Volume 6 was the first volume not to get on the Oricon sales chart in its fourth week since Volume 2.

Did people not like this saga in Japan is that why the ratings dropped to their lowest point as well?

The anime definitely helped the sales of the manga. It might also be because this volume was strictly recruitment, which some people might not be interested in.

The "Toyo tracing" scandal is to blame.

Quick question, who would you guys consider the ideal artist for Dragonball manga outside of Toriyama?

Personally, I think Dragon Garow Lee would probably be the best possible pick for the Dragonball manga. Unlike guys like Toyo and JiJi, I think his panelling and layouts are easily the most dynamic and unique with him not really relying much on extensive referencing like Toyo and JiJi do.

That's probably not true. People on the internet make it out to be worse than it is.

Dragon Garow Lee works slowly, and by that I mean even slower than Toyotaro.

The only person other than Toriyama who has shown to be able to put out decent enough art while also crafting a Toriyama-esque story in the 25+ years this franchise has been around is Toyotaro.

I don't care about artists who spend a week to do 1 drawing with no story. Nor do I care about artists who draw something and then fill it with too much detail and unnecessary lines to make it look "cool".

Same here. He's done a good job since the start and has been getting better.

Do you think there's a chance Goku might win in the manga? He said in the recruitment chapter that he would and it stands out as a little suspicious in light of what happened in the anime and Toriyama saying events between the two would continue to be different.

Dragon Garrow Lee or Naho Ooishi. I really liked her work on the Yo! Son Goku manga and her Bardock story had solid visuals.

Youngjiji is great at imitating Nakatsuru's character designs and style but his action is still kinda stiff and his layouts still need some work. SS4 Goku vs Goku Black shows quite a bit of improvement imo.

Anything can happen really. I wonder what everyone would say if Vegeta or Freeza would win the ToP.

I think people will start questioning how detailed Toriyama's plot outlines are, and how important they are to Toei and Toyotaro, if the resolution of the ToP arc is different between the manga and the anime. I mean, even though the manga and anime went in two completely different directions with Fused Zamasu, they still converged at the "Zeno destroys the timeline" resolution, so if the manga doesn't have "17 wishes the other universes back" as the ToP arc resolution, there would definitely be questions.

I didn't notice that part of my post got cut out. What I was trying to say was that Goku wins and then he gives the Super Dragon Balls to 17 like he said he would in 17's recruitment chapter. The bold is what got cut out.

It would still bring us to the same ending, 17 wishing everyone back, just through a different path. It'd suck to see 17 not get his win though.

It won't be different. It'll still be 17 winning after Goku and Freeza put aside their differences and team up to beat Jiren

Well, that changes things a bit!
To answer that, I think the chances of that are pretty low. 17 being the last man standing seems a little too Toriyama-y, if you catch my drift, so I think the anime and manga plots will converge there, and that bit of the story will be the same.

The beginning and ending of a Super arc are always from Toriyama, that much is guaranteed

The art that is has been really good.

The story so far has been a close second. Even with its flaws, it's more consistent than the anime's.

I can't help but vehemently disagree. I don't think it is a close second nor is it more consistent.

[Bergamo]

I can't help but be skeptical regarding whether or not the next chapter will be related to Kale. I was certain that Chapter 36 was going to be Goku vs Jiren part 2, but it immediately cut to other fighters. I wouldn't be surprised if Jiren one shot Kale at the beginning of the chapter, and then we got Gohan vs Obuni, or whatever. Toyotaro has consistently done the opposite of what everybody expected since the start of the tournament, so there is no reason to believe he will stop now.
