Yeah, I've always used it as plural.

Anyways

Is confirmed the manga will skip the Broly movie entirely and will instead have a manga original arc set after the movie. This is a supposed leak about it.

People are speculating if this could lead to a more direct connection between Super and Heroes since the mysterious new guy in SDBH World Mission is sporting the Galactic Patrol Emblem in his person.

I'm actually shocked that the manga is skipping Broly. I mean, it's another chance to have Goku steal the show with a new powerup where he fuses with Vegeta, but somehow only gets Vegeta's power and otherwise stays Goku, before kicking Frieza into a sun, before high fiving Broly and showing that only he could befriend Broly or some poo poo.

Maybe he's secretly a Broly fan or is scared to get crucified by the old and new Broly fanbase that is going to come up from Super Broly. Maybe they just want to try something that can be entirely his/experiment some ideas for a show to do.

Some of the original stuff he's put into the adaptations have been good, so an arc Toyo does entirely by himself seems like it has potential.

One of the more disappointing things about GT is how Uub is sidelined for a lot of it.

One of the most dissapointing things in GT is how EVERYONE is sidelined except Goku. 7 Dragons, 7 heroes. IT should not have been that hard.

The only thing that I really appreciate about GT is the Latam opening, which is my favorite Latam Dragon Ball opening. Paradoxically, the Latam Super openings are among the worst.

the manga skipped rof too, so it's not without precedent

what I'm curious about is whether the anime will cover this arc that the manga is about to start. the idea of a manga original filler arc is wild to me

The Adrian Barba versions are great though, so I'll keep ignoring the "official" versions forever in favour of the actually good ones.

Yeah but ultimately ROF is kind of a filler arc. It doesn’t really add anything to the story, hell its only contribution is blue which happens off screen. So I think this does day a bit how important Broly is.

On one hand I appreciate other characters getting a push but on the other, it's sort of weird how Master Roshi had this Super era comeback.

Fair enough for the Tournament of Power; I think emphasising that he has experience to compensate for his relative lack of power is a nice change of pace. But it was odd how he's brought to fight Freeza's men when Tien shows up and says be left Chiaotzu and Yamcha behind because even Freeza's low-level goons are more than they can handle.

(I didn't really enjoy the Resurrection of F movie that much - it was just okay.)

It isn't bad for other characters to exist and do things besides Goku and Vegeta to a lesser extent. Having Frieza out and about allows openings to Cooler things.

I really hope they don't do Canon!Cooler next. Broly had a unique aesthetic and gimmick that was worth salvaging from his terrible original characterisation and backstory so I appreciate why he got a do-over, but Cooler really is just a lovely Xtreme knock-off of a much better character. Do something else with the other universes and the gods, we really don't need every film-only villain to be dredged up and given their own arc.

Or if Freeza just hates him eternally (because he's taller) but doesn't really do anything about it except whine.

The important thing that was missing from either Cooler movie was any personality or motivation at all. Partially because he never interacted with Freeza or Cold on screen, and just showed up...wait I don't even remember why he even came to Earth.

To kick Goku rear end for killing Frieza.

They did try and set up some sort of thing with Cooler, it just doesn’t work.

Didnt he say he didnt even like Freeza but he had to just because that was embarrassing or something. And then he didn't somehow realize he was weaker than his brother at the time?

Maybe? To be honest I don’t think I’ve seen any of the movies more than once. I just remember his motivation really vaguely.

Cooler only fights Goku because Goku killing Frieza makes the family look bad, he hates his brother. Cooler is a character I can easily see something good being made out of especially if you actually have him interact with his brother at all, but they can't just do what they're doing with Broly. I feel like that goes for a lot of the movie characters if they're looking to canonize some of the more popular ones, but to be honest I don't hate the idea of making some of them canon as long as they do right by the characters/make them more fun than they are in the films. Like the fact that Cooler apparently attains Golden form in Heroes entirely out of spite for Frieza is one of the most amazing things.

Make it so the reason Freeza got to take over the Planet Trade Organisation despite being the younger brother is that Cooler was an honest businessman who was content with his position as regional manager for a mid-sized intergalactic casual dining chain, which disappointed their father.

I want Tree of Might to be canon in some capacity because I really liked that gimmick. Not saying Turles has to be canon but like the tree itself and its power enhancing fruit should be canon.

Turles eventually ran into Tarble and together they wandered selfishly in the universe, destroyed whatever they liked, ate delicious food... and drank delicious likka!
