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

(***review up to chapter 66--End of the Moro Arc***)
After 1.5 years since my original review of this manga, I still highly recommend it over the anime version of Dragon Ball Super. Before, I only thought of it as a quicker, higher quality alternative to the anime, but with the addition of the Moro arc it has much more to offer. The Moro arc is the longest so far in the manga, and was able to tell its epic story with appropriate pacing since there was no need to keep up with an anime version. On top of covering the events of the anime in a ...

I pretty much enjoyed it (way better than anime)
the story goes on and the characters grows more, yeah some are repeated but damn Akira still got it. I liked how there are smart ways to win not all about power, and I like the new characters and power scaling it made it all fun and exciting to read if you read it take it as a dragonball pace and see how existing and how much thought was put into it not much I can say without spoiling but it's a must read and hopefully they make an anime that straight out the manga next time

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 ...

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 ...

As of now I can say that dragon ball super is well worth the read. Please give it a chancel if you like the concept of ultra instinct and dont mind the forcefulness of Super Saiyan God (SSG) and Super Saiyan Blue (SSB). Something I should mention, do not buy the physical copies even if you nostalgic about DB and DBZ. The colored version on Colored Manga is the best way to read it and contains 90% of the chapters to date in full color.
The hype peaks in the Moro arc (which was perfectly executed) and even the following arc is it still very good ...

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 ...

The Dragon Ball Super Manga. No Comic has so many prayers and haters at the same time (probably).
VISUALS: There are people on the internet who only rate Animation, artwork or writing.. Especially for the DBS Anime. There are YouTubers like "Anime Ajay" who upload Episode Breakdowns for each Super Episode that has been aired. But he looks only at the animation, the compositing, direction, storyboard and in rare cases the writing. He can rate an episode completely with the visuals, like it would be formula. And that is totally fine. I also enjoy looking at cool animated shots, hearing epic music and seeing creativity on Manga ...

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 ...

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 ...

As a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, I was excited to delve into Dragon Ball Super, hoping to experience more epic battles and thrilling adventures. While the manga did deliver on some fronts, it also left me with mixed feelings.
On the positive side, I appreciated the introduction of new characters and concepts, expanding the Dragon Ball universe in exciting ways. The new transformations and power-ups kept the battles visually engaging, and some fights were truly spectacular. Additionally, seeing familiar faces like Goku, Vegeta, and the others back in action was a treat, and their character development, albeit subtle, was satisfying. However, there were some downsides. ...

Dragon Ball Super is a part of dragon ball as the name indicates, it takes place after the buu saga and the end of z
The plot is a bit wacky and follows the same core that goes something like: goku wants a fight -> villain appears -> goku and vegeta get their asses handed -> goku and vegeta hit the gym 10 times harder than before and kick his ass. Some of the arcs and villains are great even by non db standards but i am not going to claim that there is some insane storyline building from start until finish because there doesnt have one. as ...

Im writing this as someone who enjoyed dragonball super casually since the beginning. If you turn off your brain you might have a fun experience. However,lets be honest with ourselves Dragonball Super should be judged as what it is. It is not a serious manga that is made out of passion or love of the art or francise. It's a cashgrab rehashing a legendary manga series for profit alone. Giving them strange blue hair and a thousand transformations that become meaningless in the next arc, terrible antagonists that have overtly simplistic backstorys, weak plot threads, boring paneling.... But since the tournement of power arc

this the first dragon ball related series i've READ so if some things i say seem obvious to you if i had read Z or the original, sorry, i wouldn't know
story, 6: dragon ball super's story, while it never tries to go out of it's boundaries too much, it's entertaining for the most part, but it's probably not what you're reading dragon ball for, it's probably more for the world, or universe, building and the classic characters. the story spares nothing to the readers when it comes to movie content, it completely gets written out and just leaves a page that says something like "this ...

Dragon Ball Super was very good until Tournament of power,Moro Saga was very good to good,but the 'Granolah the Survivor Saga'' goes from mediocre to bad and to worse.I speak for the story,Art is great for me,Characters some good and some bad,and because all of that,i'n don't Enjoy so much the Manga now.
Toyotaro must change dramatically the story from the next Saga. Granolah the Survivor Saga: Τhe news characters are boring,the bad guys are stupid&bad idea(for me),the backstory of goku's father is unnecessary and very bad choise to use it. Moro Saga: Ok it's and interesting bad guy,but in the end,i think they used him very bad,very nice the ... |
