Dragon Ball Super perfectly shows why Dragon Ball should have ended with Z/KAI
Of course it being a manga review i can't speak about the awful anime art and animation that have hurt the series even more, but like i said this is a manga review so i won't talk about that.
The series as a whole lacks good writting and creativity like Z had, it looks like Dragon Ball Heroes where they just want to spam transformations to sell merchandise, this series just can't stop doing that, it's hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
Also, besides Ultra Instinct no form had any impact on Super, it's

The Dragon Ball Super manga story is based on outlines done by Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, much like the Super anime; Most of what the anime does, like introducing new transformations, hair colors, change in outfits are mostly done to sell merchandise and appease nostalgia seeking baboons, by coping exact scenes and retreading developments from earlier Dragon Ball series;
Toyotaro on the other hand doesn't seem to need to do this kind of thing, going more for the cool factor with break neck speed pacing, but that doesn't always seem to work. I want to start by saying that the Dragon Ball Super ... Apr 7, 2020
There isn't much good I can say about this other than that it has okay fight scenes to be honest.
When you start Dragon Ball Super it feels like you've missed a whole load of story. Besides from the beginning, the rest of the story feels rushed and unfinished, it jumps from one arc immediately into the next, which isn't bad in its own right but it takes time to realize what's going on. It really could benefit from some filler in between so you can actually realize what just happened. Overall the story is unclear because it jumps from one thing immediately into the next leaving ...

Dragon Ball Super manga is a "continuation" of Dragon Ball in a sense that is just fills the time in the 10 years timeskip in-between Goku beating Boo and Goku meeting Oob to train him. You can consider it filler since you know nothing what happens in Super really matters and is no different than watching the Garlic Jr Saga. But then again the ending of Dragon Ball existed for 3 decades and not everyone was reading the Dragon Ball manga to know what is filler and what isn't in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
If anything Dragon Ball Super is basically fanfiction. Drawn by ... Jun 6, 2022
Reading Dragon Ball Supers manga is like watching Dragon Ball Heroes. You can't really tell who stronger than who. It's like some of the logic of Z no longer apply.
You have times where Gohan is clearly weaker than Goku. But then it seems like off screen he surpassed him. Even Roshi performs better in his fight against Jiren than Goku did in Super Saiyan Blue. It's dumb as shit. What is going on here? I am completely confused. Even on some of the things stated and visual cues. There is an enemy that can absorb energy passively. But in a later fight he has to ... Jan 26, 2021
If you like a series where the main character continually gets stronger and stronger with no possible reason other than the fact the story allows them to, this is a series for you!
Simply put, unlike the other Shonen staples, the Dragon Ball series does not know when to call it quits. The story of Dragon Ball has now gotten muddled into what is now, practically impossible to care about story arcs or contains increasingly worse and worse plot devices (such as power levels and uninteresting God-like characters) to drive its plot. One can infer that the reason behind this is Akita Toriyama taking a back ... |
