How are you coming to that conclusion?
You know damn well that's how all rivals work in DB though lol
Wasn't he forced to come up with cell or something probably not the biggest fan
I interpreted his fight against SSG Vegeta less as having Vegeta "on the ropes" and more as Vegeta not being able to land a solid hit on him and then Vegeta selling his attacks to make him overconfident and tell him his plans.
Toriyama hated drawing all of Cell's spots, but I think he likes him other than that. Cell isn't all that popular in Japan though.
It's more that Cell just isn't very popular in Japan.
Exactly, neat ideas but the promotional anime does it zero justice.
Because it's the only thing we got outside of the fugly manga and it's still 10 enjoyable minutes.
The Heroes manga has a lot more interesting writing and action, despite looking jank. It also cuts way less of the story.
Magetta + Botamo save the day filler arc would be the greatest thing ever.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of these characters are given little to do in the future
Reminder that Toriyama isn't the only cook in the kitchen.
Google tells me his name is Zalama, I don't know where that names comes from though. I can't remember where if it was mentioned in the Anime or in the Manga.
It was mentioned in both.
Toriyama rarely planned things out in the manga.
I know some fans theorize he did it as a joke. It is at the very least a lot more simple than SSJ4.looking back, the creation of the ssj3 design made no sense at all given what we know about toriyama. the whole point of ssj was to make the manga easier to draw. today, that legacy continues with the new forms being ssj/base form recolors... which are easy to draw, and easy to repaint and sell as multiple different toys. like these transformations exist solely to make things easier and cheaper in every way possible.
ssj3 is completely contrary to this philosophy, as well as ssj4. i'm shocked toriyama at one point thought "this form needs to look crazy. i'm gonna draw a shitload of hair for this."
we ain't never getting that again.
It's only 3 chapters into an arc that takes place after the ToP.
Depends entirely on the direction the story goes. If they are just gonna fight him on Namek and the arc goes nowhere else then possibly, but if this is just the start and they go other places maybe not.
Not at all. Where some feel like Takahashi in the Vegeta v. Broly fight was the best, I beg to differ. I far preferred Onishi and Hayashi in the other fights.
