"Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

It is the entire galaxy, singular. If people want to argue that at this point, it's a matter of their own stubbornness rather than any (non-existent) linguistic ambiguity.

Agreed, I went to the National Japanese Society (US) of Educators and also emailed the top college in Japan for translations. I reached out to numerous accredited translators on Twitter as well. Everyone returned to me with the same exact translation. It is 100% verified at a singular Galaxy.

My side of the argument knew this, but I have had some drama on Youtube with a person who was so very upset with me for translating these scans, and other scans, that they eventually rallied their 6,000 subscribers to threaten me. It led to a community post from this person, in public view on his Youtube community page, endorsing his community to escalate beyond just death threats to me. Youtube did nothing about this, of course. For the past few months, my family and I have been getting threats online and some were excellent investigators and somehow found out who I am IRL, contact my parents, and threatened them.

I have been dealing with threats for months from this person and my channel was blasted with thousands of reports from this person, who also actively posted in the most toxic Discord chat rooms you can imagine, rallying yet more people. My Youtube channel was throttled, and now I make so little in monetization that Youtube wont even release the funds because it does't hit the $100 bottom limit before they can transfer it to your bank account.

So, thats the story of what this is all about and why I was asking. Their stubbornness is infinite, has no bottom to the abyss and their channel is entirely dedicated to what I consider just flagrantly making up data points and fake translations to try to prove points that they prefer to be true, but aren't. I haven't logged in even once to my social medias in the past 5 months, without any death threats against me because of all of this.

Goku wouldn't give up, so I won't either.

Drafts for Chapter 104 (or rather the One-Shot) are out! Will there be a thread for it?

[The Monkey King]

DBS SH Prequel-prequel in the same week as Daima's huge climax with a new transformation (probably).

It's going to get overshadowed so hard lmao

[Cybersai]

I just really hope the next series keeps Trunks and Goten in the spotlight. If we have to go back to yet another Goku/Vegeta story, I'm out.

Trunks and Goten are adults now, they don't have the same excuse of keeping them out of the action because they were kids. And with Gohan and Piccolo just upgraded in the last movie, they better remain relevant.

Goku and Vegeta not against Black Freezer? You're out, mate.

[FortuneSSJ]

Enjoyed chapter 104 more than the entirety of Daima. Hopefully the manga comes back soon

[Omori]

Still wondering behind the reasoning to make Chapter 104 just to be able to release Vol. 24 in April...
That does a bit sound like DBS won't fully return any time soon and this was the best way to get the chapters out.
DBS will be on break again in March and let's see what will happen the upcoming months.
Surely, the Daima anime is over, but games are just getting started to cover Daima content.
It wouldn't be a too crazy thought to have a "Daima" manga running in VJUMP while game content is coming out?
And Super then to return later on?

If the Superhero movie can get a manga adaption, then the chances of Daima also getting one are extremely high, especially with this being Toriyama's final project. As for Super regular return, who knows at this point. They haven't announced that it's over, but they also haven't announced that it's not. If we don't get any announcement sometime this year, then it may be time to give up on it.

[Bardock God of Time]

I could see Daima getting adapted for the Super manga

Only difference is this version takes place after Superhero. And hey, we could get more Goten & Trunks or Gohan in on the action.

Goten & Trunks would most likely regress to kids again instead of Babies so we could see Kid Goten & Trunks fighting alongside Vegeta & Co.

It'd be funny seeing Kid Gohan with Beast mode lol

But everyone would complain like they did during the Superhero arc.

Superhero's manga adaption was mostly a panel by panel adaption, so chances are Daima will be the same. There might be a few lines added here and there, but I highly doubt they'll do anything as major as add new characters to the story or set it in a different time period.

[Omori]

I can see a manga under the "Daima" name going for 2-3 volumes, with Toyo adjusting it in his own way.
And Super then returning next year. But who knows what they are planning

[Xeogran]

The thing is that Superhero was under Super's brand name and Daima is not. It would probably be a separate manga if it were to exist.

[Sani007]

I don’t have any particular issues with the Dragon Ball Super manga, but I think that since the whole Super has become an alternate timeline, I don’t see a reason for its continuation. Similarly, I don’t have any major issues with Toyotarou either, but I believe Dragon Ball deserves a professional artist.

This is just a dream, but back in the day, Nakatsuru used to draw the V Jump spin-off mangas of Toriyama’s works.

[nineko]

You know, I was thinking, just because they didn't restore the status quo at the end of Daima (e.g. locking access to Super Saiyan 4, or fusing Nahare and Kibito) that doesn't mean that they can't do that in Super. Just like they added an extended prologue to Super Hero, they can add an extended epilogue to Daima, and take care of all the continuity issues.

Now, you and I both know that that's not going to happen, though there is still the chance to fix everything if they wanted to. As I mentioned elsewhere, I would love to see a coherent "Daima - Super - GT Kai" of some sort, and the Super manga can do that.

I just want to add that I hope whoever is in charge of the decisions regarding writing of DB going forward sets a high bar and doesn't release anything half baked. Because if the future is Black Frieza it's a bleak future for DB. Recycling same villains is a bad mistake I said it then I'll say it again. They need to move onto bigger and better things, newer things instead of recycling Frieza again for the millionth time.

the future of DB is probably bleak. that said, Black Frieza was definitely intended to be the end of his character arc. we might seem him again, but probably not as a villain.

My crackpot theory is this: black frieza is intended as the final Super arc since we're almost at the uub tournament. So imagine this: we had Broly, we had Bardock, we had Gogeta, we had SSJ4, you know what is missing from the old days? That's right, Cooler. What I think they might be planning is making a final Super movie where Goku UI, Vegeta UE, Orange Piccolo, Gohan Beast, and Berserk Broly (and maybe even Goten and Trunks so we finally get teen Gotenks, the real one) face off against Black Frieza and Cooler. A final faceoff between the Saiyans (and one namekian lol) and Frieza. This is probably the reason they brought him back to life to begin with. It would make no sense to have a frieza roaming around by the time of end of Z. I think he's clearly being set up as final antagonist, and as creatively bankrupt as that might be, he has been brought back so this has been a long time coming.

Akio Iyoku seems keen on taking elements that worked in the past and reworking them into the main story, so this isn't really that far off from what he might be thinking

Outside of Battle of Gods and Daima, everything we've gotten in this revival has been half baked for the most part, and that's with Toriyama trying to guide them. I can't even imagine how much they're going to half ass everything moving forward.

[Yuji]

Volume 24 cover is out.

Awesome art aside, Broly's hair is green which confirms his mastered SS form is indeed the berserker/FPSS form from the Gogeta Blue fight, and not just the standard yellow form.
