Coming up with an alternate explanation doesn't mean it didn't contradict the original one.

Obviously this is all subjective, except that anyone who likes Toei is wrong.

It was unnecessary...

It does little to detract other than being questionable...

It adds no depth...

5 minutes lasted a bunch of episodes, how long did that one day Karrot came back to life even last episode-wise.

[up]Saw it popped up on my twitter feed a couple days ago. It was in Japanese so I have no idea if it was legit. But considering it was a few days ago I'm sure people would say something if it was true. :p

I didn't said 16 love for nature wasn't mentioned, what I said is that it wasn't shown. There is a difference. I said 16 death was more tragic in the anime because we knew him more, in the manga he was sorta there.

Also, I heard the rumor Fembroly is Cabba wife on 4chan some days ago, but it appears to be a hoax.

It doesn't actually make a difference. He wasn't super into nature, he was just peaceful. Watching the birds fits that.

Another Fem Broly design? https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/854305510715047937 I like how "Here Comes A New Sayian!" is written exactly like "Here Comes A New Challenger" Edit:fixed

The Potara time limit is now in the Super Manga, so we finally know Toriyama came up with it.

Well, once again, it is an explanation other than "randomly happened inside Buu". Earrings that can merge a lesser being into a Kaioshin, if two lesser beings use them, a fusion happens but ends up failing.

Yeah, gives an explanation to the unfusing in the Buu saga, and adds an eerie parallel between the Kaioshin and Buu. I like it.

One has to wonder why we're getting that explanation now instead of back then.

Potara fusion is weird in general. I guess Fusion Reborn kinda but Toriyama in a hard place.

Toei generally seems to go ahead in the most unsublte way possible: For example, the female saiyan seems to be Toriyama's work, yet Toei seems to have been full ahead and turned her into female Broly.

To say nothing of Trunks getting a transformation that accounting for nothing, Goku spamming Blue Kaioken (and Blue in general)... Yeah, it is showy, but it feels like the kind of stuff seen in filler sagas or the movies: Flashy but inconsequential.

No see, if it was the movies then they'd wait until halfway into the fight to actually use SSJB.

To be fair, SSJB is handled differently between the manga and Anime. For one, there's no apparent stamina drain for using it.

Whether that's good or bad is up to you

The manga uses it as strong but taxing, due to being pretty much 2 transformations being used as once (Super Saiyan God AND Super Saiyan at the same time; Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan was its original name after all.)

The anime uses it as standard fare.

Not sure how to feel about how SSB is used in the manga compared to the anime and vice versa.

I mean, I suppose it should have some drawbacks, but do those drawbacks make it more interesting, or place too many limitations on it. Also should they be able to use it more freely once they've mastered it (which is what I assume they are supposed to be able to do in both versions).

I mean, I thought after doing Full Powered SSJ, Goku no longer had to worry about the energy drain of Super Saiyan, but it's apparently still a thing.

It feels like Toriyama has created way too many Awesome, but Impractical techniques with completely unfixable drawbacks. You can't even mitigate them a little.

Also....The hug was fine. Completely fine. There are plenty of things to rag on Toei about, but that really shouldn't be one of them.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes Mission 4 scans from V-Jump!

It shows stuff from the latest DBH saga, the Dark Empire Saga, and it shows off a ton of new cards! First off are the cards with the new TAA: Super Slash, an ability that lets the player do enough damage to the opponent by slashing the touch screen multiple times. The characters that can do this new ability are:

  • SSJ Long Haired Time Patrol Trunks
  • Z-Sword Gohan
  • Tapion
  • Super Vegetto
  • Time Breaker Dabura
  • Zamasu
  • SSJR Goku Black
  • Future Gohanks

As for new playable characters, quite a handful have been added such as:

  • SSJ3 Long Haired Time Patrol Trunks (His hair seems as long as Raditz's)
  • Demon God Salsa
  • Dark Masked King
  • Dark Dragonball Turles (with a new Cronenburg-esque transformation)
  • SSJB Vegeta w/ Family Galick Gun (provided you have King Vegeta & Tarble cards)

@Rinsan: I'm not criticizing what you're doing, but seeing information on a game I will most likely never play makes it feel like someone's taunting me. But really, I blame the fact that basically nobody in America goes to arcades, so it's not surprising the game was never brought over.

That doesn't really excuse the 3DS game, but still.

Blue really is overused lately. These days it seems Goku will use it on every random mook he fights.

Like, I would much preferred if he didn't use Blue at all in the exhibition match and saved it as a surprise during the tournament of power.

Sad they don't bring over the DS game. This shit looks pretty fun especially with all the DB fanservice.

I mean SS 3 Future Trunks, that's pretty damn awesome.

To be fair, DBH has give every version of Trunks (except for DBS Trunks and Kid Trunks) the SSJ3 form.
