Dragon Ball Super |OT6| The waiting game
- Thread starter ArchedThunder
- Start date
Super still had nice talent. The problem was that the schedule kept them from doing their best and several early episodes actually had breakdown like the infamous Episode 5.
Zamasu's arc was a good idea, but the animation was still very average overall, the plot inconsistent and they lost me as soon as Goku and Vegeta had to come back and forth multiple times when they got their asses kicked. It got old very quickly.
They only went back and forward twice.
And not seeing the plot inconsistencies outside people not being able to follow a time loop.

The ironic thing about this discussion is that there is a gap of 3-4 years between each Digimon show.

Different being is that Digimon for the most part is
self-contain to that particular series like the original show to Frontier. It's like the Pokemon games.
Was a real snoozefest, also lol at Piccolo saying the universe is at stake
Wow yeah that was boring.
Also didn't take long for UI to just become another super sayain form

UI was never special in the manga outside of the bootleg Roshi UI flex.
Show out for 8 panels than get beat like always what you mean?
Discount mafuba against Moro like Tenshinhan in the Daimao arc.
Goku will lose and Vegeta will swoop in and save the day with his new technique that will probably somehow be analogous to a Super Saiyan form so they can make toys of it
Manga forms gets almost no toys. In fact, they get none. Like took until the Broly movie to get Super Saiyan God Vegeta toys despite it being in the manga for years.
Heck if I know. Knowing Toyo, I bet it's something lackluster like Moro's wish.
I find it hilarious how much of a huge nothing that all was. Built up over a few chapters only for a bunch of mooks who didn't really amount to anything.
But we got diet Hit, Zarbon, and Yamcha did something.
I don't say this lightly, but 73's design was straight up lazy on Toyo and his editors shouldn't have let him get away with it. At least the Botamo clone was a panda bear instead of Winnie the Pooh.
Me, on my knees, pleading: "Please Dragon Ball, you can't keep using stamina as the end goal for every new thing"
Dragonball, pointing: "Stamina"
Dragonball, pointing: "Stamina"
I feel like his editor just approves whatever. They can't even be bothered to correct major issues such as Goku's characterization.
I think Piccolo is far worst than Goku. Super manga Piccolo is constantly terrible.
I haven't given a review on the manga chapter in months, but I feel the need to comment on this one.
First, for those who are saying the anime will adapt this arc, there is a big issue here. Omen in the manga doesn't work like the anime version. Whis and Merus call Omen the gateway to the true UI that drain stamina, which makes little since since the completed form also drained Goku's stamina but whatever. In the anime, Omen is never called or treated as a 'gateway'. It is outright called incomplete because Goku is thinking while attacking so his attack power sucks. I don't see why Toyo adapted Omen from the anime, but decided to make his own explanation for it that turned it from an incomplete form to some half-step. That and completed UI not having the same energy drained issues as Omen is the opposite of the anime where Goku exploded upon completed UI in the minute that he had it, while he was able to keep Omen for at least another minute and was just tired afterwards. Also, outside of the air punches, Goku didn't even fight differently. It was literally the same paneling and speed lines that Toyo has been abusing for years. I mean, Goku got hit by an attack that he could have easily dodged. I mean, people mocked Episode 130 for tuning down UI Goku's dodges, but he still fought noticeably different, especially when he rode ki blasts.
Two, why is Jaco the only one giving good commentary? Serious, Gohan and Piccolo sound so dumb in this chapter. Also, side note, seems UI in the manga uses god ki since Piccolo couldn't sense it.
Three, Beerus knows that Moro is eating his universe and still sits on his ass doing nothing even after the events of the TOP. Can we please kill Manga Beerus.
Finally, Goku saying that conserving stamina isn't his thing. Excuse me. This coming form the same person who invented Mastered Super Saiyan because he wanted to save energy? The same person who also mocked Golden Frieza for his poor stamina in Resurrection 'F'? I guess I shouldn't expect less from 'meh, need more power' Manga Super Goku.

The further this arc gets in the more I doubt there will be an anime adaptation.
So far Toyo has tried really high to raise the stakes without changing the status quo - the only telling thing will be what Vegeta achieved in his training, if it's just better ki focus or whatever I think we have our answer.

"It's OK Dad, we left the Dragon Balls with Dende, so don't worry about destroying the Earth."
Like, I get that they wish people back all the time, but Gohan shouldn't be so cavalier about billions of people suffering just because they have the option of bringing them back.

If DB anime ever comes back they could end up skipping it and just referencing the events I guess. I think this arc could be potentially pretty fun if it was expanded on, even if it has kind of just descended into the same ol' same ol'
