tiresome powerlevel inconsistencies.

No, it was. Tien pushing down Semi Perfect Cell and deflecting super buu attack, that makes little to no sense.Saturnine wrote:Well Toyotaro does take some liberties for sure, but I gotta say that at least in his manga there are none of those honestly tiresome powerlevel inconsistencies.

But it wasn't as bad because the power imflux wasn't as bad as it was now. Compare the power scale issues of the Freeza saga to Cell saga and you will see what I mena

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

It wasnt said anywhere, its just implied to be a rage boost, just like Goku got after he found out Black killed Chichi and Goten.LightBing wrote:Where was it said it was temporary?DHM211 wrote:SSJ2 Vegeta did better from getting a temporary rage boost against Berrus when he hit Bulma.LightBing wrote: SSJ2 Vegeta did better against Beerus than SSJ3 Goku, he's stronger than Goku.
