BAAANG
New design philosophy my ass 🥀
 
The best DBS arc? What are you on about
Neither Moro nor Granola arcs are the best, also he fcked up ToP arc, U6 arc, BoG arc and kinda Future Trunks arc. And in terms of powerscaling he just didn't give a thing, not even more abilities that hadn't exist before

Son.

The DBS manga has a plethora of new abilities after Z, the early DBS arcs are excusable since it was just meant to be promotion for the anime up initially, and what do you mean he messed them up? If you mean by them being different then that's entirely excusable since both do their own things with Toriyama's outlines
 
He straight up made Goku forget everything he was taught in original manga, like his skills as a master, which anime didn't. He also made Goku even more stupid than in anime. In anime it looks like he's just acting as in a moment with Frieza where he treaked him for coming to ToP and using Earth dragonballs for resurection(they can't revive twice and Goku knew that in anime, when in manga he was just an idiot)

Like what? Cell could absorb ki before Moro, weapons creation was before Gas, preasure points attacks were before Granola, cloning too, etc. Only abilities that were established in anime do matter, but in manga they are worse and weaker than in anime(and some was established earlier in Kai, like immortality for souls and ability to destroy them with ki like Buu).

ToP, BoG and U6 are objectivly worse than their anime counter parts. Most characters weren't even revealed properly, even thou they are "the strongest in their universes", also many characters abilities are worse. For example: Botamo, in anime he could transfere all the damage into another dimension which is much better and more original than...Luffy's rip-off in manga.
And I won't even talk about Vegeta can't lift 1000 tons, Goku vs Moro where Goku didn't even show moutain lvl feat when he was fighting at his full power and didn't hold back the entire fight(he didn't even care about the Earth as Gohan said him to not do so, but ********** desided to make Goku featless), Vegeta strugling against Namek's only energy, etc.

That moment with Frieza is dumb in comparison with the anime but that's about it, there's no moment like Goku forgetting senzu beans, forgetting he did meditating, or just being extremely immature like he is in the anime

And them being weaker than the anime is worse how? The original manga is also weaker than the anime heck most anime adaptations are just superior to the manga, Goku also never had duplication before. And the manga does have some advantages over the anime, like having higher layers of ki sensing than the anime, Goku's Deconstruction/matter/soul destruction & possible EE, additional BFR, Vegeta getting proper Hakai, instant transmission and spirit fission, it's not without its merits.

Again early DBS manga was just promotion for the anime which made arcs go by much faster with less content, the anime was really the main focus even starting production earlier than the manga.

You genuinely cannot enjoy the moro fight because there's no key jiggling 2-C feats? And stop saying the r word
 
We cannot be calling toyotaro a ****** because he didnt adhere to powerscaling fetishes. You gotta watch/read the show for enjoyment then look at the powerscaling you cant see media only in the eyes if a powerscaler cause then you have takes like this. If anything id argue the dbs manga took the powerscaling in a better direction than the anime but i wont get into that

Also mb for using ableist slur

In manga he also forgot all that and forgetting senzu bean(anime)<forgetting everything he was taught as a master of martial art(manga).
And them being weaker than the anime is worse how? The original manga is also weaker than the anime heck most anime adaptations are just superior to the manga
Anime isn't a manga adaptation, what did prevent Toyataro from showing better feats, abilities, statements, canonicity, cosmology, etc? Nothing, he was making everything by his own.
Goku also never had duplication before. And the manga does have some advantages over the anime, like having higher layers of ki sensing than the anime, Goku's Deconstruction/matter/soul destruction & possible EE, additional BFR, Vegeta getting proper Hakai, instant transmission and spirit fission, it's not without its merits.
Duplication is kinda sus(dopilgangers are useless in a fight), also he could potentially do that because Tien is much inferior in skills. Layers of ki sensing...Goku could destroy matter and soul, and deconstruct things in DBZ via ki. BFR for throwing in space? That's just a strenght feat, not ability. Also Toyataro kinda retconed his hakai, which not doesn't erase but destroy in anti-matter manner. Spirit fission is also kinda useless, especially when he NEVER EVER used it again
Again early DBS manga was just promotion for the anime which made arcs go by much faster with less content, the anime was really the main focus even starting production earlier than the manga.
Manga started earlie than an anime and stopped being its promotion in Future Trunks saga...

It makes the fight look less important. Seriously, when Nappa's finger feat alone makes him a bigger threat than all Moro's sheningans and Moro himself, then there is really something wrong with it.

When?

The manga was an adaptation of the anime. It was promotional thats why it was so short. Pretty sure thats what he said

Why would vegeta need spirit fission against granola or gas..? Everything else is just powerscaling slop word salad.

No it doesnt bruh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 son 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 we not saying this cause moro didnt destroy a mountain 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yeah, in DB powerscaling itself is better, because when, for example, Sonic's characters can die from a fall, falling rocks, average explosions, etc and can't even destroy a metallic wall it'll objectivly makes chain scaling and other things in vsbw garbage for all people(especially authors themselves). When it comes to DB we can say for strange moments that it's ki control, everyone and even authors agrees, but at the same time it makes things weird. When a character that can easily destroy any universe, possibly any cosmological structure, etc, fights at the lvl of a pebble and never uses atleast planet lvl power feat(for showing he's a threat), it makes everything awkward.
 
Master Roshi said he forgot everything he was taught and then Goku remembers it and activates UI, when in anime he never forgot his training and was instead getting better in this.

After U6 it wasn't
Why would vegeta need spirit fission against granola or gas..? Everything else is just powerscaling slop word salad.
Spirit fission is kinda Moro's magic
No it doesnt bruh 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 son 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 we not saying this cause moro didnt destroy a mountain 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
For people it's important, there are entire videos about why DB is weak in terms of feats
 
Master Roshi said he forgot everything he was taught and then Goku remembers it and activates UI, when in anime he never forgot his training and was instead getting better in this.
Goku didnt forget being a martial artist and roshi didnt mean in a sense that he literally forgot how to be a martial artist just that he just forgot the reasom he learned martial arts. Not to conquer his opponents but conquer himself
After U6 it wasn't
Never said it was after uni 6
Spirit fission is kinda Moro's magic
What does that have to do with what i said
For people it's important, there are entire videos about why DB is weak in terms of feats
For people who only think in terms of powerscaling maybe

Genuinely what are you talking about
Anime isn't a manga adaptation, what did prevent Toyataro from showing better feats, abilities, statements, canonicity, cosmology, etc? Nothing, he was making everything by his own.
And again you didn't read what I said, both went off the same outline and did things differently, I was talking about anime adaptations outside of Super because that's clearly a different case. And why do you think more powerscaling slop being shoved into the story for the sake of OP shit makes something good, you would hate og db lmao
Duplication is kinda sus(dopilgangers are useless in a fight)
Can be used as decoys and fool the enemy while prepping for something or be a harder target
Layers of ki sensing...
Your point?
Goku could destroy matter and soul, and deconstruct things in DBZ via ki
??
BFR for throwing in space? That's just a strenght feat, not ability.
BFR through physical means also counts
Also Toyataro kinda retconed his hakai, which not doesn't erase but destroy in anti-matter manner. Spirit fission is also kinda useless, especially when he NEVER EVER used it again
Provide one bit of evidence for Toyotaro retconning hakai actually try. Spirit fission is not at all useless it just doesn't have a use against Granola or Gas, it is a major counter for not only absorption users but also fusions
Manga started earlie than an anime
That doesn't matter production started earlier and it was the actual main focus of Super
and stopped being its promotion in Future Trunks saga...
Yeah so bog and U6 are included in that? That just leaves one arc and it's not even bad lol.
It makes the fight look less important. Seriously, when Nappa's finger feat alone makes him a bigger threat than all Moro's sheningans and Moro himself, then there is really something wrong with it.
Not every serious fight needs a key jingling shocking feats for someone to look strong, Raditz was able to easily without any statements or feats where he destroys even a building.
 
Goku didnt forget being a martial artist and roshi didnt mean in a sense that he literally forgot how to be a martial artist just that he just forgot the reasom he learned martial arts. Not to conquer his opponents but conquer himself
Goku in manga was just thinking about bigger strenght, when in anime he never thought only about it and by that he was a great mastial artist.
Never said it was after uni 6
When u6 arc ended in manga, Future Trunks's arc was already airing on TV
What does that have to do with what i said
Moro's magic was kinda useful, so as spirit fission could, but Midtaro desided to not make a difference between Goku and Vegeta, because it's better to show how Vegeta is swimming in a fight between characters who can destroy anything
For people who only think in terms of powerscaling maybe
No "The weakest shonen hero!?"
 
Goku in manga was just thinking about bigger strenght, when in anime he never thought only about it and by that he was a great mastial artist.
1. In the anime this interaction never happened so its a bad comparrison
2. The manga is being realistic given goku’s experiences in the past (buu saga and beyond) never specifically needed a martial artist just someone with a huge powerlevel to beat the bad guys so yea it would be normal for goku to just think he needs to get stronger.

Ok..?

Idk what hes saying im only fluent in english and am learning chinese

Fun fact: I like og dragonball more than continuation. So nah
Can be used as decoys and fool the enemy while prepping for something or be a harder target
When your oppening can one-shot them...
Ki is litteraly destroying matter and souls(Buu would destroy souls via ki, duh).
BFR through physical means also counts
No, it's just a physical strenght
Provide one bit of evidence for Toyotaro retconning hakai actually try.
Beerus litteraly said what Hakai when he was explaining it to Vegeta and it's different from everything we saw about hakai before
Not every serious fight needs a key jingling shocking feats for someone to look strong
If it's a climax of a arc's story, then it NEEDS it
Raditz was able to easily without any statements or feats where he destroys even a building.
Raditz has destroyed an entire mountain without a sweat...

1. Because Goku in anime is a better fighter obviously
2. Training with Kaio-sama he was getting better as a master, training with 100G he was getting better, training with Gohan he was specifically getting better as a genius and it even was pointed out.
Idk what hes saying im only fluent in english and am learning chinese
He's saying what I said

Somehow
When your oppening can one-shot them...
oppening? They can be one-shotted or not real and still be useful, all of the scenarios I listed them in have nothing to do with them needing to be durable or strong
Ki is litteraly destroying matter and souls(Buu would destroy souls via ki, duh).
Ki has never been used in this fashion, and Buu never destroyed souls with ki this has never happened in the manga
No, it's just a physical strenght
It's BFR through physical means it's so easy to understand
Beerus litteraly said what Hakai when he was explaining it to Vegeta and it's different from everything we saw about hakai before
You're just flat-out wrong on this

Not only does it not need it, Moro was gonna destroy at least the galaxy so lmao
Raditz has destroyed an entire mountain without a sweat...
No? This never happens in the manga

Gets scans for your stuff for once
 
1. Because Goku in anime is a better fighter obviously
Manga goku would be a better fighter since he mastered autonomy but whatever floats your boat
2. Training with Kaio-sama he was getting better as a master, training with 100G he was getting better, training with Gohan he was specifically getting better as a genius and it even was pointed out.
Training with korin he learned to control his movements he was moving around to much when fighting leaving himself too open. Training with kami he learned to be agile and nimble. Training with king kai he learned to enhance his spirit and his body And with whis he learned autonomy, letting his body move freely on its own and not through his mind. (This is literally in the imgur i sent)

Vegeta is just a unibrow im crying
 
Shouldn't the Grand Priest's (Daishinkan) existence erasure be considered layered, since he can supposedly erase Goku despite Goku having resistance to Hakai?

That and Zeno erasing the likes of Jiren and 100% likely Goku as well, and the other destroyers who can endure each other's destructive energy. This has been kinda sitting in the back of my mind this week
 
Does anybody know any TV anime-specific statements regarding canon off the top of their domes? Anything with the phrases "worldview" or "Dragon Ball World", "original story", or "parallel world" is especially appreciated. I don't watch any of the original anime, and I don't really engage with any of the supplementary material outside of the Extreme Battle Collection.

In the manga he erased Merus before he was erased by the rules he broke and got an EE layer there which was already accepted, honestly I also think like this for the anime even though we don't have a Merus scene yet, I'm pretty sure what Whis said to Goku was something that threatened him and also other beings like Beerus that's why they didn't dare to say anything, Zeno has a 6D EE which doesn't need a layer I think but Grand Priest should be a different thing here
