I'm still baffled by Paragus having a super form and no goddamn Super Saiyan Pan.

Wow, Paragus is a Super Saiyan now?

I... don't think so. The figure in the trailer is King Vegeta.

Not Super Saiyan, it's just a Time Breaker form. He wears an eyepatch and gets red eyes.

Yeah, that. That's what I was talking about.

Like, who the fuck gives a fuck about Paragus? Wasn't he at the bottom of that Japanese fan poll someone linked to a while back to try and show how shitty Super is?

He was at the top actually.

Apparently he's like the Japanese Abridged-Nappa

Also characters from Super ranked well on that poll too.

No, he was actually in the top 10. Because of Japanese exclusive memes, apparently.

No, he was near the top. I believe he was number 8, right above Goku Black.

As the 6 posts above me (which includes me) shows that's why Paragus has a super-form.

I would've edited my comment, but I posted at the exact same second as The Mage of Fire.

I guess Manga! Jiren is true Jiren for everyone here. Not complaining.

I don't I can understand this mindset. The way people go at it make it sound like MANGA-Jiren is a different character than his anime self. If the anime shows Jiren having the same motivation & reason like he does in the manga does he suddenly merge with manga counterpart?

The way people explain it is as if the difference is comparable like Goku to Evolution Goku.

New Heroes commercial shows off gameplay of Gogeta and King Vegeta's new forms:

I didn't see Gogeta's new form, what was it?

Goku and Vegeta are gonna fight it out once and for all

Good god, those posts were hilarious.

Also, Broly Dark's special attack is a recreation of the scene where he killed Paragus, except it's a Negative Energy Ball instead of a Saiyan Pod.

[up] I meant to say Time Patrol Gogeta's new form, which is Super Saiyan 4.

The presentation is important. Even if Jiren still ends up having the same motivations and personality in the anime as he does in the manga, the manga actually bother to establish he has a personality before anything else goes a long way with people. The anime tried too hard to make him seem "mysterious" and "cool" that he just comes off as boring for a lot of people.

Is like the manga and anime versions of Goku Black. One is a wimpy loser, the other get powers out of his ass and is entertaining as FUCK, to the point you can play as him in Fighter Z.

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

Geez, it took that long for him to be playable? Good grief.

I somewhat can understand this comparing to how Anakin's portrayal in Clone Wars to the Prequel Trilogy, but that's still Anakin Skywalker at the end of the day.

That's a matter of preference though. Black being whiny in the manga is still in character because that still Zamasu who's still unbelievably Wangsty no matter what medium portrays him. Not that I don't understand where you're getting at, but they're not different characters from one to another.

We need to get Paragus up the ranks outside of Japan too.

Surely there's a better material than that? I think someone needs to request Team Four Star to make it possible, but most memes work when you don't force it.
