Dragon Ball Super |OT6| The waiting game
- Thread starter ArchedThunder
- Start date
Nah. Like, where's the plot, aside from a new super strong villain just appearing early on and beating down Goku and Vegeta. It's straight up just a brawl.
And what world building? Moro facing a Kai in the past is pretty insignificant in terms of world building. The rest of Super further defined the universe of DB, through a pantheon of Gods and the varying universes and hierarchies. Toyo has just introduced a strong guy who fought a Kai in the past and was imprisoned.
When it comes to world building I'm mainly talking about the Galactic Patrol as an organization. Even the Namekian's way of strengthening warriors (suggested in the ToP arc, but shown in a really great visual way in the manga arc).
When I say writing in general I think Moro is a compelling threat. It's an interesting challenge to pose to the characters, instead of one where more power is the obvious solution. It also helps that the character is attacking with energy in a novel way.
I'm highly confused on details of the recent leak/rumor(?). So Shintani is coming back as art director, and the anime will follow the manga "visuals"? Not sure I can parse this one.
i'm assuming that they want to make it as faithful to the original toriyama manga's artstyle as possible
So that would mean not exactly like Broly's art direction then?
It could also refer to coloring and the way things are presented.
Shintani already looks super close to the manga... so it following the manga's style makes sense.
Are those shintani's drawings in the middle? Shintani I always thought gave of more of an essence of early Z toriyama than later Z toriyama.

Yeah, Shintani's style is already heavily based on Toriyama's manga, from Namek all the way to Buu. So yes, they are continuing the style of the movie.

The image posted earlier with the comparisons are all Cell and Buu arc....
I know lol (if you talkib bout post 511)
Doesn't stand out to me as looking particularly more like that art than many other DB artists/animators
To be honest I dont care much for Shintani's flair in Goku's face. He scrunches it weird, or it's something with the nose or something.
There's literally no reason that couldn't happen other 'it might not be as popular than if it was about goku and vegeta'. That's the biggest thing holding the series back
Not just that, but lack of interest more so than popularity is a reason I can see for why they wouldn't do it.
Panini coming through with another DB collection!
I miss PanZ. Wish they hadn't cancelled it. So many fun combinations. This was one of my favorites, even if the deck didn't work so well in practice:
It wouldn't make sense to focus solely on the U6 Saiyans while you have the other more powerful characters out there. It would be more like a gaiden or something like that. A U6 Salada arc where Goku and Vegeta visit and help out could work, but if it was just the U6 Saiyans it might start to be like filler. Maybe start out with a focus on the U6 Saiyans and then bring in Goku and Veg. Or have G/V pursuing some other story simultaneously that eventually links up with the U6 Saiyan's plot. Then, the climax of the arc leads into the next arc.
That's way more care and interest in those characters than I think the people running DB have for them.
Good times, good times. I don't expect Goku & Company (the ones from Earth) not to be the main focus in the mainline series.

No, I don't remember anyone besides Vegeta saying that he would want to see Salada. I think he only said that like once in the Champa arc and maybe in the ToP.
The thing is, the saiyans got very little focus in the U6 arc. The main focus was Hit, and I'd argue Frost was pushed more than Cabba in that arc.
The ToP really did a lot to establish the U6 saiyans, and the focus they got in that arc compared to Cabba's focus in the U6 arc is night and day.
A few of the writers have said that they love the U6 saiyans as well. Toshio being one of them. Obviously it still comes down to the Dragon Room/ Toriyama to include them in the arc for the writers to give them any focus, but the ToP had a lot of U6 saiyan love, so I can't see why they wouldn't get focus in the future unless Toriyama just straight up doesn't have them in any of his outlines. But there'd still be SoL, at the very least, which would surely have them. Not to mention Toei won't ignore a Kale and Broly meet episode.

Caulifla and Kale are pretty popular, it wouldn't surprise me if The Dragon Ball Room suggests an arc involving them to Toriyama, if he doesn't come up with one himself.
I hope we get a Salada arc in Super 2.0 that has Caulifla and Kale playing a big part. Would be a damn shame if they never come back cause they were easily the two best characters introduced in the TOP Arc.
short description:
socially awkward recluse whose past trauma led him to have a philosophy that only strength truly matters, and only strength can keep you from suffering. there he's deeper than 90% of DB characters let alone antagonists.

Jiren is just a boring as all hell super buff grey alien. If he was more justice oriented and justice dabbing like he was originally supposed to be I think I might have liked him better.
