All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

Super was a hot mess due to unsteady direction and a god awful production schedule, and it's still an anime I rewatch more than just about any series.
 
Honestly I don't know how to describe my feelings to Dragon Ball Super, but if I had to use one word it would be...indifference to its existence. Like I'm not going to be biased against the positives of Dragon Ball Super because there are genuinely really solid moments of hype, fight choreography, and decent character development for what it did for some characters. But I don't know, I just don't find Super to be particularly special or anything more to it then just being fun to watch.

Am I making sense here? Because I am, and forever will be, a fan of Dragon Ball but I find my attitude to new canon stuff to be sheer apathy and indifference towards its continuous existence.
 
If the Kaioshins create several planets and lives, have you ever imagined that whoever created a Universe would have to be a being of the same race as the Kaioshins?
 
My opinion is like this.

In terms of history, I thought some points like the black saga were cool.

In the powerscaling part (my ****** up nerd side) I found it bad along with some of Goku's actions.

But I can't say DBS didn't entertain me. Even the "fillers" that aren't fillers.

I don't think I'll ever feel as excited as the end of T.OP. and for that reason DBS (anime at least) will never drop from a 6 for me. Because if the anime already amuses me a lot (it entertains me), it doesn't deserve a rating below average.
I agree with you
 
DBS cant be that Bad if IT Lacks everything that makes a Manga good, BE IT the flow or art.

On top of that any1 WHO knows shreds Sees that He still writes IT Like an Anime and Not Manga ... On top of that He got No assistance ...

My Boy toyo still Cracks the top 10-20 ...

Btw Been saying IT since day 1 that Toyo would fit better in webtoon since He could Go away with a Lot of stuff.

Yall Just Mad GT Fans

Honestly........the high points of DBS are 9/10, there are a bunch of them, like the middle of the Black arc or the final episodes of the ToP


but then we have things like the Resurection F arc and the.....sigh ending of the Black arc.......honestly, tf where they thinking with the end of that arc? i hate it

Omega never disappoints me, you have good taste

I'm not a GT fan, they're DBH fans

Just because he has greater powers
??? What does Heroes have to do with people on here, like me, expressing our issues or opinions on DBS? Because you can still like a franchise but have problems with parts of said franchise that you either don't like or feel indifferent to, not everyone is going to blindly consume every aspect of a series if it's something they don't like or find enjoyable.

A part of me thinks that the ending of the Goku Black arc being the way it is is likely a result of making an antagonist that's far too strong narratively speaking, like if Black and Zamasu hadn't fused into Fused Zamasu then I think Black would've won in the end because his power boosts and his increasingly devastating abilities were starting to overwhelm Vegeta and Goku. And of course Zamasu eventually became IZ and was so strong that they had to put in Zeno to finish the job since no one else could by that point...tis the result of making a far too powerful villain
 
To be honest, I like DBS a lot. It has a lot of problems, but honestly I genuinely do vibe with a lot of it.

Sure, it has its bad parts that have been mentioned before (though tbh I like some things that people here seem to hate regardless), but honestly its peaks are just out of this world. Episode 131 of the anime probably still has my favorite fight in the entire franchise with Goku, Freeza, and 17 vs Jiren.

Honestly, I also like the Moro and Granolah arcs in the manga. Unironically. That being said, monthly releases kinda dick them over a lot, but I enjoyed them a lot on a re-read (even if I also didn't dislike them when I was going around the first time).

It's definitely not as good as OG DB/Z, I'd be pretty blitzed out of my mind if I thought that myself, but I like it well enough.

That being said, I do need to rewatch GT subbed at some point. Not even just to find out which one I like more, but just to refresh myself on it. It's been over 10 years since I did so.
 
would i be one of the few people who think the battle of gods movie is one of the only modern db media that is as good as some of the highs of Z

Judging from the Supreme Kai's comment about Buu's attack on the Kaioshin, Shin should be 5 million years old. Old Kai and Chroana (though the latter is DBH and Xenoverse only) are both 75 million years old (former also being sealed).

The 2009 Super Exciting Guide previously only mentioned 75,000 for regular Kais.
 
 
I think Luffy actually makes a compelling argument for Zeno. The universe 9 erasure when Whis is looking into his staff shows the same white starry looking void that we see when Zeno erased Zamasu.
 
Guys, would you agree if Zen'ō went back to being 2-C or remains low 1-C?

I saw some things and possibly a demotion of Zen'ō to 2-C, it's about him erasing the timeline and such, for those who want to know
Are you doing this just because of fear that db would be downgraded from tier 1

The same space was shown in manga to when a timeline got erased I told this before I am telling it now to they wouldn't show destruction of timeline in manga if they didn't mean it anime cause anime came first before manga
 
The big plot points are literally taken from anime zeno destroying trunks timeline is one of the big plot points
We know the two mediums aren’t 1:1.

I have no interest in continuing to debate this, I was just making the comment Luffy’s position isn’t as unfounded as you guys made out.
 
the events of the manga and anime diverge way too much from one another to anyone to remotely use one to prove anything for the other
The idea of the entire timeline getting destroyed is literally one of the measure plot points of the arc I have literally said it they won't give a proper explanation in manga for destruction of timeline if only u7 got erased in anime there was no need to be extra in manga where there was not even merged zamsu in manga so they could have just shown destruction of u7 in manga to

this doesn't change what i said at all
 
Bro hates and loves DB at the same time
It's a nostalgia thing at this point. As a child I thought it was peak fiction but then I grew up and realized Dragon Ball has always been mid af. I mean some people underrate it, it DOES have some depth and complexity not everyone notices, but the writing has always been rather lazy and sometimes forced. I don't think it's that good.
 
Yeah no, 23rd Budokai to Frieza is the strongest stretch of shounen I've ever read. Most series would be lucky to have something as good as the Cell and Buu Saga.

Dragon Ball has held up extremely well as I grew up and studied literature.

DB up to the end of Z is really good, anyone who says otherwise is straight up lying.

DBS on the other hand...
