Dang, but I guess it's ok from the looks of it. Toriyama even gave his blessing to do it from what the article read.

I'm really not sure how to feel about this. After Goku and Vegeta went Super Cyan it feels like AT is intentionally trolling the entire world now with his own brand of Dragon Ball AF.

Toriyama isn't that good of a writer imo. we may have forgiven him back then, but now there's alot of good shows out there, and if he's still gonna use the same methods with the story that he used with dbz (the slow pacing, hax power ups, and the sidestepping of all the other characters) then I'm afraid this show won't be up today's standards.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: R565 on April 28, 2015, 05:23:42 pm
Yeah that's the thing about it too. Looking back, DBZ was good for its time but people nowadays don't like the pacing of it. If they are going to make a new series, then they have to change some stuff to the writing formula...
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on April 28, 2015, 05:27:05 pm
Slow pacing was mostly from the anime. The manga didn't advance very fast either, but that's because it was filled with fights, which is, well, the whole point of interest of the thing. The question is, will the new anime give lots of fights and make them go at a normal pace (even if it's just a lot of fight and little plot advancement). I would say that since he wrote two movies before that, hopefully he'll stick to that pace, which means it can't take forever.

Post by: Thagr8test on April 28, 2015, 07:28:23 pm
I won't lie i'm definitely intrigued but as stated above they did kind of stop caring about major characters as the seasons went on, in the buu saga piccolo (one of earth's most powerful fighters might I add) didn't fight let alone throw a SINGLE punch throughout the entire buu saga and that is just unacceptable given the fact krillin, tien, and yamcha even got little fight scenes just adds insult to injury so hopefully they can improve upon past mistakes
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on April 28, 2015, 07:34:46 pm
Resurrection of F is evidently a love letter to the Freeza saga where everyone had a part (except Tenshinhan and Yamcha of course), a part of the movie is all the B- and C-listers fighting off Freeza's army (and attempted something similar in Battle of Gods), so if Toriyama was just getting back to that, there's a big chance he keeps doing it for this series.

Get this over to new Toonami with Sailor Moon Crystal and whatever Gundam's cooking up and I'll have reason to watch AS's version of Toonami again. And maybe we can get Young Justice and Sym-Bionic Titan to return there too...

Since Beerus though, things bigger than Buu continue to annoy me.  You got a practically immortal blob that makes a game out of eating the highest tier of gods in the universe and can up and make said universe go boom if it entertained him.  Beerus just happening to be around and not caring about this bugged me, and now Frieza could make those feats childsplay now that he cared to stop being lazy and trained himself a little.  I'll be curious to see what new trouble it is they got and will most certainly catch the show however I can, but I can't help but feel Buu's relevance is slowly disappearing.

Well at least its not as bad as it is for Perfect Cell getting bumped down to the lowest tier of main villains still somewhat around now I suppose.

Also, if they go Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 2 here and someone's hair turns green, I'm taking that as personal head canon that Broly is the god of his alt. universe.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on April 29, 2015, 05:32:17 pm
For the Buu saga and for what I saw of it (up until Buu's resurrection at the beginning), it doesn't have any added value : it skips the stuff that wasn't in the manga, but it doesn't actually speed up the stuff that was in it but was super slow.
So basically, it's still super slow, and there isn't any visual improvement either. The very beginning during the Raditz fight up to maybe the Namek saga, there were visual improvements, but quickly less and less ; in the Cell saga, there was almost no difference.
In short, the original anime wasn't very good, and the Kai version has no added value, so it's still not very good.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series

Does the American kai add some of the stuff that was censored from the original dub?

Don't forget how they toned down the violence quite a bit.

but that's Toei for you, the shittiest and cheapest animation company ever.

I was disappointed with the re-mastered dbz kai seeing as the graphic weren't updated at all except for opening song and now a new sayain mode my kid self would probably love it but after watching anime over the years I don't think I will be able to watch the new series hopefully they think it over with the new sayain mode but since its one of my all time childhood favorite I will watch a few episodes then decide to continue watching it or not.....

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Chronan on April 30, 2015, 06:46:07 am
Kai has the filler is cut out, the fights have less interruptions(Goku v Cell is soooo good in Kai), and the only major long-lasting power up is Vegeta not-going SSj on Freeza, Goku going SSj the first time, and Vegeta Final Flashing. Pretty much all the bullshit is cut. The whole Namek Saga has a more appropriate feel in Kai too, rather than throwing goofy comic relief in every episode with "What wacky shit are Chi-chi, Yajirobe, and Roshi up to on Earth" *Pan to sky* -or- Bulma's misadventures, you get a series of episodes where Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma are on a planet and they are disconnected from Earth and effectively have no hope. It's handled way better, and as I understand, closer to the manga.

DBKai is a far superior viewing experience to DBZ, to the point I can't actually watch DBZ anymore. Sucks they fucked with some edits and the cropping, but I'd take it over Z. Also the plagiarized soundtrack is pretty excellent overall, if it's still possible to torrent those episodes. The Ginyu Theme alone makes Kai worth it.


I'm not including the Buu Saga my opinion above, since the Kai version so far seems the same as Z with a shorter Saiyaman bit. Actually the Gohan going to school bit thru the martial arts tournament is all I've enjoyed from the Kai Buu Saga so far. After they leave the tournament it seems like the same slow awful Buu Saga from DBZ. :(

Post by: Cazaki on April 30, 2015, 07:38:28 am
I actually agree with chrono on this one. I will say that I missed the early Buu Saga filler and mid-Cell Saga filler though because I remembered it so fondly.

Very excited for the new series, I will go into it without any pre-determined expectations, and just enjoy it for all that it's worth.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Ryūku Tsukuyomi on April 30, 2015, 10:00:08 am
I'm quite worried about this because I can bet all my money that Goku and Vegeta will be the main characters, putting Gohan, Goten, Trunk, Uub, Pan and Bra as supporting characters. Its mainly why I don't really like Buu saga because once again Goku and Vegeta had to finish the job, Gohan barely managed to do anything relevant in this saga. Making Goku and Vegeta the main character again would be pointless and drag down the quality of this sequel, but people will kill Akira if he dares to make other characters beside Goku have relevance in the plot so I wouldn't dream on that. At best we can have something close to the latest movies which are good but clearly far from Frieza saga or Cell saga for example.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on April 30, 2015, 04:44:35 pm
Take a look at the two movies Battle Of Gods and this new Frieza's movie. I do see that Akira Toriyama actually has that old Dragonball twist back in were everyone does something. Remember that when Goku was a kid, all Characters around him were doing something. They were all important somehow. I don't think that there is a rule that every character must fight or something. Some of them are just there for being there. Elder Kai does talk to. Does he have to fight? I mean, is it so that talking or less fighting makes a character less important? Some characters are maybe not right for plots.

Piccolo for example really is really calm. He is there with his mind. It doesn't matter if he fights. It would be Excellent of course but he is still great if he doesn't fight. Of course, I do agree that the characters that knows to fight should fight but, it doesn't really matter. If you look at the two movies, everyone is there with a small or big role. It does look like Akira Toriyama goes back to the idea were everyone becomes important. I believe that this is done slowly and not straight. I just hope to see this done more in the upcomming Dragonball Super Series.

Whatever it takes  to make yourself feel comfortable about spending money on ~100 extra episodes of shitty filler and slow, heavily interrupted, uninteresting interactions, and drawn out battles repeating the same scenes over and over again, or the stereotypical power up shout sequences.  :Mr-T:

I'll take my 98 episodes of Kai over 194 episodes of slow-paced filler-filled DBZ any day. :)



As far as the new series go I'd rather them take in a direction that feels more like Dragon Ball, sort of like that anniversary movie, where they weren't fighting against the most super power bad guys ever type thing. But in the end as long as they can keep that good Akira Toriyama feel with the character interactions it's fine by me, I probably won't care if they go beyond Buu or anything as long as it's a fun experience instead of an annoying one (GT).

Ok, so trained a LOT and educated himself in the finer parts of Earth's pop culture.  Still somewhat bugs me.

I'm on the Z side of this Kai/Z debate.  There's some charm to Dragon Ball's world building even with the silliest and most non-essential excuses.  Like Goku learning to dress like Fred Flintstone and getting his license.  Or 16, 17 and 18 messing with some teens in their race.  And Gohan actually trained and learned some things before Nappa and Vegeta showed up.

It'd be hell to go through and watch all over again though.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Jango on May 01, 2015, 04:01:54 am
There was one particular scene in Z that I thought was handled really well that was better than the manga (dunno about Kai, didn't watch).

When Yamcha and the Saibamen are fighting, they seemingly disappear, and Gohan's all "Where are they?" and Piccolo's like "Idiot, they're moving super fast. We can all see them except you!"

When Z had the scene, Piccolo calmly helped Gohan "see" them, strengthening his connection to Gohan and making me actually give a shit when Piccolo got killed.

It's fine if you have terrible taste and prefer Kai, its awful "remastered" look with terrible cropping and super toned down violence, just don't claim it's superior, and that you can't handle the old series because you have some kind of ADD or something.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: AlexSin on May 01, 2015, 10:55:55 am
I like the Z version more than Kai.
I actually like the fillers and how it looks. Kai is the abridged version and sincerely it adds nothing, it cuts stuff that I also liked.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on May 03, 2015, 05:09:17 pm
Cell never reached his Perfect form and no Saiyan reached SSJ2 form, so Babidi never went to Earth and probably never found anyone strong enough to revive Buu. It's a non-issue for Future Trunks.
On the other hand, Beerus should still hear of Freeza's death and look for a Saiyan expecting to find the Super Saiyan God, so when there's only Trunks left, he should blow up Earth in frustration... Unless Whis realizes soon enough that Goku is dead and doesn't bring Beerus to Earth at all.
But I just don't think the Future timeline will ever be relevant again.

Doesn't XV actually explain that? I mean sure,  it's a game, we don't know if it's canon (Unless the Supreme Kai of time, Towa or Mira show up on the next movie)
Pretty much what DKDC said, plus the time patrol was formed because it was brought to The supreme Kai of Time that Trunk altered a timeline and he had to join to make up for it.
I think the Fukkatsu no F manga and movie also explain that Whis tends to also alter the time whenever Bills goes out of control so they could open themselves to expand on that.

XV (or any game) has nothing to do with the canon Toriyama is doing with the show. There's different variations to the timeline, but it usually goes;

Manga (original, Minus, Jaco, etc) + BoG and RoF
Cartoon (No films, kai being the new filler-less canon), + Goku & Friends,  BoG and RoF

Then you have several splinter canons, using various films (original 13) that really can't be used in conjunction with one another and show. It's a mess. Also, GT is out. It's not tied to Super.

Ive seen mentioned in some dbz sites eve rsince the first movie some people saying that Broly was actually a god form all along.
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i104/JAG2000/Broly_Hottie.jpg)
the justification was that Goku needed six super sayans with a pure heart to believe in him for him to unlock his own powers and Broly had several super sayans with black hearts fearing him as a child.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmEVi62ZhlU


That and a few more things like some of freeza moves being "God" powered instead of just pure ki, like death beam and death ball.

Post by: Kairi on May 17, 2015, 01:07:21 am
It's just a coincidence. Broly's hair was that shade due to the device being on him, and nothing more. In his very first film it comes off, and his hair is yellow. There's really no debate to that.

I remember that a member of my familly told me, 10 or 12 years ago, that the real legendary warrior was... Goten, because a friend of him that was travelling to japan has seen a movie with goten with blue hairs. (It was probably a fanmade movie or stuff).

Now that I'm thinking about it, shit! It's just impressive that now the new level of transformations is blue hairs! It's awesome! :D illuminatiforthewin

I know that Launch gives energy to Goku's Genkidama. That was a few seconds just like We saw Android 8 from Dragonball. It was a nice little cameo appearance of them. I do get it that Launch could confuse with her hair after sneezing but, xhenron could fix that problem for her. They have any kind of wishes. Why not a wish for Launch? It doesn't have to be filler or included. It could be just mentioned in The Series there.

They met Uub 7 years after the defeat of Majin Buu. This could take place before they met Uub actually. Just like the latest movies. That's what I think. If not, We have a chance to see Adult Goten and Adult Trunks just like in the end of Dragonball Z there.

Check out Vegeta's new design, his tights should be harder to make and isn't that noticeable (a bit like a Tron suit except not glowing). It's really just a way to say, okay, it's been decades, let's try to change some stuff here and there, we don't want to keep the same designs for 15 more years. But it still has to be familiar.

Saiyans are always gaining more power alone and together. They should do the same for the humans like Tien, Yamcha and Krillin. I won't say fusion but, a new route for them is needed to gain more for the Characters. For example, I am not saying canon or uncanon but, when Tien fought Trunks in the tournament in Bojack's Movie, you could see that Tien was as strong as Trunks. This changed dramaticly when Trunks became SSJ and Tien was knocked into the water. A SSJ shouldn't discard humans so fast in The Series.

I don't get why they're still so young. Gohan and Videl are married, Pan was in the oven for the first movie, I thought I remember Bills saying he was going to sleep for 3 more years at the end of the first movie so the second should be after that (though I think she's 4 in the original DB epilogue ? And she should be around 2 in the Resurrection movie if 3 years have indeed passed), and yet they still look younger than Gohan did in the Cell saga (they look more like how he was between Freeza's return and the android saga).
That being said, if 3 years did pass between the first and second God movies, there should be less than 2 years before the original epilogue, so there's a chance this DBSuper series will go beyond the original Uub fight.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 14, 2015, 10:00:45 pm
Kid Buu's death
Battle of Gods : Videl is pregnant, Bills says he'll sleep for 3 more years
Resurrection
Dragon Ball Super goes here
Uub tournament : Pan is 4 years old

Unless Bills wakes up early in Resurrection, then Pan is a bit over 2 years old during Resurrection. That means there is less than 2 years from Resurrection to the Uub tournament. And either way, since Videl is pregnant, Battle of Gods happens less than 5 years before the Uub tournament.

In the first place, if Pan is 4 during the Uub tournament and the Uub tournament happens 10 years after Kid Buu's death, then Goten and Trunks should have already been somewhere between 12 and 14 years old during Battle of Gods. They should have looked a bit older than they did during the Buu Saga. It worked well for Gohan, growing up between Namek, Freeza's return, the Android Saga, and the Cell Saga. But somehow they forgot to update the look of the kids for the Gods movie, then in the Resurrection movie (though I don't even know if they show up there), and clearly, still not here. But we know they look tall during the Uub tournament.

So I'm saying, someone screwed up and/or got a bit lazy on that.

There's three years (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/World_Martial_Arts_Tournament#23rd) between the Goku/Ten Shin Han tournament & death of King Piccolo and the Piccolo Jr./Goku tournament. But yeah, good point. Although it completely didn't happen with Gohan, so we might fall in the "it's true for a full blooded Saiyan but not for a half-blooded one" and Goten is half Saiyan... In short, I'm not completely convinced. It just feels weird.

Oh, especially because of Future Trunks. He was something like 13 during the first part of the Android attack, when Future Gohan dies (and then further when Future Trunks uses the time machine for the first time), and he was already much taller than Trunks in the Gods movie (who should already be around the same age). That fits with how much Cell Saga Gohan grew.

Wait does that mean Fukkatsu no F is irrelevant to this show? I was already barely understanding why they were making a new series that occur before the end of the manga, but now they simply decide to have this series occur before even Fukkatsu no F? Is it to not make people mad and give Goku and Vegeta their old suits? Or is it simply because they don't wanna use Ssjgodss ? In that case why even create it? Ugh what were they thinking. Plus it seems we are getting a multiverse plot-line like BoG teased which imo will quickly get boring. Oh well I'll still watch it but I will drop it if it ever star to get boring.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 15, 2015, 10:16:30 am
I'm pretty sure the series happens after Resurrection. It was most likely created specifically to lead into the new series, in fact. My guess is, Battle of Gods was a "test" just for something Toriyama wanted to make, and when it worked, they decided to make a series about Bills and the whole multiverse, but they didn't want to limit themselves with the conditions they came up with for SSGod.
For the costumes, we've already seen Goku and Vegeta wear the new ones for the series, so maybe it'll span a long period of time that starts before the movies but quickly moves on to after the movies ? Krillin's, Gohan's, Videl's design there are the ones from the Gods movie too, right ?

Ooh, so it starts right after Kid Buu's defeat and before the movies, okay, that explains the outfits in the visuals. And there's still a chance to see the kids grow, and of course, considering they already showed that Goku's Resurrection outfit would show up, it should span across the whole of the 10 years before the Uub tournament.
It's just a question of how long it will take to get past the two movies, then.

I approve of this! My favorite thing about DB/Z and Akira Toriyama's stuff anymore are the goofy characters and their interactions with one another. I'm not a fan of the GodSSj stuff either, but I'll take it if it's what I need to see some proper DBZ again.

This series takes place sometime after BoG and before RoF. Goku and such are aware of Bills and Whis' existence, as well as the other Gods. In terms of Vegeta's armour...I'm stumped on that too
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 27, 2015, 08:16:35 pm
We've been over that. The series starts just after Kid Buu's defeat, but it will tie into the Resurrection movie, so it's likely that it'll just cover most of the time gap between Kid Buu's defeat and the Uub tournament epilogue.
As for the armor, Vegeta had it in Battle of Gods too, as well as the short movie with Tarble (Vegeta's brother). The Majin Buu outfit was just his training gear, he came to the tournament with that because he didn't take it seriously, not thinking he'd need to fight a massive fight.

i was going too go with your theory but i saw vegeta in the same training gear in the movie dbz wrath of the dragon and dbz fusion reborn.(although in fusion reborn hes already dead but gets hes body somehow back to help goku against janemba which means its probably during the time of the buu saga) i think toriyama liked hes regular saiyan costume with armor more than the one we saw in buu saga thats why he decided to use it again for the new series.

The movies aren't really relevant, they're written by different people and they're specifically made to look close enough to what's actually happening in the series around the same time. I'm pretty sure it came up in the Tarble short movie that in normal time, he'd stick with his armor. Of course you could call that a change of mind since the Buu saga, but at the end of the day, that's just how it went.

I look forward to the reworked SSJ4 as a new god form where the fur's black and the hair's pink.

I still want to hold to the idea that Broly's just one of those people in one of these alt. universes that they didn't have in theirs, unlikely that it'd be.  Being as popular as he is, would be nice to drop the non-canon bit now that the seires is returning.  While they have opportunity to do just what Dragonball did and GT attempted again, there's nothing stopping one or two universes from being identical, minus one or two key events like, say, a Legendary Super Saiyan.

Or maybe I'm just too used to DBM now.

The wish to erase everyone's memory is 6 months after Buu's defeat. I'm not seeing any info about how much time has passed since that. If Gohan and Videl are out of school, it would rather mean that this is a couple of years later. Satan built them a house and the journalists mention the world peace prize does seem to be coming late.

Probably not, he was a movie-only thing, and Gotenks didn't really work out, popularity-wise (seeing the treatment he got). Plus it'd be too much of a reminder of DBGT, so I'm not sure Toriyama would care to go there.
Not to mention he's doing this because he wants to get away from power levels and wants to do new concepts, fusions and absorptions are probably not on the list.

That works too.

Well the movie did have a few differences than what it should have had..
Goku actually fought beerus in all 3 forms in kai. like, he went SSJ failed, then 2, then 3 rather than going 1,2,3 before even fighting.
after he lost he said the only way he could stand up to Beerus is if he fused with Vegeta again (again, meaning Vegetto) but he also said that he doubted that fusing would help any
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on July 29, 2015, 08:51:50 am
Bringing Vegetto back would be wheird as they focus on Goku's trainings and newer stronger forms. It's all about Goku surpassing himself and becoming stronger. Goku complained about his SSG power he got from his friends as it was a level he couldn't reach by his own. So he actually says that he doesn't want any help but only wants Vegeta's support in becomming Vegetto?

The potara's are destroyed and it doesn't seem necessary to scrap the whole thing that happened during the Buu Saga as they refused to ever use the earrings again. and Vegetto back. It would be strange for further development and a excuse to bring back Vegetto. I could understand if Beerus challenged both Goku and Vegeta at the same time. I could then say that they could do so but if time will play a role, then I guess Gogetta would be the best choice. Besides that, the potara fusion is permanent. What could cause them to split in Goku and Vegeta again?

But what's difficult to comprehend is that they didn't even take the work they have already done on the movie. Even if they would need to rework it a bit, reedit it here and there so it fits the new dialog lines if needed, why start over from nothing ?

I just got around to watching this episode (EP. 6), and I have to say it's pretty decent. Seems Vegeta in particular is getting a lot of development here like with the flashback with Beerus (it shows he really does care for his people subsciously) but it's a shame being TOEI they're making Krillin the plucky comic relief like in the old movies. You can one-note Chi-Chi and Muten Roshi all you want but leave Krillin alone!  :bigcry:

The animation's still pretty bad but it's definitely a step up from the mock-worthy animation from the last episode.

But I like how they made Beerus more antagonistic during his confrontation with Majin Boo but he went overboard. I mean, I wanted Majin Boo to get his pink raggedy-ass kicked all over the place but I didn't want him to die (almost).

I'm pretty sure he did in the Buu saga. I'm sure there are people who think he couldn't do it before going Majin (which isn't proven), but surely he must use that form after the Vegetto break up.

If dende can sense his energy and the others cant, then these gods are the same kind of power Dende ( and kami) use. Wonder if that will come around and be a plot point down the line.

Apparently the manga must be something like one chapter every two weeks, it's at the third chapter, and yet it's still faster than the anime already (and further than the next episode, probably).

it also has better transformation sequences than all 3 mentioned above as well as better team chemistry and better transformaiton sequences (we also finally have a yellow cure who is not only relevant and not just either filler or pedo-bait but is also best girl!)

I just presumed "precure" was an anime disease not yet cured.

I've not been following Super all that closely, just up to the Briefs' family vacation thus far.  Still not sure why they need to retell the whole recent movie, when you have the actual movie there.  Spend the time reworking Broly into something better and canon or something.  But it's been good up to that point so far at least.

oh no, its too late. but i'll save it for the general anime thread instead.

why would you want them to re-invent a character whose only redeeming quality is being stronger and bigger than everyone else until the plot decides it's stime to wrap things up and have the good guys win with the magic of friendship. and who also has the stupidest reason to hate the mc (fuck,he had more of a reason to hate vegeta instead but that went nowhere because vegeta is irrelevant either way)

they should instead focus on more interesting characters and plots (all while not making it too obvious that they are just pulliing power levels up their asses for the convenince of the "plot")
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 26, 2015, 06:36:59 am
You kinda just listed why he could use the reworking as per his backstory, as for why bothering, simple enough; amongst the many DBZ movies he's one of if not the most popular movie villain.  Given they now intend for multiple universes, likely some sharing some crucial points in time and some diverting quite drastically, and each focusing on a God of Destruction, it's not that big a stretch to change Broly's story to make him the god of his universe with his unique form.

A little mental sickness here for Broly focused on Goku and any sharing his common Saiyan appearance, a little god training there for Godku, heck you can work in where he achieves Super Cyan to stop Broly.

That's just my suggestion though.  Whatever they have planned, I'd just like to see them possibly acknowledge the other movie villains in some form.

Post by: Ryūku Tsukuyomi on August 26, 2015, 06:59:04 am
I believe we had enough stupid shit with Broly already and I totally agree with Wolf about the character overall. He is like every movies opponent before the Tapion Movie = A recycling of things we already saw before. Broly is basically some sort of weird potala fusion between the Incredible Hulk and Trunks. I mean come on he looks more like Super Trunks on steroid than a real good ol' Dragon Ball opponent like King Piccolo, Cell or even Freeza. I believe Dragon Ball Heroes proved multiple times how bad of an idea it would be to do more content with this guy, I know its a fan favorite but bringing him back would be pure stupid fan service.

Would it be acceptable to rephrase that to "rarely"? Because out of the plethora of episodes in both DB and DBZ, only very specific episodes by specific directors have decent animation (So only a couple of scenes in those videos. The rest rely on the whole "They're moving so fast they're teleporting" argument to save a bunch of animation frames)

Db is actually widely known for having some of the best returning animation directors of the time.

Some animation classes use them as examples a lot.

( thats part of why there are so many complaints about that one episode, it stood out as specially bad )
Title: Re: Hyperbole?
Post by: Ryūku Tsukuyomi on August 30, 2015, 02:18:38 pm
So basically its okay to accept an animation even worse than some of the worse episodes of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z? in 2015? it was more acceptable in the 90' because most of the anime suffered from the sames problems, but in our modern society its unacceptable especially on such an important franchise. Hunter x Hunter 2011 is the best example to show that its not a matter of "too much episodes", its just that they don't give a shit. But then again we should have expected that from Toei (well I did because I had the courage to try their 2000' productions).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 30, 2015, 02:26:27 pm
For 10 minutes of good animation, there were like 5 hours of terrible animation in DBZ. Most of the Cell Saga, outside of some specific parts of some fights, was just plain bad.
Also, the techniques have changed so much, I really don't think they would be capable of recreating similar fight scenes today as they did in some of those videos. Good animation today is something else that requires more work.

I thought the complains were because it was basically the same scene from BoG but with classic Toei QUALITY and people were wondering why didn't they recycle the footage from the movie.

But then again we should have expected that from Toei (well I did because I had the courage to try their 2000' productions).
Yeah, Toei can't really compare to Madhouse at this point, the problem might be that Toei goes for quantity over quality (How many Toei shows are airing this season? Whatever is the current Precure series, Dragon Ball Super, Saint Seiya Soul of Gold  and tons of other shows, while Madhouse is only working on Ushio & Tora and Overlord)
And again, yeah. Those series might have one or two episodes with above average animation (I know choreography on early Precure series was really good) but as pointed out, it's not proportional to the length of the series.

I'll admit DB and especially DBZ (around when Goku becomes SSJ) is filled with ups and downs in animation quality between episodes but Super has been consistently average/poor. Even GT looks better than Super.

I'd rather art/animation with some rough patches than something that's overall unappealing to look at.

There's been 7 8 episodes of Super, you can't compare that to the several hundreds of DBZ. You can easily find series of 10 episodes in a row in DBZ that were consistently bad. The problem with Super is that there was one super weird episode (the Pilaf Gang episode) followed by an absolutely horrible episode (the fight) that already had a better version in the movie, and no one can understand why the hell Toei redid that sequence so badly.

Toei is a terrible animation company, it holds rights to the most popular mangas in japan and it knows that, therefore it also know that however shitty it's animes are, people (specifically kids) are gonna eat it up like it was god sent because of the popularity of the source.

they ruined the one piece anime, alot of design choices, subtle details and easter eggs that Oda put in the manga were ignored for the sake of rushing out episodes.

Bad animation aside I don't understand the draw of this series or the more recent movies. All of these so called new changes to the series seem superficial at best imo and its seems they've literally taken things people said as sarcasm about the series as inspiration ex. " whats next blue hair super saiyan? " the name of that transformation alone is ridiculous but seriously after years of absence beside those terrible games they've been making that's the best they could do? I just feel like they've been doing the bare minimum all this time with these half ass developments for the series but a little bad animation is where people draw the line? Kaioken goku is now god form and thats fine, hey let's slap blue hair on goku and vegeta and bring back frieza only to immediately kill him yep that's fine and hey while we're at it lets continue the trend of EVERYONE not  named goku or vegeta is absolutely irrelevant and vegeta's sole purpose is to perpetually make new transformations useless and thats all fine but a few shit scenes is what you guys are debating?

I dont think any of this would be so bad if there hadnt been the movies first.

As it stands it looks as if the movies were a test to gauge interest and the show was approved later.

Before we had no idea what was going to happen, so it was always interesting, now we already know how the plotline continues so everything else feels odd.
This new episode had vegeta fight with beerus, next episode seems to be about goku unlocking God form Another 2 episodes for the beerus vs goku fight and i guess we start getting original material then?

This is ep 8, ep 9 unlocks SSG, then the fight will be over by the end of ep 11, so yeah, first cour = BoG. Resurrection should come later, I expect the second cour will include Goku's and Vegeta's training under Bills and Whis, likely have Vegeta try out the God form. Toei can easily make it last until cour 3 by the time we start talking about Resurrection (we'll get some shenanigans with Sorbet and co. at this point for one or two more episodes before they get a good lead on the Dragon Balls). The Dragon Balls need a year to be used a second time, so Sorbet and Pilaf can have some fillers.
And then there's the whole thing with Champa that we still haven't seen in the anime for some reason. How come the manga is already there but there hasn't been a word about it in the anime ?

There have been three chapters, Champa came up in the second (or maybe even the end of the first), and he's interacted with Shibito and Elder Kai already, mentioning he was looking for those giant wish orbs that people don't remember still exist.
I'm wondering if Toei isn't dragging because they haven't bothered to make him ready for animations and voicing, and they're just running with what they already have from the movies. Hell, I don't even know if Toei will some day catch up with the Champa storyline at all, because after all, nothing actually said the manga and the anime would be the same thing, IINM. Toriyama wrote his new story but it's possible Toei doesn't give a shit, at least not right now while they have stuff they can still use.

Did Chi-Chi just defend Vegeta's parenting skills? If so, it destroys any notion of her hating him (or vice-versa). I'm glad they finally decided to write her and Muten Roshi outside their tropes. Hope they keep in that scene of Goku's vision.

The pacing is just I expected... the entire episode was around the ritual, and the animation's just as bland and stilted as usual.

The most interesting thing about this episode is the SSJG transformation is treated as more of a transformation of a god.... and SSJ Videl. I also liked how Mr. Satan knocked Gohan away from hugging his wife.
Mr. Satan > Bulma > Gohan confirmed

I haven't been watching Super a lot (stopped at episode 4 for now, got busy).
How is it so far overall? Still an episodic version of the movie?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 27, 2015, 10:57:20 pm
Yeah, the Goku-Bills fight started last episode, and this week upped it to eleven and then some. A bunch of episodes were absolutely shitty, but clearly it was because this one ate all the budget (last week was nice too). The fight itself is pretty good. But then, it's still a retelling of the first movie (they're pushing the stakes up a lot, though), and they're clearly taking their sweet time, the fight is not even over yet (well, it took its time getting into it, the fight is about to take three episodes which is to be expected).
The manga summed up the entire preparation to the fight in literally five panels (but OTOH it missed this part about the both of them almost shattering the universe in two blows each) and is already moving on to the Champa (or whatever his name is, I can't remember) arc. With "giant wish orbs" that are apparently hinted to be the size of a freaking planet.

i gave up on this series until it gets to a new story-telling point, the animation looks awesome in some episodes wont lie but i dont really like a re-telling of a movie in a smaller,episodic format. I liked the whole "Slice-of-life" style it had in the first episode, it was fresh and a nice change of pace from a series that goes straight into battle mode.

Episode 15 (October 17, 2015)

勇者サタンよ奇跡を起こせ!宇宙からの挑戦状!!
Yūsha Satan yo Kiseki o Okose! Uchū Kara no Chōsenjō!!
Heroic Satan, Cause a Miracle! A Challenge From Outer Space!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thoughts:

Meh episode... dislike the art/animation. It was completely flat and clearly done on a budget.... and just as I expected, Chi-Chi was used for cheap laughs but it bugs me here particularly since it's not even consistent with her character in the anime during their better days (hell in the episode "He's Always Late", she said herself she can't be Goku-sa's wife if she got angry over every little thing). It's sucks that they're now making a lame joke into a plot point.... but at least they remember she's supposed to be extremely strong by effortlessly carrying a huge load (though Piccolo's is considerably bigger).

Also, I hope those lion-people never return. They're not funny outside maybe the big one being scared of Bee but that's only cuz it was unexpected... Mr. Satan salvages this episode aside from the humans buying into him being a god.

The next episode would surely be better... *crosses-fingers*

Post by: Chronan on October 19, 2015, 08:02:24 pm
I gotta disagree with D. I liked episode 15, it was a character-interaction comic relief one. It was written a bit of a mess, being Satan-centered and so lots of plot convenience for his sake, but Goku getting punched by Satan was probably one of the funnier things I've seen in the series! Also Piccolo being Chi-chis bitch was great. Gohan's predictable cooking skills was great. Satan's imagination was entertaining. And Bee scaring the strongest Snak warrior was good.

I've personally not been a fan of Satan's lying or cowardice but that is standard fair for his character. This episode is the sort of comical madness Dragon Ball and Toriyama's other works had that Z/Kai mostly lost. I'm glad this series is bringing it back to where it started in certain ways. There hasn't been much sense of adventure/mystery but the world is already established I guess. :(


If you are looking for plot advancement though, this one didn't advance the story outside of Goku needs to work again and Satan is now regarded as a hero of the universe instead of just Earth. So it's pretty much a skip-able episode, though I wouldn't recommend skipping it. It's pretty funny if like that Toriyama style goofy shit.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 19, 2015, 08:23:38 pm
if it's about nitpicking, it's weird that satan was strong enough to run away from that guy, yet unabel to fight against him; while that's normal irl, in dragon ball rules it's werd that them being so close in strength satan did not fight back, I mean, their level are first budokai tier.

Anyways, did anyone feel sorry for Goku at the end of the latest episode? I mean, he skipped out on dinner and knowing Goku that's a pretty big deal. The worst part is that it's over something that's not even his fault. Mr. Satan dragged him into it.

The fuck is wrong with TOEI and their twisted humor? No one should be so afraid of a family member that they hide outside having to miss dinner. :mcry:

Personally I think it would've been easier if they would've just named the 1st Super Saiyan God form "Saiyan God" because the 1st form is kinda like a normal younger looking Goku that looks like he is in a way more powerful version of Kaiyoken (I say this because of the red flame like aura that surrounds him and because of the red hair and his hair stays normal and it doesn't rise up and look spikey like a regular Super Saiyan does). Then when he actually goes Super Saiyan while in God form, then they could've just called it "Super Saiyan God". It would've made things far more simple with the names, especially if they plan on making them even stronger. (Hence like if they go further beyond while in that form and possibly go Super Saiyan 2 or 3 while in God form, then they simple could call it "Super Saiyan God 2 or 3 or SSG 2 or SSG 3"

To me that would've made way more sense than labeling it Super Saiyan Blue, unless he plans on giving them different colors if they get even stronger than Blue...

About the 15th episode, it seems Akira forgot about DragonBall (Kid Goku's story), I mean, there was a dog mayor (or mayor dog?) (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/6/62/King_Furry02.png/revision/latest?cb=20100217203351), there were Red Ribbon soldiers who were dogs (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/7/74/WhiteScouts15.png/revision/latest?cb=20110826162717), the same Shu (Pilaf's gang) (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/4/4a/ShuS3.png/revision/latest?cb=20130626233957) shown in the Battle of Gods episodes... so those Snak aliens didn't do their research carefully.

But apart from that it was a nice episode, also nice touch when they set the arena and the golden statue was on the floor. ;D

I just don't like how they made most of the other Z fighters kinda useless or rather don't fight as much anymore. Its mainly focusing on Goku and Vegeta. It would be nice to see a way for Gohan, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, or even Krillin to increase their strength to be something more than where it is now. I know everyone  can't be strong like Goku and Vegeta but, Piccolo hasn't gotten a boost in strength/speed since becoming a Super Namek.

I know (I'm still hoping it's because they realized they should be growing up a bit by now, Trunks should be as he was when he killed Freeza at 13 at that point), but it's a promo art for an upcoming arc, I don't see anything strange or foreshadowing of anything in it.

We've had this conversation before, and there was a three years gap when he grew up while training at Kami's place. Plus Future Trunks when he killed Freeza was 13, which is younger than what he should be during the Freeza movie (8 in the Buu saga, 10 years later he's 18, Pan is 4, so during the Freeza movie, he should be at least 14, which is older than Future Trunks was the first time)

Yea your right. Things have yet to be revealed so you never know what might happen.

Is it a stretch to assume the staff for Super is fileld with Vegeta x Bulma fans and Goku x Chi-Chi haters...?

I mean, the show is filled with moments for Vegeta x Bulma ... it's like the show was practically made for them. Goku x Chi-Chi however does not get that kind of love from Toei at all (hell Gohan x Videl and Krillin x 18 get more love) which is ironic since the original anime was filled with moments for them even though they went over-the-top with Chi-Chi's character as well. Outside maybe that one scene in episode 14 where Goku never died against Beerus, we never get even a slight sense that Goku values Chi-Chi as anything but an obligation... in fact the latest episode hints that he resents the way that she is and the episode before it also hints she shares that notion for Goku... all with no compromise and the ending for that episode was more heartbreaking than funny  :'( . Even the opening has her yelling at and chasing after Goku and Goten when they pulled out that long turnip like it's their fault.

Though this could be the fault of a particular writer (Yoshifumi Fukushima) seems to get all the Goku x Chi-Chi centric episodes and unfortunately, he's handling the next episode as well.

What could be the cause of all this? Is it cuz that's how people remember Goku x Chi-Chi's relationship (and Chi-Chi's character) best so Toei tries to plays into that? Did Goku x Chi-Chi suddenly fall rapidly behind in popularity to the other couples in Japan with Vegeta x Bulma in the lead? Or is there some joke behind it that Japanese people get but is flying over my head? Or they just suck at writing in general?

goku and chichi was a horrible relationship with no love since the start; rememebr that they got married becasue goku did not even fucking know what marriage was and since he was hot and strong, chichi wanted to marry him regardless.

How come Tagoma and co were able to use the Dragon Balls if it's been 6 months since the BOF arc ended?
And why were they offered  3 wishes instead of the 2 that the movie offered.

I did like the changes to the OP though

The Dragon Balls as recreated by Dende have 3 wishes (2 if you revive a massive number of people, not the case here), and they didn't use all those wishes in Battle of Gods, so the Dragon Balls could be reactivated without waiting a year.
But if the Freeza revival is using the wishes not used in the Battle of Gods arc, then yeah, it should probably be two and not three...
Just watching the latest episode now, and, hah, they changed the opening to show Super Saiyan Blue instead of Super Saiyan God.
Personally, I'm more concerned by Freeza's regeneration having him come out of the pod with his armor.

Gohan still has that power. He just didn't train and it is harder for him to draw it out now. Ginyu's body change was funny but, it got me thinking. If that frog Ginyu could just change bodies with just writing the word, this means he could do it earlier. The boost given to Frieza doesn't feel good. It makes the word training sound weak if you compare it with Goku's training. What Goku achieved in years, Frieza achieved it in four months. That makes it out of place. Even so, it is a great Manga and Anime.

It's not weird that freeza's power changed so drastically to catch up, seeing as how he was extremely strong from the get go. His boost wouldn't be the same as goku. I loved ginyu coming back. I hate how everyone is so damn weak. I doubt 18 fights. Goku and vegeta are showing up next ep.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Wolf on December 08, 2015, 04:39:39 am
What Goku achieved in years, Frieza achieved it in four months.
that's the whole point. that frieza is supposed to be this over-the-top adversary who achieved this ridiculous power without any effor while everyone else has to level up like crazy to catch up. so, naturaly is this really atrong adversary would take the time to train like the hero does and level up then he would gain an insane level up. but of course since frieza is so lazy and full of himself and not used to training he just went ready to battle right after leveling up, if he ahd trainedharder the heroes wouldn't have stood a chance!

... or at least that's the idea. if that had been the case the heroes would have won by some other bullshit. like for example instead of going super ultra saiyan iv turbo: the new hair collor (or whatever the hell is called) they would have started the fight in the previous level and transformed mid-fight.

this is further proof that DBZ power levels (or power levels in general) are bullshit and can chance arbitrary based on what the author needs to add tension to the plot. it's just much more over the top in DBZ becasue the power levels are on planet destroying with a single beam level

which also brings me to this:

I love that Ginyu came back, I was happy as soon as I saw him when Freeza first revived ad was hoping they'd do something with his froginess. Always good to see Roshi in on the action too.

Poor Piccolo though. I guess he let off on his training too.. :( Not a fan of how much Piccolo seems to have dropped in strength or his actual strength just forgotten, but I guess they will never make him any where near a Saiyan again. It's sucks because he's such a good character. Gohan's strength drop makes sense like in the start of the Majin Buu saga, its a bit sad but it's cool to see people don't just remain super badass if they slack for years and years.
 
I don't like the pacing of the Freeza stuff so far either, things are happening too fast in some spots, characters get introduced, proven tough, and fall in a minute of viewing time (Red guy, and effectively Tagoma despite my Ginyu fetish). Happens as well with Freezas exposition of training, he finishes talking about his upcoming training and you're led to assume X months go by as soon as the next scene starts, it doesn't give any indication that time passed by.

I am happy to see the 3D-CG crap doesn't seem to be making an appearance too! Was not a fan of it in Fukkatsu, it looked completely out of place.

which also brings me to this:

mushoku tensei also did power levels, it had 7 (elementary, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor , god), but it was made in a way that not only did the levels made sense, but in a proper situation, multiple persons of a level could take on/defeat someone 2-3 levels higher (a 4 persons mixed group of  intermediate and advanced defeated a saint, same group against an emperor made him retreat, two kings can defeat a god, an even stronger god is still a fair fight againt a saint healer, king tank and two emperor attackers ).

too bad that, besides fusion, dragon ball does not really give any advantages to 2+ vs 1, even if whiz said otherwise.

[EDIT]
or funnily enoguh, after I typed that I watched a ranma recap episode and it reminded em that what that show did was power down ranma ocasionally, so the power levels would not go crazy. very noticeable on the hiryu shotenha arc.

Post by: Byakko on December 08, 2015, 11:30:19 am
Gohan mentions Ginyu in Tagoma's body is about as strong as Gohan at his max, that means over Super Perfect Cell level, around Ultimate Gohan, who is around SSJ3 Goku. Piccolo's strength didn't drop, it just didn't increase like crazy. He's still around Androids/early Cell level (depends on his last training before Perfect Cell tournament), below Dabura.

What I'm disappointed about is that Tagoma's and Sorbet's friendship in the movie was kinda nice (it was sad to watch Tagoma get killed by Freeza), and that's gone because "I saw Hell".
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on December 08, 2015, 11:43:01 am
I feel like everyone was pretty much normalized in an attempt to bring the powerleveling down.

Red dude was said to be Zarbon level and Gohan still treated him like a challenge
Gohan doesnt seem to be going ssj2 , so I guess Tagoma would be around second phase cell level

The kids getting the hell out of dodge was fine too, it shows and implies that power leveling is just not really everything anymore. Instead specific moves seem to be more or less dangerous no matter the level ( Freeza death beams for instance)

I really hope they dont resort to power levels bull again, it was always the big massive flaw with dragonball, and it rapidly made the characters useless.

Champa says that they need their own saiyans in The Manga. I guess he just found one. If you look at the cover you see, Goku in front. Next Vegeta, Piccolo, Buu and that new guy. Champa's team has the purple guy hit in front, Next is little Saiyan Cabe, Frost, Botamo, Magetta. Could this be the ordering from strong to weak?

Goku - Hit
Vegeta - Cabe
Piccolo - Frost
Buu - Batoma
new guy - Magetta

Also, Magetta reminds Me of Gato from Chrono Trigger.

Quick Google search say dragon ball udm burst figures are simply gashapon keychains that aren't specifically tied to super. This is wave 16, and previous waves have included stuff like ssj4 gogeta, ssj4 Goku, bejito, broly, uub, coola, even ssj3 gogeta. So, not Super. This wave just includes Super stuff. Apparently the next wave even has masked Bardock from Xenoverse, which isn't the same version as this ssj3 Bardock, so obviously they don't care about mixing incompatible sources.

those were still firmly part of the retells werent them?

It almost feels like they were doing the show so far so that people wouldnt be forced to watch the movies to get situated in the show, and so they sped through everything that was some sort of a retell.

things like pan birth episodes, the alien cats, vegeta training with beerus, vegeta and whis, stuff that was solidly not in the movies seems to be always better done to me so far.

Really sad to know that Toriyama is disappointed with the shitty animation.
Here's a resume of what he said.
Akira Toriyama said:
“Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live-action movie (DB Evolution), re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I’m complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much I can’t leave it alone“.

In other words, he's back to DB because of the big shit DB Evolution was. And maybe he'll continue making all-new DB stuff.
Well, so that's a good thing coming from DB Evolution, it makes Toriyama back to DB lol. :P (even though many people keep thinking is because DB GT...)

and now it seems like Toei pressuring him to keep the series alive.

Yeah, everything since battle of gods was stuff he wanted to do for a while and get away from numbers and power levels.
Not sure how well that's going, Toei is still trying to put numbers on golden freeza and we still don't know what he wants to do with the other universes beside the mirror one.

he wantd to leave back then, because being overworked and the only thign he had done for years and stuff. he took a nice break from it after the buu saga and felt like going back to it; I'd say it's kinda weird that eh complains about the quality of super since z was worse , but what I know, maybe he complained about zeta a lot back then and people just disregard that because of theri found memories of zeta. and yes, zeta is the one I talk about when I coplmani about people comparing zeta promotional art (not screen captures) to super's inbetween frames.

Going off tangent a tiny bit, there were certainly lower quality episodes of DBZ that some people that have watched the show thoroughly haven't noticed even after multiple watch throughs, though those usually were filler episodes. The quality drops in Super are entirely more noticeable. I'm just afraid that with the amount of episodes in the series that they won't even be fixed for the Bluray release.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Mami on January 26, 2016, 07:29:58 pm
zeta hada lot of frame recycling and scene repeats; regarding that super has not even come close; the worse sin of super was having bad quality in teh first fight, that ws a horrible first impression so to speak.

Pfft no. The Beerus fight on Earth is much better in the anime, and the Freeza movie isn't that good. Also, obviously they can't possibly make a tournament in a movie, a movie only has time for like 3 good fights.

Not one where every fight counted, most of them lasted like 2 minutes tops. This tournament has at least 5 to maybe 7 fights and they're likely to last some time, we're talking about the 10 strongest guys in two universes, not some comedy filler.

The manga went with Piccolo and Majin Buu (who just got kicked out because he couldn't even write his name). The anime also hinted at Gohan resuming his training the previous week, so I'm rather curious what they're going to do with him. ... ... Filler time !

The manga is merely promotional nowadays, just to keep people interests up. I wouldnt count it as canon, nor anything that is not there as filler =P

They are still very likely to pick buu and piccolo.

Also, those fighters do have some reasons to participate. I don't think all of them are fighting to get help from Champa. I think some will have bussiness with the Super Dragonballs In the Series.

I wonder if Frost has a brother wich is Cooler's counterpart. The idea that Frost helps demons is kinda decent. The demon he holds is smiling. Maybe these have a kind heart. Also, Frosts 3th form isn't exactly looking like Frieza's 3th form in The Series. Frost can stand straight while 3th form Frieza can't do so. It's still Great to see Frieza's counterpart fighting in it's 3th form in Dragonball Super.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 01, 2016, 07:54:52 pm
he seemed to be fghting normal humans
I checked again and they're definitely not human, pointed ears, jaw full of fangs and all. They're similar to the guys he's saving, so since the narrator is talking about wars, I would sooner imagine that he's stopping wars between people of a same race and stuff. Remember that universe 6 humans wiped themselves out in a war between themselves (as in, not only there are no more humans, but also that seems to be a recurrent problem over there).
in fact, he says wars happen a lot, yet for once we're seeing Freeza's race and Saiyans act as peace keepers, so basically everything really is flipped and we're seeing the few good guys among the lot of war-bent races.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Wolf on March 04, 2016, 06:44:45 am
i finally catched up with super! got some questions:

- did something happen during the BotG retelling? because now the dragon balls can grant 3 wishes but from the cell saga until RoF movie it was just 2
- i remember they explicitly said namekians only drank water but in super piccolo is clearly eating. is this another case of "toriyama forgot about it" or is it becasue he has to eat for 3 now? :P

i like vegeta in super way more than in Z. not only is he the butt of the jokes sometimes (which vegetafags seem to hate) and he is now able to have normal conversations with other characters. vegeta was the dullest becasue his entire character revolved around "but muh pride!!!" and surpassing karottop.

i also want frost to be a genuinely nice guy

also, i don't know if anyone else has read it but i just found out this spanish webcomic (don't worry it has multiple languages) called DB multiverse. basically is a fan made story that takes place 10 years after Z (and of course ignores GT exists) it revolves around some aline race developing multiverse traveling and setting up a multiverse tournament along the namekians from various universes (the prize is 3 wishes from polunga).

in here there are unlimited universes (i haven't read much but it seems to center aorund 20 and the DB cast is form U18). so far what i saw there's a universe where goku never hit his head and killed all the humans plus vegeta, nappa radditz and karottop discovered the secret of how to become SS and killed freeza (but IIRC raditz and nappa cannot turn SS), another where freeza doesn't exist and the saiyans are a primitive race of warriors, another where cell kill of the z warrirors, another were the freeza family killed everyone else and so on.... also, it seems U20 (i think) broly is broken as fuck and is the strongest of them all

Multiverse is French (and then translated) and it's been going on for several years - though maybe not as long as dbz abridged. There was a topic here but it's long gone.

The Piccolo thing is probably just the anime being dumb.

Post by: Omega on March 04, 2016, 09:54:43 pm
Daimou was a demon but, the Piccolo we know after learned about himself being a Namekian after the arrival of The Saiyans. So this makes Daimou a Namekian too? I mean yes, he is a demon in Dragonball but, event changed with Z. What do you guys think about this?

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on March 05, 2016, 01:44:55 am
"After Dende's remodeling, Shenron is able to grant three wishes. However, since Dende is not powerful enough, Shenron can only fulfil two of the three wishes if a large number of people are revived using one of the wishes. "

Dende isnt strong enough to perform mass ressurections, so hes limited to two wishes if one of the wishes is like that, but other than that its always 3 wishes. Dende brought with him the techniques from Namek. So his shenron can perform lower level wishes, but more at a time.


Old Shenron could perform high level wishes but always just one.

Post by: Iced on March 05, 2016, 03:52:26 pm
Think of it as battery life. Dende can charge any 3 smaller wishes , reality bending wishes take the same energy as 2 smaller wishes and there are wishes that break it and hes not able to do at all.  Like in the original they couldnt wish for the dragon to destroy anyone stronger than Kami, preventing them from using the balls against Daimao

oh well, that would have been funny to have a nice guy freeza.

but what really bothered me about that last episode was they didn't let piccolo do anything!

heck, DBS is pretty much the goku and vegeta show and every other DB character is juts there for cameos. piccolo and ten shin han are my favorite characters and it's sad that they will never be relevant again. heck, even hyper DBZ gave us the same 3 fucking monkeys (2 of them twice!) before they can start working on something i'm not sick of already

there's still that saiyan guy from u6 who might do something interesting since he mentioned saiyans from u6 can't transform into SS

Post by: Byakko on March 10, 2016, 01:01:04 am
Yeah that Picolo fight was fucking ridiculous lol
everybody told him he was gonna get his ass beaten even though Frost was severely weakened, he was directly told he literally had one job (weaken Frost for Vegeta) and he laments on that then he goes and takes forever to charge a one-hit-kill, which he can't even hit because Mr. Genius Strategist here wrapped his arm around the guy who knocked down Goku with a touch of the hand.
Hey, at least Vegeta is getting the spotlight, it's not Goku or Gohan anymore (Gohan who also completely failed everything in the Buu Saga anyway)
Piccolo and Ten Shin Han were the two guys with the most tactical styles, coming up with nifty new attacks and techniques, but they always get thrashed by lol powerlevel.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on March 10, 2016, 01:09:14 am
story beats arent making sense right now.
Piccolo took forever to charge to fool frost into lowering his guard ( he fully recharges his hit in five seconds once he wraps his arm around him ) . But he went and claimed twice that he shouldnt be underestimated, survived a hit that killed him when he faced freeza some episodes back ( literally got up and regenerated a hole in his chest) and then hesitated before literally forfeiting to Frost.

If it was any other show this would be setup for a payoff, but I have no idea whats going on. or what they are aiming at. Theres obviously too many characters for vegeta to go through the tournament alone.


DB Heroes also just introduced a new namekian form. Make of that what you will.

Cell gets a God form, Freeza's race is golden, the Kaioh race (oh, that's new) gets blond hair apparently, and so the Namekians get this... weird armor thing ? Eh, I really don't think we should take that into account, it's just some shit they came up with so that every race gets the same boost. Red Cell lol.

Red eyed Namekian was a form that Toryama had made for the old DBO game in cutscenes.
In DBO the equivalent of the super sayan was the giant form for the namekians.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p84nBxAwQOs
Tsumuri goes red eyed namekian at minute 3.


It never even got a legitimate name, it was just a "super" form of elite namekians. Now playable avatars can unlock it as Namekian "God" form for heroes.
I saw this episode live on tv, and the ad for heroes new GOD avatars was set right before the episode and right after.

( thats not really cell in the ad btw, its just a playable android avatar that happens to be red, his name is genome I think)

Theres obviously too many characters for vegeta to go through the tournament alone.
i read in a synopsis for the next episode or so that they add a new rule to the tournament that if you touch the protective barrier around the arena you get disqualified. so i'm guessing if vegeta fights the u6 saiyan since he cannot transform into ss (and i hope he doesn't transform during the fight or pull another kind of transformation) that he will trick vegeta into touching the barrier (maybe even end in a draw so the final fight will be between penis ehad and mamamanko)

also, PLOTTWIST: the un-named planet is the final super dragon ball

What if Transforming isn't discovered in U6 yet. So that's why The Saiyan doesn't know about it. Maybe he is going to discover it in the tournament. The latest Beerus and Frieza Movies are all about new transformations. Maybe the Super Saiyan in U6 has a different look. Why is he also a Saiyan if he doesnt have a Oozaru form? That form is the nature of a nomal Saiyan.

The U6 Saiyans don't have tails anymore for some reason, and without a tail they simply can't transform into a Oozaru, and since things seem happend to be different in that universe there was probably never a Legendary Super Saiyan in there universe too, so they just don't know that there species has any kind of transformation ability.

I have an offtopic question till there is some news. Do you guys think there will be a Dragonball Super only Game? I mean like Dragonball Z Games are mostly starting with the Saiyan Saga and end with the Kid Buu Saga. It was covering Dragonball Z. Is it going to be a case with Dragonball Super where we don't have The Sagas from Saiyan till Kid Buu but, just the Sagas from Super?

Post by: Bastard Wolf on March 23, 2016, 05:00:40 pm
the sad part is that the fight with robot-guy has been the most interesting so far.

also, it seems mamamanko is going to be completely irrevelant. piccolo did fucking nothing (and was even told he wouldn't accomplish nothing by everyone), majin boo fell asleep before the battles even begun and will most likely do nothing and on top of that goku is back in the tournament.

this really is the goku and vegeta show and everyone else is just a bench warmer
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 23, 2016, 05:10:08 pm
Well, the bad guys are using more than just "lol I'm stronger / faster", there are tactics and tricks at play. Seeing Beerus' response about Mankoman, I'm pretty sure he's weak but has a crazy trick that would be instant win for him unless someone figures it out (but not before seeing it). Frost was to ease us up into it because we know he's much weaker, and Goku even had to use his head against Fat Teddy rather than just pound him, and it's clear no one is anywhere close to SSJG level but they all have a quite different approach. In a tournament with rules, they actually stand a chance. We'll have to wait to know how really efficient that is.

Until Vegeta just goes Final Flash on everyone - like next episode apparently, depending on how that works,  we'll know for sure.

I mean, remember when Cell could regenerate, but didn't use it as part of his tactic, and had Vegeta blast a Final Flash to show us raw planet-sized lasers wouldn't work, only to break out a solar system-buster with Gohan to get rid of him ?

The manga is so many times better. They should have just waited so that they had some material to use before making the anime.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 23, 2016, 05:29:53 pm
Pretty sure the material wouldn't have changed anything. It seems fairly clear to me that Toriyama already wrote a large part of the scenario and gave it to both the manga guy and Toei, they're just each going with their interpretation, and Toei simply has a habit to drag out everything.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Koop on March 23, 2016, 08:59:26 pm
No I mean in terms of animation quality. It's been the same for all animated dragon ball. The filler scenes always look worse than the scenes that actually happened in the manga (I'd show examples, but lazy).

Post by: Byakko on March 27, 2016, 05:14:12 pm
They're still trying hard to juggle between rules, tricks, and power levels, with metal guy resisting a Galick Cannon and a Final Flash right until Vegeta calls him a piece of junk. ... It's not a very good balance and it's pretty ridiculous. Could've been more acceptable if it wasn't so damn slow, but hey, that's Toei.

This comment of mine wich I quoted about the U6 Saiyan is becoming real. He will become a SSJ in the tournament next week. 

What if Transforming isn't discovered in U6 yet. So that's why The Saiyan doesn't know about it. Maybe he is going to discover it in the tournament. The latest Beerus and Frieza Movies are all about new transformations. Maybe the Super Saiyan in U6 has a different look. Why is he also a Saiyan if he doesnt have a Oozaru form? That form is the nature of a nomal Saiyan.

he did nothing. he simply told vados to find him strong individuals who would win the tournament

vados knows of their background but brought them along becasue champa doesn't care as long as they win. i'm sure vados acts this way to teach champa the consecuences of his i-dont-care-how-you-do-it attitude (like with the barrier: "why didn't you made the barrier stronger?!!" "cuz u said it didnt care, lol"). plus she's a dick like whis and likes to mess with champa

Towa is the sister of Dabura and Mira is a organic android she has built and keeps upgrading.

They were the end villains in Online they are currently the end villains in Heroes and they were the midbosses in Xenoverse.
Future Trunks is hunting them down.

Finally things are getting serious. And we're being introduced to time shenanigans to boot with in the main series (beside Future Trunks of course).
and Monaka... seriously ? That was one big stupid & useless move from Beerus. It was basically 3 vs 5 from the start for no reason, and that's counting Piccolo, which we might as well not do. So much for a tournament.

But hey, now we're completely out of the power creep loop and full-on bizarre powers.

it'd been a bit better if they did not hammer the point of how useless piccolo was (goku saying that, vegeta saiyng that, etc.. ) before the fight even started; it was the perfect moment to make him seem viable and even the die by poisoning thing woudl have felt fair as that also got goku.

Post by: Byakko on April 17, 2016, 08:47:31 pm
I think Xeno had the full name. The name Blue appeared in the manga, so it's probably straight from Toriyama who realized how bad it was after the F movie and when Super was confirmed as a full series + manga, he couldn't keep it like that.

For their 60th anniversary, Toei opened a Youtube channel until July 2017, and it will have some of their series like Dragon Ball, Ojamajo Doremi, Digimon Adventure for free. DBZ, having run for 30 years, includes 2 movies, Path to Power from '96 and History of Trunks from '93. The currently airing Dragon Ball Super is also moving into a Future Trunks arc starting June 12, hence the occasion. (the rest is a quick list of examples of 40 other series that the Youtube channel will have, like Arale, Hokuto no ken etc.)

I can be very wrong, but it's only I see "Super" Goku has more of how Toriyama see the main character than "Z" Goku?

I mean, the stupid and broly-level-based inoccence of that character was more showed in DBZ mangá, and DBS seems to follow that thing.

At least in the DBZ anime, Goku has somewat a "scout" and kinda matured persona.

Sounds reasonable for the fillers to last until June 12th, with fillers being animated by the shit studios, leaving some time for the good studio(s) to draw the important episodes.

Dragonball Super didn't care much about power levels. I wonder why Gotenks SSJ3 was so weak against copy Vegeta in the last Episode. This is the first time we see SSJ3 being so weak. I don't count Goku's first fight as a SSJ3 against Beerus on King Kai's planet.

Well, Vegeta and Goku trained a lot with Whis, while Goten and Trunks just flew around, so I think it's acceptable.

Sadly Gotenks didn't use the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack.  :'(

Anyway, makes sense that SSJ3 Gotenks doesn't had chance against Slime Vegeta (that's the way i call the copied Vegeta...).
Goten and Trunks need to train A LOT to get Vegeta and Goku level (which will not happen...).

But these recent episodes after the tournament are fillers??

Well, the anime fillers have been hinting at a bullshit potential romance ever since Pilaf returned rejuvenated and Trunks made Goten believe Mai was his girlfriend in the first movie, so there's something, but I really thought it was the fillers digging way deeper than it should have because fillers.

It looks like the potalas but different color I think ? Might be an inversion of what happened between Buu and the chief Kaioh Shin. But we still don't know how this Goku appeared in a timeline where he died. Hell shenanigans ? Would be a shitty explanation. Maybe the Buu of the future timeline who never got to Earth is involved ?
And then there's the bullshit about Mai being alive AND young (from Shenron ??) in that timeline.
(And with all that being said, I'm having vibes from the very early db saga with Yamcha and the first encounters with Pilaf and Mai)

I don't nkow how time travels work in dragon ball rules but normally it would be based on this timeline before this future trunks travels to the past, since we still don't have a black goku mai is still a child but later something will happen that will create black goku and this future trunks (not the one from the cell saga) will have to return to around the current point of time of S to stop goku from turning black.

that's assuming super works on more generic anime "time travel" rules.

I believe I understand what is going to happen in the story after doing significant research and re-watching Dragon Ball Super in its entirety up to this point and BotG a few more times.
So I figured it out.. basically, in the near future an episode will be released that explains who/when this Trunks came from and why he is here! We will also learn of Black Goku, and Mai is fucking hot and you all suck, I'd slap those 50 year old titties around like Rocky on a speedbag.

in the manga Bulma always had purple hair, so when trunks was introduced his hair was the same shade as hers.

In the anime, bulma had turquoise hair, a shade of blue. But trunks kept his purple hair when introduced.


In super her hair is even bluer than before, the trunks in the promo seems to have the same hair colour as her.  Kid trunks in super still has purple hair tho.

Despite the obvious resemblance, I'm not sure that IS Mai. She looked older than Bulma in the first Dragonball arc, whereas here she appears to be Trunks' age. Perhaps it's a new character?

EDIT: Originally guessed it might be Pan, but I doubt she'd be using firearms if that were the case.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: AlexSin on June 09, 2016, 06:31:08 pm
I think it's Mai.
You can see her in the Battle of Gods arc, also in the filler episode where Pan (baby) got kidnapped by the Pilaf gang (there's also Mai) and learns to fly.

She's as old as Trunks in the present time (maybe because of a wrong Shenron wish), so in the future she could look like that. It can be one of many different futures.

My guess is that the new Future Trunks isn't even the one they knew in the Android Saga.
And yes, he says he defeated Cell in his own timeline, but it can easily be one of the other many parallel futures.

Right. Goku died too early in the bad future. Mai didn't have any canon appearances since.....the Piccolo Daimou arc so they could probably handwave it and say she, Pilaf and Shu wished for youth off screen.

Goku became a bit more lean when he went SSG. So maybe this is a similar thing. (Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Blue Super Saiyan Black will be the name or some such thing)

The reason it can't be Goten is the same as the reason it can't be Goku, though. Unless someone messed around with the Other World (Hell etc.) AND brought back Goku AND corrupted him in some way.
BTW, on Super Saiyan Blue, didn't Toriyama said he thought about giving him white hair, but that it would clash with the next vilain ? Because we have a Kaioh Shin now, white hair.

When the pilaf gang got the dragonballs again in the freeza ressurection arc they were surprised there was more than one wish.
That squarely places their wish for youth  before Piccolo and Kami fused during the android saga. ( Dende was the one that upgraded the wishes) .

The whole android saga was very short and Goku died at the beginning of it due to heart disease, that means chichi could have been pregnant before the android saga begun. ( The whole thing was like a week or two, facing cell tournament at the end of the second)  Its entirely possible Goten was still born in future trunks timeline, just kept with OX king or maybe in the wild.


The one earring makes him look as if he is carrying the other ring in his pocket to force someone to fuse with him. Maybe thats why hes pursuing Trunks?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 13, 2016, 02:44:02 pm
I think fanon usually assumes Goten was conceived during the week before the Cell Games, after Goku comes out of the Time Chamber. In fact, it's probably *because* Goten never appeared in the future timeline.
But the future timeline was written before the Buu saga, so before Goten was a thing, in all possible meanings of the word. It's plausible that this is Toriyama finally clarifying that and saying "actually, Goten was conceived before the heart attack, which was shortly before the androids, not a year before" (especially since he only has it *during* the #19 fight in our timeline).
Goten being raised by Chichi and ox king would explain his hatred against Saiyans and his not fighting the androids.

As for the Pilaf gang... Did they return to baby form, then ?? Mai seems to be about the age of Trunks, so if she rejuvenated before the Kami fusion, they were as old as Trunks, so babies...
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on June 13, 2016, 02:50:51 pm
It would explain why they were gone for so long, they were growing up to being able to walk around and do shit again.

I was having a talk with someone about how if you want to fit with dragon ball is dong with standar anime time travel rules , it's complex/broken; but otherwise it's simpler to explain as not pure time travel. the time machine makes them travel to a different time point in a different *universe, so besides time travel , they also leap to a side universe, which is what allows the time travel inconsistencies, so it's more like umineko than steins;gate.

*universe as in the common version of it and not the dragon ball definition.

Oh, yeah, what exactly does Bulma's time goo do is an incomprehensible macguffin, but the timeline split and Trunks navigating between them is just straightforward. It's not like this kind of science fiction brain busting theory was a big deal in Japan at the time Toriyama wrote that, it's more like, who cares. Don't ask Doc Brown to mend it. It's fine as long as we don't ask Trunks to travel five minutes into the past to see if he lands in the main timeline five minutes earlier or in his own timeline.

Black Goku can go through time with a ring. Preview of Episode 49 explains it a bit. I believe that ring will be bringing Future Trunks back to it's time later as he was able to travel one way in the current state.

I hope the Super Dragon Shenron can grant wishes through time and restore the future world, revive Bulma and Mai. Another solution could be Shenron. They can gather the Dragonballs and travel to the future with Dende. The Dragonballs follows it's creator anywhere and is able to grant wishes. Remember Guru and all Namek teleported to air and the Dragonballs did too. So this could be possible between times too I guess.

This news also shows a new Character called Zamasu.

So, future Trunks has Blue hair "just because" and Bulma knew that before even seeing him for the first time in years? Is this another case of "Toriyama just forgot about it" or what? I mean it totally fits him (And I wish it was his color in DBZ) but it still doesn't make any sense, even though it's a small detail.

Also an entire episode seems to be dedicated to Goku fighting Trunks, which seems unnecessary. I know it sounds rather lame compared to a big fight but one would expect them all to subdue Trunks so he can actually explain to them wtf is going on and why he's back (And the fight will probably be justified with "Goku wants to fight, let him have his fun").

Everything is just so weird. Sudden change of hair color, some weird evil Goku who may or may not be Goten and may or may not be fused with a Kaioshin or whatever, Mai was young when she should've been either old or DEAD, the date Trunks picked to travel back in time (Rather than go to a time frame close to his departure, where he KNEW how things were like, he decided to go to a time frame he has NO IDEA about, something extremely dangerous).

Fun Fact: Trunks had purple hair because Bulma in the earlier stages of the manga had purple hair herself but then gotten greenish-blue hair in the anime.

This is most likely Toriyama finally just centralizing them to have the same hair color rather just make Bulma's purple since she had that type of hair color from the start of the anime.

Goku sacreficed his life during the Cell Games and Trunks left after Gohan defeated him. So Trunks might still think that Goku is dead for so many years. When he traveled for the second time, maybe his idea was to receive help from Gohan, Vegeta and all others. He could be in shock seeing Goku and thinking he is Black Goku.

As for Trunks having blue hair. Akira Toriyama always gave Trunks Blue hair as a concept for drawing. Even Kid Trunks had blue hair but, it seems they changed it for the Anime version.

that isnt really an explanation as to why his hair is blue in the anime now vs his introduction having purple hair and kid trunks hair still being purple as well as bulma magically knowing his hair is blue now but I just assumed everyone was cool with that as with the other nonsense the new series introduced so I didn't pose the question myself

I'm not a fan of the blue hair at all personally.  Super Cyan doesn't help there though.  Vegeta's black hair + Bulma's blue hair turning out Trunks' purple hair just made sense for me, seems an extremely late arbitrary reason out of Toriyama's personal preference to rewrite it as blue.  But then, it's also a series about everyone's more important when they're blond, and now we're approaching rainbow territory, so it's more a slight annoyance when they're back to normal than "TRUNKS RUINED 4EVER!" or whatever.

I am curious why he decided to change Trunks' hair, though, and not 18's in Battle of Gods now.  As he had previous ideas for her as well.

Yes, it's an explanation. It's called retcon by the anime being dumb and not making up their mind and just trying to handwave it away.

Seriously people stop fucking obsessing over this. Future Trunks has blue hair and as far as everyone in the series is concerned, he always has.
Quote

Toriyama always gave him the same hair color. The anime is the one doing both changes one way and then the other.

Oh by the way, didn't Iced just post a rumor that present Trunks is about to get his growth spurt ? It would mean that they're giving the two Trunks a different hair color simply to recognize who's who on the screen, but they're both canonically supposed to be blue. It's an easy and obvious way to differentiate two characters on screen who are supposed to be identical.

This guy has a good explanation with sources for the color change, it's not the first time it happened that Toriyama screwed up the hair colors, because he is lazy and don't want to check what hairstyles he used before.

Ehm...If I'm not wrong, the anime is the true one. Anime version base from what Toriyama actual idea is while manga, Toriyama give Toyotaro a freedom to mix with his twist a bit. Toyotaro state this from the recent interview with him and Toriyama. Toyotaro did this so that people will still read the manga, coz right now the anime is leading up, so he know that people might forgetting about the manga since Super story was "manga base on anime", unlike the previous story where "anime base on manga". Toyotaro also change Hit personality to some kind of arrogant character in manga, he even smile in a sinister way, contrast with Hit in anime who was a cool and calm person.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 25, 2016, 12:14:43 pm
I've never heard anything like the anime being truer to the script. They both get a script from Toriyama - and Toyotaro even chats with Toriyama about it. Meanwhile the anime has a gigantic record of making up bullshit to fill up time.
What I'm saying is, sure Toyotaro comes up with details on his own (the whole JoJo timestop battle is definitely his own), but it's really obvious by seeing the manga that the Kaiohken mix was not in Toriyama's script. It's not like Toyotaro would have *removed* something as important as that if it was in the script.

I notice that they showed Goten and specifically held him back from going to see Future Trunks. Future Trunks doesn't know that Goten exists...
And lol the anime got the forms wrong, Goku's not SSJ2 there, only SSJ1. So Trunks isn't SSJ2 either despite what Goku says ? He doesn't even change. The preview for next week does show Goku as SSJ2, so I don't see how they'd mess this up (though it's clearly from the team that knows how to draw this time).

If Goku died of a heart attack mere days before the androids attacked and everyone died, who knows, maybe Chichi named him Goku instead of Goten to give herself a tiny bit of hope ? And then Goten/Goku Black somehow left and met this new Kaioh Shin and went on to destroy planets through the universe and so on before coming back after the androids were gone and Dabura and Babidi were killed.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Chronan on June 28, 2016, 04:32:33 am
Dabura and his sister Towa (from Xenoverse and DB:Online). Towa uses dark some power to posses people and later power herself up, and has her own creation/fighter/sex slave named Mira.

http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Breakers (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Breakers). The Time Breaker logo, infinity, is pretty much exactly what is on Black's ring. I'd be really happy with Towa making it into the show as a villain personally so I hope this is a precursor to the Time Breakers.

It'd make sense since they reintroduced Trunks and put a bunch of emphasis on both powering up the Time Machine again and a lot of god talk about the crimes of time travel and why it is bad. Instead of just saving the Universe they'll be saving time which is the same plot from DB:O and Xenoverse.

Unless, again, something happened in future Hell.
At any rate, now we're going deep in the rankings of those in charge of the universe, more Kaiohs and Kaiohshins are getting involved.

Yeah, they ARE talking about humans. Which makes everything even more weird because then that means they're only in charge of watching over the humans for whatever reason.

What about the rest of the universe and its planets? I don't recall DBZ ever having a kaioshin for each planet or race. I thought they were supposed to take care of a universe's section on their own (With 4 Kaiohshins taking care of 1/4 of the universe each, and even taking care of other "Worlds" too).

All this focus in taking care of the humans is weird.

Humans in dragonball had its own specific name in the past.
Ningen in this context is people or humanoid.
Hence why Black was destroying planets before arriving to earth. Ningen here is just mortals, he even calls Goku a Ningen after being told he's a sayan.

That possibilitiy excist but, we don't know how small or big this chance is. If that is the case, it might be explained with flashbacks. At the other hand it is Goku.

Wow, interesting infodump in the first phase of this episode. Time rings, parallel timeline time rings, earring color, maybe why Black has only one earring...
Also "ningen" clearly is definitely not just the people of Earth. Or even actual human-like aliens (like Saiyans). As long as it's generally humanoid and smart enough to maybe create a society and a civilization. Just... people. That said, given Zamasu's reaction to the muscle bird people, I wonder how he'd react to legit Saiyans and Freeza's race. It's still a boring and overdone theme though, and it baffles me that you can still write a story with a world where complete god newbies aren't immediately told about this shit.

So I've fallen significantly behind, the last episode I saw was Goku dying his hair blue for Frieza, but I've been told about this latest episode featuring Vegeta and Trunks having a little fight.



And I'm starting to get a little suspicious about where they're getting their ideas from (http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-568.html#h_read).  Not the first coincidence, what with the whole multiverse thing, but still a little funny that they're using things fans already did quite a while ago.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on August 08, 2016, 02:01:16 am
Yeah I've read that part long ago but it's not the same thing, at all.

If anything, the Multiverse's tactic is actually more original and interesting (Although still fails anyway) than the one in Super. In Multiverse he enhances certain parts of his body to avoid losing overall speed while still keeping the extra strength, he's still powered up though.

In super he's just using that form as a bait and then switches back to the standard SSJ. Also multiverses is not an original concept at all to begin with since we already had alternative timelines thanks to Trunks anyway. Not the first nor the last time that theme is going to be used in fanfics.

I'm sure DKDC commented about it a while ago, that's not even the latest chapter.
The manga just moved on to the Goku Black arc, the chapter had some small differences from the anime but nothing as big as Goku not doing that Kaioh Ken + SSB combination (Apparently he used Kaiohken + SSJ before against Paikuhan? I don't even remember that episode)
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 17, 2016, 01:04:12 am
Yeah http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.2261193 It's not so much a retcon as it's another anime filler since there's no indication that the anime is "truer" to Toriyama's script than Toyotaro, and they basically get that script at the same time. Toriyama's script probably just went like "they fight and Goku keeps powering up through his existing forms then he breaks through the time stop".
The Super Kaiohken was in the otherworld tournament during the Goku/Paikuhan final. The anime reusing it was definitely a call back to their own shit, and an opportunity for more filler.

Rosé is not a color but rose is, it's French for pink. The rosé wine is called like that because of the color. It's a good meeting point for the new naming conventions of both colors for SSJ and alcohol for Champa, Beerus etc.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on August 23, 2016, 10:41:39 am
The SSJGod form we call SSJ Blue isn't actually blue. It is just SSJ God with the power of a SSJ. I can't call it a natural transformation. The color seems more to be a side effect when both are mixed. I know that power levels don't matter in Dragonball Super but, aren't actual transformations and color changes still accurate or should we scrap that too?

As for Super Saiyan Rose, that color might be an effect as Black mixes it with the powers (purple aura) of the Supreme Kai's.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on August 28, 2016, 12:49:06 am
The manga however jumps out most of the SOL stuff and even most of the conclusions. Its like it goes "AND ETC" at the end of whatever it presents.


"so beerus shows up and wants to fight a god, ETC ETC, and now goku is being trained , etc and now goku is blue, etc, gold freeza, etc black goku!"
Ive been finding the anime much more enjoyable as far as SOL goes , but it would be nicer if they used the same logic behind the scenes in the manga, several of them end up adding a lot more context.
For instance, Trunks ssj2 is almost as strong as Goku ssj3 in the manga. In the anime Goku blows him away, in the manga goku gets frustated and goes into God form to blow Trunks away.

Post by: Byakko on August 28, 2016, 01:14:32 am
Well it did that for the movies, it's understandable that Toyotaro didn't want to waste time with those :P He did the whole tournament straight, as well as the meetings with Champa. Although he again didn't show much of the Super Dragon... Yeah, he tends to gloss over the stuff where he can't show off either fighting or comedy. But on the other hand, the anime goes to the opposite extreme, and Toyotaro does manage to slip the more important information in the dialog in the middle of his fights. Or random SOL comedy in the middle of important story development (out of nowhere, Karin playing Twister - for just a couple of panels, sure, but I don't like it when it drags for several chapters, especially since this is monthly)
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Niitris on August 28, 2016, 02:17:02 am
Accelerated pace works nicely for the manga given the monthly chapters, I was wondering why everything seemed like it was in fast forward at first (just started btw). It being more informative despite that, I can't help but to think a bit less of the anime now. Handles comedy rather fine, but it could do a bit more with the major scenarios.

When he starts jumping stuff like the dragon it becomes useless to follow, you would never get whatever happened and what was wished for and how the whole altercation ended from reading the manga alone. Its almost a complimentary material that gives you some extras. A director cut of sorts.

Okay, now the whole time travel is definitely broken. Why does this Zamasu remember his promise to Goku ? If this is the Zamasu that Goku met in the main timeline, why the fuck is he here in this future timeline ? Did he use the duplicate time ring that was created when Trunks caused the split ? But why the fuck would he do that to go to a timeline where Goku is dead. Is it because there's no more Kaiohshin or Hakaishin there to stop him ? Like, this is the only universe and the only timeline where he knew he wouldn't get his ass handed to him the minute he would start destroying human worlds ? What a tiny little bitch.

Also, I totally agree about Vegeta. I mean, it makes sense considering his style (he goes all out from the start, so his opponent has to either die immediately or surpass him immediately, while Goku takes his time to see who will be the last to surpass the other), but it's just as annoying as it was ever since Cell.

Goten wants revenge for not having enough screentime.

I'm gonna guess Present Zamasu went to the future and learned that Future him (and Gowasu) somehow died there, probably to the hands of a human. Then finds out that Uni7 no longer had a Kaioshin (for the same reason) and somehow took the position for himself. Was able to revive Chest-pain Goku and anoint him as God of Destruction. And are now reshaping Uni7 to fit his image, which includes eradicating the humans. And altering his future.

What I'm interested in finding out is if other Kaioshin also died in the future. And if Universe 6 plays a role in this. If it's parallel universe lost it's overlords, surely it wouldn't go unnoticed right?

Problem is it's always the same. And it wasn't so much caught off guard as he wasn't having any success anyway, Black got hit but he didn't give a shit. It's no better than vs Cell, and Vegeta is still the only one who doesn't know he's about to get whooped.

Well, DBZ never made much sense with time travelling anyway, with the Cell/Cyborgs stuff, creating alternate timelines, etc.
There was only the one thing about the timeline split until then, all the timelines were still a straight line, with just Trunks jumping from one to the other. Now we're having a Zamasu from a different timeline remember something that happened in the main timeline, and the grandfather paradox of Goku meeting Zamasu, causing him to go mad at humans, causing the creation of Black, causing Trunks to go back in time, causing Goku to want to meet Zamasu in the first place, implying that none of this would have happened if Goku hadn't met Zamasu - there's no starting point in this loop. This didn't happen before - even when Cell came back after killing Trunks, Trunks still ended in his own timeline killing his own Cell, there's a clear starting point and end point.

This is all extremely basic concepts in time travelling shows BTW.

it could "just" be zamasu from the amin timeline traveling to trunks timeline for whatever reason and the nrmal level of brokeness would be kept; maybe the zamasu form this timeline is th eone who is using goku's body, since the dialgos hinted a lto as blacku being someone else in goku's body and thus mastering it.

Well, DBZ never made much sense with time travelling anyway, with the Cell/Cyborgs stuff, creating alternate timelines, etc.
There was only the one thing about the timeline split until then, all the timelines were still a straight line, with just Trunks jumping from one to the other. Now we're having a Zamasu from a different timeline remember something that happened in the main timeline, and the grandfather paradox of Goku meeting Zamasu, causing him to go mad at humans, causing the creation of Black, causing Trunks to go back in time, causing Goku to want to meet Zamasu in the first place, implying that none of this would have happened if Goku hadn't met Zamasu - there's no starting point in this loop.

These are excellent proofs as to why the writing is so deficient, and why I plan on never watching this, not even out of nostalgia. Toriyama just doesn't care.

The whole thing will most likely end up with Super Saiyan God Goku fusing with Super Saiyan God Vegeta to become Super Saiyan God Gogeta/Vegito :ssj: with them winning but obviously wouldn't last long. Then Goku does a Spirit Bomb but this time on a omniversal scale.  :juggle2: :juggle2: :juggle2: :juggle2:

You're being over dramatic and cynical. The show isn't the best but it's not terrible. If you're a fan of dragonball then it's worth watching. Toriyama hasn't been a good writer since Cell saga so none of this is surprising. You just gotta take it week by week.

I loved Saint Seiya when I was a kid and I bought the SS game Namco Bandai released last year and had a blast with it. It was pretty much me partially reviving my childhood due to NB hiring the LatAm voice actors for the game.

Even with all of that in mind I tried to watch Soul of Gold this year and dropped it pretty much after episode 5. I couldn't bear with how boring the series truly was. [E] was spot on with SS, it's just about people aiming their fists at each other with pretty lights coming out, there isn't that much in terms of people outplaying each other with smart tactics because as "unique" as each one's skill set was, everything still pretty much boils down to who can take the most attacks or a third party coming out of nowhere to save the day.

Dragon Ball has the same issue due to all the characters having pretty much the same skill setup. They all fly, they all shoot ki blasts and have a technique that's their equivalent to the Kame-Hame-Ha. They tried to make things interesting with the last tournament but it was pretty underwhelming overall, which Hit being the one who changed things the most due to pretty much being a JoJo character, a series where people actually have specific weaknesses and limits for their own skills and outplaying the enemy with smart tactics and deception is the norm.

I still enjoy DBS (Although I skipped both movie arcs) and I actually like the clusterfuck they're doing with time travelling because they're at least getting out of the comfort zone but I totally understand when people drop the series after having watched DBZ so long ago. It's basically the same thing I did with SS.

The main draw of Super is the huge widening of the world. We got a definite difference between regular ki and god ki, people able to reach it, a god of destruction tied to the kaiohshins, multiple universes, a king of all universes, multiple timelines that suddenly become very relevant (thereby making Future Trunks, an old fan favorite, relevant) - that's several levels of world building stacked up all at once. edit - oh, and even more importantly, they all actually matter. They're the core of the story, they're not an excuse for Cell to set up a tournament, the tournament is the setup to the things that matter.
The one bad thing here is that there's so much new stuff that we're told we'll see soon, and it takes so long to get there. Hell, the multiple universe thing got interrupted by the king of all universes, the king got interrupted by an alternate timeline, the alternate timeline got interrupted by the god of another universe, and we have no idea where we're at right now. With so much material and leads, we can be pretty sure that this will go on for a long time - even only to resolve everything that has been hinted at so far, and even everything else that will have come out of that. It's like having hints at Saiyans, Cell, Kaiohshin, and the fusion, all the way back during Roshi training little Goku and Krillin.

... And supposedly, power level ladder is supposed to take a step back, in favor of different natures of powers (god ki, time stop...), but that's not working all that great so far.

tl;dr watch it or don't right now, but be sure to give it a look in a couple years or five.

This.

The show always had a ton of subtext towards mythology that was never fully explained or explored.

Toryama has never been a great story teller, he's a gag manga artist and most of his resolutions and advances show a lot of that.
This brings good things and bad things, the good is that where he goes is always something somewhat unexpected. Who wouldve guessed that a multiverse tournament with the gods was in store during the Boo saga?
The bad is that he doesnt obey narrative rules. So he will have Piccolo give a bunch of clues that he's not to be underestimated and create a buildup where something for sure would happen wiht other writers, and then do nothing with it. Shit I was expecting Piccolo to defeat Frost and then be defeated massively by Hit.

The buildup and story cues he gives off are not really being used, at this point

Except the trigger for all of these events is Goku paying Zamasu a visit BECAUSE of Black Goku. Which means there's no starting point for the loop.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 11, 2016, 11:18:17 pm
It doesn't seem so, because they made it even more complicated by having Zamasu create a Goku clone. Wherever the very first Black came from, it had to be from a place where Zamasu met Goku AND lost to him. So if there's another timeline, it would be one where Goku came across Zamasu on his own - and wanted to fight Zamasu. Even if it's from, say, a timeline where the multiverse tournament went on and Zamasu witnessed Goku's fight, Zamasu would have had to fight Goku - and it's unlikely he participated in the tournament. There's no non-convoluted way for Zamasu to lose against Goku in such a timeline. It's possible that Zamasu would have gone just as crazy by witnessing the tournament, but future Zamasu seems to specificallybe mad at *losing* to Goku.
We still don't know why the hell he'd end up in Trunks' timeline, beside using the ring that was created from it, but there isn't even any reason for him to do that. Unless, as I said before, he searched for a timeline and universe with no Kaiohshin and no hakaishin, but that would make him an insanely lame loser. Too bad it's the most likely solution so far, seeing the importance the manga gave to that fact.

I gave up on the timeline shenanigans since they just got worse so instead I am thinking how zaamsu's immortality works since his mortality is supossedly linked to the god of destruction, like, can't goku adn friends just kill zamasu's universe god of destruction so zamasu dies, or the god of destruction has now become immortal as well .. and that's assuming zamasu becomes a kaishin after killing gowasu, which might as well not... whivh would amke the revelation of the life link pointless if it's not used for anything... but this is toriyama so that might as well happen... and now that I think bout it, did not buu kill kaioshin, effectively killing beerus before ?

Hakaishins are related ot the ruling Kaioshins. Which are a group of four cardinals and one Dai.

Buu absorbed Dai(caped, fat) and south(I think? it was the big muscly one) forming the fat buu and muscle buu personalities.

The current Kaioshin was the youngest of that group and was promoted to Dai. Kibito seems to be a random kai promoted to assistant.

Kais are born from fruits and seem to just lazy around their origin planet until one gets promoted to godhood( which might not even happen).
Zamasu is a new Kaioshin in training with Gowasu being one of the official kaioshins of his planet ( possibly the dai of the planet)

Hakaishins seem to die once all the ruling kaioshins of their planet are wiped out.
Future Zamasu probably promoted himself to kaioshin ( he is wearing the earrings) and picked Black as his Destruction God.

The only thing we know is that Black IS NOT a wish to the dragonballs, because its the mistery of the arc and it wouldnt be gussed by a character 3 episodes before the big reveal episode called "who is Black"


More interestingly, Whis did not wake Beerus during the Buu mass destruction on the buu saga, when the Dai Kaioshin was in risk of dying. We know this was because he wasnt invented yet, but it makes it almost seem as if Whis doesnt care about his cat.

One should be for the current Future Trunks Timeline.

The second one should be for the Timeline where Cell never showed up in the Past, and Trunks successful defeated the Androids and returned back to his future where Cell ambushed him.

Third one for Cells alternate Future where Trunks is killed by him.

whut, i those are the same.

Main Timeline where the show happens, trunks from timeline B and cell from timeline B face here, trunks kills embryo cell from this timeline.

Timeline A Theres the timeline where trunks comes back, goes back home and cell murders him

Timeline B theres the timline where trunks comes back, faces the cell from timeline A, goes home and kills the cell of his timeline.

Timeline C: GT, somehow goku gets turned into a kid and everyone is useless, girls cant be super sayan

They can't be the same Timeline since his Future is not affected by the changes, because of quantum universe stuff.

So the First Trunks that was killed by Cell, created a Timeline that was never realy shown in the series, where Cell never traveld back in Time and the Androids 17 and 18 where destroyd, and 16 was probably never been activated, that means that Gohan never became a SSJ2 in that Timeline since the Cell ark never happend there, and that at some point the Cell of that timeline will wake up in a non apocalyptic world with no Androids to absorb, Android 16 still not activated, and with no Timemaschine to Travel back in Time.

Also the Buu Ark would be completly different in this Timeline since Mr. Satan would never become the "Great Hero of Earth" since there where no Cell Games.

Original timeline A :
Goku dies > android destroy stuff > Trunks goes back in the past then comes back > kills the androids > Cell awakens, kills Trunks > goes back to our timeline, but further than Trunks
we saw this timeline from Cell's flashback. It's the one where he didn't find the androids because Trunks had already killed them, and Cell decided he had to go back to the past to become perfect.

First changed timeline B :
future Trunks arrives from A > Goku gets a heart attack > the androids destroy stuff, but they get killed, Cell doesn't appear > Trunks A leaves > nothing else happens, probably not even the Buu arc since there was no SSJ2 that we know of > Cell awakens, but there's nothing to do for him, he probably dies like a bitch (because everyone is still alive in a perfectly healthy world)
We know this timeline exists because Trunks from A destroyed the androids in his past and returned to the future to destroy his own androids, but never learn about Cell until he woke up and ambushed him to steal his time machine. This has to be the first timeline Trunks changed before Cell stole his time machine, meaning Cell was not awake and Perfect after Goku had his heart attack. It actually seems like the best possible outcome for everyone. This was the first timeline changed by Trunks A but before Cell came back further into the past.

Second changed timeline C - this is the main one :
Cell arrives from A > Trunks arrives from A > Goku gets a heart attack > androids destroy stuff, get absorbed by Cell > Cell games etc. > Trunks knows about Cell and returns to his timeline.

Trunks timeline D - the "Future Trunks" timeline that we know the most :
Goku dies > androids destroy stuff > Trunks goes back in the past then comes back > kills the androids > Cell awakens, Trunks kills him because he knew about him thanks to his visit to C.

we can see a bit of a weird zone where Trunks from D learned in C about what Cell did in A because of something that hadn't happened yet in his timeline (further along in A). When he comes back in D, he prevents the very same event that should have made him aware of Cell's existence in the past. This is kind of a reversed, twisted grandfather paradox, but since we're talking about timelines that keep going on on their own line without being influenced by stuff happening in others unless someone directly comes there, then it all works out. It also works because Cell started later on A and went back further in time than Trunks, creating that timeline that we never saw.

This whole theory breaks a leg in Super because Trunks specifically says he goes back the same number of years so he can be sure he'll get back to the same timeline. Cell changed that by going further back than Trunks A did, so the damaged time machine that Bulma kept in store all this time should be "out of sync" with Future Trunks' timeline, making the whole gang unable to go back to D to meet Black (they should land in A instead, and more years in the future than when Trunks met Black), buuuuuuut...

Also that means there should be the main ring (C) and 3 copies (A, B, D).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on September 18, 2016, 02:47:52 am
Maybe Bulma synced the time machine with the help of Trunks since all you really had to do was fix the amount of time you move in time. I doubt the machine itself matters.

...We're probably giving this more thought than Toriyama himself I bet.

Post by: Byakko on September 23, 2016, 07:12:35 pm
... Well damn, the manga just confirmed that Zamasu is the absolute shittiest loser of the entire DBZ universe. He really did specifically pick this timeline because the God of Destruction was gone and he would be able to go nuts without being punished by daddy. ... Except then he went and killed the other kais to remove everyone else anyway. But then it kinda tries to justify it by making sure Zamasu is told "there's nothing above the god of destruction, everyone else is fair game, in fact you're probably the strongest", so it kind of works out okay ?
ALSO the manga is handling the grandfather paradox a LOT better, completely removing it !! Now we're talking. Of course that just makes the anime so fucking dumb but what else is new. Seriously, the manga pretty much resolves everything. It even makes Gowasu less of a blind loose retard.

This Episode was Excellent. When Goku fell off Whis's shield he was breathing for a little moment. Saiyans can't breath in space. When Whis picked Goku up with his staff, I expected Goku to hold his own throat. It would just show he can't breath but, is safe thanks to Whis.

yah, caught up with the manga, it's good and makes for a good suplementary material reading, as it skips way too much stuff to be really enjoyable by itself, it gave me back memories of those dragon ball Z summary books that were there during the 90s, wher they would go over most of the plot real fast, show a few screencaps of the coolest scenes, and maybe explain the most complex stuff so it makes more sense.

It would be funny if Goku Black is now serving Zamasu like Zamasu served Gowasu. Preparing his tea and whatnot. They are together somewhere in the woods so that could be possible. Zamasu was kinda upset about Goku beating him and this made him wish for Goku Black as a servant. Not just for fighting but, also for doing Zamasu's old work.

Was the time chamber ever fully explained? Like, isn't there just a door between the inside and outside of the chamber? What happens if you don't completely get into the chamber? Does half of your body age at an extremely slow rate? And what about someone opening the door to see what's going on inside? Will he see the people inside the time chamber in super slow motion? Will the people inside the chamber see the people outside of it at super fast motion?

from my understanding of things, I think what happened was zamasu revived goku (in his timeline, goku wasn't as strong as goku in our timeline) and switched bodies, pretty much like he explained. After switching bodies of course he kills goku, but than afterwards zamasu (once he obtained the body of goku) goes back in time, to stop his past self from going through with the wish to revive goku, so that he can instead make a wish, for an undying body..!

What do you think?

Will the people inside the chamber see the people outside of it at super fast motion?

OK so I get it I guess
Original:Zamasu wished for an Fake Goku and immortality and ends up destroying our Trunks world.
Alternate Current Timeline:The Trunks came back,warned and asked for a help from Goku and Vegeta,and Beerus destroyed Zamasu preventing from wish happening.
Alternate Current Timeline 2:Black knew that Beerus was going to destroy zamasu.So he somehow came to the timeline,warned Zamasu,so he wished for his body to be replaced with Goku's and killed Goku and escaped,basically he split the timeline once again.
But the thing is.If Zamasu(Timeline 2) switched bodies with Goku because of Black's warning.How there is a Zamasu in the future? Does immortality wish protected him from getting altered? and How the fuck Black existed in the first place?  I mean even if Zamasu(Original)wished for someone with power of Son Goku,where the hell Black came.Was he always Zamasu? did his identity changed? or Super Dragonball's created him from nothingness?

Still hoping for some Vegeta relevance as well, but this Broly-fied Trunks will do for now. As long as Goku doesn't get all the glory again. I don't think the time fuckery isn't quite as bad as it could have been. Kind of makes sense that the time machine to the past would create a new time-verse each time given what happened with Z.

Was hoping Towa/Mira would somehow become a canon thing with all the time travel though. I guess having Goku and company rolling into the past to help himself fight Freeza and Cell all over again(but purple this time) would be a bit samey and boring.

the complains are not about creating a new universe, but about having cause and effect fucked up it's like having the original androids 17 and 18 be so strong because the red ribbon army analyzed trunks fight with freeza. I was expecting the anime to just disregard how goku caused zaasu to hate him so we coudl theorize they met in a future tournament, but the aniem just had to go and say the thing taht fucks up cause and effect.

Also Zamasu guilt tripping Trunk is so stupid. Had he never went back in time all the humans would have died to the androids and shit anyway, so either way he was fucked. Trunks should be smart enough to not to get pissed off by something so stupid but I guess they needed a way to trigger him without having to kill Mai for that :mlol:

The ring is supposed to be a self sustaining paradox enabler
There's still no point in time where he should have been able to get it. If we're talking about the Zamasu that lost to Goku, that one is from the main timeline and he gets killed by Beerus. The Zamasu that killed Gowasu and got the ring, which timeline did he come from ? Toei is trying to say it's the same that lost to Goku, but that is the main timeline and he gets killed by Beerus. There's no timeline where Goku fights Zamasu but Zamasu doesn't get killed by Beerus afterward, the anime is saying that's where Black comes from, further along in the future, but it doesn't exist.
And we're missing the original timeline from before Trunks came back and was followed by Black. In that timeline, Goku doesn't fight Zamasu, since he doesn't meet Black. This should have been the one where Zamasu carries out his plan on his own and gets the ring, and still learns about Goku through our own Kaiohshin - exactly like the manga did it.

I want to know what happened in Black's timeline.  He killed Goku and his family, but isn't Gohan still alive (he wasn't shown getting killed)?  Also, what about the other Z-fighters?  Or, did Black just leave his timeline after killing Goten and ChiChi?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on October 10, 2016, 01:01:22 pm
Timelines aren't that much of a mess. There are currently two timelines and different worlds/universes.

Current timeline is now. Trunks's timeline is the future wich got altered. So it became a multiverse type world.
The current timeline has its own future and past worlds. The timelines that are seperated into different worlds/universes has itheir own futures and pasts aswell. I believe Black and Zamasu are able to travel between all of them with the time ring. So a real connection can't be made as there are multiple worlds.

Goku's body got stolen by Zamasu. This didn't affect the current Goku. Beerus destroyed Zamasu and it didn't affect Trunks's timeline a bit. It could be atleast altered in some small ways. Zamasu being destroyed by Beerus should atleast have a slight impact in that timeline.

Those worlds are not connected so whatever they do in the current, past or future worlds won't affect each other. Only someone who travels back to the past can effect that timeline but, someone from the past can't alter the future I believe. Because the past doesn't belong to the future as it has yet to happen.

When Trunsk traveled back in time to warn Goku about the Androids, Cell was already there. They both traveled to the same past with different goals, and that timeline got dramaticly altered.

Post by: Byakko on October 10, 2016, 02:10:40 pm

Again, the problem is the timeline where Zamasu got the ring. He fought Goku and lost, but the only timeline where Goku visited universe 10 is quickly followed by Zamasu's death by Beerus. There shouldn't be any other timeline in which Zamasu loses to Goku and then manages to get the time ring, because Beerus invariably kills him between these two events. There's no alternate timeline that branches off or into this.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on October 10, 2016, 04:32:56 pm
Something is Fishy.

Black recognized whis and vegeta, but present zamasu would never have met vegeta in the timeline going on.
His ring also pulled out of the present because he "didnt belong there", but if his story is cohese, the ring is from that timeline, so it doesnt make sense for it to tell black that he doesnt belong to that timeline.

I think he might be from a divergent timeline and isnt aware of it himself

Black recognized whis and vegeta, but present zamasu would never have met vegeta in the timeline going on.
He could have seen him around the time he killed Goten and Chichi, I suppose (and just left before fighting him because he didn't care about him). But good point on the ring pulling Black out of the main timeline. Unless it's only because he followed the hole caused by Trunks' time machine, and when that hole closed, it pulled Black back, not the ring, because he didn't use a time machine ? And the Toei writers are just bad at making things make sense and saying it correctly. This applies in all cases, anyway.

Nah. This looks like something new.
Vegeta's was just a rage boost. And while this also appears to be a rage boost, notice the blue aura mixed with the normal SSJ aura.
Maybe that training with Vegeta gave Trunks access to God Ki? Like how Vegeta was able to get SSJB? Who knows.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on October 10, 2016, 11:41:12 pm
That's not an explanation, that's literally saying "it happened because we've seen it". It's a self-sustaining paradox and they're just banking on the ring to justify it without having to explain it, they just say "there is a Zamasu that got the time ring because we've seen him become Black", ignoring that it can't actually happen that way. What they call the "fixed timeline" isn't predetermined as Zamasu getting the ring, it only leads to Zamasu getting killed by Beerus. There's no justification to claim that a "fixed timeline" can have been automatically created by Zamasu getting beaten by Goku, and what we're seeing is just Beerus creating an exit on that loop. They just say "you have to think 4-dimensionally" but "automatically creating a fixed timeline" with arbitrary content is just not a thing that exists even in this kind of talk.

They're also confusing what Toriyama says with what Toei filled in. The explanation is much simpler : the anime has bad writers and Toyotaro very easily fixed that paradox in the manga. There is a timeline where Zamasu simply learned about Goku on his own, killed Gowasu, got the ring, created Black, and followed Trunks back in time, causing Goku to seek Zamasu, leading to Beerus killing Zamasu. That is how a loop is fixed.

If they really want the early Dragonball spirit back, they could have included Tien. Because in Dragonball, they all fight and help each other. Goku learning the Mafuba is Excellent but, Master Roshi could tell Goku that Tien knows the move aswell. Goku and Vegeta could fight against Black Goku and Zamasu while Tien could perform the Mafuba with a possible flashback. I mean Tien is training too. He could atleast use The Mafuba and share the credit for saving the world with them.

Welp contrary to popular belief Pan is OLDER than Bra by like a year. Apparently it was an accident they made back in the day regarding the years they were born. Pan born in age 779 and Bra in age 780. Thing is Super is currently in the year she should be been born so unless she pops out after this arc it'll be safe to assume she's good and rectoned.

I expect her to be conceived right as Vegeta and Bulma return from saving Trunks' timeline and seeing him off with his girlfriend. Pan must maybe 6 months old or something. It fits. And there's no way they're retconning the original manga.

future trunks deserves some extra credit for mastering the long forgotten and deadly to use technique mafuba by simply watching a 30 second video of piccolo on his mom's phone that offered no explanation whatsoever of how said move worked or the logic behind it.

and he did all of this in like 5 minutes after recovering from a fatal injury and while being under pressure of learing it quickly while his mother was distracting an immortal murderous sociopath. and he was able to do it right the 1st time without even practicing (and didn't died after doing it)

on the other hand goku had to go and ask his old master and do a little training montage before he could get it right. and if this had been any other character or taken place during in a diffent arc it would have needed it's own 5 episodes subplot

A much stronger Goku and Vegeta (compared to then) being at a level far beyond that of the half-sayajin Goten and Trunks, and history of inconsistency, makes the possibility sound more plausible. Wouldn't be the first time rules were broken to accommodate the story.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on November 06, 2016, 01:41:28 pm
Metamoru fusion has always been thirty minutes with less time if the fusion person uses more power ( ssj3 gotenks is supposed to break apart pretty fast)

Even Buu with gotenks and piccolo eventually broke apart into his base components and defaulted to having Piccolo as the strongest creature it had absorbed
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 06, 2016, 01:56:30 pm
They never said that a person being more powerful would make the fusion shorter. If it was the case, then no one could predict that the Gotenks fusion would last 30 minutes. No one could predict anything if there were such differences as soon as you change the race or the power level of the fusees, yet it's always been said "30 minutes" since it was introduced.
Also failed fat Gogeta also lasted 30 minutes, just like the other Gotenks failures and successful fusions, until Gotenks turned SSJ3. Everyone always said it would last 30 minutes, actually, there's been no alternative this. It's been very consistent, SSJ3 being the exception, not the rule, and not because it's more powerful but because it specifically drains power as opposed to the other SSJ forms that regenerate power (making Goku unable to maintain it after he was resurrected).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Koop on November 06, 2016, 02:02:22 pm
What Byakko said. It's not the fusion that gets shorter. Gotenks can only hold SSJ3 for 5 minutes. He was still fused even after he powered down.

I have a technical questions about Fusions, was it ever explained in the Anime, Manga or Bonus Material how Fused characters can just Fuse there techniques too, and are able to put never seen ones out of out of nowhere? That was something that always wondering about.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 07, 2016, 05:31:12 pm
It's a person that has memory and knowledge of both the guys that fuse together. What do you not understand in that person being able to merge two different skills into one ? As for inventing new techniques not related to existing ones, it's no different from Piccolo inventing Makankousappou etc.
But realistically speaking, it's all about the hand gestures and that's just rule of cool because there's never been any real indication that there's such a relevant difference between Galick Gun, Kamehameha, Final Flash, or Big Bang Attack, it's just "concentrate a ball of energy here then fire, either as one ball or as a continuous stream". The shape of the attack is rule of cool.

It could be just realy easy to combine such attacks into a Fused one if the user knows them both, but only Fused chars are the ones who do it, but that still don't explains how they can create some attacks out of now where without having to realy invent the techniques like Piccolo did with the Makankōsappō, they are just there when they need them.

If you realy invent a technique than you need some time to do so, and some time to even master it to a point where it is usefull, but Gotenks for example could create sentient exlpoding ghosts without any way of knowing how to do something like that except "Fusion Magic" or something like that.

Post by: Bastard Mami on November 07, 2016, 07:15:05 pm
its just liek any other fighting manga/whatever, they can invetn thcnique on the fly,  what requires time is fine tunning the technique.

I mean, it's not like fused characters are any kind of  exception on how technique learning/creating works in dragon ball, goku learns the kamehameha after seeing it once, trunk onyl watches a crappy cellphone recording with no explanation of the mafooba and is able to do it perfectly.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 07, 2016, 07:24:58 pm
New personality, new ideas, and enough power and control means training isn't necessarily needed. Did you wonder how Vegetto managed to create one bullet of light on each fingertip and fire them in a scattering way ? Or how Gotenks pulled all these new techniques called "swing your fist then hit hard" or "fire plenty of blasts from both hands" ? Or how Goku fired a Kamehameha with his feet without training in that tournament, or changed the direction of the beam to turn around the target without knowing that it was possible ? No ? So why do you need more explanation than that for the ghosts ?
Sentient exploding ghosts are, again, simply rule of cool to show how crazy and unconventional Gotenks is.

Trunks' spirit Bankai would of been better if the entire episode revolved around that rather than shoehorning Vegito in for like literally 5 minutes.

This series has given me way to much work to do on Trunkz 2.0 and Trunks 1.0(sword ver) all these new supers and specials based off pal options might as well be two characters in one. I'm not complaining though, I've been enjoying it a lot. It's great mindless entertainment. Can't wait til I'm physically able to remain on a computer for more than an hour at a time so I can start coding/spriting again..

This last episode had one of my favorite unreleased tracks from DBKai 2014 in it, I think fans call it "Impatience" or something basically from when Majin Vegeta and Buu are being bad, bad boys was good to hear it again.

So Goku's Spirit Bomb in Buu saga is nearly capable of killing Buu?,while Trunks just kills Zamasu with a little amount of energy he just gathered from Earth? Holy shit

...And Goku and Vegeta's energy. You know, the two people that are infinitely stronger than in the Buu saga, even when they're all wrecked. The two Kaioshins probably helped too.

Also Zamasu was weakened from the fight with Vegetto, making things easier for Trunks.

The finish kinda did suck. Fused Zamasu looked like a chump. Vegito was finished before he even started, making him look like a chump. Spirit bomb sword was anti-climatic and borderline out the ass. The buildup was so great and then the ending just fell flat.

Whatev, it got the silly superhuman fighting scenes right. Could've had this ending with Episode 5's animation.

he was a thing in GT but that gogeta did jack shit to the point where his ultimate move was this

Vegetto is cooler than Gogeta, Gogeta doesn't even have a personality, he's literally a McGuffin. Stardust Breaker is lame.
(by the way, Vegetto did show he had a way to kill Buu, he didn't want to because everyone he absorbed was inside him)
Do Goku and Vegeta even know how to do the Fusion Dance? In canon of course.
Vegeta was nowhere around when Goku taught it to the kids, but after the last Buu fight and during the time skip, nothing's to say he never learned, at least by watching the kids. So no, in canon, he doesn't.

What is the big deal? Gogetta is not canon. End of story.

About the potara earrings. The word Supreme Kai or just Kai sounded more like a status name and not a race name at some points. Zamasu switched bodies with Goku so he is basicly a Saiyan with the mind of a Kai. So he had to defuse too. Actually seeing how he is now, he is not what he is supposed to be. Even Elder kai fused with a witch who isn't a Kai. What if Goku was granted to be a Kai. Would the fusion last? I mean look at the potara earring colors. The one they use are yellow. Gowasu has green potara earrings. Maybe there are earrings wich allows everyone from every race to stay fused permanently. The one hour limit isn't bad. This means we can see Vegito more.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: -Greed- on November 15, 2016, 11:20:20 pm
It may not just have been immortal + non-immortal that caused Zamasu to fall apart, but but non-kaioshin + kaioshin.  That might have been screwing things up as well for Zamasu.  Who knows, I just want Spirit Bomb Sword in Xenoverse 2 now *shot*
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 15, 2016, 11:35:53 pm
I already forgot the exact dialog but I'm pretty sure Gowasu or universe 7 Kaiohshin explain that his immortality got wrecked by fusing a human (Saiyan) mortal body into Zamasu's post-wish immortal body.

It's maybe not bad, but it was unnecessary, they already established that the Fusion could be broken with the help of porunga realy early in Super.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: ShinZankuro on November 16, 2016, 09:25:16 pm
The fusion is permanent only for Kaiohs and Kaioshins.

That's why Porunga could split Kibito and Shin again.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 16, 2016, 09:36:18 pm
Why would their fusion be less permanent than the one between Zamasu and Black
Also there's been nothing pointing to a THIRD level of fusion - one that lasts one hour, one that doesn't stop but can be broken by Polunga, and one that doesn't stop and can't be broken by a wish. The only thing we've seen would sooner point to the presence of one "shin" ("Shin" / our Kaiohshin or Zamasu) being enough for the fusion to be permanent, even if they're not both Kaiohshins.
(and why does our Shin not have a name of his own, it was already weird when there was the young one, the old one, and even the North/South/East/West in flashback)

No, that's not how it works. Dragon Ball wishes can split ANYONE fused with the potaras so Kaioshin being fused with Kibito is irrelevant to whether the Dragon Balls can split people or not.

The one hour limit isn't bad. This means we can see Vegito more.

Actually it means the opposite. There's practically no reason to ever bring him back again now that the fusion lasts for such a short amount of time due to SSB. In fact, the stronger Goku and Vegeta get, the more useless the fusion will become.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 16, 2016, 10:06:18 pm
My first thought about it was that it's definitely a reason to see him more, given that the main reason for Vegeta to refuse was precisely that it was permanent, it's the whole reason he crushed the original one. He jumped at the chance of not risking it again. The barrier of "being fused with Kakarotto ultimate shame" can obviously be cleared any time a new super demonic / divine threat appears and they have no other hope of being strong enough. If it's one hour, or even 10 minutes, it'll still be a big help.

Well, we actually see his face, so...

The logo is supposed to have been drawn there by Whis on that particular kimono. Goku is known to have a bajillion copies of his main outfit, but if that particular one gets damaged, he has to get a new one - which shouldn't have Whis' logo on it. So I don't really see how it would last long enough, unless Goku just decides to make all his kimonos have it. Not that he can't, considering he has changed the logo on his original outfit several times, but this one seems a little specific - for all we know, it was only a doodle to Whis, so it might be weird of Goku to adopt it like that as his current symbol.
I'm not putting too much money on this being anything more than stock portrait and they haven't even decided yet.

With Hit's big technique having been revealed in the tournament, at least this time we're sure it won't be just power levels and it'll go JoJo with weird unique techniques, but now what are they going to give him to make up for Goku having already beaten his time slip ?
.... It's going to be more power levels, isn't it.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 21, 2016, 11:38:53 am
I think it's trying to imply that Beerus killing Zamasu was the cause of the loop, but it doesn't make much sense. It only means that if Beerus destroys a god, it's basically useless because it only creates a split timeline where the god wasn't destroyed. It's apparently their way of fixing their own fuck up by claiming the Zamasu that wasn't killed by Beerus went on to become Black, but it's still a grandfather paradox.

Post by: Byakko on November 24, 2016, 10:24:08 am
Manga chapter 18 is out in English, and there are a couple interesting details.

Everyone still figures out Zamasu is a loser for trying to use a world without a God of Destruction because it increased his chances, but at least now it's not because Zamasu lost to Goku and he's a shitty ass sore loser.
Gowasu mentions it's been a long time since someone called him by his name, meaning he's normally called Kaiohshin. So universe 7 Kaiohshin is the same case and he does have an actual name, we just haven't heard it. It was weird that he was the only one being called by his title, but if Gowasu hints that's normally his case too, it works out.
Skipping a whole trip to the future apparently (they have senzus), cool.
Goku doesn't kiss Chichi in the manga either. I hope that's just a joke and not a foreshadowing of anything stupid.
All the jokes. "Why did he pick you over me ?!" "Maybe he didn't want the nipples." "No wonder Saiyans went extinct !" "He's really grown up !"

On side note, for those who are playing Dokkan Battle, can we have a thread of it?

Looks more like foreshadowing to me, I don't see how he could have come back. Maybe he simply trained seriously, knowing he was already capable of going up to the android saga. Too bad they skipped the rest of DB, with Tien and Piccolo, if he's going to make such a jump in power - it's like saying only the Saiyan and Namek sagas matter.

Wasn't he only able to achieve that level of strength after he died and had to withstand Kaio's gravity and training? I don't see how he could achieve that level of strength training solely on Earth.

Yeah, I know I'm questioning a silly dream sequence.

And he probably trained extra hard and since he knew about the Dragon Ball Z story and what would happen, he could have asked Kami to allow him to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, something the Original Yamcha never did, and most chars in Dragon Ball not know about at that point of the story, and would "skip" a lot of Training in a "Short" time that way, that would explain how he could get so strong in such a short time.

Why much older`? You just get max 2 years older since the time difference is one year in the chamber is one day in the normal world, and you can't be longer in that Chamber than 2 years chamber time/48h normal world Time, until it was improved in Super.

And there are afaik no other rules, so you don't get super old if you are a Human.

if he went to the hperbolic chamber since the first torunament and only exited it for the saiyan saga that's several days and he is not immortal like roshi so he'd be hundreds of years now; unless the chaber can only be done once in a life time.

At this point of the timeline you can only stay max 2 Years in there in Chambertime, that means 2 Days in normaltime, after that you can't use it again if I get the Rules right.

Mhh not sure about that point, the wiki says it has at the starting point it has 10 Times Earth's gravity like King Kai's planet, and that the conditions get harsher the deeper you go into it.

But not sure if the info is right since it is a Wiki, I would have to watch the original Series again or read the manga or some offical material to be sure about that point, since I forgot some details since the last time I have seen it. ^^

well, since it's brought up again, for dragon ball to be a long runing, weekly series, what they do is give it to a few different studios, I think it goes to at least 3, since their quality is different they are called the A,B , C studios so more important episodes are given to the A ones, while the filler is given to C studios, so the animation quality varies mostly depending on how important the episode is.

which also applies to one side of the criticism of episode 5(?), the first fight of goku vs bills that looked like shit. since it was the first fight, it shoudl ahve been given to the A studio but instead it was given to the c one,

Just watched the latest episode, it's really good, it's finally taking that huge step outside of the power level ladder to make smart fights (I mean.... beside the part where he beat Hit by charging up his power and firing a beam, you know). That's a big evolution for Goku too, the blast thing at the beginning and this convoluted scheme he set up.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Mami on December 27, 2016, 01:22:39 am
I made a post about how the way they set up who hired hit was so clever, as in, it was believable but had a dumb plothole that makes you think it's just toriyama being dumb again, but then the last revelation fills that plot hole pretty well; the direction kind of underutilized that, tho. dunno, once we got out of the movie recap  episodes this show has been pretty nice better than the average of Z.

he's not canon we all know by now it's bardock the legend was talking about and probably he's super saiyan god legend too.  he's cool looking but story ignores what a saiyan is.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on December 30, 2016, 01:39:31 pm
There's no reason to consider that the Bardock movie is more canon than the Broly movie. Also Vegeta said early on that the last "legendary Super Saiyan" appeared 1000 years ago, and it's unlikely that the entire Saiyan race popped up within a thousand years after Bardock landed on that planet, so there's likely to have been more than just Bardock.
As for Bardock being the previous SSGod, they said that he appeared by being given power from a few other Saiyans, and clearly Bardock is alone in the past.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on December 30, 2016, 02:51:43 pm
The Saiyans besides Goku and Vegeta we have seen (not including Gohan, Goten and Trunks) are side stories. Except Bardock and King Vegeta are background stories to give us a deeper look into their race. If Broly is uncanon, We can say the same about Turles and Vegeta's brother Tarble. Just side stories with no real connections.

If Broly is uncanon, We can say the same about Turles
Turles has never been relevant canon.

Honestly i think the rule is: if it came from a movie that isn't BoG or Resurrection:F, chances are it aint canon.

The first super saiyan ever / legendary super saiyan will be mirai trunks who traveled to 1000 years in the past, hopefully creating a paradox.

It occurs to me that over the years, Toriyama seems to have picked up a growing affection for tracksuits that might be replacing his angular god outfits.

The shirt and vest with pearls outfit (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/1/11/Android18SemiPerfectCellSaga.png/revision/latest?cb=20100521154911) was always my favorite design for 18, but this isn't bad.  Kinda uninspired after Gohan doing it first, but hey.  Can't say I'm a fan of 17's change of outfit, but see if it grows on me, I ended up liking that purple look 18 had going in Battle of Gods after a while.

New god's funny looking, nothing special about his assistant at all though.  Some greater variety between them would be nice, even if they have to keep their signature uniforms.

Goku didn't risk his family's life during Dragonall Z. He even didnt want his friends to wish him back after Cell's defeat. It was to have peace on earth as all villains are chasing him. His determination is somehow for the earth, his friends and family. Goku was also a wise character but, also funny wich made him Great. He trained and battled with some purposes. Dragonball and Dragonball Z has a humanish Goku with human feelings. Dragonball Super made Goku overconfident and somehow silly. He was human in Z and he is a Saiyan in Super who just wants to fight and get stronger. Super makes him only care about getting stronger. Just like Saiyans are. Z was around Everyone and Super isn't. Goku's friends became fillers and aren't developing together in the story as much as in Z.

Episode 75: It was a Great Episode centered around Krillin. If they want to make Krillin stronger, he should have entered the Time Chamber. That is the only way to give him a good power boost. But there is a chance he might get that secret skill from Master Roshi wich boosts the energy after the errand for the herb is done. Gohan's fight with Goku was also enjoyable. I really want to know what will make these 2 enter the Tournament Arc. Gohan and Krillin both have a family and We keep hearing they gave up on fighting. I wonder what make's them fight in the Tournament Arc. It looks like they will change their minds at the same time and fight again.

Tournament Arc Trailer: It was entertaining. I like it alot. Yes, We see a female Saiyan wich resembles the transformed Broly but, it's atleast good to see a female Saiyan wich transforms into a Super Saiyan. Her face and eyes in base form looks also like Base Broly and Caba. Also, some Gods are interesting. Especially the ones referenced as The Joker and Harley Queen. I want to see how these Gods and Angels are compared to Beerus and Whis.

All humanoid, sentient races are called "humans" so yeah. Since you probably mean from Earth, let's first make sure if there is an Earth in the other universes. There was one in 6 because of the mirror universes thing, but the others should be just completely different, so I don't expect them to have an Earth. Not that it makes a lot of difference, it'll just be an excuse to show many different civilizations, I reckon.

But I think it could be possible that anyone who is Strong enough can become the God of destruction of a different Universe, because of the fact that Beerus and Champa are brothers but gods of different universes, because it would be a little odd if gods are created in a different way and only Beerus and Champa are different in some way.

Just watched the latest episode, it's really good, it's finally taking that huge step outside of the power level ladder to make smart fights (I mean.... beside the part where he beat Hit by charging up his power and firing a beam, you know). That's a big evolution for Goku too, the blast thing at the beginning and this convoluted scheme he set up.
to me the whole episode felt stupid and it's what made me finally drop super for good. i couold have believed the part where goku would go all "i've figured out how your technique works" bullshit everytime hit used it if he had actually done somehting interesting to beat it rather than just scream and increase his ki like he does every damn time! also, the plot for the episode was stupid and that reveal at the end pretty much felt like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkj0F3gEkFU&feature=youtu.be&t=5m49s) (best version i could find)

i had more than enough dragon ball in my youth but i always come back for more expecting somethign new and exciting only to get more of the same but done worse. enjoy your tournament arc... now with even MORE fucking saiyans!

The universe survival arc has Tien, Roshi, Krillin, #17 and #18 make a comeback, and the other universes only show genderflipped Broly and Cabba, the rest seems to be mostly animal-looking races. Well, it's 10 fighters for 12 universes so I don't expect a lot of them to pass the qualification rounds or however the tournament will be set up, but at least we should see them in action through a couple of fillers, and the non-Saiyans of universe 7 imply that we'll get more variety in techniques (since Tien, Krillin and Piccolo are known for making up the weirdest techniques).

Great to see Krillin with his fighting spirit back. At the end of the Episode it would be much better and meaningful if he said "Goku! Turn into a Super Saiyan this time" instead the "Goku! No Super Saiyan transformation" line again. That would show us how much stronger he got before The Tournament.

So is the new arc starting this coming week then? I'll be happy to have 17,18,Piccolo, and some non-saiyans doing something! I guess Dragon Ball is still the best for that atm. Krillin and Tien need to become Super Humans Gods or something and be more relevant.

Wasn't a huge fan of the Krillin ?fillers?, they made him out to be a pussy personality-wise, understandably so since he's outclassed by every bad guy, but I never got that vibe from Krillin character in DBKai who knew he was outclassed but still did what he could or tried to help. I was annoyed when they did that to him in the Golden Freeza arc as well.  Seems like it'd be more of a Yamcha character trait.

Loved the Saiyaman episodes though they were good fun. I'm actually working a Cocoa Amaguri SSj5 Character for Mugen as we speak!

Except Krillin has a reason to suddenly gain a complex after all these years.

Technically he retired at the Buu saga, he stopped training specifically because he knew he wouldn't get any stronger than he would now. This is on top of the fact that the enemies just keep getting stronger and stronger on top of his fears of his enemies(He got scared in Resurrection of F because of Frieza...who killed him. Despite being WAY stronger than him, Tambourine is still the first person who killed him and very easily at that as he was still a kid at the time and Super Buu not only killed him but his whole family) is actually very reasonable.

Alot of things can change within the years and Krillin's complex could have easily grown throughout DBZ despite how much he leaps into the fray regardless.

Goku is almost TFS level of stupid now.
It looks like Toriyama just went full steam with that idea he brought up some time ago in Dragon Ball Minus : Saiyans don't normally feel things like love and familial bonds. Being a warrior race, they don't stick around in a single civilization, there's less than a thousand of them on the planet at the same time because otherwise they'd slaughter each other. Bardock and Gine were an exception, actually being in love with each other. Toriyama also mentioned that Goku's feelings for Chichi and Gohan were more like "very close friends" than how we view a family. He gets mad when they're hurt, just like when Krillin is killed, but not as a real family.
And so, Super has been dropping hints about that all over the place (never kissed Chichi, didn't care about Gohan's movie debut and fell asleep in the middle, etc.) I certainly wouldn't call that stupid, and I'm curious to see if Toriyama will actually carry through with this or if he'll just leave it as simple hints sprayed here and there. Meeting U6 "nice guys" Saiyans just might put the highlight on this through Vegeta.
In that regard, Vegeta going "don't hurt my Bulma" crazy on Beerus, and then encouraging Future Trunks to protect his woman, is far more human-like than Goku who is the most Saiyan-like. That one is being made pretty obvious, and that's really big character development. It's just a massive shift from the standard "hero Goku, stupid ego Vegeta" we had in Z. Hell, we might circle back to Vegeta's old disdain for the low-born Goku because Goku is standard loveless battle-crazed Saiyan while Vegeta is the more complex one.
Also combat-wise Goku is getting really damn smart.

As for Gohan, it seems like they're simply giving him an arc of balancing his work, family, and combat - they hinted that he started training again. Krillin just had the exact same arc in two episodes so it's more obvious for him, Gohan has just been taking the really long way around that.

Anyone else has memes and references on their language?

Super been fine so far tome, it has done a ton of world building, which was one of the major gripes I had with the series before. Its also focusing a lot of energy with jokes and gags, which again, is right up my alley.

It still ha the main flaw it always had, the plots are not complex enough and it ends up giving away things too easily.

All the people complaining about power levels would make for boring writers!!! Bringing in Roshi into these battles was a great move.

The Forest Of Terror was kinda good. A good place for more training in the future. Imagine Yamcha going there. All he would encounter is Saibaman. Also, talking about power levels isn't really necessary so I agree. Krillin, Tien and Roshi are good answers for that as they will be fighting in The Tournament.

Powerlevels have been bullshit for ages. You had to stop paying attention to those during the buu saga or you'd go nuts.

Still don't like the characterisations. I look back at goku's selflessness over the course of DBZ and it's just not here. Honestly, for the first time i'd prefer Vegeta was in the limelight. Over the course of DBZ i considered him a complete idiot and the reason for half the problems they had. In this, he's actually interesting, but they've kinda turned him into DBZ piccolo.

I am on the zamasu arc right now. Start of this is boring as fuck. Hoping it picks up a bit, the tournament was pretty interesting.

Even with scouters they were bullshit. Like Vegeta and then later GInyu said, relying on the readings that a scouter gives only throws you off (but even GInyu loses his shit when he sees a 180k reading).

Well, if that's the case, concealing power only really mattered once anyone being read realized that they needed to conceal it in the first place. That would mean that scouters were useless as of the Z-fighters meeting Nappa and Vegeta. In fact, I think Vegeta mentioned it shortly after they met the others face to face.  Though now that I think about it, the scouters did bring up something interesting when Jeice read Ginyu-Goku's power level. Being that it capped out after whatever it was, brought up that there may have been different types of power generation, potentially similar to how "god" ki can't be easily read by someone other than a god without proper training.

Uh no, that was just very explicitly saying that Ginyu even in Goku's body was unable to bring out Goku's power the same way as him. That has nothing to do with how no one (except gods) can feel the god ki, different forms of energy or such.

Goku used Kaiohken in the fight against the Ginyu Force, Ginyu saw that power and wanted to take it, but when he switched, he didn't know how to actually use Kaiohken. I think Vegeta made fun of him for not thinking of how hard Goku had trained for that multiplier, talking about taking over the body but not the heart, or something along those lines. I remember it wasn't phrased too well, but in context just after Kaiohken, it was pretty obvious.

no, the scooters detect the current power level, not the latent, potentail or whatever thing you want to imply. transformations, multipliers and even pulling out a fucking gun are enough to modify the power level reading.

I have no idea how you could possibly come up with the idea that a multiplier can't be read by the scouters. The first fight that has Kaiohken against Nappa and Vegeta shows them see his power explode when he uses it.

Just checked to make sure, the farmer had his shotgun before Raditz came out, his power level was 5 from start to finish. I really don't think weapons and cloths affect the power level. But Kaiohken definitely does, I'm pretty sure that the Ginyu fight shows Jeice pissing himself watching Goku go red (and then Ginyu in Goku's body doesn't grow as strong because he's not using Kaiohken).
As for Beerus, he actually gave a percentage of the power he used to hold off SSJGod Goku. Checked that too, Whis says Beerus used nearly 70% of his power. And going Blue still wasn't enough - which is a little odd since SSJ multiplier is like 50, right ? So SSGod to SSBlue should normally have the same multiplier... Unless it doesn't, or unless that 70% number was retconned since the movie (dunno if the anime repeated it). Makes you wonder why they even invented the Blue form in the first place.
Also SSBlue + Kaiohken is anime filler garbage, don't even take it into account in any calculation.

The Super Anime is as much canon as the Super Manga right now since Toriyama is more involved in the anime afaik, and gives both teams a guideline how the story has to evolve etc.

So you can't just say something is just "filler garbage" as long Toriyama don't says that one of the both is "less" canon.

Sooo if Toriyama said at some point that one is canon and the other one is not, then please show me, because right now we just have the rare case that we can't be sure unless the Author says it.

No he's not. Someone here posted that rumor before but that just came from nowhere, I haven't seen any hint to that anywhere. So I'm calling bullshit on that rumor. Toyotaro said he gets the same script as Toei at the same time, and they both fill out the blanks in their own way. That is what they said.
Toei simply reused something they already made up for filler back in the days to make it make sense, and even though Toyotaro does make some changes from what the anime does (since he comes after) and makes some adaptations, it's just ridiculous to suggest he would have skipped SSBlue Kaiohken if that was something coming straight from Toriyama, giving how massively important it would be. So it's definitely not from Toriyama's script, and we know what little credit we can give the anime. You can bet your ass Toriyama's script simply said "Goku cycles through his forms and increases his power until he can break through Hits trap". SSBlue Kaiohken is anime filler garbage just like it was back in Z.

The seventy percent number was revealed by whis to be a lie, when he compares their power output( a tree vs a palace), Beerus was apparently just lying to get Goku invested into the fight.
Ah, right, I forgot that.

lol they did press on the bit with Goku being oblivious to family bond with that "who cares ? You're not the one giving birth !" while Vegeta does actually care.
And that heavily somber foreshadowing of a clash between Beerus and Goku... Between this and the family thing, that's a big promise for character development and exposition to come. Goku might actually start being seen as a legit threat. But then again, the God of Destruction is one to talk... It's in the job description - and it's actually becoming believable that Goku might become just as fearsome as Beerus was the first time he showed up, as the next god of destruction.

I've been reading online about an apparent change of directors for Dragonball Super that was put into place starting with episode 77, and if that episode is any indication the Super Anime might start getting a lot better.
I mean, I doubt the animation is going to be that much more consistent if at all, since it's Toei, but a guy can dream.

Everyone now has to fight for their universes all because Goku wants fights. Is Goku the real villain of this series? Him and Vegeta pretty much switched roles. Vegeta mellowed out into a family man while Goku gets more and more fight obsessed. Even Beerus of all people is saying he's going too far.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on February 05, 2017, 03:03:48 pm
lol they did press on the bit with Goku being oblivious to family bond with that "who cares ? You're not the one giving birth !" while Vegeta does actually care.
And that heavily somber foreshadowing of a clash between Beerus and Goku... Between this and the family thing, that's a big promise for character development and exposition to come. Goku might actually start being seen as a legit threat. But then again, the God of Destruction is one to talk... It's in the job description - and it's actually becoming believable that Goku might become just as fearsome as Beerus was the first time he showed up, as the next god of destruction.

The whole thing with him fucking off to go convince the gods to host the tournament and becoming responsible for a tournament set off where people are going to die is very akin the monkey king thing, Goku fucked up and seems like he needs to learn a lesson.

Wonder if theyll bury him under a mountain

Nobodies talking about how a mere hand gun actually scratched Goku. I understand that he hasn't been training quite as much lately but thats taking things pretty far isn't? I thought it was silly in the previous episode for Krillin to get a cut from a bullet but even Goku's vulnerable when caught off guard now? This before he decides he wants to fight in a big tournament with powerful people all over the multiverse and somehow win.

That's not new. Remember he got nearly killed by the basic Freeza army peashooter because he was shot by surprise. He also feels pain from getting slapped by Chichi or Bulma or whoever. We've talked about this before. If they're not paying attention, their skin is the same as anyone else's.

In DBZ before the Cell games when Goku was relaxing in his SSJ form, Krillin threw a rock at him and Goku felt pain, just another example to add to the list.

Zamasu as Goku Black was good but, Zamasu as himself, Kai was weak. I didn't like his attitude. I mean, he was kinda evil and all but, his voice wasn't fitting. He was evil with a peacefull voice. I also believe that Zamasu isn't dead as there is a problem with one of the Omni Kings. I agree with a video theory. When the two Omni's cross over each other in the opening, they turn green for a second. That could be Zamasu's color. Remember when the two Omni's raise their hands when Goku asks about the tournament, the future Omni King tries to match his hand with the current Omni King. What if that is Zamasu inside The Omni King?

These are the same fools who got the name Krishna (hindu deity) removed from X Men Apocalyse, when Apocalypse calls himself several names. Being a Christian who was earlier a hindu, living here in India I see these religious outbursts all the time and its always political propaganda. The common hindus have no objection to it and enjoy Dragon Ball as much as the next guy. I hope like Fox, Toei doesn't give in to such outrageous outcries.

Btw. isn't Ganesha supposed to have six Arms? Sometimes a anthropomorphic pink Elephant is just a anthropomorphic pink Elephant, even if Ganesha is a inspiration for the character, it is still just a inspiration and is probably not supposed to be the Dragon Ball version of Ganesha.

It's pretty obvious it's not meant to be specifically Ganesha. There are cat people, dog people, a giant ball of soot, and, why not, elephant people.

Hmmm... Egyptian cat Beerus and Champa, Japanese three-tailed fox, Indian elephant man... With a closer look, it's actually getting hard to say the Gods of Destruction aren't inspired from real world myths.
Speaking of which, Beerus and Champa are brothers because the universes are mirrors of each other in pairs, so why don't the other universes have twins too ? Did they get replaced more often than Beerus and Champa ?
lol the Supreme Kai from U9 looks like a greedy asshole with that smirk. And so do the U9 fighters.

Welllll, technically, that's what the Dragon Balls have always been there for - reviving dead people, making death meaningless. On the other hand if Shenron has limitations from Kami, maybe the Super DB are limited to universes 6 & 7.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on February 13, 2017, 03:15:13 am
I think that erasing the universes idea comes from the future omni king. Also the prese the present Omni King sounds and looks more happy and positive. The future Omni King sounds carefull as if he is trying to know more. I think Zamasu is inside his body as I said before. This tournament seems like a big chance to make his zero mortal plan to work. It would be even possible about him trying to kill the present omni king. If he taps into omni kings powers, he could even destroy super shenron. So this means Goku has to come up with something good.

I think youre overthinking things a lot, zeno doesn't display any kind of evil or careful behavior whatsoever, he quite literally is a child with all the power in the world, same thing with the future one. that's the problem with a lot of the db fanbase on youtube, people tend to overthink and not realize that db in general is pretty straightforward about its stuff

Majin Buu isn't very fair for a tournament... He can't be knocked-out (at least no one was able to do so, execpt Beerus), so he'll just keep regenarating and fighting until he eventually wins. That's why I knew he would win that battle against Basil since the start. But I would like to see one of those guys from Universe 9 win a fight for a change...

Indeed. The problem is, it takes the power of a Genki Dama to desintegrate him, or at least something just as powerful. And in regular tournaments, killing is against the rules. We just don't know for sure if killing will be allowed in this tournament.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on February 20, 2017, 09:38:20 pm
Zen'oh wants fights to keep going until he's entertained, and he's going to erase the losing universes anyway, so... Universe 9 also just commented that they'll be fine if killing is allowed, too.
Between Tien, Krillin, Roshi, Piccolo, and Buu, and Goku learning the Mafuuba for Black (but failing to use it), I'm pretty sure we're being prepared to see weird skills, and between trick techniques, time skip, sealing techniques, there's no telling which one will be able to bypass Buu's infinite regeneration in one way or another. For one, I completely expect Goku to use the Mafuuba in the tournament. And the last time the Kaiohshins defeated Buu, it was with a sealing technique.

zamasu arc was terrible to begin with (atleast in the anime). there are so many issues and questionable decisions made, super forms pulled out of the ass out of nowhere (granted they did look cool but there was literally no build up at all) not to mention the ending was so bad and such a cop-out.

zamasu himself was a really boring villain with another god-complex. mind you his design is cool and the fight scenes are amazing but besides that the arc was so shallow imo

from what I've seen from the manga, it's much much better. the pacing is faster, the introduction is amazing and shit actually makes sense with proper explanations and build up. I hope the ending is way better too.

the universal tournament is starting to look pretty good, since it's not trying to focus on telling a dark and edgy story about morality and whatever, it's literally "goku wants to fight a lot of powerful dudes so theres a giant tournament but wait if they lose they all die"
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Koop on February 20, 2017, 11:09:45 pm
I disagree with that third statement. The manga has made the gap between the heroes and their opponents far too large. Hit is no match for Goku at all and Black gets completely pummelled by Vegeta when they first fight. Having weak enemies completely removes any tension.



EDIT
Well I guess it explains things a lot better but it still feels like the heroes are over levelled

Black was only regular SSJ in that fight, of course he got fucked. He grew to Rosé at the end, and Vegeta went down. That's the point, at first he couldn't control Goku's power, but he grew into it and he reached the same level as Blue on his own, and now he's gone beyond.

I'm divided about the Zamasu Arc, it had a good premise, imo, but it was executed poorly. It would be better if Zamasu was defeated with the Mafuuba by trunks (Bulma could go back to the past and get the seal from Roshi) after Vegetto defused. This way, they could save that timeline from destruction and cut out Trunks's new ass-pull transformation.

“I take the movies as “stories in a different dimension from the main story of the comic”. I’m entirely just an audience member for them,” Toriyama said.

so there you have it. movies aren't canon.

There was an old interview where Toryama said that Cooler was going to be in the manga canon but he commited the mistake of letting them do the movie based around him before the debut and now his Lawyer didnt allow him to use him in the manga anymore. So cooler was apparenly created with the idea of him being canon.

Just minor trivia, useless all the same but it does explain why the cooler movie seems to fit mostly before the android saga.

but the spirit bomb isn't lethal to non-pure evil so it won't be effective against any other besides kid buu or an entity like janenba or zamasu. probably why freeza survived that shit.

Post by: Byakko on March 05, 2017, 04:41:19 am
The rules for the upcoming tournament are harsh, weaker fighters will be a heavy liability on the final count if they get taken out even near the end. And the "Goku is the enemy of all universes" deal is getting a bit too on the nose by the time of next week's teaser... As is the whole "this is going to be all strategy and teamplay from now on, guys !" story but that's a good thing so it's okay.

you know, I kinda like how toriyama is sticking with his guns and making goku what he was intending to write him as back in z's run, a person who fights for his own benefit (for those who don't know toriyama actually didn't like it when various other media that he wasn't too involved with portrayed goku as some sort of fighter for justice similar to superman or any conventional hero, atleast from what I've read) but I am starting to question just how goku and co. are kinda non-chalant about bergamo's speech about goku being the villain essentially in this arc

If killing is against the rules, why is Krillin using the destructo disc in the opening? Isn't that a killer move? I think he can use it for aiming at something else like objects or he can cut off tails or hands without killing the opponent. Maybe he is trying to cut beams or blasts.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: 1Ultima on March 10, 2017, 06:52:01 pm

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Bastard Mami on March 20, 2017, 06:49:47 pm
lots of small if unimportant things to say now:

the strongest fighter of universe 11 is obviosuly the guy fighitng with goku in the intro, since same uniform and stuff, i eman it's rpetty obvious but osmeone had to said it and get it out of the way before someone else makes the "amazing discovery" and we derail the topic by saying how obvious it was.

kinda bothered that the anime forgot that monaca exist, though that might get adressed next episode, who knows, at least the manga was somethign like "why did not zamasu steal nomaca's body instead of goku's?, ah must be ebcause he disliked his nipples"

universe 7 has it's work cut short for choosing the strongest people in the universe, since 1 generation ago freeza did all thew ork for them, with freezer being the strongest being in the universe as he scouted/killed the rest of it so the next strongest people were either dead or working under him; then the artificial humans using freezer info became stronger than freezer, so anybody whom survived the fights against them (and the artifical humans themselves) are indeed, the strongest fighters in the universe.

continuing that, goku fighting even stronger people in the underworld is anime only shit and the buu arc which did not exactly increase the stakes that much (since gohan was the only one stronger than cell, but also he became weaker for the buu arc because he quit training), well the buu arc depended on god level people whom are not allowed to participate inthe tournament anyway.

TL;DR, universe 7 team can easily choose the strongest 10 people in the universe because of everythign that has lead up to it, while, the other universe might have  harder job of choosing; tho, it's funyn how roshi and tenshinhan are indeed in the top10.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on March 20, 2017, 07:01:27 pm
That explains why the top 10 are all from Earth and they don't have to look anywhere else, although the Earth cannot be the only planet that was lucky enough to avoid Frieza during all that time so maybe there's someone else strong enough for the tournament but you can only search so much with just 40 hours (And Beerus would've known about such kind of person existing anyway I guess?)

Toyotaro used to do a manga called Dragon ball AF , that whole scene was a copy of what he did on his fanmanga when Vegeta faces XYCOR the supersayan by transforming between ssj3, ssj2 2nd grade and Ssj4 repeatedly within seconds.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 20, 2017, 08:01:15 pm
With the whole "Trunks' and Vegeta's SSJ2 form is just as strong as Goku's SSJ3" and "SSJ3 is impractical anyway because it drains power way too fast instead of regenerating it" things, the SSJ3 form for Vegeta is a non-issue, just like the Super Trunks form, he might as well have figured it out but disregarded it (and became stronger as SSJ2 anyway).  For SSG, the SSB form is definitely based on the ability to use God ki, and as far as we've seen in BoG, the one way to enable that is by doing the ceremony thing, as explained by Shenron himself. Plus in the movie (and probably the anime too), Vegeta straight up says "alright, we'll do you, but next time, it's my turn". So considering that the next time we see it, he's Blue with God ki, there's no reason to think maybe he didn't go through it. He did, and he doesn't use it for the same reason Goku doesn't use it anymore - they actually ARE using it, they're just turning Super Saiyan while in it, which gives SSB. Because that's exactly what we're told SSB is - "going Super Saiyan while in Super Saiyan God". There's no reason to look for a reason to say Vegeta never learned SSG - of course he did. It's not like he found a way to use God ki that Shenron himself didn't know.

Just remembered,
Toyotaro used to do a manga called Dragon ball AF , that whole scene was a copy of what he did on his fanmanga when Vegeta faces XYCOR the supersayan by transforming between ssj3, ssj2 2nd grade and Ssj4 repeatedly within seconds.
Dragon Ball Multiverse did the same "trick" with their version of Future Trunks using his Super Trunks form.

They don't visit many planets on GT, maybe 5 or 6 they just stay on them for 2-4 episodes each time, because several Dragon Balls are already in the possession of some antagonists.

We have to see what the Super Dragon Ball wish at the end of the tournament will be, maybe instead of just restoring the Universes maybe they wish to also merge them, this way the quantity of the universes will still be reduced, and the overall level of the new merged universe would be increased I guess.

Uh, someone from Beerus & Champa's race is in Toppo's group, apparently. That's nice if they can flesh out the universe(s) with coherent group of races (we already have Saiyans in 2 universes) rather than just tossing random designs like it was back in Freeza's army. I just hope that we won't get one episode per recruit, as much as I'm interested in seeing #17, Tien and Roshi to mix up the styles, it would waste way too much time.

Nowhere in the episode was stated that Krilin was significantly stronger than before, the purpose of this episode was to explain than in a battle royale, tactics and cooperation are more important than raw strenght or power levels, something that Krillin seems more adept and experienced than Gohan and Goku

That is true there man. Krillin's Kamehameha struggle with Goku SSB means nothing. If Krillin can hold it against Goku like that, Gohan SSJ2 would easily vaporize Perfect Cell and Goku's support wouldn't be needed there.

So not that retcons are new to this series, but I'm a little confused and could use some clarification.  Unless I'm just mistaking fan theories over the years for canon, it was my understanding that the cyborgs of Gero's android program could not get stronger?  They were enhanced as far as technology can allow them, and without Bulma or off-planet interference it's not like they're going to upgrade their bodies further.  They don't use ki in the traditional sense other humans do, like Krillin or Tien, rather reliant on the their cybernetic implants.  So while they never run out of energy, they've got no ki sensing and they've got a cap at how far their energy output can be.  They can't just train to get stronger, essentially.

I mean, they were after all only components of Cell, they shouldn't be able to surpass him, yeah?  Granted that seems to be a theme with Super, Cell has went from being Perfect to the worst of the main villains.  Even Buu's getting better.

It's never really been said that they couldn't get stronger. Shenron couldn't make them fully human but he definitely restored some parts. #18 was able to have a child, and now #17 too, so there's definitely some wiggle room, they definitely want us to consider that they're as good as regular humans with a head start and not sweat up the details. Also it's still not about power level but skills. They're just showing us that they can at least survive god-level power.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on April 16, 2017, 05:15:01 pm
Eh...that's been an issue I've had with Super for a while now.  Throwing out power levels is as much a boon for its side characters as it is detrimental to its established history and bigger characters.  Really, no one should be touching these god forms, they wouldn't dare be if he was simply SSJ2, never mind SSJ3, yet he makes it seem so damn weak.  Then a week later, he fist bumps Beerus and accidentally wipes out a third of the universe from existence with a fraction of his power.  Plus it's Goku, he's supposed to be the definition of power and skill in a fight, because that's all he's good at.

Ah well, no use complaining about it now I suppose.  Personally, I'm not a fan of #17 or #18 getting stronger.  One, because they're already past Super Saiyan level, they can easily annihilate multiple planets, maybe a solar system if need be?  Two, the whole cyborg change should mean something beyond sensing them.  And three, you can still play the skill card without further power increases.  #17 shows he still retains that powerful barrier of his.  But I guess this'll keep them alive to be more useful in the tournament than initially expected, so see where that goes from there.

Presuming #17 does show up that is, this episode ending like it did.

I'm really feeling the same way about it now too. I'm mean Goku even states that he didn't think he'd have to go up to SSB against #17 AND that even in Blue form #17 was still holding back. I find it ironic that even with all the training Goku and Vegeta did with the Gods to get where they are now virtually everybody around them is either coming up to or nearly rivaling them with less than half the work or time.

He couldn't make them fully human because they were human to begin with. They were converted to cyborgs by Gero. It's something that's overlooked but Gero could make fully mechanical cyborgs (1-16). When 16 tells 17 that he is fully mechanical the latter wonders why Gero would try to make human based cyborgs (so that Cell could absorb them).



As for not being able to get stronger, 19 and Gero could absorb power and add that power to their base (rather inefficiently I might add) and Cell needs no explanation.

Post by: Byakko on April 16, 2017, 09:32:59 pm
Yeah, I mean when Krillin asked to restore #18's human body, Shenron said he couldn't do it all the way (I don't even see why, maybe it was so she'd keep her strength), and Krillin asked to at least remove the self-destruct mechanisms, that's what I was talking about.

yeah, but they were also weaker than cell anyway; not that they can't get stronger, particularly 17 since he kept on training, IIRC a few years we also went thorugh a discussion over the term artificial humans being used and not the technical term from scifi "android" or even cyborg, though in their case cyborg should be more accurate.

Sorry I always had problems with terminology here, in the German dub they where always "Cyborgs", I remeber it that way and always get confused about that, because they are "Androids" in the Japanese and Englisch dubs, I try to use artificial humans next time.^^

Hey Lichtbringer, technically you aren't incorrect. While they're titled androids in the English and Japanese versions, they're actually cyborgs by definintion. They were modified by Dr. Gero at some point. V:

Post by: Long John Killer on April 17, 2017, 06:31:26 pm
I've always categorized it as 17 and 18 are cyborgs, but the program Gero initiated to kill Goku with these mechanical superhumans is the Android program.  Thus, they're labeled Android 17 and 18 in his roster of test subjects, but technically are cyborgs.

Also Cyborg 17 or Cyborg 18 just doesn't sound as intimidating as Android 17 or 18.  I dunno, maybe that's just me?  I blame listening to that Budokai announcer saying their names so often.

What I appreciate is that this took Toriyama's old "draw now, explain later" habits that gave us a messy removal of Ultimate Gohan because Goku was still more popular, and then turned it into character growth. We can finally stop making fun of dumbass Gohan screwing up Cell and Buu despite being far more powerful.

So I after long break I finally caught up with manga and read 19-23 chapters and maaaaan that was sooo good. I don't know if this is really Toriyama script, or Toyotaro is making these changes by himself bur this really make Anime look bad.

There is almost zero plot holes, character development is so much better and changes making the story better. Biggest difference is how they handle Goku (and a bit Vegeta too). He is more like in orginal manga and DB/DBZ, more intelligent and rational, while in DBS anime he soooo often arrogant and plain stupid, which is often not even funny. That clown pose was funny & believeable when he was kid & young guy. Now he is grown ass man and acting all careless & stupid doesn't suit his character at all.

Even Zamasu's fusion is temporary in the Manga which is better. He feels less god-ish when he realizes that. Also, Vegeta hears about the temporary fusion while he was standing in front of fused Zamasu. As for Goku, he needs to act better.

In the latest Episode, I enjoyed Gohan and Piccolo's training. It even became better when Piccolo said something like, "I don't believe this is your true strength. Don't you want to see what power you have? Let's find out!" That shows that Gohan might get a new transformation/form in The Series.

Here's to hoping for a Dragon Ball Super Kai or a Dragon Ball Super Brotherhood anime later on in the future. Because you guys are right, the manga is far superior to the anime, it's like night and day as far as the way the story and characters unfold. I was only up to the point Zamasu and Black were going to fuse, I'll have to check the latest chapter I guess. I hope the ending to the Trunks/Black/Zamasu stuff is just a bit less stupid, which seems like it may be the case judging from the rest of the manga.

the electric shock he used on goku was supposed to lock him inside and without any moves, but it wasnt able to lock things like transformations so goku turned into an ape to break out of it.


I did only see the portuguese version so maybe it was a thing on our dub?


Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on May 07, 2017, 08:28:06 pm
It's an electric blast that covers the opponent's whole body and paralyzes them because it's electric, I don't read anything more than that into it. Looking it up, the Japanese name implies a surprise shock (and is a play on word on something else so the exact translation is irrelevant).

not really. the episode's budget isn't as big as the main ones and there aren't any terrible frames. the animation is generally solid, take off your nostalgia goggles. people seem to forget that dbz had ALOT of badly animated episodes where characters looked off-model in one episode then perfect the next, then terrible again. this is always the case with long-running shounen anime. get used to it.

also gohan has always been relevant. he just wasn't a meathead like the rest of the saiyans that were all about fighting, he actually had a compelling reason to lay low for awhile and that made him more relatable. they also took a really iffy plot point from the buu saga and turned it into a good stage of development where he realizes he has always been arrogant since the buu saga. his great saiyaman episodes were some of the best ones of the entire series.

Oh yeah, that too ! I have no doubt about that, the preview alone was classic "opening of a generic mecha anime" sequence, lol. But the rules say they can't have weapons, rights ? So they're probably going the "living machine" route like the u6 robot, I thought, not people inside a giant mecha. The imagery is spot on though.
Plus, it's Toei, they're already used to animating all these styles, they do all the shows.

-The animation is so much better than last episode
-Oh... Frost is back again...? They better redeem his character if he's reappearing
-I can't tell if Roshi is legit trying to overcome his thirstiness or just wanted an excuse to act rapey like he did with Yurin
-I noticed how Puar perfectly made a female... y'know without the simple black dots for eyes like before. Toei making fun of their off-model animation in episode 42 confirmed...
-Turns out the green-haired girl, Brianne de Chateau, is the fat alien woman Vegeta will end up fighting
-Their excuse to keep Boo out of the plot is him sleeping... again? Does this nigga sleep through the whole show... and just when he got fit?

Overall... decent episode.

Considering we'll get two female Saiyans and a magical girl (hot but who turns fat) I assume they wanted to show that he might not get taken out the second he steps on the ring. Now if it becomes actually relevant during the fight and they push through with it, I dunno.

Oh, between the Super Sentai, Magical Girl, mecha universes, and the animorph theme with the wolf gang, I imagine we might get an American Superhero universe. Could even be the dancing group that only thinks about strength. Between DC and Marvel, one would have cosmic powers and magic and its twin all the animal motifs like Spiderman, Black Widow etc.

Yes to both.  I still think it's a shame that they bothered to mention in canon what the fans realized from Z about Ginyu still being around, only to kill him off unceremoniously anyways.  His body swapping ability could have had further uses in the show.  Especially now, with the leaks about who's returning, what kind of interactions we'd get between them.

A good Episode 92 for Dragon Ball Super this week, could care less about about the other Universes we saw. The only things I dug in this week was Goku having to deal with everyone being pissed as Goku for lying about the money for the money, deal with finding a new 10th member, as well as Cabba teaching Kale and Caulifla to do the Super Saiyan form. Is it me or anyone else pissed on how easy Caulifla was able to do it easier than Cabba, and it meaning nothing? What I mean is Cabba achieving it with the help of Vegeta is handed better, and Caulifla just seems to want the power to punk her way to get more power and money from others at her will.  When did the SS form become so technical do this..do that with your back come on lol. Kale going to do her Super Saiyan form and Cabba is scared as fuck, almost like these two ladies are stronger than him and that shouldn't be when he's been using it longer than the both of them. Oh well next week Episode 93 is going to be lit, it's going to be interesting how the conversation with Frieza and Goku goes.

You forget that the Saiyans of Universe 6 evolved differently, so it's possible that it is easier for them to turn into Super Saiyans, if they now how to do it, without all the anger and emotion stuff, or it could be that just Female Saiyans of Universe 6 can transform so easily, that could even apply too all female Saiyans as far as we know right now.

Well if they do what I want them to do is recon the ending of Z or continue the show after Z would be something cool to see. Buu being in a sleep coma is just what the fuck to me as well. I mean I love Frieza, rather of wanted to see Cell come back, but he's not as strong as Frieza so I get the choice. Buu solo Episode of him being skinny and in more powerful than before, just to put him to sleep and go back to being is fat just no. Remember about a month ago Goku and Dende were talking about Uub, hmm I wonder if Toei has something with Buu and Uub in the next arc after the Tournament of Power?

GT is not Canon, more so an alternate universe type of thing. I mean if I would like to see that happen, but it probably won't happen.  Honestly the ending of Z was down right horrible after the greatness of all the arcs before that, and I just can't see them going with Super. I see Super continue for many years to come, if not Super something that happens after Super and is not GT. People are loving Toei and Z, it's making money hand over fist and we know money talks and bullshit walks. Just saying don't be shocked after Super is done completely we hear news new series that is after Z.

Then that's my main question how do you end Super, with all that time gap between the end of the Buu Saga and the end of Z. That's a problem I see happening, with people not being happy with that either.

You end it with a drop in power, moving on with the whole god deal, maybe with a wish to revert things to before Beerus woke up to prevent whatever cataclysmic reason at the end of the series, the universes stay separate but whatever differences were made to them in the meantime remains and the follow-up series focuses on them with some interaction with the main universe post end of Z, but before the start of GT.  Toriyama's already done a side series before with Jaco, and they can certainly have plenty to explore with these other universes.

That'd be my guess and preference, anyways.  Like with each prior power increase, it brought up even greater problems to the Z-Warriors.  Have a little reflection time with Goku, his friends/family and his search for greater power.

Why would their need to be a drop in power with anyone? If you taking about GT vs Super yes it makes no sense SS Blue is stronger than 4, but it's non-cannon so you don't need to make them weaker at all.  Super Saiyan doesn't exist and never did in this Universe consider GT more so a what if type of show. Even if Beerus gets wished to sleep, unlike Beerus would allow that to happen he would still wake up again time loop style and we have the same thing happen with him coming to Earth looking for Goku. I know one thing they need to fix that Trunks is in the a timeline before Zamasu showed up, with another Trunks who is weaker of course.

Post by: Long John Killer on May 29, 2017, 05:21:25 am
You missed the point on why they in-canon would want a power drop, though the benefit of helping GT retain what little ties it could is a bonus for its fans I suppose, since as long as they're going to continue to keep GT alive in games they might as well not completely alienate its fans watching Super.  But no, a drop in power scales to match what used to be the interpreted Z ending is the reinstating of peace for the universe.  No Beerus causing trouble on Earth, bringing Goku to the gods levels and him then interfering with the other universes, Goku being present on Earth to prevent Frieza's return thanks to his underlings, the events of the universal tournament already played out and supposedly by the end of this series all settled with Zeno.  Trying to deescalate the universal situation was Goku's plan with his removal from the equation with Cell, would be nice if that was the inspiration to go off of here as well.

It's also a little nudge to the SSJ4 fans I guess in Goku's power search that in this interpretation, he would have seen the errors of needing SSJG put upon him, compared to getting to a new level of power on his own, but getting help when needed?  I dunno, both required outside help, but SSJG always felt wrong on Goku, which in-character he seems to agree on.

I suppose reevaluating this though, Beerus would need to awaken at some point regardless to do his duties, which would lead him to interacting with Goku.  Maybe retain their memories?  Have Whis retain them only, and swat Beerus on the nose when he's doing something out of line more often?  Just spitballing guesses here, but I wouldn't be against an ending in this vein.

I mean I like GT more than most, if Toriyama was apart of it, it might of been better. I don't think the people with DB Super give two shits about GT and wanting make that minority of fans happy. I can see peace after all said and done for sure, but Goku is still going to be super strong than the end of Z shows. Let's fix the wrongs of GT, and do a series after Z and see where it goes. With that you can Trunks, Goten not be a total waste of time like in GT. Pan can grow up and become a SS herself, with peace comes something evil it's always been that way. They take time off after the events of the Frieza saga, Garlic JR shows up. After that Android Arc happens, then Cell Arc. Next more time of peace and the Buu saga starts up. I mean I'll predict this when DB Super is done were going to see a Teenage Gotenks, so how they look at the end of Z is what were going to see.  Also were going to get more storylines involving the other universes in the tourney, because I expect loads of cheating and sly tricks during it.

Imagine if the other Zeno turns bad, or the Grand Priest is evil and everything goes to hell?! Imagine Zeno getting  bored and saying the Gods of Destruction of each Universe has to now fight with their teams OH MY GOD!

That's some manipulative clickbait.
The guy quotes the polls that show Gohan's popularity dropping like a brick, but he somehow says it's not because of the fans because there's no other evidence. He simply disregards the fact that the editor is the one asking Toriyama to steer stuff in a certain direction when things go bad in the ratings. That's been documented and pointed out multiple times by Toriyama himself, going one way or another (supporting one element or ditching another, even entire characters and arc direction), and we know for a fact that it could happen from chapter to chapter, not over a long arc, making Toriyama switch his plans literally the week after he started something (see : androids).
Obviously it's perfectly possible that Toriyama also happened to agree (especially considering he said exactly that himself), but to say that there was no fan/editorial pressure to drop Gohan is just as dishonest as the other way around. There's no myth.

I'm really happen with Episode 93 this week. We had Kale going fucking nuts on Caulfila and Cabba and giving them more training they ever had in their lives that so pathetic about it too. Oh let's just power up and not stay in the form and train, it's too late to get that training now. I see Caulfila arrogance being her weakness and getting herself eliminated, and Kale is on a emotional Roller Coaster so she might not able to keep with that anger forever so that will get eliminated. Cabba..ohhh Cabba what a waste, you'll get eliminated before the two of them that's for sure.

I would say Kale though transforming and all was dope to see, just don't see them being any kind of dent in the tourney though when the going gets tough. Also in the Episode 93 Goku and Frieza with all that sexual tension just kidding interesting talk for sure. Frieza wants to be resurrected,  that's if he wins the tourney itself..but will Frieza become a good guy now? I mean if he wins or the team wins and he gets resurrected, pretty sure he'll get finished off pretty quick if he go nuts after that happens. Still a great Episode.

Kale doing chest rams on tiny Cabba slamming him into mountains was pretty funny compared to Broly doing the same.

If green ssj Kale can stand up to the god level of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, expect fans to consider this canon for Broly.

Well her looking completely like Broly and doing all his moves makes her sorta Canon just like that, but more so a tribute to him. I'm interested in seeing Kale go further with that form and create something new.

Yandere Super Saiyan Kale was amazing~ Too bad, i was expecting her to release the Doom Rain of Green Energy Balls after she said "My Power... Is Overflowing..." but that would be too much.
The chapter feel so short TBH, probably because the lack of conversation but those funny quick saiyan fights made it good for me.

They really did reduce Super Saiyan to a joke, haven't they? Apparently these bitches can turn SSJ just from playground insults. There's also blatant parallels to Kale's LSSJ and Broli.

The interaction with Goku and Freeza was definitely chilling. At least Goku is acknowledges how dangerous Freeza is but I don't like how it implies Goku would be fine with him reeking havoc as long as he's strong.

As absent-minded they're pushing Goku with this series is, I don't think they're also going to attempt to make the good guys straight double-crossers, even to the villainous Frieza.  But I do suspect some sort of shenanigans.  Likely among their wishes with the Super Dragon Balls, to wish Frieza can not be brought back to life.  Overrule the Earth Dragon Balls and likewise the Namekian ones with a higher power, then give Frieza his restoration wish.  Technically, they'll be holding their word, just it won't do anything.

I'm really not against these U6 goofs jumping to SSJ3, realizing even with those multipliers their base stats being so weak they won't get too far, but it occurs to me now, maybe Caulifla is going to be a replica for SSJ2 Teen Gohan fans.  To some limited extent, obviously they have their fair share of differences, but vain child with something to protect? (Earth/Kale)  I can see a little resemblance.

They could be sending people to take out Frieza and you know Goku and Frieza will be able to handle them blindfolded. Universe 4 should be getting their team together and not worrying about the other Universes.

The story's brought up previously that Beerus' life is tied to Supreme Kai's and done nothing with it.   Now someone wants Beerus dead.  Seems to me the logical next step is someone's out for Supreme Kai's life now.

Just they'll fail and likely be disqualified and we get our first example of one of the universes in play being destroyed.  Maybe getting brought back in the end, but lets not presume that far ahead.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 04, 2017, 10:18:39 pm
It sounds more like the U4 guys are going to mess around so that Freeza ends up betraying the team and causing shit. They were specifically interested in Freeza being an emperor of evil, taken straight out of Hell, their interest feels Babidi-like. There's no point in them trying to attack Freeza before the tournament, if they think they can take him out (somehow, because they don't even know how strong he is), they might as well do it during the tournament.

As for the Kais or the gods of destruction, they have no effect on the tournament, there's zero point in any attack against them. At best it's something for much later, but it was already kind of a point with Zamasu who used the Kai's death to move without risking getting attacked by a god of destruction. They did use that plot.

@Long John Killer
Story could have used that in Zamasu/Black arc.Gowasu could have explained that to Zamasu(Black).But they wasted the opportunity,they also could given us a explanation why Beerus was sleeping while Buu was wiping the floor with Kai's like manga did but no,Anime is good but not good as manga.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 04, 2017, 10:30:51 pm
They did use it, Zamasu specifically attacked the future timeline because the Kai got killed there and there was no God of destruction anymore to stop Zamasu (except for some reason he then went on and killed the Kais of the other universes from that timeline anyway, as if the only one that mattered was Beerus). I'm pretty sure this was confirmed in both the manga and the anime.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on June 04, 2017, 10:35:07 pm
I'm inclined to believe Frieza's smarter than that.  Frost was already introduced to give us an example of someone akin to Frieza betraying the rules and got what was coming to him, and the stakes are higher and made present to Frieza.  He may play their game for a bit, as long as its in his greater interest than following Goku's lead, but as soon as it helps him less than Universe 4 he'll have no further use of their plot and no reason to listen to their pleas.

Also it's DBZ's first real huge antagonist, a big name in the franchise as a whole and presumably they don't wish to downplay Freiza like that.

The Kais aren't involved in the tournament themselves, yeah, but Shin's still lifelocked to Beerus and they want Beerus dead.  I don't see them dispersing of him so easily with someone simply stronger than Beerus, I still think they want to have Goku to be the first to beat him on screen in a fair one-on-one match, seeing that's how they started this whole mess.  I did overlook Zamasu prior, but I'm inclined to believe it has some further relevance and will come up soon.  But it's all just guesswork, see what direction they go with this.

It didn't,in anime Zamasu/Black didn't exactly said that,they kiiled Kai's its never implied in anime so how does Zamasu/Black knows this?Black said he killed all gods.We know he killed supreme kai's but its never said in anime.

Well sure, but that would actually be an interesting subplot. It's definitely going to backfire because Freeza is getting hyped like no tomorrow (we even got a promise for a further evolution and a new fight with Goku), but I've no doubt that U4 is planning something like that, because they don't know all that.
Oh, and speaking of this, that explains why they went through the trouble of making the Freeza movie, making him come back, giving him a new form, only to get his ass kicked and killed off again (that was kinda weird) : they wanted to bring him back again.

(edit :
I was just thinking, the original Goku / Vegeta fight in the Saiyan saga was pretty much the best fight in any shounen manga of all time because Vegeta was treated the same way as a hero, coming back again and again in pure nekketsu style, and if Freeza is teasing that he could keep training, mayyyybe they want to give him that same feeling as Vegeta back then ??? I'd actually love that)

It sounds like something for after the tournament. Well, everyone should expect only one universe to remain after the tournament, so it shouldn't matter, but I just don't see what they'd gain by getting rid of Beerus before or during the tournament, there's no point, even if "that's what they want". I suppose they could do it through their plans for Freeza, at most, and chalk it up to "it's just for kicks because we hate that guy's guts", two birds one stone kind of plan. Alternatively it's just the anime being dumb for no reason once again and we can just disregard it, let's not forget that possibility.
The GoD-Kai connection could always come back later to reinstate the status quo of the ending of Z, I would imagine. A plot line for later.
It didn't Zamasu/Black didn't exactly implied Black said he killed all gods.We know he killed supreme kai's but its never referred in anime.
He didn't kill Supreme Kai, Buu did (well, probably Dabura and Babidi, actually). He only killed Gowasu.

I know, I mean, he searched for a timeline where it was the mot advantageous, and he settled for one where the only difference was Beerus was dead. And then he killed the other Kaiohshins anyway. It makes it feel like the only one that he cared about was Beerus, because if Beerus wasn't a problem, then he might as well have picked another world and killed Shin himself.

Caulifa went from non-ssj to ssj2 in the span of about 2 hours

Post by: Byakko on June 06, 2017, 07:53:34 pm
With Bardock going from shit tier to close to King Vegeta level by nearly dying over and over in every mission precisely because he was bad, it also seems like Saiyans usually didn't abuse the "escape death => zenkai boost" mechanic like Goku. They weren't used to losing and getting back up, they didn't have the shounen nekketsu spirit. Vegeta was basically the first who did it on his own, before that people mocked Bardock.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Shocksconstant on June 06, 2017, 08:24:57 pm
Ah but Vegeta trained fairly hard and had that breaking point (is this my limit!?) before becoming ssj. Caulifa literally just heard of it and achieved both ssj1 and 2 the same day Cabba first taught her to. All that without any half breed boosters or known zenkai boost to help. Goten and Trunks who I assumed keep up their training can't even get that far. Future Trunks, before SS rage was only ssj2 after 10 years of continuous training. So if their are other saiyans in the other universes besides U6, based on what we've seen U7 saiyans would be on the lower end of the spectrum.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Formerly Hoshi on June 06, 2017, 09:04:45 pm
Who's to say that the biology of the U6 Saiyans are exactly the same as U7's? Becoming Super Sayans might just be easier for them. Besides, just because you can turn Super Saiyan when you're weak doesn't mean that you automatically gain the strength that Goku did when he first turned.

Weak base form -> less weak Super Saiyan
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Shocksconstant on June 06, 2017, 09:15:55 pm
I guess that could of been the case if it weren't for Vegeta being so impressed with Cabba's power when they fought in the old tournament that he believed Cabba could already achieve SSJ. Remember Vegeta base at this point could match ROF Freeza Final Form so for cabba's base powers to make an impression on Vegeta like that means Cabba at SSJ is definitely leagues outside of Goku's when he first transformed. Your Saiyan biology thing just drives my point home further.

probably u6 saiyans are already half breeds and genetically superior that explains why they don't have any tail, maybe in some point in their history their ancestors breed with other humanoid species making them somewhat similar to gohan and trunks. they act very different from u7 saiyans the only saiyans that has similar behavior are tarble and geni they more human than your stereotypical saiyan brute.

I just hope with all the progressing of power Toei is giving to the Universe 6 Saiyans, they need to let go to their home world and see their parents and their lives. I remember Cabba wanting Vegeta to do that, but don't know how Gods and Zeno would feel fighters going over to other Universes. I mean he might kill off you know who when he finds out he traded out Universe 7 for someone else.

I thought Episode 94 of Dragon Ball Super was going to be meh, but their were some gem moments in this Episode tonight. I mean who didn't laugh when 17, 18 and Krillin were all talking? 18 saying to her Brother, get my Daughter's name wrong again I'll kill you, bitch please do you know how strong he is now lol. Still a Woman that is protecting their little Cub is a dangerous Woman. I don't get how leaving Marron with Goten and Trunks is a good idea, oh she's tough..yeah since when?

I like the confrontation between 17 and Piccolo, that tease like they were going to fight and instead Piccolo puts out his hand. Yeah I would like to see a rematch between them, because Piccolo had 17 dead to rights and might of had a shot to beat him if Cell didn't show up. The Frieza/Goku punching in the gut saying hi to the other was funny as hell to see. Too bad Frieza is going with another Universe, but could of given us some good segments with them working together with him. He'll die a horrible death now, which is a waste of a decision to even have him in this. Well next week Frieza and Goku knocking Goons like Bowling pins, and Goku is doing it in his Base Form take that in.

Post by: Omega on June 11, 2017, 09:33:16 pm
Super doesn't really follow the rules of Z.
How

I don't exactly know how to explain but, look at it. Power levels and transformations are useless.
- Goku Blue struggled against Zamasu and Goku Black, while Trunks was beating the crap out of them with no God Ki at times (before his fake god form). Trunks is basically much weaker than Goku.
- 17 kept up with Goku Blue.
- Krillin was holding against Goku Blue when they had a Kamehameha Beam Struggle even if this was a short time. 18 ended that with a simple kick?

It's like everyone in Super can keep up with any form now while Super Saiyan Blue is the strongest form. Goku was not able to keep up with Beerus as he was learning to use the God Ki. How are the other ones which are no Saiyan suddenly able to keep up with Goku's Blue form? Blue is even stronger than Goku God (red-ish hair) 

In Z, if a transformation wasn't enough, they came up with tactics and fusions. The weaker became weaker. They were training and getting stronger as their so called powers had levels. What happened to that? Take some steps back. If Super was solid and accurate, Goku and Piccolo would have beaten Raditz easily in Z. Or Goku wouldn't die or lose against Cell. Z kept strong ones strong and weak ones weak with power scaling. Super doesn't follow any of that.

Zamasu isn't even dead yet, and they skipped one entire trip between present and future, so yeah, they skipped Super Saiyan Rage but we don't know yet how Zamasu will die. I forgot if they even did something with the Mafuuba but the manga is a LOT more consistent about the slightest detail.

Goku used it to trap Zamasu but took one of Roshi's porn coupons instead of the seal so it didn't work. Then the fusions started happening

i wouldn't count on it, the group who are in charge of 70% of dbs animation is doing one piece too. either they are treating dbs as a side project and letting their new employees take over or they're literally  driving their workers to exhaustion and dbs is the end product of that.

their studio is like 20 mins drive from where i'm living right now. i've been there before too it's just a tiny office probably they've got 40 people there. and the only good animation they ever did is some episodes of one piece and kyousogiga (scratch that they only done little work for kyosogiga)

Episode 95 was the tits tonight. Frieza being savage and bad ass as fuck throughout the whole Episode. That tease he was going to join another Universe and time ran out woof thank goodness. I'm glad he fixed his stamina problems with his Golden Frieza form, but damn mental meditation is the mother fucking truth, and lolz Goku getting caught in the God of Destruction blast.  Goku and Frieza are even so he is the second strongest of the team, but isn't like Goku used his Kaio Ken on him so anyways nice ending to their fight. Frieza scheming too it seems to possibly sneak Beerus and kill him off, or as least make a agreement with someone during the tourney Frieza if you do that RIP bruh. Next Episode let's get everyone to the Stage and after that LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

Well they're not going to stop him differently from the anime. We still need two Zen-ohs, so Goku will still call for help from the future one. The multiple Zamasus are connecting back to what he did at the end in the anime, turn everything into him.
But man, the time limit on the potara fusion turned out to be useless, which feels like they only added it to show Super Vegito Blue but limit him. Actually, it feels like an excuse to show it again in the future without making it permanent...

This arc in the anime had serious issues towards the ending, but somehow the manga manages to keep the same issues and make them weirder.

That thing goku does has no narrative payoff and no buildup. Its really weird how they are setting it all up.

I preferred Black in the anime, he had more personality.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 20, 2017, 12:24:11 pm
it was a bit more obvious in the manga in his first fight against Vegeta that he didn't have Goku's full power, he looks visibly insecure when Vegeta goes blue and he can only go gold. But he kept improving through the fight until he went rosé. I liked that better than the anime.

Also, I realized something. Zamasu went one year into the future to be able to use the Super Dragon Balls and switch bodies with Goku. And the universes were still there. So Zen-oh didn't just forget about the tournament, he did forget about erasing half of the universes at all ? And the one in the future timeline never even thought of it, it seems.

Goku trying out the destruction technique is the build up to something else for later. I found it amusing that this came out in the manga at the same time the anime showed Goku failing to contain Sidora's destruction energy (but Freeza succeeding). It feels like both are foreshadowing something for later (we all know what it is).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Iced on June 20, 2017, 01:28:10 pm
yeah but now in the anime it has been shown as a thing that is granted. In the manga goku wasnt even near beerus when he hakaied zamasu, which was the first instance shown of that ability and they state that whis didnt teach it to him, so its even more out of left field.

Its not very good writing.


Now if in the anime he performed that move after what happened with freeza we would have been shown foreshadowing showing that they have experienced the energy first hand. So its a more effective buildup ( Also I think its rad that they showed that Cidra and the other gods can grant uses of their power, like relics, makes me wonder if Freeza supernova ability was a hakai sphere, considering that freeza was acting under beerus orders)

I thought about that but Beerus did use it in Battle of Gods. When he "destroyed Earth" (just a piece of rock) after the fight. It didn't look like it did in the manga, but the anime isn't making any distinction, especially after showing Sidora's ball of destruction energy. I'd be okay with calling it a retcon to make it match.

Besides, with how Toyotaro is extremely picky about clearing up every tiny detail, I have no doubt Goku will be asked about it and he'll tell us when he saw it.

To be Honest I liked the Anime version of the story more, and I'm a little bit confused about how strong Goku is at this point, he was is even able to fight a potara Fusion realy effectively until Zamasu started to use regeneration.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on June 20, 2017, 03:31:18 pm
Beating a potara fusion isn't so strange. Kid Buu fused with that one kaiohshin and became fat Buu and his threat level was very different. Zamasu is pretty shitty, the only point of the fusion was using Goku's body and Zamasu's immortality, but Zamasu most likely didn't make Goku Black Rosé that much stronger than regular Goku, especially after mastering the Blue form.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Lichtbringer on June 20, 2017, 06:25:03 pm
Mh Kid Buu absorbed the Fat Kaiohshin, and absorption works differently if I'm not mistaken, I think it just adds power and don't multiplies it.

Maybe I'm totaly wrong with it but I always got the impression that Fusions get a outstanding Powerboost, even if the Persons who Fuse are not that strong, Gotenks had enough power to reach SSJ3, something that Goten and Trunks are not able to do, Vegetto was able to fight Buu easily,  despite the fact that Boo absorbed, Piccolo,  SSJ3 Gotenks and Ultimate Gohan, even if there powers are just added to Buu's it would be far beyond Vegeta's and Gokus combined Power's if there is not some kind of Fusion power multiplier.

So even if the Basic Zamasu is not realy that strong, they at least should get some kind of power multiplier from the Fusion alone, that would give him a advantage over Goku.

Or everything is just lazy writing.  ;D

A good set up Episode for next week's Royal Rumble. Frieza and Frost have a secret alliance, what are the chances Frieza uses that and screws over Frost later in the fight? It's too easy to have them get together, because you know where the tunnel leads them to and that's being deleted. Some of the designs on the other fighters look really cool like that God of Destruction Fox, but some of them are so fucking goofy almost makes me want to shake my head because it looks like they didn't really care to give something unique. Jiren's appearance, Goku blinked and he was behind Goku WOAH! Goku was legit scared, and it seems Goku will be going after Jiren early on, imagine if Jiren and Goku eliminated each other that would be a shocker.

And yet, I can imagine them pulling something like getting wiped from existence and but still managing to come back from that.  Chalk it up to character growth, Goku learning a lesson in selfishness and teamwork and yadda yadda.

I'm curious if the rule that each participant is under an influence of their own original planet's gravity will come into any great affect  I mean, they bothered to mention it, so of course it has to, but I'm guessing it's more-so something, like, the gods were intending on that to keep crazier overpowered guys in a similar tier as guys stuck with Earth's gravity, and it's going to do squat.

Spoiler: Or another idea (click to see content)

Curious to see there's a Yardrat there.  I do not recall them being portrayed as fighters of any sort previously, but of course there's that trademark Instant Transmission.  He's likely there just for ring-outs, but wouldn't he just ring himself out too then?  Unless he positions it so he's always feet on the edge of the arena.  I think he's not going to last long, but take a few of the oddball characters from less focused universes out before focusing on anyone the audience is supposed to care for.

I feel the situation with Cabba/Caulifla/Kale is going to boil down to Cabba's affection to Vegeta holding him up in a fight, angering both Caulifla and Vegeta himself.  When those trade blows over it, Vegeta's going to be the obvious win, even with her unusual SSJ growth rate, and that'll bring up new Broly.  Which would be nice, because there have been a number that thought it would have been more appropriate for Vegeta to be the center of Broly's rage, so just transfer that over to Kale who's already done a number of homages to the Broly movies.

Yeah I know, but pretty sure that whoever wins gets a wish so they'll be able to bring him back with the Super Dragon Balls if he does die. I rather see a new hero win this for Universe 7 it would be lazy to just have Goku win again lol. I thought we were going to have Jiren vs Goku later in the fight, but damn it seems like those two might be facing each other the duration of the battle. Vegeta vs Hit and Gohan vs Toppo yo..

Gohan VS Toppo won't really do as Toppo was able to hold against Goku Blue. Gohan needs to rage and get a new form like Future Trunks was raging against Zamasu and Goku Black. It's still interesting to see how far everyone can go in that Stage.

Soo not realy DB Super Related but don't know where to talk about it, and I don't want to make an new Topic just for that, the Japan only Dragon Ball 4D Movie features Gogeta Blue to fight "God Broly", what do you guys think of that?

Any Chance this form could find it's way into the Anime/Manga, or will Gogeta stay a Movie/Game Character forever?

Since nothing in the Anime seems to be "Canon" anyway because of Toei Animation and Toyotarō approach the project in radical different ways, I would say that the chance for it happening in the Anime at some point is there, even if the chance is small, and I don't see any chance for it happening in the Manga,  unless Toyotarō surprises us all with a last minute story  change somehow.

I gotta give Super credit... it didn't cut corners as much as I thought it would during the battle royal... though it's not quite as animated as I would like it to be. In fact, Super's been on a roll with good-looking episodes lately. Hope it stays that way.

It seems Vegeta isn't too concerned about doing the right thing like Goku and Freeza aren't, shame. Selfishly decides to fight on his own.

Now there's a new ending... nice.

Lol Universe 9 see you later, they fought hard well some of them the Daggers Brothers the rest were just bums with such arrogance glad they are gone. I find it interesting one Angel and Grand Priest were smirking at one of the Universes going bye bye. I wonder if Grand Priest wants to own the world and possibly he wants to have all the Universes gone, so he can kill off Zeno when he drops his guard somewhere toward the end of the tourney when his plan isn't going like he thought it would? Imagine if he kills off the Zeno from Trunks's timeline woah. I also saw in the preview my prediction was right Frost is going to be the person that make Krillin go over the edge when he see's her getting her ass kicked!
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: ShinZankuro on July 09, 2017, 09:32:57 am
I just think that theories of the G.P. and the Angels being villain beings is just a bullshit

I mean, if they REALLY are villains, what the warriors and the last god of destruction[obviously Beerus and the universe 7] could do against at least the other angels?

It's like when Beerus was introduced in Super, everyone though he was some kinda of traitor, then Whis, then Vados, then Champa and all.

One thing is sure to happen: Goku and his universe is safe, considering the ending of Z and how Goku reached a level of power without needing to transform anymore.

From all possibilities, three of these are the mostly likely to happen:

1 - Goku wins the tournament, and wishes for Super Dragon Balls to recreate all the deleted universes from the exact point where was deleted, but with the destruction gods freed from the life-link with the angels. Then one of the safe gods of destructions suggests a new tournament but with their warriors.

2 - The universes aren't being truly destroyed(Yeah, Whis and the other angels could lie about it, like him and Vados did when Hitto comes in Earth to assassinate Goku) and they make everyone appears again at the end.

3 (An, for me, the most possible) - Goku wishes to rewind the time until the point Beerus was going to awake, and then make Beerus to never knew about the Super Saiyan God, then Beerus continues to sleep for hundred years. In some way, the real person who was responsible for everything about the gods and the massacre in the Tournament of Power was Beerus with his desire to fight against the Super Saiyan God.

So a universe only gets destroyed if all ten of its warriors are eliminated?

So... why wouldn't there just be a deal between the fighters at the start to only eliminate nine guys on a team? There didn't seem to be any actual incentive to fully eliminate a team, only to last the 48 minutes with the most of your team left.

Universe 9 really wanted universe 7 to disappear so there wouldn't be any deal like that. The Super Sentai universe is probably thinking the same thing with Toppo calling Goku evil, they probably wouldn't compromise (because the plot would demand it).

I have to say, I'm really getting the impression that whatever the Zeno twins did, that was not deleting them.  I'll hold off on the crazy conspiracy theories, but compared to Zamasu being wiped by either Beerus or Zeno, it really feels more like a mass warp thing than a painful erasure of their existence.  Also Whis doing the double checking on Universe 9 itself and keeping the staff to himself, knowing he's the one who doesn't have anything to lose in this tournament?  And Universe 9's angel having that smirk can be interpreted a number of ways.

Also just feels like bad marketing to make all these new characters, some with some extent of background lent to them before this tournament, to then just remove them all from ever appearing again.  It's not like a sad death that the fans will remember like with Android 16, it's just "Here's a character you'll like.  You can't have them anymore".  Dragon Ball's not the series to start taking after Game of Thrones.

I guess we'll see as more universes get tossed out of the ring and they get the same fate to them though.  Just not buying they're gone yet.

I don't buy it, I think they did erase them (and Goku is thinking of having a word with them about it) (I also don't buy the theory that the priests and angels have some plan, it would be too out of left field because we know nothing about them yet, it would be a really boring twist because we never knew them to be good to begin with), but it would be pretty amusing if it turned out that they actually mean erasing the losers as in merging them with the winner from the beginning. Although I don't know what that would mean for the Gods of Destruction (the Kaiohshins probably wouldn't care since they're used to being several at the same time - and it probably wouldn't mean shit for the angels).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 09, 2017, 09:30:08 pm
We have known about Whis for a while now though, yet he can mostly be summarized as seemingly on the good guys side, values his own interests higher than the rest of the universe's and is buddy buddy with the other angels.  We might not know or care about the other angels all that much, but I'd buy the twist of Whis having some at first seemingly nefarious plot we'll learn about through this tournament only for surprise, it's for the good guys benefit (And his own) more than all these new guys just never coming back.

The fusing universes thing just feels....I don't know.  A cop out answer?  I mean, it would save the characters.  It just also demotes them as less important?  I thought a big deal of this arc was toning down the Saiyans and evening the playing field for all the other characters, but if our universe is going to win anyways, I dunno.  Doesn't feel right.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series

We're talking about the shittiest universes duking it out for the right to survive, from the start we're looking at the losers bracket. Universe 7 was supposed to be the lowest of those, but that's as a whole, having two god of destruction-level Saiyans (plus Gohan who's supposedly approaching their level, and then there's Freeza) should largely make up for it in this fight. And in the first place, the level of the gods of destruction should be the highest in all the universes (not counting the angels, priest, and Zen-oh), so we already knew there wasn't going to be anyone pose a real threat to the Blue Brothers - the fun will be with stuff like Hit's time skip and Jiren's "too cool to move" attitude.
The rest of the fight is only about the other guys (Krillin etc.) not getting eliminated, that'll be the big point of it since it'll be down to the number of survivors (until Goku and Vegeta wipe out everyone else at once at the 47'50'' mark which makes it universe 7 : 2, everyone else : 0) (but then again you can bet your ass that Vegeta will be an idiot again and get himself eliminated in a situation where he really shouldn't lose).

Well, I think the last survivors in the climax will be Jiren, Goku, Hitto and some overpowered guy from the Universe 4(Because Quitela)

And there's also the "safe" universes who didn't entered the tournament. I just think there something to happen involving these missing universes. (Maybe a second tournament of power in a far future)

and some overpowered guy from the Universe 4(Because Quitela)
I haven't cared to look at the cast for each universe yet, but they spent so much time making universe 9 look like such horrible assholes with that Rou guy, so that having them wiped out first wouldn't be a big surprise and possibly a good thing. So now, seeing that Quitela has been an asshole too and plotted some dirt shit moves, and seeing that the rest of U7 cast is going to face Quitela's guys next week, it feels like Quitela's universe is the next on the shit list.
In the first place, it didn't feel like there was anyone particularly standing out in term of unique power or strength beside Jiren and Hit (with Freeza inserting himself in the finale). It just feels like it's pretty much decided. Quitela will be cannon fodder to show the growth of the U7 gang IMO.

they didn't look like they were disintegrated , the effect they used look the same with the teleport/flash step effect.  i was kinda expecting like what beerus did to zamasu or zenoh did to zamasu.

i'm still not convinced that they were destroyed either they were transferred temporarily away or teleported to a super universe that will host every multiverse's sentient beings. so saiyans will be back and that explains the db online story that in 200 years from the future saiyans are a common thing in earth. excluding goku gohan and vegeta there are only 4 saiyans that could repopulate the saiyan race and they can't do it in 200 years time.

We're talking about erasing a universe, it wouldn't have looked good to do the Beerus thing on empty space. They literally vanished out of existence rather than being turned to dust. and we did see that on the future timeline, with the same result as what Whis sees in his ball (blue emptiness).

Hey, how meta would it be if the weak universes in this tournament were the Super Sentai, magical girls, Gundam, furries etc. and the strong universes that we're not seeing yet are... the Marvel/DC superheroes ? And maybe a universe with ninjas and pirates since they weren't here, and maybe JoJo. Like, one level of meta above the meta we thought it was so far, it's not just a wink, it's literally a battle royale for ratings. It would also explain why the Super Sentai universe is the only one that poses a threat to the Dragon Ball universe lol.

Great fucking Episode this week Krillin and 18 showing their chemistry as a team, and damn Krillin put in that work in this Episode. Even using his shoe to confuse that Fox's scent shows his experience going back to him being a little kid in the tournament days in Dragon Ball. Lol though him getting a little too fucking cocky and getting eliminated by Frost. You know better Krillin, but at least you got a few eliminations we knew it was going to be you or Roshi going at first. Imagine that Roshi still in this damn thing lol. Universe's 9 Angel really giving no fucks about the people of his Universe, could it be that Zeno might let the Universe rebuild with the chance of having stronger fighters nah I must be thinking about that too much. Would be nice to see a plan to take out one of the Zeno's who knows. Next week Caulifla vs Goku, yeah pretty sure Goku Super Saiyan 2 is going to blow away hers, Cabba vs Vegeta and Vegeta on his knees? Maybe Vegeta didn't know he got even stronger than before, maybe SSJ 2 as well and Vegeta has to go SSJ2 himself and use his experience to eliminate him. Did I see Hit looking at Jiren, or was that a just a tease shot as we end the preview with Kale about to HULK SMASH PEOPLE?!

Vegeta meant "THAT saiyan's true form" not "all saiyans true form".
Nope, the line is "are wa honrai no Saiyajin sono mono" which pretty much means "what a Saiyan truly is originally" or "the original true form of a Saiyan" and definitely not "this Saiyan" (he says "it just might be" so he's not completely sure but it looks like a fair guess). That certainly is interesting.

Don't forget that Goku is still holding back even in his Blue Form, he can't just vaporize someone with a full charged Blue Kamehame Ha, he would be disqualified, he probably just attempted to drain her stamina but underestimated how strong this new form is.

Um, Caulifla IS stronger than Cabba, that was made pretty evident after awhile(but he is technically more skilled than she is as a fighter as he took out 2 enemies without even going SSJ while Caulifla needed SSJ to take out the Sumo Pig, she's just more of a genius than him) and Kale isn't using SSJ or close to SSJ2, Berserker is it's own form like Super Saiyan Rage or Rose'.

The difference is Kale can actually control the form now and can go full Berserker without losing herself.

What I'm worried about is that it'll end up with U7 (and a bit of U6) defeating everyone, we won't see the other universes fight each other or do anything meaningful until they get defeated by U7. Hell, we didn't even get to see how many fighters got blown out by Kale's Blaster Meteor.
But at least it's going faster than it could have gone. The furries and Super Sentai are going out fast and Kale is moving up quickly.

Movie, but the TV version of Resurrection changed things around, and some of it is interesting, some of it is bad.
A lot of the other universe's "heavy hitters" have jobbed.
Yeah, Jiren, Hit, Toppo, Cabba aren't doing shit and the other universes are nonexistent lol. The magical girls are probably just going to be comic relief without any real threat, although they may make Tien and Roshi shine just because girls are Roshi's weakness that he needs to surpass. That could still be amusing, but yet again, U7 is doing most of the clean-up.
Well, once again, this is supposed to be the "loser's bracket" of the 12 universes, as I said some time ago, none of them are probably going to be any sort of threat period, but still, this is just boring.
They just teased a Hit/Jiren fight but then fucked off elsewhere. In fact, I suspect it's going to show us Jiren *after* he destroyed Hit before moving on to fight Goku, just to make sure we know exactly how dangerous Jiren is (again), but without actually showing us anything.
I hope at the very least they'll show Freeza casually telling us how he wiped out everyone else while Goku was fooling around with the girls, if it's going to be all U7, at least that would be amusing.

Chill.  It's just a joke on the transformation trope ever present in the magical girl genre.  On a number of occasions, they actually process that the whole ritual they do is sometimes done instantaneously and is only there for the viewers' enjoyment while others it's in real time and is rather silly for someone outside such genre to come face to face to and politely wait for it to be finished before killing one another.

They can just as easily poke fun at their own expense when Goku gets this supposed new form if it's a reprise of Goku turning SSJ3 for Majin Buu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F20IeFnG8w) and others complain about the ridiculous non-stop screaming.

Yeah I know this show can't be all serious all the time, but their was things in this Episode that contradicts characters are who they are before this Episode example Toppo. Toppo no longer has credibility now in this show for me.  That's really bad Writing, if he wasn't apart of all that I wouldn't be as mad, but he was and that is a sore spot in a average Episode outside of 17 doing his thing.

ah, this was a very good episode, but the negative reactions were expected, it was full fo nice if ntoe ven clever jokes, far better than the usual toriyama .

to explain one joke, toppo specifically saying it was bad manners to interrupt them was part of the joke, as he is a sentai/power rangers universe representative and theya re also ones that depend on morphing.

Yeah but Toppo is not the guy to do that, especially after the evil stare and talk he gave Goku before the huge fight started. He was all business when he was talking to him, and that wasn't Toppo rather some goof from the same Universe  as those girls. They could of switched him with a person of her Universe and I would of gave my rating on it a higher one, but that wasn't justice to me. Everyone knows Nagata from NJPW is the only man who delivers true justice.

I'm happy to see Gohan getting some shine next week, really hoping Gohan is the one who faces Jiren in the end and beats him. Now we know what Goku might achieve going forward, but let's say it isn't enough and Gohan has to step in and beat him that would make me happy. If Goku beats Jiren in the end I think this tourney would be a waste of time to give him enough win on his belt.

Post by: Long John Killer on August 07, 2017, 02:52:06 am
...There's no conflict between Jiren and Gohan though?  There would be no emotional value at stake.  Besides blanketing everything under "The universes are at risk".  Which has lost its value after we started turning this into training grounds for Universe 6 and others started pulling jokes.  And unless we're presuming Jiren and Gohan are literally the last two left, Goku being the third to last that Jiren supposedly beats.  And even then I still don't buy it being a worthwhile ending.  Goku started this stupid tournament, he should end it.

Plus, though it's nothing but causing dead brain cells at this point, but power level wise, if we're expecting anything past God Goku levels out of Jiren, then Gohan's not even scratching him.  Though at this point in the series that can just as easily be hand-waved away.  Annoyingly so.

wtf yes he is. he's the most obviously glaringly sentai ripoff there is. that's how it is in their shows, when faced with evil they get all serious but when faced with other things it becomes silly.

it's a obvious jab at the concept of long ass transformations and topo adding on why it's so important to him just adds to that so much.

Toppo is very obviously a sentai universe thing and its silly to think that he wouldnt value transformations and poses.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: HoHo on August 07, 2017, 03:52:53 am
I highly disagree with these statement their group represents Power Rangers and Super Sentai, but Toppo and Jiren themselves don't represent it all.  Toppo might pose here and there for comical effect, but rewatch his scenes before all of this.  Like I said they gave us alot of Toppo before the fight and he's not that hookie type of character. The guy was talking to his crew about making sure things need to be in order with the other Pride Troopers taking care of their home as they went to go fight with the Universe. This is the same guy who steamed at Goku for all this happening and wanting to take this guy down before this tournament even started. 

If he wants to be that average character, then he needs to get eliminated so we can see more of Jiren. Right now all were getting is teases of his power and I want the full Meal.  I think were 6 Episodes into the fight, and I think 39 mins? Calculate how many Episodes were going to get more before this is done, unless we get some shadey type of stuff coming up when the going gets tough.

I can kinda see his perspective though. I mean, this is a tournament where the losers will vanish from existence. It's a total setting dissonance for characters to act as if they forgot the high stakes that this fight has, humorous as it may be.

I guess it can be excused with everyone being overconfident like Goku but yeah, not exactly what you'd expect from a game of life and death.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: lui on August 07, 2017, 07:11:55 am
thats the point of their archetypes tho, toppo's group is sentai and ribrianne's is magical girls.

them being extremely silly and goofy at a time in need is typical since that is what their shows are meant to do, they are meant to stand up in the name of evil according to them and not fall into a pit of despair and yadayadayada. basically they're supposed to inspire confidence to any kids that watch it especially considering that the stakes in their shows are really high and can result in a lot of death but they don't back down anyways.

its very common magical girl and sentai tropes and the episode pokes fun at that by having the other characters think they're pretty weird for it

The Pride Troopers are The Ginyu Force rip-offs and repeats. The only difference is that they are good guys. Both Pride Troopers and Ginyu Force are Tokusatsu's Super Sentai references.  We already knew that Super was a repeat of previous material.

I was actually trying to say that it was repetitive but I'm not negative about it. I didn't make a fuzz about DBS being so repetitive, so the pride troopers case is a small matter next to the whole series itself. The whole series is a recycle so I don't think we should mind The Pride Troopers that much.

Yeah, ssblue is literally going ssgod and then turning ssj. The manga has been talking about ssblue having issues retaining its power so ssgod might be the safe way, but for the anime ?

lol, two people in a row telling Goku not to let his guard down. First, no one trusts him one bit, second, that foreshadowing that he will fuck up.
Two Hellzone Grenades in a row and the U10 guy still gets hit, he didn't pay attention to #17 showing how to handle it.
Last time, Goku looked unhappy at U9 being erased, and now it's Gohan's turn. Maybe all of U7 will stand up to Zen'oh. Unless it was just a "harden your heart" moment for Gohan I guess, but just after Goku, it's suspicious.

I....still don't buy this universe erasing thing.  SOMEthing feels off.  It's....too ham-fisted.  Even for Dragon Ball.  At least they're making the characters care more for the events they're causing, but I swear, it feels like it's leading up to a last minute reveal that they're pulling your leg or something.

Regardless, it was a nice episode.  So, we got Godku coming back next episode.  It had actually kind of flew over my head, but seeing they've already deviated from the manga's stance on the form, presumably here in the show they'll still need 5 Saiyans to perform the ritual again.  Well, we still got Vegeta and Gohan in the gang, and what with Caulifla being in the preview and presuming Universe 6 is still all buddy buddy regardless of the overall situation, Cabba, Caulifla and Kale will round up the others needed.  Though I can imagine how it wouldn't be all too hard to rope in Caulifla and Kale, I'm having trouble picturing how they'll convince Cabba to help their eventual enemy.  Before this tourney started and we've progressed to where we are now, I would say Vegeta just lectures him into doing it, but considering he's already wanting to pick a fight with Vegeta, I'm not sure he'll just listen to his old temporary master.

Also guessing once Goku goes back to this form, this'll kickstart Jiren's real interest in fighting the guy once he finds he can no longer track Goku, making him a threat.  Unless we end up with Jiren getting god ki as well for some reason, in which case Jesus Christ just fight the guy already, he's being smart and getting buffs off screen!
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 13, 2017, 05:05:05 am
You seem to be forgetting that Goku and Vegeta don't need to redo the ritual. They've been accessing god ki ever since they went blue. Blue is red + ssj. In fact, Goku learned to go back to it without the ritual right since the movie it appeared in - he lost it for a moment, then went right back to it without anyone's help.
Although you're right that they could actually pull it off, but for the U6 guys - not that there's any reason Vegeta and Gohan would accept to do that.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 13, 2017, 05:12:16 am
I remember Blue being a mix of God and Super Saiyan, but I was always under the impression it was...how to put it.  A diluted take on the God form.  In reception of course but also in actuality in the show.  The manga went off and did this own thing, making it make more sense of Super Saiyan just being what you'd expect; a multiplier on top of God.  But since they never returned to the God form in the show, I always felt Blue was an alternative Goku and Vegeta just settled for, not overall as good as God but good enough, certainly strong enough to pass the levels of power they would have been back in BoG.

I mean, yeah, that can all just go right out the window if Goku just switches into God form next episode, but hell, just for sheer marketability I would have imagined if he could have they would have been flaunting God form as much as Blue in the show.

Also I thought the movies were deemed the non-canon version of those stories now?  I mean, they were better than the show's dragged out versions, but they settled to keep things canon to the show all within the show, no?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 13, 2017, 05:42:39 am
just to reiterate ; Goku has already proven capable of returning to red without the ritual ever since the bog movie (and the series), and the resurrection f arc immediately introduced blue as "go god and then go ssj on top of that". I don't see why you're trying to overthink it. They use blue more than red for the exact same reason they gave up using ssj2 and ssj3 and just stick with ssj, and that reason is "just because".
As for the movies being non canon, I'm not sure what you think that means, since it's not like there's any relevant difference (just the details of how Gohan fought Freeza's army but that's really not relevant to anything). Something that was said in the movie but not said in the series doesn't have to be suddenly false unless it's directly contradicted.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 13, 2017, 05:55:56 am
I don't know, it's just fun to dive into these analysis, I suppose.  But both SSJ2 and 3 have been showing up again, when the situation calls for them, it's just the situation doesn't often call for that type of power and/or drain, so yeah, plain SSJ is just the more logical option in many situations.  There have however been moments that would have been better suited for God than Super Saiyan or Blue that have come up since RoF, but Goku didn't do such in the show, so that'd why I feel it's just not lining up right that he can just pop into the form as with his others.

But that whole thing about going God with Super Saiyan on top of it feels off when he'd then never return to the form when its shown abilities that Blue has not replicated as well.  It's more tapping into a finite amount of God then applying SSJ on top of that, I feel, to at least somewhat match its power.

Foot in mouth if next episode explains this all away in a few seconds though, I suppose.

As for the movies being non canon, I'm not sure what you think that means, since it's not like there's any relevant difference (just the details of how Gohan fought Freeza's army but that's really not relevant to anything). Something that was said in the movie but not said in the series doesn't have to be suddenly false unless it's directly contradicted.
Edit to your edit.  So soft canon, basically.  I'm not opposed to soft canon, as far as I'm concerned Goku's movepool contains the Dragon Fist.  But BoG's God form was pretty different than Super's, and RoF's Blue was not as over the top of Super's God.  I dunno, it feels on terms of power scales Blue's kind of retconned to be less destructive than God in the show, where-as the movies it was a direct line of power increase.

Goku using SSjG (or red i guess) does throw out the whole "he was holding back while in SSJB" argument that everybody was using throughout the arc thus far. If he had access to this form the entire time then bursting into blue should of been unnecessary as, at least according to how it's used in the manga, red gives him his God ki control along with a healthy boost in power while not using as much stamina as Blue.

I have not seen him making any dumb decision, the only "dumb" decision he has made is sparring witht he other saiyans, and I don't think that's dumb considering he wants to save stamina while still measuring the other guys' power; remember that whole thing about bit being really difficult to measure the power of people from other universes?

nah, blue uses more stamina that god and is stronger, there is also the point that red/god is faster than blue even if it hits weaker.

Post by: Long John Killer on August 19, 2017, 02:35:20 am
Eh.  I don't hate One Piece, but I've significantly lost interest ever since Arlong was a thing.  And like the last crossover, the stupidly large gap in power scales makes it hard to make anything meaningful out of it.  I mean, yeah, it's all just for fun and games, but it nags you in the back of your head.  They're probably going to have to need some sort of collaborative effort to stop some villain, when you know Raditz can just solo their universe.

Sorry if that seems unnecessarily negative, I'm sure fans of both will enjoy it, but...I'd prefer at least being able to pretend the two crossing over are in the same brackets.  Not necessarily in popularity that is, I think One Piece has actually surpassed Dragon Ball in that, which still astounds me, but it's hard to craft a story between an above average guy and a god who play by different universal rules.  It's not quite the same deal as a good Batman/Superman story.

Same Animation Company (Toei), but different Manga Publishers. Dragon Ball was serialized in a Shueisha publication while Sailor Moon was serialized in a Kodansha publication.

That's why Dragon Ball, One Piece and sometimes Toriko had crossovers. Even though Naruto had video game crossovers with Dragon Ball and One Piece (D.O.N) even if Naruto has a different Animation Studio (Pierrot) and Broadcaster (TV Tokyo), as opposed to DB and OP's Fuji TV. They share the same publishers (Shueisha).

However, it's the mangaka and/or the publisher's decision if they will have a crossover.

but it's very easy to make up somethig random to make the universes matched (one piece and dragon ball), and actualyl dragon ball itself does it all the time, from the gag character rules when ti crosses voer with dr slump, to the "very universe has different gravity" shit they are doing right now, which basically means the charcters are realtively evently matched regardless of how well matched would they be if they were fighting in non neutral territory.

Oh look, Goku went SSGod just like that and they outright explained that it consumes less stamina than Blue, and he just goes Blue for one attack at a time (which, surprise surprise, is exactly what the manga did when the anime just decided to bring back super Kaiohken for the hell of it) (it's also probably what this new form will be about, just mixing red and blue). Just like back in the Cell arc when they explained why they needed to train to remain in SSJ in normal time, to get used to it so it wouldn't wear them out.
Dysposable is kinda cool but he's dumb. And so is his little friend. Fucking three times in a row they fell for the same trick !

lol, the energy rope guy sounds like Shun from Saint Seiya with his impregnable defense. And LOL at Goku's "fuck it, just plow through it lol" solution.

Well...that kind of sucked.  I was rather hoping for something better than just going back to red.  Oh well.

At least the fight and visuals for this episode were good.  After the Super Saiyan sisters showed worry for Hit, and the other universe's angel remarked on how he likely was filling the role of moral support for the team as well, would have thought they'd cut to everyone remaining also worrying for Hit.  Eh, guess they were busy.

Yeah damn good Episode this week for sure.  Dyspo vs Hit was amazing seeing Hit at his weakest for the first time not even Goku was able to do that to him kick his ass as he used his Time Skip. Hit adjusting and figuring how to survive the dude's onslaught was wonderful to see and it shows how tough a fighter he is even it looks grim for him. I knew that Kunshi was an average fighter relying on those Energy Webs more so of a  Defense rather than a true Offense and he paid giving up his body so Dyspo can go on, but dude is cooked too if he fights Goku or Hit again.  I like how Goku tapped into SS Blue and went back in SS God shows that he's starting to take things seriously. Toppo saying no more games time to get real, yeah another inconsistent remark from Toppo especially after what he did weeks ago wanting Justice for those stupid ass girls to do their transformation. I can't wait for that fool to go down and to see Jiren finally work because he'll be all alone then.

Next Week Roshi based Episode and he's going to see alot of TNA and we see if he survives. I'm not really sure why they are doing a Roshi based Episode, they could of plugged in these fights for him somewhere early in the tourney. I wouldn't be shocked to see Roshi get eliminated here and get at least one elimination like Krillin did.

Post by: Long John Killer on August 27, 2017, 08:55:43 pm
Actually, they've been equally downplaying the Zenoes compared to fans hyping him recently, it seems.  For all this apparent unstoppable power, they can't keep up with comparatively slower speeds to follow what the combatants have been doing.  And more recently, they've been shown to be pretty bad at simple counting.

Not that the whole evil Grand Priest thing is concrete, but I can totally see the whole approach of Zeno just being a tool and figurehead for him the more we see Zeno being just a child with a special power.

Anyways, been a while since we've seen Goku getting emotional.  The whole first combatant scene for Roshi didn't really gel, though.  I get it was supposed to be about him moving on from being such a big old pervert...but it just came across as kinda rape-y?  Push him too far and he's not responsible for what he does, all that.  Rest of the episode was ok, though.

Also, is it just me, or did it feel like these three matched up to Roshi give a more Dragon Quest vibe than Dragon Ball?

In the same way that we have a Super Sentai universe, a magical girl universe etc.
About the Zen'ohs, they have the power of creation and erasure over all the universes. It doesn't mean they need to be fast - or even to know how to count. It just means they can throw a tantrum and the universe is gone, which is what Beerus and everyone have repeatedly warned Goku about. There's still no sign that the priest's team have any influence over him, so far it just looks to me like they don't give a shit. They barely even seem to talk to him at all, they just follow his orders, they haven't been seen taking any action or decision on their own. (which would probably be a reason why they're not in any risk of getting hit by Zen'oh's tantrums)

Quite simply, there's a child with absolute power who created a bunch of universes, and sometimes he wipes them out and creates others. Some priest has decided to take care of the child, and no sort of power or influence matter because the universes the child created might vanish in a blink at any time, so there's no point in the priest even trying to take any sort of control over anything. They're just going on with their own life, with no concern or care for any of the ephemeral universes.

zeno is still like the most powerful being in all of anime, so they still have to respect him whether he can count or not. it was a good ass episode though, was sad for a few secs when roshi collapsed lol.

Specifically these three, I mean, the whole universe wasn't giving me this vibe.  I presumed there was some underlying reason, chalked it up to Roshi being an important character in original Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest was big and new around the same time.

I can't really argue with your reasoning, it's pretty sound, it's just a nagging feeling there has to be something more going on.  I'm just saying, I would not be surprised when Zeno is backstabbed for doing something not quite parallel to the Grand Priests not yet revealed planned to do with these universes still around, or something to that extent.

Or maybe that's just what I'd like to happen, anyways.  Zeno's quite boring as is.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 27, 2017, 09:39:56 pm

I don't really see how you could backstab someone who has absolute authority over creation and destruction of all the universes. We don't know if Zen'oh can die or be harmed in any meaningful way, if he can be affected by the power of the gods of destruction or anything, if it's possible to completely delete his mind and powers (and before he does that to you), and anything you do that he doesn't like would mean your immediate erasure. Zamasu couldn't stop him from wiping out the alternate future, and we've seen him wipe the floor with the Blue brothers - not their fusion though, but then he took over the fabric of the universe or whatever, and he knew that it still wasn't enough.
That being said, now that there are two Zen'ohs with the same powers, their interaction could make those questions more relevant (if one of them pisses off the other, how do they solve that), but so far it doesn't look like they care about it, it feels like they gave him a friend that's his equal just so he can learn what friendship really is rather than having everyone fear you for your powers. Since that's how Goku approached him in the first place, being friendly and not fearing his power.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 27, 2017, 09:48:39 pm
You don't have to sell me on Zeno being powerful, I'm not arguing that.  But the story can be whatever they want it to be; prior to Super in general, Majin Buu was an unstoppable god eater.  Now he's cannon fodder.  He was also designed for that purpose, now he's just been around since forever but whatever, I guess he's also canon fodder.  Retcons are annoying sometimes.  Ignoring power levels, which they've done a good job of anyways this series, it seems a viable possibility.  It's not like we know exactly what the angels can exactly do, anyways.

Similar to the past discussion on Super Saiyan God to Blue, I'm not opposed to being wrong, but at this time it doesn't feel quite right.  Unlike that, though, I suppose this tournament is going to go on for a while longer, so it's going to be some time before a resolution to whether this theory has any weight to it or not.

Yeah I really loved Episdoe 105 with Roshi taking out three opponents in the battle of all battles. He outsmarted them all and damn that last Kame wave using up all his energy to get that last elimination. I was coming to tears seeing Roshi about to die, yeah I know he was going to come back, but I didn't expect any of this to happen. I thought it was going to be a Comedy Episode and I got a good Episode with good action and suspense. If theirs a negative with this Episode once again Goku playing around, getting held and then all of a sudden be able to break out going to Blue for real.

Post by: Byakko on October 08, 2017, 07:59:54 pm
About fostering someone stronger than a GoD ? Doesn't sound too much of a secret plan to me.

TBH I was really disappointed. It's just right back to power levels with Jiren being, as always, on a level far greater, with all the cliché lines like "dude is just way strong", and Goku needs a new form to reach his level. They've been trying hard for most of the tournament so far to completely turn that over the head, but the fight itself was just a big cliché - the parallel with the Freeza fight was too strong with Freeza himself commenting on it.
The explanation itself was the conclusion of what Whis has been trying to teach Goku and Vegeta for a long time, and that was good, giving Goku a brand new way of moving and fighting was nice, but the planning and execution of the fight was just "same shit different day". The monologue about Goku reaching a new state and breaking a barrier was so bland and not actually explaining anything, just "he broke through another barrier", the writing was just bad when it should have been a pivotal explanation.
That's after they've hyped Jiren so much and made him out to be "so cool doesn't even need to lift a finger" for so long for such a bad pay off, and literally staring the Genkidama away was so ridiculously terrible.
I'll just look forward to the manga actually making it make sense and phrasing the explanation much more comprehensively, as usual.

Hit vs Jiren should be a lot more interesting, Hit looks like he can actually bring something interesting to this fight.

It seems to be about averages rather than the power level of a single person. I don't think the other remaining universes are safe because they already have multiple people on the level of a God of Destruction, it would make the rank of God of Destruction pointless in the first place.

Post by: Long John Killer on October 09, 2017, 12:10:18 am
Eh.  I dunno what I was hoping for to be better, but I was hoping for it.  Hyping these episodes prior probably didn't help.  So Goku mixed the Android 13 movie with the Battle of Gods movie and achieved Bankai, fine.  I'm still not sold on Jiren being interesting, because they've still not given much to be interested about, lacking a background to his character, and this didn't do much other than place him in a power level bracket that we already assumed.  Better than Beerus, around this new SSJ form, would probably lose to Goku, if they didn't reintroduce the time limit thing.

Funny that Hit also didn't captivate me either, so maybe this next episode will do something good for the both of them.  It would be a nice twist if this fight with Goku tired Jiren out enough to be taken out by Hit, actually making use of that assassin title and getting the job done.  Would probably set up for a nicer reencounter between Goku and Jiren later down the line if we're outside this tournament, rather than they fight again in this same arc.

The end shot with Frieza is way too deliberately trying to deceive you.  He's totally going to give Goku energy like Goku did for him in Namek, all the more so seeing he helped with the Spirit Bomb.

so is universe 7 safe from being deleted? since goku attained a higher plain of existence that should give them points and elevate universe 7's status. so it's ok for them to lose now?
It seems to be about averages rather than the power level of a single person. I don't think the other remaining universes are safe because they already have multiple people on the level of a God of Destruction, it would make the rank of God of Destruction pointless in the first place.
While you're totally right as the situation is now, the Zenos now having a track record of breaking their own rules, Goku being the protagonist and this being an unusual occurrence that got the attention of all the universes, it's probably not too far fetched that might play into something down the line for Universe 7 and 11 with Jiren being exposed as being a similar...well, being.  Should someone else like Universe 6 win, and we don't get the whole "everyone gets to live" outcome, that is.

the ending with freeza isn't trying to be tricky, he blatantly calls back to the moment where goku is giving him energy and you can see him all healed up in the next episode. freeza looks evil to the core yes but it's not hiding the fact that freeza is in fact healing him

it's probably not too far fetched that might play into something down the line for Universe 7 and 11 with Jiren being exposed as being a similar...well, being.  Should someone else like Universe 8 win, and we don't get the whole "everyone gets to live" outcome, that is.
Oh, I see. Well, I think it would be a shame, the Sentai universe isn't interesting enough to warrant a free pass together with Goku. (and I figure the final winning universe in that scenario would be U6 just because it's the one we're most attached to at this point, so plot armor)

Agreed on how Jiren should have gotten more development sooner to appear at least a bit interesting. Even Toppo is a more interesting character at this point.

Quote
Funny that Hit also didn't captivate me either, so maybe this next episode will do something good for the both of them.  It would be a nice twist if this fight with Goku tired Jiren out enough to be taken out by Hit, actually making use of that assassin title and getting the job done.
That's what made me think the Hit/Jiren fight should be interesting. But realistically speaking, there's no way the fight will have a significant effect on Jiren, Hit is totally going to be more fodder for Jiren while actually forcing him to get a tiny bit of development (and it still won't be enough to make him interesting) before Goku gets a rematch. Before this fight, I'd have thought Hit would have a serious chance seeing the other fights disregarding all power levels discussions, but with how the Jiren/Goku fight went, I lost most of my hope on that.

the ending with freeza isn't trying to be tricky, he blatantly calls back to the moment where goku is giving him energy and you can see him all healed up in the next episode.
I second that. I'm not even getting where they're going with Freeza, they made several fake-outs on a betrayal, but thematically, it fits with his original fight. It's just that it doesn't make sense for him because they don't want to tell us what his end game actually is (but it's just hard to see anything else than making U7 win at this point even though they're trying to make us think otherwise).

If I'm understanding the Frieza fight with Jimeze correctly, which I may be mistaken given it's just the way it was animated, but it appears to me they're going the "fighting genius" route that Goku has and he's picking up talents from other fighters just by watching them to eventually stage his own coup upon the Zenos and other gods in general.  Seeing it seems Frieza has picked up Instant Transmition, just...somehow.  So perhaps after another Jiren/Goku fight, he'll pick up this hyper sensitivity the two now possess, especially as it's a mental thing and we've previously focused on Frieza's mental training in Hell to perfect his Golden Form.

So yes, eventual and inevitable betrayal, curse it, but not until everyone's done their signature move and we're near the end.  Heck, maybe he'll kill of Jiren as the sudden twist to start his plan.  At least, that's my wild guess if we ever get any sort of inkling that he could resist being deleted by the Zenos, but that's not a possibility just yet.

Oh, uh. That would actually make sense for his arc and for the whole point of Jiren, if Jiren wasn't supposed to be the big final threat he's been presented as.
I don't see how a betrayal would work in the tournament though. Even resisting deletion would be way too much of a gamble for him (never mind that Zeno has been presented as the absolute authority and there's no hint that resisting deletion could ever become a thing)
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on October 09, 2017, 01:05:22 am
I could imagine him up to taking such a gamble, seeing he played with his life trying to blow up Namek, plus this new-found confidence with his new form and plan to become even bigger than the god of gods, the reward being worth the risk, but at this point it's certainly not definitive that's where the story is going.  Just a hunch.

I mean heck, we could go through all this, and then he gets deleted anyways just to throw you off for thinking that's where the story was going, and then we resume the tournament.  Though I don't know about that personally, that's bound to anger a handful too many fans, the prospect that Frieza is gone permanently from all future Dragon Ball endeavors, especially after building him up as the penultimate villain out of the Dragon Ball Z part of the story returning.

Though then again, I'm still incredibly skeptical about that deletion even being real.  If for no other reason than just too much effort building up these other universes to then never revisit them.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on October 09, 2017, 01:35:28 am
I actually feel that the other universes were made to be deletion fodder at this point. To show us the power of the gods, a concept introduced with Beerus. There just hasn't been much effort put into the universes, just an attempt at giving some variety to the races and power for the tournament. When they were first introduced at the end of bog, and when the survival arc talked about going through the universes, we all got excited about some sort of GT like journey, but they all turned out to be super boring beyond the whole "token magical girl, token super sentai, token dragon quest" representatives.
Meanwhile, the powers of the gods has been pushed a lot - destruction, zeno nonchalantly discussing reducing the number of universes, authority over existence this and time travel that...
After all, the entire concept of Super started with giving us a new definition of "actual  god power" beyond the shitty Kais that we had until then (Shin being introduced as a "god" that ruled above Kami and King Kai, yet was already dumbfounded at the strength of Saiyans)
With Goku's trajectory, Super just feels like a showcase of how to reach "legit godhood" - and maybe what responsibilities come with that (they brought up the jobs of the GoDs and Zeno a few times)

Yeah, MasakoX just had this theory video on the whole Spirit Bomb thing, but I agree that that's just way too over analyzed.



It was a big explosion.  It had a possible chance of leaking out onto the spectators.  The gods are powerful enough to take care of themselves and not even worry about it, but it is the Grand Priest's job specifically to make sure nothing happens to displeasure the Zenos at all, so he's just being overprotective.  Rather that than a speck of Spirit Bomb stings one of them, and they delete everyone in childish rage.

Post by: Byakko on October 15, 2017, 04:02:38 am
I'm annoyed that Jiren decided to just sit there because there's no one left that can only be taken out by him, it only means that they didn't understand the rules. Even if no one can defeat Jiren, if Toppo and Dyspo are taken out and Jiren is the last one left in his universe, and another has at least 2 that can survive and escape him, he still loses. It doesn't matter that he can't be defeated, that's the whole point of this tournament, what we were sold since the start.
I mean, it's definitely not going to happen and you know Goku will take him out by achieving his new form once more, but it's just... more bad writing, it's stupid and it's not bothering to care about its own rules. All it does is make him look like a fucking idiot.

That being said, Hit's character was well rounded, it was made clear that he knows exactly what he's doing, what his role is, his own abilities, he's a real team player despite being a lone assassin and he does understand the rules. Good for him. He deserves a cookie up on the loser's bench.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on October 15, 2017, 04:14:24 am
Power scaling has been pretty much disregarded until Jiren this series, especially since the Blue form's introduction being all about using any level of power instantly, but even considering my previous theory about Jiren taking enough damage from Goku to even things out for Hit, it feels odd Hit did as well as he did this episode, ignoring the Time-Skip ability.  Meaning, it's odd he could even catch Jiren off guard and trade blows to the extent he did.  Eh, at least we know Jiren can't do everything easily.

So now Universe 2 is getting more screen time in than expected.  They're putting more work than I was expecting into a parody if it is a one-off deal with deletion at the end of all this.  Also Frieza was listening in to Whis talking about Ultra Instinct.  Which one, wow, Frieza has better hearing that Piccolo at that range and with everything going on.  But two, this further leads me to believe Frieza's looking to get any information he can, if not straight-up learning some new techniques.  Which now leads me to guess that Frieza's going to be some part of a catalyst to reignite Goku's Ultra Instinct, so he can take on Jiren for Frieza, where Frieza will then clean up what's left.  Which may or may not lead to Jiren's death, depending on if the tournament is still a thing by that point.

Also he hasn't completely won me over, but this was good for some character development for Hit.  I like him a bit more, now that we know more about his true character.  Did what he had to do, even though it wasn't enough.

Post by: Koop on October 15, 2017, 05:30:47 am
No donuts were made. He should have forsaken his pride and got the Saiyans to blast Jiren out of the ring. :(

Well Hit was eliminated by overwhelming power and didn't go out like a chump. Universe 6 kinda still have a powerhouse so I wonder if anything will happen from that.

Him just meditating afterwards is very bold but there isn't anyone who has shown anything that Toppo and Dyspo can't beat besides Goku's Musou Tensei :P

Goku's getting just as friendly with Freeza as he always does with everyone, and Freeza doesn't seem to mind anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about where this is going. Vegeta kept his pissy attitude but turned into the Worf Effect incarnate, Piccolo became a daddy to Gohan and then fused with Nail and God, I just don't see what Freeza could do.
Oh, but it's nice that Vegeta is the one fighting Toppo in the mean time. Make him useful - hopefully it will actually go somewhere.

I'd like to see Vegeta's take on Toppo, what he thinks of his level and what he can do to him - I'd like to see Vegeta actually putting Toppo in big trouble at the very least, if not outright beat him (it'd be really annoying if Goku did that too and the only other option is Toppo doesn't lose at all which would be boring). I'd be okay with seeing Gogeta again, but it's a bit late to do that and still have Goku achieve his new form again. I don't expect to see that moved to Gogeta to finish mister Too-Cool-To-Move.

He only said that no one was worth his time so he left to sleep "meditate". He just flinches when someone has a huge burst of power, but it's still not good enough for him, like "maybe I'll have to move my ass again ? .... Naaaaah who cares." There's no indication that he lied and is actually too tired to move.
At this point I really hope LJK's idea about Freeza finishing off Jiren gains more ground, that would be fun, because Jiren is just an awful character and Freeza really seems to be moving somewhere.

seems like vegeta was knocked out away from toppo and probably will head to goku's location next episode.

yeah i was expecting jiren would be like nemesis hunting down strong opponents in the whole tournament. goku and co. would just run away from him until they gain the number's advantage or a multiverse team up against that bald fucker. he's probably the worst character in the whole franchise worse than bojack.

Why is it when someone doesn't a element apart of a Show, they tell you stop watching? That's our right to like or dislike something about the show that makes it great to watch the show in the first place. Yeah I don't like how the Tournament has been handled lately, and it goes back to people talking shit to 17 for stopping Brianne Sailor Moon Transformation and Toppo of all guys who said this is about the sake of the world, turning into a Marshmallow and talking shit to him as well. I mean at this rate the ladies are going to SSJ3 next week, you don't have Goku show them the transformation and not let it come into play for them to match up the best they can with Goku.  It won't be enough to beat Goku and he'll get rid of them or something happens that gets them eliminated. The ladies are careless and arrogant and that's their flaw and their going to bite more than they can chew.

I agree with that man. Also the girls are getting some development for some screentime with these transformations. Even if Goku shows them the transformation or not, the creators will give them a reason for that. People were upset about Hit doing less in the tournament but, Hit got his screentime when the U7 VS U6 Tournament took place. Things aren't done like they did with Z. We can't enjoy if we just complain. The creators have the right to do whatever they want. We can't sit and act like we know better. Even so, they won't care.

Heck, back in Dragon Ball you have Krillin and Roshi in his Jackie Chun disguise demonstrating they can not just move ridiculously fast, but talk and hold a conversation faster than should be physically possible.  The 5 minutes in Frieza time we're experiencing with the tournament here isn't anything new.

Should probably be longer, actually, but lets presume they take their breaks in real time, yeah?

Well that was intense. I like Kefla's techniques, the way she handles multiple projectiles in one form is a bit more original than usual.
Vegeta needs to make himself useful. Goku couldn't go Blue because he needed to catch his breath again, but Vegeta has been Blue the whole time and he's gotten nowhere with it, I'll be mad if Vegeta can't even take out Toppo. And then Freeza is still around just watching, there's no way U7 can lose because numbers. Unless Toppo actually takes out Vegeta and Goku still loses to Jiren, but they wouldn't go that far, Jiren needs to drop off now with that build up.

I´m not liking this Ultra instinc thing, feels like those powerups that makes no sense, i would understand if was just a POWERUP for strenght and speed but being "Untouchable" out of nowhere. Oh welp, it´s dragon ball so...

I just hope the transformation doesn´t overtake too much, like it seems to have a very short time limit and a really extreme trigger condition so i guess it´s kinda fair?

Ultra instinct is def strange kinda hard to understand, like they just saying it's a technique but it obviously looks like some type of power up as well, I wish they explained it a bit better.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on November 12, 2017, 05:18:22 am
They already explained it, it's a state of mind where the body reacts by itself to anything that comes close without the user having to think about the most efficient evasion. It's in the name, ultimate instinct, natural reaction from the body. I'm assuming it shows up as a new form with a new hairdo and silver eyes because it's just what we're used to and it's Dragon Ball's trademark, I'm not reading anything into this "new transformation". In the first place, SSJGod was nothing more than Goku changing the way his ki flows, and somehow it happened to turn his hair and eyes red and we called that a new form. shouldn't that be just as strange ?

They're also hinting that it's a state of mind that anyone can reach in theory, it's not a Saiyan-specific transformation, it's more like god ki which anyone can also attain in theory. Like, anyone can turn their ki into something like what the gods of destruction do and they'll reach god level, and for Saiyans, it gives the Super Saiyan God form. And Jiren already has that new state of mind, that's why he's above the gods of destruction who aren't quite permanently there yet.

Hmm more bullshit it seems with Goku getting Molly wopped by Kefla, need to go to Blue then Kaioken with the Blue mod attached to his power. Yeah you already have stamina problems Goku and using that for even a moment is going to come back to bite you. When this is all over I can see Goku being the Hospital for months due is pushing himself way too much and expecting to be at the end. Did anyone chuckle when Goku said I fear that something bad might happen if he doesn't take this fight seriously lol. Before this fight and Jiren, Goku hasn't been taken this tourney seriously. Even if when you hold back your power, take it seriously something he inconsistently has problems with in Super especially. I swear Kefla is the female version of Gotenks, she powerful, but very arrogant thinking she has a chance to beat Goku. I guess Goku is the Buu that is going to put her in her place in the end and I look forward to her elimination. Now with Goku seemly going for the final stage theirs no doubt in my mind Kefla is going SSJ3 and use it for a short time then get eliminated eventually.

It saddens me Toppo vs Vegeta is not getting enough shine as is the Gohan/Piccolo vs Universe 6 Namekians. I don't like Vegeta dropping his guard that's not something he does, and man it's pretty cool to see two teams who seemly fought dozens of battles with showing their chemistry in this tourney. 17 seems so bored right now just helping his Sister with his hands in his Pockets he needs a true challenge and no one is around to give to him.

i think it's already too late , there's too many transformations now. what's the point of kaioken+blue then it's not even perfected yet or been really useful and we have another transformation. would it kill them if they wait a proper time and build to introduce another transformation? what's next? super saiyan ultra intinct kaioken super saiyan god?

they should've focused on the two female saiyans first if they want to stretch the story make them likable, move away from goku for a few episode focus on different characers, gohan is there after his long awaited come back his back to the sidelines again so does the humans and vegeta. the whole super arc has been goku goku trunks goku.  and here i thought they're gonna do something with vegeta even toriyama said so during the hype for Resurrection of f movie and when this series was still on the works.

Goku is technically in base form,just because he can dodge everything shouldn’t mean he also has physical strength to give Jiren a tough fight,I think I’m overthinking,It’s probably sth like Gohan’s Mystic Form,Fuck,point is I can’t wait to see manga do a better job than anime

They should have defused.


Not at all, the only reason why Vegetto defused was because he really was TOO STRONG, Super Saiyan Blue Vegetto in the manga was mentioned (While charging his Final Kamehameha) he was at Beerus Level, this is too much power really.

If Kefla DID reach SSJ3 then guess would make sense the fusion ended soon because she was already stronger (apparently) than SSJB Goku while just using her Legendary SSJ2, and besides the SSJ3 does have more drain than other SSJ Form.

It wasn't exactly his fight or his power range to do much this fight with Kefla...?

But yeah, upcoming stuff, would be nice if he actually pulled together as a team leader and started getting some teamwork going on beyond being attached to Piccolo.  I figured they would be the ones to ring out the universe 6 Namekians, but now with them being all that's left for the other universe we're supposed to care for, I'm not so sure they're going to place the blame on Gohan and Piccolo for taking them out.  Maybe Frieza will get nostalgic for taking out Namekians, so the evil deed will fall onto the one that we know still has evil plans unfulfilled yet.

The problem is that this tournament has been going, what, over 30 minutes?  And Goku has over exerted himself how many times?  There's no sense of urgency, as all Goku has to do is dig deep...multiple times.  He just can't lose.  This arc is becoming incredibly stupid, even for Dragon Ball.

I find it hilarious how the 3 U2 guys gave us a better understanding of their "power of love" actually powering them up into a transformation than Ribrianne ever did with all her shit talk.
Gohan's fight was pretty damn good too.
"I'm in a bad mood" => "hey, if you stick around a bit, maybe Vegeta will someday pull his head out of his ass and actually do shit !" (and then the preview shows us that it's not going to happen)

Re: Goku's "acclimation through exposure to push his limits back" actually that's basically what he's always done, like back when he said he and Gohan should remain in SSJ form in their everyday life to get used to it. It makes sense.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Omega on December 03, 2017, 11:27:00 am
It's because there are no real connections made between The Episodes. Remember when Akira Toriyama was going all out for a Dragonball series based on Gohan back in the days. Like making him the first super saiyan on namek and end the series. Then we got Cell Saga with Gohan becoming SSJ 2. It didn't even stop there as fans disliked Goku's dead. So Goku came back with The Buu Saga. I know Dragonball Super isn't much like Akira Toriyama's work like Dragonball and Dragonball Z, but maybe that "make Gohan the strongest and end the series" idea could work here. It's all Goku indeed. Atleast Gohan was shining in Z with power ups and more. Dragonball Super needs something like that.

Other than that, I enjoyed the battle between The Universe 6 Nameks vs Gohan and Piccolo.

You would not be alone in that thought.  Super really comes across that they dumbed down the character's few shining personality traits.  Presumably to thus make the rest of the cast shine even more when compared to the star, but that's just my guess.  While no one should be expecting anything genius to be spoken out of Goku's mouth unless it's something to do with a fight going on, his IQ in general just seems to have dropped.  While he never set out to be any sort of super hero, he did have a proper sense of right and wrong, whilst now it really is more tied to wanting to challenge himself and to hell with the others, unless it directly impacts him.  Not at all resembling him trying to set up Earth's protection for the future with Gohan via Cell, in case of Goku's absence.  Or even just freaking leaving with Uub, to right the wrongs that Buu caused in his new incarnation.  Neither exactly perfect plans, but well-intentioned ones that you would expect from someone of Goku's mindset.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on December 03, 2017, 10:56:07 pm
About the massive Namek fusion that people keep comparing to DBM
It's not like it was hard to imagine ever since Nail taught it to Piccolo on Namek. It's just that 1) Namekians were generally just farmers and only Nail was available so back on Namek there weren't a lot of Namekians ready to do it, 2) after that it was only just Piccolo and Kami, and then Namek (and Piccolo too) basically faded out of the story (beside picking up Dende and making a couple wishes) so there wasn't much of a reason to go back to the whole race.
But the idea was there since Nail, and it was pretty obvious so it was always chalked up to a massive wasted opportunity, but only because that's just how Toriyama tends to write his stories (just come up with it as he draws it and then forget everything else he didn't get to use).
The only big surprise is that someone actually remembered that Namekians existed at all, and U6 as a mirror universe had a whole planet that we didn't need to care about (unlike the individual Namekians from U7 that we did meet) so they could finally roll with it and just say "two of them ate everyone else until they were strong enough", especially considering the giant gap that any Namekian needed to jump to be even relevant (which is exactly what DBM did too - and DBM had the bonus good sense of also showing yet another version of Namekians being too weak and having to drop out).
As with everything else about DBS, I'm just curious how the manga will introduce it and how much of it is Toriyama or Toei.

While no one should be expecting anything genius to be spoken out of Goku's mouth unless it's something to do with a fight going on, his IQ in general just seems to have dropped.  While he never set out to be any sort of super hero, he did have a proper sense of right and wrong, whilst now it really is more tied to wanting to challenge himself and to hell with the others, unless it directly impacts him.
To be fair, at this point he's literally the strongest in his own universe so he has nothing to worry about (and he does expect to just win so as long as he has the Super Dragon Ball and he can talk it out with Zen'oh, you just know it'll end just fine). Regarding his attitude toward Zen'oh's ability to erase entire universes and everyone inside it - I say it often enough, but remember that this is the anime. The manga does give a slightly different take on his reactions and how he reacts to Zen'oh's own nonchalance about it.
Other than that, we haven't actually seen anyone directly threaten him or his family, just someone telling him "if you lose, I'll erase everything" to which he obviously responds "well I just have to win then". And that's exactly what he did with Cell (until he himself couldn't win, but then he knew Gohan would so he sacrificed himself for that). It's really not as different as everyone is complaining about. Compare the Vegeta and Freeza fights to Cell.
The only notable legit difference that Toriyama himself brought up as something he straight up wanted to do is that Goku is after all a pure blooded Saiyan who really follows his instinct of being the strongest, back when we were talking about how Vegeta actually became a much better Earth dad than Goku ever was. Goku doesn't actually "love" his family specifically and doesn't feel love for others the way you would expect from some random hero - that's a trait that Toriyama actually wanted to bring up in him. After that, it's just Toei Flanderizing that on the fly.
But other than that, I still completely consider that if someone was actually directly attacking Earth and threatening to kill everyone, Goku would still act as a defender of the innocent. It's just that he's literally on the level of gods, so there isn't really anyone who could actually get him there. (I'd almost say that he himself is looking forward to meeting new, bigger threats to make him really serious and afraid, but that's not really how he thinks, he gets excited, not afraid, his catchphrase has literally been "I'm excited" since ever)
But maybe we'll see about that if Freeza manages to pull whatever he has in mind...
Just think of it that way - last time he really needed to get angry, it took Krillin getting blowed up. Nothing after that was much of an issue in his eyes.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on December 03, 2017, 11:34:12 pm
Yeah yeah, I know, the manga did it different.  Sometimes for the better, which is appreciated.  It still happened in the anime though, and leaves a weird aftertaste that's probably going to last until the series ends.

I'd agree, I don't see if, like, some Dragon Ball equivalent of a Death Star or Darkseid or whatever comes wanting to straight-up attack Earth, Goku sitting it out even with the changes Super's done.  But its his motivations that feel wrong now, and until this tournament is over and we see the end result, it doesn't sit well.

The only notable legit difference that Toriyama himself brought up as something he straight up wanted to do is that Goku is after all a pure blooded Saiyan who really follows his instinct of being the strongest, back when we were talking about how Vegeta actually became a much better Earth dad than Goku ever was. Goku doesn't actually "love" his family specifically and doesn't feel love for others the way you would expect from some random hero - that's a trait that Toriyama actually wanted to bring up in him. After that, it's just Toei Flanderizing that on the fly.
I don't think I'm ever going to ever get over that bit.  Like, what the hell?  It's fine to showcase Vegeta really seriously turning into a good guy, but bringing down Goku like that?  The guy clearly stays with his family unless it was something dire. (Like Majin Buu's reincarnation coming back and needing a mentor.  Plus he can IT across the planet to see them, it's not like some permanent exile)  He has kids and shows them affection.  Even then getting into Super, we had Black taunting Goku about killing his loved ones, and what a surprise, he had an appropriate response to Black.  The guy clearly loves his family.

I love this series and all but Toriyama just hurts my head sometimes.

anyone else wonder why gokus voice sounds monsterous sometimes when hes in ultra instinct?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: ShinZankuro on December 08, 2017, 04:59:58 pm
It's a ominous effect which was pretty normal in the classic japanese dub of Z.

It's a roar behind the character voice screaming.

Even Tienshinhan with his Shin Kikoho against Cell has expurged that "dragon scream".

The best example of that sound effect is absolutely the SSJ2 transformation of Teen Gohan in japanese dub. Or the SSJ3 transformation during the Janemba movie, also in japanese.

EDIT: It seems they finally figured how to recreate the sound effect like the old times. SSJ Goku against Beerus in space has showed that too in japanese Super.

Looks like an older Supreme Kai of Time.

...Except if as I recall correctly from the Xenoverse games, she is "old", she just doesn't age or just has a small body type.  So I dunno, maybe it's her transformation or something.  Maybe a relative, or at least same species.

Post by: Long John Killer on December 15, 2017, 02:50:19 am
They did?  I had imagined they would intentionally go out of there way to keep them separate, given the game's attachment to the past while Super's concentrating on new stories.  Also, Future Trunks.  The games went with the Z version of him, while the show went with a new version.  Yet it's technecally the same variant of the character from the same timeline, but each one are very different.  Heck, the Xenoverse one kept the purple hair color, while Super's went with the quazi-retconned/restored blue hair. (That I personally still think just looks terrible on him.  Purple just feels right)

I'd have to imagine the games, while introducing her, would be required to be non-canon to Super, then?  Or soft canon, keep the area and world building, retcon anything story related that would impede the show's story that originated in the games.  And then, like, Xenoverse 3 could hand-wave it aside as it's a parallel timeline to their own dimension or something.  I mean, weirder things have happened in the Xenoverse games.  The finale to the first one revealed that Goku can Instant Transmission between timelines, going from end of Battle of Gods to Toki Toki City.  That makes, like, no sense, and makes Trunks' time machine all but useless.

xenoverse has 3 version of future trunks. the z purple hair , the time patroller and the blue hair scarfed one.

dunno if it's a character in xenoverse but i don't follow heroes so i don't know much about their current story i just know they are fighting dabura/towa's race in heroes. so probably the new character is from a demon race. we don't know if the new character is tied to the current arc of super or will be a future character after TOP.

but my guess is it's probably belmod's true form. or someone who is related to belmod that will be introduced in the future after the TOP ends.

I like how this new baddie for this week's episode was for all intents and purposes just a fanservice fusion between Hatchiyack, Janemba and Hirudegarn.

I get why they had 18 drop out, 17 is comparatively much less fleshed out so give him some screentime by himself, but the method of doing it was kinda stupid.  Especially directly following good guy Goku saving 18 from being eaten (Which I guess adds Cell to the fusion) with instant transmission, so...I guess 18 was the only one who noticed him being knocked out of the ring.  Oh well, went better off than the likes of Piccolo or Tien.

Preview for the next episode is of much higher quality than normal.  Would be nice if the whole episode kept to a similar quality.  Guessing Vegeta's not going to make much actual progress against Jiren, but we know he does manage to land at least a good hit on him.  Which already downplays how how hard Jiren was wiping the floor with Blue before, but guess we'll see what's different this time next week.  Vegeta has shown he's better at Blue, but didn't think they'd do another case of him being better at an old form than Goku in a new one. (Like his SSJ2 being better than Goku's SSJ3)

Going from a movie villain episode to recreating the first fight with Perfect Cell fighting Vegeta this week.  All that was missing from the jump from Jiren being beaten of the ground to getting right up in Vegeta's face with no damage was him missing an arm and regrowing it.

S'alright episode.  I can't help but be amused when you can see the moment when they just flip the quality animation switch on.  Nothing really new happened, showing off Vegeta being the boss until the expected last minute heel turn showing off he did nothing of value.  Power scaling continues to hurt, as Dyspo easily solos Frieza now, but at least they're not just calling him light speed but faster than anything?  The preview for the next episode suggests Vegeta getting a new transformation, yet the episode summary posted before doesn't suggest anything of the sort.  And this very episode Vegeta decided "screw you" and got fed up with trying to get Ultra Instinct, going to do things his own way.

Maybe this is their way to tie in mastered Super Saiyan Blue, mixed with him skipping out on another of Goku's forms a la SSJ3?  Or maybe we will be getting an Ultra Instinct Vegeta in the vein of when he first went Super Saiyan by giving up trying to become one.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series

Literally the same beats and lines as the Super Vegeta/Cell fight. It's like they really wanted us to know how badly Vegeta was about to fuck up.
But yeah, the sudden jump in visual quality was crazy.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on January 07, 2018, 04:33:54 am
I'm a little conflicted, because I feel at this point it's wrong to deny Vegeta getting Ultra Instinct.  He's worked for it more, if unwittingly because it wasn't explained to be a new transformation when working with Whis.  And it would follow suit for Vegeta getting the transformation second, then working on it being better than Goku's version.  Arguably, his version of Blue already is better, so working in him getting the mastered form of it here seems unnecessary, plus it'll probably cause even more confusion for the manga down the line.

But at the same time, this whole arc has practically been the Fanservice Arc, handing out new transformations, revelations, references and confirming DBZ theories left and right.  To the point little of it is left to be savored, because we're on to the next thing on a long list of little things.  It feels wrong to just hand over Vegeta the Ultra Instinct form as a trophy for participating in the Jiren fight, when Goku's the one who had all the build-up for it.  And even that's a little iffy, there's no real emotional connection to the form, just blank slate Jiren being a wall for Goku to eventually get over.  Plus the form isn't even fully explained yet.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on January 07, 2018, 04:42:16 am
Seconded, the whole thing came out of nowhere and the tournament felt useless beside showing off different universes and salvaging a few non-canon ideas for kicks. Remember when we expected that the multiple universes reveal meant we would get exploration and not meaningless power levels ? Nope, we get the exact opposite. Blue was an unnecessary power-up from God in the first place, and UI is an unnecessary level-up from Blue, it could all have been merged into a single true God form and it would have been fine - still with some form of "use SSJ while in God" for a bit of variety, but not presented as a new form of its own, maybe call it God Blue if you really need a new color, but make it more obvious it's really the same thing (the SSGSS name was actually better for that, but it was so dumb).

Post by: Long John Killer on January 07, 2018, 05:15:28 am
Not for nothing, Kefla gave us something different.  She did go for the regular massive beam (Two, actually), but it was in conjunction with the rest of the whole desperation move.  She more went for shooting little lasers in every direction instead of focusing on one really large beam in front.  And they avoided the beam struggle in a very neat way.  For all the issues Caulifla, Kale and Kefla each present, they also try to do something different and enjoyable, so I still enjoy them probably the most out of what Super's given thus far. (Also working on making up for Pan helps)  Now if we could just do something about that emotional disconnect to unlocking Saiyan forms for them and get some actual freaking time in Universe 6 to develop these characters.

I gotta agree, though, Blue not just sunk its own hype, it brought down everything the revival of Dragon Ball with Battle of Gods came up with.  Really should have just stuck with the red haired form simply being a Saiyan God, unrelated to the Super Saiyan line.  Then called the Blue form Super Saiyan God, if you even want to throw something on top of that, though it kind of isn't needed any more.  Like Gohan going Super Saiyan after his potential was unlocked.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on January 07, 2018, 05:29:40 am
Yeah, I really liked Kefla's variations, but at the very end it was still one person firing a beam and the other shooting his own beam in the first one's face. They did use UI pretty well to get there, but even they had to come out and say that instinct dodging alone wouldn't get him anywhere so he had to consciously prepare a beam to finish her. So they know that unconsciously dodging punches can't actually win on its own, and until they actually give us something for an attack form of it and they don't just go with "he's stronger now so he hits harder duh", I'm not expecting anything meaningful.

Calling the red form Super Saiyan God was definitely to play off the confusion with the whole idea of the Legendary Super Saiyan (as the legend, I mean), which was funny enough, but they really should have come out and resolved it as God form being a different legend than the Super Saiyan legend. It would have made it easier to insist that any living being is theoretically able to reach God Ki. But I'm not sure it would have changed much, even the Blue form in the F movie was already just power levels and completely ditched the concept of being one with the energy of the universe (which was a really nice loop all the way back to the concept of the Genkidama... a technique of the gods). Even fucking Toriyama joked about it by going back to giving Golden Freeza a new numbered power level with a shitload of zeros.
(also I do suppose that a blue form is easier on the eyes than a permanent red form, actually, I'm not sure seeing Goku and Vegeta all red all the time would be too easy on the eyes, but that's just cosmetics)

There would still be a way to get out of this mess, since they're still repeating that Goku is always looking for power, trying to get stronger - if they had the balls to scold him for that and say that he completely missed the point when *Goku* made the God/Blue forms about power. Jiren might have been doing a bit of that on Vegeta just now (and Goku when saying he's looking for something "beyond power" maybe ?). But you just know there's no way in hell that's what they're setting things up for.

Funny, in my opinion on cosmetics, the blue hair just ruins the look.  You get used to it by now, however long its been since its reveal, but the golden hair just sold the look on Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, whoever used it.  And while we were all expecting some sort of golden SSJ4 Safer Sephiroth Broly fusion look out of Super Saiyan God, the slimed down body, reddish-pink tinted base hair with red colored SSJ3 eyes looked really nice.  Granted, I would not have been against reworking the SSJ4 form then into something golden, but I just happen to also really enjoy SSJ4 and what we got was fine.  But Blue is....just literally Super Saiyan, but blue.

It's like Superman without the red tights; too much blue on the outfit.

/\ This makes the idea of Vegeta having the "Offensive" U.Instinct and Goku having the "Defensive" U.Instinct gain more sense now.

While Goku has a calm, defensive and "zen" minded Ultra Instinct, Vegeta could get a full offensive, extremely focused mind and destructive Ultra Instinct.

And maybe, MAYBE, having a possibility of Vegetto returning to have a final showdown with Jiren in the last minute of the tournament

So remind me, those Destruco Discs that Goku threw around were canonically still unstoppable until this episode, able to cut through anything?  We had them not work on Cell in the anime, of course, but that was handwaved as filler, and they don't insta-kill in the games because, well, duh, it wouldn't be much of a game then.

The specifics of a number of things in this arc alone have been questionable.  I still find everyone damaging the arena, made of a magically reinforced Katchin, the strongest material in all the universes, hilarious.  But this one might be a retcon, so just clarifying.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on January 14, 2018, 06:49:40 pm
canonically still unstoppable until this episode
They still aren't. Remember this is still the anime.
Also technically he only grabbed one, he didn't tank it, there's a difference because grabbing a blade with your bare hand without getting cut is indeed a real thing. Not like that, of course, but it's an anime.
About the arena itself, when it's apparently so easy to destroy, I don't know why no one has dug a hole to pull an enemy through the arena to the bottom and out. I'm pretty sure they already forgot what it was made of anyway.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on January 14, 2018, 06:56:07 pm
Canon is what the author wrote. Toei has always been the one making fillers.
The manga doesn't exactly "follow it to a T" either. For starters, the script they get is apparently not necessarily always detailed (read "the script just says they fight and Goku wins") so at times, both the manga and the anime have to fill in the blanks. And Toyotaro has straight up said that sometimes he takes a bit of inspiration from what the anime did for specific added details (but he doesn't follow that to a T either, most of the time he makes it better), and sometimes he himself also takes some liberty if he thinks he can elaborate on something Toriyama didn't bother talking about - for one, I'm sure Goku trying to learn "Hakai" in the manga is Toyo trying to build up on something that'll come later, but wasn't actually said in the script since Toei completely flew past it. And he's probably free to make his own filler, but given the gap with the anime, he probably shouldn't waste time on that. The only time I remember him doing it is the extra Trunks chapter just before Trunks left, the one where they played video games, and it was for some special festival or whatever that was.
And then of course we don't know to what extent Toyo follows something the anime did that wasn't in the script. For example, the way Zamasu tore up space with a scythe was too weird and random to be straight from Toriyama since that went nowhere, and Toyotaro still used a form of that but a bit less weird (IIRC), but the way Zamasu took over the fabric of the universe led to the decision that this universe was doomed, so it's probably what the script said.

edit - yeah, it's from the Toriyama/Toyotaro interview in volume 4.
Toyotaro explains how sometimes he just has to make the story go from point A to point B, like he just had to get to a point where Goku and Zamasu fight, and he got to make each character relevant (even Gowasu) in the middle to get there however he wanted, he says he goes off script a bit when he does that, he adds extra problems so that Goku doesn't get there in perfect conditions. He gives specific examples of things that were all him, like Trunks having trained under Shin (the healing power), and actually showing red Vegeta. He says the Mafuba part was in the script, but Vegeto wasn't - and also, he had to wait to be told it was OK to do it... Which is weird, it's unclear if he did that before or after the anime did it. Maybe they both take from each other in a writer's chat, if Toei even cares for that ?
Anyway he also says that Toriyama reads Toyotaro's suggestions and makes other changes on top of that, so at this point, if you want a canon, it's definitely not the anime.

Well...damn.  With that little remaining, I don't know if we'll have time to cover things I actually wanted out of this.  Time with the other universes.  A satisfying end to this rivalry with Goku beating Beerus.  Some way to tie this all back to meeting Uub.

I guess if the theories about the end of the tournament being wishing all the dead universes be revived and merged into one hold any weight, then maybe other forms of entertainment can cover the first request, probably get some games with the likes of what was Universe 6 and 11.

Would be sad if this really is the end for Super.  It sure as hell was no Z, not quite original DB or GT either, but it was more Dragon Ball and for its lows it had some highs to enjoy.

Feels good that they acknowledge that, and how they wiped Freeza's army which was the bulk of the strong people across the universe (well, at least Ginyu after training with Freeza would have been decent - although I can't even remember if he died again in Resurrection F).
Poor Yamcha. "if Yamcha wimps out, I'll go grab Chiaozu."

Reading this again, it's pretty clear that there's still a lot of storylines they've started, and it looks like they actually want to go through with some of them. So yeah, I guess the anime hiatus is to find a solution about the death of Bulma's VA. It's just irritating that they dragged the tournament arc for so long with so little actual content and at this point it's clear that it'll have a very boring end, there's so little to expect from the anime for quite a while.

I think it's kinda off topic, but instead of creating a new topic I thought it's would better ask here to the ones who know Dragon Ball really well.
I'd like to know the source of the animation used in this video:

Eh, I didn't think of Toppo being an upcoming replacement God of Destruction beforehand
I'm almost certain they straight up said exactly that like 2 or 3 times. They said he was a future GoD candidate, at least in the mini tournament ? I didn't think it'd end as a transformation though, but I expected that he was still going to show some power of destruction - I just thought he was going to do it like manga Goku (especially since not just the tattoo but the whole form isn't even there for the other actual GoDs). Which begs the question, if the manga keeps pushing through on that bit, will it stay the same as the first time he did it, or will it do something like what Toppo just did.
And yeah, on Freeza, they even pulled a flashback of that very scene for comparison, when they did I thought they were actually going to really address it, and it turns out, nope, it doesn't mean anything, they showed the flashback and then just said "actually you know what, no". Just because. Why did they even bother making either of these two scenes happen at all if it was going to end like that anyway. Toei filler logic, I guess.

this implies the attack has the same force as it did back in the Buu arc.
It most certainly does not. It's just that he's tougher now, the toll from using the same technique with more power isn't as high because he got better. There's really nothing to see there.
Also Toppo wasn't ripped into tiny particles from it so there's no reason to make a comparison between Toppo and Buu from that.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on February 04, 2018, 07:27:51 pm
So then
I guess we're supposed to surmise that the new form has a higher increase into defense than offense, which kinda goes against the theories of this being the offensive counterpoint to Goku's Ultra Instinct.
If the move exerts enough power to kill oneself at the time it was first done, and its power increased to in conjunction to the level of the person who has grown since that time, then the same end result should be the outcome.  So if nothing else, this new form of his does provide additional defenses that overcome the output of his move, unlike previous forms.

And Toppo wasn't torn to bits, sure, but he also was knocked out of his new form.  But...you have a point on Toppo's durability, Buu also actively doesn't try to stay on the defense and block attacks, because he can just reform as if they didn't effect him.  When he does try to block the brunt of an attack, we get Vegito making a fool out of Super Buu.

So I dunno, maybe I am looking too deep into it, but it still feels off.  Just add it to the list of things this arc's presented.

The "super strong move that could kill me if I use it" being demoted to a regular attack as the fighter becomes stronger has been a DB staple since forever. Master Roshi lost his shit when Ten used the kikoho because it could shorten his lifespan or kill him. This was about 2/3 into the original DB, fast forward to DBZ's Cell saga and Ten uses it like it's going out of style.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on February 04, 2018, 08:11:26 pm
then the same end result should be the outcome.
No ? There's no particular correlation between the power used and his ability to stay alive after expending that power.
It doesn't even say that being Blue is what allowed him to survive, IINM Piccolo simply says "he got better so this time he survived" after detonating all this energy. I already forgot, did Piccolo even mention his Blue form having anything to do with his surviving ?

Just chalk it up to back then Vegeta didn't really care about himself and threw himself away to win, now he scolds Toppo for giving up his pride while Vegeta draws strength from his newly found humanity. He only just learned to love Bulma and Trunks back then, now he actually wants to survive to be with them again.

And yeah, what Foobs said.

In all likelihood, that's what they're going to say if needed to explain this scene in any further detail, but it completely negates the point of having the bomb to begin with, and it's a total misdirection because it was one of the few things we can say we know for certain about Android 17 and 18.

I've thought about it since Saturday, and we know for sure in Super they addressed that he had the bomb removed via Krillin's wish back when Cell was defeated.  So perhaps in the time since we've not seen him, he had his own reasons to install a new one?  This falls apart of course at the fact that for whatever reason he would consider suicide as a self-sacrifice, the bomb that would at least be a planet cracker, and he'd just be destroying the very thing he's trying to protect by accident.  Also, what the hell kind of conflict would he be getting caught in outside the Z Warriors' radar that's above poachers that would demand reinstalling a bomb that was one of the handful of alterations they despised Gero for?

I'm sorry, it's just....so stupid.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on February 14, 2018, 12:37:05 am
The bomb was a self destruct device for Gero to activate if #17 and #18 turned against him, not something they were meant to use for themselves. #16 was fully under Gero's orders, being an actual robot and all, so the bomb was just one of his weapons. 17 and 18 were a threat to Gero, so the bomb wasn't something they were supposed to use.
The scene didn't seem to even bring it up at all anyway. It's not something that seemed worth thinking too hard about IMO, it's just something he could do. I didn't feel it had to be connected to that particular bomb.

Meh.  They had their opportunity for silver hair back when Super Saiyan God was announced, seeing in appearance that's all this is, this just feels silly to alter the Ultra Instinct form even further and add it now.  I'll ditto ShinZankuro here and vouch that it looked better with the base black hair too.  Besides, why would it change hair color, it's not tied to Super Saiyan and others who tap into a similar power don't alter themselves?  And yeah, I know the answer to that is "It's Dragon Ball after Z" and "Merchandising", but still.

Eh, I guess if Vegeta's got to change his hair to a deeper shade of blue, Goku's gotta do something.  Oh well.

I really don't think it's an actual galaxy, it's just a big cluster of energy that's shaped like a galaxy because it looks cool when it revolves. There's no indication that it's an actual galaxy. Jiren was basically doing the same thing with his fire thing just before firing it, except it didn't look like a galaxy. You can see through the fight that Goku's and Jiren's energies are slowly expanding to fill more space and look cool, until it concentrates over both of them and things go boom.

Post by: Long John Killer on March 04, 2018, 03:11:02 am
It could just be a representation that that energy output's worth is equal to the output of a galaxy.  Which isn't outside the realm of possibility with these power scales.

I snickered that Goku basically did a Shun Goku Satsui to Jiren after getting back up on the stage.

Next episode preview shows Goku and Jiren are getting progressively more naked as the fight goes on and according to the sub I saw Jiren now is in some serious heat. Only one way this struggle can end, and that is Goku being covered in his own hot white instinct.

http://www.dbmovie-20th.com/

Got some new information on that upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie.  Japanese date revealed, December 14th.  Toriyama goes on to talk about working on the movie and what it's about.

From the movie's official website said:
The Dragon Ball Super movie this time aroundwill be the next story that takes place after the anime that's currently on TV.The content will shed a little light on previously unexplored topics having to do with Frieza and the Saiyans, and I think it will be a very enjoyable story that serves up a long-awaited formidable opponent!
With 2013's Battle of Gods, the previous installment Resurrection 'F', and now this time too, I've been the one writing the stories. I've also been drawing quite a few things for them, like design illustrations.I'm actually as busy as ever, and if I wasn't serializing anything, I'd have time to think about the anime with which I used to not have enough time to be involved.(laugh) So on that note, I very much hope you look forward to it!
By the way, I think the highly popular Dragon Ball Super manga, drawn by Toyotaro,is going to see some developments different from the TV anime or movies, so please look forward to that. Be sure to check it out, too!

So we know at the very least it will take place after the ending of Super's current anime run coming up soon, will place focus on past dealings with Frieza and the Saiyans, and the big bad's someone we've been wanting for some time.

...Canon Cooler?  Ignoring the chance it could just be someone completely new and they're just hyping them up.  Beerus would be odd to transition back to a villain.  Frieza's gotta be done by now.  I doubt it's Bardock turning adversorial if not villanous, though he would play into the Saiyans' and Frieza's past, having been retconned into being the original Super Saiyan.  Otherwise...I dunno.  The original Super Saiyan God?  Revived Cell?

Anyways, I'm really enjoying that artwork on Goku.  And it's so good to see the return of the Power Pole, though if it's actually relevant to the movie or just an anniversary art piece is yet to be seen.

How many years did Super ultimately cover?
I don't know specifically off the top of my head, but we're not near the end of the 5-year time gap after Buu to end of Z.  I'd presume this movie does take not that long after Super's end, be it whatever it may with how this tourney will end, just long enough to heal and decompress from all that happened.  Wasn't Pan 2 in end of Z?  So we still have close to 2 years to go in-canon.

If I were a fan of hypotheticals (Oh wait, I am), I'd presume seeing this will have to do with the history of the Saiyans, it will involve us getting to that part of the story via the universes merging, and Vegeta following up on his promise to Cabba and discussing things there with their history and how it varied to what we know.  I'd guess Frieza gets his end of the bargain and gets brought back to life, and I just can't see them having Vegeta get a kill on him directly after.  Has to be SOME sort of gratitude amongst the group for participating in saving the universe, even if Vegeta has to be restrained long enough for Frieza to depart after being restored.

Beyond that, I'm still having trouble placing who the villain's going to be if it is a returning face or at least someone the fans have been supposedly wanting.  As much as I'd rather Frieza not go the route of the redeemed villain, I less see him being the new main threat directly following this tournament, but perhaps even helping with whatever this new threat being, should it interfere with his new army he's trying to form amongst the merged universes.

If you're referring to the Bardock SSJ special, that's very unlikely. That was literally written as fan pandering because of Bardock's popularity and his inclusion in a ton of games, and it never became relevant to anything. It was nothing more than a justification to make him go ssj in all the games. This movie, like bog and f, is written by Toriyama, which completely ignores that.

Post by: Byakko on March 14, 2018, 04:22:49 pm
Somehow I'm still reading stuff about the "original ssjgod" rumor, maybe it'll be part of a flashback / backstory for the actual villain (apparently related either to Freeza or the Saiyans) who pops up after the end of Super and that will be the meat of the movie ? this article (http://comicbook.com/anime/2017/12/19/dragon-ball-movie-2018-planet-sadala/) is still linked to in an article about that last Goku artwork with Toriyama's teaser, it seems it's still part of it. But if there's an actual enemy for Goku and some connection to Freeza, then that backstory probably won't take more than 5 minutes or so.

At any rate, that explains why they brought back Freeza, Toriyama does actually want to do something with him beside killing him and knocking him out several times like a bitch. Finally.

Post by: Long John Killer on March 19, 2018, 02:12:49 am
Personally I've avoided the dub, not because I dislike it, rather I'm expecting I will enjoy it much more than the sub because of the lessons they'll learn on how to go forward dubbing particular scenes due to fan feedback.  Plus I grew up with Toonami DBZ, of course I'm going to favor Sean and such.  The Japanese originals are serviceable, but not preferable personally.  But I'd rather get the full picture of the series while it's new first, without the dub's interpretation interfering with my judgement, figuring "Oh, well, there's X, Y and Z reasons how THIS scene could have been done better".


I am aware though how the Super dub is VASTLY superior with the early filler, making the best of each situation to throw clever references, like Ocean versus Funi dubbing here.  Though apparently on the flip-side, Goku Black has a British accent for no particular reason?

probably because

there's no rule against hurting the audience though. the rules only applied to the competitors,  while in frost's case he's an outside interference , so he broke a rule.

Manga chapter is out, Frost takes out Krillin and Tenshinhan then solos most of U9 (and then gets backstabbed and kicked out by Freeza). lol Krillin does literally nothing and  gets kicked out within two pages, and then Frost tanks a Kikoho then tosses Ten out, Gohan pulls a Kid Goku pushing himself back onto the ring with a kamehameha propulsion, and Freeza finishes off U9 which goes bye bye. Gohan and Piccolo fight a bit of U9 too.

It was a problem we all acknowledged going into Super.  Either we keep it GT for Goku Time (Guest starring Vegeta) or else everyone gets the same ridiculous boosts.  Varying abilities only go so far, when the basis for ki in this series is more or less a catch-all ability letting them do practically anything.  Like, we've already past being strong enough to beat time.  A while ago, at that.

As frankly stupid a number of the character boosts were, along with some who got shafted (Tien) they've still kept it in line that the Saiyans are top-tier outside these newcomers (Like Jiren who we really don't know much about how he got that power, so calling it undeserved is unfair at this point) while the rest of the Z-Warriors at least now do a better job pulling their weight by other means.

Post by: Shocksconstant on March 19, 2018, 10:05:10 pm
Yeah that maybe so but it does devalue the fact that Goku and Vegeta were given a chance to train with one the angels ( an honor most likely only passed to chosen gods of destruction) and still be matched by those who haven't (Freeza, Hit, A17, Trunks, U6 saiyans etc.)

Post by: Long John Killer on March 19, 2018, 10:23:12 pm
I agree with Frieza, 17 and Trunks in that example.  Especially Trunks, even regarding the theory of the possibility that there is something special to the Saiyan royal bloodline to get a rage-fueled alternative Super Saiyan form, a la that minor appearance of Vegeta beating Beerus in the BoG arc and Trunks' SSJ Rage.  But Hit is too unexplored in any great detail like Jiren to justify one way or another, other than his time skip along with an attack that bypasses defenses helped him even the battlefield against better fighters. 

And the Universe 6 Saiyans we were led to believe evolved in a different, more beneficial path than our universe's version that was subjugated to always be below Frieza's higher-up minions and never really improved as a society, just as individual warriors who were already at a good starting level for planetary conquest. (Or was that whole evolution thing just an on-going headcanon in the fandom?  I forget where we started filling in the blanks with them)  While the later revelations from those who worked on the story for Super gave a real disappointing answer as to how Kale and Caulifla came about, proving that tingly back thin was just as stupid as it appeared, there is some weight at least to the theory as to why they would be jumping over the steps Universe 7's Saiyans needed to push themselves through.  But minus the training to get there, of course they're mis-using the forms to their best potential.  They got the transformations way easier, but without the proper training, Goku of course put them in their place when separate.  Their power didn't match Goku's experience.

Now, Kefla beating God and Blue Goku, eh...because we never saw Vegito even trying in the Buu arc, and he was placed against a villain he was destroying but could not actually kill with Zamasu, I can't rule out that there's some sense to Kefla being that OP.  But I will agree without enough backstory to the girls, it just didn't feel right for that to happen.  And them harming UI Goku on top of that, too...

Power scaling is just a mess throughout this series.  Hopefully things will be more consistent going forward, and they can fill in the potholes left over.  And re-retcon that stupidity with Vegito Blue and time limits, GOD did I hate that.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 19, 2018, 10:32:30 pm
Remember : rage Trunks is anime only. It's Toei filler, don't take it seriously for canon power level debates (not that you should seriously debate on power levels, but, you know, if you do that anyway, at least don't take the fillers seriously).
Freeza makes a bit more sense after the BoG/F retcon that he knew Beerus all along and Beerus already thought he was pretty strong, it's just that Freeza never trained a single day in his life. It's a massive retcon from the original Namek arc because there's no way it makes sense when comparing the two power levels, but it did get an explanation. Plus, the Blues managed to wipe the floor with him once they figured out his weaknesses, and that was back when they were brand new to the form, and they've both made massive improvements to it since then, both in the anime and the manga, in the exact same way Goku and Gohan did when they learned to use SSJ all the time without needing to get angry.
#17 in the anime is on the edge of bullshit because you can still sort of get away with it by saying he's not actually strong, he just fights a lot smarter and he has infinite energy but he still gets beaten, and then once again I'll just say to wait for what the manga gives us on him.

Never heard of that theory and I don't visit any fandom sites, so that's fandom headcanon.

As for Vegito Blue, that was Toyotaro's suggestion to Toriyama and Toei apparently picked it up first. Literal author-approved fanservice.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on March 19, 2018, 10:40:24 pm

Filler is a very serious matter and should be taken very seriously! :tough:

I think I might have first heard it from MasekoX, so that might explain a thing or two.  But we already do know for sure they as a species grew in a fairly different manner than our default ones, and they reach the forms without nearly as much stress as Universe 7 did.

It's not so much that Vegito came back and could use the Blue form.  It would make sense that he could, and while I'm not a fan of the form myself it's not that big a deal.  It's the time limit nonsense.  You had A) A reason for them defusing already established that you could have gone further in-depth about B) A back-up plan on defusing them without a Buu conveniently around and C) Someone who already does exactly what you wanted to do with Vegito!  This was a much better opportunity to bring Gogeta into canon for the first time than reducing Vegito into the same thing as Gogeta.  They were close enough already, but had specific differences for each other, now they're literally the same thing.  And it's not like the fusion dance was forgotten by Toriyama, because Gotenks is still a thing.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on March 19, 2018, 11:08:23 pm
Well Toyotaro wanted to do Vegito, not Gogeta, and they worked backward from that suggestion :P
The unmaking of the original fusion was never really explained in the first place, right ? And then Toriyama straight up forgot about it. The time limit making Vegito basically the exact same as Gogeta was bad, yeah, but I don't see how they could have done Vegito again without that, Vegeta never wanted to do it again and there wasn't a way to go with the fan theory of Buu's evil insides. It's just Toyotaro's fault for wanting to do Vegito and not Gogeta (personally I prefer Vegito and I don't care about Gogeta who appears for like two minutes in his movie with almost no dialog - GT doesn't count).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on March 19, 2018, 11:39:37 pm
All they needed to do was not defuse until after Zeno took care of Zamasu.  Vegito could explain to Zeno that he's part Goku if need be (Though that timeline's Zeno didn't even care, if I recall correctly, and chances are being the one above all, he could probably tell anyways) then wish himself apart.  You'd still give Trunks his moment and keep the rest of the ending, while giving Vegito the fanservice they wanted.  But if they just wanted it to be an extremely short cameo, then I'm sorry, it was just stupid to not just use Gogeta for it.

But... Toyotaro wanted a short cameo by Vegito.
Vegito Blue failing to kill any form of Zamasu for any reason other than undoing the fusion would have been really terrible. They're not going to do a fanservice cameo of someone that's supposed to be way more powerful than anything if they're just going to toss him in the fire by saying actually he's a big loser who fails to kill Zamasu.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on March 19, 2018, 11:53:05 pm
I'm sorry, I have to disagree.  He was never going to beat Zamasu, and we knew that from the start.  They were hoping to outstrength infinity, the guy was immortal.  I would say it would have been better if he stayed around and tried every trick in the book he could to drill the message Vegito was never going to do anything, rather than a short fight and popping away.  It wouldn't have mattered anyway one way or another to fans at that point once they've shown that just being stronger than Zamasu wasn't going to cut it, they needed another strategy.  But it did matter messing with the pre-established canon on the guy just to fit him in there in this unwinnable situation.

I just wish Toyotaro here thought of that beforehand, that all this change was ultimately unnecessary.

I mean they kinda still did though? As much as Vegito was hyped up he still did less damage to Zamasu than Goku on his own with almost no strength left. In fact, if you'd cut out the Vegito part and just have senzu upped Goku and Vegeta struggle against Zamasu until we got to the Trunks spirit sword thing it would literally change nothing. On top of that Vegito also has a time limit now? Yeah it makes sense why fans thought it was poorly done despite what the author wanted.

Uh ? Vegito was wiping the floor with Zamasu, they were even hinting that Zamasu's regeneration was unable to keep up with his power, and very strongly hinting that Vegito was about to kill Zamasu with his last blast right when he defused. That's both in the anime and the manga.

Post by: Shocksconstant on March 20, 2018, 12:24:34 am
the manga for sure but the anime? Sorry I'll never accept that Goku's Kamehameha wave did more damage to Zamasu than Vegito's Final Kamehameha wave in the anime. His defusing before his "last blast" is a cop out to me at that point.

fusions are a plot device meant to show how powerful the opponent is. not once outside the movies and gt has fusion ever won. theyre used to demonstrate a significant power up for the heroes and gives hope that they would win but have always ended in ways that makes the characters and audience go "oh fuck". fusions haven't won in canon and that doesn't change here, atleast it gives us a great fight scene.

The Idea to bring Vegito back was good, but they could have handled it better without retcon the Portara Fusion rules.

For example a good reason would have been that the Portara of Universe 7 where not created to handle so much Power, and something "unexpected" happens.

We can be realy sure at this Point, that the Gods of Universe 7 are realy bad at doing "godly things" so it would not suprise anyone if they create things like the Portara in a lower quality than other universes do.

On Saturday night, fans of Dragon Ball Super gathered in their tens of thousands across South America to watch public screenings of the penultimate episode of the hit series. Despite being organized by local governments, every screening was unlicensed and completely illegal. Not even personal intervention by the Japanese government could halt the fun.

Earlier this month, fans of Dragon Ball Super in Mexico started a movement on social media which suggested that everyone should be able to watch episode 130 (titled “The Greatest Showdown of All Time! The Ultimate Survival Battle!!”) together in public.

Surprisingly, this movement started receiving support from various local governments, many of which agreed to erect large screens in public places, from town and city squares to football stadiums.

Official government Twitter accounts lit up with announcements from the authorities, with posters like the one below issued for many of the events.

While this all sounded wonderful in practice, there was a huge problem. According to Toei Animation, the Japanese company behind the hit anime show, no one had the licensing rights to show Dragon Ball Super in public.

It kind of throws away every urgency there was when the tournament started, and it basically makes the entire thing useless, a literal bowl of fanservice galore because Japan loves tournaments in their shounen manga, but for his (their) character, it's a step up. And in the end he really doesn't give a shit one way or another as long as he has fun. He's really the ultimate viewer-insert.

So it just occurred to me now, but I'm disappointed that we didn't end Super actually catching up the End of Z.  Either just before getting to Uub or ever re-doing the scene with some changes to match what Super's presented.  I was rather hoping whatever they do for the next series would not still be constrained to this time period before Goku leaves with Uub.  Since they were going to go as far as to mess with GT, then at least they should replace that time frame with some new content.

They still could, mind you, but I'd imagine now they'll probably stick to a time period right around Super's end, since they left that time gap open.

This isn't the end of Super.
Super is ending because they had various problems and they have no idea how to handle anything resembling pacing, but this is definitely not the end of what was planned to be the events in the 10 year gap.
We're not hitting the Uub tournament before a very long time. It's been two years and a half and we're barely over halfway there, including the hiatus and movie we still have at least three years to go if not more.
So you just have to consider that this actually isn't the end of Super.
(but I am expecting Trunks and Goten to start growing up a bit at last when "Super" or its sequel returns, come on guys, update your designs)

I haven't heard anything about messing with GT. I haven't heard anything about keeping it either, considering that it was never canon in the first place and Toriyama will probably ignore it if he ever decides to do a continuation to Z's final chapter. But so far there's little indication that he has any plan to do that. I figure that the end of Dragon Ball is the end of the manga in his head.

... oh right, actually, rejuvenating the Pilaf gang was already a fuck you to GT ever since the F movie. He's definitely ignoring GT.

manga in general is muuuuch more fast paced since toyotaro is treating it much more like an actual battle royale. so many characters who got some kinda spotlight even for a bit were shafted waaaay faster than usual

..as if that's even a big deal? he referenced stuff from other sources, yes, so do alot of other artists. people are freaking out as if toyotaro is some sort of fraud, he references the poses yes, but he isn't directly drawing over the original source :/

this is very common within manga and comics and just art in general. it's not some sort of huge conspiracy or anything but i guess the DB fandom thinks so

obviously its really bad to use it as a crutch and over do it but toyotaro has enough of his own material so it's not like he's doing it 24/7


drawing itself isn't even 100 percent referenced from cap: https://twitter.com/AnimeAjay/status/998956768683266048

yep, it's just a reference. Ic an think fo two authors that go to some amazing extremes to "trace", so much that you would call the non-tracers lazy.

oku hiroya, has been doing 3d renders of the individual panels since 1998, he then draws over them; most mangaka just do stickamn fgures for compisition.

boishi goes even further, he has "actors" that pose his action scenes so he can keep realistic proportions on interesting angles, he also shoot/destroys thing to get a proper looka t how certian things look while getting destroyed; but what I emant by taking it further is that he even travels internationally to take pictures of better backgrounds, incñuding climbing on poles (maybe even tresspassing) tog et better angles.

the whole "tracing/using references is bad" stinks of amateurism,

First DBHeroes episode was just 9 minutes. Ugh. And clearly they went full force in bringing back the movies again with Cooler and Bojack (also Cold somehow - I'm just waiting for Slug but apparently I'm the only one who liked him), which could be an acceptable concept, but the writing is sooooo lazy, they're just throwing everyone in a blender for the hell of it and that's it. Since they're even introducing Time Patrollers and not bothering even talking about it ("hi, I'm you from another world and I'm a Time Patroller, but enough talking, let's get moving"*), and given that it's only 9 minutes, it's complete fanservice crossover to promote the Heroes games. So it'll be a season of no point or sense, just random cool fights probably of questionable quality.
*Not the actual dialog
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 02, 2018, 04:12:59 am
Huh, after a bunch if not the majority of most Dragon Ball news people saying how Blue Goku in this beats SSJ4 Xeno Goku to kick off the series, I figured that was just fact from the game that they were going to open with.  But that didn't really happen at all in this episode, in fact alongside with there barely being a conflict at all that ended pretty evenly, they're coming across as Xeno Goku is the stronger and in charge.  At least, that's what I was getting from his performance here, alongside, you know, being the time patroller looking to save the universes.

So I don't know an extensive amount of Heroes lore.  I know that the Saiyans that get brought back get ridiculous power-ups through wearing masks and the villains get similar power-ups through dragon balls being implanted into their bellies, but Cooler here is missing either.  So he's screwed against Trunks, yeah?  Or is this a Fighterz scenario and everyone's just on an even playing field just 'cuz?
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 02, 2018, 05:05:27 pm

Huh, so I'm reading that those "episodes" only show up in arcade and not even on TV. So this explains that then, those aren't episodes, just the same thing as the various openings for each iteration of Heroes. It never was anything more than full promo for the arcade games, not a real season of Super as we were hoping to fill space until the movie. Okay.

Post by: Lichtbringer on July 03, 2018, 12:15:24 am
The DB Heroes lore is similar to the DB Online and Xenoverse Lore, that Mira and Towa create distortions in Time and changing the Timeline to get power to restore the Demon realm and rule everything and so on, they can use magic to give Villians more Power, and boost that even to a extreme point when they enslave them with a Time Breaker Mask.

The Dragon Balls that can fuse with people are "Dark Dragon Balls" that where created by a version of Dende who was under the Mind Controll of the Demons, they fuse with people to absorb negative energie over time to give Dark Shenron more power.

Fu who was seen in the Promo Episode is the son of  Mira and Towa and is an odd character, he was created for Dragon Ball online (as a Baby) and fully introduced as a adult and playable character in the last big Xenoverse 2 story Update.

He has the power to create time rifts that are selfcontained and don't alter the regular timeline, and likes to create WHAT IF scenarios, and can absorb the energies of this rifts, he is neither good or evil and doesn't care for the other Demons and the demonrealm and just follows his own agenda.


Btw. I saw something interessting in the Promo episode, for a short time you could see Ozotto, a character that only appeared once in an old DBZ Arcade game.

King Cold was on the screen directly over Fuu, Ozotto can be seen on the small screen in the right corner.


He is also part of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission 3 Opening, so we can be sure that it is truly Ozotto.

I mean, still could no? Since even if it´s true Broly appears here, his Transformation with his unique "things" way too different from the Super Saiyan and God Forms. Could be just a Flash Back or anything.

I think this is more like a "Fans/Cash Magnet" (Which could also be fake) just like how Frieza was back then with Revival of F... Which is working (atleast for me) since i had no interest on this movie until this morning.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 10, 2018, 12:22:47 am
I suppose it's just as well.  Kale evidently wasn't meant to replace Broly, only to be the pre-show to his arrival into the canon.  Which is fine, she took it in her own direction, and this will supposedly rework Broly to fix the issues people held with him while keeping him same enough to what people liked about him.  The only thing I wonder/worry about is if they're just gonna have him copy Kale's controlled version of the Legendary transformation.

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/6/6a/Kale_03.png/revision/latest?cb=20171105025823)
Because it's both one of the things she's got going only for herself, and it lessens the impact of Broly's own transformation since he's supposed to just go wild in it.  I suppose they can give him that God Broly thing or some facsimile of it, but that just seems weird, pulling from a theme park ride to give him something new.  Odd enough he's making the jump from non-canon into canon, to then throw in nonsense like that.

Well, whatever they do, I'm happy.  I like Broly, and want to see them improve the character however they can, so looking forward even more to this movie.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 10, 2018, 01:41:59 am
I don't remember if the anime brought it up but at least the manga has tried to hint through Freeza that the green version really was different from the gold and blue forms, when he mentions he can't be bothered to remember what all Saiyan forms do. If they can push that a bit further, I'm hoping they won't need to give Broly a SSGod form and still have the green form keep up, unlike how the Heroes games gave him SSJ3 forms and so on, that was lame.
Personally I loved SSJ Broly in the Goten/Trunks/Gohan/Videl movie, which could be close enough to Kale's "controlled" form, but I know the form that gives people the biggest hard-on is the super thick one.
Uh, the Toriyama comment image in one of those Toei tweets does mention that Broly will tie back to the Freeza force and the history of the Saiyans. so I guess there's still the connection with Yamoshi or whatever, and we can still get a trip to Sadala.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 10, 2018, 02:25:59 am
Well, we already knew the green one was different for a while, though Toriyama will have to explain now why Broly's is different than Kale's if he's canon.  Previously, before Kale's arrival, it was fairly straight-forward on the hax abilities; Super Saiyan power, plus increasing power forever to no specified limit, and physical invulnerability.  Except that whole punch in the gut thing Goku did where baby Broly was previously stabbed in the first movie.  Which...now that I think of it, they would either have to drop the invulnerability or retell that whole bit again in the new movie if this doesn't take the first 3 Broly movies into account.

I'm gonna guess at this point, seeing Frieza's going to have to take a bigger role in this movie that he did in the first Broly movie just destroying the planet, that maybe his men or even himself did the honors of stabbing Baby Broly to give him that weak spot.  I'd say it was the new Frieza Force people we're going to be introduced to so they have a bigger role, but I'm going to presume they're brand new members of Frieza's new army, not some leftovers from before he died the first time, thus they couldn't be connected to Broly.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 10, 2018, 02:32:18 am
For know I'll sooner assume that Toriyama is rewriting Broly's backstory from scratch. No baby stabbing and no crying carrot trauma (but probably still some trauma). Toriyama's comment on the Toei twitter sounds like he's aware of what parts of him people hate and what parts people love, and he only cares to bring what people love. Sure it can still turn out he doesn't get it at all and it'll be a trainwreck, but at this point I'm betting on a straight rewrite from scratch, and just forget the first movies.

For how different the green form is, I was mainly talking about so far in Heroes. In Super they seem to be carefully reframing this form steadily. As in, still the same big idea (infinite increase of power), but with an updated definition that accounts for the SSJ3/God/Blue comparisons. Like something any Saiyan could theoretically hit, a different kind of power the same way God and Instinct are a new type of power from just "add multipliers lol" gold. It'll take away from Broly's unique traits but I'd be fine with that if that ditches all the fanmade shit until now.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 10, 2018, 02:37:22 am
Aw, but while the hatred stemming from Kakarot's crying thing was a bit too much, I liked the set-up of King Vegeta being too cowardly to use this newfound power to his advantage against the tyrannical rule of Frieza, thus since he couldn't use it he aimed to destroy it.  And that leading to a justified way for the good guys to beat him in a typical DBZ brawl, already previously establishing his superior physical and ki-based power over everyone else.  Just they could establish a way the Z Warriors find out that news, not it just being told to us, the audience.


Oh well.  We'll just have to wait and see what they do going forward with this.  I personally am for just fixing up the old plot, but I'm not against just ditching the whole thing if the replacement is better.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 10, 2018, 02:41:43 am
Eh, the gut wound felt like a random plot device to cop out of a corner they painted themselves into because that's just what the mechanics of power levels were back then. These days it's all about explaining why Blue is different from Gold and why White is different from Blue, with actual different concepts, rather than just "keep stacking numbers and say it just works now".
The conspiracies with King Vegeta and Sparagus were fine as a guiding story, but that's a different matter. I've no strong feeling for or against those plot details depending on what they want to do with the character now.

Hmmmm... Actually, it wouldn't be far fetched, the manga is still struggling to catch up even though it's going as fast as it can, and I don't see Toyotaro missing the chance to do the Broly movie in the manga, so the anime could easily waste time redoing it. Of course the anime could just wait a few more months before resuming but I don't know if they would.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series

What I want to know is how they will explain where this version of Broly is comming from, if he is a Universe 7 Saiyan like in his original movies, then that would make Shin look even more incompetent, because he was not able to find him in his search for strong warriors for the Tournament of Power, unless Broly was in some kind of stasis or something.^^

Did they even mention that anyone looked in places that weren't Earth ? I don't remember that they bothered, since Goku just knew enough people and they figured anyone strong would have been in Freeza's army and Earth wiped out those guys (Beerus did blame team Earth for that IIRC).
So far I figure that Broly is U7's LSSJ and Kale is U6's.

but because this is dragon ball and it's toriyama who's gonna write that movie expect a half ass explanation ,  i'm more concerned that are they gonna introduce broly in the movie then kill him off? or will he be a recurring villain.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 12, 2018, 08:21:44 pm
I'm hoping he sticks around. I mean, the movies kept killing him then trying to find ways to bring him back and the games keep throwing him out there with no justification, might as well give everyone a reason to keep bringing him back, we know people love him. When Resurrection F killed Freeza I thought it was stupid to bring him back with a new power up only to kill him off, but then Super picked him out of Hell for a bargain and then revived him. So in hindsight, it makes sense that they had to kill him when he attacked Earth, he wasn't going to accept his loss and walk away, if they were going to fully revive him anyway after doing the usual "uneasy alliance" trope. At least Freeza is still a villain, unlike how quickly Tien, Piccolo, Vegeta, the androids jumped ship.

If I remeber it right they just recruited people on Earth because Shin Could not find any other strong fighters in universe 7 because threre where just 20 or so planets with life on it in the entire Universe 7 left, that makes me wondering what the hell happend there.

Checking out the manga, when they start discussing who's strong, Shin just says there's 28 planets with people (humans, civilization, whatever, although I doubt they make the distinction) on it, but he never checked them for power levels, and Whys just says to pick from the people they already know. So they don't actually bother looking around. We still don't actually know if there are stronger people in U7 :P

Yeah, green fur somehow (it's ugly), and black forearm+shin guards like the old Saiyan designs (Nappa, Bardock). Also a skin tight pair of pants like Kefla, I'm really not a fan.

edit - oh, d'uh. It just hit me, between the arm guards, the boots, and the skin tight pants, this is telling us that this Broly was living as a regular Saiyan soldier for a time with the full classic Saiyan gear, just like Vegeta and Nappa and the likes, before breaking away and going all wild man living in the forest or something, probably, judging by the fur skirt and the absence of armor. So his backstory is probably completely revamped then, no exile as a baby, no Paragus scheming for revenge against Vegeta.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 15, 2018, 12:45:50 am
I dunno, Broly's hate for Goku is pretty much his entire character and Toriyama did say he wanted to please Broly fans. Either that was only about his absolute juggernaut style, or it included literally the one and only personality trait he has. Plus in that teaser, he does seem pretty miffed when staring at Goku for all two seconds we see of him :P
I think the hatred for Goku can stay, but it just needs an actual legit reason (well, as far as berserk logic goes, at least, it doesn't have to be a super deep reason), and Toriyama wants to do the character justice, so maybe that's the big point he's updating about him.

... If Broly was a soldier just like Nappa and Vegeta judging by the remains of his Saiyan gear, maybe he wasn't too far from them (without being part of their group like Raditz) and he's pissed that Goku beat Vegeta and Broly was left completely abandoned, especially after the Freeza force was wiped ? Vegeta doesn't need to know about Broly (well, he says early on that they're the last Saiyans but then again, Table shows up a decade later) but maybe, I dunno, Broly had hopes that the Saiyans could rise again and Goku beating Vegeta killed that dream. That would mean Broly wants to defend Vegeta's honor so who knows, but abandonment issues would at least be a step up to explain his insanity (plus it would even resonate with Kale who worships Caulifla). (also abandonment issues probably means no Paragus but who cares about him)
... Just rolling the ball off the fact that he's wearing worn-out Saiyan gears and a fur pelt, don't take it seriously.
By the way, considering Toriyama gave us Dragon Ball Minus where it turns out Goku was like 3 when he was sent to Earth, and not a newborn baby, Broly hearing Goku's cries as a newborn baby and then surviving the exploding planet is out of the window, so there's that.

... Anyway I still don't get why that fur pelt is green, it's weird. Red would be slightly more natural and a more obvious throwback to his original design. I wouldn't expect it to mean anything, but that's just ugly, it tickles me the wrong way.

(last edit : I was looking through the first responses when the movie teaser came out and lol @ the "huh, feels like Broly" comments - well except LJK who was glad to see a new Saiyan villain that's not Broly)

Oho ? Design for base and ssj form, also figurines. So he does have the full Saiyan armor. I like it.
It's much more recent than Nappa's though, so it looks more like he was part of Freeza's force during the resurrection movie... ?

Which is funny to me, because I'm fine with it being Broly.  Just, I did not expect it at all to turn out as such at the time.

Eh, though, that new outfit on Broly is a bit of an eyesore.  The red cloth to fur is whatever, not a big deal at all, but those color choices?  I guess Broly's an Evangelion fan, now.  Also, I can't help but notice a resemblance at how the new Frieza armor looks a bit like one of Multiverse's copies of Broly, minus the shoulder pads.

The slightly more square-ish shape and the type of colors (secondary "evil" colors instead of primary "good" colors) are close to the stuff that Freeza's army was wearing during the Resurrection movie
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Tagoma (edit - in fact it's nearly identical to that one http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Shisami )
Toriyama's base form sketch was shown during Jump Victory Carnival, it's real nice
https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2018/jul/16/heres-look-reboot-broly-upcoming-dragon-ball-super-movie/
It's a bit different, with an emphasize on the worn down, "lived in the wild for a few years" aspect, and he already lost the armor (except another image from Toei shows him green with the armor intact, so I dunno, maybe the worn down one is from the end of the movie, I'm feeling a bit lost at this point). Also blue pants instead of purple, so I'll just blame Toei as usual.

So he was in Freeza's forces too and he's the one who was hiding Broly, then. But Paragus wanting revenge on Vegeta doesn't really look like it'll fit anymore at this point - he's been around Freeza's forces all this time even when Vegeta was still there ?
Manga update - wow, Gohan's standing up to Kefla ?? (yes, already) Nice Broly montage of Kale, too.

Looks pretty.

Well, from my estimation, we can see they still have an introduction to Broly as a baby, as well as a second baby with him.  Presumably we'll still have the baby Broly/Goku connection, just probably done better somehow.  Also we see old Paragus touch down to find an old, deserted Saiyan pod.  Probably means that Paragus sent Broly away from Planet Vegeta before its destruction without going with the baby, and is retrieving him at a later point, hence the fur attachment because he went all Saiyan Tarzan growing up.  Throwing Frieza into the mix and Broly wanting to fight him, maybe the pod includes a recording of Frieza doing the deed of destroying his home planet?  Or Paragus shows him later in life, I suppose works too.

Seems if he's mopping the floor with Vegeta, Frieza and Goku at their max before he even turns into the Legendary form, then Ultra Instinct is gonna be their key out of this.  Which, lets be fair, we were probably expecting regardless, but I suppose its zen state does make for a nice opposite for Broly's rage-inducing form, so that should be nice at the end.

That or, seeing the four-star Dragon Ball is in play here, maybe they have a wish at the end to solve things.  I was more imagining that if they were going to use them in the film, it would be to bring Goku a challenger, rather than solve their crisis, but seeing it's still active in the trailer I'm guessing they're saving it for the end of the film.

Edit: Correction, Paragus touching down to the broken pod has greying hair, but not as grey as it is in the present time, thus it must have been some time beforehand.  Could still mean he found Broly mid-teens or something, but clearly some time had past between that and the start of this movie.

Damn, those fights look brutal (reminds me of the original movie) and with some good visual quality. Broly beating up two SSJ and body checking Freeza while in his base form is looking pretty cool.
Zen state against rage state sounds like it might get pretty frustrating fast, just watching Broly start punching the air a lot and failing to hit Goku who's just dancing around him, it doesn't really sound like a good match to me. It depends on how long they drag that out, but making it super short might be boring too. They avoided that in the Jiren fight by having Goku learn it gradually and failing at first, but I'm not sure they can pull off the same trick again (and the Jiren fight ended with everyone simply punching the shit out of each other in the face anyway).
At least they kept the "keep babies in a jar for a few years first" idea from Dragon Ball Minus. I don't see baby Carrot crying all the time in that liquid though, it's still not quite right IMO.
Yeah, Paragus looks younger when he finds the capsule. Broly is probably at least a teen when Paragus finds him, but I still don't see how he managed to slip him into Freeza's army once Freeza comes back. And I don't really get why Freeza is calling his power magnificent, I don't see him holding back his disgust for Saiyans for any reason. He doesn't seem anymore like he'd particularly pissed specifically at Goku, too. So anyway, the blue tights and white boots from Toriyama's rough design are from his wild phase, then Paragus finds him, and he gets a purple and green upgrade, then, right ?
Oh yeah, and since Paragus is probably finding that capsule after the planet was destroyed.... Then who the hell is that other Saiyan next to him ? Goku/Vegeta/Nappa/Raditz/Tarble were completely not the last remaining Saiyans at all ! What the fuck, Vegeta.

It's probably a Saiyan that was already presumed to be dead, Freezer's army is maybe advanced but they can't find people across the entire universe even with scouters, Paragus and his companion where probably so unimportant that no one even checked, there could be even more "low level Saiyans" out there on some primitiv or harsh worlds where someone could survive, but no sane person would want to go.^^

I saw a scene where they used 3D.
It doesn't look as awful as in the other movies. From what little I've seen it's pretty decent and follows the style well, but it's still visible that's 3D. Hopefully they don't use it much.

For this I can see that
A)The green fur might be FROM BROLY. Some time perhaps earlier in his life he might have went Great ape and they shaved it off of him and he now wears his own fur as a blanket? (Idk)
B) He's got a beef with Vegeta, Goku, AND FRIEZA. I believe that Paragus and Broly's story is that they might be renegade sayians with the intent on overthrowing King Vegeta and Frieza's entire family race.
C) I think Broly either has a kid of his own or a little brother.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 20, 2018, 10:41:01 pm
Regardless what Paragus may think of Freeza, I wouldn't say Broly necessarily has a beef with him just from that fight, he just likes to body check everyone he meets. Like saying hello. Hell, so far, we've only seen him attack Goku and Vegeta on orders by Paragus, we don't even know to what extent he hates them. He seemed furious at Goku in the first teaser, but given this trailer, now it just looks like it's how he is in an average day.
It's just that apparently people have been wishing that Freeza would face the actual Legendary Super Saiyan for once, so they found a way to pitch them against each other. I just don't understand Freeza putting aside his desire to wipe out all monkeys long enough to care for Broly's magnificent power. And enlist both him and Paragus in his ranks on top of that (but Broly already has the new armor when he attacks Freeza, and it's on the same planet as the final blue vs green fight).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: BurningSoul on July 20, 2018, 10:58:01 pm
Didnt Frieza destroy Saiyans planet cause he feared Super Saiyan Legend? He is way stronger than past and go golden now,I feel like it wasnt a hate towards Saiyans and their race in general but a fear of losing due to legend of Super Saiyan and hate towards Goku.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on July 20, 2018, 11:19:01 pm
Well, he feared the Super Saiyan legend (then Goku went Super Saiyan, then everyone went Super Saiyan, then Freeza got stronger too, but now there's a real Legendary Super Saiyan) but pretty much every single time he talks about Saiyans, he makes sure to mention his disdain for those monkeys like 20 times. He still goes at it another round in the Super manga with Caulifla and Kale. TBF, his hate boner for Saiyans is weird, he shits on them for being weak but he hates when the legend of the Super Saiyan comes up so much (along with the risk that he might turn on him) that he blows up the planet, and he still wants to prove his superiority to the remaining Saiyans by stomping them out even though they just won't stay down. It's like a wounded pride thing, he only thinks as himself being at the top so he insults their weakness and thinks they're just arrogant for having a legend like the Super Saiyan, and he won't admit that he never manages to wipe them out.
So I just don't see how that would work with him allowing Paragus in his ranks (even if we assume he doesn't know about Broly yet and only finds out late on that volcanic planet). He might be fine with keeping pets like when he kept Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, but if there's an actual Legendary Super Saiyan that's even above the Super Saiyans, I can't see him fully appreciating Broly's power.

Apparently there are design sheets for all the forms Goku and Vegeta go through (black, gold, red, blue, even for Vegeta) and also Broly, who has a black haired thick mode, then a gold mode with the armor (I thought the poster where he was gold was a Toei coloring goof and I was wondering if he was really going to have a gold mode, glad to see it there), and finally green without the armor. They're treating thick black mode like a different form, that explains why he starts with his hair hanging low like in Toriyama topless sketch, and in most of the time in the trailer when he's already curbstomping everyone (even fighting Goku Blue), he has Caulifla hair (and green eyes).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 21, 2018, 02:11:25 am
I'd dare say it even resembles the False Super Saiyan form, which would be a cool as hell little addition to throw in there for Broly, that mid-way point between transforming and just tapping into the form's power a bit like Goku did with Slug and prior to when Pikkon first showed off his skills.

I mean, I doubt they'll call it that, or even probably go as far as connect the two intentionally, but its resemblance is neat.

Red God Vegeta showing up this move is cool, the red form looks so much better than the blue one, but it's odd.  Now two movies in a row, we'll be showing off a new form on screen for Vegeta, only for him to get beaten in it regardless.  Unless they really want to surprise us and Vegeta's the one who pulls the win this movie, in a lesser form at that, but I can't imagine that being the case.

As an aside, if they're going to be reincorporating the God form more often again alongside Blue, seeing the Tournament of Power gave Goku a number of times to let it shine and now this with Vegeta, I would appreciate it if they start just calling it "Red" in canon as well.  It has always sounded so bizarre that the next step beyond a God is....Blue.  Or the equally stupid one we thankfully dropped "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan".  Just refer to both as God form, either God Red or God Blue, and it would be so much better, personally.

I'm a little late getting to read this latest chapter, but having done so now, it's leaving a weird mixture of doing some things better, some worse, so here's a mini-rant.  I liked that they took the Legendary Super Saiyan thing with Kale as a bigger threat than the anime did, and as Kefla here she would have logically been an even bigger threat, even bigger than the anime's rendition.  But then they're also trying to bring back Gohan to relevance, and I'm both happy about that but feel it's so ill fitting here?  I'm sorry, either his Mystic/Ultimate form was retconned to be a WAY bigger deal than he was in the Buu saga and probably should have almost beaten Beerus himself when he first showed up, or that jump in power between the start of this tournament to now was bigger than all of Super's ludicrous jumps for Goku and Vegeta.  And on top of that, there barely was a fight presented.  Kefla beat Gohan a bit, he surprised her getting back up, we went off panel for a bit, come back and they both get a double K.O.  It just felt unearned and didn't do either side service.  Kefla felt less big a deal than Kale by herself worrying even Jiren at first and Gohan just got to stand up and take himself out with her, not even by clever tactics or some sort of plan, just he so happens to now be at her level of power.

Roshi with his zen state of mind preaching the basics of martial arts itself being the catalyst for UI Goku I'm also mixed on, because it's a really cool idea and I like how they went about it, but I also like how the anime required some more present danger to trigger it.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 26, 2018, 12:33:31 am
Yeah, it's super weird of it threw Gohan at her and then the whole thing lasts like 2 minutes off panel and then they're both beat up and get a double KO. What the hell.

Roshi with his zen state of mind preaching the basics of martial arts itself being the catalyst for UI Goku I'm also mixed on, because it's a really cool idea and I like how they went about it, but I also like how the anime required some more present danger to trigger it.
I figure that's pretty much the big difference between the anime approach and the manga in a nutshell : the anime just flings powerlevels and makes big explosions, while Toyotaro tries hard to make cool "old school martial arts flicks" moments with both Chinese and Japanese movie tropes, especially with the callback to how Toriyama himself tried multiple time to stick with it - before going ham on the powerlevels with the planet-busting levels introduced in that Vegeta/Goku fight. It's basically lampshading that the entire Super Saiyan power creep that made the manga famous was a bad and boring thing, straying away from the original themes (well, at least trying to show that the old tropes were great too).
In fact, I find it curious that Toyotaro didn't go as far as the anime in making the All King(s) the self-insert for the Dragon Ball fanboy that find that transformations and explosions are the one cool thing of the story and always wants more of the same. Manga All-King is a lot tamer and almost feels sensible.
Personally, I like the Roshi lecture+demo and the callbacks to Goku's previous masters better. Honestly it makes more sense to me that the UI is a derivative of the old Japanese martial arts approach to zen, because it's an actual thing in samurai philosophy and the entire "one with the universe" trope of Zen martial arts. And I find it amusing that all the aliens are the ones that are focused on powerlevels while Earth martial arts mentality is the basis for this "lost" / "legendary" ultra instinct that even the gods have trouble achieving. That's just what it felt like when the anime introduced it, and I'm happy that the manga is going full force on that (while making it clear that Earth martial arts is nowhere close enough to it because it still lacks a huge amount of power, Roshi still isn't a threat to Jiren just because he can do that).
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 26, 2018, 01:06:47 am
I just feel a mix of the two would have worked perfectly if it was triggered by Jiren hitting Roshi.  That would have pushed Goku to go into UI, save Roshi, approach Jiren, fall out of UI, then we'd have some future panels in later chapters of Roshi reteaching this to Goku.  Or even just attempt to save Roshi, not make it in time, then have Roshi giving out wisdom from the sidelines.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 28, 2018, 11:55:41 pm
I mean, we kinda were already under some bit of assumption that the theatrical re-releases of Fusion Reborn and Bardock's movie alongside the original Broly to hype up this new one meant they were intended to be referenced in the new one somehow.  And while it's pretty easy to just shove Bardock into any sort of Saiyan planet flashback, there's not a lot to take from Fusion Reborn and fit into a Broly movie but Gogeta.  But I guess cool that there's more pointing to that outcome, I suppose.

So this is the third time Gogeta's fighting Broly, yeah?  In about the most possibly non-canon ways one can imagine before, in one of the Budokai Tenkaichi games and on that Japan-only theme park ride.  But I guess people like the concept.  Not sure yet at this point if they want to introduce Broly to then kill him off at the end, but that's kinda Gogeta's thing over Vegito in personality, seeing how no-nonsense he was taking care of Janemba. (Presuming they're ignoring GT, since pretty much everyone else is at this point)

...Now if only they considered Gogeta beforehand in the series and not mess with Vegito and by proxy lessen both of their worth, this would be cooler personally, but whatever, I'm not gonna get over that detail but it is what it is.  But maybe they'll find something new to retcon and give metamoran fusion a power potara doesn't, I dunno.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on August 29, 2018, 03:20:12 am
Vegito came back because Toyotaro wanted Vegito, not Gogeta. There was no reason to bring back Gogeta. I don't see how any of it lessened his worth, considering the alternative was to never show up ever again. You only think it would be cooler because you like Gogeta more than Vegito.
Plus, it made it easier to bring out Kefla in the TOP, we knew by that point that it wouldn't be permanent (I wouldn't have liked the loss of Caulifla and Kale for a permanent fusion, personally). And considering the power levels in play, the only way to make the U6 Saiyans relevant was that fusion, or just play out the whole Broly movie right there and then, which would probably have derailed the tournament.
(not that it did Kefla a whole lot of good considering how she was thrown away into the trash in two minutes in the manga, but that's another issue...)

As for Gogeta in the Broly movie, I don't expect any sort of new power or special trick, I just expect the differences between Vegito and Gogeta to show up in their personality. I'm not even sure if I should expect his performance to last any longer than the Janenba fight, where he said like one line and a half, performed two attacks, and vanished. But then that would mean taking out Broly, and I really hope they don't kill him off again while knowing they'll have to bring him back AGAIN later.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on August 29, 2018, 03:31:55 am
But I don't like Gogeta better?  I WOULD say he would have been a much better character to use in the situation, though seeing it meant nothing in the end anyways but to point out a fact we already knew, might as well have skipped the whole debacle of fusion altogether.

And of course it lessens their value, it literally detracts one of the few established rules that came with that form of fusion, and made it that much more impactful that they as characters would choose to go through with it!  I would rather him not show up again than messing up something that was fine the way it was.

But we've discussed this before, and it's moot at this point.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 23, 2018, 10:07:36 pm
New chapter, a surprising moment of Freeza and #17 apparently getting along not too badly (that'd make a decent introduction to shifting Freeza to the usual anti-hero role), and a pretty clear opposition between Vegeta refusing to be taught stuff and just deciding to improve on his own, and Goku deciding to not get mad, which is pretty much discarding the whole basis for the Super Saiyan form but apparently is the key to reactivate Ultra Instinct.
The Jiren fight should be nearly wrapping up next month, and then the wish and the return home should end the chapter for the month after that... Which brings us right to the Broly movie. I'm, like, 90% sure Toyotaro will do the movie in the manga.

Gotta say, I know the manga is usually better at handling the story arcs than the anime, but I think the anime has done a much better job with the Tournament of Power so far. I mean, what even is manga TOP anymore? Toyotaro seems so keen on rushing everything and throwing everybody out the window in 5 seconds while giving them the idiot ball. The anime, while I still think did kind of rush a few things, at least gave the limelight to people and kept them around longer, not to mention the personalities (like say Toppo, who is pretty much emotionless in the manga compare de to his anime, also what the hell was that elimination from this new chapter anyway?). I can already tell I’m in for more disappointment. Hopefully the next arc is leagues better than this one.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 24, 2018, 05:42:23 pm
It's giving the character time to Jiren instead of Toppo. It's showing you how much of a dick Jiren is, while having all the good guys demonstrate their teamwork in front of Jiren, probably because it'll make him snap in his comparison of "solo vs teamwork and sacrifice" attitudes.
Jiren in the anime had nothing until the last minute and Toppo wasn't really that interesting either, beside being a candidate for the next GoD.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series

I can respect that, but the manga’s incredibly fast pace kinda makes it all lack impact and be ineffective. For as imperfect as the anime was, it at least delivered upon those fronts during the TOP.

Not to mention having Kale get that amount of focus and dominate for so much only to suddenly get booted almost off-screen with Gohan was very, very poorly done. The pace is fine at times times but then suddenly it shifts into overdrive and it’s very bad. I don’t feel any excitement for this arc anymore and I could care less for whatever’s stakes are left. I hope I’m not alone in feeling this.

Nah, this version of the Tournament of Power is sucking all the enjoyment out of it as quickly as it introduces something new.  I was hoping the manga was going to review what the anime did good and what it did bad and improve on the later while enforcing the former, but it's just trying now to get par next to it just with different circumstances.

Odd that they gave Vegeta his new Evolution form, or Royal Blue or whatever it's called now, but didn't give the different eyes like in the anime.  I suppose it's because with Vegeta's unchanging hair between forms it would be mistaken for Red form when the pages are in black and white, but still, things are inconsistent enough.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 24, 2018, 08:20:20 pm
Yeah, the manga is going through the tournament like a wrecking ball. It was actually nice of the anime to give the spotlight to everyone, because dragging it out is what they do, but I did appreciate the tiny details the manga gave, actually saying things out loud - Vegeta's speech, Roshi's lesson, Jiren's personality is starting to show, Kale officially being the LSSJ from U6... And The Broly rampage was rather funny, although it took out most of everyone.
It just feels like there's an actual writer who's building a world, whereas the anime just has animators who fill up space and time but only follow the bullet points of the story and don't put out much relevant text. If the anime had bothered connecting the LSSJ dots with Kale (it's not like the movie wasn't already planned), the Broly movie would have been instantly understood as the next logical step, and people wouldn't have wasted as much time wondering what sense it made.

On the other hand, we lost a bunch of nice personal scenes, like Team Earthlings actually fighting (Krillin WTF !!!!), Kefla's entire thing and Toppo's GoD position (although I wasn't much of a fan of how the anime made him seem still so far beyond SSBlue, it should have been a way to actually compare Blue to an actual GoD, rather than being an excuse for flashy explosions).

edit - oh hang on... the previous manga chapter did have Toppo mention he's a GoD candidate. But then it skipped him getting the power of destruction entirely, and his defeat makes him look ultra lame now, WTF :( (that being said, Champa's erasure had a whole bunch of emotional build up in just a few pages, not bad)
Also I just remembered the anime had Vegeta try to force his body to use Ultra Instinct and just not moving and getting beat up for nothing and then getting vexed about it. That was hilarious.

Soooo I don't get some of the character redesigns here, Freezer looks realy odd, and I know that they are using the Bardock design from the Dragon Ball Minus Manga, but it is still odd because everyone only knows him in his old design that have been used for years now, and was even used in the Original DBZ Manga, even if it was just for one panel.

Seems like a lot of other things about planet vegeta and it's destruction get's retconned with this movie. ö.ö

Post by: Bastard Mami on October 04, 2018, 09:59:47 pm
I have a weird answer. technically not, since in this continuity the bardock movie and stuff don't exist, just like the broli movies. which is weird because this is a movie too, so saying that this movie does not exist in the movie continuity but in the tv series one is weird, especially because chances arehigh this movie will get remade as tv series episodes.

Something that I only now realize thanks to that thumbnail; what is the practical point of a skirt made of Saiyan armor?  Also, isn't it supposed to change shape and mold to the user, expanding and shrinking in size, etc.?

Naked armor-less Frieza I would get a lot more if Cold wasn't there already in their signature armor.  If it was just Frieza, I would get it as him not having clothes is just natural, compliments his whole deal of being a literal alien and thus alien-like.  It becomes strange on their part though when it ends up being daddy's dropping off his naked child to take over the planet though.

I hope they intend for a larger age gap than what's implied here between Goku and Vegeta?  Unless this movie also retcons Goku's time on Planet Vegeta to be quite a big longer than originally intended.  Which could cause some further retcons needed for Grandpa Gohan and OG Dragon Ball, but we'll see, no need to jump to conclusions.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on October 05, 2018, 12:37:09 am
I figured it was when King Cold was the ruler of the empire and then Freeza showed off his dick power and officially took the throne, you know, something like that. Like his passing rite before being entrusted with the empire. Coola doesn't wear any sort of cloth or armor either, because he doesn't actually have any official imperial role. In the first place, obviously Freeza only wore that armor as a ceremonial stuff, to look more regal and official.

And yeah, I thought it was always admitted that Vegeta was like 5 years older than Goku, but was it all because of the Bardock movie that everyone assumed that ? But Goku being older was already known since Minus. I think he was 3 ? And I don't remember if the manga actually ever showed Grandpa Gohan taking in Goku as a baby, that was from the movie too, we just had the backstory that Goku hit his head early on, and even that was only when Raditz showed up. I don't remember any serious flashback in OG Dragon Ball (maybe in the anime only but who cares about that).

As for the armor skirt... well it still might stretch when the user grows to giant size, it just becomes more skin-tight.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: lui on October 05, 2018, 12:43:38 am
the manga also has a flashback of special bardock, all bloodied up as freeza describes his standoff from the special with him so almost everyone accepted the special as canon for the most part so this reaaaaaaaaally mucks things up even more lol
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on October 05, 2018, 12:52:10 am
Yeah, there was that, because Toriyama admitted that he actually liked that movie and that Bardock. But it didn't say anything about the future vision and what got Bardock there, just that he stood against Freeza and died. IMO that was completely expected ever since Toriyama made Minus, which straight up told us Goku was 3. Everyone still figured that all the other details shifted around to match the movie, but considering how unexpected Minus was, it was always a very real possibility that Toriyama would one day fix all that out of nowhere just like how he suddenly came up with Minus.

The only thing that really changes from what actually appeared in the manga is Bardock's armor and bandana, and we can just chalk it up to the general redesign of everyone. But the bandana is a big part of what made Bardock so beloved ; since the part on planet Vegeta is supposed to last 20~30 minutes at the start of the movie (they said it would be emotional for that long at the start), maybe we'll still get a short version of all that with the bandana and the rebellion, only without the future vision.

edit -
oh, in that trailer, when the Saiyans are kneeling, Cold is telling them "you can just stay under Freeza's orders from now on" and Freeza is going all "nice to meet you" (not in a nice way, in his usual pretend polite tyrant way), so yeah, it looks like it's when Freeza is officially taking over.
And the written text says "3 Saiyans born at the same time" (well, not exactly at the same time, but it's saying all three of them are the same age)
Also BTW Paragus is saying "you want to exile my son Broly ? Well then I'll raise him as the strongest warrior and have my revenge !" then Bardock says Freeza is plotting some bad shit.
oh wait it has subtitles available, you can see that.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: lui on October 05, 2018, 01:06:19 am
Freeza was shown in the trailer destroying planet vegeta without any Bardock standoff too so that's confusing.

Ah well, as much as I can reluctantly accept minus being the new status quo, what I hate is how they utterly gutted Bardock's character who in the original special is the most atypical, opposite protag DB has had. he's a bad person, a stone cold killer, someone who doesn't ever apologize for the number of people killed and races he's likely destroyed under freeza's rule, he was an interesting character.

i just really hope they dont retroactively keep him alive so they can bring him back, he works much better being a example for the saiyan legacy being destroyed by freeza.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on October 05, 2018, 01:14:07 am
Yeah, but Bardock knows Freeza has bad intentions. At this point I'm fully expecting the movie to still have him pull a rebellion stint and get killed by that attack the same way as the movie.
They recently said the first 20~30 minutes of the movie would be emotional so I still expect Bardock to die. I wouldn't mind if they brought him back afterward considering the card games and everything after that decided that Bardock was too cool to stay dead anyway, so it can't be worse than it already is, but if they dare to do that, I hope they also keep Broly alive. I know it would be weird but it just really upsets me to think they might bring him back for a movie, admitting that he's cool and everyone loves him and they can't do any new game without him, only to kill him off AGAIN. I mean, Bardock is in a similar position now, but it took a long time for him to get there, and his death is kind of a prerequisite to the entire series so any cop out would just be a massive asspull like the time travel movie, and making a movie about Broly would be an acceptable excuse to rewrite his end...
(in short, reviving Bardock would still be an asspull but I don't think they're too good for that, and at least I think they will still make his character look good just like the original movie)

Oh, yeah, King Vegeta doesn't look too bad. Until now he was just "Vegeta with a goatee" for how little we ever saw of him anywhere, but they actually changed his face a bit. And so many new designs for Saiyan characters ! I like how they're just going full out on giving us the actual life of the Saiyan race before their (not) extinction.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Koop on October 05, 2018, 11:09:59 am
That was a cool trailer. I always thought that Vegeta had a 4 or 5 year age gap over Goku but it seems like that's been changed (or it was just Toei's choice (once again young Vegeta has the widows peak hair when young))

I like how they used the old Paragus design for when all the main characters are young.

New trailer
More 3D, looks like we're gonna get it through most of the movie, it's still very noticeable, but it looks a bit less jarring this time around, I guess, did they polish it a bit ?
The song is cool.
Last time I was actually thinking that the US dub had a better screamer for Broly than the Japanese voice, but this one works.
The "uncontrollable impulse to fight" with a Broly who's "not fighting just because he wants to fight" might work out to fix him, it's a step up and might be more interesting if done decently enough.

For small specific stuff that you have to dig up, sure, but for big news that you've probably already seen blasted everywhere before you get to this post, I don't really bother. (in fact I'm surprised by how much publicity this is getting, everyone's following it closely)

So Gogeta is now officially revealed (I guess they just gave up hiding him lol) and he finally has a chance to be cool. That new move looks legit dope. And Broly looks like he's getting really fucked, that must be why they were hiding Gogeta if it would kill Broly's hype (ah, good old power level bullshit).
No I don't have a video because I'm on a phone.

Edit - ah, got the YouTube link.

Hm, Broly still has his armor at the start and loses it midway. So the last shot from the first trailer when Goku watches Broly rise up from a hole in a supreme ominous look is after that, so Broly doesn't just get his ass beat, he tanks it and keeps going after Gogeta defuses. Okay, that's scary enough.
Edit again - wait no... he still has his armor in the shot I was thinking about. Damn. So does he get punked by fusion like a bitch or does he keep going like a nightmare after that ?

Oh yeah, the full song came out a bit ago and it's not rock, it's rap. It's still okay because J-rap is far better than US or French rap garbage, but I'm massively disappointed and I'm mad at trailers that give five seconds of a cool song and when the song comes out it's the only five seconds that sound like that and the rest is completely different and I hate that bullshit.

Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on November 30, 2018, 11:18:00 pm
I'm still trying to dissect what you were intending to say, but GT wasn't retconned from Super due to popularity.  It was ignored so it didn't restrict Super's story potential any further than Z already was doing to Super as we know Super takes place before the end of Z with Goku leaving with Uub.  GT already was fair game to overlook with a number of fans though because it wasn't strictly from Toriyama's hand, though seeing we're juggling two separate canons with Super, one for the anime and one for the manga, I'm not sure how much better off we ended up in the end?

Personally, I would greatly enjoy them getting to the end of Z, beyond it and incorporating GT elements eventually, as they've been doing throughout Super's run of taking popular if not strictly canon material and reworking into the canon trying to correct any flaws along the way, but I wouldn't truly expect them to waste the time to rework an entire series into another one when they can just continue with their own new ideas.  Also Super hasn't always made things work better with their retcons, so I'd hate to see them throw in a newly reworked Super Saiyan 4 only to screw it up with, like, you can never revert back from it or something.

Anyways, Gogeta looks nice.  Acting more like Vegito in some shots, I figured he would either be dead-serious like Fusion Reborn or a mis-directing clown like GT, but I'll take what I can get.  The ki around him kinda looks like they're mixing Vegeta's Evolution with Goku's Ultra Instinct, nice touch.  I'm inclined to imagine they'll retcon this fusion's function in some fashion too, but they probably don't want or need another wave of backlash from that.  Though would be incredibly hilarious if he doesn't have GT's issue of too much power canceling the fusion, so Gogeta would now technecally last longer than Vegito.

This Moro fella is a lot more Dragon Quest than Dragon Ball.  Not sure how I feel about that for the story thus-far, but it's something different.  I guess it's a necessity of Dragon Ball for events and feats to always escalate, but I wonder what the deal is with Merus that he can be faster than Vegeta at this point staring straight at him yet can't track his movements, yet doesn't seem to show the typical manner of ki manipulation, which is expected from the Galactic Patrol.  I'd doubt it's more time-skip shenanigans.  And I doubt he means losing basic eye contact, they haven't relied on that since, well, I guess training for Vegeta and Nappa's arrival or fighting the Saibamen?  They just sense things now.  I'm guessing he just has really good tech like the Androids.  I'd say he might be some form of double crosser working his own agenda, probably in favor of Moro, since the way the ship was sabotaged was oddly specific without prior knowledge, but that doesn't explain why Vegeta can't keep up with him, so for now maybe he just is that fast.

Also they're worried about enough explosives to blow up a planet, and that's so, like, chapter 6 out of Dragon Ball in terms of threat value.  Frieza at his lowest completely drained and about to die from Vegeta in Resurrection F was planetary.  I guess these are just a bunch of nobodies here to just show off Merus being cool, but kinda just does to opposite for me.  Eh.

The latest manga chapter gave a really nice fight for Majin Buu, that was cool. It makes it a little less annoying that he got shafted for the ToP if it meant putting him up against Moro here, although it's clear that he would have just moped the floor with everyone while laughing in the ToP if he had been at that level using his magic. And then he just switches with the great kaioh shin who I assume will have a different style, so Buu had a short run but that was good enough.
Moro's more elemental approach to planetary threat is more interesting than the usual "big planet busting beam" too, it's great that they're going back to the spiritual stuff introduced with King Kai's Genkidama and Kaiohken. I'm expecting more like that.

Post by: Long John Killer on November 23, 2019, 02:03:18 am
There's a weird lingering logistics problem on power draining from this Moro technique versus the level we've seen these guys at before that Super continues to just make hard to believe.  I get Toriyama & co. trying to reel in the character's powers, but it's really stretching that a copy of a skill that's essentially just Yakon but wider-reaching is even tickling the likes of Ultimate Gohan or Piccolo.  The mad extent of raw power Gohan must hold on to at LEAST should be way more than the planet-wide extent these guys could drain to, and in such a small amount of time as well.

But then we also having things like Moro's consistent lava pillars this arc supposedly being remotely a threat when we literally just had our good guys fighting in magma just last movie with Broly and it was expectedly not an issue, so whatever.  Woo, go Gohan, you sure proved that you would be awesome if the story didn't consistently constrain you to sucking.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 18, 2020, 07:26:59 pm
Uh-oh, Goku "quits" the Galactic Patrol after confirming that Moro was sentenced to death. He's about to spare the big bad's life again, isn't he. We'll see if Moro's "help me" is the usual villain trick or if this is going somewhere.

About those lava pillars that Moro pulls off, I assume it's not just the energy from the planet alone, he's eaten a whole bunch of worlds before coming to Earth, surely he puts some of that in his attacks. He even busted himself on it just now.
Toriyama killed Yakon by saying he didn't have the tank to absorb the power of a SSJ2, Moro simply doesn't have that limit and just piles up entire galaxies worth of planet energy. Still the same deal as Genkidama going from the surroundings, to the entire planet, to the solar system they're currently in for Freeza, to the whole of humanity (instead of nearly empty planets) for Buu, to the universal version in GT. I'm not bothered by that scaling.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on September 19, 2020, 03:42:24 am
Well, we have the supposed underlying moral Goku and Vegeta are supposed to be learning by the wrap-up of Super from Whis, Goku's being his naivete and placing too much trust in reforming his enemies into friends.  It ironically worked before meeting Whis with fighting Beerus at the beginning, kinda got the bad side of it trying it out on Frieza again with his visit to Earth and used his Get Out of Jail Free card with Whis' time rewind.  Doesn't particularly apply to the Goku Black or ToP arcs, so I guess post-Whis' advice, this would be the arc where letting Moro live will eventually turn out positive in the end.  Buuuuuuut I also consider that moral more-or-less wrapped up with Resurrection "F", don't expect it to be made to tie into this arc.  Moro kinda lacks the tragic backstory or equal footing naivety Vegeta and Buu had.

It's funny to me seeing his boast about his galaxy-wide power, when surely we are multi-universal by many of the main cast by now.  I mean, it does tie into the whole fact that our main universe of the DB cast is woefully small and unpopulated, so Moro's scope to compare to without, you know, actually going ahead and destroying the universe outright is likewise restricted, but it's always amusing when the logical power scale characters must be outclasses the seemingly large-scale vocabulary the author uses.  Yeah, galaxies are big.  Planets were too until Roshi blew up the moon.

Anyways I don't even remember which panel from which chapter it was 10 months ago with the lava prior, but sure, I guess that's as good a reasoning as any for it without them explaining it.  It doesn't seem that way with how it's presented always sprouting from deep underground from the planet's natural sources, but it's magic, whatever, it can be whatever it wants.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on October 21, 2020, 05:02:52 am
Well, new chapter's out and yep, he spared Moro's life.  Good news, there was some more thought process behind it on Goku's end than just two brain cells can come up with.  Bad news, not enough brain cells for the wild card that all-encompassing "Magic abilities" cover.  Weird news, Moro's now that Green Lantern planet.

I feel I should be more annoyed at this, seeing that's the general online reception, but two things are holding me back.  One, general expectations of Super at this point but two, I do appreciate that unlike with Cell where Goku was leaning on his ace in the hole being his son, someone who's psyche he doesn't know in and out like and act like Goku would assume, he was just clearly aware that the gulf in power was insurmountable between the two that he was free to give Moro this olive branch and be just fine if Moro backstabs him.  Which yeah, that's exactly what happened, back to the Whis lesson.  Even after the red herring of Moro getting Merus' powers screwing Goku over, they go on to show how Moro's having MUI doesn't mean he's well equipped to USE it.

The sticking point for me there is now that we've gone full circle back to Whis' lesson and Goku, having got his mercy offered and rejected, was able and willing and in the process of killing Moro, then they threw in his body swapping technique out of the complete blue and going as far as to count the whole planet as an individual (I guess we're Sailor Moon, now).  You had a genuinely nice if not perfect point to stop at and have Goku commit and reflect on his necessary actions to stop Moro.  Arc's dragged on as is anyways.

Possible upside if this eventually leads to afterlife Ginyu cameo complaining about this oversight of his with the body swap ability.  Also dunno if this was confirmed at some point or we were just lying on assumption, but nice to see the white hair from MUI isn't just a Goku/Saiyan thing, implying that the Angels are indeed just always in MUI, but more importantly, Beerus would just turn into albino peach fuzz if he ever gets it.  Which is hilarious.

So I guess they have a few ways forward from this but the most logical would be to make use of Vegeta's soul sapping whatever skill he picked up and was quite proud of before he got his mandatory beating.  Following that, we COULD have them destroy the Earth.  They have the means to fix it afterwords, but it still wouldn't be an action they would make lightly.

Though it would be amusing if they went that route and restoring the Earth just brought back the Living Planet Moro Earth one.  In fact, wonder if this is just a localized event or we're going to have freaky Moro geological locations around the globe eating people?  I mean, Buu did it already, but that's kinda most of Moro's schtick anyways.

Post by: Long John Killer on January 24, 2021, 01:05:21 am
Kinda.....odd of Vegeta to choose this path.  I mean yeah, I get it, there's two options and we already know he's rejecting Goku's taken path on principle.  But we and they know Whis is better than Beerus.  Vegeta's goal is still to be better than Goku.  So....why go with the guy who every party acknowledges is the lesser of the two and less likely to gain anything fruitful from studying under?

I mean, I say "less likely", we know the story will bend to prove that wrong later on down the road anyways, but now I'm figuring that Beerus is the kind of guy whose ego would curtail whatever new Vegeta development occurs as to prevent the student from surpassing the master.  He wants a challenge out of these Saiyans, not to be dethroned.  Which I'm guessing is also why he hasn't picked an actual new fight with Goku to hold him accountable for, like, everything, because as much as they've retconed Beerus to remain top dog as power levels continue to ever increase in Super, Ultra Instinct was kinda the wall he needed to break through to get over Beerus.

Unless, you know, they pump up Beerus' value once again and now he's not humbled by Goku getting it before him, he didn't NEED it, he just WANTED it.  Or something ridiclous to that degree.

Anyways more Frieza.  Yay, I guess.  Still wishing Cell got some acknowledgement like the other two main Z baddies.

Beerus is a lazy ass cat, considering the power creep and the comparison whis made, that beerus was a palace and they were trees, Goku is likely not even close to beerus half point.

Then what was the POINT of Ultra Instinct?  It's Beerus' white whale in comparison to his caretaker's source of power, and Goku got to it before him.  And now his sights are set on Whis and the Angel tier list.  Beerus is old news.

We saw something about vegeta's new tecniques when vegeta was watching ultra instinc fighting agains jiren so vegeta thought he wasnt prepared to turn into ultra instinc but anyway he was be able to hit jiren faster than goku and goku was be able to scape from jiren's punches faster than vegeta maybe it will be something like that, the new power vegeta will get.

Super Kaiohken is anime only atrocity and its name shall be spoken no more.
Ultra instinct is just a step on the powercreep ladder. Remember when Super Saiyan God was a Saiyan with the power of a god (totally not in response to the Goku vs Superman death battle crap) and that was it ? Powercrept less than one movie later (not even worth showing it).

Post by: Long John Killer on January 26, 2021, 12:09:53 am
I'm fairly certain the timetable doesn't line up for BoG's new form to have anything to do with Death Battle's negative reception.  Beyond that movie's scope and solely on Toei's end, ignoring Toriyama?  Maybe, though doubtful.  But if anything, that came up in response to Dragon Ball Evolution.  Also, like, everyone's poked dozens of holes in both Goku vs Superman videos on how poorly done it was on both sides.  I mean, going out of your way to find the bio description on Superman that specifically labels how he does not have unlimited strength, showing it, then deciding "But we don't want to include that because it would alter the narrative ideology outcome we want" is about all you need to know on them.  Even if Toei cared, it would not take much insight to roll your eyes at it.

But anyways, I'm not talking power levels, I'm talking narrative of the series now.  There was a build-up to Ultra Instinct before we even knew what the thing being built up to was from the beginning of Super, akin to Super Saiyan in DBZ.  Beerus just also sat as a benchmark to mark what achieving it puts you past.  Having Beerus still be in the lead now makes the whole story be pointless from Super anime's additions to BoG and RoF up to the Tournament of Power.  The exception I COULD see was what I mentioned before, but that would imply Beerus doesn't need UI whatsoever, he's just greedy and wants it for his ego.  But if that were the case, he wouldn't be not just lower than Whis on the totem pole, but nearly negligible to Angels.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on January 26, 2021, 01:29:07 am

As for UI, once it's mastered, it's not like Dragon Ball is just going to sit down and say "that's it, this was the end game, Goku will never get any further than that because that's the top of the universe".

Didn't read as a joke, sorry.

And, I mean, yeah?  I'm not gonna argue against that, that is true?  It also goes along with the "Beerus is old news" schtick.  Now he has this Angel tier list and Ultra Instinct 2 and 3 and whatever the hell they come up with.  Some new daffy force Toriyama cooks up like Zeno's lecturing dad on not cleaning his toys or something.

Been a while since this thread's been active.  Time for a bump, because we got a new transformation.  Spoilers, I suppose, but it's also been out in the general news for a few days now.  Vegeta's turn now it seems.  Guess Royal Blue or SSJB2 or whatever from the ToP was short-lived.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

It's...odd looking.  Both SSJ3 and Ultra Instinct Sign looking at the same time.  Mostly just ends up with Caveman Vegeta.

Also I guess story's continued to a degree.  Mostly fighting over an misunderstanding that the good guys now know of but don't quite care about the details.  Granolah taking out Goku was a bit weird in its reasoning given.  First they state that even his super perfect scanner eyepiece thing shows MUI has zero openings or downsides, but later on he is able to go all Kenshiro and pressure point his heart to explode because "His accuracy lowers over time".  Despite....not doing any moves or techniques at the time requiring accuracy whatsoever.  Eh, I'm assuming what the translation meant that its ki guard becomes more erratic over time, not continually perfect always.

Oh also Goku's heart got pressure pointed and gave out.  Or at least that's what it seemed from the outside.  Then he got up later this chapter and there was an aftershock also in his heart but he ignored it.  The effectiveness of damaging vital organs in Super has been very all over the place and it's weird.  A nice callback would have been to have his go into his God form and heal it like in Battle of Gods, but guess we're not doing that, at least up to this point.

Glad to see Vegeta finally having a thing of his own, but yeah, that design is leaning too heavily on the monkey thing. Especially with that pose with that angle.
I'm curious about where that story is going but I don't quite have a good feel for it yet. It's cool that they're doing really new and unique story arcs with both Goku and Vegeta learning more about different paths to god powers in the background.

Comic-con panel for the 2022 movie, Super Hero. Quick teaser near the end (just the title card with music basically), a Goku animation that seem to say the movie will be a lot more 3D (still half 2D probably) than classic 2D, and some character artworks of Piccolo, Krillin, kindergarten Pan, and a pair of new guys. Since Pan is growing up a little, I really hope we'll finally see Goten and Trunks start growing up too. We're getting really close to the final chapter of the manga if Pan is almost 4 (and yet I don't think we'll see Bulma appear nearly as old as she looks in that chapter).
Also lol, Piccolo actually has a house, Namekian style.
So, not Janenba after all. ... Well, maybe.

The teaser of the movie, but it looks ugly why? they are so obsessed of using 3D models
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on July 25, 2021, 04:59:18 am
I too vastly prefer hand drawn 2D artwork, 3D anime has traditionally been MUCH farther behind than your typical western blockbuster example, but it's not exactly Blue Submarine No. 6 quality anymore.  Since Land of the Lustrous I think we've gotten good examples of 3D anime and I'm left to assume Dragon Ball of all anime properties will get the people behind it to make it shine.  If nothing else we know Toriyama's art style works well in 3D because Dragon Quest has been running with it for years now just fine, if video game to theater production not being an exact one-for-one. (Oh right and duh, all the freaking Dragon Ball video games.  Because somehow I legit forgot all of those for a moment)

It's mainly a heavy distraction when it switches between the two.  Worse yet when it's on the same character, at least with mecha your brain is expecting the machine to look different.  It's why Ressurection F and Super Broly just looked weird and standout when they just swapped out Goku and Vegeta for 3D models for a scene or two.  Granted doesn't always work with the mecha example either just not being humanoid, the first thing I often think about when pondering early 3D anime is the Sailor Moon R movie's Earth-shattering asteroid being beautifully hand drawn up until it gets close then they decide to show off their 3D skills of the time and it becomes a 30 polygon count blooming flower planet.  But that was freaking before Toy Story was a thing.

In short, if they keep the whole thing 3D and it generally looks like this quality throughout....

I think the movie will do just fine.

One thing that Minus and Broly retconned was that Goku is the same age as Vegeta. Goku landing as a baby came from the anime, it never was in the manga (the head bump as a child is only mentioned once by Raditz, I don't think the manga ever showed it), and Minus/Broly showed Goku being about 5, like Vegeta, not a baby.

But the anime and manga contradictions are voided now, aren't they?  Toriyama had some press briefing on them both being equally canon or something akin to that years ago.  I mean, yeah, it's STUPID, it causes all sort of wrinkles in the finer details, but that was their take on why Super has two interpretations of the same story with its anime and manga as well.  Plot beats in one end of the story are supposed to be assumed happened in the other I guess is the takeaway intention they were going for.

Toriyama had some press briefing on them both being equally canon or something akin to that years ago. 
I haven't seen that (sounds like something he might have said when the Bardock SSJ movie then Minus came out, in fact ?) but it sounds to me like a typical "I don't care about canon" answer from an author who doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. He's just saying "IDGAF, you can keep your anime canon alive, I'm doing the manga canon, everything is canon" so no one gets upset that the thing they like is "not official" / no better than a random Internet fanfic. It's very common, and I don't think it means one canon is incompatible with the other or you should assume that one canon also exists in the other until it's contradicted, they just exist in parallel until something is mentioned in both canons. The only thing you could consider a contradiction is that Toriyama worked on designs for both Bardock and Broly (he even namedropped Bardock during the Goku/Frieza fight), yet the events weren't manga canon until Minus and the Broly movie which "contradicted" the Toei movies.
Personally I'm just ignoring everything from the anime until Toriyama makes his own spin of it.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Long John Killer on September 22, 2021, 11:58:06 pm
I thought it was more recent than that.  Still years old, but from the release of Super's manga.  Eh, whenever it happened, that's the general gist of it anyways.  I personally always correlated the Dragon Ball and DBZ anime to the GT timeline, since the franchise might not do anything new with it but it won't ever let it actually die in the public eye thanks to how everyone and their mother loves SSJ4.  GT makes references to anime filler that Kai and Super just ignore.  Don't quite know how it works with the dozen OVAs out there, because GT also references them yet I always thought the fanbase-wide interpretation was the movies were all in their own timeline with events shifted or deleted to make room for World's Strongest and Cooler and Broly and whatnot.

ANYWAYS, decades old filler aside, I was actually not at all aware the current Dragon Ball canon does not count Goku hitting his head as a child rendering him without his innate Saiyan barbarism but also is why he's a massive idiot.  I had always considered that to be a key part of Dragon Ball's whole legacy, his change of heart at such an early age is where his whole pure heart stuff came from.  Elsewise he was destined to just grow up to be another Raditz.  Not a fan if that's the case its been changed.  Not a fan at all.
Title: Re: New Dragonball Super Series
Post by: Byakko on September 23, 2021, 01:20:24 am
Goku did hit his head, Raditz asks exactly that and Goku confirms it. It's just that it was always assumed he was a baby (probably because Raditz says it, I don't remember the exact phrase, that detail did get thrown out), and Minus showed he was about 5 already. But Raditz does say that must be what changed him. And made him dumb probably yes, that's still the accepted meme canon.

Nice catch on Broly, really glad to see that (I wonder if they planned to have him visible there, seems like a big spoiler to be revealed with such a tiny detail). The new character (and surely the other one too) is also revealed to be from the Red Ribbon, they hid that detail on the concept art they showed this summer. He has the attitude of a super hero, so is the Red Ribbon trying to pose as good guys fighting the dangerous Saiyans ? Also weird that they have a picture of Buu with his angry eyes. Are they trying to reveal that Buu was a bad guy that killed everyone after the ending of DBZ had everyone's memories erased, or something along those lines ?

Post by: Byakko on October 20, 2021, 09:24:18 pm
Few things from this month's chapter...
The manga is mixing a few different designs of Saiyan armor that were previously assumed to just be either evolving over different time periods or just retconned with new designs for the hell of it (Bardock's armor)
Ape Bardock just chilling on a tower doing fucking nothing for several whole ass panels lol
The old Namekian hid from Granolah the fact that he (the kid) is responsible for his mom's death
He didn't use the Dragon Balls, not even to revive the mom - maybe kid Granolah died and the Namekian chose to revive him, and then couldn't help anyone else because as they've been hinting multiple times, he's weaker, so his dragon balls are weak ?
Vegeta does remember Bardock (if only from hanging out with Raditz for a couple decades) but never discussed it with Goku. Okay.
Bardock found out the gas heaters planned to betray Freeza, but they're still alive and the Saiyans are not (I forgot, are the heeters still serving Freeza since his revival or is this just a coincidence ?). Maybe they're planning to handle Bardock's failed rebellion from this, beyond this mere flashback cameo, and we'll get a good new look at it.
I really hope Bardock is only surprised that Gine's tummy is flat because he didn't realize it's been several months and she's given birth since last time he saw her, rather than the manga trying to suggest he doesn't understand what pregnancy is despite having had Raditz before Goku. The fuck was that, really. Like "what the fuck, did a tiny person just come out of you ?"
If it is just because he didn't care to keep track of her pregnancy time, then maybe that checks out with him acting kinda nonchalant about deciding on a whim to spare the mom and kid : he just doesn't care about much most of the time and ends up being oblivious about a lot. Look at him lying so easily about looking for survivors, that man does not give a shit about anything, and with a straight face.

(It's Toyotaro, not Toriyama)
Nah, he was looking around, then he found someone running toward that broken building. Probably went there thinking he would round up anyone trying to escape, like he's today's lookout or tower guard, but he found a mother and child instead and changed his mind.
Bardock isn't suddenly a good guy just because he saved three people among however many races he's genocided at this point.
I'm just waiting to see him actually fight, if they can make him as brutal and tactical as the old movie.

I missed him before but we see kid Raditz playing with other kids outside for one panel when Bardock is talking with Gine. Father and son clearly don't care about each other.

The trailer kind of makes it look like Piccolo ends up in critical condition and Gohan is out for revenge in his name. I wonder if Red Ribbon is trying to punish Piccolo for his first tournament and for his dad. Also, their hero is a cyborg android like the other RR "weapons".
I'm gonna assume that Broly only makes a cameo and doesn't actually get involved. It's nice that they're acknowledging the previous movie even if they don't make use of it.

Yeah, it's been a long ass time since everyone has been begging for anything about sidetracked characters like Gohan and Piccolo.
Toriyama's third movie will be about the mightiest Earthlings Krillin, Tenshinhan and Yamcha, with Kame Sennin's biggest secret about his era as a hero, you heard it here first.

By the way, I can't remember if Super gave Gohan his SSJ form back (I think Resurrection F did it, and the anime probably did but I think the Super manga never did ?). This movie giving that form such a strong focus feels like they've been wanting to really address the Mystic form question but never got around to do it properly. Remember Battle of God when they showed SSJ Gohan in the trailer but then went back on it and took it out of the actual movie after people asked what the fuck was going on ? And then contrast with them glancing over it in Resurrection F, explicitly pointing out how much weaker he's grown, and moving that into the time-wasting training montage he got in the anime before the TOP.

By the way, about the manga, apparently some interview about this trailer mentions that the Granolah Arc is ending soon and next year (probably early in the year) will start the next arc.

Yeah okay, so now that we have a full fight, Bardock really has none of the ruthless savagery from the movie, he just has Goku's "I fight because I wanna" only mixed with Vegeta's "also, I'll win at all cost (except when I fail)". He's more of a survivalist underdog and not a lone commando. That's not awful, but still a massive downgrade in character.
That wish is..... NOT convincing at all. Come on. (and it's hilarious how he STILL didn't consider reviving the mom. Not even one throaway line on how his dragon isn't even powerful enough to do that, they just forget LOL)

Bardock isn't suddenly a good guy just because he saved three people among however many races he's genocided at this point.
I'm just waiting to see him actually fight, if they can make him as brutal and tactical as the old movie.
It took six months but we got the final nail in that coffin after all. He's even thinking of his kids, FFS.

... I wonder if Goku will mention to Monaito how he knows two four other powerful Namekian chiefs (Guru, Kami, Dende, and the one who replaced Guru) whose dragons are strong enough to raise the dead, it'd be smart to showcase how different Namekians at different power levels can create a weaker dragon (like how Monaito only has two minuscule balls). Like back when Dende came to Earth and they mentioned how he was still young and not very strong.
... Did they tell Monaito they know a bunch of Namekians already, including a whole planet of them ?

I just want to be the first to say that I feel like DBS has had some pretty high moments during the Goku Black, Universe Survival and Moro sagas but things have been kind of going downhill for me since Granolah. I don't want to get into spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the manga but Granolah sucks so much as a character and the villains weren't much better.

Not only did we get a stinker of an arc, we've also got an entire prequel + recap of DBS Super Hero that is still ongoing as if everyone and their grandmother hasn't already seen the film by now. Lately, I'm just not as invested in DBS as I was before, and I'm just going to stop expecting any worthwhile storytelling from Toyotarou and Toriyama.
