Ultimately the manga is stupid and literally nobody cares about dead tree books. It's not 1859.

The manga is very cool especially the great color versions of which I own the whole Freeza (not Frieza!) battle (which owns)

Prepare for trouble!

And make it a double!
how can you claim Super is anything BUT canon when it has an episode where Toriyama's old editor comes back as a ghost, is the villain of the episode, and is annihilate by Beerus, *AND* features Vegeta getting jobbed by Arale????

This is a brave new era my friends, of when the headcanon becomes the canon. Even for Toriyama.

Vegeta having a working knowledge of Shonen Battle fighting styles and the physical properties of gag characters is still the best thing ever in Dragon Ball.

Seconding this. The anime is canon. Driving Piccolo is canon. Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-Ken Times Ten is canon. Bulma's mechsuit battle with a giant crab monster is canon.

I think it's worth discussing the difference between the two if just because while Toriyama has problems as a writer he's generally pretty good about being consistent and sometimes plot/character inconsistencies result from that. It doesn't really apply to Super though for obvious reasons and something being filler isn't synonymous with it being bad or unenjoyable.

You're all entitled to whatever headcanons you want.

Toriyama will continue to ignore as many of them as he wants.

I mean, you're not actually wrong. But we don't have access to the notes Toriyama gave both of them.

I explain that away as Cell's regenerative abilities being so amped up by that point, that while the Destructo Disk DID cut through him he regenerated so quickly that the energy from the Destructo Disk was dispersed. Or something. I guess. Listen, I dunno. I'm not a great scientist like Bardock.

Haha I was kidding re: "canon", Toriyama was writing by the seat of his pants/to the tune of curveballs from his editors and IIRC he wound up stealing a bunch of stuff from the anime, there is nothing close to a "true vision"

(Sadly this also means people who think Super is "more canon" than GT are fooling themselves)

Do we know how long it's supposed to last? Even before any new characters to explore, we have a bunch of established guys who will presumably get their time to shine, based on how things have been handled in Super so far.

They're not going to talk about how long an arc will be before it even starts. I would imagine it'll be at least as long as the Trunks one.

Probably didn't help last arc been over for about six episodes or so now. It just feels longer because up to next week is still part of the Future Trunks arc.

The stuff with Hit, and now Krillin seem way more like training for the Universe Survival arc, and not just the aftermath of Trunks. The new arc has essentially already started.

Yeah I have no idea why this stuff wasn't just lumped as part of the next arc instead. It has more to do with the tournament then Zamasu and Trunks.

If she really is tied to Cabba like people are suspecting then probably Vegeta.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
It's going to be Vegeta, he's going to be smug as gently caress. And he's going to Job, while 18 makes snide remarks.

This would be kind of great, though? Cabba went back home after the tournament and was like, "Honey look what I can do! *transforms*" and then Braly would have just been like,

"Sweetie, no. MY POWER IS MAXIMUM!" *nukes a galaxy*

That fun theory falls apart when you realize that Cabba and all the other saiyans of his universe had no idea a Super Saiyan was even a thing.

Yeah but when Cabba got home he taught the move to every other sayajin, so now they can all do it. Women who go super sayajin always turn ultra buff, it is natural sayajin anatomy. We have just not seen it yet.
