Getting rid of "Chou"

[Nullflowerblush]

Oh, my gosh, this "Chou" thing is soooo ugly.

Introduction​

• Son Goku (Chou)
• Vegeta (Chou)
• Goku Black (Chou)
• God Zamasu (Chou)
• Jiren (Chou)
• Majin Buu (Chou)
• Dai Kaioshin (Chou)

Much like TV Anime-exclusive characters are denoted as being "Toei" pages to differentiate them from their mainline canon counterpart or possibly other non-canon iterations, characters from the Super manga who exist in both the manga and have counterparts in other series are denoted as being "Chou" pages.

No.

Firstly, "Chou" is super, super ugly to look at.
Secondly, "Dragon Ball Chou"? The word "chou" is not even the word used in the Japanese title — that would be "sūpā". "Doragon Bōru Sūpā".
Thirdly, how come the anime gets the privilege of being considered "Dragon Ball Super"? Even though the anime is the one represented in games and whatnot, the manga is considered the primary canon by Shueisha and Toyotaro, and the manga is the series that is ongoing with direct involvement from Toriyama.

Also, the manga began serialization before the anime began airing.

Anyway, we should change this.

Proposals​

1. "(Chou)" is changed to "(DBS Manga)"; "(Dragon Ball Super)" is changed to "(DBS Anime)"
2. "(Chou)" is changed to "(Super Manga)"; "(Dragon Ball Super)" is changed to "(Super Anime)"

M̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶r̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶a̶g̶r̶a̶p̶h̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶o̶rd̶ ̶u̶n̶o̶

But I agree, option 1 is cleaner

 

[Arthex]

Agree, Chou was also quite confusing for me when i started using vsbattles.

"DBS manga and anime" just makes a lot more sense.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Always wondered why they had "Chou" instead of just Manga.

Anyway. Option 1 is fine. But either one is alright

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

Yes, I fully agree with this.

I'd personally go with Option 1.

 

[Quantu]

Also while we're at it, Power Mimicry (Can easily replicate other Ki-based techniques after seeing them once) is accidentally listed twice on Chou-ku's profile. (B.o.G - R.o.F Base tab)

 

[Damage3245]

"(Chou)" is changed to "(DBS Manga)"; "(Dragon Ball Super)" is changed to "(DBS Anime)"

This looks best to me.

 

[TheRustyOne]

I'm fine with this as well.

I prefer option 1 too.

Fixed it.

Yeah, that always bugged me. I agree with Option 1.

 

[LordTracer]

I agree with changing it, calling it Chou never made sense to me.

Option 1 looks the best.

 

[Quantu]

Yeah, that always bugged me. I agree with Option 1.

Mad lad actually power mimiced power mimicking smh

 

[Arthex]

this is prolly the most uncontroversial db thread in existence.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

this is prolly the most uncontroversial db thread in existence.

Might just be, lol

 

[Planck69]

Option 1 looks good to me. Agree.

 

[thetechmaster36]

this is prolly the most uncontroversial db thread in existence.

frantically typing "dragon ball" into the search bar and looking through the threads

 

[sanicspood]

why was it called dbs chou, like what does chou mean

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Option 1 looks good to me

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

Super, I believe.

 

[Quantu]

this is prolly the most uncontroversial db thread in existence.

[Dalesean027]

Welp I mean this is already basically fully accepted already but I agree as well

 

[Jibz]

Agreement

Edit: 1 > 2 but either is fine ion mind either way

 

[Urshani]

1 is better

 

[Theendzero13]

Yeah that is a no brainer
Option 1 is better

 

[Nullflowerblush]

Oh, that reminds me.
For Goku Black, Fusion Zamasu, and Jiren, do we add "(DBS Anime)" to their titles?

 

[LordTracer]

They have manga profiles, so yeah, we should.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I'm okay with changing the names to DBS Manga and DBS Anime.

 

[FantaRin_The_First]

Option 1 is the best one, IMO!

 

[KLOL506]

I'm okay with changing the names to DBS Manga and DBS Anime.

Same

 

[Vietthai96]

Count me in for the Option 1

 

[Damage3245]

We have enough of a consensus now I think.

 

[Lacku]

agree with option 1

 

[SamanPatou]

Option 1's the best.

 

[GodlyCharmander]

"Stop it, stop it, it's already deadaccepted!!!!"

Agree. Option 1 is better. Since it's rather straightforward and easy, could a mod/admin apply the changes, as we have locked profiles?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I agree to this. I feel option 1 is cleaner and easier to understand.

Agreed option 1, btw, what does ''Chou'' means?

 

[Vietthai96]

Agreed option 1, btw, what does ''Chou'' means?

It mean Super in Japan. The word "Suppa" when they pronounce Dragon Ball Super is just their usual broken English

 

[JohnConquest1]

I like how a thing I wrote about as a pet peeve in the pet peeve thread is finally getting addressed.

 

[KingTempest]

Looks awesome, option 1 is better tho

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Agree with option 1

Firstly, "Chou" is super, super ugly to look at.

But only because of this
