Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

I don't know if this makes much difference to the concept.

But ki defines your existence, in addition to each person having their own ki signature, which also defines whether you are good or bad, it also defines whether you are a deity or not.

I saw GOW using this thing about whether you are a god or not to support the concept. Although there is much more there and there is more context about things.

But it's a way of thinking, personally I don't see a type 3 concept in ki, but if you can do it, well, good, I guess.
I think it would work if ki were a type 3 concept, ki is everywhere, including in: objects that don't have lives, Planets, Stars, Galaxies, Universes, even in separate timelines, even in a realm where ki shouldn't even exist there is ki there (I'm talking about the afterlife) every being that is born has their own ki.

Akira once compared ki to a concept and as if it were the same as one.

 
We literally have this on the verse page.

Talking about being someone's life force, their emotions and mindset. In addition to the additional thing that defines whether you are a god or not.


Why doesn't Ki have life manipulation? If the vital force is part of ki?
Life Manipulation is the ability to manipulate the life force that courses inside living beings or the very concept of life itself.

Possible Uses​

  • Animation: Some life manipulators are able to breathe life into inanimate objects, turning them into living creatures to aid them in combat.
  • Plant Manipulation: Life manipulators are frequently associated with plant life, enriching the ground with life energy in order to cause plants to rapidly grow. Some users can control the life energy within the plants for a variety of effects.
  • Healing/Regeneration: Many life manipulators are able to use it to heal themselves or others to greatly prolong the time they spend in combat.
  • Life Stealing/Instant Death: Some life manipulators are able to steal life energy or simply remove the life energy from an opponent's body to grievously harm or kill the target.
  • Statistics Amplification: Many works feature characters that are able to manipulate the life energy within their own body to grant them Superhuman Physical Characteristics or bolster their already great physical prowess.
Ki has none of those. At best, you can argue that abilities with Ki absorption like Genkidama or Moro's absorption do. But again, energy absorption would be a way more proper term in that case

Why doesn't Ki have life manipulation? If the vital force is part of ki?
Tenshinhan died after expending all his ki, If anyone has no more doubts, what's over ki and you're completely dead
 
Bros cooking I think that if someone does use Spirit Control it should automatically be Soul Manipulation though.
If we do propose this, I do want to say we should probably up better define Vegeta's Soul Manipulation, because we learn at the very end of the Moro Arc that Reverse Forced Spirit Fission can work. (With it being very similarly to the Spirit Bomb, but as a dedicated transfer method of Ki.)
 
And the kishimoto who just confirmed that the jutsu Naruto's most powerful weapon doesn't work against Kid Buu (your conversation)


Literally how most Kid Buu "versus battles" go 💀. He ain't like the other DB characters who wait and see what their opponents can do he's just destruction incarnate. Bro got on Earth and the first thing he did was scream and then blow up the planet.

Exactly, Naruto's conversation jutsu would be useless
 


The Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2024 took place on March 8th in Ikebukuro, Tokyo and Akira Toriyama was selected as one of the award winners in the "Contribution to the Animation Industry" category. The announcement had already been known for a few months.

At the event venue, a space was set up displaying Toriyama's manga and illustrations, as well as panels with a brief biography of the mangaka, who created "characters with a unique charm to drive the world crazy" and treated as "a mangaka who created historical works".

The point is that the organizers of the event were certainly not aware of the author's death, which was announced on the same day that the event began. As a result, Toriyama's comment on the award was leaked. This is perhaps the last recorded message from Akira Toriyama:



To be honest, I've never had a great interest in anime, not even in the past. Even when my works have been adapted into an anime format, I end up being ashamed to admit that I haven't watched them much, so I ask the teams to forgive me.

About ten years ago, in fact, I was asked to revise the script for a Dragon Ball anime movie and, at the time, I ended up drawing the characters' backgrounds and doing some simple designs. It was amazing to discover that this kind of work was rewarding and fun. I realized that I could rely on the team members to take care of the hard parts (laughs).

It's really embarrassing for me to receive an award for contribution to the animation industry from the Tokyo Anime Award Festival. Thank you very much!


Regarding the new Dragon Ball animation, Dragon Ball Daima, Toriyama left the following message

I designed not only the story itself, but also the worldview, the character design and the mechas. I believe it will be a production rich in content, not just intense action. I'd be grateful if you could enjoy watching it.


Toriyama's last living comment ended in the most painful way possible with the following statement:


Due to my lifestyle in my youth, I'm not very confident about my health, so I don't know how much more I can do. However, I will strive to create more interesting works. Please continue to support me in the future!
 
Daima is gonna be hype! Also makes sense for him to know his general condition wasn't the best. Sad for the artists burdening their bodies with the hope of making it big and even after.

Daima will definitely be good, i was watching the trailer and it looks really good (although i was disappointed at first )
