Oh, I know that there was some aspect of wish fulfilment with him - but I still don't think that there was an aesop about being able to do things, because it was never about an everyman who wasn't special - Gohan too was a super special snowflake from day one.

It just hit me, energy sharing for a temporary power up was established back before Battle Of Gods, back on Namek, and that was independent of the genki dama.

Any news on Pinky Goku?

Also, it just me, or does the Supreme Kaioshin looks, cuter than in Z?

And the plot on who is Black is dropped.

Well, that was disappointing.

That's funny. In the original run, it was the manga that had the sense of mystery. As Pushover said, the anime introduced the Pilaf gang much earlier than it needed to. In the manga, you didn't know who they were at first, you didn't know they were bumbling fools.

As the worst of this I've seen, so far, Freezer. The in the manga you only see Freeza's name once and all you know is that it has upset Vegeta. You know there's some antagonism there, that this guy obviously wants the dragon balls, but don't know who these strange guys in saiyan armor are all about, you don't realize Freezer is the strongest in the universe at first.

Now it's the anime exploring these things, finding them out as the protagonists do, and it's ironic Trunks is the place it does it, as that was easily the biggest mystery, and so far the only one the anime seems to have retained rather than blurting out at the earliest opportunity. He knows who Freeza is, he knows about his fight with Goku. He can turn super saiyan, even though his lack of black hair means he shouldn't even be a saiyan. He's never actually met Goku but knows down to the minute when he'll be showing up. He's got capsule corporation gear but doesn't work for them...he's a better Kyle Reese than Kyle Reese.

RIP ZAMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

At least Gowasu got to go to the future so he could say ZAMASSSSSS to two Zamasus AT THE SAME TIME before they died. And it was his final words of the arc.

The free content patch looks more interesting than the paid DLC.

Because any trace of Chapter 18 was erased by the Omni-King apparently.

  • No Black coming back in time to fight Goku, no Zamasu getting pissed about Goku schooling him.
  • Zamasu's motives are a little different, but the time loop/paradox is gone.
  • Whis's dialogue about the "top 5 people in the universe" is changed.
  • Fortuneteller Alien Lady is the one who explains that Zamasu is the culprit.
  • The color of the Potara is actually important to deducing Black's identity.
  • Vegeta is funnier in this version.
  • Goku still has never kissed Chi-Chi.
  • Black chills in his cottage.

I'm disappointed in the lack of mystery, but I'm really annoyed at the whole Goku has never kissed his wife thing.

So they just skipped straight to ....the other stuff? How the hell does that even make sense Toriyama?

I'm curious as to what else is gonna make it into the manga compared to the anime.

The Button is still set up for later, and most of the general details have survived, but there's a lot that's been changed as well.

The mystery was my favorite part of the arc, and manga didn't even try. Just "oh hey, we got a call, it's Zamasu." Lame.

Don't mind Goku Black being explained earlier than I'm sure the anime did. I also hope there won't be multiple trips to the present and back.

It seems like it.

I mean, when you think about it, we've already seen it all already, so there isn't really a mystery. I can understand Toyotarou not dragging things out, cause we know the story already.

So all that's left for him is to tell the story his way.

So is Merged Zamasu not happening then, because if it's not then that means Vegito's inclusion was all Toei's idea.
