Power boosts for everyone!

You get a power boost! You get a power boost! And You get a power boost!

It's almost like Toriyama is making it up as he goes!

But no, Toriyama is a genius that knows exactly what he's doing and painstakingly builds a world of solid internal logic and rules. Dragon Ball Super is not Axe Cop. 🙂

Toriyama interview:

The next to appear where the Artificial Humans and Cell.

"Since they had become the strongest in even the universe, they next had to surpass time. So with that I did time-travel stuff, but it was really rough. Time paradox, is it? I quickly got bogged down.

I basically only thought of what I was doing for that week. Even I didn’t know what was going to happen the next week. I’d draw the story like this, but I’d always discuss it with my editor to see what I should do for next week. (laughs)"

It's pretty much Toriyama was making it up as it goes and saying it himself, so no surprises here.

Krillin Latent power episode 99...

That's what the episode is called? Really?

F*cker has it easy. First that potential unleashed thing on Namek, then Roshi saying watching the battle of gods has given Krillin a boost or whatever, now this...

He'll beat Goku before Gohan does at this rate.

Gohan won't beat anyone in the series.

The best transformation to ever grace any dragonball anime.

^ It's not Movie 12 so it's automatically wrong.

Also when is this free for all across the multiverse, that Goku started with the Zeno's, supposed to actually begin?

Power ups are nice and all but if their going to get beat up by the other aliens wouldn't this make all the episodes so far a huge waste of time?

😕 How does that beat Goku going ssj first time or Gohan going ssj2?

The English voice of Dragon Ball Super's Frieza, Christopher Ayres, has been in the hospital for the past 3 months, mainly in Intensive Care Unit. Mr. Ayres explains, "I almost died twice" when he arrived at the emergency room. He explains "I have advanced C.O.P.D and final stage Emphysema". Doctors have discovered two arteries that were seriously blocked, therefore, they will need to perform surgery for "double lung transplant along with double bi-pass surgery", says the voice of Frieza.

Really sad to hear. I hope he pulls through..

Simple, it doesn't. Frieza's transformation into Golden, as cool as it is, doesn't top transformations as iconic as those, and the one he posted isn't the first time we saw it anyway.

Damn that sucks. Would hate for Frieza to have to get a new english VA yet again. Still kinda miss Linda Young's Frieza; one of the only voices from the Funimation dub I still like, but I've become accustomed to Ayres' Frieza voice by now, so would hate to see him go too.

If you're right and 18 dies simply as a plot device to make Krillen stronger from some rage boost, can I deck you? Krillen getting stronger from latent power/potential is one thing, but a team member getting wasted for it to happen? Oldest cliche in the Dragon Ball book.

^ Nice. 👆

Interestingly enough, Beerus is the only character in Z who has insta-planet-busted on panel, aside from Pure Buu and RoF Freeza. It's also worth noting that he and Whis tanked said explosion completely unharmed:

Yeah, Beerus is a beast.

Still no match for someone who survived Source energies unprotected, two giant sized planets colliding on him, or can lift infinity or push apart two universes.

But good by Dragon Ball standards. 👆

Just finished the episode. Jiren is gonna wreck house, lmao.

Jiren is a monster.

Can't wait for Derrick Saga.

Episode 96 was pretty good. Set the tone nicely for the tournament. The Saiyans (minus Gohan) are gonna be loose cannons, Frieza is going to unpredictable and Jiren appears to be on a whole other level than Goku (nothing the Kaioken x 20+ can't eventually overcome). Also looking forward to whatever Frieza and Frost have in store.

The only problem I have is one that has existed since the beginning and that's the 48 minute time limit and the size of the ring. Too small and not enough time for a fully developed story arc. Something tells me this arc is going to be rushed to holy hell, but we'll see. Honestly, all Goku Vegeta and Frieza need to do is AOE spam the entire arena, leaving nobody but Universe 11 and Hit (who can theoretically blitz every team at once), but again, we'll see.

Jiren is definitely the mortal that is above his god of Destruction, who in turn is above Beerus. also, Gin/Arak/Ivan/Liquir are badasses.

Don't you mean Krillen's gonna beat him once he gets his boost? 😖hifty:

Frieza trolling Vegeta never gets old. All the tension between everyone else too, haha.

Yeah, am hoping this arc isn't rushed, but we'll see indeed.

The games frieza seems to be playing make no sense. If you are a tyrant back stabbing mother****er why would you ally with another tyrant back stabbing mother****er? Because front in no way is going to act in a self serving demeanor? He would be better off playing it straight.
