Sometimes, it becomes really obvious how much more fond Toriyama is of Dragonball than DBZ.

Toriyama doesn't have much to do with DBS other than the general plot outline, though.

From last October's interview:

"What is your relationship with the Dragon Ball Super anime?

At this point, I'm not very involved with it. I think going forward, I'll be more involved, but at this point in time, I actually receive more information from the anime team than I give to them. The anime is a little bit further along than I am, but in the near future I'll be ahead, so the information will be going back to them. Regardless, we'll continue to support one another as we go forward."

There's nothing that suggests that the stuff he works on with Toriyama for the manga has any bearings on what the anime does, really.

I doubt he can, his work is in the manga. At worst he can say "Oh, Toriyama told me to do X and I did X.2 starring Goku".

The name you all are searching for is probably Tomioka Atsuhiro, rather than Toriyama (outlines of what the main points of the arc will be) or Toyotaro (focused on the manga). Quoting, he was the script writer for most of the Future Trunks Saga, the two Breather Episodes before the Universal Survival Saga, and almost all the Universal Survival Saga's episodes so far, and clearly remembers very well what happened in the previous two series, but unlike Toyotaro, he actually applies it to characters other than Goku.

The only monologues allowed in the manga are from the narrator, explaining in extreme detail how everything works and thus is consistent and good.

And the worst part is that there are people who think the manga is superior

Yes, clearly Goku asspulling a move exclusive to the GoDs is a way more satisfying ending than Trunks asspulling a Genkidama sword

I know enough about Dragon Ball to know that none of those excuses will matter and Goku will only become better at using it.

Remember when Goku wasn't meant to go over x2 Kaio-ken? And then just used x10 without any issues in Namek? Yeah.

Yeah, but this different, Goku won't erase someone unless it is necessary and there is no other choice. Why take away a good rematch?

He's Goku?

The last cell games video made a pretty decent point on the fact that Goku is basically just an enormous technique thief. Not particularly surprising that he steals a move from Beerus.

Edit: though I suppose he wasn't there to see it in the manga. Probably saw beerus Hakai some food he didn't like or something.

That was an assumption based on the name of the attack and the fact that the only people we've seen do it thus far are gods of destruction.

I mean, it was a safe assumption, but I'm not at all surprised to see someone else bust it out.

Apparently Trunks does still have the spirit sword as well. He cuts the two in half while they defuse which fucks things up even worse because :trunks:

Vegeta also seems to have a new technique called Gamma Burst Flash... Which ought to be cool.

RBX
Jan 2, 2011

Having anybody other than a GoD use Hakai is just plain dumb and bad. They wrote themselves into a corner with Zamasu and made him too strong; but the anime did the smart thing and just used the usual ending all stories use when this happens while the manga keeps doing stupid poo poo and not just loving ending. The Hakai didn't even finish him so what was the point? Why include it? Like does anybody who pays attention thinks Beerus and especially Whis would teach the idiot Goku how to delete people?

The Hakai not just working on everything with zero effort also makes all the gods of destruction much less scary because it means their instakill can be overcome. And in Dragonball, if it can, it will, until it's worthless
