They showed him dying, that doesn't make any sense...

That's bad.

Wasn't that just filler and not in the manga?

It seems all of those cool scenes in the anime are just filler. sad

Yep.

Another mishap that filler created is the existance of Maron. The character itself is meh but because Toriyama forgot that Toei already used the pun of chestnut with her, he ended up naming Krillin's daughter with a similar name.

And now people believe that Krillin named his daughter after his ex

[up][up] He forgot? What makes you think he was aware of that in the first place, or cared?

I dunno, he has had some imput into filler when it comes to character design.

Although i suppose he wasn't involved with Maron because she is basically Bulma with a Fanservice Pack and that's about it. And she is dumb as bricks.

I know people talk about Nami clones in One Piece, but Marron basically looks like a straight up clone of Bulma with no real difference. Was Toei that lazy with coming up with new designs?

I agree that's it's more likely he might not have even been aware of it.

We know that when he does keep track that he can lift ideas from Toei (Bardock, and recently Broly).

We also know that he's willing to change things if they do an idea first, as that's the reason Vegetto exists (due to Toei beating him to Gogeta).

It's very likely he just wasn't aware of anime Marron and created his own on a whim.

He might have thought that drawing a female Krillin was funny.

[up][up][up] He gave them ideas, that's a whole lot different. He admitted to not even watching the anime.

Which explains quite a lot.

Between that and his Throw It In nature, it's not a shock that there are so many continuity breaking moments, though some of those are Toei purposely ignoring how things work.

They probably should have kept him more informed of things.

That being said, is the re-use of the Marron name really the worst thing that's happened? I mean, it's questionable in universe how Krillin named his daughter after his first girlfriend, but considering no one in their circle gives two shits about the whole Yamcha cheated on Bulma thing, I'd say it's just that the Dragonball Gang are just chill about a lot of things.

Small tidbit about the movie. Lemo's VA made a vague statement about the final scene of the movie. "Goku finally...!"

Let's all start guessing what it could be! Goku finally...

  • gains control of Ultra Instinct
  • wins a fucking fight
  • kisses Chi-Chi
  • succumbs to the heart virus
  • kisses Vegeta
  • Regains his Saiyan memories

These guesses are of course in ascending order of likelihood.

So obviously he'll succumb to the heart virus so Vegeta can obtain Ultra Instinct and win. tongue

Only for Vegeta to job anyways so Goku can come back as Ghost Ultra Instinct Goku.

My guess is that Goku finally defeats Beerus.

Cause what exactly would he have lost memories of?

Minus showed Goku as a kid before he left the planet, and this movie is repeating that scene in the trailers. So he could potentially remember his parents from that.
