I agree with the first part, but a monthly manga as an adaptation of a weekly anime means that some stuff must be rushed through pretty quickly, which much of the criticism comes from imo.

This a lotta bitching about folks complaining. I'm not gonna cut the guy slack for his work not being up to par. Toriyama or no Toriyama. I ain't insult the guy family. I ain't call him ugly. I see no reason to curtail myself calling him a sham of an artist if his art aint to snuff.
Well the last few pages was very much of that complaining. And if you can't understand the problem with your last sentence, then I guess do whatever you want.
They're welcome to shit on other people for those reasons, and I'm welcome to call them annoying for it, thank you very much.

It's not an adaptation of the anime, it's its own thing based on Toriyama's outlines that doesn't care about the anime's events or pacing.
And this isn't a pacing issue anyways.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Serious doubt there. It seems to me like the manga is at least not supposed to fall behind extremely, otherwise I imagine things people were missing like pre-tournament chapters for several characters would be in there.

The ToP was already a few episodes in when the Future Trunks arc ended.
The final fight with Zamasu could have been done way sooner than it was.
Have you read it?
There's almost zero characterization for anyone not Goku. Everyone else just stands around and gets pummeled.
Not to mention how it's not cool or exciting at all. The fights are boring to read and the main thing folks complain about in DBZ - characters not named Goku not getting to do much - is amplified even worse in the manga.
It's just not good.
Yes I have. And yes, I agree with most criticisms I have read.
Doesn't mean comments about the guy not even being a real mangaka or artist or similar stuff look any less dumb to me.
I just wanted some version of Hit to still have a soul :(
FighterZ Hit is the last hope, he must stay high tier.
FighterZ Hit is the last hope, he must stay high tier.
At least we'll never see broken Hit on the bench in the manga
His paneling is nowhere near as good as the mangaka he's succeeding.
He's a real artist, but his work is amateurish at best compared to the artist he's taking the reigns from.
I'm just imagining Goku doing this against Raditz.
"Nah Piccolo, I'll sit out while you charge your attack. I want to get stronger, and beat Raditz on my own."
It's a V-Jump manga. There's no way it'd ever have a big name working on it. And the sales of the manga actually growing through these early volumes likely solidified his position there anyway. Even if they moved it to Shounen Jump at some point, I'd guess Toyotaro would stay as the artist at this point.
Eh, people focused on Trunks' relatively smaller role in the manga, but Shin and even Kibito got some good moments before the final battle, and in spite of the lack of power up Trunks still got various moments throughout, even if his role was smaller than in the anime... which just makes Kuririn's and Tenshinhan's treatment in this arc all the more baffling.

My only issue with Goku refusing to team up is that.....he already was teaming up with Hit. Like just keep doing what you were doing you dick. Toyo should have just had him refuse from the start.
But he believes he can do it alone later in the tournament.
And he also didn't know what Hits trick was, and even when Hit pulled it, he only noticed Jiren pretending pretty late.
Real shit imagine during the Kid Buu fight when Vegeta was stalling for the spirit bomb, Goku just stops charging and floats off to the side like "Nah I wanna beat Buu by myself, you go ahead Vegeta"
While Vegeta gets the shit kicked out of him and bleeds out everywhere clearly unable to win
Exactly this would have been way better lmao

Would've been worth it for the reactions. Even Gohan would have snapped.
"the only way I can win is to just hope I unlock a new transformation" is parody levels of writing you'd find in a TFS video
He's going to get it at the very end and it's going to suck shit and the same people complaining he got it twice earlier in the anime are going to complain how the manga did it worse
Yeah that's really bad, especially since he had no real issue teaming up when needed in the anime ToP.
He did not do that with Cell.
With Buu he believed he could win due to SSJ3, a form he currrently had.
With Frieza he believed he could win due to SSB, a form he currently had
If Goku thinks he can beat Jiren by himself after jobbing to him with his strongest form, then I am very concerned for Goku's mental state.
Goku has become self aware, he knows full well he'll pull a new form out of his ass at the last second.
