This is a nothing post. You haven't brought anything new to the table. DB is an international thing, so your first point is already stupid. Manga sales were very good during the Moro arc, and Superhero made a shit ton of money overseas. Toei is going to be aware of this, they are in it to make money, if they only cared about Japan they wouldn't dub shit or allow video games that are largely popular overseas to be made.There's no way to quantify manga site pirating and the highest viewed Moro Arc video in Japan (which face it, is the most valued demographic out of the audience in terms of catering) has a measly 1.4 mil views
No, I'd doubt even 0.01% of the DB fanbase is on the internet actively following DB news pages. I don't think any of the biggest of these dudes who actually post manga stuff even crack 800k subscribers/followers (even the official DB Super Instagram only has 950k followers and they don't post anything about the manga) aside from a few Spanish foos and even then if you check the view count on the little manga stuff they post it's not nearly enough to say something as absurd as a "huge chunk" of the community being on here, let alone knowing about and expecting Moro
Nah because better money moves could be made with better and original shit that progresses the story instead of backtracking the timeline to do Moro and Granola
I seriously wonder how some Toyoloco managed to spread this misconception as far as it's gotten or if people just don't play these games and post shit without knowing, but the manga not being in the games has nothing to do with contract or licensing, there is literally no evidence of this whatsoever.
On the contrary, on the literal opening screen of Dokkan, it says it's licensed by Shueisa (who're the license for the manga)
You can find this for SDBH and Legends too.
Ingame
<Countless Super Attack animations and Card Arts referenced from the DBZ manga
<Two Blue Bejitas (TUR AGL SSJBE and LR SSJB and Rage Trunks' 18 Ki) have Gamma Burst Flash which is Toyble original, even has the name "Gamma Burst Flash" and not just the pose which is literally licensed manga only IP
<SDBH Hakai Goku
It's never been a contracting issue. They use the manga when it suits them like using manga original moves on Anime characters. But for Moro and all that, The manga's simply too unpopular for it's original content to be usable.
Also I never claimed that most of the community followed DB news pages, I said that they know who Moro and Granolah are. My point still stands and you haven't responded to it, you just made a vague guestimation for how many people are anticipating something. The community has been anticipating Moro adaption for years. It's everywhere. Next.
The second half of your argument falls apart because toei and shueashia have always worked together, yet we haven't seen any manga original characters in any toei property. No Moro, no granolah, no gas, no UE Vegeta. Broly and Gogeta were in Heros and in games Super quick after Broly movie came out. So yeah, that sorta disproves everything you said.
MUI Goku was in Xenoverse 2 before the actual episode dropped, meanwhile it's been almost two years and no UE Vegeta. By and large, using manga only content in toei property is way too scarce and minor to make a point.
If they would've used manga characters, they would have done so by now. A screen shot doesn't disprove anything. Toei and Shueisa are always credited together.
Basically you've called something unpopular, which it, isn't the DB community is massive, and you are underselling how well known Moro and Granolah are.
Not to mention several other points you haven't responded to. It's the same straw grasping as all the other posts.
They won't adapt two pretty massive and crucial arcs because.... I genuinely have no idea what your reasoning was because it was so nonexistent.
