I agree with his opinion. The manga is more interesting to look at than Toei's mostly poorly-animated flashy messes.

Manga Zamasu uses Katchin blocks to HURT Universe busters SSB Goku and Vegeta.

Thats just one. But that alone makes the manga useless
And?

Your point isn't an original one, so have some posts I made almost a year ago.

Yes in the manga, no way in the anime.
So you much rather see idiotic blocks of metal thrown at Universe busters, whereas in the VERY NEXT arc a harder version of it breaks like rocks and doesnt even affect the likes of Roshi when struck by them??


[Wow i can really make this my go to point against the manga]
Kaitchin, being hurled by another "universe buster" in fused Zamasu is completely different than the metal standing still. So yes, that is a very powerful weapon to use.
BTW, the discussion was MSSB Goku vs Fused Zamasu being one of the best fights in all of Dragonball Super Manga/Anime.

My problem with the brinks was that Toyo had to make a direct reference to Z. He could have been so much more creative and had Zamasu make spears or something, or pull a Jo Jo reference and drop a tractor on Goku's head. That being his 'final' move against Vegetto also didn't help.

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.

That's everyone's problem.

Merged Zamasu in the anime has a slew of original techniques, so it isn't 'everyone's problem' in this case.

I was saying everyone as in everyone found it annoying that all merged zamasu did was throw bricks.Now in anime,personally the only new ki techniques(dbz and beyond) in my head cannon are kienzan,special beam cannon,the volley ball attack freeza used,17's barrier,a bunch of gotenks techniques,may be freeza's heat seeking cutters and spirit bomb.

Yes, new moves that amounted to shooting differently-shaped ki blasts.

The thing every character does.

Who are the characters that freely manipulate katchin? The gods? Oh wow, it's almost like Zamas is a god in dragonball. It's almost like being a god is central to his character!

Yes, ki blasts. Plural. Not a single one over and over like the bricks.

If you think the manga is so much better, I'd think it would be logical not to ever talk about the anime but all I see you doing is compare them. It's almost like you know the anime is the main product and you can't accept it.

This thread isn't to talk about the anime so there's no reason for anyone that prefers the manga to talk about it and, by doing so, you're just making it stand even more out. Good job.

:eh:

Did you even read the post I was replying to?

Did you even read the last 3 pages of this thread? I don't want to be exposed to what the anime does, which is why I stick to these manga threads. Then you have the same set of people who prefer the anime coming into these threads talking about the anime and how it did Zamas and Black better because they had flashier moves.

Let me really highlight it for you so you don't have to read that whole entire sentence.

You know what? I'll just cut out all the useless words too, to make it really pop for you.
the anime
The anime crowd keeps bringing it up, bud. Read the thread. Pay attention to the thread.

Yes, I read everything, don't be condescending. I don't care if people come here to talk about the anime, try reporting them if you don't like it? It IS off-topic...

What I was getting at is that all I see you post - not in this thread, mind you - is about how "the manga is better", how "Toyotarou will fix this", yadda yadda and the only thing this tells people is that you're aware the anime vastly outshines the manga and is, like we all know, the actual product that will always be referenced in merch, games, etc. If you actually thought the manga was so superior to the anime, you wouldn't feel the need to keep saying it, would you? I mean, everyone would know it so there'd be no reason to constantly point it out. But you still do it, so...

If you don't want the "anime crowd" to come here and derail the thread do your part and don't join the "manga crowd" in antagonizing the anime. You realize you counter-argued bricks by saying new moves weren't anything special because everyone shoots ki blasts, right?

It's laughable how the fandom has disillusioned themselves and created factions in something that is the same thing.
The insignificant differences in both the anime and manga are oranges and tangerines. They're boxing mirrors. :lol:

So will the next chapter be the first one to have Gohan in it since Chapter 3 or 4? That's kinda sad.

Does anybody know the total sales of dbs manga in 2017? I think I saw volume 3 over 300k ... makes me think that is close to 1 million considering all 4 volumes ..
Also , is Toyotarō doing the manga alone or does he have some assistants ?
