I'm trying too remember, but do we have battle power inconsistencies in the manga too?

He is younger than I thought

I'm glad then, it means there is a lot of more DB coming in the future.

Not many, the Dabura situation is probably the most iffy so far but unless you try to shoehorn in movie and/or anime facts into it, it's surprisingly solid.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

What's iffy about Dabura? He was beating down SSJ1 Trunks but got stomped by SSJ2 Trunks. Seems consistent, even if you can't decide if Gohan was ss1 or ss2 when he fought him

I'm hoping that logo is just more of placeholder. Because if it ain't... damn that look cheap and ugly.

If that IS the final logo, I hope they at least add some "special effects" to the logo, like golden lightning/golden flames behind the logo or something.

He's a lefty? That makes me really happy for some reason. Lefties are the best. My ex and my daughter are Lefties.

I would really wonder how he would react if someone lays down a copy of Dragon Ball AF in front of him to sign it. If he is not allowed to talk about himself being Toyble this could be a very uncomfortable situation.

I have the strongest feeling that Toyotaro will make that scene much more darker than it was in the anime. Or, rather, I hope he does. Depends on how dark he can get, exactly.
I hope Toyataro goes into more depth about what happened to everyone else. But I have a horrible feeling the deaths may happen off-screen, just like what happened with Future Bulma in the manga. I mean, that wouldn't be the worst thing to happen, but just adding in those darker moments make the story all the more better.
Honestly, I can't imagine Black would leave everyone Goku cares about alive. He'd probably kill them all off as a big middle finger to Goku from beyond the grave, and to ensure no one can use the DBs to bring Goku and his family back to life.

Personally, I would LOVE to see Toyotaro go into detail about Black killing EVERYONE Goku knows and cares about, but I feel like if he DOES take the opportunity to show Black killing everyone Goku knows and cares for, it'll probably be panel by panel. Like this: Gohan, Videl, and Pan in one panel, Krillin, 18, and Marron in another panel, etc.
...I would have instead wanted for Goku Black to be the one with the detailed death in the manga.

Toyotaro probably feels that this is a dream come true, being a fan of himself now a successor of Toriyama. Kudos.

If it is, I like it. I'm a little surprised, if that's the final logo, that they even elected to change it at all, since they kept the kanji for Kai, but it's clean and I've always found the Super logo incredibly lazy.

Also, if it is changed, I'd bet it's Toei wanting something different for the international market as opposed to any local license-holder.

I also like it. It's a little gaudy, but from a design perspective, at least it's balanced now. The Japanese logo is so awkward.

F'real. Its center of gravity appears to be in the first "L."

Further evidence (as if we needed any) that Toyotaro=Toyble, since Toyble was also left-handed. There was an AF blog post where Toyble talked about how some readers had guessed he was left-handed based on the direction he drew cross-hatching, or some such thing.
