Exploration is ill-advised.
Pondering more idiotic crossovers now got me the idea for Bizarro Goku. Kogu? His powerups make his hair shorter and plainer.

New chapter was great. :) I somehow didn't expect Goku to show up already.
Does that mean that Vegeta will actually get to save the day?
It'd be super funny if he shows up and Goku already c leaned up.

Vegeta will have a dramatic, if contrived, moment of realization about what a dick he used to be just before he gets bodied/heroically sacrificed.

And then Goku will save the day.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I dunno, it feels like this is the first part of the story in a while that's expanded beyond Goku being the only one that can win fights.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's at least some kind of combo victory with him and all the new moves Vegeta has.

IIRC ultra instinct isn't the push button to win move it was in the anime.

Remember that all of these people are being powered-up by Moro, they aren't that big of a threat without that. Saganbo has been given even more power, hence why he can rival the likes of Gohan.

Moro and maybe 7-3 are the only ones that are actually dangerous there on their own. The main issue is that Moro is actually a pretty good boss that helps his lackeys get stronger and that's the biggest risk in Dragon Ball history: someone that doesn't stupidly kill his own and in fact properly coordinates with them for victory. A lesson to learn, Freeza.

They are fighting dollar-store versions of the U6 and ToP fighters. Even the three girls turned out to be a knock-off Brianne.

Which means that U7 Jiren is probably hidden in Moro's back pocket.

I can't believe that loving android still isn't dead, he's just goijng to keep on bailing Team Moro out with his bullshit whatever the plot demands powers forever isn't he

Pretty good chapter though, it's a shame Toyotaro felt the need to go back to sex offender Roshi though because 'too horny to go UI' is a good gag in itself. And :rip: Tien, even Chiaozu is dunking on him now

Yeah 7-3 is a pretty strong narrative implement that gets the bad guys out of any problems. But I do like that the antagonists are presented as a team who work together meaningfully. Like Blaze Dragon said about Moro actually supporting his minions, it's novel to see in Dragon Ball, especially when it means the B team gets to have relevant fights

*e* I mean they work together until Moro eats everyone to take his power back in about two issues, but still

The storyboarding for this chapter gets kinda weird after the Krillin fight, I guess they're rushing to get Goku/Moro Gang going.

Pretty sure he would have just blown himself up instantly. Would have been cool for him to use telekinesis to score some ring outs but that would require anyone to remember he can do that.

they couldn't have brought him because he would have used his superior mental abilities to trick Jiren out of the ring and then the rest of the arc would have no tension

Chaotzu can't be giving Tien any poo poo about his ability to insult. Chaotzu needed 3 tries before he found something that stuck.

That's the most likely out come, but with Vegeta being last there it does open up for a change. :pray:

Goku is on the field awfully early for the final fight, which probably means the ending isn't just going to be 'Goku wins', but I'm still apprehensive that Toyotaro is going close out the first good arc of manga Super with its first good ending.

Buu isn't on the field yet and he put a big whoopin on Moro before he got repowered. I suspect he'll have a part to play in the finale. Maybe everyone has to give him their energy for a change.

Just a reminder that Toriyama is officially writing this now. As of this arc, he is the credited writer, as opposed to just the creator.

There's a reason the quality of the writing has seen such a dramatic upturn and it's not that Toyotaro suddenly got better over night.

Toyotaro actually had Vegeta decisively beat Goku Black which the anime didn't really let him do, so you probably don't need to worry about him not getting to do anything here regardless.

Toyotaro also had Kale be unconscious when Caulifla fused with her, which sucked rear end and ruined one of the best parts of the ToP

That sure as hell did not make up for draining all of Vegeta's character development and returning him to Cell-era but written way worse, or giving him the Red-Blue combo only for Goku to pull a better transformation a few minutes later.

That explains so much. I guessed that was the case considering how this coincided with the anime and Broly being over and thus Toriyama being totally free, but confirmation is nice. Toyotaro isn't a great artist but he's definitely better as that than as a writer.

Toyotaro must be helping concept though, right? Surely Toriyama didn't remember those namekians Vegeta dusted, the grand supreme kai and yardrats all in one arc without some help.

Much like how lovely Dragon Ball Evolution was made Toriyama interested in doing Dragon Ball again, Toyotaro and Toei’s lovely handling of his outlines made him go back and re-read his own work.

(I’m kidding. Yeah, Toyotaro is probably still getting input, but Toriyama is likely far more involved now that it’s a singular medium pushing the story forward.)

I think Infinite Zamasu and the literal Deus Ex Machina was a Toriyama idea though considering the anime and manga both did it, even though the anime had a perfectly good conclusion in the previous episode
