Yenma said he sent Dabura to heaven in the manga.

What the anime did was. Show him being in heaven.

If we ignore the anime filler that shows him reforming that means that we don't know what he's like in Heaven or what that even means. But, like. If you had a map or gps and wanted to know where Dabura is, Heaven would be his last known location.

Maybe he's still an evil prick.

Maybe Heaven is just. Exactly like Earth's Hell where Frieza is. The only difference is it's in a different place and has a different name.

But our most recent map of the afterlife indicates that Heaven is a separate place from Hell, and the manga says that Heaven is where Dabura went.

I don't even know what Heaven means in the context of DB's afterlife. Presumably people in Heaven don't need to repent. So maybe it's sorta Buddhist or whatever, where once you're a purely good person or reach enlightenment you don't have to reincarnate anymore.

Frieza is going to have so many fun reactions with the rest of the team.

Literally everyone on the team has a reason to hate him. Even Roshi, Tien, and 18, and they barely know him. [lol]

I swear if this arc ends with Goku and Frieza becoming friends it will be the greatest thing ever.

Given how we've had it introduced that Freeza has a particular distaste for Krillin (presumably for a being a person he killed who dared to return to life, let alone face him again), I figure we're going to get at least one scene of him antagonizing him and his family.

Y'all think bring back Frieza again will lead to Neko Majin becoming canon in some way? It'd be interesting if they somehow introduced Kuriza into the canon...

I think I might suffering an existential crisis although Super tries to capitalize on our nostalgia, it does so in a way that it makes feel like they are using it against me. It is getting harder and harder to enjoy Super because of all the asinine choices they make in the arcs such as Goku's increased selfishness, remaking the movies, the whole Trunks arc, etc. IMaybe I am no better than the hatedom who actively despises Super but Super seems to give me what we wanted in Dragon Ball by twisting or taking it to (il)logical extremes. Somebody please PM me, I really am developing a massive contempt for Super..

I'll PM you if you want but do note that I am 100% in the 'Super is garbage' camp

but if you want a variety of opinions, there's that. I don't think anything you're thinking is wrong at all, these things are quite normal in franchise revivals.

Which is kind of dumb, since Caulifla isn't actually being chummy with Cabba most of the time, yet that is apparently more than enough for Kale to want to kill him/go berserk over it.

Well, to be fair, the way Caulifla treated Cabba is kinda like how I imagined Sayian flirting to be. [lol]

Also, I still give even odds that she'll fall for Cabba for real before this arc is over.

...Poor Cabba.

[up][up]I too have many problems with the way Super does things, so you are not alone.

I have similar issues with Super as well. Really hoping this tournament is a major growing the beard.

I also really hope the next arc after the tournament is something adventurous. Something a like in DB & Z involving travelling to a new location or something with a good supporting cast with a new epic antagonist. The Future Trunks arc is the closest we got to that.

Super is seriously wasting its many universes & varied characters by just using them for tournaments. There is a lot of potential to this shit.

[up] (2) Dragonball often uses tournaments to set up bigger arcs, no?

The audacity of Super and the reactions to it make it worth watching.

I liked this scene better than I thought. I'm in the Super is "okay" variety, there has only been three moments that angered me, but otherwise, i'm enjoying it.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

Huh. I thought the consensus in this thread was that DBS was at least somewhat redeemable. I'll be the first to admit that it's very, very flawed, but I think the fight scenes are very well choreographed and animated, and the other worlds they've created leading up to the Universe Survival tournament are absolutely fascinating.

I mean, I can't be alone on that, can I? You all wouldn't keep watching it if it was complete trash, right?

...right?

The opinions here are somewhat varied.

I mean I like the show more or less. There are things I have issues with but I try to see the bright spots along with the negatives.

[down] Indeed, the same. Like I love Frieza but fuck Buu should get some love too especially after the poor guy got in shape this time.

Like, I like the basic idea of the plot point, with my main problem being that I don't want Frieza to replace Buu.

I feel the basic concept of Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with Frieza for the sake of all of Universe 7 is sound.

Honestly, I just wish they'd stop fucking using Freeza.

This isn't entirely Super's fault because he'd be overexposed in all other aspects of the franchise, but it was bad enough the first time they used him - this is just getting ridiculous.
